Chapter 42: Superb Painting! Recreate the Daming Treasure Ship!
It's a ship.
A sailboat moored on the shore, like a high-rise building, is a sight to behold.
The hull is made entirely of wood, with nine masts and nine sails at full speed.
The bow of the ship is carved with the face of a mighty dragon and tiger, and the hull of the ship is painted with colorful patterns, like an abstract flying dragon, and like a fish swimming in the sea.
It's not just huge, it's aesthetically pleasing.
The other ships were insignificant in front of it, like babies in front of giants.
"In ancient China, was there such a ship? That's too big, isn't it? ”
"It's so exaggerated, I feel as if there is a dragon flying in front of me, and I can feel its domineering through the screen."
"Noah's Ark is nothing more than that, isn't it?"
"The sails are almost blocking the sky, this is a real ship?"
"If it's true, then this ship will be smaller than the displacement of the aircraft carrier!"
"But if it weren't true, who would have drawn such a realistic picture!"
……
The audience in front of the screen was amazed.
If this image appeared in modern times, people would probably only think of it as an illustration of a game or an anime.
But this is an ancient painting!
At that time, there was no concept of anime or video games.
This painting is most likely a realistic painting.
But the more they speculated, the more incredible they became.
Huaxia's shipbuilding technology reached such a height hundreds of years ago?
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it? How many people can sit on this ship! ”
The memories at the scene also sighed again and again.
What he didn't expect was that Sun Zheng actually gave a positive answer: "Thousands of people." ”
"What? Mr. Sun, do you know the history of this ship? ”
Yixing heard some clues from Sun Zheng's tone.
"Know something......" Sun Zheng nodded, pointing to the painting.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be...... Ming Dynasty treasure ship! ”
"With the addition of this iconic nine masts, it should be the largest of the legendary treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty!"
Ming Dynasty treasure ship?
Or the biggest one?
Yixing only felt inexplicably shocked, and continued to ask: "Is this treasure ship a warship of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Not exactly."
Sun Zheng shook his head.
"Treasure ships are the general name of the sailing ships used by Zheng He in the Western Ocean, and their specifications and uses are not exactly the same."
"But now, when we talk about the treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty, we generally think of the largest treasure ship with nine masts."
"That's the one in the picture!"
Everyone was stunned.
It turns out that behind Zheng He's trip to the West, there is such a story.
Prior to this, few people knew that Zheng He's ships to the West also had so much attention.
But that's even more amazing.
"Wucao, I just went to check the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, the largest one is almost 150 meters long and 60 meters wide......"
"This ...... This...... That's an exaggeration, it's ancient. ”
"In that era of backward technology, how did they build such a huge treasure ship?"
"It's incredible!"
"The most flawed thing about this ship is not how big it is! The point is that it's big and can really get into the water! ”
……
The audience was excitedly discussing.
Sun Zheng stared at this picture at the moment and praised again and again:
"I have to say that the painting skills of this painting are extremely exquisite. The details of the treasure ship are depicted very clearly, making people feel as if the ship is right in front of you, lifelike! ”
When everyone heard this, they turned their eyes again, and all of them gathered on this painting, and looked at it again.
At this time, people were surprised to find that the painting skills of this painting were indeed exquisite and sophisticated.
In other words, it was because the painting was so good that they were shocked by the treasure ship at first sight.
The artist of this painting, with his exquisite skills, perfectly recreated the treasure ship on a single piece of paper.
It can't be said to be like taking a picture.
Because sometimes the photos are blurry.
It's almost like copying!
Directly copy all the details of the treasure ship on paper!
Such exquisite painting skills shocked everyone!
And the barrage was also hotly discussed.
"Purely from the perspective of painting style, I think this painter and the painting saint are somewhat similar!"
"Who is the painting saint?"
"Wu Daozi, a person from the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, I think that this painting is much more delicate than Wu Daozi's painting. ”
"And this painting, with its use of color, is no worse than those painters who have become famous in history."
"I have always believed that Chinese painting focuses on the elaboration of artistic conception, but this painting tells us that Chinese painting can also be realistic!"
"Even this painting incorporates some techniques of the Western school, and you can see some perspective effects."
……
While everyone was discussing fiercely, there were also many people who immediately inquired about the information and wanted to see what famous painters were in the Ming Dynasty.
However, the painters who can be queried are either very far from this painting in style, or there is a significant gap between their painting skills and this painting.
Besides, there is no chance to touch the treasure ship at all.
Mr. Huang sighed with emotion: "To be able to develop such a treasure ship, I have to say that our ancients are really wise!" ”
Yixing nodded and said thoughtfully: "Yes, and even the level of this painting is first-class!" ”
Just when the two of them sighed.
A shout rang out in the house: "Look, what is this! ”
