He is born in the 1990s, a non-genetic person with "face man", and a master's degree from Peking University. He was once praised by the chairman of the Olympic Committee.

  "I hope we like traditional crafts ourselves first"

  Remember the handsome guy who kneaded the dough man with IOC President Bach at the Beijing Winter Olympics?

His name is Lang Jiaziyu, and he is the third-generation inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage of Beijing "Mianren Lang".

Lang Jiaziyu told the Yangzi Evening News reporter, "Not only does Chairman Bach like Bingdundunmen, but also many international friends. I hope that we can like it first, instead of waiting for foreigners to like it before we talk about it. "Yangtze Evening News/Ziniu News reporter Jiang Tiansheng

  The Winter Olympics debuted and won unanimous praise

  Lang Jiaziyu's grandfather, Lang Shaoan, was the founder of Beijing's "Mianren Lang". He was a researcher at the Beijing Arts and Crafts Research Institute and won the title of "Old Artist".

It is reported that Lang Shaoan was very famous at that time, and the well-known writer Bing Xin visited him and wrote "The Interview of "Mianren Lang".

Lang Jiaziyu's father, Lang Zhichun, has also made innovations in this field while inheriting and developing the art of dough sculpture.

As early as 1981, he entered the Lama Temple to perform outside sculptures.

  Lang Jiaziyu was born in Beijing in 1995 and holds a master's degree in art theory from the School of Art, Peking University.

Ziyu said that when he was three or four years old, he began to learn the craft of kneading with his father. Good shapes, but complex ones have to be drawn, and then pinched. Simply put, it is to make plans and then move, which is the same as many artistic creations.”

  During the Beijing Winter Olympics, there were a total of 6 intangible cultural heritage booths in the East Exhibition Hall of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and "Mianren Lang" was one of them.

Some time ago, Prince Albert II of Monaco wanted a pair of short videos of "Bingdundun" when he was experiencing the making of dough sculptures at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. It was Ziyu who made Bingdundun for Albert II .

  Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, also has a strong interest in small noodles.

In the exchange with Ziyu, Chairman Bach said, "Generally, the meeting about the Olympic mascots takes a long time, but as soon as Bing Dun Dun brought it in, within two minutes, everyone decided it was it."

  Ziyu recalled that there were quite a few international friends who liked noodle people. She pinched more than a dozen on the spot. Considering the limited time on site, she also brought more than 100 "lady noodle people" to international friends. From the famous Chinese painting "Ladies".

Ziyu said with a smile, now "Mianren Lang" is finally "world famous".

  This "traditional intangible cultural heritage" is not conservative

  Ziyu told reporters that during his studies in the School of Art of Peking University, he learned a lot of knowledge of art theory and humanities, as well as Chinese painting and some other traditional arts, which benefited him a lot. My own creative ideas are very helpful, after all, creation requires a combination of theory and practice.”

  Ziyu laughed and said that the public has a "stereotype" of traditional cultural teachers. One is that the cultural level is not high, and the other is relatively old.

"Sometimes when I go to an event, others will think I'm Ziyu's assistant and ask me where Ziyu is." Ziyu explained that the youngest person who is usually invited to participate in the event is more than 40. The main age is 50-60 years old. "This also reflects a problem that the traditional industry is not enough to attract young people."

  In Ziyu's view, "conservation" and "innovation" in traditional industries should not be opposites. In his view, people in traditional industries should first understand their own industries very well, and then master them proficiently, "including the mastery of materials, including the The aesthetics of past works and the mastery of experience are all very important.” After laying the foundation, you can find ways to relate to the times. Ziyu said that traditional projects generally have accumulated over several generations and formed their own style, but good works must resonate with people of this era.

The reporter found that as a traditional cultural person, Ziyu's face-figure works have added many popular elements. Ziyu will promote his works on emerging platforms. For example, on the Kuaishou platform, Ziyu has nearly 900,000 fans.

  Ziyu has also participated in some variety shows, such as "The Strongest Brain".

Ziyu said that participating in such variety shows has also accumulated a certain amount of her own. For example, she has experienced firsthand that there are people outside the world, there are days outside the sky, and that she is the champion.

  To make young people feel that intangible cultural heritage is "cool"

  Ziyu introduced that it takes an average of about 3 hours for a complex noodle maker, because noodle is a special material.

  Nowadays, in some scenic spots, there are also craftsmen pushing trolleys to make noodles for sale on the spot. In Ziyu's opinion, the noodles they make in three minutes are no different from the noodles he makes in three hours. There is no high-end or low-end problem, and the fact that noodle people can appear in the form of street stalls also shows that the mass base of this industry is relatively good, and there is nothing bad.”

  When it comes to the future, Ziyu said that he will stick to the promotion and development of traditional crafts. "I hope we can like it first, instead of waiting for foreigners to like it before we like it." Inheritance, it is necessary to integrate traditional culture with the current mainstream culture, and integrate local culture with youth culture, so that young people feel that intangible cultural heritage is a cool thing.
