Nanjing ware, a traditional art project in the fourth batch of representative projects of municipal intangible cultural heritage. "Wareware" is also called "glassware". Simply put, it is the artistic processing of glass. It is to color, shape and seal glass under certain melting conditions to achieve the desired artistic effect. Due to the complex processing technology, it requires extremely high processing technology and artistic theoretical foundation of the processing artists. Different from traditional cold cutting or dewaxing processing technology, each ware product consumes a lot of manpower and cannot be copied, so it is called "private customization". "Wareware" was first introduced to China from the Western Regions (now Xinjiang, China and Central Asia). The state-owned merchants of Dayuezhi in the Han and Wei dynasties were able to mine and cast colored glaze. In the Ming Dynasty, some people called it "ware": "cooking materials into silk and making utensils with silk." The name of "ware" is still used today. China's ware production began around the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty (mid-14th century). The ware making process was one of the commonly used processes in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China. Nanjing ware appeared in the Ming Dynasty and was once a widely circulated traditional ethnic craft. However, with the passage of time, this skill was gradually lost. Wu Xin'an, the inheritor of Nanjing ware, is committed to the inheritance, teaching and research of ware crafts. In 1987, he taught the original lamp-making glass craftsmanship skills he had developed for more than ten years to Funing, Baoying, Shanghai and other places in Jiangsu Province without cost and reservation. The handicrafts produced are exported to dozens of countries. Wu Xin'an's team is committed to reviving this traditional national craft. By learning from traditional national artists, they explore and inherit the traditional national lamp-making and ware skills. At the same time, they use the progress of modern industrial materials and the assistance of equipment to achieve rapid progress in technology compared with traditional ware crafts.
