Section 79 Nuclear carving comic strips of popular science traditional skills

"Did you read four-panel comics as a kid? Particularly interesting four-panel comics. Junior high school and high school students love it.

I thought I might as well carve some interesting four-panel comics. You can not focus on being funny, but instead carve elegant things, such as what you said: lying down, meditating, tasting wine, tasting tea, reading books, posting, painting, chanting, singing, drumming, burning incense, flowers, waiting for the moon, listening to the rain, looking at the clouds, looking at the stars, watching the snow, and enjoying the snow......

Carving these into walnuts, every elegant thing is carved into a delicate nuclear carving, which is sure to be acceptable to tourists. ”

Hearing Shang Ya's proposal, Qin Huai was dumbfounded, she seemed to have extraordinary insights and ideas in this regard.

It is very interesting to incorporate all kinds of elegant things into the nuclear carving.

Qin Huai had already begun to conceive.

However, Shang Ya didn't seem to be satisfied, still frowning slightly and pursing her red lips.

"Wait, that doesn't seem intuitive.

Sister will help you think about it again...... Why don't you use a few walnuts to tell the story of the creative process of a craft?"

Shang Ya pondered:

"It's like a nuclear carving, first carving the process of picking walnuts into the mountains into a nuclear carving, and then carving the walnut carving process by the nuclear carver into a second nuclear carving, connecting the processes step by step, using multiple nuclear carvings, to show visitors the details and charm of this traditional skill.

Another example is the manufacturing process of tea, the production process of inkstone, and the manufacturing process of rice paper......

There are many traditional cultures and skills, but they lack a systematic and vivid display. That's why the general public lacks the right understanding.

Why don't you give it a try?

This kind of nuclear carving is fun and educational, allowing more visitors to understand our traditional skills and culture for thousands of years. What do you think?"

Shangya will tell the perfect ideas.

Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shang Ya with a surprised face.

Some traditional culture and traditional skills are systematically displayed, not to mention that there is no nuclear carving works, not even calligraphy and painting works.

Shang Ya's idea is indeed unique. And it's a little bit of a different kind of fun.

"It's a great idea. ”

"Hmph~"

Shang Ya raised her little head, her eyebrows were flying, and she was praised by Qin Huai for her tsundere attributes.

"Go and drink the medicine, it's already ready, drink it slowly, it's not hot. ”

The smile on Shang Ya's face instantly froze, giving Qin Huai a cold white eye that made him experience deep meaning.

"Shall I feed you?"

Qin Huai stood up, brought the Chinese medicine to the desk, scooped it up one by one, and then fed it into Shang Ya's mouth.

"Can you drink the medicine and not lick the spoon?"

Qin Huai complained helplessly, Shang Ya must have done it on purpose, he had to hold a little medicinal soup, stretched out his little powder tongue and licked the soup spoon, and then glanced at Qin Huai with deep meaning.

This gentleman!

However, she couldn't even let go of her hands and feet in pajamas with an exposed point, and Shang Ya was limited to lip service, and she didn't dare to shoot real guns.

Qin Huai, who had seen through the routine, was full of calmness.

"Drink the last bit too, you can't waste the essence of the little brother. ”

Seeing that Qin Huai had finished pouring the last bit of medicinal soup, Shang Ya came to confidence, straightened his proud chest, and added confusion with a soft tone.

"If you like it, I can help you boil another bowl now, I have a lot of essence, enough to make you unable to get out of bed. ”

Hearing this, Shang Ya immediately became honest, Qin Huai rolled his eyes, held back a smile, and put the bowl into the sink.

……

……

After dinner, Qin Huai's creation began.

Shang Ya searched for information on the side and wrote down the categories of skills that needed to be carved in a small book for Qin Huai's reference.

At present, it is determined that the technical processes of carving are: nuclear carving, winemaking, paper-cutting, pen making, papermaking, tea baking, sword forging, piano making, kite, shadow puppetry, sugar painting, and Peking Opera.

