When Chen Ran stood in front of the work table, he immediately became the focus of the audience, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, and the whole audience fell into silence for a while, no one spoke, and they all looked at Chen Ran who was preparing to carve jade expectantly.

However, what was a little disappointing was that Chen Ran didn't do it immediately, just put the jade material on the work table in front of him, lowered his head, looked at this piece of jade material that was not very good, and didn't know what he was thinking......
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Chen Ran do it, the audience couldn't help but feel a little commotion, there is no doubt that Chen Ran's behavior is very confusing, the time of this competition is only ninety minutes in total, and Chen Ran spent nearly twenty minutes selecting materials, at this time, he is not in a hurry to start carving jade, and when he starts carving, is there enough time?
Faced with this situation, almost all of the people present couldn't help but have such questions in their hearts.
Chen Ran was not in a hurry, but Guo Hai in the audience was sweating profusely for him, and he wanted to stand up and shout at Chen Ran several times, but he was stopped by Zhu Feng and persuaded him not to disturb Chen Ran......
With the passage of time, Chen Ran still hasn't made a move, and after a commotion, the crowd around them gradually quieted down, since Chen Ran is not in a hurry, what are they anxious about, therefore, they don't look at Chen Ran anymore, and simply focus on other people.
Although there are thirteen players on the field, the audience's eyes are only focused on those few people, and the remaining players, regardless of their actions or demeanor, although they are very serious, are only decent, and there are not many bright spots.
On the field, the most eye-catching is Lu Tianming, at this moment Lu Tianming is in good condition, he has been completely immersed in his jade carving, as Chen Ran imagined, in his Lu family, there is indeed an ancient jade carving method handed down.
The ancestor of the Lu family was a court jade carver, and his natural carving was first-class.
What is a court jade carver? Generally speaking, the court jade carver represents the pinnacle of jade carving technology in that era on a certain Cheng dΓΉ, which shows that since the ancestor of the Lu family can become the court jade carver in the Qianlong period, then its own carving work is needless to say.
And after hundreds of years of circulation, the Lu family carvers have long been their own school, forming their own style, their family heirloom royal brocade carving method, carved out of the jade, the shape is neat and symmetrical, with a unique royal style, very popular with jade carving lovers.
Lu Tianming practiced the method of family carving, and he did not have the first year as Chen Ran imagined, in fact, it was only less than four years, but this was because in the early years, he did not like to carve jade.
Practicing the method of carving jade, is undoubtedly extremely boring, at that time, not to mention that he didn't like carving jade, just liked, with his character at the time, he couldn't hold his breath, but then Lu Dawson told him a family matter of the Lu family, in order to achieve that purpose, he could only force himself to practice, his talent was not bad, although he had only practiced for three or four years, but he had already made small achievements.
At this moment, Lu Tianming, who was carved with jade, felt very good, he was very satisfied with this state, not only was he very satisfied, but Lu Daosen, who saw this scene, was also very satisfied, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
In addition to Lu Tianming's more attractive, another attraction is Li Baoping, in fact, Li Baoping's carving is not attractive at all, because he uses the famous Ku Ding Jie Niu knife method in the jade carving world.
As the saying goes, Ku Ding solved the cow to find the trick, and practiced the knife for three years. Solving the problem is the result, and success depends on one word of diligence. At first, it was not actually a carving technique, but was mostly used for cooking by cooks, but gradually, it was also used for wood carving, stone carving, and finally became a kind of jade carving.
What attracts people's attention is not Li Baoping's carving method, but Li Baoping's demeanor and movements, at this moment Li Baoping's eyes are clear and firm, looking straight ahead, with a fearless momentum, holding the carving knife in the right hand as if carrying the weight of the whole body, knife after knife carved on the jade material, each knife is like a heavy hammer, with an extremely heavy feeling, knocking on the hearts of the audience, so that the audience looked at it, they couldn't help but close their eyes, dare not look again.
Compared with the others, Ma Jian's movements were more casual, circling around the jade material on the table, and he used the carving technique of gossamer wool carving.
There is a kind of Yin carved thin line in the jade of the Han Dynasty, and its line shape is like a gossamer, as thin as a hair, and later generations call it "gossamer hair carving".
This line is carved on jade with a very thin and hard object, and if the force is uneven, there will be forks and intermittent "jumping knives". This technique appeared in the late Warring States period, but it was widely used in the Han Dynasty. Later, in the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, it also appeared, but the lines were deep and thick, and there was no sense of "gossamer carving" and "jumping knife". The difference between the two is an important symbol for identifying jade from the Han or post-Han dynasties today.
The gossamer wool carving used by Ma Jian is also the latter.
