official journey ups and downs

Old Wei was familiar with the road, and when he arrived at Qi Tiancheng's house, his family was already waiting at the door.Qi Tiancheng was very enthusiastic, and held Wu Jiangkai's hand for a long time and refused to let go, so Wu Jiangkai had no choice but to greet him with a smiling face.

After entering the house, Shen Tong carefully observed the decoration and layout of the room, and couldn't help but compare it with that of the director of the National People's Congress Yang Guowen.Qi Tiancheng is a literati, and the decoration tends to be Chinese classical. There are calligraphy and paintings on the walls, various kinds of porcelain on the cabinets, the porch is hollowed out and carved, and the roof is also very uniquely painted with seals.Especially the black table in the corner, it looks like late autumn yellow pear wood to a knowledgeable person.

Looking at Yang Guowen's house again, there is neither foreign nor local, neither fish nor fowl. It has both Gothic architectural style and Chinese Ming and Qing architectural styles. It looks magnificent, but in fact it is messy. It is like a northeast iron pot stew, vegetables, meat and eggs. If you throw it in and stew it randomly, you will look like a vulgar person with no cultural background.

On the contrary, it is the home of He Yunchang, the richest man in Dongquan, and the decoration is quite elegant.Although He Yunchang has no culture, he is unambiguous at all in running a small family.According to Zhang Xiaoshi, deputy director of the County Party Committee Office, the decoration of He Yunchang's house, including the materials used, was hired from a well-known decoration company in the country, and Mr. Feng Shui was also invited to give special supervision and guidance.It is not unreasonable to look at a person's self-cultivation from external things.

Wu Jiangkai is also a cultural person, interested in traditional culture, history and folk customs.After entering the door, he praised Qi Tiancheng for his high taste in life, and picked up an incense burner from the table with great interest to admire it carefully.

Qi Tiancheng went over and introduced: "This is a high-quality imitation. I used it for my own enjoyment. Secretary Wu laughed at it."

Wu Jiangkai ignored Qi Tiancheng, looked left and right for a long time, not knowing what it was.Asked: "Chairman Qi, I only know that this is a cloisonné incense burner, how about this specifically? Tell me about it."

This is Qi Tiancheng's strong point.He introduced carefully: "This is a Yuan Dynasty cloisonné enamel elephant ear furnace with lotus patterns. Near the feet are decorated with red and white lotus petal patterns, and near the mouth are decorated with yellow, white, red and purple four-color chrysanthemums on a light blue glazed ground. There are 6 chrysanthemums in a circle. The decoration is elegant and magnificent, and the colors are pure and rich. The most valuable of this furnace The enamel is shiny and smooth, and some places are even as clear as glass. The overall shape of the furnace is also dignified and honest, which can be called a classic. It’s a pity that this is an imitation, and the original is now in the collection of the Palace Museum.”

What on earth does such a tongue-in-cheek name mean?Brief introduction.Cloisonne, also known as copper tire cloisonné enamel.In layman's terms, it is a magnificent and colorful arts and crafts made by attaching various colors of enamel to copper or bronze tires and firing them.Because it flourished in the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, and the pronunciation of "blue" and "lang" is similar, it is named "cloisonné".

Cloisonne, carved lacquer, jade, and ivory are known as the four famous handicrafts in the capital. They originated in the Yuan Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties.Because of its unique craftsmanship, it is loved by royal nobles.Its style is incompatible with traditional porcelain, and it is quite different. In fact, its formation has a certain relationship with ancient Persia.To put it bluntly, it is an "imported product".Some people say that it was brought back by Kublai Khan when he conquered the "Great Food" (that is, Persia), and some people passed it down from the Tang Dynasty.

The production process of cloisonne is complicated, and the color is gorgeous, the shape is changeable, and the output is extremely low, so the price is high.Under normal circumstances, only the palace can enjoy it.90.00% of what has been handed down from the outside world are fake.

Wu Jiangkai was very envious of Qi Tiancheng's leisurely study of these things. He gently put down the incense burner and said, "Old Qi, when I'm your age, if I can be half as good as you, I will be satisfied."

Qi Tiancheng said modestly: "Secretary Wu, I, Qi, am also a half-assed person. If you don't understand, you can understand a little bit, and if you understand it, you can't be good at it. It's just superficial. You are a person who does big things, so you can compare with me, don't you think so?" ? Shen Tong."

"Ah? Ah!" Shen Tong listened in a daze and was distracted. Qi Tiancheng asked suddenly, but didn't know how to answer, so he could only hum and yell.

Wu Jiangkai clapped his hands, and then looked at the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall. The four big characters of "Heaven rewards diligence" are vigorous and natural, and they are definitely top-notch works in the contemporary calligraphy field.Wu Jiangkai said: "Old Qi, when will you send me a picture, do you think it is? Don't be afraid, I will give you the finishing fee, haha."

"Secretary Wu, you are embarrassing me. Don't say a single word. I write as much as you want. This is how I earn my living. Isn't it easy to come by? But my words are not in the hall of elegance, which is an insult to you Audio-visual." Qi Tiancheng said.

Wu Jiangkai walked to the sofa and sat down, "Don't be humble with me. Who doesn't know that you are a great calligrapher. The Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee has personally met you. You can be regarded as a well-known figure in Dongjiang."

Qi Tiancheng wanted to continue to agree, but his wife ran out to remind him: "Secretary Wu, the food is ready, waiting for you to serve."

Wu Jiangkai sat up while leaning on the armrest of the sofa and said, "Okay, let's go eat, don't tell me, I'm really hungry."

There is a small room behind the living room, which is specially used by Qi Tiancheng to entertain relatives and friends.The three of them sat down, Qi Tiancheng brought out the best wine in his house, and honored the most noble guests in Dongquan County, of course he had to be willing to spend his money.

Wu Jiangkai waved his hand and said: "Don't open it, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't drink at noon."

Before Wu Jiangkai finished speaking, Qi Tiancheng had already got up.Seeing this, Wu Jiangkai said: "Okay, just drink three cups, not more, I really have something to do in the afternoon."

If it was anyone else, Qi Tiancheng would definitely straighten his neck, stare wide-eyed and never give in, but it was Wu Jiangkai in front of him, he didn't dare to persuade him to drink, so he had to give up.

The food is farm food, which is very appetizing to Wu Jiangkai, and he happily praised Qi Tiancheng's wife for her good cooking skills.During the meal, Wu Jiangkai raised the topic and said, "Old Qi, what do you think about developing West City?"

"Develop the West City?" Qi Tiancheng put down his chopsticks and said, "Well, I think it's pretty good. The county seat hasn't changed in decades, so it's time to clean it up. If I'm not wrong, Secretary Wu plans to develop the West City Come out and go back and rebuild the old city?"

Wu Jiangkai smiled without saying a word.

Qi Tiancheng suddenly called "Yes", and said: "Secretary Wu, no matter what project you do, I, Qi, will definitely support it with both hands. Besides, this is a popular project. I believe the people of Dongquan will strongly support it."

Wu Jiangkai nodded and said: "Every new thing and every social change will produce certain resistance. This is the development point of view in Marx's philosophy. The general trend of the development of new things is forward, but its development path is different. It is tortuous. It takes a certain process for ordinary people to accept new things, but in the long run, this is a great thing that benefits the people."
