Reborn Great Nation Craftsman

Chapter 11 Antique Furniture ~ The Accomplishment of Craftsmanship
His predecessor was a village called Yuhe Village under Yingqiu County, Yuandu City, Dongshan Province......

Depend on!
What is before and after.

Since he has inherited this body and all the memories of this body, what is the difference between the predecessor and the predecessor?
The predecessor's home is one's own home, and the predecessor's relatives are their own relatives.

Zhang Junping exhaled, thinking to himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Junping suddenly felt that he seemed to have a shackle removed from his body, and his whole body was transparent, as if he had eaten a piece of iced watermelon in dog days.

Zhang Junping was stunned for a while, until now, he was completely integrated with this body.

Before, because of the separation between soul and body, Zhang Junping didn't know how to face his family, and he always subconsciously ignored the existence of his family.

Fortunately, the family members are all far away in Dongshan Province. In this era, transportation and communication are inconvenient. Otherwise, Zhang Junping really doesn't know how to deal with his family members.

Zhang Junping continued to ponder what he had just thought.

By making a folding chair, Zhang Junping can completely solve his predicament, so that he is no longer troubled by money.

But is this what he wants?
No!

He wants to pursue a higher level of wood art, but it is not enough to not be troubled by money!
There is also a lot of discretionary time.

Therefore, if you want to truly achieve financial freedom, and not be bothered by the trivial matters of life, so that you can study skills with peace of mind, just selling folding chairs is not enough!

Zhang Junping has been thinking about what to do so that he can achieve financial freedom earlier.

Yesterday, the folding chair was snapped up frantically, and Zhang Junping had some ideas in his heart, but he hadn't thought about it yet.

Today, the rich and heroic aunt asked Zhang Junping to order 56 legs, which made Zhang Junping's thoughts clearer.

Breaking the barrier with this body, Zhang Junping's thinking is more agile and smooth.

Zhang Junping thought all the way and came to the junk shop.

After saying hello to Station Master Li and Wang Bin, Zhang Junping went directly to the freight yard to work.

Zhang Junping did not rush to repair the furniture.

Instead, he took out a pen and paper and a ruler and began to measure the size of a Ming Dynasty beech wood dragon pattern variant with rounded corners.

Record and draw on paper while measuring.

Beech, also known as southern elm, is the most common wood used in traditional furniture, especially in the folk.

Among the beech wood, blood beech is the most precious, with red and yellow color, similar to that of Hainan huanghuali, and has a special "pagoda pattern" like overlapping wavy tips.

Therefore, beech is known as the "declined aristocracy", and it was highly sought after by wealthy merchants during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Because the main producing area of ​​beech wood is in the Jiangsu area, beech wood furniture is also dominated by Jiangsu furniture.

The square-corner cabinet in front of you is the Ming Dynasty Suzuo dragon pattern variant round-corner cabinet. The cabinet is 101 cm long, 50 cm wide and 170.6 cm high.

The cabinet making method and frame legs are very similar to the above example, the two door components have latch rods, the cabinet chambers are set, and the drawers and chamber plates in the cabinet are also very similar.

In this case, the rounded corner cabinet is embossed with shovels on the door and the vertical plate of the cabinet.

The cabinet door has a four-layered three-stage style. The upper part is embossed with the grass dragon and Ganoderma lucidum pattern; the middle and side mountain panels are carved with neat and orderly four clusters of cloud patterns;

The wood grain of the cabinet is gorgeous and the carving is meticulous and exquisite.

It is definitely the representative work of Suzuo furniture, which perfectly reflects Suzuo furniture's beautiful shape, material saving and handsome style.

Zhang Junping did not simply measure the size of furniture, but while measuring, he learned the craftsmanship of ancient furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasties through observation and data comparison.

"Master Zhang, why haven't you started repairing yet?" Wang Bin looked at it a few times. Seeing that Zhang Junping had been measuring the size and drawing, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Haha! Stationmaster Wang, there is an old saying that sharpening a knife does not fail to chop wood!
I have studied and understood the workmanship of each piece of furniture, and then I can make sure that the repaired or replaced parts are consistent with the original furniture style! Zhang Junping raised his head and explained, and continued to bury his head in measuring the size, ignoring Wang Bin.

"If you have the ability, you will be willful!" Wang Bin could only mutter to himself, turning around and leaving.

Zhang Junping definitely did not have a willful way of craftsmanship, he really didn't have the mood to pay attention to Wang Bin.

After a morning of research, he found that he was a little too big.

As the ancient capital of the Five Dynasties, especially the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the capital has a history of more than 500 years.

It can be said that there is no place in the country where you can find furniture from all over the country like Beijing.

In a single morning, Zhang Junping saw Guangzuo furniture, Suzuo furniture, Jinzuo furniture, Luzuo furniture and many other different styles of furniture.

There are also mahogany inlaid silver furniture that is characteristic of their kite.

These different styles of furniture involve a variety of crafts such as carving, inlay, and gold painting.

There are many different techniques in a single mosaic process.

It is very difficult to maintain the same style as the original to achieve non-destructive repairs!

He can't do it yet!
When Zhang Junping was depressed because of his own skills, he was in no mood to talk to Wang Bin.

Busy until after get off work at night, Zhang Junping drew a bunch of drawings and accumulated a lot of data.

After carefully putting the drawings and data into the toolbox, Zhang Junping simply washed his hands and face and left the junk shop.

Compared with yesterday's excitement, Zhang Junping returned to his residence today with full of depression.

"Old Yang? Why are you here?"

Zhang Junping was surprised to see an old man.

She had gray hair and was wearing a white crew-neck sweater and a pair of grey knee-length shorts.

This dress is like an old man on the streets of Beijing.

For those who do not know, who would have thought that this is the famous three masters of art, Professor Yang Mingde, deputy dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

"What? I can't come?"

"No, I just didn't expect it, it was a bit unexpected!" Zhang Junping explained quickly.

"Boy, I think you're in a low mood, like an eggplant beaten by frost, what? What happened?" The old lady opened her mouth to help Zhang Junping.

"Grandma Liu," Zhang Junping thought for a while, but still spoke his mind, "I just found out today that I have overestimated my ability!

It might be okay to restore a piece or two of Ming and Qing furniture!
However, more than 200 pieces of Jingzuo furniture, Guangzuo furniture, Suzuo furniture, and Jinzuo furniture are mixed together. I can't repair them! "

When he said that he couldn't fix it, Zhang Junping was very frustrated.

"Haha, you kid, you have such a big heart!

Actually want to perfectly restore several different styles of Ming and Qing antique furniture!

Don't say it's you, it's me, and I wouldn't dare to say such a thing! "Yang Mingde laughed when he heard the words.

"Originally I thought I could do it, but the more I study today, the more guilty I feel!

I just found out I can't! "Zhang Junping scratched his head, embarrassed.

"That's right!

You know you are only 20 years old this year!

Every piece of fine antique furniture is a masterpiece that integrates the essence of tenon and tenon, carving, inlay, painting, lacquer art and other skills!

If you know how to cultivate, then you are a monster! "The old lady smiled and explained.
