688. Promote good karma layer by layer

It's really Wan Changsheng who is so annoying: "The Commentary on the Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra also says, 'Repeatedly, it is all the light, turning into a thousand leaves of golden treasure, from the tongue out of this thousand leaves of golden treasure, the light shines through, like the beginning of the sun', so on the flame pattern of the backlight of the entire Buddha statue in this cave, there should be a small Buddha sitting on the lotus platform, those who want to steal the Buddha statue, it is impossible to break this two-meter-high Buddha statue, only to smash the small Buddha on the backlight flame pattern, this should be this thing......"

It's still the same sentence, if you do a good job of clay sculpture, you don't necessarily study the Buddha statue, and if you do a good job of the Buddha statue, you don't know the Buddhist scriptures, and you are so familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, you are all abbots, what kind of mud is pinched.

Wan Changsheng, a compound talent, is too familiar with these things.

Guanyin Temple does not have such a rich artistic treasure, but it has been passed down for thousands of years without breaking the file, the temple has been destroyed by war several times, but it has never been abandoned like this for hundreds of years unattended, and has been silently guarded by thousands of families.

So there are still some family backgrounds.

Especially when I met Wan Changsheng, a guy who had practiced his craft in the temple market for many years.

It's been itchy for a long time, it's been a long time since I've carved mud like this, dazzling techniques!

The characteristics of that set of Florentine sculpture knives lie in the fineness, six double-ended carving knives, twelve kinds of knife edge effects, and the thick branches and big leaves of two or three domestic bamboo board knives are easily compared, and Wan Changsheng has been handy in the past two years.

One of the most familiar small leaf knives is superb.

And he is a clay sculpture, there is a stone carving here, between the two, the clay sculpture must be much more exquisite and delicate, the most important thing is that he is familiar with it.

Many ordinary people think that the Buddha statue sits on the lotus platform, and the lotus petals are holding a petal upward, in fact, as long as you squat on the pond side of the stele forest in the back mountain to see, you will know the shape of the lotus pond in spring, the lotus petals have to go down, in order to bring out the lotus canopy in the middle, and the petals have just become the base of the whole shape, and even the level of petal stacking has special characteristics.

The biological characteristics Wan Changsheng doesn't understand, but the shape is familiar with the chest.

The flame phosgene was more full of vigor and vitality, and finally under the breath and concentration of this group of people stretching their necks and staring wide-eyed, they completed the small Buddha in their hands, and the expert of Buddha sculpture happily took it, and couldn't put it down and couldn't believe it: "This, this flame light is very smooth, very smooth, but it is a bit of the modeling characteristics of the Northern Wei Dynasty." ”

Wan Changsheng admitted: "Yes, my clay sculpture style does not exactly match here, but it can be used as a reference, you are doing cultural relics research, I am doing art carving, confirm each other." ”

The expert complained without distraction: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Wan Changsheng hehehe: "How advanced is here, there are so many techniques that I have never seen before, I have to figure it out every day when I pass by here, such as this ......"

He pointed to a cave next to him, which is a mural, but the characteristics of this mural are different, the Bodhisattva in the center is a combination of murals and bas-reliefs, that is, the Bodhisattva shape is slightly chiseled out with a chisel, and in the surrounding murals, it looks as if the flying sky is about to fly out of the wall!

The boundary between the real and the unreal is blurred to the greatest extent.

In today's parlance, it is the boundary between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, which is combined from the plane to the three-dimensional.

So there are great people in every era.

Maybe just an inconspicuous craftsman squatting in this Mogao Grottoes could create such an art form without a teacher thousands of years ago.

Wan Changsheng is really on a pilgrimage in his heart: "I am actually studying sculpture now, and I have been painting murals and making clay sculptures since I was a child, but I have never thought of combining the two in this way, but the wall full of murals can be used to develop a three-dimensional sense with bas-relief, blurring the relationship between the two, admiration!" ”

This makes the leaders of the institute and the scenic spot proud: "So live to learn all the time, come back more and communicate more!" ”

The expert was serious: "What is the significance of this little bit?" ”

Yes, for the Mogao Grottoes, hundreds of cave murals, statues, tens of thousands of square meters of paintings, hundreds of thousands of Buddha statues, your focus is actually such an inconspicuous little relief?

Wan Changsheng also explained seriously: "I am from Shuchuan, our relief bricks in Shuchuan are actually relatively famous, but in fact, if you look at it in connection with the history of world art, compared to ancient Greek classicism, ancient China actually has no relief in the real sense, scattered perspective, symbolization, mountains, rocks and trees are all projections of characters and plots, subjective modeling, and the overall layout is more like a collage, this characteristic can be seen in various ancient tomb carved bricks, as well as the bed board carvings of large households. In the same way that Chinese painting focuses on the vividness of qi and rhyme as the first goal, we seek infinite space for expansion in the law and established language, while the natural law and rational and objective reality are abandoned. ”

A large group of people around were stunned when they heard this!

