When Chen Ran stood in front of the work table, he immediately became the focus of the audience. Everyone couldn't help holding their breath. The entire audience fell into silence for a while. No one spoke, everyone was looking forward to it.
Looking at Chen Ran who was preparing to carve jade.
However, what was a little disappointing was that Chen Ran didn't take action immediately. He just put the jade material on the work table in front of him, lowered his head, looked at this piece of jade material, which was not very good, and didn't know what he was thinking.
…
After waiting for a long time, Chen Ran did not make a move. The whole place couldn't help but become a little commotion. Chen Ran's behavior was undoubtedly very confusing. The competition only lasted for ninety minutes, and Chen Ran spent nearly twenty minutes choosing the ingredients.
, at this time, he is not in a hurry to start carving jade. When he starts carving, will there be enough time?
Faced with this situation, almost everyone present could not help but raise such questions.
Chen Ran was not in a hurry, but Guo Hai in the audience was sweating profusely for him. He wanted to stand up and shout at Chen Ran several times, but Zhu Feng stopped him and advised him not to disturb Chen Ran.
, in the end he could only sit there and sulk, wishing he could go on stage and punch Chen Ran twice...
As time passed, Chen Ran still hadn't taken action. After a period of commotion, the crowd around him gradually calmed down. Since Chen Ran was not in a hurry, why were they anxious? Therefore, they did not look at Chen Ran.
, simply focus on other people.
Although there are thirteen players on the field, the audience's focus is only on those few players. The remaining players, regardless of their movements or demeanor, although they are very serious, are only quite satisfactory and not very big.
The highlight, if I have to say there is a highlight, is that their movements are very skilled, which shows that they have several years of skill in swordsmanship.
On the field, the most eye-catching person is Lu Tianming. At this moment, Lu Tianming is in good condition. He is completely immersed in his jade carvings. As Chen Ran imagined, there are indeed ancient figures in his Lu family.
The method of carving jade has been passed down.
The ancestor of the Lu family was a palace jade carver and was naturally a first-class carver.
What is a palace jade carver? The palace jade carvers are a group of people who specialize in carving jade for the emperor’s concubines and other concubines. They are excellent carvers and have an extraordinary status. Generally speaking, the palace jade carvers represent the jade carving technology of that era to a certain extent.
It can be seen from this that since the ancestor of the Lu family could become a palace jade carver during the Qianlong period, it goes without saying that his own carving skills are also outstanding.
After hundreds of years of circulation, the Lu family's carvings have long since formed their own style. The jades carved out of their family's royal brocade carving method are neat and symmetrical in shape, with unique characteristics.
The royal style is very popular among jade carving enthusiasts.
Lu Tianming practiced the ancestral carving method for not eight or nine years as Chen Ran imagined. In fact, it only took less than four years. This was because he did not like carving jade in the early years.
Practicing the method of carving jade was undoubtedly extremely boring. At that time, not to mention that he didn't like carving jade. Even if he liked it, given his character at the time, he couldn't hold his breath. But later Lu Daosen told him something
Regarding the Lu family's housework, in order to achieve that goal, he could only force himself to practice. His talent was pretty good, and although he had only practiced for three or four years, he had already made some achievements.
Lu Tianming, who was carving the jade at this moment, felt very good. He was very satisfied with this state. Not only was he very satisfied, but Lu Daosen who saw this scene was also very satisfied, with a smile of relief on his face.
Apart from Lu Tianming, who is more attractive, the other attractive person is Li Baoping. In fact, Li Baoping's carving skills are not attractive at all, because he uses the Chef Ding Jie Niu Dao technique, which is famous in the jade carving world.
As the saying goes, Cook Ding's knife skills for solving oxen were found after three years of hard work in practicing knife skills. The result is that he solved it easily, and success is all due to hard work. The knife technique of Cook Ding's knives for solving oxen was not actually a carving technique at first, but was mostly used by cooks for cooking. However,
Later, gradually, it was also used in wood carving and stone carving, and finally it became a kind of jade carving technique.
What attracts attention is not Li Baoping's carving method, but Li Baoping's demeanor and movements. At this moment, Li Baoping's eyes are clear and firm, looking straight ahead, with a fearless momentum, holding the carving knife.
As if the right hand was carrying the weight of the whole body, it was carved on the jade material with one knife after another. Each knife was like a heavy hammer, with an extremely heavy feeling, hitting the hearts of the audience, so that the audience watched
As I watched, I couldn't help but close my eyes and didn't dare to look again.
Compared to the others, Ma Jian's movements were more casual, circling around the jade material on the table. He used the carving technique of hairspring carving.
There is a kind of incised thin line in the jade of the Han Dynasty. The line is shaped like a hairspring and as thin as hair. Later generations call it "hairspring carving".
This kind of line pattern is carved on jade with a very sharp and hard object. If the force is uneven, forked paths and "jumping knives" that are intermittent or continuous will appear. This technique appeared in the late Warring States Period, but
It was generally used in the Han Dynasty. It also appeared in the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties later, but the lines were deep and thick, without the sense of "hairspring carving" and "jumping knife". The difference between the two is the key to identifying Han or Han Dynasty today.
