As far as the finger part is concerned, from modification to gluing, Zhou Yi has done it back and forth for more than seven or eight times. It took a whole week from the finger part to the completion, and the palace lantern adopted the traditional sugar blowing process in China. This almost goes beyond the traditional cognitive concept and makes us believe in the power of traditional crafts in modern society.
At first glance, this work of Zhouyi may be regarded as a beautifully made Barbie doll, and it is difficult for anyone to associate it with cakes. This cake is the work of the Dai people, and the characters are three-dimensional and realistic. Eyelashes, hair, golden hair clips, pink court crystal lip gloss, vivid pupil light and shadow; It seems that the hair is unreal, and the clothes as thin as paper gauze are amazing; And those palace lanterns and Wan Wen with vivid workmanship, which are amazing, quite amazing.
The second cake work: A beautiful woman in China costume is lying on the ground. This prone beauty wears a bunch of pink flowers on her head. If you look closely, you can see the fine lines on these flowers, which are lifelike and fascinating.
The background around this China beauty in ancient costume is auspicious clouds and dragons. In traditional cognition, background decoration is only to set off the theme of the work, which is easily overlooked. But in this work, we can see the unique charm, which looks the same as the real thing, making the three-dimensional sense of the whole work more prominent and giving people more perfect visual enjoyment.
But this cake won the bronze medal. Why? The name of this cake is: Drunken Sleep and Forget Worry Town, which is exquisite and unusual. However, because the production of the lake water used sugar-pulling technology, it was almost judged illegal and was disqualified. Fortunately, this cake is so exquisite that all the international judges don't agree to deal with it illegally, but take it to another group of competitions as an exception.
Although I only won a bronze award in the end, I have to say that the exquisiteness of this work is beyond the competition level. Zhouyi, the sugar king, tells the world with practical actions that the traditional crafts of China will not be eliminated because of the development of the times, but will bloom with its own unique height.
Adhere to self
Zhouyi, the sugar king, was born in 1983. Graduated from Sichuan Cuisine College, he was awarded the title of "Tianfu Master", a master of food carving, a master of sugar pulling, a master of fondant cake, I am the founder of Chef College, a best-selling author and so on. Before he became famous, he was not a master praised by everyone. On the contrary, it has been questioned and criticized by many people because it is too keen on this technology.
Many people think that he is no longer young and should compromise with secular life, instead of giving up the material things in life because of love. However, Zhouyi's life experience proves that mastering a technology may make us gain money and wealth, but we will eventually get bored, and Zhouyi, the king of sugar, will eventually run counter to most people.
In the face of difficulties in life, Zhouyi always has the courage to work harder to overcome all difficulties. Many people only see the exquisite cakes made by Zhouyi and the clothes with the same yarn on them, but they don't see the sweat and hard work that Zhouyi and his team put into making these works.
When Zhou Yi participated in the English cake contest, she slept less than three hours a day for more than a week. All her efforts were just to finish a better work. Pay and return are always in direct proportion. He won an unprecedented victory in that competition and almost won the highest prize in this competition. The referee said that his level of fondant cake far exceeded the previous competition. This is undoubtedly a reward higher than the victory of the competition, and it is also an affirmation of the traditional culture brought by Zhouyi to China.
The birth of China sugar king Zhou Yi, his success is not accidental. On the contrary, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. The success of Zhouyi is just like the success of thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian. He has no talent, but he has a heart of continuous efforts. So we should believe in the power of hard work.
Now he has succeeded. He is regarded as one of the most talented artists not only in China, but also in the world. His technique of using traditional fondant technology has almost reached an unparalleled level, which has found a new bright spot for China's traditional craft.
Sometimes once a person becomes famous, he will always swell up, get carried away and even become ignorant. However, Zhouyi has always maintained its true colors. After he became famous, he didn't significantly increase the price of the goods he sold, but it was as cheap as ever. Because of this, he also has a large number of fans on the Internet.
In order to inherit the craft and develop his own sugar-turning craft, Zhouyi, the sugar king, began to use his fame and reputation to open a sculpture school. He plans to spread China's traditional sculpture techniques to the whole world. China Sugar King used his limited strength to publicize the traditional crafts of thousands of years, making the tradition glow with the elegance of the times, which is worthy of our admiration.
