Shandong hand -made youth said ｜ Hao Liyan: The tenon -and -mortise is a Chinese building block, not "China Lego"

"This is not 'China Lego', this is Chinese building blocks, we should have this cultural confidence." At the "China Hand -made Shandong Hand -made" boutique exhibition at the Eighth Nishan World Civilization Forum, Hao Liyan solemnly Tell a visitor.

Hao Liyan's ancestors were all carpenters. Grandpa had participated in the repair of the Shenyang Palace Museum. Hao Liyan was familiar with the tenon -and -mortise structure from childhood to large, but as a post -80s, Hao Liyan did not want to take this old road.

After engaging in education for many years, Hao Liyan returned to Tengzhou, his ancestral home, and told the tenon -and -mortise. He developed a set of tenon -and -mortise toys composed of six modules. In front of the reporter, he teased himself "may be the fate." It is also the mission of fate. It has passed the year of confusion. Hao Liyan has a sober judgment on the career he adhered to now. As the inheritor of Lubanmu's skill, he wants to inherit the unique culture and wisdom of China for generations.

Do you know what is mortise and what is?

As a "national tide toy", the increasingly rising tenon -and -lunter blocks are more and more popular with children and young parents.

It is also a tenon -and -mortise toy, and there are differences. The tenon -and -mortise toys developed by Hao Liyan are based on six modules. After the children get their hands, after mastering the basic gameplay, they can spell them at will according to their imagination. "Some of the common blocks on the market are two -dimensional, with X and Y axes. By superimposed changes, our building blocks are three -dimensional. Changes in form. If you just build a graphic according to the drawings, it is a model, and the exercise is memory, and what we sell is not a model or creativity. What we need to do is to convey a kind of Chinese culture and Chinese wisdom. "

Hao Liyan came to the Holy Realm of Nishan and saw the archway in front of the Lishui Bridge. It took two days to take a time to set up the same paragraph; the scene, he used a few minutes to demonstrate the creative process of a pistol. In his booth, there are also swords and pavilions. In his words, "Only you can't think of it, you can't get it."

For thousands of years, the tenon -and -mortise structure has already become a part of the Chinese life. Many buildings and furniture have tenon -and -mortise elements, but for what is tenon, what is 卯, and the connection between them, not everyone knows clearly Essence Hao Liyan picked up two modules and told reporters, "The protruding part is a tenon, the recessed is 卯, and the two can be fitted. Our Chinese culture has 'yin and yang raw everything', which means infinite continuation. We There is also a manifestation of "Two, Two of Three, Three Lives" in this toy. "

A building block, opening education and culture

Hao Liyan's ancestors were all carpenters. The restoration of the Shenyang Palace Museum was involved in the repair by his grandfather and grandfather. But Hao Liyan does not want to take this road. "I think this wooden structure is used to build a house and make a furniture. Many people can do it. What can it be inherited? How many years can Use the skills to convey the value, what to bring to our real life and what to bring to children. "

His thoughts were not understood by everyone at first, but he never gave up. "Most people think it is impossible. I said it is impossible. I can't think of it. Only you can't do it. I have developed for 10 years and conceived for 8 years in my head. , That's it. "

During the past ten years, two things have touched Hao Liyan a lot. He said that one was to apply for the World Intangible Cultural Heritage after renamed the tenon -and -mortise name. "On the one hand, I think this is ridiculous, and tenon -mortise is our unique culture in China; but on the other hand, I am self -mentioned. The second thing is to carry it. "The second thing is that the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences wants to make a Chinese toy, but it has been studied for 20 years and has not been done. "These two things have a lot of touch on me. I have a sense of mission. I want to do this. In 2019, some of my ideas finally looked like."

Hao Liyan opened a kind of kindergarten in Beijing for many years. In 2020, the epidemic was suddenly suspended. The kindergarten was forced to suspend classes, but gave Hao Liyan the opportunity to achieve many years of conception. Prior to this, he often heard that parents suggested that "kindergarten toys should be changed", which made him connect two seemingly unrelated industries. In the end, Hao Liyan returned to the place where his ancestors lived -Lu Ban's hometown, and set up a new company to devote himself to the research and development of tenon -and -tenon toys.

Ten months after the product was officially launched, it received good feedback from the market and the industry. The "Oriental Crown" built by 42 tennon lunches won the first gold award of the "Revitalizing Traditional Craftsmanship Luban Cup". Come. Hao Liyan said that although their products are facing children, they cover the crowd very widely. "The largest customer is 82 years old, the youngest is only eight months, and many mothers have bought them back to the children because they like it. Play. "The tenon -and -mortise is used as us as Confucian culture

Toy was just Hao Liyan's first idea. On these six small building blocks, he still had a longer look.

Now Hao Liyan's tenon -and -mortise toys are sold in their own online stores, and there are also thinking courses offline. At the same time, they are facing kindergarten, primary school sales teaching aids and courses. Currently, after some southern cities in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangzhou, Sichuan, etc. Very good feedback.

It is a toy, not just toys. After creative association and construction, a few tenon -lun -and -lunter blocks can become a "insulation pad" and mobile phone bracket. The wisdom of the ancients still flashed everywhere in today's life. This is also the charm of Hao Liyan who wants to let more people understand Chinese culture.

This time as a representative to participate in the "China Hand -made and Shandong Hand -made Boutique Exhibition", Hao Liyan was emotional. Being able to carry out the tenon through the building blocks, do not lift the tenon -and -mortise in the future, is Japan's tenon -and -mortise, the tenon -and -mortise of South Korea, and the tenon -and -mortise is the culture of our Chinese Chinese nation. To make some very interesting products, we must persist in innovation in the future. "

Every time I participate in the exhibition, someone will ask Hao Liyan, "Isn't this the Chinese version of Lego?" Hao Liyan will immediately tell him, "No, this is not China Lego, this is the culture of China, this is our Chinese culture, we are our Chinese culture. We There should be such cultural self -confidence. "

In the future, Hao Liyan will also take tenon -and -mortise to go among more children and walk to a larger world stage. Cultural revival is far away, Hao Liyan is very optimistic, "the important thing is that I have started to do it."
