Lian Tianqing took Xu Wen into his reference room again, and took a picture album from another shelf.

He opened the album, turned to a page, and sent it to Xu Wen: "Look at this." ”

Xu Wen looked over inexplicably.

Even Tianqing's album collects all kinds of carvings or object patterns of different styles and types, and there may be other categories, but what Xu Wen sees now is wood carving.

What appeared in front of him now was a screen, nine of which were very large, with fine carvings, and took up two pages.

The screen is carved with a dragon and phoenix auspicious picture, the picture is gorgeous and exquisite, the dragon body and the phoenix feather are intertwined, extremely magnificent. But this kind of magnificence is not frivolous, the posture of the dragon and phoenix is dignified and solemn, and it is very atmospheric.

Xu Wen's gaze quickly fell on the claws of the giant dragon on the left: "Five-clawed dragon......?

"This is a royal offering, and it is a birthday gift from Sun Boran Jin to the emperor the year before last. Lian Tianqing said plainly.

Xu Wen's eyes widened. For a moment he didn't know which side to be surprised.

Lian Tianqing has been cowering in the old wooden field, how did he get the pattern of the emperor's birthday gift last year?

Furthermore, this is Sun Boran's work?

It's too different from what Xu Wen saw before, right? It's like being pierced by someone's soul!

"The ones I showed you before were made by Sun Boran before he was thirty years old. He's sixty-eight years old, and he's doing such boring stuff right now. Lian Tianqing pouted and said.

"It's normal for your style to change when you're older......" Xu Wen was silent for a while, helping to explain.

"It's true that you lose your spirituality when you're older, but he's not quite. Now he somehow hates his previous style very much, thinking that it is a strange skill and ingenious, and he can't get into the hall of elegance. Lian Tianqing looked at Xu Wen and said meaningfully.

Xu Wen opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again in an instant.

He understood what Lian Tianqing meant.

The Wisher on the Bait was his first wood carving that took a great deal of painstaking care to restore.

It's not for nothing that even Tianqing will give him this as material for his first restoration.

He has a good eye, and he can see at a glance that Xu Wen's personal preferences and style are in line with this type, and he himself likes this style, which can make him more engaged in the early stage of his work and be more focused on doing these things.

But inevitably, beginner works have a great impact on a person, and Xu Wen is still far from reaching the level of accumulation and digestion.

Therefore, now his personal creative style inevitably brings a strong "genius Sun Boran" characteristics, good at the rejection of scenes and characters, and is full of interest and attractiveness in the agility.

It stands to reason that as he grows older and more experienced, he will concentrate and filter more of his predecessors' creations and his own deeper understanding, and finally precipitate into his own unique style.

But even Tianqing's judgment is that this is at least ten years later, and the current Xu Wen is far from reaching that level.

In other words, the "genius Sun Boran" brand on his body now is visible to the naked eye and is difficult to get rid of.

Sun Boran's works when he was young would be specially collected by Lian Tianqing, and he collected so much, and specially taught it to Xu Wen, proving that this is indeed a good thing.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Wen went to the exam with the eighteen coincidences and this creative style, which can be said to be invincible.

But coincidentally, his chief examiner this year is Sun Boran himself, and he himself is particularly disgusted with his creative style when he was young!

The creation of the craftsman, like any art, has its objectivity on a technical level, but it is also subjective on an aesthetic level.

When the examiner had obvious feelings of liking and disliking, Xu asked how to get a fair evaluation, successfully pass the apprenticeship test, and get the desired results?

Even Tianqing didn't expect that Xu Wen had already encountered a huge difficulty before the exam started!

"It's a little unlucky......," Xu asked, speechless.

"It's unlucky. Even Tianqing rarely has a little sympathy.

But since the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is useless to say more.

"Practice the eighteen tricks well, and it will definitely not be a problem for you to pass the test. Whether you can help Zhicheng take revenge depends on your luck. ”

Lian Tianqing never talked nonsense about superfluous things, and after saying this, he planned to go out, Xu Wen stared at the screen on the album, looked up and asked, "Master, can you take this album back for me to see?"

"You feel free. Lian Tianqing waved his hand, and Xu Wen carefully closed the album and took it out.

There is a corner of the old wood yard, under a large ginkgo tree, with stone tables and stone benches, shaded by trees, and it is very shady even in the middle of summer, and it is a good place to escape the heat.

Their brothers and sisters often come here to sit down when they are resting after work, the breeze blows, and they chatte a few words, and the fatigue of Fang Cai will naturally dissipate cleanly.

Now that there was no one here, Xu Wen sat down and opened the album and turned to that page again.

Now his level has been able to distinguish the styles of different craftsmen, so he can easily see that only this page of this album is the work of Lao Sun Boran, and the front and back are other people's.

The young Sun Boran collected a whole volume of Lian Tianqing's works, which can also be seen how much Lian Tianqing disliked his style when he was old.

However, as far as Xu Wen is concerned, the style of the elderly Sun Boran still has the style of a master.

It is true that the works of this master craftsman from different eras seem to have been created by a different person, but genius is genius, no matter what kind of style, he can control it, and can form his own unique and distinctive characteristics.

The screen created by the elderly Sun Boran is dignified and upright, and the form of the dragon and phoenix does lack some of the agility and interest of life, but this legendary creature is not the creative material of life.

Master Sun introduced some exotic styles, giving the pair of dragons and phoenixes a sense of flattened imagery, more abstract, and some modern design feel.

On the basis of this abstraction, the scales, feathers and other details of the dragon and phoenix themselves are rich and beautiful, which makes them both dazzling and fluid, and they are well-deserved to become royal offerings.

No wonder even Lian Tianqing, who dislikes the style of the elderly Sun Boran, will include it in the album......

From this screen alone, it can be seen that although Sun Boran's style has changed, the level is still there, and he is still a real master.

Of course, it is a good thing that the examiner has a high level, but it is really a bit troublesome that personal likes and dislikes are too obvious.

After all, although Xu Wen can also appreciate Sun Boran's current works, his style has been built on the basis of the young Sun Boran in the past year, and once this thing is established, it is really not a matter of a day or two to change.

I don't know why his style has changed drastically, and he sees his former self like a beast.

Xu Wen looked at the picture on the album, touched his chin and thought, is it modern design......

All of a sudden, countless patterns seen on TV, in movies, in magazines, and on the streets and alleys came to his mind.

Unconsciously, he was so engrossed that he didn't even hear Lin Lin appear in front of him, and he didn't even hear him shout three times.
