Chapter 1031: A Life's Work
"Teacher, which master carved the words on this, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely pay a visit. Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly asked.
"You know this man. Li Mingguang said with a smile.
"I know?"
"Yes, not only do you know, but you have met. β
"You don't want to sue me that this is carved by Sissi, right?"
"That's not it, she doesn't have such a deep foundation, I won't hide it from you, this is carved by Sissi's grandfather, this old man is not simple, he can definitely be called China's first carving master!"
"What! It's actually Sissi's grandfather!" Zhang Tianyuan was really shocked, he originally thought that Gao Qianqian's grandfather had not touched the carving knife for many years, but he was afraid that his skills were not as good as Gao Qianqian, who knew that this old man's skills were so exquisite, this is a real treasure knife is not old!
Actually, you don't have to be surprised, the old man has been picking up rags for so many years, but he has not forgotten his own craftsmanship, and some of the materials he picked up have been carved into various seals and placed at home, and his home is really a paradise for seals. The materials used are metal, wood, stone, waste garbage jade, etc., so many years, it is by relying on these materials, the old man's skills have reached the point of being superb, even I am beyond my reach!" Li Mingguang sighed with emotion: "When I first saw the old man, I was still sad for his downfall, but now I feel that although the old man has suffered a little in the past, his heart has not died, and this is enough." β
No wonder Sissi's level is so high, it turns out that there is such a powerful master, it seems that I asked the old man to come out and guide my staff. Looks like you're doing it right?" said Zhang Tianyuan with a smile.
"That's right, it's just done so well. Li Mingguang patted Zhang Tianyuan's shoulder and said, "If it's not you." It's a pity to be afraid that this carving giant will be lost to history forever. Okay, let's not talk about these touching things, you can take a look at this seal first. β
"Teacher, I just wanted to ask, is there anything else on this seal?" Zhang Tianyuan especially used the ability of checking Wei when appreciating the seal, because this is the seal he will use in the future, so naturally he must carefully identify the place, and the result is found on the edge of the four words of this seal. There are some special patterns, so I can't help but ask.
"Oh, you can see it without a magnifying glass, no wonder others say that you are some kind of Huaxia God's Eye, I think your eyes really have to be a fight with Eagle Eye, can you see clearly?"
"I can't see clearly, but I can vaguely see some clues. Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly explained.
"Here, here's a magnifying glass, take a closer look. Li Mingguang took a high-powered magnifying glass from the toolbox and handed it to Zhang Tianyuan, asking Zhang Tianyuan to take a closer look.
"Teacher. What the hell is this, the carving is so exquisite, this is definitely a miniature carving technique, right?"
In fact, Zhang Tianyuan brought a magnifying glass to make a show, and he had already seen what the pattern on it was through his ability to check the micro. But it can't be helped, sometimes it's really pretended.
Of course, for the delicate Cheng dΓΉ of these patterns. That's really very appreciated, this miniature carving kung fu. It should also be the work of Master Lin Qingqing, which can be seen from the style characteristics.
these patterns. It is impossible to see it with the naked eye alone, this is what Li Mingguang was surprised by, he didn't understand why Zhang Tianyuan could see it, fortunately, Li Mingguang himself was old and dizzy, so he felt that normal people's eyes should be able to see some clues, so he didn't doubt it much, in fact, this pattern is very ingeniously carved, after being printed on paper, unless it is a magnifying glass, it is really impossible to see.
And Zhang Tianyuan's ability to check the micro in the character recognition recipe is a combination of the functions of a magnifying glass and a microscope, and it is even more prominent, it is normal for him to be able to see it.
These patterns are located on the edges of the four characters, which does not affect the overall effect of the four characters, and looks like several galloping horses connected from end to end.
Ordinary people don't carve things like horses on seals lightly, and even if they want to engrave them, they should be engraved on the seal position, not on the seal surface.
So Zhang Tianyuan thought of a possibility, he belonged to a horse, could this rather charming horse picture be specially engraved on it as a souvenir?
"Teacher, is this horse picture engraved because I belong to a horse?"
"Hehe, that's just one of the reasons, the more important reason is actually for anti-counterfeiting, modern machine qì engraving has a lot of special anti-counterfeiting technology, but there are also hand-carved seals, the emperor's jade seal in the past has anti-counterfeiting technology, otherwise, just a person imitates one according to the jade seal, then the world is not chaotic? Waist card, have special anti-counterfeiting skills, most of them rely on engraving techniques to prevent counterfeiting, this horse figure is Lin Qingqing teacher came up with anti-counterfeiting means, for this anti-counterfeiting picture, he is not light. Li Mingguang shook his head and explained.