"I carve like this, I estimate that it will take up half of the exhibition hall. Regardless of him, it depends on how the curator chooses. ”

Qin Huai glanced at the desk, hundreds of walnuts were placed in cardboard boxes, and some wooden sticks that were ten centimeters long but as thin as umbrella bones.

In the conception, the process of each skill will be expressed as coherently as possible with seven core carvings.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Huai picked up a walnut and began to delicately apply the knife.

First, the lower part of the walnut is carved into a lonely mountain with sparse trees and strange rocks.

Then use full carving and relief, in the upper part of the walnut, carve out a pecan tree with branches and leaves.

The peach leaves are sparse, and there are veins on the tiny leaves that are smaller than a hair.

Wild pecans, dotted with pecans.

On the old tree, there is a nuclear farmer who climbs on the tree and picks walnuts with tools.

Two of his companions looked up at the tree, and the mountain wind blew their hair, and one of them stretched out his hand and pointed obliquely, as if he could hear his shout.

This three-dimensional nuclear carving, the lines are smooth and clear, outlined in the rough place, the lines are soft in the subtlety, and the sawdust as thin as soft sand has fallen and accumulated on the desk......

Time passed in a knife and a knife, Qin Huai's heart gradually calmed down, and so did Shang Ya.

Slowly, the figures on the nuclear carving began to have delicate facial features from blurred faces, and from stiff movements to vivid and agile.

Rocks, branches, clothes, shoes, and backpacks are all embossed on the paper.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Huai took out a walnut again, immersed himself in carving, Shang Ya supported his chin with his hand, and observed Qin Huai demurely.

Qin Huai's carving is like an elegant performance.

The wrist flips, the tip of the knife jumps, and the ups and downs are like playing a lute.

The lines are long, thick, and dense.

There are weights, speeds, and strengths and weaknesses in the use of knives.

Knife skills include lifting, pressing, pause, frustration, smoothness, and reverse.

Carving methods include flat carving, round carving, relief carving, standing carving, and hollow carving.

No matter what kind of exquisite technique, under Qin Huai's knife, it is like a Peking Opera Shengdan Jingmo ugly......

"Yes. ”

Qin Huai remembered the latest task,

In the blink of an eye, lifelike standing figures emerged from the walnuts.

The first nuclear sculpture 'comic strip' is in existence.

Picking walnuts, screening walnuts, primary processing, selecting the hands of nuclear carvers, carving under the light, polishing and polishing in the later stage, and displaying the finished product......

Seven nuclear carvings, divided into seven scenes, each scene, is a well-detailed documentary, under each nuclear carving, there is a line of small poems, used to describe the process.

For example, below the walnut picking carving, there is a sentence 'Nuclear agriculture wades through mountains and rivers, barren mountains and white clouds.' ’

And below the nuclear carving carved by the nuclear carver, there is a seal engraved with the sentence 'Where the blade travels, there is a god in the wood.' ’

A small poem is not only a summary of the process, but also a sublimation of the entire nuclear carving work, adding a kind of elegance.

"I think you're amazing...... Even if it is a tacky work, you can find a way to add some delicate elegance. ”

Shang Ya wiped off the wood ash on the nuclear carvings with her fingertips, and from Qin Huai's delicate painting style, she personally experienced several processes of nuclear carving works from material selection to finished products.

At the end, I read seven small poems, and suddenly felt that the meaning was timeless and the aftertaste was endless.

Although they do not have the ethereal and fairy artistic conception of the nuclear boat, they have the elegance and vulgarity of the integration of the market and the Hanlin.

This is Qin Huai, who always turns decay into magic, and even makes simple popular science nuclear carvings have style and elegance......

If there were masters watching now, it would be silent.

If there are tourists watching, there will be an absolute uproar and shock.

"I still have a bold idea......"

"You say. ”

Qin Huai put down the seal carving knife and looked at Shang Ya.
