Chapter Seventy-Three: Engraving and Carving
Studies have shown that a 1-year-old child's attention span is 15 seconds, and a 5-year-old can last 15 minutes. The attention sustained ability of 7~10-year-old children is 20 minutes, 10~12 years old has about 25 minutes, and the attention sustained ability of children over 12 years old can reach 30 minutes, and adults generally within an hour.
But no matter what it is, it is multi-dimensional, that is to say, to judge a person's concentration, the duration is only one aspect, and there is another very important indicator, that is, Cheng dù
Cheng dù deep people are not consciously beating gongs and drums in their ears, and Cheng dù shallow people can notice a yawn around them. Most people fall into the latter category of the table for the duration of their concentration, and the true depth of attention generally does not exceed five minutes.
Li Yi's engraving took almost an hour, and the time spent in a state of deep attention exceeded 40 hours
Let's talk about hand steady. Whether a person's hand is stable or not is not determined by willpower or control, but by a kind of muscle memory cultivated through a lot of hard training.
This is very easy to understand, those who have been soldiers know that when practicing guns, they must stand still with their guns for a long time, and sometimes they will hang bricks on them. Anyone who has practiced calligraphy knows that they have to hang their wrists for a long time, and even have to put eggs in their elbow sockets, and they should have seen it on TV if they haven't done either......
And Li Yi, just now the steadiness of the wrist and elbow seems to have been trained continuously for more than ten or twenty years with a similar method, although the feeling of the fingers is still lacking a lot, but it is not a problem, most of it is that he has not been able to do it before.
With these two points, not to mention Hu Zhiyuan's temptation, any carving master will be tempted, not even a carving master, even if it is a national coach in the shooting category, a top master in the calligraphy and painting industry, and even many top figures in other industries, at least more than half of them will be like him, crying and shouting that he wants to accept Li Yi as an apprentice
"Would you like to worship me as a teacher?"
Hu Zhiyuan asked again, but unfortunately he didn't know what Li Yi was thinking at the moment, if he knew that this genius who made him evaluate him so highly, the motivation to learn jade carving was just that he didn't want those unscrupulous businessmen to earn his processing profits and channel profits, it was estimated that he would fly up and immediately give this closed disciple who had not yet entered the door a good luck
"Of course I do, now it's developed...... Old Hu, no, Master, what am I going to do? Do you want to inform my parents about an apprenticeship ceremony? ”
Hu Lao shook his head,
"It's just a registered disciple, so you don't need to be so troublesome."
A basin of cold water was poured on his head, and the named disciple was actually just a registered disciple...... It's not right, don't the books say that as soon as they see the pig's feet a little bit of meaning, they immediately cry and shout and crawl over, grab the master's broken head, grab the wife's broken cylinder, and grab the little brother's ......
Well, when I didn't say it, I took the initiative to hook up with one and was dumped in less than a day......
"You take this diary, you also take this piece of material, and after a year, as long as you carve out a work that satisfies me with this piece of material, I will accept you as a closed disciple."
Li Yi's eyes lit up again, and the corners of his mouth provoked a hint of a smile, a year? You wait, I definitely won't take so long for Viggo to finish this book in ten months, although this one promised me a longer length, but I still have to be on guard against him in case one day his brain is pumped into the water show to tease off the line......
"Well, yes, boy, burn your little universe, let me see, where is the limit of the starry sky"
Li Yi didn't walk out of Hu Zhiyuan's house, he was still thinking about a profound question, saying, like Lao Hu, no, Master, such a person who is virtuous and famous, who is righteous and awe-inspiring, and has a reputation that vibrates the world, and stands at the top of the world, will he also watch cartoons about the island country when he is fine?
