751 A knife is like a pen
At this time, Xu Wenzheng sat calmly in the middle of a large house in Pingzhen, doing the work at hand wholeheartedly.
He was surrounded by a screen with more cameras and reflectors in front of it — specially designed not to make him uncomfortable — and behind the screen were full of people.
All of them were quiet, rarely communicating, and even occasionally speaking softly and concisely, lest they disturb the people inside.
They watched with great concentration at the work of the people inside the door. Before coming here, if someone told them that they would stand here together, like an apprentice, learning such a young technique in their twenties, they would definitely roll your eyes and tell you coldly that you really thought too much.
There is nothing more wonderful than this.
The fact is that they are standing here right now, holding their breath and concentrating, and some of them are still looking at it, and at the same time, they can't help but gesture and figure it out.
Standing here is not only wood carving, but also almost all other masters.
Yes, it's all masters, they don't have enough level, they don't even have the qualifications to squeeze behind this screen, and they don't see that there are still many people standing in the courtyard outside the door?
Of course, there is not enough level, and there is no more to be seen from Xu Wen's work in categories other than carpentry.
Only when you reach a certain level can you feel the unity of things.
At this time, Xu Wen was using a flat knife.
Flat knives have a straight edge and are mainly used to smooth out uneven parts of the surface of the wood, making them smoother.
At this time, Xu Wen was using it to "chisel large", that is, to carve and shape a relatively large shape.
His movements are wide open, powerful, and extremely decisive. With each knife drop, a large piece of waste falls with the knife, revealing the shape underneath. Although it is still impossible to see what he carved out in the end, this action alone already has a unique beauty.
Wu Sien thought very carefully, and the people in the courtyard outside the hall couldn't see the situation inside the room, so he set up a large screen for these insiders who couldn't enter the hall to discuss.
In front of the big screen, a young man was looking around, and when he saw Xu Wen's movements, he said, "Why is it a bit like painting?"
"It's meant to be interconnected. A middle-aged man next to him glanced at him with a strange expression, as if wondering how he was mixed in by such a stunned young man, "The knife technique of carving is the brushwork of painting." Look at the twists and turns, the setbacks, the bumps, the ups and downs...... It's really, so beautiful, so beautiful......"
The young man looked left and right, and a group of people were shaking their heads, looking strange and funny.
An old carpenter took the opportunity to whisper to his apprentice: "See, this is carving." When carving, the knife is like the penmanship. The process of carving is the process by which you paint on wood. So when carrying the knife, you must not cower and be petty!"
The apprentice nodded again and again like a quail, but the master seemed to remember something, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and continued to criticize, "Think about what you carved last time, is that called painting?
"I want to too...... apprentice whispered, quite aggrieved, "but the wood is not good, a knife encountered a knot scar in the past, and the knife was crooked by accident, and the side was cut off." I want to hurry up too......"
"It's a matter of proficiency and concentration. Find out what happens to the wood, and there are different ways to deal with each situation. It's not for you to mess around, it's to be at ease!"
This master's personal skills may be good, but he is certainly not very good at teaching disciples.
The people next to him frowned when they heard him.
This apprentice doesn't sound like he has enough basic skills, and the master is obviously teaching him carving now, which is obviously a bit of a sprout.
When an apprentice is just getting started, he must repeatedly hone his basic knife skills and be familiar with the various different situations of various types of wood.
How can you be comfortable and let go if you rush to get started without even mastering these?
However, it is also true that these basic skills must be honed repeatedly in order to form a firm feel. Because raw materials such as wood are different from made paper after all, the situation is richer, more complex and more unknown, and there will be more accidents.
With enough knives and enough experience on enough wood, you can be sure of many things, know how to deal with them, and go further, have the leeway to realize your ideas.
All of these need to be accumulated, and the more people feel, how did Xu Wen do this at such a young age?
Looking at him like this, it seems that he has been tempered a lot, and he is no longer familiar with these basic skills and advanced requirements!
At this time, at the edge of the crowd, there was a person who no one could see, who was also looking at Xu Wen intently.
Lian Tianqing did not leave today, but kept watching Xu Wen's work.
He rarely reminisced about the past, but at this time, he remembered when Xu Wen had just arrived at the old wood yard.
At that time, he was still a child on the outside, but it was clear that he was more calm and mature than his peers, and one of the most prominent points was his self-control. It was not so easy for a child of his age to be able to repeat the same work over and over again until he had fully mastered the eighteen skills.
But at that time, even Tianqing didn't pay much attention to it. When he was young, he traveled all over the world, saw many people and many things, and knew that there were many wonders in this world, and any kind of genius could appear.
- Actually, at his own age, he was able to achieve such concentration.
It was as if he could naturally feel the slightest change in each practice and knew the way forward. And all of this naturally motivates him to keep moving forward.
At that time, he thought that Xu Wen was also like this.
However, it didn't take long for him to discover that Xu Wen was indeed like this, but it was more than that.
Indeed, as everyone knows, wood is unknown and complex, and so are the corresponding eighteen tricks, which seem simple, but are actually varied.
It includes a variety of knife techniques and tool usage, as well as a variety of wood-related hyperplasia such as knots and cracks.
It simplifies all the complexities into this simple technique, and the person who created it in the first place is really a genius.
However, it is also because it incorporates so many things that it takes enough practice to really master it, and you have to work on wood in a variety of different conditions until you have it in your muscles.
Lian Tianqing really created excellent learning conditions for Xu Wen. The old wood yard itself has collected countless timber that even Tianqing finds very interesting, covering almost all cases of wood, common and uncommon.
But Xu Wen's learning progress was still much faster than he imagined.
After a year of mastering the two eighteen skill, even Tianqing didn't say anything on the surface, but he was actually really surprised.
Of course, when he went to Xu's house later, he knew the special situation there, and also knew the real reason why Xu Wen was able to do this.
But even so, he still hasn't changed his evaluation of him.
In an environment where time stands still, and in an environment completely closed from the outside world, he can maintain enough concentration to do the same thing consistently, he asks himself, even [5200 www.bqg5200.biz] himself may not be able to do it.
In Xu Wen's heart, there must be enough love and persistence.
Today, at such an age, he deserves to have such a performance.
Flat knives are like oil paintings, mainly used for the accumulation of large areas of color or shapes. The flat knife has a blade, which can be engraved when turning, and a deep groove will be formed when the two knives meet, forming a distinct style.
Each of Xu Wen's knives is very stable, accurate, and ruthless, and the knives are powerful, rough and bold. He is extremely accurate in his stereotype, and he clearly and accurately summarizes the natural form.
It's like a language, some people are still learning someone else's, and Xu Wen has formed his own voice.
Gradually, there were no words inside and outside the house again, and everyone was quiet, as if they were all listening, the only voice in this world.
