The legend of cloth bags
According to folk legends, the play in the palm originated in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, Liang Binglin, a poor scholar in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, was on his way to Beijing to catch the exam. He passed by Yangzhou to spend the night in Dream Fairy and dreamed of three immortals of Fu Lushou. When he woke up the next day, he drew a sign as he pleased, saying, "Three articles entered the imperial court and won the third-class Jiawen. One day, when I saw my neighbor manipulating a puppet, I felt a little bit. I carved my own puppet, made it with my hand instead of silk, and played it in my palm to relieve my depression. I consulted many wild historical legends and wrote my own operas to perform in the village. Unexpectedly, it was a blockbuster, and the villagers rushed to invite me to perform it. Within a few years, it became famous in southern Fujian, and the drama in the palm of my hand came from this.
puppet making, the early puppet doll was "clay-sticky incense puppet", and its making method was as follows: first, it was made of clay, then it was cast into a mold with lead, and the mold was filled with a material made by kneading white powder with water and sawdust. After taking it out, it was dried in the shade for one or two days, and then it was dried in the sun for seven days until it was dry and hard. Then, paint the semi-finished clay figurine with a white background mixed with stone powder and resin, and let it dry completely in about five days, then spray paint and start painting faces. Usually, decent figures have gentle and smooth faces, while evil figures have exaggerated expressions and varied colors. Then, the hair transplant must be cut into a costume with a pattern imitating the Chinese opera with thick white cloth, and two painted black boots are stuck under it. Finally, weapons such as knives, swords or sticks are added, which is a clay-sticky puppet. Although the clay puppet is simple and light, as far as folk culture is concerned, it must be preserved.
the clay mold is formed and dried in the sun, and the puppet operation is needed to paint the face. In fact, the puppet operation is very simple. Put the index finger of the right hand into the head of the puppet, put the thumb of the middle finger into the sleeves respectively, and operate the puppet foot with the index finger and middle finger of the left hand, so that it can move freely at will. Whether it is a hero or a beautiful woman, it is all in the hands of the performer. The five fingers perform joy and sorrow, and the two hands perform it through the ages.
The puppets' shapes are vivid and full of childlike interest. The puppets' characters are expressed according to their shapes, voices and figures. In addition, the influence of folk stories is profound and there is a large room for fabrication. Therefore, they not only arouse the audience's emotions, but also play the role of developing the people's wisdom.
2. The historical development of plush toys. Who knows: 1. The historical development of plush toys. 2. Nowadays, cloth toys
It is said that there was a grocer who could be a tailor in a small town in the United States in the early 19th century.
One day, on a whim, he found some broken sheepskins and sewed them together to make a cute little bear. All the neighbors and neighborhoods loved it.
He had a brainwave. Isn't this a good way to make money? So he collected a lot of broken sheepskin and made a batch of toy bears. Put it in the store for sale.
He also named this little bear "Teddy". I didn't expect it to sell very well. From then on, after a long period of market operation, it evolved and later became popular in Europe.
Nowadays, teddy bears have become well-known traditional toys in Europe and America. Earlier, plush toys were limited in shape, just bears.
puppy. Toys such as kittens.
Over the centuries, not only has there been a great change in the reverse shape, but almost all animals in nature can be designed as plush toys, and from the original ornamental toys, they can walk today. Can move.
can talk. A plush toy that can sing.
In addition, there are many high-grade stuffed animals, which are large wild animals in the same proportion as real animals. You can see it in the toy store.
There is a company in Germany that specializes in designing and manufacturing high-end toys. STEIFF is an old professional plush toy manufacturer, which keeps the original style of returning to basics in the traditional reverse, and has great innovation in the appearance of fabrics.
its scale is not the largest, but in terms of brand awareness, it is unparalleled in the plush filling production industry. Of course, the sales price in its market is also staggering.
