Episode 10

Zazao decided to make museum porcelain for the fifth issue. Yuan Jiaying assisted Tao Tang to shoot the inheritance of porcelain in the past dynasties and the daily work of ancient porcelain restorers with the theme of Tang Sancai. Yu Zazao led Team B to the home of Yang Wan, a famous antique porcelain artist. Yang Wan was silent and immersed in her own art world. Her husband Xiao Hong took good care of his wife and knew every piece of his wife’s works like the back of his hand. Yu Zazao accidentally discovers a mysterious attic in the Yang family, but Xiao Hong stops him when he tries to open the door. Fortunately, Tao Tang shows up in time to explain to Yu Zazao, and Xiao Hong agrees to continue filming. Yu Zaizao pointed out that there is a huge difference in the style of Yang Wan’s works. Xiao Hong told Yu Zaizao that Yang Wan has a twin sister, Yang Xuan. Both sisters are very good at making porcelain, but their styles are very different. Ru kiln is shiny and pure, while the Jun kiln made by sister Yang Wan is luxurious and elegant. However, her younger sister Yang Xuan died unexpectedly, and Yang Wan suffered a very heavy blow. In order to commemorate her sister, Yang Wan turned to study Ru kiln.

Episode 11

On the other hand, Wen Zhou, the host invited by the program group, was intercepted, causing Yuan Jiaying, who was going to film Tang Sancai porcelain, to open the skylight. Yu Zaizao said that even if Wang Xining was injured, she could still shoot perfectly. Wang Xining was injured on her right face and leg, so she asked her to sit quietly, and told the story of Emperor Cheng Hua, Zhu Jianshen and the Chicken Crock Cup in one scene. The email of the restored photo was sent, and the photos of Hang Sharong were displayed inch by inch on the computer. Yu Zazao looked at the group photo of Hang Sharong and the sisters of the Yang family, and fell into deep thought. Yuan Jiaying thought that the latest issue of porcelain was well received, and proposed to make a sequel, which was opposed by everyone. Seeing the ancient murals and photos of pottery figurines brought by Tao Tang, Yu Zazao decided to overthrow Yuan’s idea and turn to classical dance restoration. Tao Tang introduced the Guofeng Song and Dance Troupe, which is working with Su Bo to restore the classical dance of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and Lu Feiyu, the chief dancer of the dance troupe, agreed to be interviewed. But when she saw the fish in the water, she suddenly changed her mind and told everyone that she would never cooperate with someone who had no sense of responsibility. At this time, everyone knew that Yu Zazao and Lu Feiyu had studied under the same famous dancer Feng Yunying.

Episode 12

Yu Zaizao suddenly disappeared, and everyone thought she was devastated. The show was in danger of being opened up, so Yuan Jiaying asked her to film it first. Just when the show was at an impasse, Feng Yunying, who was supposed to be gathering in Dunhuang, returned unexpectedly, and Lu Feiyu was both surprised and delighted. Feng Yunying told the truth to Lu Feiyu. It turned out that Lu Feiyu and Yu Zazao were the most important things to her back then. However, Yu Zazao’s insensitivity to the emotions around her affected her shaping of dance drama characters, and she would never be able to become a qualified dance artist. . In order to train Lu Feiyu wholeheartedly, and to allow Yu Zazao to open her heart and gain emotional experience, she encourages Yu Zazao to accept the “pursuit” of psychologist Ye Fujun. This move greatly stimulated Lu Feiyu, who also admired Dr. Ye, and caused the dance troupe to fall apart. In order to further make Lu Feiyu feel the pain, Feng Yunying gave corner A to Yu Zazao and asked Lu Feiyu to jump corner B. This incident was known to Fei Yu’s male partner Xie Hui. In order to teach Yu Zazao a lesson, he intentionally made an accident when throwing Yu Zazao high during training, causing Yu Zazao to fall directly to the ground and fracture his tail vertebrae. After the incident, Professor Feng felt deeply guilty, and Yu Wangqing took Yu Zazao away in a fit of anger. In order to protect Lu Feiyu, Feng Yunying concealed the truth of the incident, and only said that Yu Zazao gave up dancing after being injured. Lu Feiyu thought that Yu Zazao had broken her promise to learn dance all her life, and developed hatred for her.

