Jing Cheng snorted lightly, turned around and left.

He didn't really leave, and the sense of existence still lasted strongly, so Xu Wen smiled lightly, already understanding his answer.

He picked up the cardboard box next to him, lit the lotus lanterns inside one by one and put them in the pond.

The white light is reflected on the water, and the red lotus and the white lotus are intertwined, which is beautiful.

Xu Wen sat down by the pond and waited patiently.

But throughout today, he has been immersed in his work, and now he sits down, and his mind is still full of that piece of blood.

The sudden sound of heavenly work brought him a lot of insights, inspiration, and some experiences that had been precipitated after long-term thinking.

At that time, he was inspired and put all his heart and soul into his work. Now that he sat down, many different thoughts came to him and made him ponder.

Some time ago, he believed that the most important thing in a craftsman is skill, and that skill can be divided into purely rational work, and data, lines, structures, etc., can be sorted out and analyzed.

At that time, he thought that if he was proficient in the eighteen skills, he could become an excellent carpenter.

But it didn't take long for him to realize that he was wrong.

A good carpenter needs more than this.

Then he wondered, what is the difference between an artist and a craftsman?

Why is it that the value of some craftsmen's works is only in the analysis of the times, while others really have the artistic aesthetic value that transcends the times, and the attention is also shocking?

In fact, for this question, he is not completely without an answer in his heart, after Lian Tianqing guided him to look at the mountains and rivers and see the world, after experiencing the unity of heaven and man in Liuzhen Garden, and after seeing countless works of art in the two lives, he gradually had some enlightenment in his heart.

There is a word in Taoism, Taoism.

This word is very common, but in fact, it can be said separately, Tao is Tao, and Shu is art.

Tao is the core spirit, and art is the technique of expression.

In fact, craftsmen are the same, the results of the eighteen tricks and the exploration of the ancient are all techniques, and they are techniques.

For traditional craftsmen, this is the foundation, representing their extreme ingenuity – the ability to maximize their abilities and achieve their desired goals under such scarce and limited conditions.

The purpose is grandiose, dangerous, or exquisite, and they all reflect the limits of human power.

For artists, this is also important, after all, unrealizable designs are simply ineffective, just imaginations.

But technology itself is constantly improving, because technology is developing at a rapid pace, and what was not possible or difficult to do before may be a trivial thing now.

For example, in the past, there was a limit to how tall a building was, and what could be more than 30 meters was extremely limited, but now?

Three hundred meters is just waiting for leisure.

Xu Wen's improvement of cement in Banmen World is a transformative technological development, which makes the construction of Fengchun New City possible.

What if the steam engine was invented, what about the use of electricity, what about nuclear power?

Why are some traditional skills eliminated or disappearing? Even the Cultural Transmission Society will not even think about saving it and passing it on?

Because the soil rooted in it no longer exists, it can no longer have room to exist.

For example, tinkerers and bowl makers used to carry their burdens from house to house to provide basic services for people.

But they have disappeared since a few decades, and now such techniques exist in museums at best, for experts to use to restore artifacts.

In the final analysis, it is because of technological progress, material abundance, and the people have money.

Even many times the bowl is still good, but it doesn't look good, and it needs to be changed again to match the color and match the style of the furniture.

What is curium, what is supplemented? A bowl is just a bowl, no matter how beautifully it is repaired, can there be a new bowl?

There are many more traditional skills like this, some of which have disappeared helplessly, some of which are still surviving, and there are departments like the Culture and Communication Society that are trying their best to save them.

There is no need for something that is not alive to exist, and if it is just technology, the old technology will always be replaced by the new technology.

So, what is the necessity for the existence of traditional culture, and what should really be continued?

Xu Wen gradually figured out that this is the "Tao" in it.

The continuation of human beings from generation to generation, proving their past and future, this is the Tao.

The great human power to make the impossible possible and create infinite possibilities under limited conditions is also the Tao.

Mastering all things, shaping all things, capturing the essence and essence of beauty, and doing our best to embody it, is the same way.

The Tao is the human being, the human heart.

Everything is me, I am everything, and in the end, we have to return to the word "I".

But I am who I am, and so am others.

Countless "I" have come together to form this world and all the history of the past and present.

So, the world that he named Banmen......

Xu Wen sat next to the pond, the grass was blown by the wind, touching his ankles, and the lotus lamp in front of him flickered brightly, meeting his eyes.

Qiuqiu appeared at some point, nestled beside him, his tail flicking one after another, sometimes slapping on his thigh, heavy, extremely real.

The little turtle also appeared, with its shell sticking out of its head on all four limbs, lying on a rock.

Xu Wen didn't know the passage of time, but the little turtle saw the bright moon in the sky from west to east, and the sky was dyed from dark to a thin morning light.

After too long, the lotus lanterns in the pond finally dimmed a little, and at this time, they suddenly flickered, and between the morning mist, a twilight scene was reflected.

As the sun rises, the red sun is slowly rising, dyeing the surrounding clouds with layers of pink, and at the same time reflecting the lake, the sky and the earth are shining at the same time.

There was a slender figure by the lake, leaning on a tree, looking at the lake, and his expression seemed to be a little disappointed.

At this time, as if she had seen something, she flicked her ponytail slightly, turned her head, and looked at this side with surprise and joy.

Xu Wenden stood up, looked at her from afar, walked around the pond, and walked quickly towards her.

And almost at the same time, even Lin Lin took a step and walked in his direction around the shore of the lake.

But this time it seems to be a little different from the last time, and the two finally come together, but there is a river in between, and there is no way to cross.

The river looked like an artificial ditch on Xu Wen's side, made of Taihu Lake stone, and there was no way to cross it directly. There was originally a wooden bridge over the canal, but it had decayed over time and rotted at the bottom of the canal, leaving only ruins that could not be used at all.

"I would have fixed this place if I knew it. Xu Wen looked at the bridge and regretted it very much.

"Is this your mansion?" Lian Linlin looked behind him curiously.

The last time the two met, it was too dark for her to see anything clearly, but now in the morning light, she finally saw a corner clearly.

The light of the morning sun shone on the dilapidated building, and she held her breath for a moment, as if this was the only thing left in her eyes.

"Yes. Xu Wen hurriedly answered, and also recognized the lake beside her, "You are still there, haven't you left?"

"Hmm...... I want to stay one more day and want to see you. Lian Linlin said, the figure began to shake and blur as the sun rose, Xu Wen quickly realized that time was running out, and she was about to leave.

In addition to missing, Xu Wen actually had one more thing he wanted to ask, and at this time he didn't have time to tell about Acacia anymore, so he opened his mouth and wanted to ask her if she had seen Master.

As a result, before he could say anything, he saw Lian Tianqing first.

At that moment, he suddenly understood what the so-called heavenly work without confusion meant!
