Chapter 338: Jade Carving Competition
"Ha Luha, Xiao Yi, you put all the credit on us, we can't afford it, you can reach today's level, we only played a guiding role, and your efforts have played a key role."
Chen Yi's words made Gu Gu laugh for a while, and then shook his head and said, if there is a different person, even if they teach for two months or three months, they will not have half the level of Chen Yi.
Gu and the others looked at Chen Yi, their faces were full of relief, as far as they knew, Chen Yi had only been in Lingzhou for a month, but in this month, he had done a lot of amazing things.
Became friends with the heirs of Yuan Lao and Qian Lao's two major painting schools, and became the heirs of their Lingzhou jade carving, and during this period, found a lot of treasures, after Yuan Lao and others watched, they knew the existence of these ten flower god cups, after seeing, they were also shocked.
When they learned the value of these ten Flower God Cups, they couldn't help but fall into shock, tens of millions, hard to believe, but Chen Yi, the owner of these Flower God Cups, continued to study as if he had nothing to do, as if these tens of millions did not exist, which made them have a deeper understanding of Chen Yi's state of mind.
Another point, when Chen Yi and Yang Qishen met, they could clearly see that Yang Qishen didn't particularly care about this little junior brother, but now, Yang Qishen had nothing to talk about with him.
"Okay, Xiaoyi, it doesn't matter whose credit it is, the important thing is that you can pass on the Lingzhou jade carving culture, so that we are satisfied, now on the jade pendant, engrave your style." It can be your name. It could also be one of the characters in your name. Of course, there are no special requirements for carving or not. Then, Gu explained to Chen Yi the most difficult procedure of jade carving.
Chen Yi nodded, compared with most of the things such as calligraphy and paintings, this jade carving work, whether it is signed or not, depends on the requirements of the jade owner or the mood of the carver. Generally speaking, jade carving masters will only leave a note on the jade carving that they are most satisfied with.
For Chen Yi himself, this jade pendant himself is the most satisfying work, he picked up the carving knife, in the inconspicuous place on the inside of one foot of this jade horse, first used primary calligraphy, wrote a Yi character on it, and then used the primary jade carving technique, carving.
After using the primary jade carving technique. When he sculpts, he has the same feeling in his mind as he does with painting. Let his knife fall be more stable, and the handwriting will be more perfect.
After this word fell, Gu and the others were a little surprised, "Xiaoyi, we haven't seen you carve words on jade before, I didn't expect that in such a corner, you can still carve such elegant words, a Yi word, just like its meaning, very elegant and natural." ”
This Yizi is carved perfectly, and it can even be compared to their level, they didn't expect Chen Yi's level of carving on the jade carving to be even more powerful.
"Xiaoyi, can you leave this jade pendant with us as a commemoration, so that everyone knows that our Lingzhou jade carving has a great inheritor." Looking at this jade pendant, the ancient face unabashedly showed a look of love.
Chen Yi nodded, although this jade pendant is the first thing he carved worth more than 10,000 yuan, and he also completed the jade carving task because of this, and the commemorative significance is very great, but compared to the teachings of the ancient and others, it is nothing at all, and the ancient wants to stay, he will naturally not refuse, "Ancient, all my skills are given by you, not to mention a jade pendant, just stay as a souvenir." ”
"Okay, Xiaoyi, since you said so, we stayed, from this jade pendant, it is enough to see that you have a certain degree of proficiency in jade carving, so in addition to testing some new ideas, the rest of the time, you will use some valuable jade materials to carve, after all, the practice materials and the jade materials used in real carving are very different." Gu then said to Chen Yi.
The practice material is the practice material, and the material that is really used for carving is fundamentally different in terms of carving feel.
"Well, I know the truth, ancient." Chen Yi nodded and smiled, judging from the perfection of the handwriting carved just now, the functions of the primary jade carving technique and the primary painting technique can be said to be exactly the same.
Now that he has obtained the intermediate appraisal technique, at the time of identification, he can find some detailed defects on the jade he carved, which has helped him a lot, and it can be said that the appraisal technique is the source of progress in the things he has learned now.
At this time, Yu Lao glanced at Gu Gu, Gu Gu thought about it, and nodded, "Xiao Yi, from the jade you carved today, we know what your level is, so we have to tell you one thing now, as for whether you participate or not, it doesn't matter." ”
"Ancient, please." Chen Yi asked with some curiosity, not knowing what the ancient Dao Dao was talking about.
