"This little friend, I don't know what kind of jade you like, I can help you make it. (Please search, update the fastest fiction website!)" Suddenly, the old man sitting behind the machine asked Chen Yi, he knew that Gu just said that this young man was an appraiser and had some understanding of jade culture, since this was the case, then it depended on whether he knew these basic common sense.

"Old man, there is a saying called aptitude, not that I can do whatever I want, but to see what this jade is suitable for, according to human will, it will undoubtedly damage the spirituality given to jade by nature." Chen Yi smiled slightly and said to the old man.

Hearing these words, the old man was a little surprised, then nodded and smiled, and painted on the jade by himself, and Gu was relieved to smile, but he didn't expect Chen Yi to be sensitive, and he didn't fall for this old man, and his answer was reasonable, which shows that he does have an understanding of jade culture.

The old man was holding an oval piece of jade in his hand, looking at the middle of it, there was a part of the protrusion, the old man picked up the brush, and circled a vivid humanoid silhouette on this jade, and the figure represented by this outline can be said to be a household name.

It is the Maitreya Buddha with a big belly, judging from the characteristics of this jade pendant, the Maitreya Buddha can be said to be the most suitable, and the place where the middle protrudes is just right as the round belly of the Maitreya Buddha.

The two most significant characteristics of Maitreya Buddha are known to everyone in China, one is the smiling face that is sweeter than eating honey, and the other is the round belly.

Seeing that the old man had a few strokes in his hand, he sketched the outline of this Maitreya Buddha on the uneven jade, and Chen Yi looked serious. Carefully watched the old man's movements.

Learn jade carving. Naturally, a certain amount of art skills is required. Otherwise, if you just carve according to what you want in your heart, most of the things you carve will be failures.

"Chen Xiaoyou, according to his aptitude, is to design and carve the subject according to the color, texture and shape of this piece of jade, and it is necessary to make the maximum use of jade. And try to get rid of some cracks and flaws on the jade, so that the most beautiful side of the jade can be shown to everyone. Looking at Chen Yi's serious expression, the ancient man on the side couldn't help but smile and said.

After this piece of jade was hooked, it was taken by the old man to some machines for carving, and soon, a rough form of Maitreya Buddha was figured out.

It's just that now that the shape is there, the outline of the brush that was previously drawn on the flat jade is no longer visible. This time, the old man picked up the thin brush again. Details are drawn on this three-dimensional jade outline to facilitate further carving of three-dimensional shapes.

Under some ancient introductions, Chen Yi couldn't help but have the most basic understanding of some of the main tools of Zhuoyu.

According to ancient sayings, this is just a tool for making small pieces of jade, and if you make large jade carvings, then naturally you can't use these machines.

Every time he pondered and trimmed on the machine, he used tools of different specifications, which made Chen Yi a little eye-opener, if he didn't come here to watch, he wouldn't have a deep understanding of jade carving at all.

Just pondered out the outline, just the rough carving of jade, and then the fine carving, but according to the ancient introduction, the rough carving is more important than the fine carving, because this is not a painting, the wrong painting can also be torn and repainted, once the jade is carved, it is difficult to turn back, the rough carving can be said to be the basis of the success of the entire jade carving, if there is a mistake in the rough carving, then this jade, even if it is not wasted, the space that can be used is also very little.

The rough carving of the outline, the fine carving is the further fine survey of the jade shape, so that the picture of the table xiàn from the outline state of the rough carving, into the precise shaping of the real, realistic, action, expression of the subtle carving process.

Among them, when pondering and trimming shapes and details, the number of times it is brought to the machine cannot be counted, and each time it is necessary to enter the viewing, and then continue to carve.

Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh a little, jade carving work requires more patience than painting, otherwise, once there is a mistake in pondering, then the previous work will be ruined.

The old man's movements were very skillful, and the constantly rotating machine seemed to have eyes, and soon, the whole piece of jade had changed from an outline to a Maitreya Buddha with a smiling face and a stomach.

This process, also made Chen Yi look a little thrilling, in the grinding of the details of the face, the old man directly polished the face of Maitreya Buddha on the machine, a little careless, it is estimated that this jade pendant will be scrapped, but the old man's movements are very stable, after polishing, Maitreya Buddha's face is more rounded, and the smile on his face is also more brilliant.

This made Chen Yi sigh again, the jade carving is not patient, but if it does not have a strong heart, it is also not good.

At this point, Maitreya Buddha has reached the shape of Cheng Dù from the floor plan to the shape, and the subtle expressions of his face, as well as his hands and feet, have all been carved, and even the round hole of the rope has been drilled out in the meantime.

