Iron Pen Fortune Telling _ Iron Pen Fortune Telling Cheats

A board, an iron pen,

When the pen tip falls, smoke rises,

The outline of fine paintings began to appear.

It's not magic,

But an ancient handicraft skill-pyrography.

An ancient skill that has been restored.

Pyrography is also called pyrography, bronzing and fire painting, and there is a more vivid ancient name-"fire needle embroidery". According to the principle of carbonization, it bakes and paints on bamboo, silk, silk cloth and other materials by controlling the temperature of the stylus without adding any pigment and taking baking as the main color set as the supplement.

The embryonic form of the art form "painting with fire" appeared as early as the slave society in China. According to records, in Shang dynasty, our ancestors heated metal blanks on fire, then made ironing tools of various shapes, and burned words and pictures on utensils. However, when the "pyrography" technology really originated, there is no historical data to test, but there are some records in folklore: "pyrography" originated in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that the popularity of the first batch of pyrography benefited from the invention of papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because before paper appeared, folk artists only created pyrography on silk, wood and other materials. These raw materials are expensive, which makes it difficult for pyrography to truly become "people's art". It was not until Cai Lun invented papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty that this revolutionary invention made a subversive change in the art of calligraphy and painting. Pyrography on paper became popular among people.

Later, because of years of famine and war, pyrography was once lost. It was not until the third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1877) that Zhao Xing, a good painter in Nanyang, Henan Province, discovered it again and was handed down from generation to generation by folk artists. It is worth mentioning that the popularity of pyrography in Qing Dynasty was related to the emperor's love of keeping slugs. Especially the two emperors of Kanggan, who not only wrote poems for the State of Guo, but also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to specialize in raising the State of Guo. The most popular container in the state of Guo is the gourd jar branded with pictures. Such a popular trend, the children of the Eight Banners, dignitaries all over the country have followed suit, and for a time relying on the pyrography of gourd cans began to become popular again.

The art of iron pen in the collision between wood and fire

Pyrography, an art form, requires extremely high technology. We should not only grasp the temperature, but also control the strength of writing, and pay attention to "write first, then write". Hony Master Li Shutong once described the pyrography process in detail in the book:

"Fire pyrography, its method is the oldest. Methods: Shake hands with the clay ball with a thin iron needle to prevent heat transfer. Its needle is red in the furnace, and when it is painted on bamboo or stone, the scorch marks are colorful and clearly visible. Alcohol lamp used in Japan. The steel needle is connected to the rubber tube, which is connected to the ball. Burn the needle red and squeeze the ball out of the air at the same time. After the rubber tube and rubber ball are heated, the heat transfer of the pen does not retreat. Painting with strokes can be used for a long time without changing it again and again. Today, we used more than ten iron needles with bamboo sticks and wooden handles, which were burned in the furnace and replaced each other. It is also a simple method of igniting fire. "

And the tools used for pyrography are different. In ancient times, folk pyrography artists created on wood, bamboo and other materials in the most primitive way: holding a special iron string and heating it on an oil lamp or stove. Later, kerosene lamps appeared, and pyrography artists could lie on their sides in bed, making pyrography lines more flexible.

After 1950s, soldering iron became the main tool for pyrography. Compared with iron skewers, soldering irons can draw large areas and rough and tough lines. With the invention and wide use of electric soldering iron, pyrography art has entered a new stage of development. By keeping the temperature of the welding head constant, the pyrography picture is more beautiful and changeable.

Various schools of non-legacy handicrafts

Historically, pyrography techniques have formed schools of pyrography such as Yanshan, Nanyang, Jinling and Shandong. Nanyang, Henan Province is the oldest place to inherit pyrography skills. This genre of pyrography has many themes, including figures, Bo Gu, flowers and birds and even landscapes. It uses hardcore ghostwriting and draws unique wonders with simple and elegant branding. In recent years, Nanyang pyrography takes holly as the main material and pyrography chopsticks as the main output form, and its skills are constantly changing.

Jiangnan area is also one of the main cradles of pyrography. According to the records of the local government, pyrography technology appeared in Suzhou and Hangzhou as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with a history of 1000 years. Many famous pyrography artists have appeared in this land, such as Zhang Youqin, Qian, Pan Sansi and so on. Liu Jintang is skilled, and his pyrography works are mainly fan bones and combs. He is good at ironing flowers, birds and ladies. Qian is good at calligraphy and painting, and pyrography works are mainly fan bones and pen containers, and he is good at ironing high-stone figures. Famous pyrography artists in Jiangnan combine pyrography, the art of fire and wood, with the strong bookish spirit of Jiangnan literati. They deeply burned countless Jiangnan feelings on exquisite objects, such as sandalwood ancient fans and pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
