Each time you wipe it, it's like gently rubbing your body temperature and patience into the wood.

The wood grain absorbs the ingenuity and becomes gradually clear, and every detail seems to be meticulous, as if the flashiness in the passage of time has been returned to the basics.

Very elegant picture.

"When I saw this, I felt that the finished lacquerware must be very beautiful, and the gentleness, delicacy, and amazing ...... of everything."

Shang Ya threw out a new compliment routine with a smug face, although she has not made much progress in knowledge in the past three years, but she has made progress in sycophancy, which is enough.

"Hahaha. ”

Qin Huai couldn't help but laugh, and studied the log-colored fruit and vegetable plate over and over again, feeling very satisfied.

"Feel it. ”

"It's light, it's not heavy, and it's like a feather in your hand. ”

Shang Ya analyzed her feelings truthfully.

The two cute babies also wanted to give it a try, but Qin Huai refused, he was afraid that the little guy would take a bite in his mouth and leave two lines of tooth marks, if that happened, I am afraid that an hour's work would be completely wasted.

"It's right, because the light ancients praised it, and the weight of this lacquerware can be glimpsed by using the word feather as an adjective.

And it is precisely because of its lightness that it will be used in games such as flowing and bending water. ”

The meandering water flow is to place a wine glass at the upper source of the stream, and the wine glass will go down the river, and whoever stops in front of it will take a cup and drink.

This is also recorded in Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface".

After saying two words, Qin Huai immediately fell into a state of meticulous and preoccupied creation.

The two little ones are surprisingly quiet, not noisy or noisy, and sometimes laughing, but harmless.

"It's a mold, but you can't apply paint directly on it, you have to apply a layer of plaster, seal it, and then apply the paint, layer by layer, each layer of a few tenths of a millimeter, sometimes hundreds of layers. ”

Lacquerware is actually very complex, and it needs to go through eighteen processes such as design, bottom tire production, lacquer decoration, sealing, bottom ash, mounting, scraping, and water grinding.

Immediately afterwards, it needs to go through 30 processes such as painting, polishing, and polishing.

All the processes add up, as little as three months, as much as three years. (Note)

Qin Huai said as he brushed the plaster on the wooden mold, smearing the mold into a dark red.

Put.

Dry in the shade.

Then take out the paint.

Lacquer cannot be used directly.

For lacquer, there are still artistic requirements.

First of all, the colors must be pure and flawless.

Secondly, every color particle must be extremely fine, otherwise the surface of the lacquerware will not be able to achieve the artistic effect of being as smooth as a mirror, so Qin Huai took out a filter with a fine grid of only 0.01 mm and poured the paint into the filter.

The viscous strainer is twisted by the little guy at one end, as if he were twisting clothes, and the thin lacquer flows out like a spring.

Since the family has been allergic once before, there is no need to worry about the little one crying uncomfortably after contact.

Anyway, this step is not very technical, and letting the little guy participate also satisfies the curiosity of the two cute babies.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Filter, make them prettier. ”

Qin Huai said it in plain language.

In fact, the filtration process is involved in many traditional art industries.

For example, when making rice paper, the pulp is filtered to leave the most delicate part.

For example, when indigo pigments are extracted, they are also filtered through a strainer to leave the purest part.

I have to say that in traditional handicrafts, it is purely the realm of eternal pursuit of ingenuity.

……

"Daddy, it's like cake cream. ”

Xiaoya contacted the food again, swallowed her saliva, and had the immediate sense of the child next door crying.

Hearing this, Qin Huai laughed dumbly, just now he was crazy about hinting at cookies, and now he is crazy hinting at cake cream, and the little girl is so clever that she can't talk.

"Awesome. ”

After the two cute babies successfully filtered the paint, Qin Huai casually praised them, but did not mention snacks, because Shang Ya didn't let them eat more.

Case.

Qin Huai chose to turn a deaf ear.

With a straight face, pick up the tool, scrape a thin layer of raw lacquer on the tread, the paint is very thick and very dense, after rubbing evenly, the fetal device is like a porcelain fired out of the glaze, and the color is overflowing!

This step is the sealing of the lacquer.

Of course, at this point, a piece of lacquerware is far from finished, just the first rays of light!

Sealing, scraping, mounting, middle coating, upper coating, decoration, decoration, ......

Like an ascetic, like an old farmer ploughing the fields, he is full of patience and is not in a hurry.

Each step seems to be decisive and neat, but in fact it is slow and steady.

Each layer of lacquer is tightly bonded to the previous coat of lacquer.

Hit it off.

Attached.

……

'Rustle'

The sound of soft materials rubbing against lacquer shells fills the workshop.

For a long, long time.

The two cute babies were carried to the room to sleep.

Qin Huai stopped the tool in his hand and glanced out the window, the moon that was about to be consummated, made his eyes suddenly brighten, slowly, and turned his head to look at the wine glass on the table.

"I have an idea! The ancients said that the moonlight cup of grape wine also said that raise a glass to invite the bright moon, if I move the moon to the cup, invite it directly to the center of the glass, what do you think?"

Qin Huai held the semi-finished lacquerware in his hand, his eyes were focused, and he imagined Li Taibai's poem with a bright smile.

Raise a glass to the bright moon......

How did Li Bai invite?

Presumably seeing the moon in the center of the cup can be regarded as a successful invitation?

Of course.

This is not specifically documented and is no longer available.

But Qin Huai felt that this must be the most romantic, the most poetic, and the most satisfying 'toast to invite the bright moon'.

Shang Ya's face was clouded.

She can't keep up with Qin Huai's little brother's brain hole!

I remember that when she carved the green jade kui dragon pattern tea set, she was also confused about the description of Qin Huai's little brother.

Only when the finished product comes out will she be given an indelible brilliance!

After all, the thinking of an artist is always different from that of ordinary people.

"Okay. ”

Qin Huai himself couldn't wait, and immediately took out some gold dust from the drawer.

A fine brush is used to stain some of it, creating a graceful circle on the paint that has not yet set.

Gently.

Soothing.

A bright golden moon precipitates at the bottom of the cup, gathers and disperses, rises and falls.

The fine gold sand makes the bright moon appear hazy and blurry;

The light of the golden sand makes the bright moon appear brilliant;

The combination of the two is amazing, just like the moonlight is all gathered in the heart of the cup, gathering the aura of heaven and earth!

For a while, it was brilliant and brilliant!

"But I think, isn't it a little worse? It's a masterpiece, but it's not a Qin Hezhou-style work. ”

"Hahaha, there's progress. ”

Qin Huai praised approvingly.

The flash of inspiration that can make him so excited, of course, will not be the only one!

"Do you remember that I used to talk about the death of Lu Zigang, the master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty?

Lu Zigang's inscription can only be seen when the jade pot is filled with water.

In addition, there are some buildings in our country that only have a beam of sunlight shining in at a certain time.

This moon is similar to them. ”

Shang Ya looked dazed.

Why didn't she understand it at all, and she couldn't understand Qin Huai's little brother's brain circuit.

"I still make the finished product. ”
