406. The ultimate of the Tao is specialization
Although Qing Ning was surprised, she didn't think much about it, seeing that she was wearing a casual suit, red, in fact, the same material and style as her black, she likes bright things, but for Xu Le, she dressed in that color, forget it at night, she hurriedly washed her face, swallowed a few swallows, and then put on black clothes, called Yingzi and Qingling, and the second daughter woke up when she heard the phone ringing just now!
The three of them came over in less than two minutes, Ah Zhong opened the door and nodded at Qingning!
Everyone saw Qing Ning coming over, except for Xu Le, who stood up, Peach Blossom Ke shouted respectfully at Qing Ning, "Qing Ge", and removed the main word, which showed respect and didn't let others know what it meant, otherwise it would be bad for the pavilion master to be heard!
The two masters saluted respectfully and respectfully to Qing Ning, "Good donor"! Qingning and everyone saluted for the eleventh day, and the freshman shouted at Qingning, "Hello sister-in-law"!
Qing Ning's face turned red again, and after glancing at Xu Le, Xu Le was expressionless as if he hadn't heard it, and rolled his eyes!
'Hehe', Xiaobai said, "Hehehe", 'You learn from me'!
"We're talking about thangkas, listen," Xu Le said to them, and everyone sat down!
"From tomorrow onwards, you must learn the Tibetan dialect, some of the contents of the Tibetan secret are still good, I may have to promote some things later, of course, there are some messy things, don't listen to or believe them, if anyone dares to cultivate those messy things for me, I will abolish him first", Qing Ning's face was a little red, she had been to the pagoda temple, she saw some things, she knew what Xu Le said, Yingzi also saw it, Qingling was a little puzzled and wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask, she stared at the new students!
The freshman was a little hairy by her, lowered his head, Qing Ling smiled, and suddenly heard Xu Le say, "Be serious", Qing Ling stuck out his tongue at Xu Le, "Yes, brother-in-law"!
Xu Leqi pulled out Guan Mu suddenly, "Is it wrong for him to call his sister-in-law and my brother-in-law?"
Xu Le took a deep breath, looked at Qing Ning coldly and said to himself, "I really asked you to come over and listen carefully, can we be serious", Xu Le was a little helpless, "Freshman, let me tell you, you have taken the rhythm crookedly, if you dare to do this again, don't come over!"
The freshman nodded with a red face, Xu Le said to Qingning, "What your sister-in-law said, can you remember it?" Qing Ning suddenly heard Xu Le's words, her eyebrows fluttered, and her heart jumped straight up, this is what Xu Le said himself!
"Don't be so serious, we're studying, okay, it's all nonsense", Xu Le was a little angry, "If this happens again, no one will call it in the future"! Qing Ning glared at Qing Ling, Qing Ling stopped talking!
"Master, remember that disciple of mine, right?"
"Remember"!
"He has not cultivated, so why is there a method of practicing qi?" As soon as Xu Le opened his mouth, everyone was stunned, there was still such a thing, a person who didn't cultivate could practice qi? Everyone jumped right in!
"Venerable this question is very good, I will talk to you today", Master Cuo Leng said in non-standard Mandarin, first of all, he introduced thangka as the most representative kind of sectarian art in Tibetan culture.
Although living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with harsh natural conditions and extreme material scarcity for a long time, the scenery of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is far from monotonous: the blue sky, the colorful grasslands, the hillsides that change color with the four seasons, etc., the rich and vivid scenery has given birth to the Tibetan people's incomparable love for bright colors, and at the same time, it has also given the colors a certain symbolic sustenance.
The style of Thangka is divided into many places such as Houzang, Kang District, Amdo, Zhigong, and Riguang City, but its common characteristics are: the picture is graceful and luxurious, the color is magnificent, the image is standardized and rigorous, and the accessories are rich and diverse; The brushwork is accurate and delicate, the technique is superb and superb, and the layout is distinct. The painting and color of the thangka have extremely strict requirements, and the shape strictly follows the specifications of the "Statue Measurement Sutra". As a skilled Tibetan painter, you must be proficient in the requirements of various statue measurements, the symbolic attributes of color, and understand the aesthetic and psychological habits of your own people. Different images have strict rules for measurement and color, and it is impossible to make a thangka without being familiar with it.