Episode 13

Knowing the truth, Lu Feiyu felt regretful and heartbroken, and immediately agreed to participate in the filming of the variety show. During the filming of the program group, Lu Feiyu led the students to dance the Dunhuang dance that had been choreographed, which amazed everyone. However, Lu Feiyu fell to the ground due to severe lumbar muscle strain. Fortunately, Yu Zazao had already seen the clue and invited an acupuncture expert in advance. Lu Feiyu had to rest to ease the pain in her body, which meant no time for rehearsals for her solo performance. In addition, Yu Zazao also readjusted the ending of the dance. Gu Shiyong couldn’t help feeling worried, but Yu Zazao and Lu Feiyu were full of confidence. Lu Feiyu’s solo recording was very successful. Fang Quan, the producer of “Intangible Cultural Heritage” who was waiting for Lu Feiyu’s appearance, learned that his plan had failed. Zao’s victory doll, blood pressure soared. After the performance, Lu Feiyu reached out and hugged Yu Zazao. Feng Yunying formally apologizes to Yu Zazao, but Yu Zazao doesn’t understand why the teacher is crying.

In the end, “Inheritance” stood out from many homogeneous programs and became a great success. Yu Zazao also successfully healed his soul and gained a complete friendship and career..

Episode 6

Yu Zaizao tried to propose to the company to make Qing Dynasty court women’s clothing, but Yuan Jiaying took the lead unexpectedly. Under the recommendation of Wang Xining, Yuan Jiaying found a master chef of Shanghai cheongsam with exquisite craftsmanship, and made a series of perfect arrangements from the evolution of qipao to cheongsam. In the museum, Tao Tang and Yuan Jiaying had a conflict of ideas. Tao Tang found that the exhibits in the exhibition hall were not only Qing Dynasty costumes. He proposed to make a special edition of Ming and Qing costumes to let the audience understand Chinese women’s costumes more comprehensively. Yuan Jiaying thought that The gowns of concubines of the Qing Dynasty are the most well-known to the public and are more conducive to overseas distribution. It is difficult for the two to agree. On the other side of the shooting scene of Group B, the cheongsam master Liu Shifu was not good at speaking, and the shooting was once deadlocked. Unable to dig out valuable stories from him, Yu Zazao ran into difficulties for the first time. In order to ensure the hit rate, Yuan Jiaying made up a shooting plan and prepared to fabricate a dramatic story to create highlights, but Yu Zazao flatly rejected it. After Yu Zaizao refused to shoot, Yuan Jiaying took the lead alone and took charge of directing two groups of shoots at the same time. But Master Liu was unwilling to tell the fabricated story according to Yuan Jiaying’s script.

Episode 7

Yuan Jiaying turned to seek Wang Xining’s help. After hard work, the two finally discovered the emotional story behind Master Liu. Yu Zazao was about to lose, but he had a flash of inspiration under Tao Tang’s deliberate suggestion. Gu Shiyong saw the magnificent stage prepared by Yu Zazao, but he didn’t know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. He was afraid of investing in bamboo baskets to fetch water, so he became anxious for a while. Yu Zaizao decided to ask Shu Rong to help, with the theme of Chinese women’s clothing, to reproduce the evolution of Chinese women’s makeup and clothing in the past dynasties. The women in costumes of different dynasties are graceful and charming, with elegant steps, as if they have stepped out of ancient paintings. With the help of Tao Tang, the mighty Zhonghua Yiguanxiu surpassed the sensational emotional story in one fell swoop, winning applause from all the halls and making Yuan Jiaying lose face. At the cheongsam display scene, Yu Zazao put on a cheongsam and looked more and more graceful. This scene deeply moved Gu Shiyong. Yuan Jiaying had the idea of ​​resigning because of her loss to Yu Zazao, Gu Shiyong persuaded her to stay, and Yuan Jiaying stayed for the sake of the overall situation. A program called “Intangible Cultural Relics” was born out of nowhere. The location and content of the program were very similar to “Inheritance”. Everyone couldn’t help worrying about the fate of “Inheritance”.

