百吉龙香行 Bǎi Jí Joss Stick Maker

在神诞庆典、拜神祈福时，可见一柱柱颜色鲜艳的龙香，小至4尺，大至20，30尺都有。除了用作祭拜供品，龙香也是具有传统意义的民间艺术。尤其是师傅们全手工制作的龙香，其技艺的含量和费时的工序，让人钦佩。 距离武吉不兰律（Bukit Pelandok）主要街道不远处，一条名为“百吉路”的支路沿着雪邦河延伸，有那么一家手工龙香制造厂。负责人黄聿雄索性把制造厂命名为：百吉龙香行。黄先生自嘲资历尚浅，制作龙香并非本业，年幼时曾在哥哥的龙香制造厂里头帮忙，可惜几年后结业了。如今却在恰当的机缘之下承接了这门手艺。 手工龙香的制作程序非常考验耐性，是急不来的。从原料、款式、尺寸、涂层、风干、龙头、压模、龙身、捏压、上色、到包装，需至少两个月，甚至一年，取决于龙香的尺寸。尤其铺上一层一层的木糠最耗时。得一层干透，才能铺上第二层。间中风干的过程不得接触阳光避免龟裂，同时也随气候的变化而影响风干的进度。 虽然市场对于龙香的需求一向稳定，惟有传统手工制龙香的手艺已出现断层的现象，鲜少年轻一辈的接手传承。在有限的人力以及机械化的冲击之下，即使是蕴藏着文化精髓的传统制香行业，都面临经营和传承的困境。 During deity birthday celebrations or when praying for blessings, brightly coloured joss sticks could be seen, sizes range from 4 ft up to 20 ft or even 30 ft. Besides being an offering to deities, joss sticks are also a form of traditional folk art. Especially pure handiwork joss sticks made by craftsmen, the intricate skills involved and the strenuous procedures, are admirable. Not far away from the main street of Bukit Pelandok, following the expanse of a side road named “100 Acres” along the Sepang river, there is a handcrafted joss stick factory. The person-in-charge Mr Ong Sze Hong (transliteration) named the factory as Bǎi Jí Joss Stick Maker. Mr Ong mocks himself as being inexperienced, as joss stick manufacturing is not his career, he has been helping in his elder brother’s joss stick manufacturing factory when he was young, alas the factory closed down after a few years. At present, he inherited this skill under fortunate circumstances. The procedures of manufacturing handcrafted joss sticks put patience to the test, and are not to be rushed. From the materials, style, size, coating, dragon head, moulding, dragon body, pinching and pressing, painting, to packaging, it takes at least two months, even up to a year, depending on the size of the joss stick. The most time-consuming procedure is the layer by layer coating of wood bran, once a layer is thoroughly dried, only can the next layer be coated. Meanwhile in the drying process, the joss stick should not be exposed to sunlight to prevent cracking, and weather changes affect the progress rate of natural drying. Even though there is a steady market demand for joss sticks, a chasm has appeared in the manufacturing of traditional handcrafted joss sticks, rarely any of the younger generations inherit the legacy. Under the challenges imposed by limited manpower and mechanization, despite bearing cultural essence, the traditional joss stick manufacturing industry faces difficulties in operations and inheritance. #有你UNI #UNIGallery #马来西亚有你 #有你 #UNI #uniness #uninessmalaysia https://uni.gallery https://uniness.gallery 文 Text/ 林汇川 Daniel Lim & 潘慧雯 Pua Hui Wen © 2019 ECHINOIDEA SDN BHD
