Of course, Dongba Wen can be passed down to the present, and naturally there are its own unique places. Some scholars who are engaged in writing research have already noticed the Dongba script and have carried out collation and research.

It's just that these things can only be found in the museum library, otherwise, who else will know these characters except those old Dongba? Even the young people of the Naxi tribe don't know much about each other, let alone others.

Xie Bin played two games of chess with the old man, and then ran back to the villa in a gloomy manner. However, looking at the old man's smug expression, Xie Bin's heart was also much more comfortable. The old man was obviously very precious to Xie Bin to give him a Huanghuali wood carved chess.

It's only been a long time, and the chess has been played out of the pulp, and it is obvious that the old man has nothing to do with it. This is also normal, when you come across an object you like, everyone is like this.

Back at the villa, Xie Bin put aside Yu Xinyan's affairs and began to finish the homework assigned by the old man. The old man asked Xie Bin to copy this dictionary, in addition to asking Xie Bin to become familiar with the Dongba script faster, he also wanted to study it by himself.

The old man has played seal carving all his life, and he has also studied ancient characters all his life, but he has never seen this Dongba script, and he will naturally not miss it now.

However, if Dongba is to be placed in the eyes of insiders, it is relatively simple, after all, it is a hieroglyph, and after getting familiar with it, you can guess it by looking at the picture. After Xie Bin finished copying it, he was able to write down a lot of words.

Just looking at the handwriting he copied, Xie Bin was not very satisfied. This copy is indeed copied, but the handwriting in it is really a bit substandard. Xie Bin looked at it and transcribed it again, this time when he was transcribing, he was transcribing it stroke by stroke, like a painting.

I feel much better this time, although there are more strokes in Dongba, but the total number of words is less than 2,000 words, and it didn't take two days to transcribe. After giving the manuscript written by Teng to the old man, Xie Bin made a copy of the manuscript that Lao Dongba gave him, and then collected the original.

Although this manuscript is not an antique, it was copied by the old Dongba himself, and perhaps in more than ten years, this is the only one. Regardless of how much it is worth, the commemorative and research significance of it alone is not trivial.

The collection of books, calligraphy and paintings is generally placed in an ant-proof box, and the camphor wood box is the best, and the place where it is placed should be dry, without the danger of rats and fire.

The camphor wood box specially made by Xie Bin is now handy. However, there is only one painting in the box now, and this manuscript is a dictionary of the Dongba script.

That painting is still the original handiwork of Xie Bin and his grandfather collected by the miniature carver. Taking out this obviously substandard painting, Xie Bin looked at it for a while, and then put the painting away.

This painting is the old man's real handiwork, but it does not have the indifferent and arrogant style of later, which is completely different from the grandfather in Xie Bin's impression. But if you think about the situation of the old man before his death, it can be understood. The old man's level can make such a big leap, it is estimated that it is entirely because of that sudden encounter.

If it weren't for that disaster, the old man's level might not really be able to grow, and he probably painted like this for the rest of his life. Where will there be the momentum and mind of "lifting the pen to see the landscape and waving the sleeves"?

Thinking of the old man's previous works, Xie Bin sighed secretly. Whether he is painting, calligraphy or sculpture now, purely in terms of skills and techniques, he is not inferior to the old man at all. But the charm in the old man's works, Xie Bin has never been able to learn.

Xie Bin also knows that if you want to make your own works with your own style, it is not just a matter of technique, but also that unique style is the key. But this thing is not something that can be learned by imitation or learning, otherwise this master would be too cheap.

Therefore, Xie Bin is not in a hurry about this matter, but has been slowly groping. In the past year, he has also produced some fine objects in his hands, and the artistic conception is not bad. It's a pity that most of them are the result of a flash of inspiration, and they can't do it casually.

After studying the Dongba dictionary, Xie Bin began to complete the task he had left behind a few days ago. In addition to the items ordered in the first tasting, there are also some items in the online store. It would take many days to complete this piecemeal calculation.

And now Xie Bin's price is very high, so the requirements for the work are also higher, otherwise wouldn't it be a smashing of his own signboard? But before that, Xie Bin first carved a statue of Guan Gong for his shop.

There was originally a jade statue of Guan Gong on the side of the store, but it was bought by Li Moxuan, Xie Bin has been planning to carve another huanghuali on it, but there is no suitable opportunity to do it, and it has been delayed until now.

This time, I used rosewood as the material, but I needed to be more careful. Because of the limitation of materials, jadeite is constrained in shape, and sometimes it is impossible to let go. And changing it to wood, and this material is still a big material, which can allow Xie Bin to fully portray his impression of Guan Gong.

The jade Guan Gong statue is a complete portrait, with no background and foil, only one figure, and a green dragon glaive knife. There is nothing wrong with such an image, the statue of Guan Gong enshrined in many places is like this, and Xie Bin's knife skills are exquisite, full of skill, and very meticulous, plus the material, it is normal to sell 300 million yuan.

