Liubian: What is missing is inheritance and innovation

In Gifu Prefecture, such folk songs have been circulated: "Yang Yee Station (mud toys), before and after Mao Cun * Sword Jian (Wooden Toys), Erlang Temple in an earth-shattering manner (** craft), Dong Zhangzhuang Temple (Willow) ), the city's head of tigers and horses (cloth toys), Li Xinzhai (copper musical instrument), Zheng Yao factory Shishimen stand (stone carving)." Thousands of years, these folk crafts are passed on and passed on. to date.

The cap of Dongzhangzhuang Village was sold to her daughter and her son worked in the field. The old couple compiles some weaving products when they are busy, and when they are busy, they go to the fields to help the crops. This is the life of Song Tongwen. In Dongzhuang Village, Liyang Town, Ji County, the village of more than 4,000 people has 100 people like Song Tongwen.

The 50-year-old Song Tongwen had a skill in willow weaving. In his memory, starting from his grandfather’s generation, the people of Dongzhangzhuang had a tradition of willow weaving. The most prosperous development of Liuzhang Village in Dongzhangzhuang Village was in the 1980s. The enamel and basket were the necessary products for people at that time. The large demand led to the shortage of Liubian products. At that time, Dongzhangzhuang Village set up a sub-industry group, and many people made Liubian livelihood in the sideline group. There were many kinds of wickerwork at that time, including helmets for miners and construction workers, cabinets, bags, gongs, gongs, and buckets. In the village committee courtyard, people are busy every day preparing straw hats, tying, and shipping. The caps they compiled were transported from the Qixian Railway Station (now Hebi Railway Station) to coal mines across the country to provide protection for underground miners.

Since the 1990s, with the advent of plastic products, there have been fewer and fewer people who use wickerwork products, and sales of willow woven fabrics have also decreased. With less sales, less money is earned, and people in the village will slowly give up on this craft and go out to work. Most young men and women work on construction sites near the county, and some young girls and wives come to the electronics factory in the south. Go to work. The old people who have been sticking to the Liubian work are the aged from the age of 50 to 70 in the village.

What is missing is not that the market is a good way to inherit the Liubian products of Dongzhangzhuang Village. Every year in early August, the ancient temple fair and the ancient temple fair is the peak period for the sales of willow products. A medium-sized basket is priced at 50 yuan, and the smallest children's toy basket is priced at 10 yuan. No matter how much is done, each family can sell the willow products of that year in the temple fair. In addition to selling at the temple fairs, there are traders on weekdays who specialize in running villages to wholesale willow products.

“Now, we are short of a leader, bring everyone together to innovate Liubian, teach everyone new technology, and do the work of Liubian. The villagers have the basis of willow, as long as there is a good market, good technology, I believe that many people will come back to do Liubian.” Song Tongwen said, “You watch television reports, other places will be exported to the outside of the Liubian. This craft if it is lost later, it is a pity!” Liubian products, what is missing now is not the market, but inheritance and innovation.

Inheritance of craftsmanship requires joint efforts Song Dongwen is a young man in Dongzhangzhuang Village who sticks to Liubian's career. From his note, grandfather, grandfather, and father are masters of willow. He began studying wicker with his father from his teens, and it has been more than 30 years since.

“In the past few years, weaving and weaving do not make money, and most people have gone out to work. Working for a hundred or eighty yuan a day is more expensive than making baskets. Selling baskets is both costly and not profitable. Now There are not many people in the village that are interested in this, and young people do not learn much about it. Even I sometimes go out to work for others.” Song Tongwen is not without regret. Say.

Song Tongwen believes that Liubian should be transformed from a practical type to an ornamental one. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are going to buy willow baskets and willow baskets. On the contrary, some decorative wickerwork products are very popular. He who had trial-produced the Liubian medical stand successfully had no choice but to give up.

Zhang Zhangzhong, secretary of Dongzhangzhuang Village, said in an interview: “While Liubian’s workmanship is not lost, there must be a large number of people who are engaged in this industry all year round. Now that the efficiency of Liubian is not good, young people in the village are reluctant to do this, only old. The people are still doing. The village has also applied to the higher authorities for special cultural villages and inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. The heritage of this craft requires everyone to work together."
