Boss Tang looked at the pen holder in a daze, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

He reached out and took the pen holder, carefully stroked the shallow lines, and finally stopped at the four-character line book carved from bamboo green, which looked ancient and ancient.

This is Zhang Dai's evaluation of Pu Zhongqian, Jin Lingpai's freehand natural taste, carved out of the scenery is quite Chinese painting pen and ink interest, he didn't even know the edge, but under the knife of a wood carving master saw this ingenious skill again.

"Sure enough, you still have talent...... Boss Tang sighed: "Master Lu, I really believe now that you really haven't learned bamboo carving." ”

Lu Zi'an exited the live broadcast room and said suspiciously: "Hmm, what do you say?"

"If you've ever studied bamboo carving, you're not going to choose this kind of expression. Boss Tang held the pen holder and said with a wry smile: "The techniques of wood carving and bamboo carving are the same, but there are differences, the biggest difference is that the bamboo carving technique is completely different from the expression of the bas-relief of wood carving." ”

Lu Zi'an frowned and thought carefully: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand too much. ”

"Okay, let me tell you. Boss Tang raised the pen holder: "Master Lu, how much do you think your work can sell?"

Lu Zi'an shook his head: "I'm not sure, because this is my first time doing bamboo carving, but I think the price shouldn't be high." ”

"Yes, it's low. Boss Tang gently put the pen holder back on the coffee table: "I understand what you mean, you want to tell me that although the Gatding faction is very famous, the Jinling faction is also good, so you will engrave these four words, but, alas, Master Lu, you don't know the current market." ”

Lu Zi'an did have such thoughts, because when he used to read books, he preferred Pu Zhongqian's wanton freedom to Sanzhu.

"Let me tell you, these thin carvings are now shallow, and the manual can't match the machine at all!" Boss Tang got up and took off the two incense sticks from the case: "Look at it, can you see the difference?"

Lu Zi'an picked one up in one hand and looked at it carefully: "This one is artificial, with elegant lines and knife marks at the corners, and the one on the right is too sleek, without that kind of carving, it looks good, but there is no aura." ”

"Good eyesight. Boss Tang applauded him: "But you can see it, it's because you're an insider, if you show it to a layman, which one do you think he will buy?"

Lu Zi'an's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes shuttled back and forth between the two incense tubes.

In terms of the picture alone, of course, it is more beautiful without knife marks......

"He'll definitely buy this machine to engrave it. Boss Tang waved his hand: "I'm here, all of them are the hard work of my masters and disciples, some even have to carve a month, just for a line, they have to think about all kinds of things, each petal must be calm, to make sure that nothing goes wrong before the knife, once a knife is deep and shallow and crooked, the entire work is scrapped." ”

Lu Zi'an nodded: "In the slightest minute, I have the best skills." ”

"Yes, that's right. The more Boss Tang said, the more excited he became: "But what is the exchange? The longer it takes, the higher the price, but like this work, my master's may be able to sell thousands because he is a little famous, but my junior brother's can sell for 300 yuan, 300 yuan, what can I do?"

"And the machine, they only need to set it up, and they can engrave a painting in a few clicks, and they can print hundreds of copies a day! Each one sold for ten yuan is considered to be profitable! You say, what do we compare with others? I also admire Jin Ling bamboo carving in my heart, but the fact is that this kind of shallow carving relief machine can be done more perfectly, but the deep relief of the Jiading school, because many places directly use the carving technique, the machine can not copy, so the market prospect is very good!"

At the end, Boss Tang stood up directly and took several finished products from the middle: "This, this, can you see that it was engraved by the machine?"

Lu Zi'an smiled, his eyebrows were solemn: "Although I can understand, but Boss Tang, you are selling real and fake, how can machine carving and manual carving be confused? You can be said to be a deception, right?"

"Deception?" Boss Tang slapped his palm on the coffee table, and his tone was heavy: "No, I always tell customers directly which is manually engraved and which is machine-engraved, but in the end, guess what, they generally choose machine-engraved, why? ”

In the end, he was almost choked up: "Since the founding of the Jinling Sect, there have been so many geniuses, and there are even masters who can carve 60 layers on a bamboo tong that is only as thin as a piece of paper! Do you know how many years of skill that is? But what happened in the end? Sadly, now my Jinling bamboo carving is becoming less and less powerful, and there is not even a master who can handle it! They either turn to Jiading bamboo carving, or simply turn to bamboo root carving, because those machines can't carve it!"

The shallow Jin Ling bamboo carving bore the brunt and suffered a huge blow.

Lu Zi'an was silent, not knowing how to comfort him.

Language is pale and powerless at this moment, especially with the development of science and technology, there are fewer and fewer descendants of the Jin Ling faction, and in the long run, it may be that Jin Ling bamboo carvings will eventually disappear from people's field of vision.

After leaving from Boss Tang, Lu Zi'an didn't go to see anything else, there are many people watching the bamboo carving in Jiading, maybe there will be more people tomorrow, and Boss Tang will definitely be even more sad at that time, right?

Although Boss Tang has always admired the Jiading faction in his mouth, he still loves Jin Ling bamboo carving very much in his heart, otherwise he would not have revealed his true feelings so much.

Coming out of the bamboo carving area, Lu Zi'an paused in front of the door, did not enter the wood carving area, and went back to the hotel directly.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he looked at the beautiful winter sun scenery, and his heart was a little dazed.

Although he didn't practice Jin Ling bamboo carving, after opening the beautiful illusion on the surface, he was also a little sad to see the bloody reality.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad.

The rapid development of science and technology will inevitably have a huge impact on traditional crafts, and now it is limited, so it is not obvious, if one day, they can develop a machine that can be fine to carve, what should the traditional craft do?

It is not enough to expect the sympathy of others and give yourself the strength to support, the important thing is to stand up yourself.

Wood carving can combine the strengths of many families, so what about bamboo carving?

It is inevitable that the shallow engraving can be reproduced, but perhaps a way can be found so that it cannot be replaced......

Lu Zi'an's thoughts flew in his mind, from bamboo carving to wood carving, wood carving has actually encountered a lot of impact now, just because the cultural heritage is here, so the market prospect is still relatively good, but he feels that this is not enough.

However, if the strengths of all families are fused, it will definitely have an impact on the original faction......

"Brother Zi'an, it's time to eat. Shen Mange brought the meal directly.

Lu Zi'an sighed and sat down at the table.

Shen Mange took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks and handed them to him: "Give." ”

Taking it casually, Lu Zi settled for two seconds, then turned back, stared at the familiar "chopsticks", and said a little stiffly: "Manman, this, you use it to hold chopsticks?"

Glancing at the chopstick holder, Shen Mange nodded lightly: "Then you were walking so fast, Boss Tang caught up and said that it was yours, so I stuffed it directly into my bag, just now the waiter took a handful of chopsticks and came over and there was no place to put it, so I put it inside, don't you think, it's quite appropriate." ”
