Let Yi's culture known by the world

 

 

11月中旬，四川“90后”女孩曲木史伍在短视频平台上传了一条彝族漆器髹饰技艺短视频。彝族漆器五彩斑斓的色彩、画师行云流水的笔法，数十万网友纷纷观看点赞。

Qumu Shiwu, a post-90s girl from Sichuan who was born after 1990s, uploaded a short video about the lacquerware of the Yiethnicgroup. The colorful handiwork and craftsman's smooth movements attracted hundredthousands of viewers.

5年来，这样的短视频曲木史伍已经拍摄了300多个，“我是彝家女孩，彝族漆器是我们的民族瑰宝，我希望更多人了解它、爱上它。”

She has taken over 300 short videos like this in the past five years. "As a Yi ethnic, I wish more people to learn about and fall in love with Yi's lacquer which is a precious cultural treasure of our nation."

坚持创作短视频成为全网爆款

曲木史伍从小在漆器厂里长大，不仅学会了漆器制作，也坚定地爱上了这门艺术。念大学时，曲木史伍选择了设计专业，毕业后回到家乡创立了漆器品牌“彝三彩”，一门心思要让更多人了解家乡的传统文化。

Growingup in a lacquerware factory, Qumu Shiwu has not only learnt to make lacquerware, but also fell in love with it. She studied design in college and started the brand "Yisancai"at her hometown after graduation to promote the local culture.

早在2017年，曲木史伍就发现彝族漆艺的色彩在视频中的效果十分出色。“我可以以漆器为载体，进一步宣传我们家乡的美食、美景，做一个属于我们凉山自己的宣传。”曲木史伍开始尝试短视频。

In 2017, she realized that the colors of Yi's lacquerware looked attractive in the videos. "I decided to promote our Liangshan's local food and natural scenery through the lacquerware."She started to make short videos.

随着越来越多的人开始了解彝族漆器，2020年开始，曲木史伍的视频在网上被更多的人看到，不仅如此，还有很多外地人登门拜访，想要拜师学艺。

In 2020, her videos became popular on the internet, arousing people's interest in Yi's lacquerware. What's more, people nationwide started to visit her to learn the skills.

漆器手工制作程序极为繁琐，也因此给了当地手艺人借此养家糊口的机会，“我请了专门挖胚胎、上底漆、涂色彩等各环节的师傅，很多人的生活条件也因此有所改观，现在他们有人已经在县城买了房。”

The lacquerware's elaborate craftsmanship enables the local craftsmen to get new job opportunities. "I've employed the craftsmen to make the embryo, paint the lacquer, and add the color. They can earn more and some of them have bought the houses in the town."

创新融合 与时俱进全方面推广非遗

作为90后，曲木史伍为自己规划了清晰的目标：不仅要做好、做精传统彝族漆器髹饰技艺，还要紧跟新时代的节奏，推陈出新。

Qumu Shiwu has a big ambition: not only to inherit Yi's lacquerware craftsmanship, but also to embrace the modern society and to innovate.

相比于专注推广彝族漆器，曲木史伍更想由点及面，进一步推广家乡凉山的美食美景、乡土风情。她的账号内，不仅有非遗传统技艺，还有各色的美食：川兴凉粉的制作过程、断崖坨坨肉的烹饪手法、牧童山烤土豆……浓郁的民族特色，在外网也收获了一众点赞。

She does not limit herself to Yi's lacquerware, instead, she has been attempting to promote Liangshan's food, scenery, culture, customs, etc. She has posted the videos about the cooking process of Chuanxing bean jelly, Duanya meat, Mutongshan roasted potatoes and otherfood, which has been popular on the internet overseas.
