Chapter 152 Jade Carving School

You must know that it is not a simple thing to become a jade carver, it is really something that needs to be exercised from an early age. From carving radishes at the beginning, to changing to hard jade, this process alone requires three or five years of effort, and it takes several years to learn painting in the middle.

If the average jade carver is a teacher, they are all around thirty years old, and only those who have a family background, have been trained since childhood, and have outstanding talents will start to work at Liu Dong's age.

Moreover, it takes years of training to continue to improve the carving skills, so it takes a lot of time for every jade carver to appear.

Moreover, because the process of learning jade carving is too boring, there are fewer and fewer young jade carvers outside to learn jade carving in addition to their family history.

"Xiaodong, do you have the objects you carved before?" the old man asked curiously, he wanted to know how much skill this young gambling stone master had in jade carving.

After listening to the old man's words, seeing that the eyes of several people were focused on himself, Liu Dong only thought for a moment, then took out a red silk cloth bag from under his neck, and then took out a white jade Guanyin wearing a red rope and a big finger belly, took it off and put it in the old man's hand.

"Mr. Zhang, the objects I carved recently are all placed at home, this is my work half a year ago, please give me a review!"

After listening to Liu Dong's words, the old man first took a piece of white cloth from his pocket, and then put the white jade Guanyin in Liu Dong's hand on it.

"Xiaodong, it seems that you are also a person who understands jade and loves jade! Not bad!" the old man looked at Liu Dong and nodded with satisfaction.

As long as you know about Hetian jade, you will know that although Hetian jade is crystal clear and beautiful, it also needs careful maintenance by the owner. In addition to the weakness of being afraid of bumping, the wearing of Hetian jade is also very particular.

In particular, Hetian Xinyu should avoid touching chemicals such as perfume, as well as sweat and oil, because too much contact will damage the outer layer of Hetian jade and affect its original brightness.

"You're too old to win awards!" Liu Dong said modestly.

Hearing this, the old man smiled and nodded, his eyes still focused more on this piece of jade Guanyin.

Soon, the old man's face showed a look of surprise.

"Well, the knife is concise, but the workmanship is fine. The lines of the clothes are smooth, and the Guanyin statue is fair and atmospheric, which is the style of our northern jade carving, and the material is also good, it is the seed material of Hetian jade. ”

"From the point of view of the carver, the fire is also very old-fashioned, and if you work hard for a few more years, you can go to the provincial jade carving master!" said that the old man looked up at Liu Dong and said with appreciation: "Xiaodong, you are very good, you have this level in jade carving at a young age, it is really rare! It seems that there are successors in our northern jade carving world!"

The craft of jade has a long history in China, and since ancient times, there has been a distinction between north and south. By the time of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the 'Southern Workers' and the 'Northern Workers' had been clearly distinguished.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, jade carving formed a three-legged trend of "Jingshi", "Suzhou" and "Yangzhou". Since the establishment of New China, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Guangzhou, Nanjing and other places, have set up jade carving factories, master studios, etc., the emergence of jade masters, the formation of a new school of jade, Chinese jade carving art has initially formed the "North School", "Shanghai School", "Yang School", "South School" and other four major schools of jade carving art.

It's just that in recent years, compared with the prosperity of other factions of talents, the northern jade carving world, which was born in the royal palace office, has a steady carving style and solemn and simple style.

Although, like Yan Lao, who Liu Dong wanted to apprentice before, and Zhang Lao, the older generation of jade carving masters in the northern jade carving world in front of him, are still alive, but there are very few outstanding young generations. In recent years, there is a danger of breaking the generation.

Therefore, this time, seeing Liu Dong, a young talent who adheres to the jade carving style of the northern school, Zhang Lao can't help but feel a little fond of him in his heart. looked at Liu Dong and got a lot closer.

"You are old, you have won the award! My jade carving level is just getting started, and I still need more guidance from a jade carving master like you in the future!" This is not Liu Dong's own modesty, but his real feelings about carving recently.

The reason why there is a phrase in the old saying 'live to learn all the time' is because no matter which line of work, only after you really go deep into it, can you truly appreciate its breadth and profundity.

Just like Huang Binhong, a master of Chinese painting in modern China, at the age of eighty, he is still constantly seeking on the road of calligraphy and painting, and finally created the peak of 'Black Binhong' calligraphy and painting, and divides the north and south with Qi Baishi, a generation of flower and bird masters in the Republic of China.

Until his death at the age of 90, he insisted on reading and painting, and never stopped exploring the road of calligraphy and painting in his life.

It can be seen that the peak of the pursuit of art is endless, and only those superficial people who are not good at learning art and standing outside the door will feel that they have learned something and have nothing to spare.

Looking at the serious look on Liu Dong's face, the look of appreciation in the old man's eyes became even stronger. Based on his decades of life experience, he can naturally see whether what Liu Dong just said was inspired or cleverly spoken.

"Okay, hehe! It's rare that you have such insight at such a young age, and now I'm curious about who can teach you such an excellent disciple?"

Facing the inquiry in the old man's praise, Liu Dong said humbly: "You are too old to win the award, my ability to make jade carving is all my own blind understanding!"

"So you don't have a teacher, how is this possible?" After listening to Liu Dong's words, the old man's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his old face showed a deep look of surprise.

"Hehe, Zhang Lao, I can testify to this, Xiaodong's jade carving skills are all self-taught, and he has not learned from anyone in the middle, let alone worshiped the jade carver!" At this time, Zhou Bin, who was standing on the side, said with a smile.

"Incredible, it's really unexpected!" The old man shook his head with a sigh on his face, and continued: "Xiaodong, it seems that the old man underestimated you this time!"

"It's all about your own research, and without a teacher, you can learn jade carving to this level alone, which shows that you are really very talented in this area!"

Speaking of this, the old man looked at Liu Dong and nodded, and after looking him up and down, his face showed a look of thought. Immediately, he looked at Liu Dong with a certain expression, and continued with a stern expression: "Xiaodong, since you don't have a teacher now, and you are so talented in jade carving, why don't I introduce you to a teacher, so that you can go faster on the road of jade carving." ”

Obviously, after seeing Liu Dong's talent and talent in jade carving, the old man was moved by his love for talent and wanted to make a cameo appearance.

However, at this time, Zhou Bin didn't know what to do, originally he introduced Liu Dong and them to Zhang Lao, just to let Liu Dong expand his contacts, especially in the jade carving world, which is also conducive to him to communicate more with these master-level jade carvers, and is conducive to the improvement of his jade carving level.

Zhou Bin didn't want to let Liu Dong apprentice here, and although Zhang Lao is also a national-level jade carving master, he is a little inferior in level compared to Yan Lao, who is like Optimus Prime in the northern jade carving world.

Now, Liu Dong was also a little confused after listening to the old man's words, and he didn't expect Zhang Lao to let him apprentice when he opened his mouth.

To be honest, in fact, Liu Dong had already had the idea of learning jade carving systematically by worshipping a jade carving master as a teacher.

It's just that he came from an ordinary background, and he didn't have any interpersonal relationships when he came to the strange city of Quancheng, and he hadn't found any way over the years, and he didn't have much money on him, so this matter was delayed.

Last time, Uncle Long asked for Zhou Bin's help for him, and he had the way to worship Yan Lao as a teacher, which really made Liu Dong very happy in his heart.

Therefore, during this time, he also bought a lot of jadeite and Hetian jade to practice his carving, in order to be able to go to the capital to participate in the jade carving competition after the year, so that he could be favored by Yan Lao, and he was included in the door to systematically learn the craft of jade.
