Chapter 7 Mimicry

Jingdezhen is already very modern and has no ancient atmosphere at all. Many other household appliances have been replaced by glass except bowls, plates, and plates. Therefore, porcelain has greatly reduced and it is difficult to have a market for fine porcelain. Therefore, porcelain has developed to this day in an extremely embarrassing situation. If it cannot break through, it can only recall the glory of the past.

Lin Yue didn't come back until the evening. In the afternoon, he wanted to go to Jingdezhen History Museum, but he did not pick up customers recently, so he could only go around other places.

When he returned to the room, Lin Yue called Qin Yaoyao to report his safety, and then took out a small wooden stake that he had come from Jingdezhen Wood Farm today.

Today he is going to start practicing the first stage of "Caring the Sutra": embossing the shape!

If you want to make a living creature vivid, you must not only have a meticulous observation of the creature, but also have a figurative three-dimensional thinking, and also have a delicate angle of knife production. Of course, the most important thing is the complex knife skills.

According to the teachings of Master Lin Yue Chang Tai, it is obvious that Lin Yue practices carving inanimate things on wood, such as leaves, a tree, or even carving a stone, and then carving a living creature in the later stage of morphology. This way, step by step can better lay a solid foundation.

What Lin Yue wants to carve today is to carve a teacup.

Only tea cups in the shape of teacup.

And you can only use the Hanyue carving knife.

It’s easier to carve the outside, but it’s hard to carve the hollow inside with a cold moon carving knife.

All my ancestors have done it, can’t I do it?

Lin Yue thought about it for a while and had no good idea, so he could only cheer himself up like this.

Put the short wooden stake on the coffee table and fix it. Lin Yue took a deep breath, took out the Hanyue carving knife and started chopping it directly at the wooden stake.

The Hanyue carving knife couldn't help but blow the hair and cut the iron like mud. The wood was like tofu in front of it, and it could cut it whatever you want.

If it is an ordinary knife, Chang Tai may ask Lin Yue to connect from the soil blocks first, then wood, then stone, and finally metal. However, because the Hanyue carving knife is too sharp, and Lin Yue practiced an ordinary carving technique, he directly chose wood to start.

Lin Yue's mind saw the general shape of the entire cup, and first carved the wood into a cylinder with a volume similar to the cup.

But soon, Lin Yue discovered something was wrong. The cup he carved had no handles, but was just a bare cup.

Lin Yue sighed helplessly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that I still have no experience and I actually forgot a handle.

If you forget, just play, throw it away.

Lin Yue cut the cup into a rectangle, then cut the edge into a plane, and then cut the edge into two planes...

In this way, the four corners become eight edges, and the eight edges become sixteen edges...

Cut it in sequence, and the outer edges slowly become closer, and the edges gradually become larger, and finally the entire cup tends to be a cylindrical shape.

Seeing that the general shape had appeared, Lin Yue used his blade to scratch the outer wall of the wooden pillar bit by bit.

Soon Lin Yue discovered that ordinary people really couldn't do the work of carpenters, especially with a carving knife. If the force was not evenly used, it would be easy to scrape the wooden walls deep and shallow.

Lin Yue looked at the increasingly thinner Muzhu, and the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger. If he scraped it down, he might end up becoming a toothpick.

After scraping Lin Yue, he started the most difficult hollowing out, but soon he had a solution.

He checked the tip of the Hanyue carving knife to the surface of the wooden stake, then tilted the blade, turned it around, and used the blade to rotate a downward cone, and a cone-shaped gap appeared.

As done, Lin Yue rotated the middle of the wooden column bigger and bigger, combining the large cone with the small cone, and soon enough depth inside, but some parts of the wooden walls were thicker and uneven.

Lin Yue processed it again and it became the shape of a wooden cup.

Completed.

Lin Yue looked at his first handicraft and felt a sense of accomplishment. Although he was very poor in his mind and did not even meet the most basic shape requirements for sculpting, it was already very satisfying that Lin Yue could be carved like this for the first time.

Who can make perfect? ​​It will be better in the future.

After packing up the wood on the ground, Lin Yue began his compulsory course every day - Pixiang.

It is still very necessary for Lin Yue to split incense at this stage.

Gujing Bubo is definitely the best carving state, but the time he can hold on is too short. If he can hold on for an hour, Lin Yue will definitely become a master in the carving world.

Moreover, Gujing Bubo seems to be very helpful for morphology. Any object can remember all the features with a single eye when you look at it. It took Lin Yue nearly two hours to close a cup, while Gujing Bubo can last up to thirty seconds. The time gap between before and after is too big, and Lin Yue still has a long way to go.

After splitting the incense, Lin Yue fell asleep beautifully.

The next day, Lin Yue got up early. After a night of rest, his fatigue disappeared from dressing up last night. Lin Yue was in extremely good spirits at this time.

After breakfast with He Changhe, He Changhe, Lin Yue, Jia Weigeng and his apprentice Zhang Huiming went to the museum that Lin Yue did not enter yesterday.

The museum was arranged by Jingdezhen, but it was requested by He Changhe. Because they came a little too early and the others had not arrived yet. They originally arranged to go together, but in order to take care of Lin Yue, He Changhe took the opportunity to ask Lin Yue to learn more knowledge and asked Lin Yue to take the initiative to ask him to learn more knowledge.

Jia Weigeng hasn't been to Jingdezhen for a long time, so he plans to visit. There are naturally Zhang Huiming where Jia Weigeng is.

When he arrived at the museum, someone was waiting for them early. He Changhe refused the staff's request to lead them to visit, and took Lin Yue and his party to visit.

The Jingdezhen Museum not only contains exquisite porcelain, but also the tools of ancient porcelain makers, the strokes of the process of firing porcelain, and related myths and legends.

Although they are all relatively simple related to porcelain, Lin Yue can feel the rich culture contained in it.

Porcelain originated from pottery, and it evolved into pottery because of porcelain stone. Pottery existed in primitive society. In this way, the history of porcelain is almost accompanied by the history of the Chinese.

Compared with the age of porcelain, Lin Yue felt that his age at twenty-five was not worth mentioning.

I send a canfly to the heaven and earth, a grain of water. I mourn my life for a moment and envy the endless Yangtze River. No wonder the ancients expressed such emotion. In the face of the heavy weight of history, human beings are indeed too small.

Lin Yue sighed secretly, looking at the exquisite porcelain pieces, and at the same time, he felt deeply admired those who devoted their lives to the porcelain making career. (To be continued)
