"Did you carve this?" Mr. Xing couldn't help but asked in surprise after taking the thing in Young Master Tang's hand and looking at it carefully.
The thing is not big, but slightly larger than a finger. It is an animal sculpture and looks like a furry ball.
When it comes to carving, the smaller the thing, the harder it is to carve. However, there are some who specialize in carving small objects, called micro carvings. The most awesome micro carvings can even draw on a grain of rice...
"Well, I carved this. The prototype is a puppy I raise at home." Young Master Tang realized that he carved this thing based on the shape of a fur ball...
"Well, it's not bad. Looking at this sword technique, it does look like what's recorded in "Zigang Jiu Ke". Boy, are you really self-taught? How long has it been?" Mr. Xing couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I taught myself. It didn't take long, just over a week." Young Master Tang nodded, but there was still something he didn't say out loud in his mind. He traveled through time and space and returned to hundreds of years ago. He could see that
How Lu Zigang carved...
"Genius, genius, Mr. Tang is not very reliable on weekdays. He always comes here to do this and do that. I didn't expect that a genius was brought to me today." Mr. Xing murmured.
It took more than a week of self-study to reach this point, which is definitely a genius...
Shi Yan took the small jade-carved fur ball from Mr.
At this point, I have been learning how to carve since I was seven years old, and it has been more than 20 years now. It seems that, little junior brother, you can surpass me in less than a year."
"Where is this? I just don't understand and I'm just wondering." Young Master Tang said while wiping his cold sweat.
You must know that Shi Yan is considered a genius in sculpture. He was promoted to master level when he was only in his thirties, but such a genius said in front of him that he would surpass him in less than a year...
Did you go too far in your pretense? Did it hurt your senior brother’s self-confidence?
"Just thinking about it, hey, you can figure it out to this point just by thinking about it, it's not simple, it's not simple." Mr. Xing chuckled.
At this time, Young Master Tang didn't know what to say. When he answered, he seemed a little arrogant. It seemed inappropriate not to answer. He could only scratch his head with his hand and laugh a few times...
"Shi Yan, take your junior brother here to take a good look and explain to him some basic knowledge and the use of some of the machines here. I saw that he used a certain technique to carve this thing. You can teach him more.
Teach him some basic things." Mr. Xing said.
"Yes, Master. Junior brother, come with me. This is the workshop of Master and I. There are a lot of equipment in it, which are used to process jade. I have to say that technology is really good now. Those in the past..."
At that moment, Shi Yan took Young Master Tang around the workshop, which was an eye-opener for Young Master Tang. Previously, Young Master Tang thought that carving was just finding a knife and a piece of jade, and carving what he wanted.
Shape, but after Shi Yan introduced it, I realized that carving was far from being as simple as I thought...
Even if the consciousness travels through time and space and goes back hundreds of years ago to see how Lu Zigang carved, it does not mean that Young Master Tang has changed the true meaning and steps of carving...
In particular, carving techniques have continuously developed over hundreds of years, and with the emergence of modern technology, many specialized machines have greatly facilitated the engraver's work, such as cutting, material selection, etc.
Young Master Tang stayed here for nearly a day, eating lunch and dinner here, like a sponge, constantly absorbing the surrounding water...
After a day, Young Master Tang finally learned a lot of basic knowledge about carving. These are things that "Zigang Nine Carvings" cannot bring to him, and they are not something that he can learn by traveling hundreds of years ago. He must
You need someone to teach you step by step...
And some things have just appeared in modern times. Even if Lu Zigang is resurrected, he will probably be numb when facing these machines, not to mention Young Master Tang...
He raised his head and looked out the window. The sky had darkened. Young Master Tang said to Shi Yan, "Thank you, senior brother, for your guidance."
"Haha, why are you so polite? We are all senior brothers. When I first started, my senior brother and second senior brother were still there, and they were the ones who taught me." Shi Yan said with a smile.
"Where are the senior brother and second senior brother now?" Young Master Tang asked.
"We have become a master. We are not Master's disciples now. So when our skills reach a certain level and are recognized by Master, it means that we can become a master. From then on, we can set up our own business. But once we are a master, we will be a master for life. When they have time, they
I will still come back to see Master." Shi Yan sighed.
"I have heard about Yibo several times. What is the difference between this Yibo disciple and us?" Young Master Tang asked.
"Disciples of Yibo are just like the master's sons. After a hundred years, some of the things left by the master will be inherited by Yibo disciples. Just like the young master in martial arts novels, he will inherit the position of master in the future, so
There can only be one disciple of Yibo." After speaking, Shi Yan glanced at Young Master Tang...
Young Master Tang nodded when he heard this. Seeing the way Shi Yan looked at him, he naturally understood that if he hadn't appeared, and both the first and second senior brothers had established their own schools, the mantle of disciple would definitely belong to the third senior brother.
