Qin Huai felt a sinking on his body, just like Sun Wukong carrying a red child on his back, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and carried Shang Ya steadily.

"If you don't like jade carving, and you don't want to disappoint your family, then will you carve animals like giant pandas, try to be cute. ”

Shang Ya took out her notebook and turned over a page, on which she drew a panda with a simple pen, round and very cute, and the drawing turned out to be good.

"Eagle. ”

The little girl of the Lu family nodded, and then spoke again:

"However, jade carving pays attention to the amount of materials, the use of art, and the skillful use of color, and it is difficult to find jade that looks like a giant panda. Even if there is, it is extremely rare. ”

Hearing this, Shang Ya frowned thoughtfully.

"It's not a problem, as long as you have the attribute of moe, it's enough. Whether it is white jade or green jade, it can be carved out of shadows to show color difference.

At the beginning, Qin Huai gave me a bamboo bag, and the panda on it, black and white is just a small color difference, but it is also very cute. ”

The little girl of the Lu family saw Shang Ya lying on Qin Huai's body, Qin Huai still had a doting expression on her face, her heart was blocked, and when she heard Shang Ya say that she had been given a gift, her expression froze.

"Did you hear that?"

Shang Ya unleashed a critical hit unleashed unconsciously.

"I hear you...... But why carve pandas?"

The corners of the little girl of the Lu family bent down and said deliciously.

Shang Ya didn't notice the little girl's emotions in the Lu family, and turned to another page of the notebook.

"That's what I thought. The ancient literati loved chrysanthemum, bamboo, orchid, and maids, so jade carvers carved bamboo, orchids, chrysanthemums, and flowers.

Later, some people loved the Buddha, and the jade carver began to carve the Buddha.

Bamboo, orchid, chrysanthemum is the aesthetics of ancient literati and ink writers, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, religious believers will wear one.

The aesthetic is different now.

Bamboo orchid chrysanthemum does not work, and the Buddha does not popularize it.

We like cute, cute is justice, cute aesthetic threshold is low, cute pandas, cute frogs, cute short-legged rabbits, cute hamsters, cute cats, can easily stimulate the desire to buy. Since this is the case, the jade carvers carved the cute jade carving. ”

Shang Ya paused, his mouth was a little dry, and he looked back at Qin Huai, as if he was asking Qin Huai's opinion.

Qin Huai bowed his head and felt that it made sense.

In ancient times, bamboo orchids and chrysanthemums may have been elegant, but modern flowers, tropical plants, and succulents may be more in line with current aesthetics. It's not that we can't adapt to the times.

As far as the moment is concerned, the attraction of cute things is indeed not low. Bamboo orchid chrysanthemum, pine plum, which symbolizes noble interests, has a lot less sense of substitution.

"Do you like cute things?"

Shang Ya asked the little girl of the Lu family, and the little girl of the Lu family blinked her eyes and thought about it, and answered truthfully.

"Like. ”

"What about you?"

Shang Ya then lowered her gaze on Su Yinqing's face.

"I like cute things. ”

She finally said a word, having been playing soy sauce.

"I like it too. Master, do you like it?"

Lin Li raised his hand and couldn't wait to answer.

"You don't care about it. ”

Shang Ya interrupted Lin Li's questioning, stood up, and blocked Qin Huai behind him slightly, always feeling that Lin Li's enthusiasm for Qin Huai was excessive.

"So, cute things can stimulate the most instinctive love and possessiveness of human beings for beauty, girls like paper, can boys still manage their wallets?"

Shang Ya may feel that the words are not clear, and flip through the pages of the notebook.

"Now our jade carving, nuclear carving and the like are all encountering a common problem. It is that they are inherited from ancient times, but there is a pyramid-like stratification in ancient times, and we do not have them, and we are left with a castle in the sky, looking up to the skills of our ancestors in vain.

As far as the current reality is concerned, a craftsman cannot survive without practicing his skills to a certain level.

And those who have practiced hard for ten years, if they have no talent, may face the risk of doing nothing for a lifetime and having no way out. ”

As a result, ordinary people will not easily learn these skills unless they are particularly passionate or forced by their families.

If we can't support ourselves, how can we talk about inheriting traditional culture? Not everyone has the consciousness to save the world.

But what if you can support yourself in three years and have the hope of getting rich overnight?"

Shang Ya turned the page again.

"My initial assumption is this, first of all, it is still an apprenticeship, four or three years of learning, and the basic skills must be solid. By the third year, you can start carving your work. Of course, this kind of technology is definitely not looked down upon by top collectors, but it can be aimed at well-off jade lovers. ”

"In the face of the well-off class, you must not take the elegant painting style of scribes such as landscapes, calligraphy and painting, you can take the cute and exquisite route, first open another market, and then let these jade carving craftsmen have a new home. The assembly line production method is used to produce handmade jade. ”

"With this step, a jade carver who has been an apprentice for four years can start producing handmade jade and be self-sufficient.

This is the first step. Once the apprentices have earned money and tasted the sweetness, they have the motivation to continue to hone their skills and work towards higher prices.

Even, we can create a few well-known jade carvers to attract new entrants with a monthly income of 100,000 yuan and increase the number of practitioners.

As long as the number of employees is large, there will always be geniuses. Traditional skills can also be passed on. Of course, this process will take a long time, but it will always be more vigorous than relying on the mechanism of spontaneous inheritance. ”

Qin Huai listened carefully to Shang Ya's idea.

The high-end market of modern jade carving is actually sluggish, and only ancient jade is hot.

This is an influencing factor for collectors.

And jade carvers often grit their teeth and persist in the mentality of not opening for three years and eating for three years, in the hope that their works will be favored by a handful of collectors.

The mid-to-high-end market is really vacant.

Every jade carving craftsman aims at wealthy collectors, wanting to sell 100,000 or 100,000 yuan for a single piece, while ignoring the mid-to-high-end market.

As a result, jade carving works have not been close to the people, or even to the well-off class, giving people the impression that only multimillionaires can afford to play.

Shang Ya suddenly lowered her requirements, and Qin Huai was also a little unaccustomed to it.

When I think about it, it's really possible.

How many modern jade carving works such as 'Returning to People on a Snowy Night' and 'Phoenix Nirvana' can be produced in a year?

No, but it may not be possible to produce a single one in three or five years.

Shang Ya's idea is indeed very unique.

Do not pursue the top and artistic elegance, regardless of its quantity of materials, according to the aptitude, beautiful color and clever carving, only to meet the two points of cuteness and delicacy to require the works, the market in the high-end.

Such works can be designed by Qin Huai to design jade drawings and complete sets of carvings.

If you have the drawings, you can follow the drawings, and don't want the jade carving craftsman to take painstaking ideas and ideas.

It's like teaching talents according to their aptitude, but what can really select more talents is the college entrance examination.

Shang Ya's proposal is quite similar, first let the jade carving craftsmen learn the basic skills, and then produce jade according to the drawing assembly line, sell it to the outside world, and wait until they can be self-sufficient and worry-free, and then pursue a higher realm.

"Very good, Shang Ya!"

Qin Huai was full of praise, first of all, the jade carving craftsmen can be self-sufficient, and even run to the well-off, which can attract more jade carving practitioners, and the base of the industry is large, and there will always be geniuses.

Just like there are 30,000 poets in the Tang Dynasty, even if there are a lot of soy sauce, they can still leave the '300 poems' famous poems in the end.

"But,"

Xu Yinqing suddenly spoke up and analyzed calmly.

"The diehards of the older generation will definitely do everything they can to obstruct ......"