Li Yi did not go home directly, but drove around the city, since he wanted to learn carving well, he naturally had to prepare a complete set of knives. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and after looking at the master's carving knife, he felt that the knives before him were simply weak
However, after driving around for a long time, I didn't find a place to sell carving knives, in fact, it is not impossible to find a place, the most important thing is that Yangnan is all jade carvings, and now jade carvings are all electric carving knives, using this kind of knife to carve the wood on the hand, not to mention what the master's reaction will be, but the picture, thinking about it is also drunk, the picture is too beautiful to look at
In desperation, he decided to go back and ask Master, his old man should always know where to sell it, right?
"Master, the apprentice has made up his mind, not afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, not afraid of hardships, work hard, unswervingly swear to learn carving, look, can you give me your set of carving knives first?"
Li Yi, who was full of bags, muttered out of the courtyard, found the place where the master told him, bought a few large pieces of cork, added a few carving knives, and hurried to the jade factory with high interest. Besides, if you don't say hello to Uncle Fifth when you go back to Kyoto, it will be too much to say.
The jade factory was as deserted as ever, and unsurprisingly, Li Yi found the fifth uncle who was left alone in the office on the second floor.
"What? You said that Hu Lao wants to accept you as a disciple? Really? You can't be the wrong person, right? ”
Hearing that Hu Zhiyuan was going to accept Li Yi as a disciple, the fifth uncle was so shocked that the white jade handle in his hand almost fell to the ground and shattered.
Is it really Hu Zhiyuan? What did he like about you?
After knowing that Li Yi didn't lie to him, the fifth uncle took out a piece of cork from the drawer and threw it to Li Yi.
"You carved what you just carved, and you carved one for me."
Li Yi rolled his eyes, okay, the elder didn't dare to resign, the elder didn't dare to disobey, but that state just now seemed to be quite comfortable......
It's still the same work, this time the speed is much faster, after the completion of the fifth uncle did not look at his finished product, but grabbed his arm and looked left and right, as if he had found some incredible treasure.
"What's the matter, Uncle Five, I have a problem with my hand?"
"You haven't left it for so many years?"
The fifth uncle shook his head and asked rhetorically.
"I lost it when I was in high school, so I'm also strange, if Hu Lao directly accepted me as a disciple, it would be good to say, it proves that he took a fancy to me as a person, but he asked me to carve something first, and then he wanted to accept me as a disciple, it would be really strange."
Li Yi was also puzzled.
"Hmph, after looking at your carving, don't say it's him, anyone will accept you as a disciple, and you are directly a beginner disciple, but with his current status, it is normal to register your name for a year."
"Aha, so I'm pretty good at carving."
Li Yi looked at the villain he had just carved with joy on his face,
"No, Master has another one in his hand, such a good thing can't be given to him casually, I have to find a way to ......"
"If you want you to be the rotten thing you carved, give it to me as firewood"
The fifth uncle knew that Li Yi was talking nonsense, but he was still furious, and he would never allow anyone to joke about the carving that he regarded as sacred.
"Your wrist is even more stable than mine, and your concentration is also remarkable, I think Hu Lao should have taken a fancy to you. Strange, you kid don't practice calligraphy, don't carve, how can your wrist be so stable? ”
Because it was an errand, Li Yi's attention this time was not as focused as when he was there with Hu Lao, but he was still noticed by the fifth uncle. But the wrist is steady...... Is it stable? How did I not find out?
Li Yi suddenly remembered He Shou Wu, he didn't feel it himself, but it was particularly obvious in his parents' bodies, that is, after eating the porridge with ingredients, the coordination of their hands and feet was like a heaven and an underground compared to before
The most obvious example is my mother's square dance. In the past, the old ladies in the factory were ashamed to dance with their mothers, and they didn't have her share in all kinds of performances, and said that that was the real shame, but now she has become the lead dancer, especially the little apple, with a strong sense of rhythm, coquettish and charming, I don't know how many little old men have been stunned
The effect of muscle control is obvious, the effect of coordination enhancement is obvious, and perhaps the enhancement of concentration should also be counted on He Shou Wu's head, oh my God, please drop another one
