"Grandpa, come and see! Lin Ziqi is starting a live broadcast!"
In a villa in Shanghai, Zhou Weiwei ran into the study with a face full of surprise. She raised her phone and shouted excitedly.
At this moment.
It had been more than ten minutes since Lin Ziqi started the livestream at Dou Yin.
If Zhou Weiwei hadn't stayed up late last night playing with her phone and overslept, she wouldn't have missed the start of the live broadcast.
"Live broadcast? What is that thing?"
Zhou Xianglin took off his presbyopic glasses and asked with a frown,""Also, don't you have to go to school today? It's already so late, why are you still at home?”
Zhou Weiwei's mouth twitched.""It's Saturday today, there's no school…"
"Aiya, that's not the main point. The main point is that the master you were optimistic about yesterday is currently broadcasting his carving! You'll know when you see it!"
Zhou Weiwei handed the phone to Zhou Xianglin.
Ever since he watched Lin Ziqi's video last night, Old Master Jiang had been very appreciative of Jiang Yuan and highly praised him.
Now that he could watch the sculpture through the live broadcast, he had great expectations.
"This…this…this is impossible!”
When Zhou Xianglin saw Jiang Yuan's image on the screen, he was so shocked that his entire body trembled.
"What's wrong, Grandpa? Are you surprised by his speed?" Zhou Weiwei asked.”
"If it was just speed, I wouldn't be like this!”
Zhou Xianglin took a deep breath and said slowly,""What he's carving now is a complete three-dimensional work!”
"That's why we need to use the 'round carving' technique.”
"But! What shocked me the most was that he actually knew how to carve!”
"His hand speed and accuracy are both controlled in a subtle manner. It's simply countless times better than mine!”
Zhou Xianglin stared at the phone screen, completely convinced by Jiang Yuan's actions.
Wood carving was a type of sculpture and was known as folk art.
It was divided into three categories: three-dimensional round carving, root carving, and embossed carving.
And Zhou Xianglin's " Clear Knife Carving " could be said to be the most domineering carving technique in wood carving!
Its full name was-Clear Blade Subtle Splitting Eagle!
This meant that after the rough carving was done, the finishing was done by polishing it with a knife.
Instead of using sandpaper or other grinding tools to polish it.
After the clear knife was carved, the surface of the work would show a block carving shape, but the overall tennis ball was still very smooth.
In fact, it was made up of small flat surfaces one after another, which made the whole work more realistic!
However, the difficulty of this technique lay in the fact that the sculptor's mastery of the knife and technique had to reach an extremely high level!
Otherwise, if he was careless during the process of repairing the light, the effect of the entire work would be greatly affected, or even destroyed!
The risk factor was extremely high!
The time required was even longer!
The requirements for handling each key point were very high, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could handle!
This was definitely the best carving technique. Once the work was formed, it would definitely be a feast for the eyes!
Zhou Xianglin asked himself.
Even if it was him, if he wanted to use the Qing knife to polish it, even if it was only a fist-sized work, it would take him more than half a day.
But Jiang Yuan.
He first used a round carving to form it, then used a clear knife to cut it slightly. In total, it only took less than ten minutes!
"Too fast, really too fast!"
"His current craftsmanship has far surpassed the masters in the country…No! It had already surpassed the world's standards!”
Zhou Xianglin muttered to himself, his face filled with shock.
This scene.
It was as if he was witnessing a miracle!
Under Zhou Xianglin's gaze, it was as if a superstar in the sculpting world was slowly rising!
Brilliant light!
It shone in all directions!
……
Two hours later.
Jiang Yuan's sculpture was also nearing its end.
At this moment, there were twelve wooden carvings placed in front of him.
Zi Shu, Chou Niu, Yin Hu, Mao Tu, Chen Long, Si She, Wu Ma, Wei Yang, Ennea Monkey, You Chicken, Xu Dog, Hai Zhu!
Twelve zodiac animals!
It was extremely meaningful to folk culture!
Every zodiac had a rich legend and had developed into the image philosophy of national culture!
"Little Yuan, you're amazing! These works were so vivid that they could be treated as family heirlooms!”
Lin Ziqi covered her red lips lightly, and her exquisite face was filled with admiration.
"Reveal the Easter egg hidden on the wooden carving!”
Jiang Yuan stretched his muscles and let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and said,"I've been busy for so long. Wouldn't it be a pity if no one finds out?”
"Alright!"
Lin Ziqi smiled and took down the camera. She zoomed in and aimed the camera at the wood carvings.
From the twelve wood carvings.
From left to right.
From rat to pig,
There were seven small words carved on each piece.
It was a classic poem!
The river will not dry up if rats drink it,
it's hard to meet the cow girl all year round.
Bare-handed, I bound a fierce tiger on the southern mountain,
in the middle of the moon I take the rabbit, the sky is long.
The black dragon has pearls and never sleeps,
painting a snake with superfluous feet is just a burden.
When has an old horse grown horns? -
the sheep in the sheep's den touched the vassal, only to sneeze in anger.
Don't laugh at the Chu man's crown of a bathing monkey,
I wish the rooster would come from the old forest hill in vain.
In the market of Peizhong, the dog butcher of Wuyang,
Pingjin herds pigs on the east side of the sea.
