Bai Jingyi

Bai Jingyi, female, Manchu, was born on September 291942 in Beijing. The second batch of national intangible cultural heritage projects are representative inheritors of silk inlay production technology.

Character experience

He graduated from Beijing Arts and crafts school in 1961, majoring in metal arts and crafts. He studied design from Zhai Deshou, Wu Kenan and other Chinese arts and crafts masters, and has been engaged in the design and production of "Silk inlay" and jewelry for a long time.

Up to now, master Bai Jingyi, who is nearly 70 years old, has been engaged in jewelry and Desk Art Design for nearly 50 years. He is the only remaining old generation of design masters in China's process design field. Over the years, he has made remarkable achievements in the inheritance and creative design of "Silk inlay" technology. In 2008, the Ministry of culture of the people's Republic of China officially incorporated the "Silk inlaying technique" into the national intangible cultural heritage, and master Bai was rated as the representative inheritor of this technique.

While inheriting the essence of Chinese traditional culture and art, master Bai's works are creative, vivid and free from vulgarity, forming his own unique artistic style. His works have participated in many design competitions and expositions at home and abroad, and won many awards. His representative works include: gold ornament "Phoenix bell", "gold and jade seismograph", "Pepsi harmony", "Ode to the motherland" and so on. Master Bai Jingyi's work "Fengming bell" won the best design award in the diamond jewelry design competition in Southeast Asia in 1983. It is the highest authoritative award in the world for China's filigree inlay works so far.

In 2009, China known to the world, Beijing Jewelry Co., Ltd., with the cooperation of Bai Jingyi, established the national intangible cultural heritage filet mosaic base in the world-famous Beijing Eastern Song Dynasty Village, and devoted itself to the inheritance and development of the mosaic technology. This long history of Chinese palace art classics has gained vitality and has gained popularity in the world.

Good at type

"Filigree inlay" category: "ornaments" and "jewelry" design and production; inheritance and performance: I studied in Beijing Arts and crafts school, which is a part-time art school established by Chairman Zhu De to inherit Chinese traditional crafts. I have the honor to become the first batch of formal professionals trained by the state, that is, to learn the art foundation and design, and to participate in production under the guidance of the old artists. After working, I have been following the development road of combining design with production practice. On this road, I have been walking for 50 years, which has benefited me all my life. Over the past 50 years, his works have participated in exhibitions and competitions at home and abroad for many times and won many awards.

In the early 1970s, I created gold inlaid gem ornaments such as "Korean patriarch inspiring people" (Lost Photos), "taking over the previous horse pole" and so on, which were highly appraised by the foreign trade department: "vivid modeling, vivid dance movements, and a sense of sculpture." At the same time, it has obtained the order of batch production, which has created high economic benefits for the enterprise. These works are made of gold and platinum materials, with natural semi precious stones to set off the works, which is the industry's first. It is also a preliminary attempt to carve three-dimensional figures and animals, breaking through the traditional materials of only gold and silver, and also innovating in technology. It has opened up new ideas for the creation of the industry.

From the late 1970s to the early 1990s, I created a lot of representative works in the industry: in terms of the use of raw materials, I created high-grade gem works with matching inlays of "gold inlaid ivory", "gold inlaid jade", "gold, stone carving and wood carving". For example, when the gold ornament "dongfangshuo" (lost photo) was displayed in Hong Kong, it was ordered by collectors at the opening ceremony and returned There are "descendants of the dragon" and "Fengming bell" which won the best design award of "ornament group" in Southeast Asia diamond jewelry design competition, as well as the "Oriental charm" jewelry series of silver inlaid porcelain carvings designed and produced to welcome the Asian Games. These works also broaden the innovation channels of the industry. In the early 1990s, the factory was in a recession. After negotiation between the leaders of "Hunan import and Export Corporation" and the flower silk inlay factory, I led several skilled workers to Hunan to design and manufacture large-scale gold ornaments "Jinyu seismograph" and "single humped Golden Camel".

In November 1997, after retirement, he set up a personal studio to design and produce metal crafts and urban sculptures. Such as the Great Hall of the people, Taiwan's Zhenlong hall, Singapore's "Zhulin Temple" and other places, as well as Wangfujing Kaijie large plaque carved copper relief.

In 2008 and 2009, he completed two works of "Ode to the motherland" and "Pepsi hehe" and won prizes.

In 2009, I was named as the national intangible cultural heritage project "representative inheritor of silk mosaic art" by the Ministry of culture of the people's Republic of China. In the same year, he reached a cooperation agreement with Zhao Yi Xin Tian Di (Beijing) jewellery Limited by Share Ltd, and set up a comprehensive heritage base with the technology of silk mosaic as the core technology, which integrates R & D, display, design and processing, cultural dissemination and market promotion. Over the past two years, in order to restore our traditional skills, we have imitated the "golden wing crown" of the Ming Dynasty, the "Phoenix crown" of Diancui, and the exquisite jewelry art of the Han, Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. At the same time, we have developed new works, such as evening dress handbags woven with gold silk and handbags woven with floor pattern. These new high-end jewelry have started the business of advanced customization. The studio is fully equipped with R & D personnel. In addition to some technical workers engaged in filament inlay, all of them are graduates majoring in jewelry from art colleges and universities. They are still recruiting. The second phase project of "inheritance base" has been launched, and the studio will expand its development.
