"What's wrong? Suddenly ......"

Seeing that Qin Huai's expression was a little more sad, Shang Ya was stunned.

"Do you remember Mr. Zhao Kangmin, the first discoverer of the Terracotta Warriors and the first person to restore the Terracotta Warriors?"

Qin Huai put down his mobile phone and put the teacup on the table.

Although he and Mr. Zhao had never met, they had a feeling of sympathy, and when they heard that Mr. Zhao had passed away, Qin Huai's expression was gloomy.

So even if your mouth is dry now, you don't have the heart to quench your thirst.

"Oh...... The last time I visited Qin Province, after seeing the Terracotta Warriors, the old gentleman you wanted to visit, but the old gentleman was very busy, so he didn't visit, right?"

Shang Ya suddenly felt that because Qin Huai hadn't seen the old gentleman at that time, he was still feeling sorry on the way home.

"Mr. Zhao passed away in the evening just now......

Qin Huai shook his head and sighed, a generation of pillars of archaeology has passed away, which is a huge loss for the Chinese family.

"Huh?"

"Yes. ”

Qin Huai nodded.

Silent.

There was a long silence.

"Mourning, people will eventually die, and we will also die. ”

Shang Ya patted Qin Huai's shoulder and said with relief.

"I know, it's just that there's something wrong with my heart. ”

Qin Huai covered the back of Shang Ya's hand with his hand and grabbed it gently.

The old gentleman is 82 years old and has been engaged in cultural and archaeological work for more than 40 years.

Forty years.

The old gentleman traveled to more than 30 towns and villages.

Riding three broken bikes.

Write down 500,000 words of survey notes.

Discover more than forty monuments, ruins, and tombs.

Such as the Qin Terracotta Warriors No. 1 pit.

Such as the ruins of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Such as the stable pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Such as the Tang Huaqing Palace Imperial Soup Site.

Such as the underground palace of the relics stupa above the Tang Qingshan Temple.

Such as the Tang tomb of Guanshan.

These are relics that have made great contributions to Chinese archaeology.

And the archaeological discovery that shocked the world the most was the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang.

It was he who named the Terracotta Warriors and Horses the Qin Samurai Warriors.

It was he who restored the first samurai figurines.

It was he who personally excavated and protected the No. 1 figurine pit.

It is no exaggeration to say that the old gentleman's research on the Qin figurines is the first in the world.

Qin Huai wanted to visit Mr. Zhao very much at that time, just like Mr. Ye in the Purple Mountain, he wanted to listen to Mr. Zhao's preaching.

But the old gentleman was very busy.

Before retirement.

The old gentleman has been on the road for forty years.

In order to do better research, the old gentleman often ran around the mountains and countryside, and when he was thirsty, he picked up the clear spring in the mountains to drink, and when he was hungry, he went to the villager's house to beg for a bowl of porridge to satisfy his hunger, and thus contracted stomach problems.

After retirement.

He has never stopped researching, and as soon as he hears that there are new cultural relics in the museum, the old gentleman will immediately go to the museum to guide the research.

A month ago.

The old gentleman is still working on a newly unearthed ancient monument.

In order to speed up the research progress and help other archaeological work, the eighty-two-year-old gentleman squatted in front of the ancient monument for a day and a night!

Outcome...... Induced lung disease, he became seriously ill and died suddenly.

It's a pity.

Before he heard the old gentleman's 'preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts', the old gentleman passed away!

Qin Huai's eyes condensed slightly.

Thoughts seemed to have crossed thousands of miles and landed in the Qin Terracotta Army.

The warriors in those figurine pits once fell, once turned into broken tiles, and the old gentleman picked them up piece by piece, piecing them together into a perfect state.

Maybe every Qin figurine has been carefully wiped by his calloused palm?

Thinking of this, the tip of Qin Huai's nose was sour, and he could only let out a sigh:

"Qin Gao Guan'an, the terracotta warriors and horses belonging to the eighth wonder of the world, welcomes an endless stream of tourists every day.

