The Chou first coexisted and then fought with the earlier Shang Dynasty, living to the west of them in what is now Shensi Province, with a capital originally in Hao (Zongzhou).

In 722 B.C., the Chou dynasty capital moved east to Luoyang (in modern Henan Province). Its empire was a proto-feudal one with at least 20 “feudal” lords [see feudalism article] maintained by an extended family network. By 771 B.C., the power had shifted, and so the earlier period is now referred to as the Western Chou (Hsi Chou) dynasty and the later period, the Eastern Chou (Tung Chou), which is itself divided into a Spring and Autumn period and a Warring States period

Chou Dynasty China Antique Ceramics

Pottery utensils dating from the Chou dynasty, which held sway over the long span of years from 1122-255 B.C., are known, and specimens dating from the latter part of the Shang dynasty have been found. These dynasties are chiefly noted on the artistic side for their bronzes, but pottery was evidently made also on an extensive scale for utilitarian purposes.

The body of the Chou vessels was made of hard grey clay which had no glaze on its surface. The pieces were usually moulded by hand, but specimens are known which exhibit signs of the use of the potter’s wheel.

Generous Lacquer: Homeopathic Change, To Enter The Market

1915, held in San Francisco in the United States opened the Panama Canal, 10000 State Fair, Guizhou and Jiangsu Yangzhou lacquerware lacquerware generous both received silver, and subsequently with Maotai, Yuping Xiao Di and said “Guizhou Sambo,” thus Dafang County, known as the “National Paint the town.” However, the tide of the market economy, the generous lacquer has twists and turns, ups and downs several times, and now we are pleased to see that –

Generosity have had the unique geographical and climatic conditions, soil suitable for cultivation of lacquer, the lacquer produced an excellent texture. Generous “big wooden paint” and “well-being of paint”, “Mao dam paint,” “I paint the city” as the four famous paint. Generous paint laccase content heavy, conjunctiva good film color depth, thick liquid paint, moisture content light, acid, alkali, wear, moisture, high temperature, has always been “side of clear lacquer, such as oil, we see beauty head, Dangqi tiger color, to bring fishing hooks do. ” With such a high-quality lacquer is resources and began casting a generous culture of well-known lacquer ware and lacquer ware. Speaking generous lacquer, right in this trade, who has studied Xianjingmaoju Chang Shi Lu, deputy director backs of their hands.

According to historical records, generous piece of lacquer ware production began in the Ming Dynasty Hongwu years have elapsed since the 600 years of history. Yi Xiang extravagant female politician’s wife so that during the passage of Guizhou Xuan Wei, Chu Yuan-chang tribute to a “party matter”, the there are many lacquer treasures.

In time, dedicated and generous lacquer for “Longevity Palace”, “Yoshimori the public” and so on more than 10 lacquerware workshop. Craft skill of its artists, particularly in modeling, integer techniques for high quality in order to type accurately, and seam close together, is known for meticulous craftsmanship. 1915, held in San Francisco in the United States opened the Panama Canal, 10000 State Fair, Guizhou and Jiangsu Yangzhou lacquerware lacquerware generous both received silver, and subsequently with Maotai, Yuping Xiao Di and said “Guizhou Sambo.”

After 1949, the generous lacquer ware from the establishment of production cooperatives, to the formation of state-owned generous lacquer factory, the old artist’s skills into full play, the young artists receive training and exercise. In addition to the traditional process of succession, but also sent people to learn from Fuzhou, advanced technology, so generous in the original lacquer on the basis of some innovation, lacquer over more than 200 kinds of varieties, the product not only in the domestic market, while exports to Eastern Europe.

After the reform and opening up, is generous in maintaining the traditional characteristics of lacquer on the basis of continuous innovation, product development to more than 400 kinds of, access to provincial, and departmental standards title, winning a variety of handicrafts, treasures the Central Museum collection in 1984 has also been selected for the first 23 sessions of the Los Angeles Olympic Games souvenirs.

However, the generosity of lacquer ware in the long history of several centuries, although the creation of a number of brilliant, but after several twists and turns, ups and downs several times. Today, the county has a certain capacity of enterprises is only 3, that is generous lacquer factory, big Fang hair lacquer factory, generous carving factory, are private enterprises. In addition, there are more than 10 small workshops. Once brilliant and generous state-owned factory lacquer discontinued for two years, is currently idle factory, the workers all lost.

Data show that the county generous lacquer sales from 5 years ago, more than 1,000 million yuan, down to the present more than 600 million yuan and tax revenue to provide only 50 million. Such a “report card” and generous well-known lacquer ware is not consistent. Shi Lu Chang said.

Shi Lu Chang believes that the current development status lacquer generous concern, the main manifestations: traditional crafts are being lost. Fetal skin lacquer, hidden flower, flower outline in gold lacquer, black push-ray technology, is a generous lacquer Zhuanjiazhibao. The reason why generous lacquer lacquer ware in China account for a family place, precisely because of these unique skills. But the reality is that fetal skin lacquer is almost lost, and the production of leather and old tires are few artists, young artists a rare opportunity to poetry, let alone inherit. In addition, the reduction in the level craft, design stagnant, packaging, simple, ambiguous position, business order and chaos, College Students Donate Sperm production site and other factors also contributed to the generous lacquerware industry is downsizing the key.

Trace the reasons for impeding the development of generous lacquer were: lack of protection measures for traditional crafts. The late 90s of the last century, is generous and skillful art of old lacquer artist after another retirement, an increase in new workers and apprentices. Handicrafts are mostly relying on mass production techniques to help with the traditional method of apprenticeship, the old artists do not want to teach, new artists do not want to learn, lack of appropriate training systems, business information and skills not focus on experience in the compilation process coupled with fetal skin dirty, tired, hidden flower very complicated processes, resulting in lost traditional crafts.