"It's really hard for this master, I am not related to him, and I haven't paid a penny, and he is willing to do so much for me, which really makes me a little unsure of how to thank him. Zhang Tianyuan really felt that he was so lucky at this time.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, in addition to this chicken blood name seal, we also used your piece of Tian Huang chicken blood to carve an appreciation seal for you, you also take a look, rest assured, it will not affect the effect of Tian Huang chicken blood ornaments, this seal is relatively small, it is specially for you to do identification in the future, after all, you are now a famous expert in the antique shop, in addition to making your own painting books, but also to identify people's things, or to stamp on the appraisal book, in this way, the name seal is slightly inappropriate, and this one is engraved with' Tian Yuan's heart reward's Tianhuang chicken blood mark is more suitable. As he spoke, Li Mingguang went to the studio again, and when he came out, he took a seal, which is indeed a lot smaller than the famous seal, delicate and ingenious, using the seal of the horse button, corresponding to Zhang Tianyuan's genus, of course, the workmanship is another feeling, using relief skills. It's the work of another master, and finally got four words. It is still carved by Gao Qianqian's grandfather, and the anti-counterfeiting micro-carving is still made by Master Lin Qingqing.
"This thing can be hung around the waist. Or take it on your body, you can use it easily wherever you go, and it is covered with a leather case to protect the seal button from damage, isn't it?" Li Mingguang said with a smile.
"Not bad, teacher, I feel that I have to meet these experts, meet these masters, and I am grateful and adored to them now. It's simply inexpressible. Zhang Tianyuan said excitedly.
"You want to thank them, if you have time, it would be nice to go and see them, in this era, it is too impetuous, and there are very few people like them who are willing to concentrate on making art, and many of them are actually relatively poor. In addition, this total of 33 seals is the work of their life's work, and I hope that whoever it is in the future. You're going to be proud to have the stamps of these two seals!
"Don't worry, teacher, I don't like to swear, but as long as I swear, I will definitely work hard to do it! And you don't have to worry about the life of these masters. I think the skills of these ancestors are not worthless, but lack of development, and now people have money. But I don't know where to spend it, and the market potential of these things is huge. I'll just push for it. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Okay, it's good to have your words. Your kid's ability in identification is still very strong, but I have seen your calligraphy and painting works, the traces of imitation are too strict, although the level of imitation is one of the best in the world, but imitation is imitation after all, there is no own characteristics, it doesn't make much sense, you don't need to change too much, as long as these imitations of calligraphy and painting are engraved with your own brand and distinctive characteristics of the times, this is enough, I believe in your understanding, come on. Li Mingguang has also seen Zhang Tianyuan's copied works, if it is simply appreciated as a copy, then there is really no one in the world, a work, it is estimated that the number is a little less, it is possible to buy seventy or eighty thousand, or even one hundred thousand, especially those works of great celebrities in history, such as Erwang, Zhang Xu, Tang Bohu and the like, many people can't buy the real work, then imitation can also be, but the problem is that it must be an absolute high imitation, and Zhang Tianyuan can do this.
"Knowing the teacher, I will continue to work hard. "In fact, Zhang Tianyuan and Li Mingguang's ideas are not quite the same, he understands his own ability very well, relying on imitation of words, if you want to create your own style, then I'm afraid that it will be almost the same when you are seventy or eighty, and now his goal is to make his imitation of the work even if it is a big man like Master Yuanbo, he can't see the flaws, then it can be regarded as a real success, and then he wants to integrate his own characteristics.
After sitting at Li Mingguang's house for a while, Zhang Tianyuan returned to the courtyard with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, and when he was on the way, he thought of what Tie Ruisheng asked him to do, so he called Wang Siyuan.
"Haha, Brother Zhang, this feels really sour, I'll go, I don't even have the strength to get up now, you Zhanfei want to train me to death." On the phone, Wang Siyuan was in pain and happy.
"Are you happy? or are you happy?"
"I've never felt so happy! By the way, what are you looking for me, I just have something to tell you. Wang Siyuan said.
"That's right, I heard that you're going to build a western film and television base in Baoyang, near Xifeng, right?
"Yes, this is a project in cooperation with national television, and it is preparing for bidding, which is a big job, and an engineering company is afraid that it will not work. Wang Siyuan replied.
"That's right, I have a friend named Tie Ruisheng, you have seen it, it is the big boss of the engineering team who designed and renovated the courtyard for me, how is it, their work is not bad, right?"
"Iron boss, I was trying to contact him, but I didn't have a phone number. I see what you mean, let him call me, and I'll talk to the national TV station and contract them out the most critical work. As soon as Wang Siyuan heard that it was Tie Ruisheng, he knew what Zhang Tianyuan was going to say next, he must be working, but he had nothing to hesitate, Tie Ruisheng's engineering team usually couldn't be invited, and now others took the initiative to come to the door, no need to be a fool.
"Brother Tie has already gone to Xifeng, I'll just ask him to call you, you can discuss the price yourself, don't worry about me, I'm also a matchmaker." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Okay, that's it, so be it!" (to be continued......)
