工匠者,乃精雕細(xì)琢之人,一顆細(xì)膩心,兩只勤勞手。這雙手,可測長短,可探深淺。浴火而出的博山琉璃,享譽全球的濰坊風(fēng)箏,飽含溫情的楊家埠年畫……一件件手造在山東匠人的巧手下翩然而出,起始于靈魂,發(fā)軔于指尖。
心手合一,方得萬物?!笆衷臁?,是從每一個中國匠人身上提煉出的流淌著的文化基因,是對自然的敬畏、對手藝的執(zhí)著、對成敗得失的淡然、對薪火相傳的篤定,是幾千年來在中華文明的懷抱里所產(chǎn)生的屬于中國人特有的精神情懷。
在膠州,手工藝大師劉錦波專攻蛋殼黑陶技藝,最初的六年,光泥料就用了20噸;在新泰,師曠古琴傳承人唐海霞用十年鉆研打造“千年絕響”;在泗水,老一輩匠人傾盡30多年心血,失傳800余年的魯柘澄泥硯才得以重現(xiàn)芳華……正是匠人們?nèi)諒?fù)一日的摸索、心無旁騖的專注,才有了山東手造的生生不息。
在山東,有很多這樣的手工藝制造者。山東的非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)和傳統(tǒng)手工藝資源豐富,擁有人類非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)代表作名錄項目8個、國家級非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄186項。這些承載著制作者“匠心”的項目之所以受到很多人的喜愛,正是因為這些手造產(chǎn)品中,都凝結(jié)了民間手工藝人多年來的堅韌和執(zhí)著。
在日新月異的時代,對于山東的傳統(tǒng)技藝,依舊有堅守的當(dāng)代傳承人用古典技法和巧妙雙手創(chuàng)造可觀可感的大千世界。他們用真摯的匠心、民族的情感開拓指尖上的“新藍(lán)海”,在傳統(tǒng)文化與現(xiàn)代美學(xué)中努力找尋平衡點。90后濟南小伙呂紀(jì)凱耗時一年復(fù)刻出一頂清代的誥命冠,1000多道工序的背后不僅是繁復(fù)的技藝,還有擇一事終一生的執(zhí)著堅守。正是這樣的精雕細(xì)琢,才有了山東手造的創(chuàng)意蝶變。
文化的傳承,每一天都是新的。對于手造人來說,時代的洪流也不能將閃光的事物湮沒。在齊魯大地上,一鑿一刻、一揉一捏、一針一線中,飽含著每一個手造人的希冀。他們帶著一輩人對中國傳統(tǒng)文化的仰望,在指尖上盡心打磨著最難得的手藝;他們算不上耀眼,但正是因為他們,我們看得到更多值得珍惜的傳統(tǒng),依然在平凡角落里閃閃發(fā)光,栩栩如生。

Craftsmen often work with great care, and have a meticulous mind and industrious hands. Their hands can measure length and depth. The Boshan colored glaze, the world-renowned Weifang kites, the Yangjiabu New Year paintings, the masterpiece that serves as a reproduction of the Peach-Stone Boat... Such handicrafts become lifelike under the dexterous hands of craftsmen from Shandong, start from the soul, and proceed from fingertips. In Jiaozhou, Liu Jinbo, a master craftsman specializing in black eggshell pottery, used 20 tons of ceramic mud in the first six years. In Xintai, Tang Haixia, the inheritor of Shi Kuang Guqin (ancient stringed instrument), spent ten years studying and making an “Immortal Instrument”. In Sishui, the older-generation craftsmen reproduced the Luzhe Chengni ink-stone through over 30 years of efforts... Due to craftsmens exploration day after day and concentration without distractions, Shandong handicrafts have realized continuous development. They have opened up a “New Blue Sea” on fingertips with sincere craftsmanship and national feelings.
