Rizhao pot -gift of the city of the sun

In China, two magical trees have affected the process of world economy and culture. One is a tea tree and the other is a lacquer tree. They have bred China's "tea culture" and "lacquer culture".

After the "Southern Tea North" in the early 1960s, Rizhao vigorously developed the green tea industry. Now it is already the "green tea capital" in northern my country. But the vast majority of people did not know that in the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, the exquisite lacquerware that made the sunrise first broadcast.

Non -heritage artistic innovation

"China is the first country in the world to discover and use natural lacquer. The lacquerware has appeared about 7,000 years ago." This middle -aged man who introduced the history of lacquerware is the Nikkimotya -level non -heritage project (Rizhao Lacquer Water Xu Bo, the inheritor of the decorative skills), "In 2002, more than 500 exquisite lacquerware unearthed in the Haiqu Han Tomb in Rizhao, and some lacquer wares unearthed from Jinquan Mountain and Yinque Mountain in Linyi were also engraved with ' The words "Ji Shi, these all prove that our sunlight is the origin of lacquerware in the Han Dynasty."

Xu Bo's grandfather is a local lacquer. "After my father retired, he often talked about the craftsmanship of his family. He hoped that I could continue to pass on. In 2018, my father died. Every time I saw his photos, I would think of his entrustment. Once you like the production of lacquer wares, you can't stop. "Xu Bo said he handed a delicate tea set to reporters.

In order to let Rizhao lacquerware go out as soon as possible, Xu Bo has visited Fuzhou, Chengdu, Huangshan, Yangzhou, and went to South Korea and Japan to visit the local lacquerware production technology. Suitable for making portable travel tea sets.

As a designer, Xu Bo always believed that the daily essence of the lacquerware should be restored, allowing the lacquerware to return to the daily life of people's lives. To this end, he germinated the idea of ​​designing a 'city gift' for Rizhao. After more than half a year of market research, Xu Bo created the first brand of Rizhao lacquerware- "Tea Mo".

"Tea" is homophonic with the tea vessel. Rizhao pot is the first travel tea device developed by "tea". It consists of one pot, one or two cups. Zhuo Er was extraordinary, holding it in his hands, but it was very hard. Xu Bo laughed and asked everyone to guess what material it was. The reporter did not guess the right guess from wood to pottery, from bamboo to metal. It turned out that the tea pot and tea cup were born from a roll of ramie!

The reason why Xu Bo adopts the leisure -breaking skills that have been inherited from the Han Dynasty to this day to make this set of tea is because the renovation lacquerware with raw materials as raw materials is not only light quality, but not afraid of falling.

The production process of Rizhao Potch is very complicated. First mixing the large paint and bamboo charcoal powder into lacquer ash on the ramie cloth, and staged it on the pre -made mold. When the racket cloth layer reaches a certain thickness and dry and harden, Take off the mold and polish smoothly; the next step is the lacquer and paint process. The paintware must be painted and polished repeatedly, and the large paint is applied for one day to harden the conjunctiva. The thickness of the thickness usually takes two to three months to complete the carcass and body body. The last lacquerware decoration process is also very complicated, but it is also the most colorful link. There are about hundreds of different processes. , Jade, snails, and so on.

"This is the first time in China to use plant fiber materials on travel tea sets," Xu Bo introduced. "The advantage of tea vessels with ramie cloth as the carcass is particularly light and insulated. The difference is that it is not broken, and it is perfect to solve the fragile pain points of ceramics and glass tea sets. "

Taking ramie as the bone, the lacquer ash as the meat, and the ingenuity of the soul, the sunshine lacquer ware has been shot for thousands of years, and the glory blooms again in Xu Bo's hands. Favorite by Rizhao City Planning Exhibition Hall, selected as an excellent project of "Shandong Hand -made, Preferred Rizhao" in 2022.

City gifts in non -heritage culture

Rizhao lacquerware is a precious gift left by the ancients. Each city will have some representative city gifts. Each city gifts are promoted and propagated urban culture in a unique art form. Essence

To this end, Xu Bo sorted out the local culture of Rizhao, and selected four representative local culture of "Sun Culture", "Han Dynasty lacquerware", "South Bamboo Beibei" and "South Tea". The design elements such as the word "Japanese", red and black, and bamboo festivals were refined. Finally, the lid of the pot lid was designed in the shape of the Oracle "Japanese". "Good day"; with red and black color schemes reflect the long cultural inheritance of Rizhao lacquerware; designed the pot body and tea cup with the very favorite bamboo of the Chinese, and the "bamboo" homophonic "wish", which has the meaning of blessing. The sense of honor and luxury also presents a simple and elegant pastoral atmosphere, highlighting the characteristics of Chinese culture and sunshine.

In terms of structure, Xu Bo adopts the original gap design. The sinking pot lid and the pot body form the anti -scalding hand structure, and the paint surface of the pot body is brushed, which increases the friction resistance and makes the grip feel better. Rizhao Pot Pot has obtained two national invention patents and a national practical new invention patent.

By 2022, the "Tea Mo" brand has covered a number of series such as tea vessels, coffee utensils, tableware, and libraries.The patent, and the first domestic design is the first original design in Shuangmiao Village, and the "tea culture" is the theme of lacquerware non -heritage culture research and development base.Driven by the traditional Chinese craftsmanship plan and "Shandong hand -made", the Rizhao lacquerware will be transformed with innovative transformation, creative development, and keeps innovation, constantly pushing new, so that the ancient lacquerware will return to our daily life, let the lacquerware make the lacquer wareCulture circulates in the source of Rizhao.