Everyone nodded frequently when they listened, except for Qingling, the people here have never been there, everyone else has been to a large area of Tibetan soil, of course, Qingning they can only go to the border area!
Since the 15th century, after the two major branches of thangka, the Mianla school and the Qingzi school, absorbed the Han art of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the image and color of the thangka has been readjusted to show the phenomenon of visual intuition and the sinicization of the clothes of the main deity, and the image of the green landscape imitating the Han land has appeared in the background. Han landscape painting has long handled this relationship seamlessly, but the Tibetan painters still according to their own national habits, while absorbing the nourishment of Han art, did not give up the complexity of the depiction of objects, and injected their own national color concepts on the basis of the color relationship between Han and China.
Although the lines in the thangka are not as varied and carry too many cultural meanings as the line drawing in the mainland of China, they should also reflect the sense of strength and smoothness, and the level of line drawing skills is also an important criterion for evaluating the painting level of thangka painters. Because there are many complex ritual utensils, Yingluo and other costumes on the Thangka Buddha statue, and the background is also covered with various patterns, flowers, mountain stones, etc., so the thangka lines cannot be as exquisite or neat as the white painting in the interior of China, or flexible and firm, or slender and complex, or ancient and simple linear beauty, too many changes will inevitably affect the overall visual imprint, so the linear advantages and disadvantages in the thangka are reflected in the fine and stable, especially the fineness of the patterns on the clothing is even admired by many Han painters who are proficient in this way.
In Tibet, Buddha statues cannot be put down, and it is never allowed to lay thangkas flat on the ground or on the table like Han painters, otherwise it will be regarded as a great disrespect to the lord, and the painter must complete the painting on the canvas or against the wall or with a support, which also increases the difficulty of painting the thangka.
In Buddhist art, white and gold symbolize the purity and holy light of the Buddha's and Bodhisattva's hearts, and because the white and golden colors of the sun are very similar to their dazzling degree, it seems that the high-brightness color as a symbol of light and divine color has become a boundless human consensus in the recognition of the original color. "Buddha's light shines" is to stimulate human visual senses with the abundance of white light, so that the sensing information of brightness is transformed into a symbolic desire for light. This is consistent with the symbolic choice of white and gold for light and wisdom in the Christian religion. Because gold is brighter than yellow, and the hue is stable and shiny, gold has become the color of the Buddha's Dharma body in Buddhist painting and sculpture. In addition to the precious value of gold, the people in the Tibetan soil area are very fond of using gold as decoration, because the air in the Tibetan plateau area is thin and the oxygen content is low, and the gold is not easy to oxidize and change color.
The two masters connected with each other to introduce the overall thangka to everyone, including color pigments and stone ores, etc., Xu Le knew but deepened again, although these two are not specialized thangka masters, but they have seen a lot, they participate in the construction of the mandala!
"Here, why the Venerable One said that this situation has arisen is the application of norms, and an attitude, an attitude of total dedication, because there is a strict order in making thangkas, and these orders are also the order of our cultivation to a certain extent."
Everyone listened to the two of them, and the thangka painters always faced each thangka with a pious and quiet attitude and a cautious attitude since they were apprentices. In Tibetan traditions, Buddhist painting is regarded as extremely sacred, and the painter must be a Buddhist disciple, a monk, or even a Zhugu who is extremely committed to Buddhism. For these pious "divine body" remodelers, each painting is the implementation of sacred and solemn rituals, the painter must bring the awe and love of the Buddha into the work, the whole "remodeling" process is as careful and joyful as the process of giving birth to life, even if the painted work is hidden in the stupa or secret room and difficult to show, it will not weaken the painter's respectful and meticulous "remodeling" process.
