Several artistic young people established the "Leizhou Pipe Tribe" and regarded making handmade pipes as art. They accidentally became famous and became popular among domestic pipe smokers. They produced the largest volume of handmade pipes in the country. , even Qian Wenzhong, a professor at Fudan University, is their fan, collects their pipes, and even makes a special trip to visit them. The "Leizhou Pipe Tribe", an upstart among the major pipe websites, also has simple dreams: "Just as the mention of purple sand reminds people of Yixing, from now on, when others talk about pipes, they will think of Leizhou." "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are rivers and lakes. There are struggles in the arena. If you want to survive in the arena, you may be crushed to death if you fight alone. If you want to be proud of the arena, you must develop as a team, and you must first make a big impact. People can make dozens of pipes a year at most. If a group makes thousands of pipes a year, it can influence the entire pipe smoking community in China. " "The significance and value of the Leizhou group goes beyond pipe smoking, this kind of art group. The model and spirit are lacking in the Chinese people, and it has demonstration significance in cultural history. "Pipes are imported and have a history of hundreds of years abroad, but the emergence of Chinese pipe masters has only been in a few years, and they are mainly concentrated in Beijing and Shanghai. Metropolis. How did a pipe with a strong urban atmosphere and a group of remote Leizhou artistic youths come together? The story starts from 8 years ago. At that time, Chen Cancong, who graduated from the Art Education Department of Zhan Normal University, returned to Leizhou No. 2 Middle School as an art teacher. He was optimistic and playful by nature and showed a strong interest in all beautiful things. Once, he saw a mahogany pipe at a friend's house. As an old smoker, he fell in love with the exquisite and sexy shape of the pipe at first sight. Soon, he bought several pipes while traveling in East China. He smoked them while studying them, and soon the pipes were broken. "There is a big difference between smoking a pipe and smoking cigarettes. The former must have time and leisure time to smoke, and it must be smoldering with a cold fire. Otherwise, it will either fail to light or the pipe will be burned out quickly." Chen Cancong felt sorry for him After all, pipes and tobacco are not cheap, and for a teacher like him whose monthly salary is over a thousand, it is a huge expense. At this time, he had fallen in love with the feeling of smoking a pipe: a pipe of smoke, a spark of fire, the tacit understanding that people and pipes become one, like old friends, caring but not disturbing. He thought: Can he make his own pipes and make pipes to support his pipes? 1) Cold fire and smoldering. At that time, Chen Cancong was running a Taobao store in his spare time. He saw that some domestic fighting masters were making immature fighting machines, but they were selling for hundreds of yuan, which was enough to cover more than half of his salary. He thought that since he graduated with an art major and had strong hands-on skills, he should be able to do better. He bought books about pipe smoking, communicated and learned with pipe masters on the pipe smoking website, and experimented by himself. When there was no briar, he used ordinary wood, and when there was no machinery, he used saws and files. Time flies and it’s 2009 in a blink of an eye. When he learned that the first Chinese Pipe Exhibition was held in Haikou, he casually took a dozen of his handmade pipes across the Qiongzhou Strait. Later he found out that he was one of the two pipe smokers from China participating in the exhibition! The remaining 20 or so are all foreign pipe masters. "This trip is really worth it!" The face-to-face communication with international pipe masters was really enlightening! To this day, he still has a video of him asking the master for advice. In the video, he looks like a humble and studious student, listening carefully to the master's instructions. After that, his passion for making pipes became overwhelming. In order to raise money to buy a lathe, he transferred his studio. 2) Team up to survive. Chen Cancong’s pipes always cause a lot of noise on the forum, with more and more followers. However, his simple enthusiasm touched the sensitive nerves of some people, which was followed by criticism and abuse. Because he was unwilling to compromise, he was even "blocked". "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights." Chen Cancong realized that if he wanted to survive in the "jiangs and lakes", he might be crushed to death at any time if he fought alone. If he wanted to be proud of the rivers and lakes, We must work together to develop. We must first increase the volume and make an impact. To make a certain amount, we must develop as a team. "One person can make dozens of pipes a year at most. If a group is doing it, they can make thousands of pipes a year, which is enough to influence the entire pipe smoking community in China." This was Chen Cancong's original idea.

