Chapter 252: Eight Knife Cicadas

Li Kunwu looked at him with a smile and said, "Quite a simple young man, by the way, how long has your father been in retreat?"

"Today is the ninth day. ”

Li Kunwu took a look at the crack in the door, took Xiaoshi's hand and said, "It's not all for your father this time, you have part of the reason, let's go over there and talk." ”

When he came to the pool and sat down, Li Kunwu didn't let go, he also sat down with a small stone, and sighed: "Piwa showed me the things of your father and son, and the life is quite good, but the time wasted is too long, how many generations?! ”

"Although the four schools can find similarities in your works, the knife technique, design, general atmosphere, and the craftsmanship of your father and son have more in common with the Beigongjing school. Therefore, you should go to the capital more often, the Forbidden City, the National Museum, the Shoubo Museum, and the Arts and Crafts are all places where you absorb nutrients...... Check it out and your horizons will be much broader. ”

"If you feel that the road is too far, Shaanxi Bo can also go, but it is not as convenient as the capital, as long as you come, give me a call, and I will arrange the rest for you." ”

Xiao Shi was so grateful that he didn't want to, and said, "Definitely, when my father finishes his work, I will definitely go to the capital to visit you." ”

Li Kunwu continued: "Don't use the carving pen that Piwa gave you, look at your work, you have passed that stage, and you will still have to work on the knife technique and subject matter in the future." ”

Little Stone nodded yes.

Li Kunwu said again: "Having said that, there is still such a good environment now, which allows you to concentrate on studying skills behind closed doors, and it is also your creation. If you want to put it out of the way, and if you don't have a famous teacher to guide you, you will already become nondescript. ”

Xiao Shi said: "This is thanks to Erpi, when my family was in difficulty before, I also had the idea of going out to work, but my father didn't let me, saying that my craft has not yet arrived at home, and it is easy to be infected by foreign objects, and it is a truth to tell you." Later, Erpi told us not to do those coarse stone tools, specializing in technology, my dad mainly focused on heavy weapons like the gatehouse, and I specialized in small pieces, he was responsible for the acquisition, and the situation at home improved, and I also broke off the idea of going out. ”

Li Kunwu shook his head and said: "Your father's requirements are also very harsh, if your craftsmanship is not considered home, then my apprentices and grandchildren ...... Forget it, don't mention it. ”

Li Junge hurriedly interrupted and said: "Little stone, I used to be a blind man jumping off a cliff, this time I went to the capital can be regarded as an eye-opener! It turns out that you are very particular about this business, you have to listen to Grandpa Li, and this time I went to the capital to know how blind the price I gave you before! ”

Xiaoshi also often practiced stalls, and his face turned white with fright when he thought about it: "My father...... My father's inkstone, 150,000 parties?"

Li Junge scratched his head and said abruptly: "But you carved it, and sent me a few parties out, but the money was confiscated." ”

Li Kunwu said: "Don't worry, the rest of yours, fifty or sixty thousand pieces can't run away, this depends on my big disciple's mouth." ”

After speaking, he said with a smile: "In short, you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future, so your mind must be turned to skills, your father will not talk about it, you, this year you will come up with a few decent works, and strive to be a blockbuster in the Tiangong Award!"

Xiao Shi was very worried: "Can I do this craft?"

Li Kunwu said: "It's good to be normal, don't make things for the sake of exhibiting. Let you participate in the exhibition not to win awards, but for the spread of your craftsmanship. In the future, if you want to carry forward the craftsmanship of the old Wang family, you must open the door to teach apprentices, if you don't have the name of a master, the talented and intelligent will not vote for you. ”

Little Stone nodded thoughtfully.

Li Kunwu said: "Far away, back to the skills, your skills are born from the traditional stone carving, in fact, there is a big difference with jade carving, jade carving in ancient times used waterbed, sand, with a knife to chisel the place is less, this is your school and the traditional jade carving the biggest difference." ”

"To deal with Qingminshi, your skills are enough, but to deal with Hetian jade, jade, and agate, it is a little insufficient. Power tools should be used, but not simply with an engraving pen. The ancients mostly used jade sand, and in modern times, my Beigongjing school mostly uses emery wheels of different sizes. ”

"How do you explain it? The technique of using a carving pen is similar to painting, where the paper is laid out and the pen is drawn, while the jade is the opposite, which is equivalent to fixing the pen and putting the paper on the pen to complete the painting. ”

"With a carving pen, it's actually a simulated stone carving, and you can only use one hand. After fixing the grinding wheel and grinding the needle, you can use both hands, and after you are proficient, the control and strength are much stronger than that of one hand, so the bone strength and changes shown in the knife technique are also much stronger, of course, there are other differences, I will not mention them one by one. ”

"Take my Beijing school as an example, my Beigong pays special attention to the ancient rhyme, so in addition to the details that do not affect the overall situation need to be carved with a pen, most of the time, it is still a traditional technique. ”

The small stone feels that his eyes are much brighter, as if he has entered another world, everywhere is novelty, with paper instead of writing, the difference between this jade carving and stone carving is too great. And the Qingmin stone boundary is between the jade, that is to say, their own expression techniques can be twice as much as now!

Seeing that the little stone was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, Li Kunwu smiled and said: "The understanding is really good, in this way, Piwa, you go and choose a pebble-sized Qingmin stone to come over, and you will take out the electric grinding of the small stone, and I will show it to you." ”

Li Junge hurriedly stopped: "Old Li, you are too tired, why don't we eat first and then talk after eating?"