Episode 8

Hearing that Master Li declined the interview, everyone was extremely annoyed. Yu Zaizao proposed a replacement plan and interviewed another jade carving master, but Wang Xining refused. The two disagreed, and Wang Xining was not happy. Gu Shiyong was very dissatisfied with Yu Zazao’s behavior of offending Wang Xining, but Yu Zazao didn’t care about Gu’s preaching at all, and went to Wang Xining to reconcile with a smile on his face. Wang Xining was ridiculed by the popular host Wan Sihua and the opposite producer Fang Quan, but he still kept his expression unchanged and insisted on staying for the filming. In the middle of the night, the entire film crew worked overtime to discuss, and Yuan Jiaying, who got the news, came to help. Yuan Jiaying arranged an interview plan for another jade carving master, Master Wang, and asked everyone to go to the studio to shoot the next morning, and she herself will go directly to Yunnan to find Master Wang who is on a business trip to complete the personal interview part. Yu Zaizao bluntly said that such a shooting plan could not win, Yuan Jiaying chased Yu Zaizao, and the two accidentally saw Wang Xining silently meeting with her biological son in the corridor. Seeing this scene, Yuan Jiaying reminded Yu Zazao to keep a safe distance from his colleagues, and Yu Zazao didn’t take it seriously at all.

Episode 9

Yu Zaoli invites Tao Tang to act in a play, although Tao Tang is reluctant but still bites the bullet and makes a guest appearance. The tense Tao Tang forgot his words one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene was tense. With the encouragement of the director and the support of Yu Zaozao, Tao Tang is getting better. In the end, Yu Zaizao successfully reproduced the legend of Baoyu in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which surprised Gu Shiyong, and Tao Tang’s acting skills also won unanimous praise from everyone. The new issue of “Inheritance” was successfully launched and received great acclaim. Fang Quan, the producer of “Intangible Cultural Heritage”, vowed to make Gu Shiyong’s team look good. Tao Tang took the opportunity to teach Yu Zaizao that he should respect the hard work and hard work of every ordinary person in the crew, and live in harmony with Yuan Jiaying. Wang Xining was almost involved in a traffic accident, and his face and legs were injured to varying degrees. Everyone from the program team came to the hospital to visit, but found a familiar figure from behind, which turned out to be Mu Zongyun holding flowers. Director Mu was embarrassed and refused to admit himself Worrying about Wang Xining was clear to everyone and couldn’t help laughing. Everyone thought Wang Xining’s car accident was an accident, only Yu Zazao firmly believed that it was related to the divorce case.

On the new working day, Yuan Jiaying, a gold-medal choreographer hired by Gu Shiyong with a lot of money, made his debut. The two hadn’t started their confrontation yet, but Yu Zazao became an assistant to the choreographer, assisting Yuan’s work. Yuan Jiaying misunderstood that Yu Zazao was an ordinary assistant, and ordered her to collect basic information on Kesi, and to do errands, print and order meals. Tao Tang thought that Gu Shiyong was extremely harsh, so Gu Shiyong launched an investigation report on Yu Zazao. Yu Zazao’s mother died young, and his father who was heavily indebted and his well-off aunt Yu Wangqing fought endlessly for custody. Yu Zazao still grew up with his aunt, Gu Shiyong believed that Yu Zazao had an impure heart, Tao Tang did not agree with Gu Shiyong’s point of view. Tao Tang vaguely noticed that Yu Zazao was different from ordinary people, so he began to investigate quietly. Gu Shiyong and Yuan Jiaying have a good friendship. After receiving Gu Shiyong’s call, Yuan Jiaying dropped everything and rushed here, full of confidence in joining this time. Father Gu cared about Yu Zazao’s daily life, and invited her to have dinner with Gu Shiyong and Yu Wangqing. Gu Shiyong suggested that Yu Zazao should file a complaint with Gu’s father, or resign from the company altogether. Unexpectedly, Yu Zazao rebelled against the army, but Gu Shiyong agreed on the spot to let Yu Zazao become the director of Group B. Gu’s father misunderstood that the two got along well, and Gu Shiyong became more disgusted, and even left him on the road halfway.