For the pious thangka painters, time is extravagant and insignificant, and the completion time of the "remodeling" of the Buddha statue is not determined by oneself, but by the gods, and there must be no sloppiness and impatience. The identity of gods and images is more solid and typical in the traditional beliefs of the Tibetan people than in other ethnic groups. The spirituality and supreme mana of the Buddha are in the same place as the "image", which is the substitute of the Buddha, with the "identity" corresponding to the original, and the "representative body" of the Dharmakaya. This psychological identity drives Tibetan painters to be filled with joy and joy when they "reshape" the Buddha's body, and to do their best to inject their souls into their works at the wonderful moment of remodeling.
"So, the reason why this situation is happening lies in the four words 'paint with heart'"! The two masters finally summed up a sentence, and after everyone listened, they were immersed in it one by one, and they felt the same way!
Everyone stood up one after another and saluted the two masters!
"Qingling, how is it?" Xu Le looked at Huo Qingling and said, "Brother-in-law, I understand", Qingling stuck out her tongue as soon as she finished speaking, "Squad leader, I understand", and then she also looked at the freshman smiling, it's pretty good-looking, this let show!
'Hahahaha', Xiaobai's smile is extremely bright, 'It's over, Xu Le, you're finished'!
"Four words 'paint with heart', two words 'heart', and one word 'heart'"! Xu Le stood up, looked at the freshman and said, "Freshman, how much do you understand now?"
The freshman took out a balloon from his pocket, and then blew it up, Qing Ling looked at him blowing a white balloon and blushed, thinking what it was, how about this man, only to know that it was a balloon after a closer look, Xiaobai looked at Qing Ling and shook his head!
Then the freshman blew it up and tied a buckle, took out a thin rope and tied it, and hung it on the lampshade above his head.
This handsome show can actually do magic?
The freshman looked at the balloon that was slightly twenty centimeters high one meter in front of his head, slowly closed his eyes, the balloon slowly stopped swinging, Xu Le slowly felt the breath of the new life, from the bottom chakra circle along the Du pulse upwards, directly reached the seventh round, and then at the center of the eyebrows like a sharp sword, a faint breath shot out directly, snapped, the balloon exploded!
Qing Ling applauded, and then everyone turned their heads to look at her, Qing Ling looked at everyone as if she was looking at a fool, her eyes were a little foggy, what do you mean, isn't it good-looking?
Xiaobai shook his head, "You hurry up and give her a promotion, it's not too embarrassing, this skin and flesh realm is really not good!"
Xu Le looked at Qingling, "Is it fun"?
Qing Ling is a little embarrassed, now that he knows that he has made a fool of himself, this should not be magic!
"I think it was a mistake for you to choose you to sentry before, and I wonder if you gave me the wrong address?" Xu Le smiled and said, "No, I can't be mistaken?" Qingling is still a little hard-mouthed, but it doesn't seem to be a guarantee, big black sky!
"Do you understand"? Qing Ning was like opening a window, and nodded, "Understood"!
"Okay, it's almost five o'clock, start learning Tibetan dialect today, does Yingzi have any opinions?" Xu Le said to Yingzi, Yingzi shook his head, and nodded very firmly!
Ah Zhong looked at Yingzi and pointed at himself, Yingzi smiled, Xu Le knew that Ah Zhong understood and could teach her!
"Class leader, can I have one-on-one training with new students?" Qing Ling asked at Xu Le, the freshman blushed, and Qing Ning wondered, why wasn't this like this when this kid called me sister-in-law, isn't this the previous version of Xu Le? It's not his brother!
"Let's figure out the basic pinyin and words first, and then talk about the rest, if I can't pass the assessment, you don't need one-on-one strengthening training, or eat a big pot of rice, of course, if you meet the requirements within a day, I can consider it", Xu Le left him a living mouth, "Okay, a word is a certainty"! Qing Ling jumped up, Xu Le knew that Qing Ling had to be strengthened, otherwise in charge of such a big mess, it would be too low and something would happen, and then said to Qing Ning, don't forget to call the third aunt when the time comes, Qing Ning nodded!
"This is just a beginner class, there are still many exercises in the real Tibetan secrets, I hope you all master them as soon as possible!"
Xu Le said to the two masters of Peach Blossom Ke and Cuoleng, go back together tomorrow, and see where they go today!
The two masters said that they were going to the White Temple and Yonggong to worship, Xu Le understood, and nodded!
