Life cannot be eternal, but wisdom can.

Today, Xiaochan will take you to the studio of Shiwan pottery master Feng Weimin to see how the "Rise of the Overlord", a limited edition intangible cultural heritage collection exclusive to Glory History, was born.
Take a look at how the non -heritage work "Overlord Rise", inspired by the story of the protagonist's war, was born ~
◆◆◆
Feng Weimin is a native of Shiwan, Foshan. He is a master of Chinese ceramic art and a very representative new generation of ceramic artist in Shiwan. He has been creating ceramic art for more than 30 years. His works have repeatedly won domestic and foreign art awards, are famous at home and abroad, and have high collection value. Most of his works are mainly about characters, integrating modern art and traditional art, and have a very distinctive personal style.
Growing up, he has always been influenced by the works of Shiwan pottery masters. This is also the inheritance path of Shiwan pottery art for thousands of years.
As Feng Weimin said, "Entering the world of Shiwan ceramics can actually be said to be our luck. For me, growing up in Shiwan is a kind of glory."
Shiwan pottery has a history of more than 4,000 years. It not only has profound historical origins, but also formed its own unique local characteristics through so many years of inheritance and development.
The materials, glaze colors, shapes and designs of Shiwan pottery are all unique and representative. Even in the national ceramics industry, it is irreplaceable. It mainly features ceramic sculptures of figures, with vivid shapes as its highlight, and it also has obvious regional and local characteristics.
Shiwan pottery has the characteristics of strong moldability and rich techniques, which is suitable for the development of various creative themes. For example, adding some fashion elements, adding trendy touches, and modern aesthetics can create new avenues and new methods. Perhaps, traditional intangible cultural heritage skills have gained new vitality through such continuous inheritance.
Feng Weimin said, "I think in our generation, we should make some innovations based on our predecessors. I hope there is a way It gives Shiwan ceramics a new style.”
As many people often say, innovation is the best inheritance.
In the past, Shiwan Ceramics often used historical figures and allusions as sources of creation, but it can be said that it is the first time to use the stories of the protagonists in the game "Lords of Troubled Times" as a source of inspiration. Second-rate.
The protagonists use their wisdom to change the situation of the battle and create history in the game world. This spirit allowed the master to finally determine the theme of "The Rise of the Overlord" and use the familiar character of Xiang Yu in the unique narrative of Shiwan Ceramics method for presentation.
It is not easy to combine modern aesthetics with the freehand and casual artistic style of traditional pottery.
The exclusive intangible cultural heritage collection produced by the King of Troubled Times is also a challenge for the master.
The first is that I have never tried to make this type. The second traditional ceramic art emphasizes freehand brushwork, or a sense of randomness. But the story of the King in Troubled Times must firstly pay attention to the character's courage, secondly, to pay attention to his elegance, and thirdly, to pay attention to his shape.
Starting from the initial creation, Master Feng Weimin uses lines to outline the shape of the characters. After finalizing the draft, he then proceeds to the production of clay until it is completed and reaches the ideal shape of Xiang Yu in his mind. image.
Only after the master has achieved the level he wants to achieve, can he start turning over the mold, reprinting, waiting for it to dry, glazing, drying again, putting it in the kiln, and passing through Fired at a high temperature of 1230 degrees. Then check that there is no damage, no color difference, and no defects in the work.
In this way, an excellent Shiwan ceramic work can be achieved.
The birth of each new work of Shiwan pottery art not only reflects the wisdom of the predecessors, but also includes the thinking of the craftsmen on the inheritance of Shiwan pottery art;
"The Rise of the Overlord" is a record of the wisdom of the protagonist, and it is also the wisdom inheritance of traditional culture through the intangible cultural heritage craft joint game;
Perhaps this new form of exploration can exude new charm for traditional intangible cultural heritage crafts and tell Chinese stories well. Xiaochan believes that the wisdom of ancient and modern times will continue to flow and meet each other, endlessly.
