Carved Lacquer and Jade

About This Novel
I have been exposed to the Ji family paint shop since I was a child. Not only did I develop antibodies to natural lacquer, but I also have a unique understanding of color and shape. I am a born painter. Born into a family of lacquer artists, she has a greater sense of responsibility than ordinary people in promoting traditional national crafts. However, on the eve of Ji Shuang's graduation, his father Ji Guofeng was framed and expelled from the Academy of Fine Arts. The family suffered a series of changes and blows. Ji Shuang didn't even get her diploma. She submitted her resume to a prestigious local art institution, but nothing came of it. Ji Guofeng knew that he was the one who had caused his daughter to suffer, but he was also afraid that Ji Shuang would face the same frame-up as him, so he strictly prohibited her from pursuing the path of lacquer art. Ji Shuang had no choice but to do odd jobs in a small gallery. She never forgot her original intention and seized every opportunity to realize her dream of lacquer art. However, the title of "the daughter of an unscrupulous professor" made her path to lacquer art full of ups and downs.

Lacquer art inheritance
Having a father who was an art professor who was framed for academic fraud, and a resume of dropping out of school in her senior year, she was repeatedly rejected by various institutions. In order to prevent the heritage of the folk craft street from being buried, she signed an unequal treaty with Mr. Ba and worked as an unpaid intern in his design company for one year. While explaining that she was arrogant and there was no need to give her preferential treatment, he also gave her a rich lunch, causing misunderstanding among colleagues and triggering an office quarrel. This reminds me of the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" that I watched before, in which the interns were also treated unfairly. The book, like the movie, explains how difficult it is for newcomers in the design industry, but both heroines persevered and finally became masters. Like most books about intangible cultural heritage, while explaining the hard work of lacquer art and the perseverance of the inheritors, it also explains how they were not welcomed and recognized, making their persistence more prominent. Good book, good reviews.
Very well written
I can't believe that there are wives who can write about the lacquer ware industry. I took an elective course in college about lacquer ware, but at that time the teacher only talked about the durability and production process of lacquer ware, which did not arouse my interest. However, the author thought deeply about the future of traditional Chinese crafts and compared it with luxury goods. This is very interesting. The starting point is really novel, and I also feel the difficulty of craftsmen in this article, especially lacquer craftsmen. I remember the teacher said that before making lacquerware, I would touch the lacquer tree with my hands. I would be allergic for many days, but it is not poisonous until I develop tolerance. The hands are itchy and tormenting, and there are no methods to relieve the itching. Effective, at that time I was thinking that the first step in lacquer ware is actually to select people who really love this industry, and lacquer ware can be used for many years without rusting or being easily damaged. This is not in line with the consumption value of our contemporary people. More importantly, it is not in line with the harvest theory of capitalists, so it is gradually being eliminated by the market. Elimination, there is another issue with eating habits. It seems that lacquerware emits smelly or toxic substances when it is high temperature (I can't remember clearly here. I didn't listen carefully in class at the time, and I regret it now). Currently, many people in Japan use it. They prefer cold food, but our hot food in China is not suitable for displaying in lacquerware. According to my superficial understanding of lacquerware, the author has a certain understanding. It can be seen that he has put a lot of effort into it. I like every article that protects Chinese culture.
