Jingdezhen is already very modern, there is no ancient atmosphere at all, and many household utensils have been replaced by glass except for bowls, plates, and plates, so porcelain has shrunk greatly, and it is difficult to have a market for fine porcelain, so the development of porcelain is now in an extremely embarrassing situation, and can only recall the glory of the past.

In the evening, Lin Yue came back to the hotel, and in the afternoon he wanted to go to the Jingdezhen History Museum, but the people did not accept guests after the recent renovation, so he could only go around other places.

Back in the room, Lin Yue called Qin Yaoyao to report that he was safe, and then took out a small wooden stake that he had asked for from the Jingdezhen timber yard today.

Today he is going to start practicing the first stage of the Carving Sutra: Simulacrum!

If you want to carve a creature vividly, you must not only have a meticulous observation of the creature, but also have a three-dimensional thinking, but also a subtle knife angle, and of course, the most important thing is a complex knife technique.

According to Lin Yue's master Chang Tai's teachings, it is obvious that Lin Yue practiced carving inanimate things on wood, such as leaves, such as a tree, and even carved a stone, and then carved living creatures in the later stage of imitation. This step-by-step approach can better lay a solid foundation.

What Lin Yue wants to carve today is to carve a teacup.

There is only a teacup in the shape of a teacup.

And you can only use the Cold Moon Carving Knife.

It's easy to carve on the outside, but it's hard to carve the hollow inside with a cold moon carving knife.

The ancestors have made it, can't I do it?

Lin Yue thought for a while that there was no good way, so he could only cheer himself up like this.

Putting the short wooden stake on the coffee table and fixing it, Lin Yue took a deep breath, took out the Cold Moon Carving Knife and started to split it directly at the wooden stake.

The Cold Moon Carving Knife can't help but blow off its hair and sharpen the iron like clay, and the wood is like tofu in front of it, and you can cut it however you want.

If it was an ordinary knife, Chang Tai might have Lin Yue start with the clods of earth, then wood, then stone, and finally metal. However, because the cold moon carving knife was too sharp, and Lin Yue's practice was not an ordinary carving technique, he directly chose wood to start.

The general shape of the entire cup appeared in Lin Yue's mind, and he first carved the purchased wood into a cylinder about the same size as the cup.

But soon, Lin Yue found out that something was wrong, the cup he carved had no handle, just a smooth cup.

Lin Yue sighed helplessly, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that he is still inexperienced, and he has forgotten a handlebar.

Forget it and play, break the jar and break it.

Lin Yue cut the cup into a cuboid, then cut the edge into one plane, and then cut the edge into two planes......

Thus the four flutes become eight ridges, and the eight ridges become sixteen ridges......

In this way, the outer edges are slowly corrected, and the edges and corners are gradually enlarged, and finally the whole cup tends to be cylindrical.

Seeing that the general shape had appeared, Lin Yue scraped it little by little with the blade against the outer wall of the wooden pillar.

Soon Lin Yue found that carpentry was really not a job that ordinary people could do, especially if he was still scraping with a carving knife, if the force was uneven, it was easy to scrape the wooden wall deep and shallow.

Lin Yue looked at the thinner and thinner wooden pillars, the wry smile on the corner of his mouth became even bigger, and if he scraped it down to pursue perfect smoothness, he might end up becoming a toothpick.

After scraping, Lin Yue began the most difficult hollowing out, but soon he had a way.

He touched the tip of the Cold Moon Knife to the surface of the stake, then tilted the blade, turned it in a circle, and used the blade to rotate a downward cone, revealing a cone-shaped gap.

In the same way, Lin Yue rotated the middle of the wooden pillar bigger and bigger, combining the large cone and the small cone, and soon the inside reached a sufficient depth, but the wooden wall was a little thick and uneven in some places.

Lin Yue processed it again and it became the shape of a wooden cup.

It's done.

Lin Yue looked at his first handicraft, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, although he thought very poorly, and he didn't even meet the most basic shape requirements of the mimic, but it was very gratifying for Lin Yue to be able to carve it like this for the first time.

Whoever makes perfect, it will be fine in the future.

After packing up the wood on the ground, Lin Yue began his daily compulsory course - splitting incense.

Splitting incense is still very necessary for Lin Yue at this stage.

Gujing Bubo is definitely the best state of carving, but the time he can hold on is too short, if he can hold on for an hour, Lin Yue will definitely become a grandmaster-level person in the carving world.

And Furui Bubo also seems to be very helpful for mimicry, and any object in a state of full concentration can remember all the features at a glance. It took Lin Yue nearly two hours to close a cup, while Gujing Bubo could hold on for thirty seconds at most. The time gap before and after is too big, and Lin Yue still has a long way to go.

After splitting the incense, Lin Yue fell asleep beautifully.

The next day, Lin Yue got up early, after a night's rest, the fatigue of last night disappeared, and Lin Yue was in a very good state at this time.

After having breakfast with He Changhe, He Changhe, Lin Yue, Jia Weigeng and his apprentice Zhang Huiming went to the museum that Lin Yue did not enter yesterday.

Going to the museum was arranged by Jingdezhen, but it was requested by He Changhe, because they came a little early, and the others had not yet arrived, so it was originally arranged to go together, but He Changhe took the opportunity to let Lin Yue learn more knowledge in order to take care of Lin Yue.

Jia Weigeng hasn't been to Jingdezhen for a long time, so he plans to visit it too. Where there is Jia Weigeng, there is naturally Zhang Huiming.

When they came to the museum, there were people waiting for them early, He Changhe declined the request of the staff to lead them to visit, and took Lin Yue and his party to visit.

The Jingdezhen Museum not only has fine porcelain, but also tools of ancient porcelain workers, as well as the strokes of the process of firing porcelain, and related myths and legends.

Although they are all related to porcelain and relatively simple, Lin Yue can feel the rich culture contained in them.

Porcelain originated from pottery, because of porcelain stone evolved into pottery, and pottery existed in primitive society, so traced back, the history of porcelain is almost accompanied by the history of the Chinese.

Compared with the age of porcelain, Lin Yue felt that his age of twenty-five was simply not worth mentioning.

Parasitic mayflies in the heavens and the earth, a millet in the sea. Mourn the moments of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. No wonder the ancients would have made such an emotion. In the face of the weight of history, human beings are indeed too small.

Lin Yue sighed secretly, looking at the exquisite porcelain, and at the same time had a deep admiration for those who have dedicated their lives to the cause of porcelain.
