"It's strange that single selling in the street. Buy it all, sell it if it doesn't break. " Do you know the answer to this riddle? By the way, it's sugar man.
"Look at this dragon. It is solid and can be put. Have a strong sense of three-dimensional sense and appreciation. This looks better. " Walking into the sugar man art exhibition hall in Xibozhuang Village, Suning County, Yang, the third generation descendant of the famous sugar man artist Yang, demonstrated and explained. Lifelike imperial envoys, lifelike the Monkey King, little dragons, crowing cocks ... These old artists' hands quickly jumped to "sugar". "Sugar man has gone through several processes, ..."
Xibozhuang Village near the exit of Daguang Expressway is a famous "sugar village" with a history of 100 years. In the past, sugar blowers were used to support families. In recent years, Suning, as the hometown of fur, has become the main business. Sugar blowers are not only hard to learn, but also have low income. Most young people are not interested. In the words of the villagers, "it is better to keep two foxes than to blow sugar for a year."
Ren Shujun, Secretary of the Party Branch of Xibozhuang Village: This is a craft left by our ancestors. This is not something that anyone can just blow and pinch. So I don't think we can lose what we left behind from our old life. Keep it.
20 1 1 At the end of the year, Xibozhuang established a 54-person Sugar Man Art Troupe, headed by Yang, the third generation descendant of the famous Sugar Man artist Yang. In the process of transformation and upgrading of rural landscape, the art exhibition hall of Tangren was built in the village, and the history of Tangren was painted on the wall of the village. Suning sugar blower has also been rated as Cangzhou intangible cultural heritage and is applying for provincial intangible cultural heritage.
Ren Shujun, secretary of the village branch: the United States, Germany, France, Japan ... have all been there, and have been to more than a dozen countries.
Nevertheless, Yang, who is in his fifties this year, is still worried. At present, art troupes with more than 50 people are mostly handed down by three or four generations. The age of the fifth generation is between 30 and 50, with only a dozen people. "It turns out that every family in this village has a lot of sugar blowers. There are dozens of people at our age, so we won't do it. There is no one below us. "
The Sugar Man Art Troupe conducts technical exchange, appraisal, training, performance and other activities of sugar blowers from time to time. It also makes an art communication plan and conducts free training activities every Saturday and Sunday. As the only inheritor of the sixth generation of Tangren art, Zhao Weiqiang, who is only 12 years old this year, has been studying Tangren art since she was 6 years old. "This is an elder of Xibozhuang Village, passed down from generation to generation. (Hope) better inheritance, so that people all over the world can see the sugar man I blew.
