Chapter 341 Wizards(1/2)
Art itself is an expression of emotion.
The attitude shown in jade carvings is also the attitude of craftsmen. They integrate their thoughts, feelings and values into them, express their feelings through things and express their aspirations through things.
Lu Zian slowly pulled the Kunwu knife and made a thin groove on the surface of the jade material.
The depth of the groove is the key. If the gold and silver wires are shallow, they will fall out. If the gold and silver wires are not embedded at the bottom, they will not be strong.
And in this process, no one can help him.
Lu Zian slowly relaxed his fingers and closed his strength. During this process, he had completely forgotten everything outside.
Each line and each shape fully utilizes changes and unity, contrast and coordination, rhythm and charm to blend points, lines and surfaces into each other, creating unexpected visual impact.
During the process of carving, his accumulated experience gradually revealed its effect.
He did not use a brush to outline it, but the thickness of the grooves he opened were very consistent, with extremely high accuracy, and the lines were full of rhythmic beauty.
The thin and even cloud pattern vortex lines gradually rotate, and the lines are connected by wider surfaces. This pattern is full of rhythm and rhythmic beauty, and looks particularly fresh and lively.
Even Master Yang had to sigh: "I didn't think he was making jade bill yesterday. When I saw him today, I felt that Master Lu used a jade knife to carve it and a paintbrush."
"Yes." The old man in the sixties standing beside him was a top master. He rarely came out to walk around. Today, he was invited by Master Yang to visit.
He originally wanted to leave at first glance, but he couldn't move his feet at first glance: "The lines are lively and smooth, but the swordsmanship is both rigid and soft, and both form and spirit. He is indeed a rare genius."
He had only vaguely heard Lu Zi'an's fame, but they actually didn't really like this kind of deliberate publicity in their circle.
It is actually difficult to win the reputation.
In the concept of the older generation, the wine is not afraid of being deep in the alley. Those who are truly skilled will become famous sooner or later, and there is no need to add anything like this.
Especially after hearing that Lu Zi's name was an unparalleled young master, they found it even more ridiculous.
Unparalleled? What a big tone!
But when he really saw Lu Zi'an, he realized that Yu Ru was really not a vernacular sentence.
The feeling that Lu Zian gives people is very contradictory.
He looks gentle and humble, but he does everything he is more sharp than the other.
Especially various publicity and promotions, people think that he is a person who is eager for quick success and instant benefits, but he can calm down and concentrate on crafting works one by one.
Maybe, it's preconceived?
Looking back, maybe someone can find some information about Lu Zi'an to take a look.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze and said goodbye to Master Yang calmly.
Although what he said just now was not loud, many people heard it because the venue was too quiet.
Even he said that Lu Zian was a genius...
Everyone's eyes at Lu Zian were a little deeper than before.
Lu Zi'an took a small brush and gently brushed the jade chips off, and his left hand slightly moved, and the jade bottle turned around half a circle in his hand.
Only the last place is the groove. As long as the finishing is perfect, there will be gold and silver wires and polishing left behind.
Ying Xuan looked at him nervously and twisted the towel tightly with both hands.
Don't go wrong, the final difficulty is...
Lu Zian took a breath, his movements were like flowing water, and the sharp blade was twisted and turns, outlining a perfect arc.
He also used geometric cloud patterns, but they were different from the previous geometric cloud patterns.
The cloud patterns under Lu Zi'an's knife have both the bone method composed of rigorous rules inherent in geometric patterns, and also seek changes in the rules.
It is like looking at people in a cup and watching the sea in a cloud. It is both innovation and the cultural accumulation of China for thousands of years.
Finally, Lu Zian stopped.
After gently rubbing his fingertips, Lu Zi closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief: "It's done."
There was a sound of exhaling around. It turned out that at the most critical moment just now, many people subconsciously held their breath.
Lu Zi'an put the jade bottle with the trough on the workbench, and the masters couldn't help but walk closer to observe carefully.
He was naturally rigorous and even took a fine ruler to measure the depth and width of the groove.
Ying Xuan was even more happy and was very busy serving tea and water: "Master, I'm finally done!"
"It's not done." Lu Zi'an simply washed his face after drinking the water. The cold water stimulated him and his soul cleared: "This is just the beginning."
"Ah?" Ying Xuan was completely stunned: "This, is this just the beginning?"
Seeing Master Yang and the others paying so much attention before, he thought it would be enough to open a good slaughter!
