吴川是一个泥塑多的地方。
梅菉泥塑起源于瓦窑村。瓦窑村始于唐朝(公元618年),开基祖姓廖,从佛山石湾迁徙而来,佛山石湾精湛的陶瓷工艺从此也传入吴川。唐朝中期,有一年元宵,有个陶工随手用陶泥捏起一座小型泥塑玩,想不到竟吸引了不少观众,后来别的陶工也来凑热闹。这就无形中成了元宵泥塑展览。从此,泥塑这一民间艺术断断续续经历了唐、宋、元三个朝代。到了明朝洪武年间,皇帝派遣官吏四出挑选美女进宫寻欢作乐,民间百姓对此无不怨声载道。于是,梅菉头村的群众便乘闹元宵之机,特地造了一套丑化皇帝与皇后的泥塑。其特点是:人像的眼大、肚大、脚大、乳大、耳大。果然触动了官府衙门,竟派遣大批衙差,声言要抄斩全村百姓。后来,炮制这套泥塑的为首者便出灭辨解道:“皇上眼大看得准,肚大有福份,脚大乾坤,乳大养子民,耳大听民音,这为何不妥?”这帮趋炎附势的官兵听了无言可答,只好罢休。此后,当地群众对“造泥塑”、“看泥塑”、“评泥塑”的兴趣更浓,热情更高。这便成了当地居民闹元宵的一项主要内容。随着岁月的流逝,“泥塑”作品的题材也不断有新的发展。原先大都取材于神话传说的“盘古开天辟地”、“女祸炼石补天”,“嫦娥奔月”、“哪咤闹海”、“八仙过海”或取材于历史戏曲的“三顾茅庐”、“七郎打擂”、“平贵别窑”等,进而发展到取材于现实生活的“金杯献给祖国”、“军威震敌胆”、“向四化进军”等多样化题材。
若从“泥塑”制作工艺来看,逐步也不断有新的发展。过去,老是用稻草竹篾绑“树杆”作“泥塑”支架,如今已被“铁线扎钢筋”所取代了。有的群众还别出心裁地搞“活泥塑”,只要来人轻轻按一下机关,小舞台上的“书生”就可吹箫弹琴,又可启步运行;“公主”既可眉来眼去,又可翩翩起舞;何去何从也跟着拧起罗伞,确是造型逼真,栩栩如生。有的“胖娃娃”塑像还神气活现地当着观众的面“嘶嘶嘶”地拉起“小便”来。原来,这些巧夺天工的“泥塑”已被制作者搞成“电动化”了。
Dear Admission Committee:
Miss Pan Bei requested a letter of recommendation from me to support her application for graduate program at your university. As her teacher, I am pleased to comply with her request.
I first got to know Miss Pan when she enrolled at university and I was the assistant director of her class at that time. Being a professor for several years, I noticed that due to the lack of self-learning ability, it is really challenging for students, even those performing excellent in senior school, to keep up with the college speed. However, as a diligent girl without any solid background in Computer Science before college, she adapted quickly to the especially competitive environment in our department. At the end of the first year, she earned the 5th rank in her class, while ranking 1st among the girls. I was fairly impressed by her self-learning technique and exceptional efforts. Hence, I believe, goal-oriented, not afraid of inchoateness and with persistence, she has the quality to make achievements.
What distinguished her among her classmates, I think, was that she went far beyond acquiring excellent scores in the exams and instead got her range of knowledge enlarged. In spring, 2006, Miss Pan took the course I taught named Algebraic Structures and Combinatorial Mathematics. This inquisitive and assiduous young woman was sometimes the last to leave after my class, raising novel questions related to the subject. I found that she understood the knowledge in depth and detail. Furthermore, I still remember during the spring vocation in May, due to the break-down of my mail box, I missed her mails to discussing some questions. But the following week during the course time, she asked me directly. Her zeal for knowledge and the spirit to explore answers really leave me a deep impression. Finally, she was among the few students who got almost full marks in every test in class which showed her exceeding grasp of every chapter. Thus, I gave her 98/100 for the excellent performance in my course.
In summary, I have every reason to believe that Miss. Pan will make outstanding performance at your university as a graduate. I would appreciate greatly if you give her a favorable consideration. Please feel free to contact me directly if more assistance is needed. Faithfully yours,
Wanling Qu, Professor
Department of Computer Science and technology Peking University

我与泥塑学校每周四的泥塑活动课,无疑是培养同学们兴趣爱好比较好的方式。一下子就使我深深地爱上泥塑,成为我无法割舍的喜好。
终于迎来泥塑艺术活动了!我迈着喜悦的步伐踏进了万分憧憬的泥塑教室。
教我们泥塑的老爷爷等我们坐好,就娓娓道来:“在中华民族五千年历史的工艺品中,泥塑占有举足轻重的地位。它以泥巴为原料,用手工捏制成形。或素或彩,以人物、动物为主。是中国民间工艺品的奇葩,很吸引众人的目光……”终于,让我们开始自己动手做了。
我迫不及待地拿起一块包装好的陶泥,看着这块诱人的陶泥,不禁有几分兴奋。我站起来模仿着老爷爷刚才教的操作步骤,先用手把陶泥揉软,搓成萝卜般粗细的泥条,然后分成两截备用;下面就正式开始制作成型了:预备“唐僧”造型模具(分为两半),用泥条分别填满两半模具,注意这时要用力压实,否则做出来的产品会出现裂纹,而且作品可能变形。下一步,用水沾湿泥条,粘在两半模具边缘,这样整个模具就粘合成了完整的一体。最后,还要在填满泥的模具底部做一个圆形泥饼做为底座,用木筷刮去多余的泥屑,让填满陶泥的模具晾一会儿,小心拆去两半模具,一个“唐僧”泥塑作品就大功告成了!是不是很有成就感呀!
