Inspirational research

Although it has been to the ripe old age, Huang Lao still looks ruddy and hale and hearty.

Recalling his help with Shen Congwen, after suffering, and finally completed the exhortations of the teacher, he talked freely and many memories were still fresh.

Mr. Shen Congwen wrote a book that year.

The original manuscript was taken away by the red guards in the cultural revolution and later found in the basement of the Museum of history.

After the publication of the book, in view of the fact that there were not many archaeological relics and incomplete physical pictures at that time, Shen Congwen had a wish to add some pictures to the book again.

Shen Congwen also talked about the past: in 1956, Premier Zhou Enlai said at a banquet that he visited some small countries, and saw that there were some clothing museums and books on clothing history.

But our country has a long history, a great country, but has no own clothing museum or silk museum.

I am sorry to hear that.

Mr. Shen was very ill, so he asked Huang Nengfu and Chen Juanjuan to finish the book.

With the concern of the State Council and the relevant departments, the construction of the China Silk Museum and the Chinese Costume Museum has been put on the agenda. The origin of Chinese Costume Art Co authored by Huang Nengfu and Chen Juanjuan and the history of Chinese clothing history have been published successively.

Huang Lao told the reporters from these two books in his study. They were the blueprint of "seven thousand years of Chinese costume", which collected the research results of their whole life.

It is understood that in September last year, "seven thousand years of Chinese clothing" book four volumes of nearly 40 million words, with color map, black and white map of more than 3300.

The reporter opened this masterpiece and found that some of the pictures were hand copied.

It is understood that these copied pictures are from Huang Lao's hands.

"Many ancient unearthed relics, because there is no money to buy photos, can only copy themselves."

Huang Lao said.

"Seven thousand years of Chinese costume" is based on the physical photos, to examine the evolution of Chinese clothing from ancient to modern.

It systematically introduces the history of the development of Chinese clothing in the past dynasties and shows a history of the development of Chinese clothing in the light of the concept of physical history and the historical order of the history of Chinese clothing.

The book comes from clothing styles, fabrics, patterns, jewelry and accessories.

It can be described as a complete collection of Chinese costumes.

History and Cultivation

It is necessary to put forward the history of Chinese clothing in 2000 and demonstrate that Chinese clothing has a history of 7000 years.

In the decades of research, Huang Nengfu always guided the research work with historical materialism and dialectical materialism, drew a large number of unearthed cultural relics, and made a large number of in-depth studies on ancient costumes of the ape man and the Paleolithic costume. With the detailed clothing and material evidence and scientific and rigorous scholarship methods, the historical conclusion of Chinese clothing for 7000 years was fulfilled.

For example, the ancient people wore anti skins, their textures inside and outside the skin, and the textural anatomy of ancient silk.

Huang Lao pointed to a picture of a pottery man at the Banpo site, telling reporters that his ancestors had already had linen fabrics, and the texture of the fabric was meticulous and colorful.

"We found more than 100 pieces of painted pottery with woven embroidery marks on them, indicating that ancient Chinese have mastered weaving skills."

Huang Lao said.

In Huang Lao's book, the reporter saw that he restored the costume of the bronze statue of the relics excavated from the ruins of the ancient Sanxingdui.

The restored patterns make up a very beautiful pattern of clothing and fabric, which has found objects for the study of ancient costume patterns.

In the book "history of Chinese clothing", Huang has drawn a lot of hand sketches, which have poured into his painstaking efforts and hardships.

Huang told reporters that when the child was small, Chen Juanjuan was not in good health. He often had to run the hospital and take care of the daily life of his family.

After a busy day, he only went to the evening to wait for his mother and son to fall asleep.

Get up at 4 in the morning, write for three or four hours, then prepare breakfast and do housework.

At that time, in order to find a picture, he ran around many libraries in Beijing. With the help of the the Imperial Palace Museum in Beijing, he contacted a lot of ancient costumes and pictures.

Many copies of pictures are copied in a single stroke because they can not afford to buy them.

The seven thousand years of Chinese costumes cost 80 thousand yuan. The publisher gave 55 books to Huang Lao as his contribution. He donated them to him who had helped him.

Interview Huang Yeng Fu, let reporters sigh, like him, decades of writing books research endless, diligently immersed in learning, do not care about personal gains and losses, sitting on the bench, how much now?

At the end of the interview, Huang Nengfu told reporters that as a general consultant of the China Silk Museum and the Chinese clothing Museum, it was a lifelong regret that he failed to build the Museum of Chinese clothing.

"The Chinese costume museum will be built one day."

He said.