In addition to these players, Ah Han at this moment is undoubtedly very optimistic, perhaps because of the elimination of tension, compared with the enterprising competition, at this moment he is like a different person, he has entered the state, and his hands are as if they are brought to life, and he seems to be spiritual.
Although Chen Ran has not yet started, just these people carved jade on the spot, and everyone watched with relish, especially those tourists who were pulled by the tour group, they all felt that this trip was worthwhile, and it was not easy to see the jade carver hand-carved jade on the spot.
With the passage of time, soon half of the time for the competition has passed, and in the huge arena, there are more and more people gathered, at this moment, after all, it is the peony flower festival season in Huadu, there are many tourists, seeing that there is a lively here, they naturally came over, and when they came, they were attracted, so that more and more people gathered, but although there were more and more people, the whole audience was still quiet.
Quiet is quiet, but it can't be said to be silent, because whenever an audience focuses on Chen Ran, they can't help but whisper a few words, from the initial anticipation to patience...... With the loss of time, the audience's expectations and patience are also disappearing little by little, and now, seeing that Chen Ran still hasn't done it, they basically feel that Chen Ran gave up because of the mediocre carving, because even if Chen Ran started carving immediately at this time, it was too late in time.
Chen Ran naturally did not give up, but was completely immersed in his own ideas, at this moment, in his mind, a piece of jade, a perfect jade, this jade is exactly the jade that Chen Ran wants to carve, and it is what it looks like after the carving is completed.
The eight-knife wave-splitting knife method is different from other carving methods, once the eight-knife wave-splitting knife method begins to carve, then it can no longer be stopped, it must be done in one go, when it stops, it will be carved, if it has not been carved to stop, then the carved jade will basically be destroyed.
Unlike other knife techniques, no matter what kind of knife method, it will stop halfway, because generally speaking, when carving this side, when you want to carve the other side, you naturally need to stop, and then change the direction to carve, and the eight-knife wave-splitting knife method is different, the eight-knife wave-splitting knife method is integral, that is to say, there is no distinction between this side at all, and that side, once carved, it is an all-round carving.
If it were other knife techniques, it would undoubtedly be basically impossible to do this, but the Eight Knife Splitting Wave Knife Method could, of course, it also needed to cooperate with the movements of the body, that is, that kind of weird movements.
Needless to say, the perfection of the jade carved in such an all-round way.
Similarly, this is also the reason why Chen Ran was blindfolded when he practiced the Eight Swords Splitting Wave Knife Technique, because he couldn't stop halfway, and he had to imprint the whole piece of jade material in his mind, of course, when Chen Ran practiced at home at will, he naturally didn't need the process of conception.
After perfecting the pattern in his mind over and over again, Chen Ran finally opened his slightly closed eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the jade material the size of a football in front of him......
While the audience was paying attention to Chen Ran, the experts on the judges' bench were also paying attention to Chen Ran, seeing that it was such a time, Chen Ran had not yet started carving, Shi Shucheng, the vice principal of the jade carving school, couldn't help frowning, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity!" β
When the old man Wang left, he had specially told him to pay attention to Chen Ran's knife work, he thought that there was something peculiar about the other party's carving, which made him look forward to it, but he didn't expect the other party to abstain directly, which couldn't help but disappoint him, and at the same time, this also made him have a bad impression of Chen Ran, as a jade carver, he didn't even have the courage to carve, so what could he achieve.
It seems that he is only theoretically knowledgeable.
"Nothing to worry about." Lu Daosen, who was paying attention to Lu Tianming's jade carving, answered without looking back, he was in a good mood at the moment, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and threw it in front of Shi Shucheng, smiled slightly, and said: "Look at this jade, this is what he carved, and that's it." β
This piece of jade, it is the Chang'e Running to the Moon that Chen Ran once carved, Shi Shucheng took it and took a look, in his eyes, this Chang'e Running to the Moon can be regarded as a certain level, but it is only relatively speaking, such a level is undoubtedly worse in such a competition, not worse, but a lot worse.
Lu Dawson waited for Shi Shucheng to take a look, then shook his head and smiled: "The theoretical knowledge is not bad, but it's a pity, as a jade carver, the important thing is the knife work, his level is put in the finals, and he really can't get out, it seems that he is quite self-aware......"
As he spoke, Lu Dawson suddenly closed his mouth......
Shi Shucheng, who was sitting next to him, was stunned, as if he had seen something incredible, and stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement......
This...... This is the Spring and Autumn Dancing Jade!
And at this moment, Chen Ran was already moving!
[If you don't ask for tickets, there will be fewer tickets, which is really ...... Then please. γ