for example, the price of a 7-inch fluffy rabbit is as high as $7. However, the average company's nuclear price of this kind of variety with the same size is only $15 at most, and such a wide price difference is mainly due to the brand effect. 3. The history of teddy bears
There are many versions of legendary stories about the birth of teddy bears. As we all know, the origin of the name Teddy Bear is related to the 26th President of the United States, theodore roosevelt, and Roosevelt's nickname is Teddy. In the autumn of 192, the hunting-loving president hunted black bears along the Mississippi River, but he never got anything. The organizer noticed this situation and tied a captured little black bear to a tree for the president to shoot. But Roosevelt flatly refused. At that time, this rumor was painted as a satirical cartoon and published in * * *. After seeing the cute little bear in the cartoon, the old Russian couple Midham, who opened a grocery and fruit shop in new york, came up with the idea of sewing bear dolls. Because their bear dolls were well received, they later founded a creative toy company. This is the story of teddy bear's prosperity in America. 4. the history of Teddy Bear
teddy bear, translated into Chinese as teddy bear, should be called Roosevelt bear according to local American parlance.
Strictly speaking, our common stuffed bear toys are not really teddy bears. Just as cars have different shapes, specifications and brands, plush bears also have different brands, styles, appearances and even designers. It is impossible to represent all the bears with teddy bears. However, because teddy bears are so widely used, people often refer to all plush teddy bears as teddy bears.
In fact, plush teddy bears existed long before teddy bears appeared. Although at present, there is no direct evidence to prove the origin and origin of the earliest invention of teddy bears, as early as the end of the 19th century, there were traces of teddy bears.
In 188, the most popular toy in Berlin was a wooden bear standing on four wheels (on all fours is a toy car that can be pulled around). At the same time, a self-winding Drinking Bear (a wind-up bear toy) was also popular in local bars in Moscow, which can not only drink wine from a wine bottle, but also smoke and dance. In 1893, Steiff, the most famous teddy bear manufacturing company, also made some vertical non-Muppet bear toys with chains embedded in their noses. However, these teddy bears, which have not been baptized for more than 1 years, appeared in a realistic image, which is not only realistic in vision, but also heavy and hard in touch. It will take a long time to develop into a plush bear with rotatable limbs.
In fact, teddy bear was originally an independent proper term. The most correct statement should be that only bears made between 193 and 1912 before World War I, that is, during the term of President Roosevelt, can be called teddy bears. The teddy bear born in 193 originated from President Roosevelt's passion for bears and its popularity at that time. It can be said that it is the old ancestor of the stuffed bear now.
It has a plump figure and limbs, fluffy and warm Angora wool, simple materials and embroidery thread, simple and honest expression, and 1% hand sewing and stuffing work. Whether it comes from the United States or Europe, the spirit left over from ancient times still exists today.
But these real teddy bears, even the so-called antique bears, are rare now. Only in books, museums or collectors' homes can we get a glimpse of their true colors. However, these teddy bears, which will never return, have been revived under the current retro trend and historical nostalgia, as well as the concept of auction and collectors' preservation. There have been manufacturers re-opening the mold to imitate the replica bears at that time, or deliberately imitating the retro bear toys of the old days.
STEIFF teddy bear introduces Margaret. Ms. Steiff was born in the southern German town of Giengen in 1847. She unfortunately suffered from polio when she was one and a half years old. Since then, she was destined to spend her life in a wheelchair, but she did not defeat this lively and optimistic little girl. In 1879, she founded her own flannel clothing store. In December, 1879, in a magazine named "Modewelt", Ms. Margaret found a version of a toy elephant. She tried to make some for her friends. Because of the high praise, in 1883, she gradually developed a small group of plush animals and added them to the original catalogue of clothing exhibits.
Steiff was officially registered on March 3, 1893. At that time, its turnover was 4, yuan, and its working partner had four employees. In 1897, with the help of her brother (Fritz), the number of employees increased to 1, and the annual turnover increased to 9, yuan. In 1894, Steiff officially entered the exhibition, and the addition of Fritz's son, -Rihard, opened a new page for Steiff. According to his sketches in Stuttgart Zoo, he designed bears and monkeys with movable hands and feet. With these new products, he participated in the Lipzke exhibition in the United States, and almost no one was interested at first.
At the end of the exhibition, a buyer from the United States, Hermannberg, represented Geobfledt &; Co., Ltd., interested in this innovative product, ordered 3 teddy bears on the spot. Unfortunately, these historic landmarks have been unable to be found. In 192, because of an anecdote of American President Roosevelt, the fluffy Teddy bear was given a real name "Teddy Bear", which made the Steiff bears craze sweep all over the United States and spread it to the whole world.
