编者按 提到山东手造,很多人首先想到的大多是潍坊风筝。这个用竹子扎制骨架、高档丝绢蒙面、手工绘画的潍坊传统手工艺珍品已经成为山东传统文化的一方典型代表。如今,全球每10个风筝中就有7个来自潍坊,潍坊风筝已经走出潍坊冲向世界。其实,风筝,也只是潍坊手造圈里的一小簇光华。深入潍坊各县市区,在公园街角、在繁华小巷、在各类博物馆,你随时会感叹:一双手,到底能创造出多少好物!
这些来自民间的手造,自然朴拙却意味悠长,已经成为一种亲近自然新生活方式的生动注解。
独特的技艺,是手造令人向往的一抹光华。潍坊的嵌银漆器、鄌郚的吉他、临朐的手绘年画、柳疃的柞绸、李瑜复制的国之重器毛公鼎、王绪德在一枚只有硬币大小桃核上神还原的400年前的《核舟记》、祝小朋的锔艺,个顶个彰显着潍坊手艺人的独门绝技和非凡匠心。
手艺,也是守艺。如何守住传统文化的底蕴,实现历史长河中绵延不绝的传承?我们深切感受到在這些手艺人身上,彰显出除了坚守艺术的力量,还有不求于外、以勤为本的手造哲学。
如果说,在历史长河里潍坊手造有着岁月沉淀之美,那么当下的潍坊手造正在以更为亲和的方式融入到我们的日常当中,它既不是高高在上的庙堂专供,也不是曲高和寡的人间另类,它就在你我身边,更因着新时代的镌刻,生发出最美的模样。
