if relics could talk

Tao Le almost stayed up all night the night before, overturning several drafts, pulling out the script, and bringing the script to Yu Yu's shop early in the morning.

The decoration here is almost done, Yu Yu got an embroidery stand on the second floor, Tao Le arrived early enough, but she was already embroidering.

"You're here." Yu Yu was not polite to Tao Le, and didn't get up when she saw her coming. The embroiderer pinched the embroidery needle in his hand, so he didn't have to get up easily, "Come and see, my new design."

Last night before Tao Le wrote the script, he first communicated with Yu Yu about his general ideas, and also told her that the protagonist of this video shoot was a rhinoceros lacquer box from the Ming Dynasty, so Yu Yu prepared the costume for her. It is the Hanfu made in the Ming Dynasty, and its shape is completely made according to the unearthed cultural relics.

Compared with the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, the proportion of clothes and skirts in the Ming Dynasty was obviously reversed. The tops were short and the bottoms were long, and the tops were gradually lengthened, and the length of the exposed skirts was shortened.

The collar has also changed from the opposite collar in the Song Dynasty to the round collar.

Women's jackets in the Ming Dynasty had three collars and narrow sleeves. They were more than three feet long, and the skirts were two or three inches exposed.

The shape is based on unearthed cultural relics for reference, and the only things that can be designed are the color matching and the patterns on the clothes.

Yu Yu is currently embroidering the pattern on the dress by himself.

She had already drawn the base pattern in advance, and when Tao Le took a closer look, she could see that it was a painting of peach blossoms, female dills and the moon.

After the Huachao Festival, it is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.When the peach blossoms bloom, the spring water surges, and the white stone in the river has been submerged.The vine branch of female dill swayed, making the moon in the blue sky drunk.

"Peach blossoms are born in spring, and white stones come and go today. Shake the female dill branches, and half shake the blue sky and moon." Tao Le couldn't help but groaned, "It's really suitable for the occasion."

Yu Yu said with a smile: "If the pattern of mending clothes is simpler, then a little more thought will be spent on the horse-faced skirt."

The top-heavy design is avoided, and the round neck of the upper body is red in color matching, and the lower body is a blue horse-face skirt with makeup, which suits Tao Le's complexion.

"It's so pretty." Tao Le took a deep breath, not daring to touch it.

Yu Yu put down the embroidery needle, stood up and took Tao Le's measurement, and asked her, "When do you plan to start recording?"

"The script is finished now. I stayed up all night to write it, but I still have to change it," Tao Le said, "Looking at the progress of your garment making, I hope it will come out this month. Editing... I can't guarantee how long the video will be recorded or how many times it will be recorded."

Such a big proposition must not be casual, but must be taken seriously.

Yu Yu jotted down a few notes in his notebook, then nodded and said, "Then I'll try to make the clothes in the middle of the month and leave you some time to record."

Tao Le was so happy that he bent over and hugged Yu Yu: "I love you!"

In order not to delay Yu Yu's embroidery time, Tao Le left and found a coffee shop to revise the script.

The protagonist of the video Tao Le selected this time is a rhinoceros leather lacquer box with a round lid. She checked a lot of information for this, but fortunately, the most important thing in Lao Tao's study is the information book.

In the north, rhinoceros lacquer is called tiger lacquer, in the south it is called pineapple lacquer, and some people call it lacquer.

Tao Zongyi of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty quoted Zhao Lin’s Yinhualu of the Tang Dynasty in his "Stop Genglu", which mentioned that "Xipi painted utensils are called Xipi. Western horses, from black to red, from red to yellow, change from time to time, and the five colors overlap. The stirrup has a concave place when rubbed against it, and it can be written, so it is imitated by a painted utensil."

Painted ware is lacquerware. According to the understanding of people in the Tang Dynasty, the position where the saddle and stirrup are next to each other is constantly rubbed and the place that is sunken first reveals layers of color. The lacquer craftsman uses this naturally formed pattern. Fake rhinoceros paint.

When Tao Le found out here, he also went to ask Tao Ping for advice. He and the lacquerware group have cooperated to restore many cultural relics.

Tao Ping told her at that time: "Your Uncle Zhang said that there is actually another way of saying that there was a literati named Du Mu in the Ming Dynasty. He mentioned it in "Listening to the Rain". Vi, was inspired by the skin of the navel of the rhinoceros."

Tao Le only memorized it at the time, and she didn't have time to check the information. Now that she has time, she simply opened the webpage and looked it up online.

As a result, there are no close-up pictures of rhinos on the Internet with belly buttons.

After thinking about it, she still had to go to the zoo.

As a result, Tao Le had just put the computer and materials into his bag when he received a call from Qin Yi.

"I'm almost done with the procedures here, is it convenient to pick you up now?"

"But I made an appointment last night for the afternoon ticket to the museum," Tao Le thought for a while, "I plan to go to the zoo, are you interested?"

The most important thing for Qin Yi now is to fill in the gaps in the knowledge of traditional culture as soon as possible. He had no idea at first, but now that Tao Le is willing to help him, of course he fully cooperates.

It's just that he didn't figure out what Tao Le wanted to do when he came to the zoo until he got to the gate of the zoo.

"I just want to observe the navel of the rhinoceros," Tao Le said with some embarrassment, "I checked some information about rhinoceros lacquer, and I want to come here to check whether the navel of the rhinoceros is the same as that recorded in ancient books."

It actually has something to do with cultural relics.

Qin Yi still had a DSLR hanging around his neck. He paid great attention to the protection of the camera. Even though it was hanging around his neck, he still held it with both hands, as if he was worried that something might happen. The rope broke and his big baby fell. .

"No problem," he said to Tao Le, "If the distance is far away, I can help you take pictures. As long as the angle is right, I can guarantee the clarity."

Tao Le didn't expect this at first, but at this moment, he was suddenly lucky to have Qin Yi called together.

The two of them walked to the zoo together, and Tao Le found that Qin Yi was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, so he asked, "You have the same style and color of clothes, did you buy several sets?"

He actually nodded his head: "This is more convenient."

Tao Le doesn't come to the zoo very often, and has been looking for index signs, but Qin Yi took the initiative to lead the way: "Go this way."

"Why do you seem to come here often?" Tao Le felt curious, "you are very familiar with this place."

"I haven't been here, but you just checked the route in advance when you said you would come over on the phone."

After Qin Yi finished answering, he asked her again: "Why did you suddenly start researching rhinoceros lacquer?"

Tao Le answered him with bright eyes: "Because it is the protagonist in my video!"
