Seeing Zhou Yu use beeswax to perfectly copy the original shape of the wooden block in an instant with his neat techniques, many students, including Liu Jie, became even more relieved about Zhou Yu's next carving, because the single This alone showed Zhou Yu's extremely virtuous carving skills. After this, no one would be skeptical about processing this wood block anymore.
Then I saw Zhou Yu holding this piece of beeswax with his eyes closed and meditating, and then looking at the several flat design drawings in front of him. After hesitating in his mind about the knife skills and the order of carving, Zhou Yu suddenly copied Then, the smallest of the carving knives began to carve on the beeswax quickly. This carving on beeswax has several advantages.
First, the texture of beeswax is soft and can be carved more quickly. Second, beeswax can be reused. Even if the carving is wrong, it can be restored by heating the beeswax. Once the beeswax is proficient in carving, possible problems will be discovered and the carving will be completed. There will be no problem. At the same time, this design drawing is flat after all, not three-dimensional. Only when it is truly three-dimensional can we discover the shortcomings in the design and then improve it so that the final product can be more Perfect without problems.
Zhou Yu's cutting speed was extremely fast and concise. There was almost no pause during the carving process. Even if he paused sometimes, he would just change the position of the beeswax block in his hand so that he could make the cut better. Knife, so in less than twenty minutes, Zhou Yu actually completed the carving. After taking the test object in his hand, he looked at it, and then made some adjustments on it, then Zhou Yu carved the wax model. It was handed over to Liu Jie and asked to see if he was satisfied with it and if there was anything he wanted to modify.
Liu Jie took the wax model in his hand and looked through it carefully. The students next to him also poked their heads over. Although it was said that they designed the design together, what exactly is the three-dimensional finished product? It is different from the design drawing. Everyone is vying to see it. This wax model was carved by Zhou Yu into a picture of clouds and dragons fighting for the sun according to the requirements of the design drawing. The wax model is covered with clouds, and a dragon is in the clouds. Faintly visible.
The dragon extends from the front to the back of the wax model. The larger round hole on the front is designed to look like a red sun hanging above Yunlong's head, while the smaller original hole on the back becomes Yunlong's dragon peeking out of the clouds. The orb held by the claws, with a special space under the dragon head on the front, is bound with the nine-character Taoist mantra of Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lin, Qian and Xingtao Jia written in Taoist Yun seal.
The other places are all covered with cloud dragon patterns, and if you are a Taoist disciple, you will find that the lines of the cloud dragon patterns are secretly connected to form a formation. This is the formation naturally formed on the wooden block, and it can only be carved in this way. Only after being consecrated by someone from the Taoist sect can this formation be truly activated and play its role.
The cloud dragon pattern is a type of dragon pattern. It is named because its composition is composed of dragons and clouds. The dragon is the main pattern, with clouds as the auxiliary pattern. The dragon may appear to be galloping on clouds, or dancing among the clouds. It first appeared on porcelain of the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as the cloud dragon pattern on the secret color porcelain vase of the Yue kiln in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and the printing plate of the Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty. There are dragon patterns dancing among the auspicious clouds. Cloud dragon patterns are more common on porcelain of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. At the same time, the cloud dragon pattern is more suitable for hiding the formation patterns underneath, and complements the nine-character mantra written in Taoist cloud seal script, so Zhou Yu finally let Liu Jie agree. This design.
After the wax model went around in the hands of Liu Jie and others, Zhou Yu took the wax model and asked them if there was anything they wanted to change. Liu Jie and the others all said no. Of course, this was not all a compliment. After all, if they were asked to carve it, it would definitely not be as good as this.
However, Zhou Yu still asked them to take a closer look, because after all, this is not Zhou Yu's own thing, and this design was not designed by Zhou Yu alone. If there is anything wrong, it can be said on the wax model now. If it's on the wood, it won't be easy to change it in time.
So Zhou Yu repeatedly emphasized the importance of this matter, and Liu Jie and the others also thought that they could play a role in the birth process of seeing a beautiful item, so they stopped complimenting Zhou Yu's craftsmanship and began to There is something wrong with this wax model.
After all, I am an art student. Although my hands-on ability may not be very strong, my ability to find mistakes is not limited. In the following nearly forty minutes, I really found out a lot of problems, and finally I put this wax After the mold was confirmed, Zhou Yu began to officially carve. However, unlike when carving the wax model, Zhou Yu decided to use the carving technique called Han Ba ??Dao, which is specially used to carve jade.
Originally, the carving technique of the Han Ba ??Dao was not suitable for carving such complicated patterns as the cloud dragon pattern. This simple and elegant carving technique seemed to be more suitable for carving simple utensils like the jade cicada, but this time Zhou Yu had his own Some truth, in Qin, a powerful countryDuring the Han Dynasty, the jade production style changed from the previous delicate and detailed style to a powerful, broad, natural and bold artistic style.
The art of jade making in this period has been freed from the shackles of pattern art since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and has been freed from the mysterious and majestic religious atmosphere. Techniques such as hollowing out and relief are widely used. Under the influence of the realistic painting art, a new development path was taken, and this sculpture technique was born.
The cutting work of Han Ba ??Dao is very unique. All real "Ba Dao" skills are accurate and ruthless in cutting the "knife", and the "knife" is lifted and closed cleanly and neatly, and most of them are "slanted knives", that is, One side is shallow and the other side is deep. It is so famous because of its concise knife skills and lifelike expression. If you think of carving jade as a painting, the concise brushwork and full expression can be regarded as a good painting.
In terms of painting methods, it is a simple painting method. To put it bluntly, it is a work of cutting corners and cutting materials. It is the practice of using stones instead of jade. Therefore, the Chinese began to cut corners and materials very early. ! In the social background of that time, the dead were buried with jade. How many jade workshops were there? If a piece of jade was processed for a year and a half, the dead would be gone. In order to comply with the current situation of jade use at that time, the only way to speed up the production time was to speed up the production time.
Because of the time limit, some jade craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship produced jade articles with simple shapes to meet the needs of ordinary people for funeral jade. Later, they found that the more they made, the better they became, and they began to be accepted by the princes and ministers, and the materials they used also improved. It started to get better and better, so it became popular at that time, and was used for funerals, giving future generations the reputation of "Han Ba ??Dao".
