Chapter 566 is shocking

Therefore, public critics estimate that most of these four works are a gold medal on this side of the strait and a gold medal on that side.

As a result, as soon as the gold medal came out a few days later, the scene was in an uproar.

"Mountains and Rivers with the Same Root", Gold Award, "Molting", Gold Award, "Cross-Strait", Silver Award, "Butterfly Language", Silver Award, "Dragon Feiding", Silver Award......

The reporters couldn't sit still all of a sudden, and their hands were raised like jungles at the reception.

A group of judges sat upright on the stage, and Li Kunwu casually clicked a speech with the highest hand.

The reporter stood up and said: "Hello Master Li, I am a reporter from the Straits Times, I would like to ask, why did "Butterfly Language" and "Cross-Strait" only win the silver award this time?

Li Kunwu sighed: "No, the two entries on the other side of the strait are also very perfect, which can be called a rare masterpiece in the previous Tiangong Awards." If they had come last year, at least one gold award would definitely not have been able to escape, but it is a pity that they chose to run this year...... Alas, there is a scene in front of me, Cui Hao's inscription poem is above!"

The journalist said he did not understand.

Li Kunwu said: "The works that can be selected for the Tiangong Award, regardless of the subject matter, the level of craftsmanship and the height of art, the difference between them is very small. This is also what makes our previous judges very distressed, and there are rumors that the Tiangong Award is operable, and there are also reasons for this. However, this year's Tiangong Award does not exist in this case!"

The reporters felt that Li Kunwu was about to break the news, and they all concentrated on it, for fear of missing a word.

Li Kunwu said: "Because of this year's Tiangong Award, two shocking works appeared. Therefore, in this year's Tiangong Award, there are only two gold awards, and the rest of the work awards are all moved down by one class!"

As soon as these words came out, the room was in an uproar.

Lu Qingyi hurriedly came out to maintain order and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Waiting until the crowd quieted down, Li Kunwu said: "Because from today onwards, a new genre and a new craft will appear in Chinese jade carving! So today will definitely become a day in the history of Chinese arts and crafts.

Now the group of reporters exploded again.

Li Kunwu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Wang Mincai from Lijiagou in Shuzhou, Wang Che father and son, have officially restored the family's lost craftsmanship for hundreds of years, and it is out of the blue, so this year's gold medal is the only one, and there is no semicolon!"

Next, the judges began to analyze them one by one.

Lu Qingyi: "Tiangong Award, the first breakthrough and innovation, the two works of the father and son of the Wang family in Shuzhou reflect the innovation everywhere. ”

Qin Zhuang: "Let's talk about the material first, the two works, are made of local specialty stone Qingminshi, the stone is mainly tremolite composition, the content is more than 80%, between the jade, but its cryptocrystalline content is unusually rich, and the crystalline particles are very fine, which makes it have the opposite characteristics of Hetian jade, plus its own stone eyes, stone tendons and other textures, into the hands of good workers, especially has the ability to express. This is a brand new stone, which is a new category and a new breakthrough in China's jade carving raw materials!"

Liu Xinzhi: "Speaking of the subject matter, Wang Mincai's topic is the scene of the harmonious coexistence of the Han people and the Miao people on the mountain in Lijiagou Mountain for thousands of years, and it is also the scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature for thousands of years. The title of the work perfectly matches the content, there is water on the mountain, there is a mountain on the waterside, the dragon and the sun and the phoenix moon, the ancient village and the ancient village...... It is a picture of the life of the two nationalities who cherish each other, complement each other, and help each other. The idea is lofty and the theme is clear. It is a huge breakthrough in the theme of large-scale jade carvings of the Tiangong Award, which is mainly based on the traditional Zhong Yi Ding Zun Shanzi, etc., which is eye-catching! Art must serve the times and the people!"

Li Kunwu: "The theme chosen by Wang Che is the traditional 'blockbuster', but he did not choose the traditional jade cicada carving method, but was ingenious and chose the moment of transformation before the blockbuster, and his intention was higher than the traditional theme. Traditional works only allow people to see the triumph and grandeur after a blockbuster, but Wang Che's works draw the viewer's attention to the tribulations and hardships of an astonishing person. He gave a new intention to the theme of 'blockbuster', which provoked deeper thinking. This is a breakthrough in the subject matter!"

Lu Qingyi: "In terms of expression, the works of the two are mixed with a large number of stone carving techniques, and the technical performance is similar to the traditional four major school techniques, but it can be seen at a glance that its independent existence is the symbol, which is the innovation of techniques." Zhuo Ran got married and called himself a faction. ”

Qin Zhuang: "Wang Mincai combines a large number of decorations, symbols, images, and legends unique to a small number of famous people...... This is an innovation in the choice of elements. Wang Che's works, using the hydrophilic characteristics of Qingmin stone, selected water vapor, dew drop elements, the combination of realistic textures of stone eyes and Xiangfei bamboo, and the combination of stone tendons and Chinese painting expressions, which complement each other, which is the innovation in the use of elements. ”

Liu Xinzhi: "However, the most important innovations and breakthroughs in these two works are not the ones we just mentioned, and the reason why our judges unanimously selected them as independent gold medals is because of craftsmanship!"

