Soldering and blowing tin art Rebirth from the ashes

Focus on the chief technician of Yunnan Province's "Ten Thousand Talents Plan" Li Zisen Welding and blowing skills

Swedish "Gothenburg" shipwrecked 260 years later, the fragrant Chinese tea salvaged from the seabed is incredible to countless people, and I noticed that these "undersea old tea" are encapsulated in tin can . As early as the Shang and Zhou period, China's tin making process was quite mature.

Tin is a kind of meritorious metal. My hometown is Gejiu, Yunnan, so it has established five major brands of "tin culture" that are the world's tin capital, industrial cradle, bronze civilization, creation narrow gauge, and the origin of folk houses.

Tin is a living history and a life-like aesthetic. Since it emerged from the flames of "Records of the Grand Historian", it has been widely intimate with all living beings. These all-inclusive tin ware are derived from the ever-changing tin process and have been continuously resurrected, inherited and innovated after thousands of years. Shifan hand-carved stone molds, hand-made hammer patterns on the surface of the utensils, copper on the tin surface, welding and blowing technology... also makes the "Aru Tin Art Inheritance Technician" become the only real craftsman in the Chinese tin industry who can independently complete all craftsmanship from R&D design to production and production.

He is Li Zisen, the legal representative of old city Shengding Pure Tin Craft Factory , chief technician of Yunnan Province's "Ten Thousand Talents Plan", master of arts and crafts in Yunnan Province, master of metal arts and crafts in Yunnan Province, senior arts and crafts artist , the only consecutive winner of the 2012 and 2013 gold medals in China's arts and crafts "Hundred Flowers Cup".

, especially the welding and blowing process of phoenix nirvana and rebirth of fire, uses the fire of stars to achieve welding, control the heat, breathe, have a mind to communicate, and have life. This kind of practical application in the world is called returning to nature.

skills are perfect and techniques are exquisite. When a unique skill that travels through time and space is radiant because it is integrated into my life, it is even more precious than being collected by the National Museum forever by making the "Ji Xiang Series" tinware by myself.

There is life tinware, warmth, taste, stories, and legends.