Most of them are a bit like listening to heavenly books, the kind of floating that is unconscious.

I understand every word, but why is it a little dizzy when combined?

If Jia Huanhuan is here, he will definitely shout: "Brother Changsheng!" You're fooling people again. ”

At least Du Wen, the only one who was still here, tried her best to hold back her laughter.

She knows the trick too.

That's right, this is exactly the same as the words of the Vermilion Bird and the Green Dragon that Wan Changsheng carved in front of the Guanyin Temple to fool tourists, but in the past, it used to use classical Chinese and dangerous auspicious signs, but now it has been replaced by a tall design and scientific research term.

Just like he joked about Chen Dawei, this is a necessary foundation for the design profession, and a five-point work can be as good as a nine-point work!

The expert also nodded solemnly: "This idea, we have never thought about it, the relief bricks you said should be a little different compared to this." ”

Wan Changsheng smiled: "You are studying cultural relics, we look at the artistic differences, come, you look at the shoulder line of this Bodhisattva, gently cut off and polished with a chisel, this is the characteristics of ancient Greek classical relief, you can see the sense of air, figures, animals, regardless of the side, according to the natural situation on the stone surface gradually highlighted, and then look at this bun, he put the palm in front of him, the contrast is not?" This creates the impression of the real and the virtual, from the delicate knuckles of the palms, even if it is only a little relief, to the neck, and finally the hair fades in turn, and finally slowly melts into the stone...... Do you understand how it feels? The stone behind it is treated as transparent air from the beginning, and the feeling of this Buddha statue slowly coming out of the air is called air feeling! ”

With so many experts present, dealing with these sculptures every day, they may have looked at them too familiarly, and they didn't expect to be able to observe this very inconspicuous relief from this angle.

Just like some specially designed patterns, as long as you are guided to observe from a special angle, you will see a completely different three-dimensional world.

Exclamations came from the mouths of these people involuntarily.

Even Du Wen looked at this Buddha statue intently.

Yes, the same thing, from another angle, the ordinary becomes beautiful, even mysterious and distant.

The expert was already busy giving the small Buddha to the assistant next to him, took out the gloves from his pocket and put them on, gently touched the relief edge, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" It's smooth and detailed, you mean ......"

There was already some fanatical excitement in his eyes.

Wan Changsheng hated the stall hand: "I don't know, I didn't say, I don't understand, I just evaluate this form of relief from an artistic point of view, now called thin meat sculpture, is a typical ancient Greek classical relief, why does it appear here, maybe it is the whimsical personal behavior of a certain painter and carver, right?" ”

The expert just wants to kick this guy down the mountain with one kick: "Subject! This is a very important subject! There is also a grotto near our province, where the flying sculptures of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have this style, which is definitely not accidental! ”

Wan Changsheng immediately: "Where?" I'm going to check ......."

The executive leaders wanted to kick the expert!

Immediately surrounded him, and almost covered the nerd expert's mouth: "Subject! Needless to say, Qin Gong immediately applied for the project, on the possibility of ancient Greek relief techniques being transmitted from the Western Regions to enter the country, have you written down what Xiao Wan said just now, the one who took the mobile phone camera just now, is the recording clear......

Another clearer key point is here: "Strong alliance, this is indeed a new topic, the strong alliance between the Academy of Art and the Institute of Cultural Relics, it is necessary for us to seek in-depth cooperation and discussion in this regard, Shuchuan Academy of Fine Arts seems to have a deep accumulation in this regard, we should carry out this work." ”

Wan Changsheng hurriedly tightened his pockets with satisfaction: "When I return to the Academy of Fine Arts, I will officially send a letter to set up a research project ......."

Glancing at Du Wen, the agent took it knowingly: "The association, the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Art Research Association, can be registered and established in the civil affairs department as a non-governmental research organization, but it can provide comprehensive research topics, and the Academy of Fine Arts and art institutions can provide funding." ”

Compared with the wealthy palace museum, although there are many tourists and fees for this far-away scenic spot and research institute, it must not be compared with the palace, let alone embezzle half of the funds casually, and the cost of repair and protection is greater, so for this kind of non-governmental organization that can be sponsored, I can't help but applaud immediately!

Wan Changsheng was finally satisfied to help Shumei form a good relationship here.

It can really give Shumei a high-standard partner status.

This is the successful report card that he can hand over to Zhao Leilei this winter vacation.

In contrast, Wan Changsheng prefers to see the big order of the art community in West Asia as a report card for the members of the Great Art Society.

Du Wen also flew back to Pingjing with such a satisfied mood, preparing to concoct the cooperative relationship between Pingjing Drama Academy, the Palace Museum and Shumei.

Even if she is a Qingmei student, but at this time, helping Wan Changsheng to push the status of Shumei's rivers and lakes will make Da Mei Society the biggest beneficiary.

It was finally embodied in Wan Changsheng.
