What good things have Jiangsu brought? Let's go and have a look!

　　 The replica of the dress of the Empress of the Ming Dynasty made its debut in the Expo

Audiences entering the "Jiangsu Pavilion" will be attracted by the huge "naked eye 3D screen". A jasmine flower slowly emerges from the sparkling water. After the "transition", they will come to the crowded ancient street market. The bustling time-honored shops will gather into the golden logo of Jiangsu time-honored brands... The theme of Jiangsu people to people exchange activities is "beautiful rivers like Jiangsu", Jiangsu is connected from end to end. The exhibition area is divided into three sections: "Fingertip Splendid", "Brilliant Craftsmanship" and "Soviet style Life". Under the deployment of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Commerce, 23 time-honored enterprises show more than 120 traditional boutiques and innovative new products.

At the entrance, the Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute displays a beautiful Yunjin Jifu, which shows the elegance of Jinling. This is the "Ming Xiao Duan Empress Jifu", which was reproduced and restored by digital drawing software, and comes from the precious cultural relics - green woven gold makeup flower through sleeve shoulder dragon persimmon base satin stand collar women's jacket and yellow woven gold makeup flower dragon fence silk skirt.

"This is the auspicious clothes of Empress Xiaoduan in the Ming Dynasty. The auspicious clothes are mainly used for sacrificial ceremonies, festivals, birthdays, weddings and other auspicious occasions." Zhou Mengyuan, the brand director of Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute, introduced to the reporter. After three years of polishing, this auspicious dress has been restored from multiple perspectives of pattern, pattern and technology. The whole body is mainly composed of dragon patterns. The two sleeves are covered with dragon ascending patterns, and the chest is woven with two dragons playing with pearls. Even the dark patterns have two different forms of dragons. In addition, there is also the typical pattern of the Ming Dynasty costumes, the persimmon pattern, as the name implies, is the same pattern as the four leaf pedicel on the persimmon, which symbolizes "everything goes well".

"Brocade should not just sleep in the museum. We have tried a lot of innovation, designed brocade brooches, hairpins, change wallets, and mobile phone bags. Now young people are very fond of Chinese traditional culture. These days, they have sold a lot of brocade. When brocade goes into daily life, intangible cultural heritage will be more vitality." Zhou Mengyuan said.

The professional exhibitors from Munich, Germany, who are engaged in precision machinery research and development, said that most German scientific and technological production can only carry out repetitive and regular processes. However, at the Yunjin Research Institute, he saw the wisdom of Chinese civilization and realized the importance of the inclusion of Yunjin in human intangible heritage.

It is worth mentioning that this year, Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute stood out from 1128 Chinese time-honored enterprises and was invited to perform at the Innovation and Development Conference of the Expo.

　　 Intangible Cultural Heritage Pankou Technique Silk brooch "sold out"

"I thought that intangible cultural heritage was out of reach, but I didn't expect that intangible cultural heritage could be such a small and exquisite clasp, which is not only beautiful, but also very practical." Ms. Qin from Beijing fell in love with Suzhou silk clasp brooch at first sight.

Zhang Yin, the brand new media director of Suzhou Xiuniang Silk Co., Ltd., told the reporter that the brooch was made of intangible cultural heritage, with 100% pure silk fabric on the surface and cotton filled inside. The styles of the brooch were rabbit, clover, ginkgo leaf, persimmon, lotus flower, butterfly, etc., which were all hand made by the master. It took 2-3 hours to make one. The brooches are very popular at the Expo, and more than 50 have been sold. One of them, a young Greek man, bought a rose brooch and recommended a butterfly brooch to his friend.

Zhang Yin said that the intangible cultural heritage clasp technique used to be used exclusively for cheongsam. Now, while inheriting the technique, it is also innovative to design clasp brooches, pendants, etc. Such innovations are very popular among young people.

The silk cheongsam hanging pattern on the scene was also so beautiful that it attracted many women to make inquiries. The reporter learned that the average price of customized products is 8800 yuan. At the Expo, 10 women had already made reservations. The master measured their sizes on the spot. To ensure the best effect, the master would first make a sample garment of ordinary fabric and send it to them. After confirmation, the cheongsam would be made, so it would take about a month and a half to get it.

　　 Shizhuzhai Notes 400 years ago "live"

Nanjing Shizhuzhai, which participated in the Expo for the first time, launched the interactive display of "digital handwriting", which became a highlight of the Jiangsu booth. By pointing at the screen and selecting elements with oriental beauty and corresponding verses, you can customize your own notes and print them on the spot.

The Shizhuzhai Notebook, published 400 years ago, influenced prints in East Asia with the world leading technology of "woodblock engraving and arching", and later spread to the West. With the help of entering the exhibition stage, this traditional skill of creating elegant legend shows its charm to the world.

Zhao Shiheng, a young inheritor of intangible cultural heritage from Shizhuzhai Painting Academy, showed the "arch flower technique" on the spot. First, you need to create a painting, and then you need to separate colors. Each color is carved into a piece of wood and painted. The last step is printing. He picked up a board with a bamboo pattern, pressed it onto the paper, and then printed the bamboo. Then he "overprinted" the other two colors of the board. During the operation, attention should be paid not to misplace, so as to achieve accurate three color printing.

Zhao Shiheng said that the "arch flower technique" was mainly used to write letters in the Ming Dynasty, but because there are fewer people writing letters now, we use it to create prints after passing on the technique, cooperate with some artists, ask them to draw and write, and then sell prints.

Jiangsu Pavilion is full of old brands and new consumption trends. The reporter saw that Zigang Jewelry brought the original product "Eleven Roses" diamond, which won 15 international awards, and Guochaofeng Jewelry attracted the audience to stop and take photos. Hengshun Vinegar Industry has brought more than 100 cultural and creative ice creams this time, including three flavors of "soy cheese", "sweet vinegar" and "yellow rice wine", each of which costs 18 yuan. Unfortunately, during the interview, the reporter was told that it was "sold out", so the reporter was unable to taste it.
