Chapter 399: The Ultimate Artistic Conception of Jade Carving
Using Buddha as the theme is actually a very challenging thing.
There is a saying that "it is easier to draw a ghost than to draw a person", which means that everyone is familiar with the appearance of people, and it is difficult to depict them accurately, while the appearance of ghosts is basically unseen, and you can draw them however you want.
In fact, what is more difficult than drawing people is drawing Buddha.
Because painting Buddha must refer to how to draw people, which can resonate in the owner's heart, but not too "humane", it must bring some otherworldly temperament - in short, it must have both "human appearance" and "Buddha nature".
And on this basis, it is even more difficult to show this characteristic of the Buddha in jade.
Lu Zi'an slowly rubbed the jade in his hand, groaning slightly, he didn't want to directly carve the demeanor of the Buddha, he wanted to challenge the ultimate artistic conception of jade carving - the transformation realm.
Holding the jade and holding the toolbox that the monk went down the mountain to help him get, Lu Zi'an slowly walked through the corridor.
Between walking, there is no hurry or slow, and the whole body seems to have a gentle breeze, and the mind is extremely relaxed.
"Context" is a unique category in Chinese art theory and aesthetics, and it is the highest level that marks the aesthetic value of a work.
The transformation environment contains the profound heritage of "the unity of heaven and man" and "the unity of all things" in Chinese philosophy.
It cannot be spoken, but can only be understood, from the perspective of poetry, it refers to the kind of "exquisite, thorough, unattainable" state of chaos.
Lu Zi'an never dared to carve Buddha easily, because he knew very well that his state of mind was not yet complete, and the works he made would not have the true Buddha's meaning.
"Transformation of the environment" is a state of forgetting the self and the body, the body and the materialization, rather than deliberately seeking and meditating.
If you want to achieve this state, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable.
And at this moment, Lu Zi'an felt that the time had come.
He opened the toolbox and saw his bamboo flute, which he hadn't even had time to play properly after he had done it.
Fingers gently stroked the body of the flute, and Lu Zi'an's expression was calm and indifferent.
With a slight movement in his mind, he slowly closed his eyes and slowly brought the flute to his lips.
Lu Zi'an was long and jade, facing the breeze, and his clothes were fluttering.
In the silence, the melodious sound of the flute swirls in the quiet forest, the melodious sound of the flute, the longer you listen to it, the more quiet it is in your heart.
Without any audience, at this moment, he played only for himself.
The wind blew through the treetops, bringing a bamboo leaf.
The sound of bamboo and the sound of the flute blended peacefully, and Lu Zi'an seemed to have a scene in front of him.
The summer heat had all gone, and he could vaguely see himself walking through the bamboo forest, with soft white clouds under his feet.
The body and mind are extremely clear, and there are wind puff sleeves, as if they will return with the wind in the next second.
The fish jumps over the clear stream, the bird crosses the cold pool, and every scene is a scene.
Finally, with the melodious sound of the flute, he seemed to be standing on the top of the clouds, looking down on the land of China.
The vastness of heaven and earth, time passes in a hurry, and the Buddha will always remain in his heart.
At the end of the song, Lu Zi'an slowly opened his eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and slowly picked up the Kunwu knife.
Picking up this Kunwu knife again, Lu Zi'an no longer had the desire to pursue exquisite and elegant in his heart.
He picked up the jade material, started warm, the jade is pure, it is rare that there is no cotton at all, the whole piece of jade is transparent and clear, and it is impermeable, it seems that it can be seen to the end at a glance, but it is looming.
This kind of sultry beauty made Lu Zi'an feel very fond of it as soon as he got it, but he never found a suitable theme and couldn't bear to go under the knife.
Now that I think about it, it is also a kind of fate, and it may be waiting for the fate that belongs to it.
Lu Zi'an inhaled slightly, and did not use the tip of the knife to depict, but slowly sketched elegant lines on the surface of the jade with the blade.
With such jade, at first glance it seems to be a pool of still water droplets, and it is simply bad to carve the Buddha directly.
However, it is probably the only case of a sword like Lu Zi'an, who uses a combination of relief and openwork to outline the top of the surging waves.
It's just that Lu Zi'an is not satisfied.
He picked up the jade material whole, and shook it slightly at the light.
At a certain moment, when the jade reflects the brilliant light, you will find that through the waves, a faint golden light looms!
This is it!
Lu Zi'an did not hesitate, picking on this gap, and the tip of the knife was slightly picked.
After his slight adjustment, the waves have a sense of softness that returns to the basics.
Although it was still entangled and poured down, there was no trace of suppression, and at the confluence of the two streams of water, Lu Zi'an gently turned the tip of the knife and carved it into a delicate hole.
When it was pointed at the light source again, the golden light smeared the upper half of the jade.
No, it's not water anymore.
It's the cloud.
It's a dragon.
Two cloud dragons hovered down from the sky and converged in this small piece of jade.
Lu Zi'an's fingertips slowly rubbed the jade body, and he didn't use a small brush to brush it anymore, but blew it gently.
Thin as dust, thin as smoke.
The jade shavings were alarmed and fled timidly, but they fell in an instant, looking curiously.
