Unexpectedly, never pulled the car pull rhubarb also a good road, which led him to be vehicle of the momentum is greater. Original equipment wheels are too heavy, pulling rhubarb car was very laborious, time back all out of breath. So, he spent 75 yuan to buy a new inflatable wheels 3. In this way, only half Kung Fu, a dog pull a cart and you’re done.

In order to train dogs to pull carts, Dong Grandpa a lot of thought. He made a baton, that is to take one forward, one that is stopped down. Thanks to wave the stick left to right, several times a day training to great lengths to be curried rhubarb. A few days ago encountered a red light, one finger down his baton, rhubarb immediately stopped. Traffic police keeps complimenting: “Grandpa, you are not training the dog running red lights.”

He said: “The husband and wife together Zheliang I keep spare car seat, child car his wife, and I rode. Pedaling uphill, I can hand to help the dog.”

“Rhubarb alone pull a cart, too laborious. This does not, I’m letting white and Jingjing pull together.” Pointing to white, Dong grandfather introduced, and slowly it will grow as large as with rhubarb, and now it exercises pull a cart, take a good rhubarb future classes.

Almost all people have hobbies, some people like calligraphy, some people like music, some people like to collect … …, but who lives in Jinan, 6455 factory Yang Chonghua hobbies are different, he likes to make the ancient wagon models, tanks, or whether it is pre-Qin Republic of the carriage, he could do perfectly.

A traditional items like China has been

Old carpenter from the guidance repairer

Industrial areas in the 6455 quarters, no one brought Yang Chonghua to be said I do not know, known to everybody, “he is really a jerk, go to work every day in addition to carriage model to do at home, the family has almost become a wood factory.” “He great temper, and once I want to spend money to buy him a model of 30000, he even put me out. “I heard a reporter to interview nearby residents have complained of Yang Chonghua impression.

Do not his primary coach model of industry, he is a military industrial enterprises and technical personnel, had a habit of Chinese traditional culture, before facing the biggest hobby is shooting the disappearance of the ancient tribes and for a variety of stone production base, and this way, until 2007 In home decorating the house, his interest was the transfer, “the decoration is completed, the family left a lot of wood blocks, lost unfortunately, to ask how the carpenter.” carpenter put a lot of suggestions that he did not receive until proposed to do an old carpenter accidentally carriage, he suddenly gets excited, “I have been interested in the ancient travel, also read some information, do the carriage very appropriate.”

Manufacturing Excellence

Work with the first two months

After discussion and the old carpenter, decided to start doing wheelbarrow Yang Chonghua start, because it is relatively simple shape, but the workload is relatively small, the afternoon he passed the old carpenter, bought the plane, chisel, hand drill, angle, ruler and other tools, but also specifically went to the nearby market and bought all kinds of wood timber, but although the leveling tool, and how to create and become a problem.

In order to make vehicles as early as possible to master technology, the next morning he went to the museum to find information in Jinan, the hands to find information from a friend, a closet full of comic collection, comic books his hand under the various dynasties replica carriage. Speaking of the history Yangchong Hua said that he will never forget, “is basically twice in the next do not know how, and then went home and asked the old carpenter, do come back.” After two months of effort, Yang Chonghua first work finally completed, “Although the bigger wheels, as long as the promoter is not, but I still abnormal happy.” Are also placed in the workplace Zheliang wheelbarrow, the Yang Chonghua said they would permanent collection.

In addition to other drawings, Yang Chonghua choice of materials for the model is also very harsh, making model is the best wood is mahogany, rosewood, ebony, sandalwood these types, in order to ensure the selection of quality, Yang Chonghua every Saturday, Sunday, will drive to 15 km away Heroes Hill Plaza, selection, even so, a good week to be elected to the wood is very difficult.

C modeling crafted

Use the 5 months doing a

Yangchong Hua said that his models are modeled on the ancient truth to make carriage, whether the carriage part, or the size ratio between the components are the same and the true carriage, only small proportion.

In order to prove that they said is true, Yang Chonghua led journalists on a tour of his collection room, a reporter on the door attracted by his works, Yang Chonghua coach made about 1 m, mostly in the 40-80 cm in height between the pre-Qin vehicles, the Tang Dynasty horse, the Republic of transport carriage everything, whether it is the wheels, body or both and the real car goes for the roof. “Is not it nice to do these cars cost me two years to ah.” Yang Chonghua told reporters that he made all the models are in full accordance with the traditional Chinese handicrafts, are mortise and tenon structure, in addition to other decorative nails, all of the vehicle is not a nail, and all his hand-made vehicles, and even windows and car body and all of the pattern is engraved with the knife a little bit of it, “from the material, has been formed to the vehicle, a total of more than 200 processes to go through to produce a car requires 4-5 months. ”

D “model is the first person Qilu carriage”

Works do not participate in the exhibition do not sell

For the love of these models, the reporter left, made the buy one, I did not expect Yang Chonghua suddenly not happy, “Sorry, do not sell my work, I still want to buy back my sold it, since you do not say that. “He told reporters, just master the carriage modeling techniques, in order to promote himself, he often participated in various exhibitions, also received a number of honors, the industry also known as the” first person Qilu cart model “, but also requires a lot of people attracted by high prices to buy, did not intend to make money from the Yang Chonghua tempted to sell it four, “one sold to a collector in Taiwan, there is a sold to a Chinese-American the rest I sell to forget. ”

Soon after he felt violated the original intention, but because the buyer did not leave contact information, has been unable to buy it back. Yang Chonghua now refuse to participate in any exhibition, and seldom deal with non-industry, dedicated to do his “ancient Chinese chariot model series,” “I want to start from the Qin Dynasty, has been coach to the Republic of China to do all types of vehicles model, a total of more than 30 bar, they do not say that the history of cars on China’s history up. “He said sad up here,” if you do not sell it four, should now do a half. “… …

“I really want to pass down the art, but I want to go to College of Arts and Crafts look, after all, they have a foundation.” Yang Chonghua said.

Pony size :

For many forms of competition, the official definition of a pony is a horse that measures less than 14.2 hands (58 inches, 147 cm) at the withers. Horses are 14.2 or taller. The International Federation for Equestrian Sports defines the official cutoff point at 148 centimetres (58.27 in) (just over 14.2 h) without shoes and 149 centimetres (58.66 in) (just over 14.2-1/2 h) with shoes, though allows a margin for competition measurement of up to 150 centimetres (59.1 in) (14.3 h) without shoes, or 151 centimetres (59.45 in) (just under 14.3-1/2 h) with shoes.[1] However, the term “pony” can be used in general (or affectionately) for any small horse, regardless of its actual size or breed. Furthermore, some horse breeds may have individuals who mature under that height but are still called “horses” and are allowed to compete as horses. In Australia horses that measure from 14 hands to 15 hands are known as a “galloway”, and ponies in Australia measure under 14 hands.Our pony carriage can fit most of pony size.if you are interested in our pony carriages,please feel free to contact us.
