[China paint information] as China's "Cultural Heritage Day" is coming, Relevant leaders of the Organizing Committee of the seventh China XuXiake open Tourism Festival revealed yesterday that Ninghai County government is organizing relevant departments to actively rescue the traditional treasure of mud gold paint, and will declare Ninghai mud gold paint technology to be included in the national intangible cultural heritage list (traditional handicraft technology) in the second half of this year

clay gold color paint is one of the representative traditional crafts of Ningbo "three gold and one inlay" (Zhujin lacquer wood carving, clay gold color paint, gold and silver color embroidery and bone wood inlay). It is a lacquer craft combining clay gold and color paint. It is mostly used in bamboo, wood and leather products, ranging from sleeping beds, cabinets and other furniture in people's homes to daily necessities such as buckets and fruit boxes. It is widely used and has a wide variety

the history of Ningbo mud gold paint can be traced back to the Hemudu period 7000 years ago, reaching its peak during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most of the clay gold lacquer utensils preserved in Ningbo during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China are as bright as new, and their craftsmanship has reached the level of perfection. At the first national arts and crafts exhibition in 1953, the double dragon pails, rice bowls, powder buckets and other works in Ningbo mud gold colored paint were admired by experts; After the founding of the people's Republic of China, the clay gold painted utensils in Ningbo have also won reputation in domestic and foreign handicraft exhibitions for many times, and have been exported to the United States, Singapore and other places. Since the sixties and seventies of the last century, the clay gold color paint process has gradually disappeared. At present, only Ninghai County also inherits this traditional handicraft

clay gold paint takes Chinese lacquer and gold foil as the main raw materials, and has a unique and complex process flow. Huang Cailiang, the only representative inheritor and senior craft artist of Zhejiang Province, told in his workshop in Ninghai that the clay gold color paint was all hand-taught by teachers and apprentices. It was made by pure manual skills. The process was exquisite and exquisite. There were more than 20 processes, such as Cooper barrel, ash batch, primer, drawing, paint mud tamping, plastic stacking, gold pasting, paint covering, painting, laying mica mother of pearl, dividing heaven and earth colors, trimming edges, and Zhu digging. It took about 3 months for the utensils to be finished. Among them, pile plastic (pile mud) is the most distinctive handicraft of mud gold color paint, and it is also the biggest difference from other lacquerware, which is unique to Ningbo. Specifically, the so-called heap molding refers to the artist ramming raw lacquer, tile ash or oyster ash into lacquer mud in a certain proportion, repeatedly pushing and kneading, and then stacking landscapes, flowers and birds, figures, pavilions and other decorations on the embryo of bamboo and wood, and finally pasting gold and color on the decorations, so that the appearance of the artifacts is magnificent and extremely beautiful. The fruit barrels and powder barrels now displayed in Zhejiang museum are the representative works of clay gold colored paint made by the ancients of Ninghai. High dependence on imports

because the clay gold is mixed evenly in the liquid phase and reacts, the appearance of the painted utensils has the characteristics of resplendence and colorful, which adds a warm, festive and auspicious atmosphere to the host family. Moreover, the utensils are clearly layered and have a strong sense of three-dimensional. There are pavilions, towers, auspicious patterns, opera characters and other themes, plus they are not easy to wear and durable, so they were very popular in the rural areas of Ningbo in the old times. According to the textual research, in Ninghai, in ancient times, the rich villagers often chose mud gold painted furniture and supplies when men and women married, which became a custom over time: before the man's parents married their daughter-in-law, they must make a mud gold painted wooden wedding bed for their son; The woman's home must buy festive clay gold painted red furniture, such as boxes, baskets, hat buckets, etc. there is a big gap from self-control. Ninghai Shili red makeup Museum has a large number of dragon and Phoenix red board boxes, big sleeping beds and other folk clay gold painted furniture, which is the best evidence

the art of clay gold colored lacquer inherited by oral and hand teaching is currently represented in Ninghai by the inheritors of representative sects, Huang Cailiang, and so on, who are still teaching apprentices to make
