Section 324 Old man, shall I stamp it for you?
The surrounding jade carving craftsmen looked confused.
For the first time, they saw a jade carver who fused all the jade carving skills together, and carved it smoothly!
Moreover, it is still on a piece of jade that is only a few centimeters! The branches that support the lotus flower are only tiny hairs!
It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of strength was placed in ancient times, and it was the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo who was able to play with eighteen kinds of martial arts such as 'spear, hammer, bow, crossbow, whip, sword, chain, axe, and halberd, card stick and spear'.
Terrifying!
The craftsman who was instructed by Qin Huai smiled bitterly, and he had forgotten all the dazzling carving skills just now.
The idiom 'ghostly workmanship' slowly floated out of my mind.
He couldn't think of any other apt adjectives than to be magical.
"Showing off skills is essentially for the quality of jade carving. ”
The craftsman chewed Qin Huai's words.
"However, I don't recommend that all jade carvers indulge in showmanship.
On the contrary, it is the simplest lines to outline the fullest image that is the most challenging.
Just like the Han Eight Knife Technique, only eight knives are used, which is simple to the extreme, but it can grasp the essence of the gods and carve out all living beings. ”
Qin Huai washed his hands, took Xiaoya into his arms, and gently patted the little girl's back.
The little girl's eyes are as black as gems, looking around, and sometimes she stretches out her little fat finger that is as white as jade, and her little finger curls up, so cute.
"This group of jade carvers is very skilled. ”
Qin Huai finally concluded.
"This is a carefully selected jade carver, a total of three hundred and seventy-six. ”
Lin oak face has pride.
"It's just...... We often carve tea utensils, flowers, incense burners, decorative ornaments and other utensils, and creative works are not unable to carve, but there is no creativity. ”
Lin Li sighed, almost all jade carvers lack creativity.
According to Lin Li's analysis, there are two sources of creativity:
First, read poetry and books, travel to famous mountains and rivers, see ancient paintings and calligraphy, ancient artworks, ancient paintings and calligraphy, poems and songs, ancient works of art are real tricks, learn thousands of tricks, and finally there are no tricks, and then breed creativity, the source of this creativity needs ten years of accumulation.
Second, it depends on talent. A flash of inspiration, or an epiphany about a certain moment of life phenomenon, and a sudden creative life, this is God's reward.
Master belongs to the gang who is both talented and willing to accumulate for ten years, so Master is a freak.
But for other jade carvers, if they can have one or two creative works in their lives, they can laugh at Jiuquan.
"Creativity is such a thing, if you don't forget it, you will have to think about it. ”
Qin Huai couldn't teach people how to get creative, so he could only pour a mouthful of chicken soup.
In fact, Qin Huai did not particularly pursue creativity.
It's just that.
Suddenly, for a moment.
There is a strong desire, a strong sense of direction, a strong desire to create.
This kind of thing is indescribable, it can only be understood but not spoken, and it has to be understood slowly.
Although he couldn't teach how to get top-notch ideas, Qin Huai still did his best and did everything he could to guide these jade carvers.
……
"The carving method you use should pay attention to the strength, and it is best to lift the weight lightly and break the thread. You might as well go home and practice calligraphy more often to achieve the effect of moving a knife like a pen. ”
Qin Huai glanced at it and commented.
The jade carving craftsman who was commented on was mentioned by Qin Huai, and he suddenly found that his shortcomings were in Qin Huai's words!
……
"As for you, the key is that the mind is not quiet, and the carving process of the lines is a little less forceful, and it may not seem flawed at first glance, but in fact, it can be perceived. It's like a person who lacks energy when he speaks, and he lacks self-confidence. Your lines need to enter the stone for three points, grit your teeth when carving, and silently recite the poems of 'Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken' and 'the Huns will not be destroyed, how can it be home'. ”
Qin Huai continued to walk forward.
When you meet a jade carver who needs guidance, you will speak decisively.
The jade carver who was commented on fell into a deep groan, and there were words in his mouth, and he was silently reciting the verses.