“看着容易做起来难”,还真应了这句俗语。我的动作显得比较笨拙,刚开始做出来的作品不成型,老是开裂,我没有灰心,尝试了几次,终于成功了,心里陡然升起一种自豪感,这种体验真是很快乐!
不知不觉间,半小时过去了,一件精致的泥塑艺术品在我手中诞生了!望着慈祥和蔼的“唐僧”泥塑品,我仿佛看到了一个面容英俊手捻着佛珠的唐僧,正冲我微笑着,似乎在说:“你真棒!”
老爷爷见了,夸道:“嗯,好!不错嘛!继续加油哦!”
我小心翼翼地捧着这个“伟大”的作品,慢慢地把它放好,心里像吃了蜜一样甜。
这样的活动不仅锻炼了我的动手、动脑能力,更让我学到了许多在课堂上学不到的东西!
在我的书桌上摆放着一件泥塑作品,见过它的人无不啧啧称赞。而我,作为它的制造者自然心里一阵欢乐。今天,就与你一起分享分享我捏泥塑的过程吧。
这件泥塑作品是我暑假的无锡之旅中诞生的,而无锡的惠山古镇便是它的原产地。无锡的惠山古镇坐落于无锡的惠山脚下,一提到惠山,人们会不觉想起闻名的惠山泥——它是无锡惠山特产的一种黑泥,干而不裂,非常适合捏制泥塑。作品“大阿福”便是最著名的代表了。所以,闲暇之际,我以前来拜访一下这座著名的惠山古镇,亲身体验一下捏泥塑的乐趣。
我来到惠山古镇的一家泥塑馆,里面陈列着大小不一、风格各异的“大阿福”。各各做工精致,我沿着走廊,一路欣赏,一路走到了泥塑教室,开始了我的'泥塑之旅。
由于我是初学者,老师便在制作之前为我进行了一番仔细的讲解与演示,之后,便是我大显身手的时候了,我跃跃欲试。
领到泥块的我先把它均匀分成两块——一块用来捏制泥塑,而另一块却有大用途。我把分好的泥块置于掌心来回揉搓,把它搓成了一个标准的球状,然后将它放入一个用石头雕刻出来的模具中央,慢慢将泥球压平,使泥球与模具充分接触,再将它放置在一边。接着,我拿来另一块泥,将它放在桌面上来回滚动,搓成一个圆柱状的泥块。然后,我用自己的两只手掌,像木板一样挤压泥块。于是,它从圆滚滚的柱体变成了一个方方正正、有棱有角的长方体。你可别小看它,接下来,它可就有大作用了。
放入模具的"泥块也该取出来了,而怎么取是关键。你一定会认为是用手将泥一点点地从模具的边缘抠出来,那可就错了,因为那柔软的黑泥经受不住这样“残酷而漫长”的折磨,非常容易变形,我们就前功尽弃了。那么现在,就让另一块有棱有角的长方体泥块出场吧!
方法很简单,一只手将模具竖着拿在手中,另一只手拿着泥块,让其一端粘在模具中的黑泥上,就像盖印章一样“啪”地盖在上面,然后向外用力,将磨具中的黑泥拉出来。就这样,两块黑泥利用自身的黏力被拉了出来,又一个“大阿福”诞生了!
对待刚诞生的“大阿福”我们还需十分小心,最后的工作便是将它平置于桌面风干。几分钟后,一个“大阿福”便出炉了!当然,这时候你还可以为它穿上美丽的衣裳——据自己的喜好为它涂上鲜艳的颜色。
Dear Sir/Madam:
As a teacher at xxxx school, I am writing to provide you a recommendation for Miss/Mr.xx so as to help you assess her/his application for acceptance into your program and consideration for financial aid.
Considered a promising student with originality and sophistication in her/his thinking, (she/he was asked, in the spring semester of 2008, to develop a subsystem of a DBMS project for her B.S.thesis, for which I was the chief leader. T
his subsystem was designed to manage the information of materials in NO.1 Foundry Plant of Dongfeng Auto Works.To do the job, she/he read many books about software engineering and took some courses in Database Principles and Management. Keenly aware that the design of a DBMS decides the quality of the whole software system, she did her/his utmost from the beginning of the project.(参加过什么活动. From analyzing users requirements to designing the whole system, from the detailed designing to the final programming, she was very level-headed and full of innovation every step of the way. Taking full advantage of her ability and creativity, she firmly focused herself on her objective and gnored all distractions. She successfully reached her goal. In the final software testing, only a few bugs were found in her subsystem. My appreciation of her talelent was thus confirmed.Miss is a very personable woman, friendly and helpful, and she has always been a team player in her work.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could give her application for candidacy to your Ph.D. program favorable consideration. Should you need any further information in your deliberation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely xxxx
