Stalks with a diameter error of not more than 0.3 mm need 200,000 sections, and the difference between the same size of straw slotting does not exceed 0.2 mm. The tenon -and -mortise structure must be repeatedly compared to the strict seams ... Recently, in Nan Dawangzhuang Village, Yongqing County, the straw is engraved with artists. Xu Jian is making a model of "Wanfang Anhe", one of the forty scenes of Yuanmingyuan.

"'Wanfang'an and' architectural planes are '卍' shape, it has a meaning that is Wanfang peace. Making this work is to hope that the epidemic will pass soon, everyone is peaceful." Two or four months after work.

The stalk is carved with sorghum straw as the raw material, and it is carved into a large antique building model. In 2008, Yongqing's straw engraving technique was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list. In 2009, Xu Jian's father Xu Yanfeng became the national representative inheritor of the project.

Xu Jian loved this traditional skill since childhood. At the age of seven or eight, he could independently complete cage and Chinese knot. "Due to the long learning cycle and difficulty of straw, no one is willing to learn this skill." Xu Jian said that since the age of 19, he began to study and practice his skills.

"All the skeletons of the engraved works are locked from 6 sorghum stalks. The locking stalks are made from bottom to top, from the inside out, like building a house." Xu Jian said, straw stalks tie up There must be enough patience, especially the ancient construction works. A large number of tenon -and -mortise structures need to be made of hand -made grooves. It takes several months or even one or two years to make it.

"You see that the current Liang Zhu is straight, that is because of the baked lamps one by one. Only the engraved works will be neat. "Xu Jian said that there are strict standards from the selection to the production of straw. Because each knife is digging a slot with a knife, it is common for his fingers to be injured. Now there is a 4 cm long scar on his right thumb.

The carved Yellow Crane Tower, the corner of the Forbidden City of the ancient and ancient rhyme, the old and solemn Zunyi Conference ... The seemingly simple and unpredictable sorghum stalks and the small bamboo sticks have become exquisite and unique in the hands of Xu Jian. Art of art. After 18 years of hard work, Xu Jian's engraved works have participated in more than 40 provincial and national exhibitions, and won many gold awards.

"The primary mission of non -genetic inheritance is inheritance, but innovation is also important." Xu Jian said that he wanted to integrate straw into more modern elements, such as making Shenzhou 14 and Fujian ship carriers.

In addition to studying the technique of straw tie engraving, Xu Jian also brought this non -heritage project into campus promotion. (Reporter Wang Manfeng)
