Public | "Suzhou Board" -The universal craftsman Xu Peizheng

"Suzhou Video" was a small part of old photos that I was lucky to be saved when I served as a news correspondent in the 1970s. The baptism of time and the time of time, these images are more precious. More than 250 photos record more than 350 characters, including my loved ones, benefactors, friends, classmates, and colleagues. What made me even more moved was that more than 70 of them had already been the cause. In the book, they were there, as if reappearing that year. This is a tender album, which has its story behind each photo. Here is Xu Peizheng, a "universal craftsman" in Suzhou.

Xu Peizheng, born in Xishan Hall in 1927. Speaking of the Xu family, there is also a bridge. In the three years of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1129), Song Gaozong moved to the south of the river, most of which were the northern famous Menwan people. Xishan became the first place for the eight clans of the Nanku Eight clan because of the unique Lake Island environment and superior natural conditions. The Southern Song Dynasty heroes Xu Huiyan's steps Xu Yan Nai Xishan Xu's ancestor. In 1169, Xu Yan served as the prince of Pingjiang. From the perspective of the genealogy of the Xu Peiyu family, the descendants of Xu Taishu are the descendants.

Master Xu entered Xinhua Bookstore and was responsible for the work of 誊 Seal 1954

In the 1960s and 1970s, in Suzhou Xinhua Bookstore, No. 166 Guanqian Street, there was a well -known "universal artisan" Xu Peizheng. , Dry, the talent and creative brain blooms the glorious life.

In 1958, the Shanghai Electronics Management Factory collected product trademarks. Master Xu's design won the first prize, and he can still see his figure on the electronic tube. Among the 1414 trademarks of the Shanghai Electrification Plant in 1962, his design stood out again.

Xu Peizheng was taken on April 27, 1979 at the Internet Teacher Park

At that time, Wuxi Li's new dyeing factories adopted dozens of flower -painted patterns from Master Xu. It is difficult to imagine how many ladies were dressed in the flower cloth designed by Master Xu at that time, which was dotted with a landscape for the city. At that time, there were no computers, no printers, no electric carving machines, no inkjet machines, new books ads, and notifying files with steel plates, window display needed hand -painted, three -dimensional signatures. What is it easy to talk about a "artist"?

He has met Master Xu in 1974, and has been also grateful for nearly half a century. After retirement, take a look at life. Suddenly found that some professionalism on his body was affected by the subtle influence of Master Xu's style of acting. Master Xu's influence on my life can be summarized as three points:

Pursue the extreme. At work, I have a pursuit of perfection, the "5S" advocated in the workplace, in fact, I have long been used to it. In 1974, a friend of the Cultural Troupe danced to work in the bookstore. He said that the new master was a superman. When I went to the bookstore for the first time, he showed me the master's album. At that time, I was just engaged in photography. The photos taken by Master Xu for my daughter, whether using light or composition, gave me a lot of inspiration. Under each photo, the photography date is also used with white ink printing to make the photo information more complete.

Bookstores often recommend new books. Master Xu's hand -painted paper advertisements are always pleasing to the eye. How to do it to achieve this effect? It turned out that Master Xu specifically designed and produced a "typesetter". Using this ruler, he could quickly follow the mark on the paper, set the lines and lines to ensure that the advertisement achieves the best results.

Master Xu's toolbox will always organize well, dozens of specifications of drills, from thin to rough inserts on one plate; commonly used tools are based on the frequency of use, all kinds of art auxiliary materials, boards, and accessories are clearly displayed at a glance. No wonder Xinhua Bookstore's art room is known as "universal workshop".

endless creativity. At that time, there were no computers, and most units were hand -made printers. This kind of machine failed and the ink was not easy to dry. Master Xu uses an organic glass to make a set of printing tools, which is not only efficient, but also can be colored. He adds a small amount of paint to the ink, which not only improves the brightness of the ink, but also makes the ink's quick -drying color. Master Xu has a coarse art steel plate. He uses the printed technique to print representative evidence, observation, and admission for many important meetings and exhibitions in the city.

Master Xu has a unique door, and uses organic glass edge materials to make a mormonic box. Most people use six pieces of combination boxes. Master Xu has a new path. He first bonds a piece of organic glass into pieces, and then use homemade fine steel wire drilling, carving, and polishing. The space has another role in a magnifying glass.

Master Xu carefully made by Master Xu

Once, the newly bought van taillights bought by ICBC was hit. The driver took the damaged lampshade to ask Master Xu to find a way. Master Xu found that the surface of the lampshade was smooth, but there was a grid inside, so the raster distance was measured. First, the grid shape was pulled out on a iron plate, then the organic glass was heated, and the iron plate was pressed on the iron plate. Gallery, then plastic surgery. After careful production, this imported car finally got "cosmetic surgery". Taking it next to Zhuhui Hotel on November 4, 1992

Strictly obey the agreement. Because Master Xu is too clever, on weekdays, everyone will go to him to solve it. The repair supplement is the work for him. I was in the Junior Palace at the time, and I often produced and bid for literary performances, various exhibitions and exhibits. Every time I ask for help, Master Xu is always willing to help each other. The most impressive thing is that the completion date he agreed has never lost his contract. You should know that what I asked him to do was completely his extraordinary affairs, and he could not be ranked on the work day, and he could only do it in a busy way. Master Xu did not disappoint me once. This work style that regards promise as responsibility has always made me respect. Every time I ask Master Xu, he will always do better than you think. This is the case every time.

Master Xu is 96 years old this year. The famous painter Yang Mingyi said that his brother followed Master Xu to learn too much skills and praised Master Xu. Master Xu is not only a "universal craftsman", but also "everything." Regardless of flowers, birds, turtles, and bonsai, everything will be done in his hands, which is surprising.

At the New Year last year, Master Xu told me that he liked painting since he was a child. In elementary school art classes, the teacher often asked him to "substitute". At the age of 3, his grandfather gave him a tool, so that he had developed him from a young age. Habit. One year, the fourth harm was destroyed. He removed the wire in the old mattress at home and gave it to the mouse to give it to the villagers. The handmade classes were used to stick the feathers with sycamore balls to make birds. Surprised, thinking that he was brought to a dead bird, it turned out that the soul was also talented.
