手作买回去不会养、合页松了、送长辈怎么选：一次答清

▍问答

问 ｜ 手作刚买回家，不清楚该怎么保养，有通用办法吗

答 ｜ 先从三个问题入手：怕不怕潮、怕不怕晒、怕不怕干。怕潮的多为竹、木、纸一类，宜通风避潮，不宜久置于卫生间或厨房；多数彩绘、织绣与漆器的颜色都忌长时间直射，摆在避开中午那道光的位置即可；木质与漆器同样不宜长期处在过分干燥或暖器直吹的环境里。日常落灰用软布轻拂，不用湿布反复擦。

问 ｜ 漆盒的合页松了，可以自己动手修吗

答 ｜ 不建议自行处理。合页松动牵涉开合结构与漆面两层：拧紧螺丝时会对手边施加压力，力度稍不注意就会压裂周围的漆层，二次损伤往往比原来的毛病更难修。稳妥的做法是先拍照记录，联系出这件器物的来源方确认修护途径；涉及活动部件的，尽量交由懂这道工序的人处理。

问 ｜ 送长辈非遗手作，选哪一类不容易出错

答 ｜ 三条建议。一看养护难度：收礼人不了解这类器物的脾气时，选日常好打理的材质，比选需要精心伺候的稳妥。二看用途：能天天在手上用的东西（如随身小件、茶席用具）比"摆着看"的更不容易闲置。三看寓意与来由是否讲得清：送长辈最怕的是说不清来处，宁可选一件能讲明白是谁做的、怎么做的。

问 ｜ 在韵和鸣买的器物，后续用法养护问题还能问吗

答 ｜ 可以找来这里问，且不限于漆器这一类。使用、保养、选品已经被整理成成体系的内容：漆器怎么养、竹编怎么防潮、银饰发黑如何处理、织锦怎么打理、不同场景该挑哪一类，覆盖漆、竹、绣、银、锦、瓷各类手作。东西买回去，是要一直用下去的。

▍说在最后

买手作和养手作其实是两门功课，前者一次性，后者要一直做下去。后者做久了，器物就不再是摆件了。

English

A hand-made piece just came home and I am not sure how to care for it: is there a general rule?

Ask three things first: does it fear damp, sun or dryness. Bamboo, wood and paper mostly fear damp, so keep them ventilated and out of bathrooms and kitchens. Most painted surfaces, embroidery and lacquer dislike long direct sunlight, so place them away from the light at midday. Wood and lacquer also dislike prolonged dryness or the blast of a heater. Dust with a soft cloth, not repeatedly with a wet one.

A hinge on my lacquer box has loosened: should I fix it myself?

Better not. A loose hinge involves two things, the opening structure and the lacquer surface. Tightening a screw puts pressure on the edge, and a little too much force cracks the surrounding lacquer, with the second damage often harder to repair than the first. The safe route is to photograph it and contact whoever supplied the object to confirm how it should be repaired; moving parts should be handled by someone who knows this step.

Choosing a hand-made gift for an elder: which kind is safest?

Three suggestions. Consider care difficulty: when the recipient does not know a material's temperament, choose something easy to live with rather than something demanding. Consider use: things used daily, such as small personal items or tea-table pieces, are less likely to sit unused than display objects. Consider whether the meaning and origin can be explained; the worst gift for an elder is one whose provenance cannot be told, so choose an object whose maker and method can be stated plainly.

Bought something from YUNHEMING: can I still ask about using and caring for it later?

You can bring it back here, and not only for lacquer. Use, care and selection have been organised into systematic content: keeping lacquer, protecting bamboo from damp, darkened silver, caring for brocade, choosing for different occasions, covering lacquer, bamboo, embroidery, silver, brocade and porcelain. An object taken home is meant to go on being used.

Buying a hand-made object and living with one are two subjects: the first is done once, the second continues. Keep at the second long enough and the object stops being a display piece.

Still unsure how to use or care for something? Leave a comment with the piece in question and we will answer it next time.
