Cloisonn é enamel is a traditional Chinese craft. Ma Liangshun, a representative inheritor of intangible cultural heritage in Ulanhot City, inherited the gourd pyrography technique from his father. After years of exploration and innovation, he pioneered the gourd cloisonn é enamel technique, which has smooth lines, exquisite patterns, and high artistic and aesthetic value.
INTRODUCTION TO CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL
CLOISONNE
Cloisonn é enamel, also known as cloisonn é, has a history dating back to the late 13th century. At that time, the “Great Food Kiln” craft from the Arab region was introduced to China via the Silk Road and took root and sprouted in the palace workshops of the Yuan Dynasty capital (now Beijing). During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty (1450-1456), this technique reached its peak and was named “Jingtai Blue” due to the frequent use of gemstone blue glaze. Copper cloisonn é enamel vessels, with their luxurious appearance resembling a “golden body and jade robe,” have become a symbol of imperial use.

TRADITIONAL AND MODERN SYMPHONY
It combines traditional flowers and birds, cloud patterns, as well as grassland symbols such as yurts and carts. The work “Delicate Jade Hand” by the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, Bao Yulan, is inspired by the patterns of Mongolian clothing. The continuous long patterns outlined by gold thread symbolize the endless vitality of grassland culture.
Combining cloisonn é enamel with sand painting to create a new form of “enamel sand painting”. In “The Golden Felt House,” the golden thread outlines the outline of the hut, while the colorful sand fills the undulations of the grassland. The flowing motion of the sand grains contrasts with the eternal luster of the enamel.
Enamel cloisonn é has become the “golden key” to rural revitalization. Disabled person Chen Xi (pseudonym) mastered the technique through training. He said: When pinching, the copper wire jumps on his fingertips, as if the wind on the grassland brushes through his heart.