Lu Zian smiled and handed the towel back to him: "Well, the gold wire inlay behind is also very important. You have to use a small hammer to inlay the gold wire, and then it is the top priority. The wrong grinding."
Why are there so few gold and silver mistakes?
Because it is different from other skills, it is difficult for every level.
The road to Shu is difficult, but it is harder than climbing to the blue sky.
The difficulty of gold and silver mistakes lies in the thin walls, the difficulty of trowning, the danger of embedding gold, and the danger of grinding mistakes.
Many masters fall in the first level, while the rest fall in the second level and the third level, and there are very few who truly meet the standards in the first three levels.
After screening layer by layer, what is not successful is wasteful pieces of jade material.
If you make such jadeware, the jade materials you lose will be hollowed out even if you have a mountain of gold and silver.
Therefore, Ma Ye’s apprentices later learned their lesson and adjusted the wall of the first level to thicken the difficulty, which greatly reduced the difficulty.
In this way, the second, third and fourth levels will be solved easily.
But the result of this is that their works are physical but not spiritual. Only Ma Ye is the only one who can truly be called the master of gold and silver mistakes.
Lu Zian shook his head, waved the trivial matters in his mind, took out the gold wire and a small hammer from the toolbox and walked over.
The hammer is redeemed by the system, the same shape as his original small hammer, but it feels much better.
Pure gold wire has a certain flexibility and is suitable for inlay. Since no adhesive is used, the accuracy of the groove is extremely high.
This step is actually not difficult. As long as the groove is well opened and the base is well laid, it is still not difficult to inlay gold wire.
The only thing to pay attention to is force. If the inlay cannot be inserted, you cannot press it hard to avoid breaking the jade.
You need to use a carving knife to adjust the size of the gold wire, and then gently insert it with a small hammer.
Of course, Lu Zian's method is different from the ancient gold and silver mistakes, because the mistakes are explained in ancient texts as "wrong, gold is painted".
In other words, many gold and silver bronzes seem to be shining with gold and extremely exquisite, but many of these golds are painted on.
There is a bronze ware in the Magnesium Museum, which is said to be a gold and silver craftsmanship, but in some places, there are no groove marks under it. In fact, it cannot be considered a real gold and silver craftsmanship, because they are all painted.
In addition, there are gold coating and gold baking, which are not suitable for jade.
Lu Zian stuck all the golden wires into the groove bit by bit, and was extremely careful in every detail and could not make any mistakes.
Standing behind, Ying Xuan looked at the little hammer in his hand with fear, worried that he would accidentally hit him down with a clang. That would be really bad.
It was obviously Lu Zi'an who was doing it, but Ying Xuan was sweating all over.
When Lu Zi'an put down the little hammer, he immediately put the little hammer into the toolbox.
It's too dangerous, let it go!
Lu Zian raised the jade bottle and looked carefully. At this time, when he looked inside the jade bottle, he could already see the golden wire wrapped around the outside.
What’s rare is that even though there is no adhesive glue or anything, none of the gold wire tends to fall off.
The white jade is flawless and delicate like a beautiful woman's skin, and can be broken by blowing.
Especially the thin golden wires, the geometric cloud patterns wrapped around them form a strong color difference.
These gold colors are like the stars in the night sky, which are particularly dazzling, making the patterns more prominent and elegant, and the entire jade bottle also looks particularly elegant.
And this has not been polished.
Lu Zian stretched his fingers and smiled slightly: "Let's get here today, I'll polish it tomorrow."
"Okay!" Ying Xuan kept packing his things, thinking in his mind that if he wanted to learn this gold and silver mistake, he would be sure.
Although the masters did not say anything, their eyes were much gentler when they looked at Lu Zian.
Two people inadvertently looked at Lu Zi'an and nodded at him with a smile.
Lu Zian naturally replied with a gift, neither arrogant nor impatient.
This attitude has also gained favor from many people, and the balance in his heart naturally tilted towards Lu Zi'an.
At this time, someone was reading a press release loudly outside the Changyan Museum.
It was said that somewhere this morning, a certain master commented on Lu Zi'an's skills, saying, "A genius."
Everyone sitting quietly in front of the steps looked very different, and many of them even covered their faces directly.
Feng Xiaoxun rushed forward with a group of reporters and took photos in various photos: "What do you think?"
"What do you think of this master's comment on Lu Zian?"
