“创新”抑或“革命”?——对传统工艺原材料变迁的思考

Innovation or Revolution?

原生态的传统工艺材料是传统工艺的生命之本。然而随着时代的发展,打着"创新"的旗号对传统工艺原材料进行"革命"的现象却越来越多,诸如印染技艺、髹漆工艺、银饰锻造、宣纸制作等传统手工技艺的原料变迁便是其中较为典型的案例。而经过材料变迁这种"偷梁换柱"式的"革命",传统手工技艺的真实性、整体性和传承性无疑都将大打折扣。

The authentic raw materials is the life of the traditional crafts.However,with the development of the times,the revolutions on the traditional raw materials have been becoming more and more under the banner of the name of the innovation.The change of raw materials such as printing and dyeing,lacquer craft,silver forging,Xuan paper making and other traditional craftsmanship are the typical cases.After the revolution in the form of substitution to the raw material,the authenticity,integrity and inheritance of the traditional crafts will encounter the great reduction undoubtedly.
