China News Service, Chengdu, June 3 (Li Li, Han Jinyu) Recently, in a quaint studio in Sandaoyan Town, Pidu District, Chengdu, national style craftsman Yan Hong and other members of her studio are in full swing. Hurry up to make handmade dragon boat works specially designed for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Small and delicate handmade dragon boats fill the studio, all made from discarded cans and thermoplastic materials.

  Previously, a series of national style handicraft works of Yan Hong were praised by netizens on the Internet.

She used 68 cans to make a set of exquisite Miao jewelry in more than 2 months; she used 140 cans to make 2,600 scales to create ice and snow armor...

  "Chinese traditional culture has a profound background, and I am very honored to be able to win everyone's love with my national style works. At the same time, I also realize that I have a responsibility to spread more traditional culture." Yan Hong said that it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and he was born. The idea of ​​making a handmade dragon boat out of discarded cans was quickly approved by the rest of the studio.

  "If it's a bit monotonous just to make a decoration, we thought of making this dragon boat into an incense burner, which has more practical value." Yan Hong said, because there is only about a week of production time, the whole studio often rushes to work overnight and is busy until the early morning. .

"I only fell asleep at two in the morning today. I was very tired, but looking at the work that was about to be completed, I was very motivated." When he mentioned his work, Yan Hong instantly brushed off his tired face, and the whole person was instantly full of energy.

  Making dragon boats by hand is very complicated and requires tedious processes, and it is even more difficult to make them with discarded cans.

Yan Hong said that everyone can look forward to this work, hoping to make another "explosive style" after the ice and snow armor and various exquisite headwear.

  While busy with work, many of Yanhong's handmade headwear works are being displayed at Sandaoyan Water Town Square.

"I really didn't expect that these headgears are made of waste materials. They are so beautiful. They are both environmentally friendly and beautiful." The citizens who visited expressed emotion while admiring.

  At the exhibition site, many parents brought their children to visit. When the children expressed curiosity about the works and raised questions, Yan Hong patiently answered them one by one.

"It's a good thing for children to be curious about works. I hope to nurture their curiosity, improve their creativity, and let them know Chinese traditional culture and the roots of our culture." (End)