Episode 4

Knowing that Yu Zaizao wanted to win, Tao Tang cleverly used Kesi works to make Lin Shangying open up the chatterbox and tell the life secrets of the five generations of women in the Lin family. Lin Shangying’s great-grandmother, Lin Zhangxiu, was born in the Guangxu period. Her “Kaixiu color-mixing method” brought Kesi works to life. Lin Zhangxiu, who never married in her life, adopted a little girl, Lin Shangying’s grandmother Lin Qifeng. Sixteen-year-old Lin Qifeng is married. However, in the era of frequent wars, the husband had to leave his wife and go to the battlefield. Lin Qifeng cuts silk day after day, pinning her thoughts on her husband on every stitch and thread. The little girl next door looked at Lin Qifeng Kesi secretly, hoping that she would become her own mother, and finally got her wish. However, it was not until Lin Qifeng died that the little girl told Lin Qifeng a secret that had been hidden for decades, that is, Lin Qifeng’s husband had come to the old site to look for her after returning from the battlefield, but the little girl told Lin Qifeng Man, Lin Qifeng remarried, and this lying little girl is Lin Shangying’s mother, Lin Xuexin. Grandma Lin Qifeng didn’t blame Lin Xuexin, but passed the loom to her, hoping that one day she would be able to complete the double-sided tapestry. And Lin Shangying is not Lin Haishan’s biological mother. When going abroad in the 1980s, Haishan’s biological mother entrusted Haishan to Lin Shangying, and Lin Shangying exhausted all her efforts to train Haishan. The stories of the five generations portray a vivid picture of the times. The persistence of several women in Kesi art is moving, and their fate is also moving.

Episode 5

After the second episode of the show was broadcast, it received a lot of praise, and the popularity soared. Everyone attended the celebration banquet together, but Yu Zazao was absent. As Yu Zazao was the director of the program, Gu Shiyong did not sign her name, which completely angered Yu Zazao. Just when she was pressing Yuan Jiaying, she was stopped by Tao Tang in time. Tao Tang decided to restrain Yu Zazao’s behavior, but sought justice for her and got the right to sign. Shu Rong has a restrained personality, is used to digesting all emotions by herself, and seldom confides her heart to those around her. The shadows of her childhood and the pressure after work surrounded Shu Rong repeatedly, making her breathless. But the ex-boyfriend who once hurt Shu Rong reappeared and entangled her. Shu Rong tried to ask for help from the people around her, but she lacked the courage and was almost cornered. Fortunately, Yu Zao saw the clue. In the middle of the night, Shu Rong stays alone in the office to work overtime, but is harassed by her ex-boyfriend again. Shu Rong is terrified but doesn’t know how to resist. Fortunately, Yu Zazao appears in time to stun the assailant and save Shu Rong.

What is Kesi embroidery?

Kesi is a traditional Chinese silk tapestry-making method. Kesi tapestry first appeared more than a thousand years ago in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907). It is famous for its detailed pictorial designs, lightness and clarity of double-sided pattern… Kesi– a style of Chinese silk weaving skill and one of Suzhou’s rare traditional crafts- is a kind of craftwork made of genuine silk. In today’s China, Suzhou is the only place Kesi skill is preserved. Kesi employs a weaving method called “passing warp thread and cutting weft thread”(Unlike continuous weft brocade, each color in

Kesi style is woven from a separate bobbin, making the method both technically demanding and time-consuming), in which the surface pattern of the fabric seems like having been carved by a knife, and then earns its name a “Kesi”.  Kesi is admired for its selected materials, gorgeous colors, and matchless workmanship. The tapestry is extremely detailed and exquisite, the pictorial designs of which are finely graded, taking on a three-dimensional appearance. Moreover, the pattern on Kesi fabric is identical when seen from its front and its back, making it a top art on par with Suzhou double-sided embroidery. At the same time, Kesi textile is able to withstand touch, scrape, and rub, far superior to other silk products in China. Kesi products are diversified, ranging from clothes, shoes and hats, ribbon bands and quilt covers in daily life to album of paintings and calligraphy, vertical hanging scrolls, traditional paintings hanging in the middle of the main hall, etc.