Meanwhile, the cultivation of lacquer art artists missing, the lack of design talent, as well as generous lacquer art of positioning and market positioning has not studied, in addition to the lack of generous lacquer brand protection measures, which are impeding the development of the key reasons for generous lacquer.

Generous tradition of lacquer ware techniques and industry whether it is allowed to disappear, or continue “chipping away”, or allowed to shine bigger and stronger?

Not long ago, I saw and heard the interview in the county, people see the generous lacquer hope.

Since last year, generous county, the county government loudly that “transmission of lacquer to revive lacquer industry, creating lacquer ware brand” slogan.

The Government’s guidance, in March 2008, is generous and lacquer Association was formally established (for the country’s second home). In the same year in October, is generous and counties of China Arts and Crafts Association, also awarded the “Hometown of lacquer ware in China.” Is currently being formed and generous Lacquer (Group) Co., Ltd., by 3 to 5 years to integrate the county lacquer resources, increased technological innovation, the corporation has become bigger and stronger, the annual output value of more than 50 million yuan. At the same time, effectively increasing technology transfer and scientific and technological innovation, Investment efforts to support non-public enterprises and foreign invested enterprises set up lacquer processing enterprises.

Actively supporting the production of lacquer ware, while trade associations do a good job of self-discipline, and led the development of generous lacquer industry standards, to declare “generous lacquer” geographical indications of origin protection of national certification.

Shen Xiao-chun said the county party secretary from the national industry-oriented point of view, the development of lacquer ware industry, in line with national long-term development strategies; from the county agriculture and farmers need to look at the development of lacquer can promote the agricultural structure adjustment, a large number of farmers planting sumac can promote income; from eco – construction, environmental protection requirements of point of view, large-scale cultivation of lacquer trees, can increase the forest cover and promote sustainable socio-economic development; from the requirements of tourism development point of view, generous lacquer crafts as a tourist commodity, is rich in historical connotation and national cultural foundation, you can make as a “Sambo, Guizhou,” one of the generous lacquer which branch of the nation bloom even more brilliant.

According to reports, generous counties have taken advantage of the natural geographical and climatic conditions, large-scale cultivation of fine lacquer. County Forestry Bureau to the information provided: the eight-county Fort, ternary, constellation and other towns have been large-scale cultivation of lacquer trees, in 2007, have been planted in 2600 on the basis, but also planted 6,000 acres of contiguous, while the establishment of a 200 mu breeding base for lacquer. According to generous fruit characteristics of industrial development planning, lacquer tree planting focus on the layout of the 10 townships, a total of 10 hectares planted.

In the county this year, held February 25 to promote generous lacquerware industry conferences, decision-makers decided to follow-up lacquer as a pillar industry to nurture. First, increase the financial resources of lacquer ware production enterprise support, while the reform of state-owned lacquer ware factory, through the restructuring, integration lacquer resources, joint ventures, holding and other mode of operation to expand the production scale of lacquer ware, improve product quality.

At present, the generous county is actively rescue and excavation soon lost the traditional technique of traditional lacquer art experience to compile and generous to prepare for the need of educating people; the operation of the traditional techniques, employing the old artists in order to pass, to help with the way transmission ; on long-term commitment to generous lacquering techniques, the old artists and craftsmen, as well as outstanding contributions to the artists, the county will be granted the title of traditional arts and crafts artists and to give a certain degree of economic treatment. Obvious effect of this initiative, in 2006, colorful Guizhou Tourism commodities “two sessions, one race,” on the generous introduction of an implicit flower “Wufeng rising sun,” mill lacquer, because exquisitely made, exquisite workmanship, not only attracts many tourists eye, also provincial committee, as patent protection.

At the same time, counties also focus on cultivating a generous lacquer reserve personnel. According to the present lacquer painted decoration and design, marketing professionals serious deficiencies of the status quo, the county co-cultured with the universities painting decoration, shape, structure, packaging, design and sales personnel.

For the generous lacquer product positioning, some experts have suggested, first of all have their own national identity and regional characteristics, while based on scientific and technological progress, promoting technological innovation and product innovation. On this basis, according to market demand, combined with modern materials, process equipment and technology and many other elements designed to produce products suitable for various types of consumer favorite. I understand that the generous county in order to improve the quality of lacquer products, expand production scale, reduce labor intensity, is on the lacquer processing enterprises for technological transformation.

Right now, generous county in the lacquer product development, in addition to factories in cooperation with the Maitai annual output of 100,000 “Guizhou Maotai” box, but also aimed at the rapid development of the province in recent years, the tea industry, currently has more than 10 tea processing enterprises entered into an agreement to produce the box. In addition, the generous lacquer processing enterprises also focus on national products, travel goods, high-grade furniture, jewelry boxes, painting, funeral and religious supplies to work on a number of product development.

Speaking generous lacquerware industry, county lurin confidence, he worked out an account: by 2010, the county planted 10 hectares sumac, farmers can get from this project labor remuneration, in the lacquer paint the normal production after the calculation, can realize an annual output of 1,100 tons lacquer, the annual output value will reach 121 million. At the same time the annual output value of lacquer ware products up to 5000 million yuan, profit and tax 10 million yuan to solve 500 jobs. It is understood that generous county is setting up and painted with lacquer art institute, the use of modern hand-off and method to study the growth of generous lacquer, lacquer ware production process, while research and development of new products on the market.
