Chapter 4 Wood Carvings of Huizhou Three Carvings

The house was demolished.

Start rebuilding the foundation.

It was already the fifth day, and Qin Luo received a package in the morning.

No other express delivery is available in the village, so you need to go to the town to pick it up.

But Qin Luo used JD.com to buy a set of knives, and the courier drove a van to deliver them to his door.

The Huizhou Three Sculptures are an important part of the architecture and a unique skill that I have practiced in the system space for a long time.

The set of carving knives Qin Luo bought is divided into five pieces, made of manganese steel, including four flat-head knives of 6.5mm, 5.5mm, 4.5mm, and 3.5mm, and a 3.5mm bevel-head knife.

"Today I will make an unboxing video for everyone."

Holding the express box, Qin Luo stood in front of the camera in the live broadcast room.

In the past two days of live broadcast, the number of people has stabilized, stabilizing at around two hundred, fluctuating up and down.

But it's not as bleak as it was when it first aired.

"The three carvings are the essence of Huizhou architecture. These three carvings are wood carvings, brick carvings, and stone carvings."

"Since it is carving, you need to use a carving knife."

"In this box, there are five carving knives of different sizes."

Qin Luo said, taking out the carving knives and showing them in front of the camera.

The one I bought is of better quality, with exquisite workmanship and texture.

Five knives, packed in a tool bag, with compartments in the middle, brown wooden handles, black blades, and blunt edges at the tips.

"Today the workers are laying the foundation. I have nothing to do. Just in time, we dug out a big tree root yesterday. Let's clean it up."

"If the carving is good, I will put it in my new home."

"If the carving is damaged, I will send it to anyone who likes it for free."

Qin Luo said with a smile.

Barrage after barrage suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.

"That's the opposite!"

"Give you a chance to reorganize your language!"

"If you carve it well, give it away. If you don't carve it well, keep it for yourself!"

"The anchor has started to work hard."

"How to give it? Draw a lottery or be number one on the list?"

The comments in the live broadcast room suddenly became popular.

I now have "loyal fans".

I put the design drawings of the previous house on my official account. There are more than 500 people following the official account, and dozens of them have added their own WeChat accounts.

A little less, but they are all live fans.

"Don't worry, carve it out first and take a look."

"Lest you say I cheated."

Qin Luo said with a smile, and immediately moved the half-meter-square old tree root over, then pulled the water pipe over and rinsed away the soil on the surface.

The root of this wood is irregular and strangely shaped, but the material is good, it is old elm.

Qin Luo already had a sketch in his mind. He took an ax and chopped off the unsuitable areas first, smoothed out the bottom, placed four bricks underneath, and adjusted the height to the appropriate height. Then he moved a small horse and put on an apron.

, and began to work carefully.

Talking while carving.

"Our Huizhou three-carving sculpture originated in the Song Dynasty and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Of course, there were also evolutions in the technical route."

"During the Ming Dynasty, the carvings were rough and simple, with simple patterns. Generally there were only flat carvings and bas-relief carvings, with the help of line shapes, but they lacked perspective changes and emphasized symmetry."

"In the Qing Dynasty, as Huizhou merchants became richer, the carving style also began to evolve, becoming more delicate and complex, paying attention to artistic beauty. Once you were rich, you were willing to use materials and work. At this time, deep relief and round carvings were mostly used.

Yes, we advocate the hollowing out effect.”

“Some hollow levels can reach dozens of levels, with pavilions, terraces, pavilions, trees, mountains and rivers, people and animals, flowers, birds, insects and fish... all of these can be concentrated in the same picture, exquisitely carved, well-proportioned, clear-cut and lifelike.

"

Qin Luo talked eloquently.

In the system space, I have worked hard on these things.

While talking, he kept moving his hands.

First use a large carving knife to trim the appearance of the entire wood root to a roughly rounded shape, remove some disharmonious bulges and rotten areas, and then continue digging inward.

This old root is quite big, with a depth of half a meter. It's quite a big piece, and it's enough for you to "play with."

At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room has not increased much, but the number of comments has increased.

"I'll go! This anchor really understands it!"

“Oh my god, I’m actually taking classes in the Douyin live broadcast room?”

"Brother Luo, what are you trying to carve?"

"Please give me an erotic picture! It should be lifelike!"

…

Qin Luo didn't even watch the live broadcast room. At this moment, his grandfather also came over, moved a small pony, and sat beside him to watch.

I never expected that my grandson would do this.

"My dear grandson, what are you trying to carve?"

Grandpa asked.

Qin Luo laughed: "You will know later."

Qin Luo temporarily gave up, but his hand movements were extremely fast, with a sense of beauty that had been tempered for thousands of times. As the sawdust flew, the inside of the tree roots was gradually hollowed out, some places were thinned, and some places were preserved.

The base is the widest.

Because you have to consider the actual placement.

However, the upper, left, right and three sides are gradually carved into the shape of a door.

On the inside, Qin Luo retains a sense of hierarchy and is not completely hollowed out.

Above the base, a lifelike river was carved quickly. The harmonious and perfect wavy lines are vividly displayed by the wooden texture, and can be clearly recognized without coloring.

The number of people in the live broadcast room began to increase, there were more and more comments, and small gifts began to appear.

But Qin Luo didn't care at all.

Immerse yourself wholeheartedly in your own carving.

Above the "river", there was a raised position that he had reserved before. Qin Luo changed to the smallest carving knife and carved it carefully. After hundreds of knives, a lifelike carp took shape, with its tail connecting to the "river surface".

, as a fulcrum, but it is handled very smoothly.

"The carp leaps over the dragon's gate!"

Grandpa grinned.

He saw it.

Qin Luo smiled but still said nothing: "Yes, but it's not entirely correct. Please take a look again."

At the reserved place above the fish slope, Qin Luo began to carve the clouds.

The thin layer of clouds was carved quickly.

He turned the wood over to the back and began carving the inner area on the back.

Three stars of happiness, prosperity and longevity.

This is a type of device that I have studied over and over again when I was playing candy, and I have become extremely proficient in it. Within half an hour, the three-star shape was formed.

Judging from the screen.

It turned out to be a big carp in the river on the ground, leaping high and towards the dragon gate above the clouds. Above the clouds, the three stars of Fortune, Luxury and Shou stood facing each other in a triangle, with a chessboard in the middle. The three stars glanced down.

He glanced at the fish.

However, this is not over yet.

The three stars were approximately located in the middle of the root carving, and there was still some space on the sides and back. Qin Luo carved the immortals one after another.

A pot-bellied God of Wealth.

Two fairies with graceful postures.
