Shengshi Live GL

For the next week, Shen Zhiqi's live broadcast room was almost open during the day.

This is because filigree inlay is a very complicated skill. Even if skilled craftsmen do it together with their apprentices, it will take at least a few days to make a complete piece of jewelry.If the workmanship requirements are high, and the jewelry pattern is more complicated, it will take more time. It is not uncommon for a set of high-quality head jewelry to be made for several months.

But Tang Ying wanted to show all these contents within two hours of the live broadcast, so she could only select the key parts for the live broadcast, leaving other auxiliary work to be done in the usual time.

So in order to let the audience understand this process, Shen Zhiqi's live broadcast is very necessary.

Of course, because it is broadcast all day, there are not so many viewers. Most people come in to watch it when they are free, and turn it off when they are busy.When Tang Ying is doing these things, he will not consciously explain like the live broadcast, and it will appear boring.Even so, the number of people online has remained at a very stable number.

What's interesting is that the commentary accounts in the previous live broadcast room seemed to be transferred to this side as well, and then continued to type on the bullet screen to commentate for Tang Ying, which seemed very harmonious.

The busy time passed quickly, and the new live broadcast arrived in a blink of an eye.

Tang greeted the drawing of the previous week and began to explain the production steps of filigree jewelry.

The first is thread rubbing and weaving.

The drawn filaments are called plain silk and are usually not directly usable for jewelry.Regarding this point, Tang Ying also explained, "Although gold is very malleable, if it is too thin, it will be easily broken or worn. Of course, it is impossible to keep it in the window after making jewelry. It is used for daily wear. In order to prevent the filament from being broken and damaged, the plain silk must be twisted into several strands or woven into shapes before it can be used in jewelry making.”

At the same time, she did not forget to remind everyone that although the skill of filigree sounds very high-end, in fact, in terms of current technology, the difficulty of making it has been greatly reduced, and there is no such thing as a royal family. Many jewelry stores sell it. Pay attention when buying.

In addition to weaving, the production techniques of filigree include pinching, gathering, filling and so on.Filigree is to use pliers to pinch the twisted silk into different shapes. Tang Ying chose the simplest wishful shape.Saving silk is to accumulate the finished patterns layer by layer, which is usually the same as complicated jewelry making.Filling silk is to fill the pinched shape with coiled silk, such as the common golden phoenix shape in jewelry, the inside of the tail feathers is often filled with silk.

Generally speaking, a piece of jewelry is often made using a variety of techniques, and it is also combined with inlay techniques.

For example, the golden silk Ruyi hairpin that Tang Ying is going to make is made by filigree and stuffing, because most of the materials have been prepared before. After the live demonstration, Tang Ying started the intensive production process.

First pinch out the unexpected shape, fill it with gold wire, and finally weld it.

The ancients invented the welding process very early, and welding had already been applied to the production of bronzes in the Spring and Autumn Period at the latest.The specific method is to select a metal with a melting point slightly lower than the base metal as the solder, add welding flux made of borax, rosin, etc., and then mix it with an adhesive such as Bletilla striata, fill it into the fracture of the base metal, and then High temperature melting.Because the melting point of the flux is lower than that of the base metal, the cracks can be bridged without affecting the base metal.

However, in the craft of filigree, because of the requirement of fineness, gold is still usually used as the solder, the base metal is fused and welded together, and then the weld is polished smooth and smooth without leaving any traces.

As a result, the requirements for welding techniques are even higher.

Fortunately, today, with the development of science and technology, welding has become more and more convenient, and the temperature and melting time can be accurately controlled, which lowers the requirements for craftsmen.

Because Tang Ying performed very relaxedly, and after drawing last week, although these crafts are now very powerful, the audience in front of the screen has a feeling of "the sea was too difficult for water", and the bullet screen is more lively.

Especially when Tang Ying was doing the silk filling step.She arranged the circles one by one in Ruyi's shape, which was a good one. After the arrangement was completed, the seams were seamless, which made the audience feel an indescribable sense of refreshment.

——The gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

——It feels like Tetris disappears at the end, cool!

——Although I know that it is a matter of course for Teacher Xiao Tiangong, I still want to give you 82 points, and the rest will be sent out in the form of 666.

——I would like to ask Mr. Tiangong when will he open the shop_(:з」∠)_

——It is impossible to open a store, and it is impossible to open a store in this life.gif

After the welding is over, it is necessary to assemble various parts in a complicated process, but the wishful hairpin that Tang Ying is going to make is relatively simple, and the "filigree" part is over.Next, it is necessary to enter the "mosaic" link.

"The biggest difference in the craft of filigree inlay is the extensive use of precious stones, which has changed the habit of emphasizing decoration and ignoring gemstones in the process of traditional Chinese jewelry making. In the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the development of filigree inlay reached maturity, which also represents the The highest level of traditional jewelry in our country." Tang Ying made some simple background introductions while preparing the materials for the next step.

"However, as we all know, my country's gemstone reserves have not been high, which is why gemstones are rarely used in traditional jewelry. After the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Silk Road was opened up, which opened the exchange between ancient China and the world, and imported gemstones and spices flowed into the world. , the use gradually increased. But in the Qing Dynasty, due to various reasons, gem resources were gradually exhausted, so there appeared two crafts of emerald emerald and burning blue, which replaced the status of gems. "

Speaking of this, Tang Ying paused slightly, "The development of clothing has always been affected by the development of the entire society. If you explore the changes, you can also get some interesting things. If anyone is interested in this aspect, you can also do it yourself Research."