And now that he has appeared and behaved so ostentatiously, I am afraid that the third senior brother is now a little wary of himself...
"Haha, that's it. Fortunately, I don't have this ambition. Learning carving is just my hobby. Today I saw you and Master fighting for the carving rights of the glass imperial green jade I brought. Senior brother helped me so much today.
You have taught me so many things, and even junior fellow apprentices must be sensible, and I will bring surprises to senior fellow apprentices tomorrow." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
In the previous paragraph, Mr. Tang made it very clear that this is not his ambition, so Third Senior Brother, you should not worry about me competing with you for the status of disciple, and then in the name of teaching knowledge, I will bring him tomorrow
Surprise, the third senior brother must also know what he means...
Sure enough, after listening to what Mr. Tang said, Shi Yan felt all the suffocation in his chest. Especially when he heard that there was a surprise later, he was even more overjoyed...
Although he is a little worried about his unstable status, in essence, he is still a sculptor, a master sculptor with an infinite pursuit of the best materials...
"Thank you so much, junior brother."
Young Master Tang mentioned glass-type imperial green jade before, and then talked about surprise. Naturally, he could vaguely guess what Young Master Tang said was the surprise. Materials of this level, glass-type imperial green, were too difficult to find. He must be able to bring glass tomorrow.
You can also plant tall green or light green...
"Third senior brother is too polite. It's getting late now. I'll say hello to the master and then go back." Young Master Tang said.
"Okay, okay, you go ahead, I still have some work to do." Shi Yan nodded.
"Well, see you tomorrow." Young Master Tang waved his hand towards Shi Yan.
"Well, see you tomorrow."
Young Master Tang walked downstairs. At this time, the two waiters were no longer there. Only Mr. Xing was sitting on the counter, concentrating on what he was writing.
"Master, I'm going back." Young Master Tang said softly.
"Well, wait a minute, I will finish copying "Zigang Nine Inscriptions" soon. Originally, you should take it back. Today, Old Tang said that you have ambitions to build a museum. This thing was written by senior Lu Zigang himself, so it can be regarded as a masterpiece.
It's an antique. Let's put it in a museum for future generations to admire." Mr. Xing said.
"Master, you just put it here before you finish reading it. You can also talk about the copying work and let me help you." Tang Dashao said.
Although Mr. Xing is a few years younger than Mr. Tang, he is still over seventy years old, and he is his master. He can just let himself do such small things for him. Why do he have to do it himself?
"Haha, being able to see the legacy of Senior Lu Zigang is already a benefit you have brought to me, and this thing cannot be passed on to others. I copied this "Zigang Nine Carvings" and gained a new understanding of carving.
You know, this thing needs to be studied carefully, it cannot be learned by just reading it in one go." Mr. Xing said with a smile.
"Yes, Master." Young Master Tang nodded.
Speaking of which, the "Nine Carvings of Zigang" was really useful to him. He had tried it before when he was carving. He could not travel through time and space with his usual sculpting thinking. When he saw Lu Zigang's carvings hundreds of years ago, only this "Nine Carvings of Zigang"
"It only has this effect when it is around you. From this point of view, this book is not simple at all. It is a medium for young master Tang's thoughts to travel through time and space.
"Well, okay, I've finished transcribing it, and I'll give it to you. You have to keep it in a safe place. There's another thing I want to ask for your opinion on." Mr. Xing said.
"Master, please speak." Young Master Tang said.
"This "Zigang Nine Carvings" must have been a priceless treasure in the world of sculpture hundreds of years ago. However, the method of sculpture is different from calligraphy and painting techniques. It is constantly developing. Over the past few hundred years, many new techniques have emerged.
, No matter how powerful Senior Lu Zigang is, he cannot be much more advanced than what has been summed up by many carvers over hundreds of years."
"This "Zigang Nine Carvings" has many merits and has inspired me a lot, but it is not a martial arts secret book, and the carving techniques are also divided into schools, so the content in it is not as precious as imagined, so I think
What do you think about making it public so that all sculptors can learn from it, connect with others, and improve themselves?" asked Mr. Xing.
"Haha, two people have already discussed this issue with me. I told the master when I was in the capital, and I told Mr. Tang before I was in Haishi."
"Master, the contents of "Zigang Nine Carvings" will naturally be made public. I will keep the original version. If someone can become a master with "Zigang Nine Carvings", it can be regarded as the essence of Chinese inheritance for me." Tang Da
Shao smiled.
"Grandmaster, you kid, how can it be that simple?" Mr. Xing said with a smile.
"It's not easy, Master, I'll leave first." Young Master Tang nodded.
"Well, go ahead."
As Mr. Tang walked out of the door, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. The word 'Tingting' was clearly written on the phone book...