It's just that Xie Bin's understanding of Guan Gong is not something that can be portrayed by a single character. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the first novel Xie Bin reads, and he has a deep impression of Guan Gong. Even so, the rest of the plot doesn't taste much to read.

In Xie Bin's own feelings, if the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is counted as ten points, Guan Gong alone accounts for six points. Of course, this is just Xie Bin's feeling, it can't be true, and there is no need to care about it.

But Guan Gong's status in Xie Bin's heart is beyond doubt. Therefore, how can a simple character shape express the overall image of Guan Gong?

A week later, the statue of Guan Gong was released. This time, Guan Gong changed Xie Bin's meticulously carved knife technique, and did not use round carving, but used semi-circular carving, with a background.

The theme is naturally Guan Gong, Guan Gong is very large, almost as high as the mountains behind him as the background, there is nothing special about the shape, standing with a knife in one hand, gently holding his long beard with one hand, his body is straight, and he looks into the distance, as if he is recalling the changes of the year.

And on the background on both sides of Guan Gong's body, there are countless large and small figures, looking closely, there are Liu Bei holding a double-strand sword, Zhang Fei riding a horse and a spear, and there are also characters who have been defeated by Guan Yu, such as Pang De, Yan Liangwen, Chou and others. And if you look closely, you can also find some large and small scenes.

For example, there is bone scraping to heal wounds, a miniature version of Guan Gong playing chess as usual, and an old man operating on him; There was also a single knife to the meeting, Guan Gong stood majestically aside, and the generals of Dongwu bowed their heads in panic and were silent; There is also Taoyuan righteousness, the peach blossoms in the courtyard are vivid, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them kneel down in front of the incense case to burn incense and tie up, and so on, there are no less than 20 large and small, all of which are famous events in Guan Gong's life.

And these scenes and characters are all lifelike, but the size is different, important characters such as Zhang Fei and Liu Bei are relatively large and visible at a glance, while some less famous characters are relatively small, and some even need a magnifying glass to see.

The same is true of the large and small scenes, such as the most famous ones, which are visible to the naked eye, and those that are less important are mixed with several large scenes and carved in miniature carving.

And in this way, there is a shape from a distance, there are people up close, and there are scenes when you look closely, and they are all quite cleverly arranged, and they are not mixed, complicated but not chaotic.

And the most important companion of Guan Gong's life, the Red Rabbit Horse, appeared on Guan Gong's side in the image of No. 2, second only to Guan Gong in size, with a flying and divine shape, and a quite tacit understanding with the static Guan Gong. Of course, this is Xie Bin's layout is clever enough.

In addition to the characters and scenes, Xie Bin also carved two lines of lacquered gold lines at both ends of the background, "With a red face and a red heart, ride the red rabbit to chase the wind, and don't forget the Red Emperor when galloping; The green lantern views the green history, the green dragon and the moon, and the hidden place is worthy of the blue sky".

After completion, Xie Bin looked at his work and was very satisfied. In order to carve this statue of Guan Gong, Xie Bin also deliberately recorded Guan Yu's life experience, and carefully selected those scenes, each scene has several characters, what shape each one has, and so on are depicted in great detail.

In this way, although the shape of the whole work seems simple, but on closer inspection, the three-dimensional sense is very strong. makes this statue have a sense of reviewing the vicissitudes of history after traveling through time and space, and makes the image of Guan Erye vivid all of a sudden.

Guan Erye stood with his head held high, his phoenix eyes were half-open, there was neither a great momentum, nor a prestige that wanted to be suppressed first, just like an ordinary person standing quietly. But the more this is the case, the more it feels that it is not simple, especially those backgrounds made of other characters and scenes, so that the statue of Guan Gong in front of them gives people a sense of seeing through the red dust of the world.

Looking at this statue of Guan Gong, Xie Bin nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this can also be regarded as a treasure of the town store, but this is the kind that is never sold, and it will not be sold for any amount of money. Because this size was originally made according to the specifications of a tasting.

However, if no one reminds them, ordinary people probably won't notice the peculiarities of this Guan Gong statue, especially in a tasting, this wood carving is really not brilliant. Of course, it is difficult to say if you meet an expert, after all, yellow rosewood is still relatively unique, and it is as eye-catching as those jadeites in the eyes of experts.

When Xie Bin invited this Guan Gong statue to a tasting, Zou Xintong couldn't see the special features of this Guan Gong statue, after all, she didn't play with this. "Xie Bin, how did you get a piece of wood, if you want to respect the second master, why do you have to get some good materials? Even if there is no glass material, it is ice or glutinous, look at you stingy, be careful that Guan Erye is angry and will not bless you......"
