"I think it's normal!" Wu Ke's cheeks were just a little redder than normal, and Chu Chen thought there should be no problem. Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke still looked in the mirror uneasily. Until he felt satisfied, he helped to take the gift Chu Chen brought and walked downstairs together. "Keke, when I hugged you just now, I felt that you were much thinner than before you came to England!" Chu Chen said with some distress as he walked. He also understood the reason why Wu Ke lost a lot of weight. It was just because he studied too much. Thanks for your hard work. "Are you thin? I think it's okay!" At this point, Wu Ke remembered something, patted Chu Chen's arm and said, "I'm telling you, don't put delicious food in my hands in the future." You seduced me in front of me, but you don¡¯t know that when I came back this time, I found that I couldn¡¯t put on many of my clothes. I was almost called a fat woman by Mina" Wu Ke said this is somewhat exaggerated, but she was better than Mi in the past. Na is thin, and she can wear some beautiful clothes. She has always been a little complacent about this. Now that Mina saw that she couldn't wear them, she laughed at her, which made her always worried. Chu Chen said: "Well girls should not be too thin. They are as good as pork ribs. They are not good to look at, and their bodies will be affected, which will affect their health!" Wu Ke rolled his eyes at Chu Chen and said, "What do you know! I Tell me, don¡¯t put delicious food in my bowl when you go back, otherwise I will get angry with you!¡± Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and said nothing more. When a woman encounters something related to Hemei, she must not talk to her. Argument, when he first moved into Uncle Wu's house. This happened to Wu Ke, and it made him miserable. There is a saying that one learns from every adversity, and ever since then. He always took this lesson to heart. Of course, having said that, he believed that after seeing the delicious food, Wu Ke said he would not eat it, but his hand movements would not be slow, and with him around, he would definitely not be worried about obesity. In his mind, he imagined that Wu Ke looked at himself with the cuteness of grabbing food, and Chu Chen couldn't help laughing. "Big pervert. Why do you always want to do bad things?" Wu Ke saw Chu Chen's smile and thought he was thinking about that thing again, so he couldn't help but sneered. Chu Chen was really confused when he heard this. He asked with some confusion: "How could I want to do something bad?" "Then you have to ask yourself!" After saying that, Wu Ke ran downstairs with a sweet smile. , leaving Chu Chen who was still confused. The gifts that Chu Chen prepared for Randy's family were cloisonn¨¦ jewelry boxes, cloisonne bracelet colorful sets, and a Beijing mane set. The jewelry box was given to Randy's mother, and the colorful bracelet set was given to those who were still in school. of Mina. Needless to say, Jingcheng Mane was given to Randy. Westerners and Easterners have different customs. After receiving a gift, they like to open it on the spot. When Randy¡¯s mother saw that it was well-made. When she saw the jewelry box that looked very practical and elegant, she immediately fell in love with it and could not put it down and played with it for a long time. "Chu. Thank you so much. I like this jewelry box very much!" Randy's mother thanked her profusely. Chu Chen quickly said you¡¯re welcome. at this time. Randy opened the box containing the Jingcheng mane, and when he saw the exquisitely crafted and vivid dolls inside the box. He couldn't help but let out an exclamation of exclamation. "Chu, this is the Beijing Mane Man you're talking about? It's really great! By the way, why is this thing called a Mane Man? Is it made of pig bristles?" Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes! These dolls The bottom is indeed made of pig bristles" The Jingcheng bristles were influenced by shadow puppetry and Peking opera. The height of the characters is generally about 9-16 centimeters, with ingenious design and fine production. Photography by Wang Qiong of China.com Photo Library The Jingcheng Zongren was founded in the late Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 100 years. The head and base are made of clay. The head and base are made of clay, and the body frame is made of straw. The outer layer is covered with a colored paper (or colored silk) coat, and a little cotton is wadding. Then the facial makeup and clothing are drawn according to the character's story, and the base is glued A circle of pig bristles about two to three centimeters long will create a vivid man with bristles. Several bristle men form a group of drama characters, which are placed on a copper plate according to the characters of Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou in Peking Opera. As long as the edge of the copper plate is lightly tapped, the characters in the plate will be moved by the elasticity of the bristle. When danced, coupled with the singing of Peking Opera, it is like a real person performing on the stage, showing the charm of classical literature and opera art. ???????????????????So the old Beijing people also call it "Tongpan Man" or "Good Show on the Plate". Or simply call it the "Copper Tea Plate Drama". This unique skill combines the concepts of Peking Opera culture, physics and mechanics. The trick is on the chassis underneath it. A circle of mane is glued on the bottom