After reading a poem book, I really feel a little different!
There is even a pride brewing in my heart!
The jade carver's heart was full of surprises.
Many jade carvers must wash and burn incense before carving, isn't it just to adjust the state?
Reading two volumes of poetry aloud before carving is also a solemn ritual to quickly enter the state!
Moreover, the poems that have been handed down are full of emotion, and if you read them aloud once or twice, your emotions will be infected, and this method of transforming the state is indeed very effective!
Wonderful!
It is worthy of Qin Hezhou, in a few words, it makes people feel empowered and opened!
At 11:20 p.m., Qin Huai finished instructing some jade carvers before leaving the Jiangling Jade Carving Factory.
Thanks to the two little ones, they didn't cry all the time, just pointed to the tools and smiled at their parents, revealing their scarce little milk teeth.
"Come on, Xiao Ru will also hold it for me. ”
Qin Huai took the little guy in Shang Ya's hand, took it into his arms, and the family of four went home.
……
Night.
Qin Huai and Shang Ya took two little ones out to play again, and the children in this time period couldn't stay at home at all, so they had to go outside to watch.
Even if Qin Huai's house has a lawn, a pond, lotus leaves, a flower room, a rockery, and a round arch, the two small ones are not satisfied.
Helpless.
Qin Huai could only come out to play with Shang Ya.
The Qinhuai River at night is quite lively.
After all, it's a scenic spot.
The lanterns shine together, the crowds surge, those who sell rock sugar gourds, those who sell dumpling leaves and weave small animals, those who sell sugar paintings, and those who sell candy people......
Reflected in two small eyes.
It can be seen that the two little ones are overwhelmed, patting their little meat hands, and talking in surprise that Qin Huai can't understand.
Qin Huai bought a baby elephant woven with dumpling leaves for Xiaoru and a kitten for Xiaoya.
The two little guys squeezed it in their hands and had a lot of fun.
Shang Ya was eating a rock sugar gourd with apple hearts on the side, strolling leisurely.
"There's a painting seller up there. ”
Shang Ya's eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw that not far from the square in front of her, there was an old man splashing ink under the honey locust tree.
The old man painted a fine brush, flowers, birds, butterflies, plants, vegetables and fruits, lifelike, visible wings and fluff on vegetables and fruits.
"The little doll looks so good. ”
The old man looked up at the two little ones in Qin Huai's arms, praised them from the bottom of his heart, and laughed, his wrinkles full of amiability.
"Grandpa's paintings don't seem to sell well?"
In front of the old man's stall, it can be said that there is a sparse car in front of the door.
"Fifteen dollars for a painting is enough to sell ten paintings in one night. In the past, I didn't shout and sell old men, but today is because of my wife's birthday, so I want to sell a few more paintings and buy some small gifts to go home. ”
The old man was content and happy, and replied with a smile, smiling, as if there was a calm and tranquil feeling of 'selling apricot blossoms in the alleys of the Ming Dynasty'.
When he mentioned his wife, the smile on his face was more quiet.
"Let's buy two paintings. ”
Shang Ya is ready to pay for it.
Qin Huai nodded.
Fifteen yuan for one painting and thirty yuan for two fruit pictures.
In fact, this painting work exceeds the price too much.
Great value for money!
Qin Huai turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped again.
"Old man, why don't I stamp some of your paintings. ”
Qin Huai proposed.
In general, the value of a painting is also related to the stamp stamped on it.
For example, if a celebrity stamps a stamp, the value of the painting will increase a little.
Qin Huai also wanted the old gentleman's paintings to sell faster.
"Stamped? Young man wants to stamp me? Hahahaha, don't you want to. ”
The old man shook his head and refused, he knew the way to seal it.
But a young man came out in front of him and said that he wanted to stamp him?
To be honest, not very optimistic.
It's not the terrifyingly famous book saint Wang Xizhi, who writes a few lines on the fan, and in the blink of an eye, someone rushed over and sold it at a high price when he heard the news!
