From the Exploration of Intangible Cultural Heritage Skills to the Inheritance of Craftsmanship:A Record of the Paper-Screening Gilding Technique in Lacquerware
The exploration and organization of intangible cultural heritage projects that are on the verge of being lost and have vague documentary records are highly valued by the industry.However,these crafts often have high barriers to inheritance and great difficulty.The advanced levels of the skills rely entirely on the craftsmen's proficiency,personal comprehension,and the display of inspiration,which can be understood but not explained in words.The more challenging it is to explore and record the processes of such craftsmanship,the more precious and necessary it becomes.The paper-screening gilding technique belongs to this endangered category.It involves lacquer workers using silk balls dipped in gold powder to move paper with notched shapes,utilizing the"screening"and"isolation"techniques to draw lively mountain and stone patterns on the surface of lacquerware,integrating the beauty of lacquerware texture,painting,and craftsmanship into one,which is fine art in lacquer.Detailed docu-mentation and meticulous sorting of its craft process can accumulate valuable data for the restoration and research of lacquerware.Moreover,studying the deep-level skills of this technique from the dimensions of aesthetic characteristics and humanistic proper-ties can reveal the foundations of craftsmanship transmission in a certain sense,providing foundation for the lively transmission and sustainable development of intangible cultural heritage projects.
