Reborn Great Nation Craftsman

Chapter 40 The Descendants of Qingtian Stone Carving
"Don't be funny, brother, it's not that I look down on the sculpture department, I look down on your craftsmanship!

Why do you have to speak so clearly? " Zhang Junping taunted.

In one sentence, Zhou Jianping doubted his life.

Almost ran to the corner to draw circles.

Curse Zhang Junping.

Of course Zhou Jianping's skill is not really bad, if it was really bad, Zhang Junping wouldn't say such a thing.

The reason why I dare to say this is because it is generally recognized in the dormitory that Zhou Jianping's skills are the best among the seven of them.

Zhou Jianping grew up in Qingtian Stone Carving Factory.

When it comes to Qingtian stone carvings, many people may not be very clear.

Qingtian stone carving is one of the three carvings in Zhejiang, and is as famous as Dongyang wood carving and boxwood carving.

Qingtian stone carving has a very long history, originating from the "Songze Culture" period 5000 years ago.

Qingtian stone carving has its own genre, bold and grand, delicate and exquisite, with both form and spirit, and the keynote is realistic and artistic.

The stone used in Qingtian stone carving is Qingtian stone, one of the four famous stones, which is juxtaposed with Shoushan stone, Changshi stone and Balin stone.

Qingtian stone is rich in color and unique in pattern.Mainly "pyrophyllite", it is waxy, oily and vitreous, non-transparent, slightly transparent to translucent, and has a dense and fine texture. It is the earliest type of stone used for seal carving in China.

With cyan as the main color, the famous products of Qingtian stone include light jelly, fish brain jelly, soy sauce jelly, Fengmen green, Jingjing jelly, mint jelly, Tianmo, Tianbai and so on.

Qingtian stone carvings developed on the basis of Qingtian stone were selected as tributes many times in the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

On Qianlong's Eighty-Nine Longevity Festival, ministers used Qingtian stone carvings to make a set of [-] "Baodian Fushu" seals for birthday gifts. This set of seals is still preserved in the Palace Museum.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the opening of Sino-Ocean Trade, Qingtian stone carvings were exported to Britain, the United States and France. They participated in many international competitions, and won awards at the 1899 Paris Competition, the 1905 Belgian Competition, and the 1915 American Pacific World Exposition.

In the second year of Xuantong’s reign, Qingtian stone carvings won a silver medal at the Nanyang Industry Fair held in Nanjing.

Zhou Jianping can be said to have a family background. He has laid a solid foundation since he was a child. After he was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he studied systematically in the Department of Sculpture for a year, and his skills became more exquisite.

Among their students this year, Zhou Jianping definitely belongs to the top level.

Of course, it is still worse than Zhang Junping. After all, Zhang Junping had already become famous before he crossed, and he is a provincial master of arts and crafts.

But not too bad.

If the skill level is divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, expert, and master.

Zhou Jianping is roughly at the level of a senior arts and crafts artist, while Zhang Junping has reached the level of an expert.

The three levels of junior high school and high school belong to a quantitative accumulation, while advanced to expert level is a qualitative change.

As for the expert to the master level, it is even more of a gap. There are many experts in the world, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that there are too many experts.

But in every province, there are dozens or hundreds of craftsmen who are experts in arts and crafts.

However, the real master of arts and crafts, counting by two hands.

The reason why I don't want Zhou Jianping's stone carvings is a joke.

but.

It is also because Zhou Jianping has a good platform to show off.

Zhou Jianping, who relies on Qingtian Stone Carving Factory, is not short of money.

The Qingtian stone carvings in this period, like the kite and mahogany inlaid with silver, are both well-known local products that can be exported to earn foreign exchange.

The brothers walked around the yard, laughing for a while, then locked the door and went back to school.

The next day, the school officially started.

As a human being, it was the first time for Zhang Junping to step into a university classroom as a student, and everything felt so fresh.

When I came to the Chinese painting classroom according to my memory, I suddenly felt that it was different from what I imagined.

The classrooms of CAFA’s Chinese Painting Department are not big, and unlike other universities, there are neat rows of desks and chairs.

The layout of the classroom can be said to be very messy. As soon as you enter the door, there is a large picture desk on the podium, and there are some long desk desks around the classroom, with many easels and small stools in the middle.

In fact, the classrooms in their freshmen, first and second grades were a bit better, while the classrooms in their junior and senior years were even more chaotic.

In fact, it is not accurate to say the classroom, it should be said to be the studio, more precisely, the number of studios of the Central American Painting Department.

The teaching atmosphere of CAFA is very free, and the classrooms where students take classes are like studios.

Even after they graduate in the future, it is written in the file that so-and-so graduated from the studio of so-and-so in the Department of Chinese Painting.

Each studio is led by a well-known professor.

This is also a different kind of teacher-inheritance relationship.

When Zhang Junping arrived, three or four classmates had already rushed to the classroom.

The students who came early are cleaning up spontaneously.

After all, no one has entered in the summer vacation, there is a lot of dust in the classroom, and there is a musty smell.

The window had been opened, and a male student named Liao Bushi was standing on the windowsill cleaning the glass.

"Student Zhang Junping, did you really stay in Beijing for a part-time work-study program during the summer vacation and didn't go home to let your children go?" A female classmate asked crisply when she saw Zhang Junping coming in.

The one who spoke was the monitor of their class, Huang Xue, a hot girl from Sichuan.

"Yes!" Zhang Junping replied, while consciously joining the ranks of cleaning.

Seeing that the water in the bucket had turned black, Zhang Junping picked up the bucket and prepared to fetch water.

"Zhang Junping, tell us about your work-study experience in Beijing?"

"Squad leader, what is there to say about work-study programs?

I'm still going to fetch water, and I'll talk about it when I come back! "Zhang Junping imitated Huang Xue's speech and dragged out a sentence of Sichuan dialect.

"Zhang Junping, you hate it, learn from me!" Huang Xue stomped.

Zhang Junping ignored Huang Xue's cry, laughed and walked out of the classroom.

"Ah, Huang Xue, I didn't expect that the Sichuan dialect that Zhang Junping spoke was quite similar!" Liao Bushi laughed while standing on the windowsill.

"What are you laughing at? What do you look like! It's so ugly!" Huang Xue glared at Liao Bu eleven, and looked at Zhang Junping's back in confusion.

Zhang Junping seems to have changed, he didn't know how to joke before.

She always said ten sentences, but he couldn't answer two.

By the time Zhang Junping came back from fetching water, the students in the fourth studio had already arrived.

There are only fifteen students in the fourth studio of the Department of Chinese Painting.

Everyone is busy cleaning up.

On the first day of class, the main thing is to clean up and get a new book.

Tutor, tell us about the course schedule for the new semester.

Then there is everyone chatting about the interesting things about the summer vacation.

Their counselor is a schoolgirl named Ye Lirong who stayed at school after graduation.

My home is in Beijing, and I am very enthusiastic, and I speak and do things very briskly.

The phase is born from the heart, and the person is also very heroic.

After the senior sister explained the course schedule and learning tasks for this semester, she did not leave, but stayed and chatted with them about their summer vacation experience.

We talked until after class at noon, when everyone left the classroom together and went to the cafeteria to eat.

"Zhang Junping, why didn't you find me?

Didn't I tell you my home address? "Ye Lirong called to Zhang Junping.

　Thank you [Little Idleman R] for the reward