of the mane man, andIt is elastic. When beating, the vibration of the copper plate and the mane is used to drive the mane man to rotate regularly. The mane man is the only folk handicraft with dynamic performance. After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Randy asked with a surprised look on his face: "Chu, you mean these dolls will move when placed on a copper plate?" Chu Chen smiled and replied: "Yes, just knock on it. It will move when you press it. We can try it out later. "Randy said impatiently: "Then let's try it quickly" Under the dolls, there was a copper plate. Randy quickly moved the dolls and the copper plate. and the percussion tools were taken out. After placing the dolls, he followed Chu Chen's instructions and quickly tapped the copper plate with a tool. He saw that the five dolls, Shengdan, Jingmochou, started to rotate just like what Chu Chen had introduced. It made Randy and his mother feel more novel for a while. If Randy's hands weren't sore after a long time, he would have been able to keep knocking. Randy put down the hammering tool in his hand and asked Chu Chen next to him: "Chu, why have I never seen such an interesting doll in the market?" Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. , this kind of doll is very labor-intensive, and it takes more than thirty days to make one. It takes half a year to complete the five figures. It cannot be scaled up at all, so it is not common even in the market in the capital, let alone It¡¯s your country.¡± Randy said with some regret: ¡°Oh, that¡¯s such a pity, but I think your government should take the lead in protecting this interesting traditional craft and pass it on from generation to generation. " Chu Chen nodded in agreement, but this kind of matter requires the efforts of the country. Even if he wants to protect it, he doesn't have that much energy to deal with it. Speaking of which, Britain is a country that attaches great importance to the protection of traditional culture and customs. Many traditions are still maintained today and are proud of the British people. Today, the Royal Horse and the Mounted Police patrolling around Buckingham Palace do not have many real combat advantages. However, its symbolic meaning is huge. For the British, it is a kind of glory, a kind of blood, a kind of uniqueness and superiority different from other nations. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out and the speed of integration with international standards is not bad. However, while discarding the old and incorporating the new, Chu Chen feels that the country should pay attention to protecting traditional culture like England. To be a powerful country in the world, China must have the capital of being a great country. This capital is not a high-rise building, but China¡¯s unique and profound culture that stands among the nations of the world! Chu Chen believes that as long as Chinese culture can be spread around the world and accepted by people around the world, respect, understanding and status will definitely follow. After having a sumptuous lunch at Randy's house at noon, Chu Chen wanted to go back to the room with Wu Ke to "whisper", but what made Chu Chen feel very depressed was that Randy might have been sick recently and held back too much. If so, after lunch, he took Chu Chen for a chat. For a whole four hours, Randy kept talking, which made Chu Chen almost unable to resist. When Randy finally stopped talking, he saw Mina, Qiao Xi, and Selina coming back. A girl carrying a box walked in from the door. Seeing this situation, Chu Chen was so depressed that he almost looked up to the sky and wailed. Wu Ke, who understood his thoughts, covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Mina and others said hello to Chu Chen, and then introduced the friend named Kelly to Chu Chen. Kelly was Mina¡¯s elementary school classmate. The two had a very good relationship at the time, but later Kelly moved out of town and the two lost contact. Later, at a university fraternity, the two met unexpectedly. Although they had grown up, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their friendship had not changed. Within a short time, the two became best friends who talked about everything. When Mina came in just now, she saw Wu Ke covering his mouth and having fun next to Chu Chen. After she introduced Kelly, she asked curiously: "Ellie, are you smiling so happily? Didn't something good happen to her? " Of course it was impossible for Wu Ke to tell Chu Chen what she was thinking. She was also quick to hug Chu Chen's arm and said, "Of course I am very happy that my fianc¨¦ is here! " Mina didn't believe Wu Ke's explanation. She looked at the young couple in front of her with suspicion. Just when she wanted to speak again, Randy next to her rescued the two of them just right. "Mina, this is the gift Chu brought you!" With that, Randy put a gift box in front of Mina. Now, Mina¡¯s attention was all focused on the gift box in front of her, which also made Chu Chen and Wu Ke let out a long sigh of relief. "Wow! It's so beautiful!" As soon as Mina opened the box, everyone on the sceneThe two girls were attracted by the cloisonn¨¦ bracelet in the box. There are seven bracelets composed of seven colors in the box. Specifically, there are seven kinds: red, black, white, dark blue, light blue, green, and yellow. These bracelets do not look gorgeous, but have a smart and delicate look. The sense of refinement made several girls fall in love with him at first sight.