We have manufactured nearly 1 million Steiff teddy bears every year and sold them all over the world! The registered trademark of Steiff is the button on the left ear. Steiff's earliest Logo is an S that is "deformed" by the elephant trunk. Later, due to the imitation of competitors, Margaret took a whim to use a button as the Logo, which was originally just a blank button. In 194, with elaborate patterns, this button also symbolizes that the bear passed the quality control. Interestingly, When Steiff applied for a patent in Germany, he didn't apply directly with this button, but registered with the word "Button in ear". Look carefully at the side label of the ear buckle, which also has this line. On the other hand, it is also a gold ear buckle, but it can also be divided into three types according to the label: red letters on white background, black characters on white background and yellow labels to indicate different meanings.
yellow label:-non-* * production: the serial number of the product is indicated on the front, and the ingredients of the manufacturing materials are indicated on the back. Red label on white background: * * * production (for a certain purpose, theme, festival, country, allusions, commemorative bear products launched by enterprises) indicates the serial number of the product on the front, while the back is marked with * * * production year, * * * quantity issued and the name of the bear.
general properties can be divided into two types: one is designed and manufactured in cooperation with well-known enterprises. For example, in 1999, Golden Ear Buckle cooperated with Swiss Triangle Chocolate to design a teddy bear, and the teddy bear held the Swiss Triangle Chocolate, and the commemorative bear launched in cooperation with Coca-Cola, the latest teddy bear racing group launched with Mercedes Benz in 2, Disney cartoon characters and other well-known international brands.
The other is the agents in different regions of Golden Ear Buckle, which can be based on their countries or places every year. 5. The history of dinosaur family
After the running dinosaurs printed fossils, Alexander judged that many large sauropods with four legs were really slow-moving "idiots", and their walking speed was only about 1 meter per second, which was similar to the walking speed of human beings. The footprints of large bipedal dinosaurs showed that their walking speed was generally no more than 2.2 meters per second, which was similar to the speed when human beings walked quickly. Those smaller ones, The footprints of bipedal dinosaurs weighing about 5 kilograms (similar to the size of a horse race) show that they can run at a speed of 12 meters per second, which has exceeded the highest speed of human 1-meter race champions (11 meters per second), but it is still much lower than the running speed of horse races (about 15 to 17 meters per second). Chiropters lived in the Cretaceous and their bones were found in Europe. Chiropters were not very big. Its wings are only about 22 centimeters long. But the wings of Fengshen pterosaur are as long as 12 meters, which is as big as a bus. American scientists once found a pterosaur with wings more than 15 meters long. If we can see it today, we might think it is an airplane flying in the sky. Many flying birds and dragons are somewhat like bats today. They seem to hold up huge wings with one hand, so, Having wings and claws has become a major feature of them. Some people think that later birds evolved from them. Scientists have different understandings about how pterosaurs flew into the sky. Some people think that those giant pterosaurs can't fly at all. They can't vibrate their wings like birds, but they can climb to high places first and spread their huge wings in the wind, so that they can glide in the air with the help of updraft. Others think that, The membrane on pterosaurs' wings is very hard, and the outer side of the wings is connected with bones and muscles like a frame, so they can flap their wings like birds. Because their wings are very big, they can get a huge reaction force with a little flapping, making them fly. Eelgarosaurus is a kind of plesiosaur, and their fossils have been found in Japan. After measurement, their body length is about 7. 8 meters. And they have sharp teeth. Triceratops Triceratops is a kind of ceratosaurus. It has a horn on its nose, like a rhinoceros, and two horns on its eyes, like a cow. These three horns are all 1 meter long, which is a powerful weapon for them to fight. Lei Long Lei Long is the largest dinosaur, some of which are over 3 meters long and as high as 6 floors. They are all herbivores or leaves. We saw them in the museum. Most of them are this kind of dinosaurs. Allosaurus is a fierce and terrible carnivorous dinosaur. Its big mouth can swallow a pig at once. Its teeth are all bent inward, and its prey can't escape if it bites it. Data Dinosaur _ _ _ _ _ _ The scene of the dinosaur era Dinosaurs lived on the earth for 15 thousand years. During such a long time, the environment of the earth has also changed a lot. Pangu was originally connected into a whole piece.