The whole piece of jade material, naturally stretched, in the palm of Lu Zi'an's hand, as if it had become the most well-behaved pet.
Lu Zi'an held the knife in his right hand and began to carve the Buddha's body with the tip of the knife.
His heart was still immersed in the sound of the flute, and his body seemed to float in the clouds.
The knife, which was originally a little heavy, moved his wrist slightly, and it had sunk into the jade gently, as light as a butterfly.
Buddha, meditate.
Obviously it was a whole piece of jade, but Lu Zi'an carved it into several layers.
The Buddha is a layer, the sea of clouds is a layer, the clouds and waves that are entwined down are a layer, and the huge waves behind the Buddha are another layer.
Four-layer skillful carving, in today's jade carving world, there are also people who have such skills, but they are all on the huge jade carving.
It is unheard of to want to combine these skills so lightly and delicately on a small piece of jade ornament so inconspicuously.
The earth-shattering waves carved are magnificent, but they give people a soft and gentle feeling, without a trace of murder.
At this time, looking at it again, the cloud dragon that poured down on the Buddha and gradually annihilated, could not tell whether it was cloud or water.
If it's clouds, why are the sea and the sky connected?
If it is water, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and it is clearly the light of the Buddha.
However, in such an artistic conception, the Buddha body is still the most eye-catching existence.
Lu Zi'an carved intently, and every knife was extremely attentive.
In the most pious gesture, he depicts the Buddha in his heart.
……
"Where is Master Lu?" someone was wandering around the Tianmen Mountain Temple.
"I don't know, I really saw him! I even had breakfast with him, I was so excited!"
As more and more such news came out, more and more people couldn't help but come to Tianmen Mountain Temple.
There is curiosity, and more doubts.
Master Lu didn't do the live broadcast either, and he didn't participate in other activities, did he come to the temple to relax? Or are you really ready to become a monk?
Some people even went to Shen Mange's Weibo to leave a message: [Sister Bai! Fahai is back in the rivers and lakes, go and save the master!]
What is it, Shen Mange couldn't cry or laugh, he was annoyed, and replied casually: [Wait for me to cultivate the right path of immortals, and then fly with my husband. 】
[Double Flying? The young lady has a really strong taste...... But I like it!I nominate myself, I want to sign up!]
There is a long queue at the bottom to sign up.
"......" Shen Mange couldn't wait to chop off his hand, why was he so cheap!
But jokes aside, Shen Mange also knew that the situation was serious, although after Zou Kai came back to support, the other party immediately disappeared, but the news sent before will not disappear.
At this time, it's too late to delete or something, but there is a feeling of wanting to cover up, which is not good.
Therefore, there is really no good way to undo the impact at the moment.
Zhuo Peng obviously also saw her Weibo, and sent a sentence directly: [Don't delete Weibo for the time being. 】
[Why!] Shen Mange is almost crazy: [Shame, ahhhh
[Attract firepower.] 】
After reading this sentence, Shen Mange suddenly silenced.
This method, although a bit rude, is also a good way to divert attention.
She pulled her hair, pulled it a few times, threw her phone aside, and took out the mock test paper: "Okay, okay, I don't want the image or anything, you carnival!"
In fact, what she said was really right, netizens did carnival.
At first, they just recommended themselves, and then they began to look for CPs, and some even took some celebrities to make up for it.
The topic is gradually crooked, and it is still a little hot, if it is not too yellow to be on the hot search, I am afraid it will soar all the way to the rankings.
"What a mess of this stuff!" Chongyun frowned and slapped the table: "What year, what queen is attacked, what is this?"
"Ahem. Feng Wuxi's face was slightly red, a little embarrassed: "This is ......"
He was very entangled, stumbling to explain the meaning of this, and his face turned red.
Suddenly turned his head and glared at him, Chongyun slowed down for a while before coming back to his senses: "Let you stare at people to brush the heat, how did you get such a ...... it!"
Feng Wuxi didn't know how to explain to Chongyun, there were too many rotten girls now, and there were even those who paired him with Lu Zi'an, which almost didn't make him vomit blood, and this kind of thing was just the entertainment of netizens, and it was impossible for him to come forward to reprimand, he was also desperate......
"That's not going to work. Chongyun took a sip of tea and relaxed a little, but his face was still ugly: "You think of a way to make people take their attention away, or find these stars, aren't they also named, they definitely don't like to be ...... Ahem, you go and arrange it!"
"Okay. Feng Wuxi immediately started to make arrangements, but the strange thing was that the news that was handed out turned out to be all in vain.
Many celebrities watched happily, and opened a trumpet to give a wave of likes, and the eighteenth-tier starlets who were not nominated even went into battle in person, secretly frustrating and writing their names on the trumpet.
Tut-tut, a good opportunity to blatantly rub Master Lu's popularity, don't do it for fools!
They don't charge for advertising either!
Fortunately, in the evening, Shen Mange finally deleted her comment, and the heat slowly decreased.
Before Chongyun could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a well-known director directly Aite Lu Zi'an and Shen Mange and a group of highly famous artists, without saying anything, just a handshake expression, plus a short video.
What's going on here?
