A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Seeing the eagerness of his question, Liu Yifei became even more confused.

How could he, a department director, be so interested in this tip?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Director Zhu couldn't help asking again: "Did you buy this? Where did you buy it?"

Hearing his eager inquiry, Mayor Qu from behind stepped up and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Old Zhu?"

Director Zhu heard the words, turned around and handed the kit to him excitedly: "Yunjin! This is Yunjin!"

"What?"

Mayor Qu was confused: "What Yunjin?"

"Jinling Yunjin! Every inch of brocade is precious!"

Director Zhu explained excitedly: "This is Jinling Yunjin!"

Hearing what he said, Mayor Qu understood a little bit, this kit seems to be a great thing.

Director Zhu looked at the brocade bag in his hand, and couldn't help admiring: "The weaving is fine, the brocade patterns are gorgeous, the style is elegant, and it's as beautiful as clouds. That's right, this is Jinling Yunjin!"

"Jinling Yunjin?"

Mayor Qu had a thought: "Is it a specialty of Jinling?"

"Previously."

Director Zhu's excitement eased, and he explained: "Brocade itself is the most technical fabric among ancient silk fabrics, but Jinling Yunjin is a top-level brocade developed from the inheritance of the excellent brocade of previous dynasties. It is known as the crown of brocade. The highest achievement of tapestry craftsmanship.

In ancient times, there were four famous brocades, and Jinling Yunjin was the first among them. From Yuan to Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yunjin was a tribute for the royal family.

But it is a pity that among the four famous brocades, Shu brocade, Song brocade and Zhuang brocade have all been handed down, but the weaving technology of Yun brocade has been lost. "

Speaking of this, he became excited again: "But I didn't expect that I saw Yunjin again!"

Hearing his words, Mayor Qu finally understood why he was so excited.

Director Zhu himself is from Jinling. In the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, he is responsible for art creation and production and the work of Suzhou Art Fund. Suzhou Drama and Literature Creation Institute, Suzhou Calligraphy Court, Suzhou Art Fund Management Center and other units and departments.

Moreover, he himself graduated from the history of Jinling University, and has a lot of research on history and culture.

He said that the kit was Yunjin, so it should be fine.

But he said that the brocade was lost, so where did the brocade come from?

Thinking of this, Mayor Qu also looked at Liu Yifei curiously.

Hearing Director Zhu's explanation, Liu Yifei was also a little confused.

She never expected that a tips bag that Li Yi casually gave her would have such a big background.

Yun brocade? Lost?

Isn't this just a tip?

"Little girl, where did you get this tip?"

Director Zhu suppressed his excitement and asked Liu Yifei.

When Liu Yifei saw this, she lowered her head and looked at the kit, feeling a little hesitant.

It was a little hard for her to say it in front of so many people.

Seeing this, Li Yi stepped forward directly, smiled at Director Zhu and said, "Director Zhu, I made this kit from my previous practice. She looked good, so I gave it to her."

"ah?"

Director Zhu was stunned when he heard what he said.

After being stunned for two seconds, he asked in disbelief: "You said you made this kit?"

"right."

Li Yi nodded.

Director Zhu didn't believe it when he saw this, and asked: "What about this brocade?"

Li Yi admitted frankly: "I knitted it too."

"Did you knit it?"

Director Zhu was even more surprised: "You know how to weave brocade? How is that possible? The weaving technology of brocade has been lost!"

Li Yi spread his hands, smiled slightly, and did not explain.

Director Zhu looked at the tips bag in his hand and then at Li Yi, feeling a little hard to accept it for a moment.

When he was in school, he heard the professor in the department talk about the lost brocade weaving technology.

Because of the war, Yun brocade weaving technology was lost. Countless Yun brocade fabrics in the palace were snatched away by the Japanese and displayed in Japanese museums.

As a native of Jinling, if you want to see the Jinling Brocade, you have to fly thousands of miles to buy tickets from the Japanese to see it. Every time I mention it, the old professor feels very sad.

In class, he saw a lot of video materials brought back by old professors.

The exquisiteness and magnificence of brocade left a deep impression on him. After he joined the work, every time he listened to the report of the Academy of Culture and Art, he would think of Jinling brocade submerged in the long river of history, and understood why the old professor So sad.

The history of Yunjin can even be traced back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This top-level art treasure is an art treasure handed down by countless ancestors, but it was destroyed by the enemy.

This means that the wisdom of our ancestors that has been passed down for thousands of years has been reduced to ashes, and this should have been the cultural wealth of all Jinling people.

Since starting work, he has also taken advantage of the opportunity of communication to visit the Japanese many times.

Looking at the treasures of brocade displayed in the museum, he felt his heart bleed.

It was precisely because of this that he was so excited when he saw the brocade products in places other than the Neon Country.

This means that there may still be brocade among the people!

Jinling Yunjin has not disappeared yet!

But Li Yi's answer shattered his guess. Li Yi actually made this brocade kit! And he spun the cloth himself!

But how did Li Yi know the weaving process of brocade?

Looking at the kit, Director Zhu raised his head and stared at Li Yi and asked, "Are you sure you wove this brocade?"

"right."

Li Yi nodded calmly.

"Young man, you have to be responsible when you brag."

Director Zhu reminded him: “Even in ancient times, only specialized weavers could weave brocade, and the weaving skills were passed down from women to men.

The tapestry used in such a large kit needs at least a thousand silk threads, and it needs to be woven through specific steps. The difficulty is no less than that of programming a computer. If no one teaches, it is impossible to weave it out of thin air. Are you sure you knitted this? "

"To be precise, 1,400 of them, both vertically and horizontally."

Li Yi smiled and said: "I just wove this small piece for practice. If we weave it according to the conventional size of two feet and two inches, the silk used will start at 14,000 pieces. The difficulty of this piece of brocade has already been considered." It’s low.”

Director Zhu hesitated after hearing his words.

According to ancient standards, the width of a piece of cloth is usually two feet and two inches, and the length is four feet.

Li Yi's ability to name the dimensions of two feet and two inches shows that he does not know anything about ancient textiles.

After thinking for a while, Director Zhu asked: "Why do I think this brocade noodles look more like Kujin noodles?"

After hearing his question, Li Yi knew that he was lying to him.

"Isn't Yun Jin the same as Ku Jin?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Before Daoguang, when the brocades produced in Jinling were sent to the royal family, they were collectively called Ku brocade, Ku satin and Zhuanghua.

In his later years, the Yun Brocade Weaving Institute in Jinling began to sell brocade to outsiders, and the name Yun Brocade appeared. In the past, the brocade was exclusive to the royal family. "

After hearing his explanation, Director Zhu finally confirmed that he must know something about Yun Jin.

"How did you knit it?"

Director Zhu looked at him excitedly and asked: "Can you weave the dragon pattern? Can you demonstrate it?"