Many people may have heard of the craft of "Diancui".

Cui means Cui Yu, the feather of a kingfisher.

The so-called Diancui is to first make different patterns with metal, then paste the bright blue feathers of the kingfisher on the metal base, and finally inlay rhinestones.

The jewelry produced in this way, according to the different parts and techniques, presents different colors such as banana moon, lake color, deep navy blue, etc., coupled with the natural texture of the bird feathers and the illusion of refraction, the whole work is vivid The color change is too beautiful to behold.

However, the authentic Diancui craft uses only ten large strips on each of the two wings and eight tail strips on the tail feathers, so there are only 28 feathers available for a kingfisher.Kingfishers often die soon after their feathers are removed.

Even in ancient times, many emperors repeatedly issued edicts to prohibit the hunting of kingfishers for their feathers. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, kingfishers became a national protected animal. make.

However, the reason why this color was emphasized in ancient times is only because it is unique, it is beyond the reach of artificial dyes, and the emerald feathers will not fade.

Speaking of this, Tang Ying explained, "In ancient times, dyes were very expensive, so rich and noble families were proud of wearing brightly colored clothes, while ordinary people could only wear clothes made of primary-colored fabrics, called 'white body' and 'white clothes'. At the same time These clothes will only be worn once or twice, because there is no good color fixing agent, and the color will fade as long as the clothes are exposed to water. The brighter the color, the more ugly it will be after fading. So you often see it in literary works The master rewards the servants with the clothes he wears."

It is conceivable how precious the unfading Cuiyu will look.

But in fact, as an organic matter, the feathers of kingfishers can only maintain their bright color for only a hundred years. Looking at the unearthed cultural relics, we can see that it is impossible to "never fade".

"Today, the industry is highly developed, and no matter what color can be dyed, the shade is completely in line with the standard. Therefore, in modern times, blue satin or ribbons are usually used instead of emerald feathers to make dot emerald jewelry. "Speaking of this, Tang Ying took out a few pieces of silk and satin that she had already prepared from the side. The color was adjusted completely according to her request. It gradually changed from light to dark, and the color was so bright that it was almost unreal.

The audience present may have heard of Diancui jewelry, but few people know that there is no such emerald, but feathers are used as a foil.Every piece of Diancui jewelry can be said to be based on the life of the kingfisher, which made many people unacceptable, and expressed their opinions on the bullet screen, and even pinched them directly in the end.

Fortunately, following Tang Ying's explanation, they knew that no one used Cuiyu as a raw material now, and there was a better substitute, so their attention slowly turned away.

However, because of this reason, the atmosphere still seemed a bit heavy, and everyone was in no mood to joke around.

Tang Ying's explanation continued, "In addition to looking for a substitute for Cui Yu, there is another handicraft that emerged in place of Dian Cui. It began to develop rapidly in the Qing Dynasty and became popular in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and that is burning blue."

You may find the name Burning Blue a little strange, but if it is called "enamel" or "cloisonne", many people will suddenly realize it.In fact, before the 90s, there was another craft familiar to the Chinese public, which was related to burning blue, and that was "enamel".

Paint a layer of paint on the outside of the metal, then put it into the fire and burn it. After the paint melts, it is cooled and solidified. If it is like porcelain, it is called enamel. If it is colored glaze, it is cloisonné, and enamel is like glass.

Because this kind of paint was introduced into China from places called Fufu and Frangji in ancient times, it turned into "blue" after the appearance of cloisonne, and finally evolved into enamel in the Qing Dynasty.At first, enamel was also used by the imperial court in the Qing Dynasty, and then the folks began to fire it.

"As for the filigree inlay, it can be painted with paint and fired into enamel, or it can be inlaid with gemstones. Our ruyi-shaped hairpin uses the Diancui technique." The materials were ready, and Tang Ying sat down at the table again , "In order to fully display the emerald color, most of the inlays are cut crystals, but we are sponsored by Dafu, and the hairpin shape is not big, so diamonds are used."

——Dafu!

——You are rich or you are rich [doge]

——Suddenly remembered a saying: There are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames [laughing and crying

——Poverty limits my imagination_(:з」∠)_

——I often feel out of place with you because of poverty.jpg

Tang Ying cut the silk and satin into strips according to the shape of the jewelry, and then carefully pasted them on the filigree base with pliers, and finally inlaid the diamonds.This process is actually not complicated, what is needed is patience. Fortunately, Tang Ying's hands and heart are steady enough, and he completed the work perfectly again, saving all the obsessive-compulsive patients in front of the screen.

"Then now, we're going to try what this hairpin looks like in use." Tang Ying put away the tools, picked up the hairpin and checked it in his hand to make sure there was no problem before saying.

Shen Zhiqi walked over obediently.

Tang Ying walked behind her, untied her hair, and tied it up again with a hairpin.

The audience in front of the screen revealed a bit of vicissitudes of life in their numbness.

——I knew it was Dafu again...

— Let go of that hairpin and let me come!

——Dafu, a large-scale prop dedicated to the live broadcast room of Mr. Xiao Tiangong, which is specially used to display various works.

——What the hell is the prop, at least it’s a model!

— Jealousy makes me ashamed.

——Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

—…Who coiled up your long hair, and who made your wedding dress?

Not to mention, the ancient costume that Shen Zhiqi specially put on today was indeed made by Tang Ying.
