William Chao, the master of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, spent most of his life to inherit the "armor culture" just to restore the unpopular armor. He believes that it takes a lot of time and energy to repair it because many details of repairing armor are actually difficult to find in many ancient books. On the other hand, even with the improvement of technology, it is still difficult to restore ancient armor.
For this master of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, why not put more time and energy into modern arts and crafts, but spend a lot of time doing such an unpopular work of repairing armor? Is this craftsman spirit worth imitating by young people today? In fact, everyone has their own opinions on this issue. The key is what he really wants to do. If he really loves, then all the efforts are worth it.
Today, the curator will talk to you about the craftsman spirit. You know, no matter ancient or modern, there is a conscientious craftsman behind a good work of art.
1. A representative of a famous craftsman An old man lives in an obscure gray building in the suburb of Tokyo, Japan. His hair and beard are white, he wears big black-rimmed glasses and beige suspenders. In children's eyes, he is the grandfather who drew my totoro, the little witch Kiki, Spirited Away and the goldfish Giboni. In the eyes of environmentalists, he is firmly anti-nuclear; In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a rare master of animation. His name is Miyazaki Hayao! In a sense, his animation has become a cultural card that Japanese people are proud of.
Miyazaki Hayao is regarded as a craftsman who will never disappear in the animation field. His animation is like the Garden of Eden in people's minds, so that every child can experience the colorful world and every adult can see the gentleness of the world. The animation in his works is impeccable, the delicate details are amazing, and the color matching makes people stretch physically and mentally. Finally, a pleasing comic world was presented to the audience.
I don't know which of Miyazaki Hayao's works you like best, but I'm sure you must be impressed by Spirited Away's animation. Colorful scenes and absurd and instructive stories have become masterpieces in our minds! The creation of this film is really full of twists and turns. You know, in Spirited Away's animation, all the pictures are artificially colored, and the patterns are all watercolor paintings. Sometimes Spirited Away drew 1 12000 drawings, totaling 125 minutes, with an average of 15 drawings per second. All the creative work was completed within five months until half a month before the release!
Miyazaki Hayao insisted on painting with paper and strokes for a long time, and only used computer animation to make special effects. However, these hand-drawn paintings have defeated Hollywood animation created by science and technology again and again, creating one commercial miracle after another.
His craftsmanship is also reflected in his persistence for decades. For decades, he has maintained his love and concentration on animation, and perfectly explained what is "artisan spirit". He patiently carved bricks, trees and leaves just to create beautiful products. He created 46 cartoons with 30 years of ingenuity, and his life was full of childlike innocence. He is the classical craftsman who paints under the desk lamp, but he still enjoys it from youth to white hair and beard. The joy of his life comes from the never-ending brush. He pays more attention to the nature of video than the benefits of commercialization. This serious indifference to fame and fortune has made him successful again and again.
2. What is the so-called craftsman spirit? Han Feizi-Ding Fa said: "A skillful craftsman is also skillful ..." In the past, craftsmen referred to skilled craftsmen, and exquisite craftsmanship was one of the basic characteristics of craftsmen. However, in today's society, all walks of life are interspersed with artists. Craftsman's spirit needs a rigorous, meticulous, dedicated and responsible working attitude, a carefully crafted and refined working concept, and a sense of identity and responsibility for the profession.
Therefore, the so-called craftsman spirit is actually the pursuit of the ultimate Japanese working method. In our life, there are also many people full of craftsman spirit, and some people will rework for a small detail; Some people make a mistake in order to draw a good picture, so they wipe it off and start over; In order to finish an article, some people revise it repeatedly, consider every word, and even don't miss a punctuation mark. Some people may think this is more like being picky, but they are all trying to improve their work. Craftsman spirit is the unremitting pursuit of perfection.
3. Craft is a state of mind. Craftsmanship is also a state of mind. In today's impetuous society, it is difficult to calm down and do one thing patiently. However, in order to do a good job, mentality is really important. Craftsmanship requires a responsible and pragmatic working attitude.
Many people will shrink back when they hear the craftsman spirit, and feel that this concept is grand and far away from themselves. However, the craftsman spirit is all around us. For example, make a report carefully, investigate every detail of the work carefully, debug every equipment carefully, install every component carefully, do every detail of the work carefully, pursue a perfect heart, and strive to complete every job with a responsible, pragmatic, outstanding and innovative attitude, with a caring and precise attitude. This is our craftsman spirit.
Without taking small steps, thousands of miles away; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. When each of us has a craftsman spirit and focuses on our own career, the Chinese dream will get closer and closer, and our dreams will be easier to realize. I hope that the spirit of artisans can exist imperceptibly in our work, study and life, so that the spirit of artisans can become a new coordinate for us to forge ahead and lead us forward bit by bit.
