大家好!我是广东民间工艺博物馆馆长黄海妍,很高兴为大家介绍我馆馆址陈家祠以及馆藏珍贵文物。
      著名作家郭沫若先生曾赋诗赞美陈家祠:“天工人可代,人工天不如。果然造世界,胜读十年书。”陈家祠位于广州市中山七路,是清代广东各地陈姓宗族合资建造的合族祠,于1893年落成,1988年被国务院公布为全国重点文物保护单位,是广东省内现存规模最大、保存最完好、装饰最精美的岭南祠堂式建筑,被誉为“岭南建筑艺术的明珠”,是国家AAAA级景区,广州的文化名片。
      我馆以陈家祠为馆址,成立于1959年,是国家一级博物馆,也是广东省内收藏明清民间工艺精品极为丰富的艺术类博物馆。
      今天,我将选取三件文物藏品,带您感受精美绝伦的岭南传统工艺,及其丰富的文化内涵。
 
      广州木雕神楼
      首先,我要为您介绍的是广州木雕神楼。这座神楼是反映清代番禺岗尾十八乡“洪圣王出会”神诞活动的珍贵实物。神楼体量巨大,占地面积约26平方米,由大约160件木构件组成,整体呈宫殿式布局。
      神楼的门框上,分别刻有“东中西龙楼社敬送”“宣统元年岁次己酉 ”“何秉记造”的字样,反映了制作年代、店号、神诞活动的组织者等信息,极具历史价值;神楼采用多种雕刻工艺,髹漆贴金而成,金漆木雕和彩绘装饰取材自吉祥如意图案、戏曲故事和民间传说,又具有极高的文物价值和艺术价值。
 
      广州外销样板扇
      这把折扇,又称样板扇,全部采用镂空雕刻手法,扇骨计有象牙、砗磲、银累丝烧珐琅及玳瑁等多种材料,其中有原色,有染色,边骨采用繁复的银鎏金累丝并饰以累丝龙纹,是我馆的另一件珍贵藏品。样板扇为买家提供各种材质的扇骨样板以供选择,生动地反映了十九世纪广州外销贸易的订货方式,说明欧洲市场对中国外销工艺扇的需求量很大,也说明同一家制扇作坊中有多个能用不同材质、不同工艺制扇的工匠,制扇工艺的高超,带动着工艺扇的畅销。
 
      石湾陶塑“誓把山河重安排”
      1960年代,河南省林县人民在太行山中修建了“人工天河”红旗渠。这套石湾陶组塑反映的正是林县人民在巍巍太行山上开凿红旗渠引水的壮阔画面。作品塑造了八位分工不同的修渠人物,他们坚定的眼神,指向前方的手势,以及向中心凝聚的动作,表现了“誓把山河重安排”的气势与意志,彰显了林县人民“自力更生、艰苦创业、团结协作、无私奉献”的“红旗渠精神”。
 
      一方水土、一番风情,广东民间工艺在岭南沃土与中华优秀传统文化的滋养下,闪耀着独特的光彩。欢迎大家来到广东民间工艺博物馆,亲身领略岭南传统建筑和民间工艺的魅力。

Famous writer, Mr. Guo Moruo has wrote a poem to praise Chen's Lineage Hall.Work of nature can be replaced by the man-made.The man-made is no better than the work of nature.The world is made by nature.Exploring the world is like reading ten years of books.Chen's Lineage Hall is located on the Zhongshan Seventh Road in Guangzhou.It is a joint venture lineage hall constructed by Chen’s lineage from Qing Dyansty in Guangdong.The construction was completed in 1893.In 1988,it was listed as the National Key Relics Protection Unit by the State Council.It was the largest in scale, the most well-maintained,the most well-decorated Lingnan Lineage Hall in Guangdong Province.It was praised as the pearl of Lingnan Architecture Art.It was the national AAAA tourist attraction and the cultural name card of Guangzhou. 
 
Our museum is located in Chen’s Lineage Hall.It was founded in 1959.It is the national first-class museum.It is an art museum with a large collection of exquisite folk craft in Guangdong Province. 
 
Today, I will choose three relic collections to let you appreciate the exquisite Lingnan traditional craft with rich cultural connotation. 
 
Celestial Wood Pavilion in Guangzhou 
First of all,what I am about to introduce is the celestial wood pavilion in Guangzhou.This celestial pavilion reflects an idolatrous procession of Hongsheng King at Panyu Gangwei Eighteenth Township in Qing Dynasty.The celestial pavilion has a large size.It occupies about 26 square meters.It is comprised of about 160 wooden parts.The whole is under palatial arrangement.
 
On the door frame of the celestial pavilion,it was engraved with “respectively given by Eastern, Central and Western Longlou Community”,“in the first year of Xuantong,Yiyou Years”,“made by He Bing”It is the record of information such as the year of making, shop number, the organizer of the celebration of celestial being’s birth and so on.It has a profound historic value.The celestial pavilion has utilized multiple carving techniques.It is covered with lacquer coating.Its gold lacquer coating, wood carving, painted decoration is inspired by the “luck and happiness” patterns, opera stories and folk legend.It has high relic value and artistic value.
 
The Fan Model for Export Sales in Guangzhou
This folding fan is also called fan model.It makes use of the hollow carving technique.The framework of fan is made of multiple materials such as ivory,tridacna, silver filament, the burned enamel and hawksbill.Especially there is the primary color, dyed color.The side frame used the repetitive gilt silver and gold filament with  filament in dragon pattern Our museum has another precious collection.Fan model has provided fan frame model made with multiple materials for customers to choose.It vividly reflects the way of ordering goods at export and trade in Guangzhou in 19th century.It explains that the European market has a huge need for the crafted fan exported from China.It also explains that the fan making from the same shop can use different materials,different fan makers.The skilled craftsmanship of fan making drives the hot sales of crafted fans.
 
Shiwan Pottery “Swear to Rearrange the Cityscape”
In 1960s,the artificial river,Hongqi Canal was built on Taihang Mountains by people in Lin County, Henan Province.This set of Shiwan pottery reflects the magnificent scene when Lin County people dig the Hongqi Canal on the towering mountains.The artwork shaped eight canal builders with different work assignments.Their determined eyes,hands pointing towards to the front as well as the gestures to gather in the center have showed their momentum and will in swearing to rearrange the cityscape.It manifests the Hongqi Canal spirit of people from Lin County, “self-reliance,hardworking and enterprising,solidarity and cooperation and selfless contribution”.
