Body 134 Story Master
"Good make-up. β
Lian Tianqing praised it.
Lian Tianqing is by no means an encouraging teacher, when he does well, it is already very good to get him a smile, and there are even fewer praises like this, Xu Wen was a little flattered when he heard it.
"Lin Lin and Miss Qi helped me a lot. He said honestly and told Lian Tianqing what happened after lunch.
While listening, Lian Tianqing took the ruler and began to measure the various data of the shapes drawn by Xu Wen, and compared them with those he listed next to him.
When Xu Wen saw his movements, he was immediately a little nervous: "I didn't use a ruler to measure, so I made a visual inspection, and there may be discrepancies......"
"There is no discrepancy. Lian Tianqing replied briefly, "All of them are consistent with reality." β
Xu Wen was stunned.
Lian Tianqing straightened up, looked at him and said, "You do have some talent in practicality. But why do you only make up for this half of the face, and the rest of it?"
"There was so much left that I couldn't figure out what it should be. Xu Wen said honestly.
Lian Tianqing let out an "um", turned around, and motioned for Xu Wen to follow him.
He led Xu Wen through two doors to the other side of the studio, which was another room, and Xu Wen had not yet come.
As soon as he walked in, his eyes widened in surprise, this was a study, a large study like a library!
The room is stacked with wooden shelves, each as high as the roof. The shelves are full of thick and large volumes, and the scale is quite astonishing.
Lian Tianqing walked over, took out a random copy, and handed it to Xu Wen.
Xu Wen curiously took it and opened it, and found that it was a picture album, with rice paper and charcoal outlines, and it was a wood carving. The page he opened was also a picture of a scribe talking to a woodcutter under a pine tree, and the picture was vivid and familiar.
Xu Wen turned another page down, the same finch replaced, this time it was a room, there was a person outside the house who was waiting for him, a person in the room was running out, his clothes were wet with water, one hand held his wet long hair, as if he was halfway through the washing of his hair, and he hurriedly ran out to greet the guests.
The characteristics of this picture were so obvious that Xu Wen immediately recognized it and shouted, "Zhou Gong holds his hair!"
Zhou Gong held the hair and published the historical records, talking about Zhou Gong Lixian corporal, seeking talent, and "one bath and three catches hair" when washing his hair...... Wait for the soldiers".
Comparatively speaking, the more famous one with the same allusion may be Zhou Gong's spit, but Xu Wen only made up for it not long ago, and he recognized it immediately.
"Do you know that Zhou Gong holds his hair, but don't you know Taigong fishing?" Lian Tianqing asked lightly.
"Taigong fishing?" Xu asked for a moment of confusion, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he understood in an instant.
That's right, that crippled finch substitute, there is an old man fishing, isn't it Jiang Taigong fishing!
And at the same time, he discovered something.
"The one who carved the wish is the craftsman in this booklet!"
"A bit of eyesight. So how do you think we should complete the rest of the details?"
"There are similarities in the style of the same craftsman, and the style and habits of individual design and production are observed and restored. Xu Wen immediately thought of it.
Lian Tianqing nodded and pointed to the booklet: "You can take this book out to read." β
Xu Wen looked back a little reluctantly, looking at the bookshelves full of books behind himβit is conceivable that all of them should be such albums: "Is this the only one?"
"What's the use of more but not rotten. Lian Tianqing opened the door, threw down a sentence, and Xu Wen went out honestly.
Xu Wen sat in front of the window and looked at the album.
He was supposed to be engrossed in the comparison, and the wish-making person took the bait and finished his homework, but now he was a little distracted, because he had discovered something thought-provoking.
The album is full of paintings by an unknown craftsman.
His works are mainly engraving, but basically there are no pure ornaments, and they usually have a certain practicality. From the beginning to the end, it is not all finches, there are flower windows, chairs, etc., mainly architectural decoration, and relatively little furniture.
His carvings are mainly about historical figures, with a sense of scene and very distinctive features. This is also one of the reasons why Xu Wen can recognize it quickly.
By all accounts, this craftsman is a true master. But in this day and age, it is not easy to collect the works of the same craftsman in this way.
Xu Wen can see at a glance that the brushwork of this album is very familiar, all from Lian Tianqing's hand.
In other words, all of these works were collected and depicted by him with his own eyes.
And there is more than one such album, and the albums piled up on the shelves are all such "collections"?
In order to collect them, how many places has Lian Tianqing visited, how many treasures have he seen, and how much time and effort has he spent?
What did he do before he came to a small mountain village like Xiaoheng Village, and what heights did he reach?
Why did he take his sick daughter to Xiaoheng Village to live in seclusion?
Xu Wen has always known that his master is not a simple person, and now it seems that he is even more powerful and mysterious than he imagined.
Xu Wen turned his pen and thought for a while, then he retracted his mind and refocused his attention on the wood carving in front of him.
Each master craftsman will have his own unique style and preferences, and these things will always be reflected in their work.
For example, this unknown craftsman in front of him, he basically paints historical figures, he combines characters with scenes, and his works have a strong sense of storytelling.
Historical figures, with their own historical backgrounds and customs and culture, this craftsman is worthy of being a master, and pays special attention to this aspect of the details when carving.
For example, the clothes that Zhou Gong wore when he washed his hair were completely different from the scholar who asked Panasonic Wenqiao, and there were some similarities with Jiang Taigong......
However, he has his own preferences, and he has his own preferences in terms of scenery and composition.
For example, he is very fond of bamboo, often using bamboo branches as a background, and he is also very fond of animals, there is a squirrel squatting on the pine tree, a crow squatting on the eaves of Zhou Gong's house, and Taigong can also see half a fish's tail when fishing.
These animals, like people, are full of vitality and echo, which makes the story of the picture richer.
This master doesn't know who it is, it's really amazing!
The more Xu Wen pondered, the more obsessed he became, completely forgetting the things around him and how long time had passed.
As the sun began to set, he didn't even finish half of his album, and he made a lot of notes on the paper next to him.
Lian Tianqing quietly walked over, stood behind him and watched for a while, and lit a candle for him.
Xu Wen didn't notice anything, Lian Tianqing walked outside the house, looked at the daughter who found here, and whispered, "Xu Wen is not going to eat - bring it to him." β
Xu Wen had never been treated like this before, and even Lin Lin looked at her father in surprise, glanced into the house again, and tiptoed away.