But...... The first person to name them and restore them, the first director of the Qin Provincial Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Mr. Zhao Kangmin, can no longer look at them.

I don't have the opportunity to visit the old gentleman again......"

Qin Huai picked up the water cup and moistened his dry throat.

Fell silent.

After a long time, Qin Huai raised his head: "I want to send a funeral gift to this venerable old gentleman." ”

Qin Huai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the painting style around him gradually brightened.

"What gift?"

Shang Yabi is more curious than anyone, the traditional skills town has just ended, and Qin Huai's little brother is about to start the next work?

"Don't say. ”

Qin Huai shook his head and remained mysterious.

……

The next day.

The morning sun is rising, and the purple air is coming from the east.

Qin Huai took a walk in the garden, and this villa covers an area four or five times the size of Xuanwu Lake.

The place where you enter is all neat grass, green trees, willows, water pavilions, pavilions, and rockeries.

Jiangnan Garden has everything it has, it has.

Qin Huai paced aimlessly in the park.

After appreciating the lotus flowers, then enter the flower room, then go around to the front garden, and finally return to the work hall, where there is still a lot of wood left.

Looking at these woods, the light in Qin Huai's eyes gradually gathered.

All the wood carvings that have ever been carved come to mind clearly.

Even the smallest detail is presented in the bottom of the eye.

He was suddenly haunted.

There seems to be no advantage over a single wood carving work compared to a multi-wood carving work.

Whether it is Juvenile You, or the root carving of Nanke Yimeng, or the wood carving of Fuxi Nuwa, they all seem to lack a trace of open-mindedness.

It's a bright red giant fist and a wood carving town, which is unique!

Qin Huai's brows furrowed.

It seems that it can catch something, but it can't catch anything!

Qin Huai rubbed his hair and turned to leave, he was going to walk around in the hope of finding inspiration.

……

Thirty minutes later.

Qin Huai raised his head and was surprised to find that he had actually come to the foot of the Purple Mountain.

"Let's go up and visit, Mr. Ye knows the forest very well. Maybe it can help me. ”

Coming to the foot of the Purple Mountain in the dark must be the choice of the Gate of the Stone of Destiny.

Perhaps it was the guidance of fate?

With this idea, Qin Huai walked up the stairs.

……

Mr. Ye, who is in good health, is doing morning exercises.

The body embraces yin and yang, the waist sinks Tai Chi, the sun and the moon rotate in the palm, the feet step on the hexagram position, move and kick, hunt and hunt, and fight well.

Seeing Qin Huai standing not far away, the old gentleman slowly retracted his fists and breathed in.

"Go up the mountain early in the morning to find me, an old man?"

"I have some questions, old man. ”

"Haha, I've seen your scenery in the People's Daily, the traditional skills town has aroused people's attention to traditional skills.

It was followed by a statement that traditional craftsmen need to take every process seriously, so that people can realize what the spirit of craftsmanship is.

Are you still coming to ask me?"

"I have always specialized in the art industry, and the old gentleman has much more experience than me, and it is more than enough to guide me. ”

The old gentleman smiled and shook his head.

He really doesn't have too much affection for Qin Huai, a young man.

Quality is better than Wen Zeye;

The quality of literature is history;

Polite, then gentlemanly.

Qin Huai is a young man who is as gentle as jade.

"I've been dealing with forests all my life, and you can say hello to the forest. ”

Qin Huai smiled brightly.

Most of his conceptual basis for the creation of wood carving comes from the old man's perception of dancing with the forest for 40 years.

For Qin Huai, every subtle touch made him feel like a treasure.

"Then I'll ask the old gentleman......"

Qin Huai and the old gentleman sat face to face at the stone table.

"The younger generation has recently tried to create wood carvings.

But a wood carving with four or five single pieces of wood is not as good as a work with multiple pieces of wood.

For example, my giant fist wood carving, and the traditional wood carving town.

I am far more satisfied with both than with other wood carvings.

When creating a single piece of wood, it is not as inspirational as more wood.

I've been bothered, please ask the old gentleman to explain. ”8)
