Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh that clay mold
The matter was not over yet. The next day, rows of clay statues of Hai and Zhang Wu were placed on several small grocery stalls on Guayi Street outside the north gate. They even added a body and sat there in a grand manner.
Moreover, they are molded and produced in batches, with a total of one or two hundred pieces.
There is also a white note posted on the stall, with ink pen writing on it: Selling Hai Zhang Wu at a cheap price!
People coming and going on Guiyi Street, whoever looks at them is happy.
After the fun is over, find an acquaintance to watch and have fun together.
Three days later, Hai Zhangwu sent people to spend a lot of money to buy all the clay figures. It is said that they even bought the clay molds.
The clay figurine is gone, but the story of "selling Hai Zhangwu at a low price" has been passed down for more than a hundred years, until today.
I really didn't expect that today Chen Wenzhe saw the alternative protagonist in the story, that is, the clay mold.
Can the mud you step on become a work of art?
Chen Wenzhe really saw it today. This legend really unfolded before his eyes.
Needless to say, just looking at the realistic characters that can be created with just a few clicks is not easy.
If you take a closer look, where can you admit your mistake?
At this time, Chen Wenzhe didn't care about anything else and made a direct judgment.
“Clay figurine Zhang’s works are sold cheaply by Hai Zhang Wu!”
"If the identification is correct, the achievement value will be increased by one!"
Sure enough, this is the work of Clay Figurine Zhang, and what is placed in front of some unknown old things in such a stall is really the work of Clay Figurine Zhang himself.
Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but hold it in his hand. He had already identified it and seen its production process, so it was definitely right.
Chen Wenzhe couldn't help it and directly used an independent inheritance.
The body couldn't help but sway, and all kinds of master-level skills poured into my mind, and kept tumbling in my mind.
Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but feel his feelings in detail. In just a moment, his face burst into laughter.
This time he made money, and he really gained a lot of master-level skills.
Select clay, practice clay, clay tire formula, clay sculpture material formula, knead the clay, paint it, and bake it!
All of them are master-level craftsmanship, and from the looks of it, many of these craftsmanships, in the hands of clay figurine Zhang, must be at the level of a master above a master.
It's a pity that the appearance of Hai Zhangwu was an accident in itself, and the clay figurine Zhang didn't pay too much attention to it.
It can be said that this is just a casual gadget, or a prank, not carefully crafted at all.
Therefore, what Chen Wenzhe obtained from above was master-level craftsmanship.
In other words, the skills of the gadgets and pranks that people create at random are all at the master level.
But this is really something that you are familiar with and your skills are close to the Tao.
When you reach the level of clay figurine Zhang, the things you create casually are considered masterpieces.
It's even better than the works carefully produced by Chen Wenzhe!
After thinking about this, Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but feel a little autistic.
There is a huge difference between having talent and not having talent!
He is already very talented, but compared to the clay figurine Zhang, he is far behind.
This talent makes him want to hit people, let alone if ordinary people see it.
No, ordinary people can only admire them when they see them. The gap between them is too big. There is no competition at all, only admiration.
Talent is so irritating sometimes!
Chen Wenzhe worked hard to digest what he had learned this time. Although there was a lot of content, his technical accumulation was enough and he could quickly sort out the context.
Therefore, this impulse of independent inheritance did not affect him too much.
"Little brother, little brother, are you asleep?"
Even so, he was woken up by someone.
Unable to bear it, Chen Wenzhe had been immersed in the inheritance for more than ten minutes.
Even if the time is a little short, his gains are big enough.
At this time, he looked at the clay figurines on the stall. He could tell which one was of what level, roughly what time period it was made, and even who made it.
Most of Clay Figurine Zhang's apprentices are his descendants. Those who are older and have better skills are generally members of the Zhang family.
Of course, clay sculpture has been passed down very early. As early as 5,000 years ago, there were colorful clay figurines handed down from generation to generation.
Although Clay Figurine Zhang is not the creator of the world, his clay figurine making skills must have reached the highest peak in modern times.
Silently selecting a few clay figures, paying the money, Chen Wenzhe walked forward again.
Now, he has no interest in shopping anymore, and all he can think about is how to choose clay, practice clay, and keep making clay figures!
Porcelain sculpture requires this skill so much.
Especially the artificial statues made of Dehua white porcelain, combined with this clay figurine making technology, are not only faster to make, but also better.
At the very least, he has added a lot of options for choosing porcelain clay.
It can be said that the quality of the porcelain he makes in the future should be very special.
It's so good, so delicate, and so hard!
Anyway, he can make tire mud with whatever characteristics he wants, right?
There is also the skill of making clay figures. All you need to do is sit across from the person and talk, hold the clay in your hands, and do it in an instant without making a move.
The faces are not only similar in appearance and spirit, but also lifelike, with beards and eyebrows about to move, and the viewer is amazed.
This is true, and the clay figurines made in this way are still vivid in color, without cracking or fading, after a hundred years.
This is a unique skill, and a unique skill must be a craft beyond that of a master.
Not in the mood for shopping, Chen Wenzhe walked a few steps quickly and returned directly to Yi Nian Tang.
He hid in Li Jinli's small office space and digested this harvest alone.
Especially the process of selecting and practicing clay, he studied it extremely seriously.
It turns out that Clay Figurine Zhang’s clay is very particular.
Not all mud can be used as raw material to create clay figurines. You should choose reddish soil that is less than one meter deep in river siltation areas.
This kind of soil has low sand content and is extremely sticky.
The clay is dried in the sun, impurities are screened out, mixed into a slurry and allowed to settle for 24 hours. After adding cotton wool, it is beaten for five or six hours, and then stored in a cellar with a specific temperature and humidity to wait for three years.
This is the bottom line, any good thing is not easy to come by.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe did not intend to completely inherit Zhang’s craftsmanship, because his children and grandchildren have passed it on very well.
And now the scope of inheritance has been expanded. Even if he wants to learn, he seems to have a way to learn it when he goes to Jincheng.
Therefore, he only needs to learn from its technology.
Besides, the techniques he has learned now are truly secrets that cannot be taught.
With good clay, you also need good techniques, so the most important thing is shaping.
No matter what you do, shaping is an extremely important process.
The production and shaping of clay figures all rely on manual skills, controlling the strength of the fingers to pinch out the shape, and then using simple tools to carve out the details.
Just gaining experience in controlling your fingers means that this independent inheritance will not be in vain.
