Listening to the shrill screams of the cutting blades as they rotated at high speed while rubbing against the stones, the screams of the butchering pigs spread throughout the factory. There was no longer the rhythmic tinkling sound of hammering steel chisels on weekdays. Director Zhang felt as if something was missing. But
I took a look at the finished stone window that had just come out. Although it was my first time to operate it, the exquisiteness was not much different from that of hand-chiselled, but the speed was several times faster. My daughter has gone to Shanghai for intensive English training, and her career is about to take off.
But the carving model has undergone major changes, causing psychological fluctuations in many old workers. This is another crossroads in life. Director Zhang left Wu Guishao and Jin Huabin to drink together and talk about future development.<
/p>
After Wu Guishao drank a bowl of wine, he pointed angrily at the tools of the carved stone window such as drill bits, chisels, gouges, cones, knives, flat axes and hammers scattered on the ground and said: "I am old, these
The tools are also outdated and you have to retire with me. Without these tools, is stone window carving still called carving? How is it different from cement casting?"
"Who said our Uncle Wu is old? The prices of hand-carved and machine-carved are definitely not the same thing. I heard that the shells of high-end cars are still made by hand." Jin Huabin picked up the wine and made a toast and said: "
It’s just that times have changed, and we need to change in some places too. Take the tools drills, flat chisels, and gouges on the ground as an example. What Uncle Wu used when he was young is different from what he uses now, right? What he used when he was young
It is ordinary steel and needs to be quenched every day when you go home. Today's tools have tungsten steel added to the tip, so they will not be damaged for several months."
"How can this be the same as the cutting machine and the grinding wheel? They were also punched out with hammers, but now they are cut out or ground out." Master Wu said thoughtfully.
"The cut is true, but it is just a rough blank. The fine repairs must rely on Master Wu's hands." Jin Huabin pointed to the edge of the rough stone window just carved with a cutting machine and said, "Take a look for yourself.
There are always cut marks when carved by a cutting machine."
This is true. No matter how small the grinding wheel of the cutting machine is, there is always a minimum cutting radius. Therefore, it is inevitable to produce slits, which are not as fine as those made with a chisel. Seeing Master Wu thoughtfully,
Jin Huabin struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your masonry shop is divided into rough masonry and fine masonry. Now, with the cutting machine, it is equivalent to covering the original rough masonry work. Master Wu is an expert and can have more strength."
If you engage in fine carving and fine stonework, you can produce more fine products."
"That's true. What comes out after cutting is a blank." Director Zhang took over the topic and said: "We'd better discuss how to make the Dragon King Wall more beautiful and increase our reputation abroad." p>
Speaking of the Dragon King Wall, Master Wu Guishou got excited and said: "My idea for this is not to use pebbles, but to use the intaglio method. The grooves of the dragon body are carved into the stone, and all the components on the dragon body are inlaid with beeswax.
The colors are rich, including yellow, red, blue, cyan, white, red, black, purple, green, and orange. After polishing, they can give off the luster of gemstones. They are definitely more upscale than Gao Qian Ying's. The other party is not short of money, and we also
You have to get him some good stuff, right?"
"It's just what I wanted. We inlaid jade and precious stones on wood. We inlaid jade on stone. To be honest, it's a pioneering work." Director Zhang patted his thigh and said, "This is the design of the Dragon King Wall, with two eyes.
Use better jade."
After the matter was agreed upon, Director Zhang arranged to purchase beeswax. These materials had never been used when carving stone windows. To find suitable beeswax or other jade, Director Xiang had to find a way, and his soon-to-be son-in-law was exactly that.
Factory Director Xiang is in charge of technology. Director Zhang called Deputy Director Jin’s mobile phone and said, "My dear, can you help me find some beeswax raw materials?"
After listening to Factory Director Zhang's narration, he replied: "It's a small matter. When the time comes, you come to our factory to pick a batch. I'll say hello to the supplier and give it to you at the best price. There's something happening right now.
Looking for you, President Ying from Malaysia will come to Xianju again soon. How are the procedures for labor export workers going through here?"
"The personnel have been decided. This is not true, because the company is making tombstones, and the grade is low. At that time, the contract was affiliated with the company of my daughter's master. Now, there are some problems with the guarantee. I am thinking of going to him to show off my old face and ask for help.
Huang gave me a stamp of honor." Director Zhang finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Director Zhang came to the office of Junlin Arts and Crafts Factory and saw a guest sitting inside. He was also in the carving industry and had met at a conference. It was Wang Wanren who was inlaid with colored stones. He and Director Huang Xiangtang were sipping tea.
We were chatting happily in front of several screens. What were we talking about? Director Zhang took a look and saw several immortal Taoists carved on the screens. In front of them were a group of monsters that were half stone and half sheep. Director Zhang came in.
, hurriedly greeted and said: "The matter of sealing is left to the director of the office. Come and take a look at Wang Gong's masterpiece, the colorful stone inlaid masterpiece Wong Tai Sin that he just conceived and made."
Wong Tai Sin? There is no weasel in it. A trace of doubt flashed in Director Zhang's eyes. After a while, he thought with a dumbfounded smile that it was really a shadow of his childhood. The Wong Tai Sin they mentioned should be the red pine nut Wong Tai Sin who became an immortal in Jinhua.
Huang Taixian's real name was Huang Chuping (about 328-386), a native of the Jin Dynasty, and his nickname was Chisongzi. According to "Jinhua Mansion Chronicles", he once followed the Taoist priests to practice Taoism in Jinhua caves while herding sheep. His brother Huang Chuqi was looking for him everywhere.
, whose whereabouts were unknown, met each other outside the cave 40 years later. The former sheep had already turned into white stones all over the mountain, but Huang Chuping shouted, and the stones immediately turned into sheep. Huang Chuqi was extremely surprised and admired his brother's contribution.
He also decided to practice Taoism. From then on, Huang Chuqi stayed in the cave to practice with his younger brother. He refused to eat the fireworks of the world and filled his stomach with pine nuts and poria cocos every day, and finally achieved Taoism and became an immortal.
In the hometown of Wong Tai Sin, tourists can not only visit Wong Tai Sin Palace, Erxian Well, the former residence, Muyang Road, Lishi Road and other relics, but also go to Wong Tai Mountain, Taojia Mountain, Mu Chengyuan and other places to search for the wonders. The main ones are Yunyan
Zen Yin, Luosong Pavilion, Magui Mountain, Hundred-step Ladder, Immortal Footprints, Immortal Cave, Immortal Table, Checkerboard Stone, etc.
Placed in Huang Xiangtang's office are the first few paintings of the huge joint screen work "Wong Tai Sin". The reason is very simple. Huang Xiangtang's surname is Huang, and he has the same clan as Wong Tai Sin, so he is more interested in Wong Tai Sin.
Director Zhang looked at it for a while. This work is inlaid with jade, like a beating curve of undulating musical notes. The expressions of the characters are vivid and lifelike. The colors and textures are naturally matched. The characters in the picture are well spaced and dense. It has a strong artistic appeal.
Li. He couldn’t help but nodded.
Standing in front of this work, Wang Yinhua introduced his idea and said: "Wong Tai Sin represents an ordinary shepherd boy who values benevolence, upholds justice, advocates harmony, seeks great harmony, and constantly strives for self-improvement. He is integrated with nature and has a normal mind.
See the vast world, understand the path of life, and become a god admired by all people.
The legend of Wong Tai Sin only has some simple illustrations left in history. I only had to go to the library and visit his birthplace to collect them bit by bit."