He decided to set up his own school, summoned several young art teachers in the school, taught them how to make pipes, and imparted his experience and techniques gained from many years of research and exploration without reservation. This special team has a very simple name: Leizhou Pipe Tribe. Behind the name, there is the responsibility of being a Leizhou native. "Once, a foreign netizen asked me what specialties Leizhou has. Stone dogs? Fruits? Or seafood? I couldn't answer at the moment." Chen Cancong said that Leizhou is an important place in the south of the world and a famous historical city, but there is no famous brand. Based on this reluctance, the pipe masters discussed: Let’s call the Leizhou Pipe Tribe, focus on making handmade pipes, and make the pipes a distinctive brand of Leizhou. “Just like the mention of purple sand reminds people of Yixing, from now on, when others talk about pipes, they will think of it.” "Leizhou." Every fighting master in the "Leizhou tribe" is codenamed Lei, such as Leizhou Chen, Leizhou Huangu, Leizhou Liang, Leizhou Zheng, Lei Luan, Lei Hu, Lei Neng..., fighting master The pipes produced will be laser-marked with the word "雷" and marked with their own serial numbers. Once quality problems are discovered, they can be traced based on the serial numbers. Every pipe must be inspected for quality by "chief" Chen Cancong before being handed over to the pipe customer. Group development is a double-edged sword, which can lead to both prosperity and destruction. Therefore, it is the common sense of every fighting master to control the quality of each fighting team. 2015-06-13 13:04:40 Supplement: 3. Strive for excellence A handmade briar wood pipe costs hundreds to thousands of yuan. Briar wood is produced in the Mediterranean region and imported from foreign countries. The cost of raw materials alone is more than 600 yuan. Payment must be made one year in advance, and the goods must be stored for a period of time after they return. In the hands of a bucket master, it needs to go through nearly a hundred processes such as drawing and design, sawing, filing, grinding, dyeing, and polishing, etc., which consumes a lot of energy and time. The biggest difference between a handmade pipe and a finished pipe is that the handmade pipe implements the pipemaker's design philosophy and pays attention to every detail. In the workshop in the corridor, there is a pile of sandpaper. Chen Cancong said that the polishing process tests one's patience. As for the more detailed polishing of the cigarette holder, 1,000-grit sandpaper is needed. Generally speaking, it takes two or three days to complete a traditional fight, and it will take longer to do some more complicated free fights. 2015-06-13 13:04:55 Supplement: The "Leizhou Pipe Tribe" has now grown to 9 members, most of whom are born in the 1980s. Except for Lei Neng, who is a mechanic, the rest are college students who graduated from art majors. Solid art skills laid the foundation for them to turn pipes into works of art. In their spare time, the tribal fighting masters gathered in Chen Cancong's studio to study, communicate and discuss. They have established their own micro-groups and pipe blogs, and communicate every day in forums and Q groups to see who has taken orders, who has new works, who has new experiences, and everyone can communicate and make progress together. 2015-06-13 13:05:15 Supplement: Every fighting master will almost inevitably make mistakes of one kind or another when he first learns, resulting in a waste of materials and economic losses. In Chen Cancong's studio, there are many unfinished pipes lying aside. These pipes were either put aside because the materials had sand holes or there were some errors in the production. The material is so expensive, why is it so wasted? Chen Cancong said that it is precisely because making a pipe requires a lot of energy and time

So

Once there are irreparable flaws, it can only be shelved. "We always hope that every time Every bucket is a perfect work of art that can withstand the test of time and repeated play." These flawed buckets are placed in the studio, like warnings, reminding the bucket master to wake up and strive for excellence to avoid repeating mistakes. 2015-06-13 13:06:02 Supplement: 4. The nobleman Qian Wenzhong poured a lot of passion and inspiration into the handmade pipes of the pipe masters. Of course, he also endowed them with spirituality and personality, making them unique. "If it is specially customized for pipe customers, The fighting shape and color must be determined based on their personality and occupation, and there are even more things to pay attention to," Chen Cancong said. Since hand-made pipes are time-consuming and the output is small, although Chen has accumulated six years of experience in smoking pipes, he can only make sixty or seventy pipes in a year.

As the "Leizhou Pipe Tribe" produces more and more pipes, they have more and more fans. Their popularity is snowballing and their orders are already scheduled for next year. Among them, Professor Qian Wenzhong of Fudan University is the "elite" of the "Leizhou Pipe Tribe". 2015-06-13 13:06:49 Supplement: Qian Wenzhong is a disciple of Ji Xianlin and became a public figure after appearing on the "Lecture Forum". This professor with extensive knowledge was originally a pipe smoking enthusiast. He has paid attention to the "Leizhou Pipe Tribe" for a long time and spoke highly of the pipes produced by the tribe. He believes that the exquisite workmanship, humanized design and practicality of the pipes produced by the "Leizhou Pipe Tribe" are no less than those of major international brands. What interests him even more is the form of group exploration by the "Leizhou Pipe Tribe". He believes this is a new cultural phenomenon worthy of study. Qian Wenzhong's high praise for the Leizhou Pipe Smoking Tribe once again caused waves in the pipe smoking industry, attracting countless adversaries. He laughed it off, but every time he slapped bricks, the Leizhou Pipe Tribe became angry. In order to express gratitude to this public figure, on Qian Wenzhong’s birthday in June, each pipe master of the Leizhou Pipe Tribe specially customized a pipe for Mr. Qian as a birthday gift. 2015-06-13 13:07:31 Supplement: There are also waves of fighting customers who come here in droves. These fighting customers from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places include business elites, cultural celebrities, and listed companies. Senior executives, media and public figures... They traveled thousands of miles to Leizhou to visit Chen Cancong's humble home. The warm and hospitable Chen Cancong and his wife hit it off with everyone. They drank tea and smoked pipes and had a great conversation. They also brought changes to the lives and perspectives of the pipe masters of the "Leizhou Pipe Tribe". Among the visitors, some came specifically to study and exchange, and some came to discuss cooperation. Some pipe clubs and domestic pipe dealers extended an "olive branch" to the Leizhou tribe, hoping to purchase all the pipes produced by the tribe, or to OEM them for international brands. These requests were politely declined. 2015-06-13 13:07:44 Added: "We want to build our own brand and make it a well-known brand in Leizhou." The tribal fighting masters have a clear understanding of this. "Thunder Tiger"'s pipes are exquisitely made and creative, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to take orders. "I hope I can lay a more solid foundation and make some free pipes that I can use at my own discretion in the future. Although every time When a bucket type comes out, there are many bucket customers pre-ordering it, but he only takes a few buckets. He said: "Only by making a few buckets of each bucket type in succession can we better grasp its characteristics, but it is inevitably boring to make the same bucket type all the time. "So, after mastering a certain bucket type, he will let himself rest for a while until he has a better idea, or directly try a new bucket type. "Just like smoking a pipe is a very 'unique' enjoyment, making a pipe is the same. Making the pipe you want according to your own wishes is a process we enjoy." Chen Cancong said.
