One of the sketches of "Traditional Chinese Craftsmen in Treasure Island": "Traveling in the Lacquer Garden"

2023-02-24

There is a small two-story building named "Youqi Garden" in the mountains of Caotun Town, Nantou, Taiwan, with the murmuring water, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. In the small building, 73-year-old Huang Lishu and her four students are painstakingly drawing patterns on the painted tire plate. In 2010, Huang Lishu, who has been engaged in lacquer art for decades, funded and built the "Tour of Lacquer Garden" in Nantou to create a world for lacquer art teaching and collective creation. The "Tour of Lacquer Garden" is surrounded by streams, in which the carp swim leisurely. The lively and lively schools of fish made Huang Lishu feel fond of them. Based on this, she created the lacquer painting "You". The painting does not deliberately depict the water in the pool, but outlines the artistic conception of "clear water and fish show themselves" through the different colors and shades of the fish. "I got inspiration from traditional Chinese painting techniques," said Huang Lishu, who used the visual characteristics of paint film to imitate the effect of ink painting in her creation to show the depth of fish in the water. This painting became Huang Lishu's masterpiece and was hung in the exhibition room on the second floor of "You Qi Yuan". In Huang Lishu's view, the infiltration of traditional Chinese culture is indispensable in the context of the inheritance of lacquer art in Taiwan. She has studied from Chen Huoqing, a famous painter in Taiwan, and has also studied painting and brocade piling techniques in Japan. She came to Fuzhou after ten years of art study in 1994 and was deeply attracted by the characteristics of lacquer art in the mainland. She believes that compared with Taiwan lacquer painting, the style of mainland lacquer painting is "atmospheric, rough and strong", emphasizing the sense and artistic conception, which makes her feel different. In 1996, Huang Lishu specially invited scholars in the field of Fujian arts and crafts to teach in Taiwan. She recalled that she made a lot of efforts at that time. "I think this is my contribution to the inheritance of lacquer art in Taiwan". "The delicate beauty of Japanese painting is different from our national personality." Huang Lishu said that Taiwan's lacquer art inherited from the mainland, of course, should more reflect the characteristics of Chinese culture. With more frequent exchanges and mutual learning with mainland lacquer artists, Huang Lishu found that many mainland artists combined lacquer painting with ancient Chinese poetry and historical allusions. She also integrated the idea of "combining poetry and painting" into her creation. Inspired by the song of birds in the stream by Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and combined with the bamboo forest scenery on a summer night in Taiwan, she created the lacquer painting "Empty Mountain at a Quiet Night"; She also used the Yuefu poem "Guests come from afar, leave me two carp" to create lacquer-painting to express her yearning for friends... These have also become her proud representative works. Now, Huang Lishu is studying lacquer art with four students. She took the Commentary on the Painting Record by Wang Shixiang, a cultural relic expert, as the "required course for the apprentices.". According to Huang Lishu, "Xiushi Lu" is the only ancient painter monograph left over from the Ming Dynasty. Wang Shixiang's "Interpretation of the Painting Record" is a classic work on ancient Chinese lacquerware and crafts, covering a wide range of contents, including annotations and explanations of the "Painting Record", covering the history of painting, raw materials, tools, techniques, varieties, taboos, and mistakes. As soon as she saw this book, Huang Lishu was like a treasure. When she found something puzzling, she discussed it with her colleagues and friends on both sides. Over the past 20 years, she has traveled back and forth between Fujian and Taiwan for cultural exchanges, and has traveled to Beijing, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other provinces and cities, and competed with many lacquer craftsmen