An important symbol of jade in the future.
The hairspring hair carving used in Ma Jian is also the latter.
In addition to these players, Ah Han is undoubtedly also very popular at this moment. Perhaps it is because the tension has been eliminated. Compared with the enterprising game, he seems to be a different person at this moment. He has entered the state.
The hands also seemed to be alive and spiritual.
Although Chen Ran hasn't started yet, just the jade carving on the spot by these few people has attracted everyone's attention, especially those tourists brought by the tour group. They all feel that the trip is worthwhile and they can see the jade carver with their own eyes.
Hand-carving jade on site is not an easy opportunity.
As time went by, half of the competition time soon passed, and more and more people gathered in the huge arena. At this moment, after all, it was the Peony Festival season in Huadu, and there were already many tourists.
, seeing the excitement here, they naturally came over one after another. As soon as they came over, they were attracted, so that more and more people gathered. However, although there were more and more people, the whole place was still peaceful.
Quiet.
Quiet is quiet, but it cannot be said to be silent, because whenever an audience focuses their attention on Chen Ran, they can't help but whisper a few words. From the initial expectation to waiting patiently... as time goes by
With the loss of sculpture, the audience's expectations and patience are also disappearing little by little. Until now, seeing that Chen Ran still hasn't done anything, they basically feel that Chen Ran gave up on his own because of his mediocre carving skills, because even at this time, Chen Ran
I started carving immediately, and there was no time.
Chen Ran naturally did not give up, but was completely immersed in his own ideas. At this moment, in his mind, a jade article, a perfect jade article, was emerging. This jade article was none other than Chen Ran.
Of course, the jade article needs to be carved, and it will still look like it after the carving is completed.
The eight-knife wave-splitting knife method is different from other carving methods. Once you start carving with the eight-knife wave-splitting knife method, you can never stop it. It must be completed in one go. When you stop, the carving is complete. If you still
If you stop carving before it is finished, then the carved jade article will basically be destroyed.
Unlike other knife techniques, no matter what kind of knife technique, you will stop in the middle, because generally speaking, after carving this side, when you want to carve the other side, you naturally need to stop, and then change the direction to carve, while the eight-knife splitting wave
The knife technique is different. The eight-knife wave-splitting knife technique is integral, which means there is no distinction between this side and that side. Once carved, it will be carved in all directions.
If it were any other sword technique, it would undoubtedly be basically impossible to achieve this, but the Eight Knife Splitting Waves technique is possible. Of course, it also needs to be coordinated with body movements, which are weird movements.
Needless to say, the perfection of such a jade article carved from all directions goes without saying.
Similarly, this is also the reason why Chen Ran blindfolded his eyes when practicing the eight-sword wave-splitting technique, because he could not stop in the middle and had to imprint the entire jade material in his mind. Of course, Chen Ran practiced at home.
At this time, naturally there is no need for the ideation process.
After perfecting the pattern in his mind over and over again, Chen Ran finally opened his slightly closed eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the football-sized jade material in front of him...
While the audience was paying attention to Chen Ran, the experts on the judges' bench were also paying attention to Chen Ran. Seeing that it was now this time and Chen Ran hadn't started carving yet, Shi Shucheng, the vice principal of the Jade Sculpture School, couldn't help but frown.
He frowned and sighed regretfully: "What a pity!"
When Old Man Wang left, he specifically told him to pay attention to Chen Ran's knife skills. He thought there was something special about the other party's carving skills. He was originally looking forward to it, but he didn't expect that the other party would give up directly.
, this could not help but make him disappointed. At the same time, it also made him have a bad impression of Chen Ran. As a jade carver, he didn't even have the courage to carve, so what achievements could he make.
It seems that he just has rich theoretical knowledge.
"It's no pity." Lu Daosen, who was paying attention to Lu Tianming's jade carvings, answered without looking back. At this moment, he was in a good mood. He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and threw it in front of Shi Shucheng. He smiled slightly and said, "Look
Look at this jade, it was carved by him, and that’s it.”
This piece of jade was clearly the Chang'e Flying to the Moon that Chen Ran had carved. Shi Shucheng took it and took a look at it. From his point of view, this Chang'e Flying to the Moon was of a certain standard, but only relatively speaking.
, such a standard in such a competition is undoubtedly still a little behind, not a little worse, but a lot worse.
After Lu Daosen waited for Shi Shucheng to take a look, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Theoretical knowledge is pretty good, but it's a pity that as a jade carver, the most important thing is knife skills. His level is really difficult to show in the finals. Look
Come on, he is quite self-aware..."
When Lu Daosen was talking, he was looking at Chen Ran with a smile, but as he was talking, he suddenly stopped and his eyes widened.
Originally, he was looking down at the Chang'e Flying to the Moon in his hand while listening to Lu Daosen's words, but Lu Daosen suddenly lost his voice, which made Shi Shucheng couldn't help but look up at Lu Daosen, and when he saw Lu Daosen's appearance, he couldn't help but feel strange.
When he followed Lu Dawson's gaze and looked at the audience, he was no better than Lu Dawson. Suddenly his eyes widened, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement...
…
This is... Spring and Autumn Dance Jade!
