What kind of artistic world can lines of different colors and materials create?

The "Clues - Huang Wei Art Solo Exhibition" being held in Shanghai has created a "world of lines" that combines tradition and fashion for the audience.

Huang Wei has multiple identities: a well-known designer, artist, fashion design director, fashion magazine consultant... In recent years, her most well-known work is undoubtedly the fashion design of last year's popular TV series "Dream of China".

Recently, in the old buildings of Yangyun Anman in Jiangxi, Huang Wei showcased her more diverse artistic imagination to the audience.

Installation Art "Four Seasons"

The work "Four Seasons" is an installation art composed of colorful silk threads and light, with tassels made using traditional Chinese intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship as the basic element. It constructs a time and space tunnel composed of colored silk thread tassels, creating a visual space with varied and colorful scenery.

In the exhibition hall, there are many works based on traditional embroidery, such as "Reed" woven from Su embroidery, one of the four famous embroideries in China. The four layers of patterns cleverly create a three-dimensional visual effect, with meticulous embroidery, lively needlework, and elegant colors. The "Crane and Wisteria Flower" embroidery adopts Beijing embroidery, integrating various excellent embroidery techniques from China. The embroidery thread has bright colors, exquisite materials, and an elegant style.

In addition to serving as a fashion design guide for over 80 film and television works, Huang Wei's artistic creations are also closely linked to China's intangible cultural heritage. In 2019, she served as the chief designer of the Palace Museum cultural and creative project "Gongxi · Longfeng Chengxiang", and designed and produced 66 sets of wedding auspicious costumes with Palace Museum elements for the project.

This batch of complex and exquisite auspicious costumes combines the traditional intangible cultural heritage with the current aesthetic paradigm. All clothing is hand sewn, requiring a significant amount of labor and utilizing up to 40 intangible cultural heritage techniques. Some of the clothing made an appearance in this "Clue" exhibition, magnificent and elegant, fully expressing Huang Wei's translation and exploration of intangible cultural heritage art resources in the field of visual art.

One of the "Gong Xi · Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness" series

In the view of the curators Liu Chunfeng and Li Jihan of this exhibition, the works with various themes in "Clues" reflect Huang Wei's self exploration, reasoning, and repeatedly spiral thinking views, and also express the artist's concern for reality. In the exhibition, a large number of natural or ready-made materials such as silk, wood, cotton, paper, and thread can be seen being replicated and reassembled by artists through methods such as "drilling wells", and being associated with the real space, showcasing an alienated sensory context that transcends the original materials themselves.

The costume designed by Huang Wei for the film and television series "Cloud Crossing the Sea" has participated in the Brazilian Biennale

On another dimension, "clues" also interpret a personalized process of artistic creation. This process is different from the value expression of Western art. Huang Wei is more of an artistic creation based on the coordinate system of sorting out Eastern traditional culture and tracing local context. This process is slow and rhythmic.

Tell me about the disaster relief scene I saw, Zhuozhou Returning Water Flow | Rescue | Disaster Relief

Rainstorm hit Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The once-in-a-century natural disaster brings an unprecedented rescue challenge. For the north, floods are a relatively unfamiliar scene. In the face of disasters, professional self rescue awareness, rescue ability, and disaster relief order are particularly crucial. On the early morning of August 5th, we contacted the Zique rescue team who had just evacuated from the flood scene in Zhuozhou and was still on their way back. This civilian rescue force from Shanghai participated in many core tasks during the flood. Recalling the cities and villages soaked in water waiting for rescue, they had a lot of experience and observation from the disaster relief site. The following is the story of Hong Yunyin, a member of the Zique Rescue Team. Narrator: Hong Yunyin, 37 years old, one of the founders of the Zique Rescue Team. Terrain, water flow, and debris test rescue professional skills. We have been closely related since late July

What tricks can Shanghai play?, The garbage at the end is only for visiting a "garbage factory", they travel thousands of miles to utilize the garbage at the end
What tricks can Shanghai play?, The garbage at the end is only for visiting a "garbage factory", they travel thousands of miles to utilize the garbage at the end

Some people say that the real driving force of garbage classification is at the end. As long as the efficiency of garbage resource utilization is high enough, the change of the beginning will happen naturally. However, "benefits" are difficult to calculate. As a public product, the end disposal of garbage is not only quite complicated, but also relatively limited in return. So, under the goal of "no waste city", how should waste end disposal enterprises balance public welfare and development? What are their new explorations in conversion efficiency? The reporter visited Songjiang Tianma Waste-free Low-carbon Environmental Protection Industrial Park and Shanghai Laogang Ecological Environmental Protection Base, trying to reveal the effectiveness and difficulties of waste end disposal, and found the potential and motivation of "circular economy" normalization. Face the shock of garbage "everyone who comes here will feel the shock." In Songjiang Tianma, there is no waste, low carbon and environmentally friendly production.

In my impression, the traditional breakfast of Shanghai people is inseparable from the "Four Great Kings". With the development of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, in the past one or two years, more and more Yangzhou and Taizhou morning tea shops have opened in Shanghai. Many local "time-honored brands" in Shanghai have reopened or adhered to the morning tea period of 7 or 8 o'clock, and the existing brand Cantonese restaurants have provided the population in Shanghai with a richer morning tea experience. As a traditional social and dietary custom in China, morning tea is related to the dietary habits of a place and also reflects the historical development and cultural identity of a city. The reporter recently visited morning tea shops with different flavors in Shanghai to observe and experience the morning tea lifestyle in Shanghai. Cantonese people tend to refer to eating morning tea as "sighing tea", where "sighing" means enjoying it. What is the flavor of "sighing" when drinking morning tea in Shanghai? Having a bite to eat but lacking leisure time

Summer has arrived, and swimming is a great sport. The choice of swimsuit not only requires comfort, but also safety. In many sports scenes, clothing color can serve as a protective and warning function. How to choose colors for sportswear such as swimsuits? A professional organization conducted an experiment to study the impact of swimsuit color on children's safety. The experiment observed the visibility of different colored swimsuits on calm and wavy water surfaces in indoor swimming pools and outdoor lakes, and concluded that the fluorescent color scheme with strong contrast is the best swimsuit color in both indoor swimming pools and lake water. Fluorescent colors such as fluorescent orange, fluorescent green, fluorescent powder, and fluorescent red are more vibrant. Fluorescent swimsuits can improve children's visibility in water and help parents or safety personnel take care of children in water. White, light blue, and black are not recommended