Li Kunwu waved his hand and said: "It's rare to be in high spirits, if you don't do it now, maybe I won't be interested in it for a while." ”

Li Junge hurriedly ran to live in the warehouse for a long time, and the warehouse was full of big stones, but it was difficult for Li Junge, so he directly selected a piece from the space warehouse to fill the number.

Ayin was also clever, and ran to the guest to ask for a camera, ready to film the process of the master coming to Lijiagou to demonstrate the craftsmanship first.

Xiaoshi has been guarding his father for the past few days, and the tools are all here, so a few people entered the house where Xiaoshi carved the inkstone these days.

Li Kunwu fixed the electric grinder, replaced the emery rotation, turned on the motor, dripped water, and said to the small stone: "Pay attention!"

After finishing speaking, he took the green stone and aimed it at the grinding wheel, fast and ruthlessly, and cut out a large one with a few brushes.

This Li Junge was too familiar, so he blurted out: "Eight Knife Cicada!"

No one paid attention to him, and they all stared at Li Kunwu's operation.

Li Kunwu said: "Han Badao, in fact, is the false rumor of 'pulling out the knife', for the funeral vessel, the knife used on it is refined, the knife is ruthless and fast, the knife marks are deep at one end and shallow at the end, the so-called 'pulling' is the strength of the force. ”

After saying that, he turned over the stone and touched the grinding wheel a few times, and the belly and wings of the cicada were separated.

Seeing that he has it, he doesn't need to draw a picture, and he doesn't know how many tens of thousands of cicadas Li Kunwu has carved in his life to do this.

Others are okay, the little stone is dizzy to watch, and I feel a kind of enlightenment-like Tongtai.

After touching the stone on the grinding wheel a few more times, carving out the head and eye, Li Kunwu replaced a thallium needle and said, "Pay attention to the arc I am going to pull the arc." ”

After speaking, he turned while touching the thallium needle with the cicada, and in a few strokes, he cut out the dorsal wings, the dividing line between the head and neck, and the ventral line and mouthparts on the other side.

Turning off the motor, Li Kunwu handed the cicada to Xiaoshi: "Have you seen it clearly?"

Before Xiao Shi could speak, he heard a voice shouting excitedly: "Divine skill!

Everyone turned their heads, but the old stone came out of their room at some point, and his face was covered with stone chips.

Li Kunwu laughed and stretched out his hands full of stone powder: "Old stone! Brother Wang, I have admired it for a long time!"

Two pairs of gray hands were held together, and the old stone shook excitedly: "Relaxed, relaxed!

Seeing this, Li Junge was simply, how will the video be broadcast in the future in this way of meeting? Hurriedly said: "Why don't you tidy up first, and let's go outside and talk slowly?"

Only then did the two notice each other's appearance, and they laughed again.

Old Stone said: "Piwa is right, slack off, slack, wait for me to clean up and come back." ”

As soon as he ran out of the door, he turned back, grabbed the small stone and said: "Strike while the iron is hot! Hurry up and throw out the objects of your predecessors, especially the place where the knife line is going to give me a careful experience! Don't talk, don't drink water, and don't eat until you're done!"

After speaking, he drove Li Junge and them out: "Let's go, don't disturb him, this opportunity is too rare." ”

When Li Junge and the others came out unconsciously, the old stone solemnly locked the door and locked the small stone inside, and then he said to Li Kunwu: "Brother, I'll clean up and come." ”

After saying that, he ran away.

Li Junge led Li Kunwu to wash and asked him, "Grandpa Li, what is Uncle Shi making trouble?"

Li Kunwu smiled: "This is what I just told Xiaoshi about 'tempering invention'." I can't say anything about craftsmanship, I also saw the mountain picker on the cliff in Huashan, and I realized the truth of continuous knife technique. Brother Wang is a knowledgeable person, and he knows that now is the easiest time to become enlightened, so he locked up Xiao Shi, as for how much he can understand, it depends on Xiao Shi's own creation and understanding. ”

Li Junge has a black line in his head, no wonder in the eyes of engineering dogs, those who engage in art are freaks, and they are not at all like their own growth experience on the same planet!

If you can't figure it out, don't bother, wait for Li Kunwu to clean up, and everyone will go back to the table and wait for the old stone.

After a while, the old stone also came out, walked to the table and bowed to Li Kunwu to the end, stood up and said, "Brother, I don't dare to thank you for your kindness, and you haven't asked your surname yet?"

Li Junge hurriedly introduced: "Uncle Shi, this is the leader of the Beigongjing faction, Master Li Kunwu. ”

Li Kunwu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't mention this in front of Brother Wang, everyone knows that the craftsman is alive, is it Brother Wang?"

The old stone said again and again: "You are too modest, you look at it as a craft from the palace, and we can't compare it with the style in the countryside." ”

Li Kunwu said: "The little stone is a talent that can be made, the more I look at it, the more I like it, brother, can you discuss something?"

Old Shi hurriedly said, "Brother, just say it." ”

Li Kunwu said: "You also saw the things I sent just now, and what about your things, Piwa also brought them to the capital for me to see." I have an unsuccessful disciple named Zhang Yan, who just won the Tiangong Gold Award, but I think he won this award a bit empty. I wonder if we can follow the example of the ancients, and we two will teach it to each other! Do you think it is feasible?"

The old stone was dumbfounded: "This ...... How can you afford it? You came out of the office......"