"This thing is, in a month, there will be a jade carving competition in Tianjing, this competition was more than ten years ago, decided by our major jade carving factions after consultation, the purpose is to increase the exchange between the new jade carving apprentices of the various factions, learn from each other's experience, so as to gain momentum, held every three years, each faction recommends a maximum of three people to participate, and the time for participants to learn jade carving, can not exceed three years, it can be said that it is a newcomer jade carving competition between the factions, if particularly prominent, It will be directly absorbed into the Jade Society, and if there is no apprentice, it will be taught by some senior jade carving masters. ”
Then, the old man said with a heavy face, they have a lot of jewelry industry in Lingzhou, and there are many jade carvers, but the only people who can really represent the jade carving school in Lingzhou are them.
Chen Yi smiled, obviously hearing the underlying meaning of the ancient words, "Ancient, I think the exchange of experience is fake, and it is true to show off the level of outstanding jade carvers in various factions." ”
"Xiaoyi, it's true, but any competition is purposeful, the competition is naturally to show the high level of jade carving between the factions, after all, no matter which faction, which culture, someone needs to pass it on, and the recommendation of these people must be determined by the most representative jade carving masters among the factions, and then proved by the local jade association, this is the ticket to be able to participate in the competition, and all the selected jade carvers must represent the jade carving culture of the school, otherwise, It's just a smile and a generous smile. ”
Gu shook his head and continued: "The representative of our Lingzhou jade carving is naturally the retired Lan Lao and the teacher Gao who is still carrying out the inheritance of Lingzhou jade carving, of course, we old immortals can also be counted as a share, but the two of them have not accepted apprentices in recent years. ”
"Originally, we didn't want to mention it, because you have only been learning jade carving for a month, but your performance in jade carving today is far beyond our expectations, and in this competition, because they are all rookie jade carvers, they can't carve some large objects at all, so your level can handle it...... Alas, forget it, Xiaoyi, you continue to practice, three years later, we still have a chance, we can't let you suffer from other people's eyes for the sake of this possibility. ”
Suddenly, as he spoke, Gu Gu stopped and sighed, Chen Yi's performance today is indeed very good, but compared with those apprentices who have excellent conditions and have practiced for three years, I am afraid it is still a lot worse, and they Lingzhou jade carving has not participated in the competition for many years, this time suddenly participated, the pressure on Chen Yi was absolutely beyond imagination.
Chen Yi's face became solemn, he naturally knew that the pressure that Lingzhou jade carving culture has faced over the years also understood that the ancient impulse of them to prove the excellence of Lingzhou jade carving, but with his jade carving level of studying for a month, how could he show the excellence of Lingnan jade carving in the competition.
Yu Lao also nodded, understanding that he was a little anxious before, the carving level of these old men is very profound, but so what, there is no disciple who can inherit these skills of theirs, Chen Yi let them see hope, and this hope must not be dashed, so it is most appropriate not to participate in this competition, "Xiaoyi, Lao Gu is right, three years later, we will go again, and we will definitely make the Lingnan jade carving culture amazing." ”
"After a month, there is still some time, ancient, I need to spend half a month to strengthen the training, if half a month later, the jade carving I carved, to achieve my desired goal, I will participate, otherwise, if I go, it will undoubtedly be a stain on Lingnan culture." Chen Yi thought about it and said with a firm gaze.
There is no jade carving, within a month, he has made such progress, below, there is an intermediate identification and jade carving, presumably his progress, will be greater, learn to paint for a few months, he can draw the peacock crow picture, work hard, jade carving will be like painting.
"Xiaoyi, the jade carving is not a grinding spear in battle, and it is not fast and light, I regret telling you about it a little." Gu Gu couldn't help but show regret, Chen Yi is a responsible person, they know very well, they can learn from them, it is because they love jade carving culture.
Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, ancient, if I want to go when the time comes, then you must be satisfied with the carved things." "A beginner's painting technique has given him more insights and help than he has gained by practicing for a long time.
"That's fine, Xiaoyi, remember, don't be too impatient, jade carving, you must be calm, otherwise, it will backfire." Gu Zai thought for a while and nodded, if he directly rejected Chen Yi, it would be extremely inappropriate, then let's see what Chen Yi would achieve in half a month.
Chen Yi nodded and smiled, no matter what, he always had to go to Tianjing, the purpose was to see if he could get the April Peony Cup in the hands of the collector in Tianjing, if he couldn't get it, he could only go to Shudu to explore, both horizontal and vertical were going to Tianjing, if his ability was reached, it was not impossible to participate in this competition.