Similarly, Gu also briefly introduced to him some of the knowledge of the old man when he was cutting jade, which was only the most basic, not too advanced things, even so, it benefited Chen Yi a lot.

This is the same as learning to paint, being able to better identify paintings, now that he has really seen and understood the carving process of jade, even if he does not have the opportunity to learn, it will be of great help to him in the future identification of jade.

Although this Maitreya Buddha already has a shape, it still needs to go through the final polishing, and some edges and corners formed by the surface due to polishing are smoothed and smoothed, so that the whole jade pendant becomes smoother.

Polishing is a very important and irreplaceable work in jade carving, even if some jade carving masters, the jade is very fine, but the surface of the jade is still rough, which undoubtedly affects the beauty of the jade round and smooth.

If the previous work was just like plastic surgery on the face, then the next polishing is to remove some dark spots on the face and make the whole face more perfect.

Needless to say, which is more beautiful is a face with pimples and pigmentation or a white and flawless face, and polishing is the responsibility of making jade like this.

Polishing is similar to what Chen Yi imagined, there are grinders, sandpaper, and abrasive cloth, but such small things are naturally polished with abrasive cloth or sandpaper.

On this Maitreya Buddha jade pendant, the old man picked up the sandpaper and kept polishing back and forth, looking very serious, the polishing process is more boring, sometimes, a place, to polish many times.

After about ten minutes, under the skillful skills of the old man, this Maitreya Buddha jade pendant can be said to be officially completed, washed in clean water, and the old man put it on the table.

And Chen Yi looked at the bright and bright, crystal clear Maitreya Buddha jade pendant on the table, and his face showed a look of surprise.

The process of carving this jade pendant can be said to be a miracle, from the jade that looked very ordinary before, slowly taking shape, to now, looking at the smiling face of this Maitreya Buddha, anyone can't help but be infected.

Chen Yi sighed very much, he didn't expect that with these ordinary tools, he could make jade into the desired form, which was more difficult than painting.

If you want to paint, you can learn for a few months, and basically some simple Western paintings and Chinese paintings can be painted, but this jade carving is only a beginner after a few months.

No wonder many people are reluctant to learn jade carving, people from art background, do not worry about the future at all, if you waste ten years on jade carving, go to other industries, it is estimated that even if you do not become the top, you will become a backbone.

"Chen Xiaoyou, how do you feel?" Looking at Chen Yi's face, Gu couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Ancient, I finally understand why jade culture occupies a great position in Chinese culture, the reason is because this jade is the crystallization of a little effort of our Chinese people, and the birth of every jade is poured into the hard work of jade carvers and their emotions."

Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, "Those literati and scholars in ancient times, wearing beautiful jade pendants, seem to be extremely beautiful, but without the efforts of jade carving masters, how can they come to their scenery, jade culture can continue to show, although there are the merits of those literati and scholars, but the most important thing is the result of the continuous study of jade carving masters and the best side of jade." ”

Chen Yi would not have such a feeling if he had not seen the process of jade carving, but this time he looked at a piece of jade pendant that was not good-looking, and in the hands of the old man, it turned into a lifelike Maitreya Buddha, and his heart was naturally full of amazement.

"Chen Xiaoyou, I didn't expect you to have such a deep feeling, we are just the makers, and those who wear jade pendants are the communicators, as you said, the jade culture can be exhibited until now, with our credit, but the credit of those communicators is also indispensable, some high-level jade appreciators, or more important than us."

"We carved out some perfect jade, but if there is no corresponding level of jade appreciation, then in the eyes of ordinary people, some of the characteristics of our jade, can not be reflected, just like the current society, full of interests, some people need only cheap and simple jade, these jade made by artificial through complex technology, the appreciation of people is less and less." Hearing Chen Yi's words, Gu Gu said with a smile, and there was some embarrassment in his tone.

Jiang Wei also nodded at this time, "Yes, just like the jade carving sub-cue ball "Spring of the New Century" presided over by the retired art master Lan Lao of the jade carving factory, it is carved with a whole piece of southern jade weighing eighteen tons, and after it is carved, it weighs three tons, using the carving technique, and the appearance is carved with a variety of flower and bird patterns such as peony, kapok, thrush, etc., and there are eight ball layers stacked in the ball, and there are four sub-balls on all sides, which can be rotated freely, which can be said to be the embodiment of the highest skill of Lingzhou jade carving. ”

"It is said that in order to carve this thing, Lan Lao raised more than 70 cages of birds at home, and it took a year to complete the creation and conception, and finally won the gold medal of the highest award of the Hundred Flowers Award for Craftsmanship, but there has been no one who appreciates it, so it has to be placed in the Lingzhou City Staff Sanatorium."
