Li Xiuxiu brought the mobile phone, Rong Xian opened the lock screen, flipped out the photo album, and said, "These photos, you look down." ”

Li Xiuxiu didn't need him to say it.

Rong Xian took pictures very methodically, and a set of sets were taken of logs, patterns, wood cuts, and the big portraits of the painters, and the causes and consequences of this small competition can be seen at once.

Li Xiuxiu looked down and saw the first one, a piece of wood with bark, which felt like it had been put for a long time, and it was covered with thick ash and messy.

Looking at it like this, let alone the internal situation, how it is wood Li Xiuxiu can't recognize it.

Because the old man likes antiques, especially antique furniture, Li Xiuxiu specially went to learn some related knowledge.

Ordinary antique furniture, she can recognize what material it is from, and she can also distinguish the good from the bad. But in the face of such a log, it is really at a loss......

Li Xiuxiu really looked at the log for a while, shook his head, and flipped to the next one.

Below is a line drawing on paper, drawn with charcoal, Li Xiuxiu only glanced at it and exclaimed: "Well drawn!"

Although it is a charcoal brush, it paints the feeling of dry ink with a brush, which is full of antiquity.

It has simple lines and a simple structure, and two or three strokes outline the shape of the log. Li Xiuxiu couldn't help but swipe the photo, flip back to the previous one, and compare it back and forth.

Although the lines are simple, you can tell at a glance that the drawing is the piece of wood, and the shapes on both sides are extremely close, almost identical!

Interestingly, the artist casually drew some features of the surface of this log. The log photos were a bit dark and the dust was a little thick, and Li Xiuxiu hadn't noticed these details at all before, but now that he drew them, she saw them immediately, and she thought they were so vivid that she wondered how she could have ignored them before.

It's just a lot of fun.

Moreover, through these superficial features, the artist continued to delve deeper and speculate on its interior.

This is not a random guess, Li Xiuxiu can see the logic.

For example, there will be nodules on the inside of the wood, which is something that the handlers of the wood do not want to encounter in most cases.

But how did knots come about? Did they come into being out of thin air?

Of course not.

Although it is naturally formed, it is usually produced due to external forces.

Cracks, accidental damage, fractures, and various external injuries on the surface of the wood will affect the growth of the wood, making it difficult to adapt, some scars will only appear on the surface, and some will penetrate into the inside, deposit, and form permanent traces.

The painter deduced the internal situation from the size damage and slight changes on the outside, and judged the position and size of the nodules, which was extremely clear, and Li Xiuxiu understood it instantly.

Makes sense, yes!

She was about to continue looking down when she suddenly noticed some symbols next to the screen, very unfamiliar symbols that she had never seen before.

"What is this?" she asked Rong Xian directly.

"I also asked, I heard that it is a popular set of languages within their class, and the name is very interesting, called Craftsman Yan. However, mainly because most of them are not very literate, this set of symbols has been simplified to indicate some common meanings in the work. Rong Xian explained, "For example, the top few lines are the general situation of this log, length, width and height. That's right!"

His eyes lit up, he straightened up from the bathtub, and said with great interest, "These are all what they have seen by sight, and no ruler is used!"

He turned his head sideways, pointed to the top rows of symbols, and said, "Do you know how specific this is? This is a zhang, this is a ruler, this is an inch, this is a minute! The size of a zhang is all a visual inspection! Later, the teacher tried to measure it, and it was exactly the same, and it was not bad at all! It was too good, it was too good, and the best thing was that all three of them could do it!"

He followed the example of those people, squinted his eyes, looked at the bathtub, and said firmly, "This should be six feet five inches long!"

“...... A bathtub of one meter and eight five, how can you tell that it is six feet five inches?" Li Xiuxiu said helplessly.

"Oh...... The brain is pumped, one meter eighty-five is five feet five inches......" Rong Xian was stunned.

"In short, they're so good!" Rong Xian hurriedly changed the topic, "Have you seen the following lines, and they are drawn out for marking." It's all size, and there are also types of knots. Let me tell you, there are many kinds of wooden knots, according to the shape of the section, there are round knots, strip knots and palmar knots. In addition, there are also dead festivals, living festivals and missing festivals, for example, this place is marked as a living festival, which refers to ......"

He talked eloquently, although it was obviously copied, but he spoke very well, Li Xiuxiu listened and nodded again and again: "I have learned a lot." ”

"Of course!" said Sakae.

Li Xiuxiu flipped to the next photo and was surprised again.

This is a cross-sectional view of the interior of the wood, and it is very clear that the condition is very similar to the previous picture, with 80% of all the nodules above the size of a finger showing!

Among the relatively large nodules, 20% could not be shown, and Li Xiuxiu probably guessed the reason.

These 20% of the nodules do not seem to have anything to do with external damage and should be internal.

Even if it is a powerful craftsman, he does not have a see-through eye, and there are no traces on the outside, how can he see it on the inside?

Of course, there are also smaller, sesame-sized pores that are not entirely marked, and understandable.

There are several sections, with different sides, but they are all summarized in the second drawing, and I feel that the latter is a little clearer than the former.

The last photo of this set is the "contestant", Li Xiuxiu guessed who it should be before seeing this one, and then when he looked at it, it was indeed Lu Ah Mao.

"Sure enough, it's old-fashioned. She said approvingly, "He should be able to win, right?"

"NONONONO, IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE. Rong Xian shook his head again and again, "Keep watching, keep watching." ”

Sure enough, the second set alone is obviously stronger than this one.

In terms of penmanship, the two are not as old-fashioned, but they are more concise, and there is no superfluous decoration at all. As a result, while it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, it's clearly ahead of it in terms of accuracy.

The most important thing is that one draws a nodule the size of a finger or more, and the other involves even smaller ones, which are usually formed by insects and other reasons, in fact, they can also be observed on the surface, but they are not visible to ordinary people.

This proves that the observation power of two far exceeds that of one, and this degree can almost be regarded as a talent.

But it is worth noting that he also only paints 80% of the internal situation, which proves that the internal change is indeed almost invisible.

The completion of the second set is Lu Yuan, who has surpassed the old-timers at a young age, and his talent is really amazing, no wonder it is regarded as the hope of the future of the class.

Needless to say, the third set must have been Xu Wen.

It's probably similar to Lu Yuan's.

Li Xiuxiu has a very high evaluation of Xu Wen, but there are some things that can't be done, just can't be done.

She thought.

She flipped through two photos in a row, and went directly to the pattern painted by Xu Wen.