Li Kunwu: "Jiuqu beads, this great jade carving technique, has always existed only in historical records, because it is too unbelievable, it has always been a legend and a joke. ”

Lu Qingyi: "But today, the father and son of the Wang family told us with real craftsmanship that Jiuqu Bead, maybe it really exists in history!"

Qin Zhuang: "Everyone, please take a look at this internal structure of the same root of the landscape, the complicated cavity in it is carved by Wang Mincai with special tools and craftsmanship handed down by the family, this is definitely a major event in the jade carving world!"

Liu Xinzhi: "This is an enlarged part of the X-ray photo of the work "Molting", Wang Che not only depicts the vivid surface of the cicada's metamorphosis, but he even carves out the texture structure inside the cicada!"

Li Kunwu: "After the agreement of our Jade Carving Association, and with the consent of Wang's father and son, we named this craft 'Wang's Inner Carving'! This is Wang's great contribution to China's jade carving art!"

Lu Qingyi: "This craft has never been known to outsiders before. Even the Wang family itself was once lost for hundreds of years. The Wang family has been trying to restore them in Panao Township, Shuzhou, for more than ten generations. ”

Qin Zhuang: "Their disappointment from generation to generation, and generation after generation of cheer up, how many Wang family members before they passed away, told their younger generations to restore this craft and carry it forward......"

Liu Xinzhi: "With the help of people with hearts, with the persistence of the Wang family of the past dynasties, and with the efforts of this generation of the Wang family, this craft has finally seen the light of day today!"

Lu Qingyi: "Thank them, let all our colleagues in the jade carving world, when facing the eyes of our ancestors in the future, we finally don't have to be ashamed." I can solemnly comfort them that we have been working hard to restore their former ingenuity!"

Liu Xinzhi: "Thanks to them, we can see such a magnificent handicraft art again in today's great industrial age!"

Qin Zhuang: "Thanks to them, let us realize that the hearts and minds of the people, on the road of chasing the limit, the only essence is endless!"

Li Kunwu: "Thanks to them, let our era be able to leave a name in the history of jade carving! Thanks to them, let all our colleagues in the jade carving industry be able to bathe in their glory!"

Everyone in the hall, including the players on the other side of the strait, all stood up, and the applause roared, like spring thunder rolling for a long time.

Uncle Shi and Xiao Shi stood up, burst into tears, and thanked everyone.

Uncle Shi waved his hand: "I can't afford it, how can I afford such a big lift......"

Li Junge hugged Uncle Shi and said: "You can afford it, Uncle Shi, remember that this is not the glory of you alone, this is the glory of more than ten generations of your Wang family!

Lu Qingyi stepped down and whispered a few words to Lao Shi, meaning to invite him to come up to the stage and say a few words.

Little Stone helped him up to the stage.

Lao Shi stood in front of the microphone, and was a little nervous at first: "Sister Qingyi asked me to come up and say a few words, I just want to say that this lift is too big, and our father and son really can't afford it......"

"Our Wang family, more than ten generations have been staying in Panao Township, and by my generation, they have been reduced to digging tombstones and digging nests for a living. ”

"I am worried about the craftsmanship of my ancestors, I can't do anything well, and my home doesn't look like a home. The farm work was lost to the daughter-in-law. I've been thinking about it all day long......"

"After the little stone learns to chisel the stone, he will make some nests, make some hand mills and sell them in the countryside to supplement the household ......"

"I often set up stalls to sell goods with the carpenter from Lijiagou in the township, and I can be regarded as making friends......

As if remembering the difficult life before, Uncle Shi wiped his face: "Later, one day, the craftsman brought a baby, saying that it was a college student who came back from their village, the Li family. I heard that the drum archway in front of their Li family ancestral hall is the craftsmanship of my Wang family's ancestors, so I came to visit and told me that I must restore the craftsmanship......"

"When I learned that my Wang family had been in a mystery for more than ten generations, the baby took out a stone and asked me to break it, saying that he found it in the Wuxi River, and asked me to see what it could be carved......

Not only did they not get angry, but they also praised the name of the little stone. After learning that Qingminshi is a top-quality inkstone, he asked my family to stop everything else, and pay him some inkstones every month, and he gave us a salary of 10,000 yuan a month. The extra time to specialize in this, this 'inner carving' process ......"

"If there are any uneven things in the family, this baby will take care of me, rami noodles, oil and meat, ......"

"He also invited a teacher from his university to take that gun and show us the internal structure of the drum and drum ......"

"I also found a large transparent material, let me practice, said that it is easy first and then difficult, first clear eyes, and then blind carving ......"

"Half a year later, the inkstone business has improved, this baby has subsidized my family for tens of thousands, except for encouragement and comfort, there is no superfluous word......

"Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel panicked, this craft can't be recovered, not to mention that I can't live with my ancestors, even this baby's heart, I can't help it......"
