After that, Qin Huai paused and took a break.

Although the body is paused, the mind is still galloping.

Countless assumptions are changed in the CPU like code, correcting ......

Until an eye-catching idea became clearly visible in his mind, Qin Huaifang picked up the carving knife with a steady breath.

Although the movements may seem casual, in reality, they are nothing more than a light lift.

No matter what kind of creation, Qin Huai has never relaxed, on the contrary, once he enters the creation, his spirit will be in a state of high concentration, like a taut bowstring.

With the state in place, Qin Huai began to use a carving knife to cut the stump drastically.

"Huh?"

Shang Ya pursed her red lips in surprise, Qin Huai's little brother had not carved like this before.

In the past, Qin Huai's little brother would directly calculate how much material to lose, at which angle to cut the knife, and how many millimeters to cut into the wood......

With accurate calculations, he often stabbed in place, looking clean and powerful.

This carving style is something that other carvers can't imitate, and at the same time, it is also a high-end show-off skill.

And now, Qin Huai's little brother is actually sketching the outline of the wood carving step by step?

Shang Ya was a little incredulous.

I saw Qin Huai advancing from bottom to bottom, from front to back, from the surface to the inside, from shallow to deep.

That gentle and slow movement can not be described as cautious, walking on thin ice.

This......

Shang Ya was speechless, her curiosity was aroused, what kind of works would Qin Huai's little brother carve in this situation?

"This is called chiseling rough embryos, and it is the first step in the wood carving process.

That is, the overall composition is expressed in a generalized geometry.

For example, the human brain is peeled out into a circle.

For example, a snake outlines a cuboid.

Just be able to see a little bit of meaning, and don't worry about other details.

The most important thing is to ensure its overall sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality. That's the priority. ”

Qin Huai chiseled the rough embryo and casually explained to Shang Ya.

Because there are too many places to take care of this carving, plus the whole wood carving needs to stand up with a small snake tail as the fulcrum......

Therefore, his movements were more 'retracted', and he did not let go of his hands and feet, and opened the carving of the bow left and right.

After all, this time.

Qin Huai was extremely ambitious.

While cutting off the excess wood, it is also necessary to take care of the center of gravity of the whole wood carving, so that the geometric center of gravity of the wood carving falls steadily on the tail of the snake.

In this way, it can be turned upside down.

explained to Shang Ya, and Qin Huai continued to immerse himself in creation.

The next step is to chisel the embryo and refine.

Qin Huai no longer spoke much, but moved the knife like a pen, the wonderful pen was full of flowers, and there was nothing else in his eyes except the cypress.

Thin wooden flowers were sprinkled on the table and sprinkled on Qin Huai's slender fingers.

The translucent cypress flowers are very oily, and every time you chisel for a while, you have to wipe the wood flowers on the blade, and at the same time wipe the sawdust between your fingers, because whether the sticky sawdust sticks to the blade or the skin, it is very difficult to operate.

When the fine embryo is chiseled, the whole wood carving can already be glimpsed.

In the wood carving, you can intuitively see the two human body snake tail statues.

If you look closely, you can vaguely argue the appearance of the two, one is a woman, with soft and delicate facial features, and the other is a man, with resolute and peaceful facial features.

Looking down, there are two thick and plump snake tails coiled with each other, because of the natural material of the cypress, the two snake tails are twisted and coiled, which looks very powerful!

Qin Huai's fingertips wiped around the body of the cypress wood, wiping off all the sawdust.

"Fuxi and Nuwa!"

Shang Ya saw the clue, this is the three emperors and five emperors in ancient mythology, belonging to the ancestors of the Chinese nation and the level of faith.

"Well, this work is different from the subject matter that is popular today.

Modern woodcarvers are keen to carve Buddhist figures, and even began to carve Catholic religious figures.

If you go to the market, you will find that religious sculptures occupy seventy or eighty percent of wood carvings!

But are we religious as a nation?"

Qin Huai asked rhetorically, with a negative tone in his tone.

He does not reject carving Buddhist themes, but compared with religion, we have so many magnificent themes in the past 5,000 years, and it will bring more spiritual resonance to people. Why is Buddhism so popular?"

Qin Huai said lightly, his eyes gentle.

"At the end of the day, it's the woodcarvers who are lazy!

During the Southern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished, and carvers studied a complete set of carving theories when carving Buddha statues.

At this point, the woodcarvers of later generations only need to inherit it, and they are no longer too lazy to develop. And this laziness continues to this day......"

Qin Huai shook his head, slightly disappointed.

If someone is willing to go to the wood carving market and look for a dozen Buddha statues, you will find that their shapes are too similar!

As long as the wood carver learns to carve one kind of Buddha statue, he can learn to carve thousands of Buddha statues.

In this context, laziness is inevitable.

But to this day, if you are still blindly immersed in the carving of Buddha statues, immersed in the self-satisfaction of eating all over the world.

Our culture will never be able to reach the rest of the world.

Sculpture and painting are the two major categories of art in the world!

There are also two main styles of collecting and creating art in the world.

One is called the court style.

Most of the court works are splendid, with wrong color and gold, and Qionglin Yushu...... It can be described as exhaustive luxury.

The other is called the humanistic style.

Humanities refers to the advanced, scientific, excellent, and healthy parts of human culture.

If a work wants to have humanistic feelings.

It is necessary to promote an excellent, advanced, scientific and healthy culture.

Is Buddhism worthy of the word humanities?

Maybe there is a little bit of humanism, but that is not the humanities of the Chinese nation.

The Chinese family only believes in the ancestors, believes in Nuwa to make up for the sky, believes in Jingwei reclamation, believes in the first ancestor of the emperor, believes in Shennong to taste a hundred herbs, believes in Dayu to control the water, believes in 'princes and generals, rather has a kind of', and believes that people will win the day.

The humanistic style of China is naturally to vigorously promote this culture!

Such as Dayu to control the water. Is there any sense in using people to save themselves to impact the culture of Noah's Ark in the West?

Such as the flint clan drilled wood to make fire. Is it a little interesting to use the Suiren clan to discover the use of fire on its own to impact the Prometheus Thief Fire in the West?

The culture of the Chinese family is concealed in just one sentence: do not believe in myths and believe in yourself.

This alone can bring infinite cultural subversion and impact to the West.

You can think about how incredible this theory is outside the circle of influence of non-Chinese culture.

In that case, why throw away the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds?

In this business, the vision must at least see a little farther, the vision determines the artist's mind, there are hills and valleys in the heart, and there are people under him, but many wood carving craftsmen obviously do not have this vision.

'Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan in the past, the horizon is infinite and the world is wide, and it is necessary to change the horizon. ’

Thinking of this, Qin Huai gathered his spirit.

Begin the refinement step.
