Exploring Lacquerware(漆器) with Li Ziqi
Li Ziqi made a surprising comeback on Tuesday afternoon after more than three years away. She posted a new video on social media showing how she made wardrobe(衣柜) doors using traditional Chinese lacquerware techniques(技艺), an important cultural heritage. This news quickly became a topic among netizens, as people were excited about her return and amazed by the complexity(复杂性) of lacquerware, which requires great skills and patience.
In the video, Li climbs trees around 20 metres tall to collect the sap(汁液) herself. This process is quite dangerous both due to the height and because the sap is harmful. Lacquer sap is collected from lacquer trees by making small cuts in the bark, called “lacquer mouths”. Only trees older than ten years are used. The sap flows slowly and is carefully collected, cleaned, and stirred before being ready for use in lacquer art. Once the sap is prepared, it cannot be applied directly to objects. As shown in her video, the lacquer must be mixed with pigments(颜料,色素).
Creating lacquerware is a careful process. First, several layers of lacquer are applied to a surface, with each layer drying before the next is added. Once enough layers are applied, the surface is polished to a smooth finish.
Next, artists carve intricate(复杂的) designs into the lacquer with small tools, creating raised patterns. After carving, the piece is sanded, polished, and wiped to give it a shiny finish. Li’s work is even more complex than usual—she rubbed the items with alcohol and used ink rubbing techniques to enhance the patterns, making the process even more time-consuming and expensive.
There are two main types of lacquer art: surface decoration and carved lacquer. Li used both in her work. Although modern techniques have emerged(显现), traditional lacquer methods are still highly respected. With vloggers and artists like Li Ziqi, the future of lacquerware looks bright.
