Research On The Inheritance Of Miao Silver Forging Techniques And Product Development And Application

Miao ethnic group’s silver jewelry forging technique is a unique silver jewelry forging method in southeast Guizhou,northern Guangxi and Miao ethnic group areas in western Hunan.The Miao’s forging technique serves the Miao’s silver ornaments,and the forged silver ornaments pattern is not only the presentation of forging technique but also one of the carriers of the Miao’s culture.Forging skills and silverware patterns have created Miao silverware with distinctive regional characteristics.From the patterns presented by forging skills,we can see Miao people’s aesthetic taste,understanding of beauty and aesthetic consciousness.As a product of forging skills,Miao silver ornaments embody the identity,status and wealth of Miao people.Forging technology has been developed for hundreds of years,and now it is facing a huge crisis of inheritance and development.In 2006,the Miao’s silver jewelry forging skills became the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in China,which received policy protection and attention from all walks of life.Relying on the inheritance of forging skills in tourism,it has been developed.It has formed the inheritance mode of modern skills,such as inheritors opening inheritance studios,cultural experience halls and entering university teaching.Forging skills products have also begun to pay attention to brand building and product redesign,but forging skills products are mainly in the handicraft market.The best way to inherit traditional craft is to make craft products return to modern daily life.As a traditional craft,the application of forging technology in daily necessities is one of the effective ways of modern inheritance of forging technology.The modern daily necessities market is dominated by industrialized products.If forging technology returns to the application of daily necessities,it is necessary to explore and think about the industrialized design of forging technology based on the principle of "core characteristics of technology",which is also the focus of this study.In this study,field investigation,interview and literature analysis are used.Go to the Heritage Studio to learn Miao silver forging skills and other forms.Constructing the research system of the Miao’s silver jewelry forging technology.Including the verifiable history of Miao people wearing silver ornaments;The change of forging technology materials from traditional to modern.Research on forging process and types of skills;Research on the silver ornament pattern bearing Miao culture and forging content.Finally,the change of forging skill inheritance mode and the development status of forging skill products.The inheritance and development of forging skills are influenced by many aspects.As the product of forging skills,Miao silver jewelry,Whether Miao silver ornaments can be developed in the market or not,and whether the skill inheritors can get economic benefits from Miao silver ornaments,is the key to the modern inheritance of forging skills.Under the background of today’s high industrialization,this paper explores the Miao’s silverware forging skills,carries out industrial design on the principle of keeping the "core characteristics of craftsmanship",expands the market outside the Miao’s silverware handicraft,and provides new ideas and new ways for the modern inheritance of the forging skills.This study is based on the concept of standardized and modular design in industrialization.The silver ornaments,which is representative of Miao culture,are extracted and simplified,and the standardized design concept is used to arrange the patterns and standardize their shapes.Based on the systematic design of Miao silver jewelry modularization,Standardized single piece of Miao silver jewelry modularization is obtained,and the skills with standardization and modularization advantages in industrialization are selected to provide services for single piece production.Finally,the modular standard pieces of Miao silver ornaments are applied in combination with modern daily necessities such as furniture,tea sets,electronic products,tableware,lamps and electronic products,so that Miao silver ornaments can return to modern daily life.Provide feasible ideas for realizing the modern inheritance of forging skills.It provides a reference for the development of forging technology products.
