Chapter 112 Scholars and Craftsmen

Chapter 110 Three Scholars and Craftsmen
Walking around the fence from the river beach, Mr. Sun was startled when he saw the Qingming stone screen wall at the door: "What kind of stone is this? This one stone of yours has filled up the empty parts of this yard, good! There is Taihu Lake The style and appearance of the stone, but the material is much higher than Taihu stone!"

Li Junge said: "I found this in a ravine. The little stone in Pan'ao Township named him Qingmingshi. If you always like it, there is still a small room over there. Then you and the big brother can do whatever they want." pick."

Going around the screen wall and seeing the stone pillar standing in the middle of the pond, Old Sun couldn't take his eyes off, and murmured to himself: "The sky and the world are exquisitely embroidered, and the best of all good fortune is on this peak."

Wei Jingxiang was also startled, and hesitantly said: "Old Sun, is this stone comparable to Guanyun Peak?"

Sun Lao said: "The stone is more solid, the color is clearer, and the style is more ancient! Some Taihu stones are whitish, and ancient masons would apply smoke and other stone dyeing techniques after quarrying the stones. This is pure natural! It's an eye-opener! I said, little monkey, how did you find this thing?"

Li Junge laughed complacently: "My father scolded me bloody like this! He said that I was not doing my job and touching stones all day long. I am now offering a price of one yuan per catty to buy it from the villagers. These days, it has been one after another. Some people picked it up and sent it over, but there are no such big ones yet.”

Elder Sun said: "It's really a treasure, if you can see these two stones this time, it's already a worthwhile trip!"

Li Junge said: "You will live here these days. If you like it, you can watch it slowly. Come and come, let's sit down and eat first. Anyway, the stones can't run away!"

During the banquet, Sun Lao's eyes never left the Qingming stone in the atrium, and the table of delicacies from mountains and rivers probably didn't taste good. Liu Sanwa's craftsmanship was in vain.

In the afternoon, the expedition team went to the ancestral hall to start work. Li Junge drove the raptor over and called a few villagers to help pull the equipment.

Wei Jingxiang said: "I don't worry when I see this car, I was really afraid that your baby would not do well before I came here."

Li Junge said with a smile: "This car is convenient for hauling goods in the village, and it has enough horsepower to go to Bifeng Mountain behind."

When he came to the front of the ancestral hall, Wei Jingxiang exclaimed: "Looking at the video and photos, there is no real shock! This ancient masonry craftsmanship is really amazing."

Sun Lao said: "The ancient buildings before the Tang Dynasty had more beams and columns. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the brackets and arches became mature that the columns were reduced and moved, so as to obtain more activity space and lighting openings."

"Look at this gatehouse. Four stone pillars inside and outside can support the entire stone roof. The brackets are boldly used up to nineteen floors. This craftsmanship can be said to be at its peak."

Fourth Grandfather came out of the ancestral hall, and Li Junge quickly introduced him to them.

The fourth grandfather said: "Our village needs to support this work, why don't I suspend the children's classes these days? Let's talk about it after the expedition team finishes their work?"

Wei Jingxiang quickly said: "No, no, we will do some data collection during the day, as for scanning and flaw detection, we will do it in the dead of night."

The fourth grandfather said to Li Junge: "The leather baby, you have to say hello to all the children in the village, because they are too curious and don't know the severity, and it will be bad if they break the equipment."

Liang Huili said: "Then Erpi and I will go to the township government to pull up some guardrails. After school, the children will surround the gate together, and don't let outsiders enter this circle."

Leaving the assistant to unpack and install the equipment, the Fourth Grandpa brought Mr. Sun and Wei Jingxiang to introduce him from the gatehouse.

Li Junge took Liang Huili to the village to pull the guardrail, and picked up the old stone and the small stone by the way.

A Yinyu went to contact each household and told them that the expedition team was coming, and asked the family to tell the children not to touch the equipment of the expedition team.

The group was so busy.

When Li Junge came back with the old and small stones and guardrails, the entrance of the ancestral hall was already in a posture, and the ground was full of cables. The various equipment made people feel like they were about to shoot a science fiction blockbuster.

There are also several lampposts erected around it.

Old Shitou was very excited, and said: "Pi Wa, you are really capable! If you can attract such a group of learned people, if this still can't solve the problems left by our ancestors, Uncle Shitou, I will give up!"

He took the old and small stones to meet Mr. Sun, and found that the fourth grandfather and Mr. Sun were holding a teacup, facing the small stage there, and the two were chatting to enter Hong Kong.

Wei Jingxiang quietly pulled Li Junge aside and said, "What did your fourth grandfather do before? Good guy who knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom! This is, an ancestral hall's door-to-door, and it's so clear."

Li Junge said: "This is my Wenqu star in Lijiagou. Before the liberation, I was a college student. I learned it in a private school when I was a child. If I hadn't transferred to the administrative department later, a master of Chinese studies would be appropriate!"

Wei Jingxiang said: "It's too embarrassing for me, a doctor, to be in front of the two of them. Damn, they know what I know, and I don't know a lot of what they know. This, this, this... I'd better hang out with the old man more honestly." It's been a few years!"

Li Junge laughed loudly and said, "It's normal. I've been with my fourth grandfather for more than [-] years since I was a child. Two days ago, I was scolded for being uneducated. The old man has too much stuff in his stomach. There's really nothing I can do about it." Compare."

Old and little Shitou was a little reserved when he was with a group of intellectuals.

Old Sun came over to shake hands with him: "This is Comrade Wang Mincai and Comrade Wang Qie, right? It's not easy for you!"

Old Shitou hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes before taking them on, and said, "Hey, I can't bear this title. Everyone in the village calls me Old Shitou. This is my son. Little Shitou, little Shitou, call me Grandpa."

Little Shitou hurried over and called out respectfully, "Grandpa Sun."

Sun Lao said: "In ancient Chinese architecture, stone carving is an inseparable link. The so-called 'architecture is a large craft, and stone carving is a small building'. This gatehouse is the best example. No matter the East or the West, stone carving and architecture are inseparable. of."

"It can be said that sculpture endows the soul of the building, making the building have the characteristics of integrating the surrounding environment and public aesthetics. Master architect Liang Shicheng once said: 'Art begins, sculpture comes first', the two complement each other, and can be visually and spatially Reaching a balance in relationship is a remarkable achievement of craftsmen."

Old Shitou said: "A learned person is a learned person. The stone scriptures at home are not as thorough as you. You have torn the window paper with a few words. Little Shitou, you should spend more time with Mr. Sun these days." study!"

Little Stone nodded quickly.

Elder Sun said to Old Shitou again: "I heard that several generations of your family have wanted to solve the mystery of the trumpets and drums at this gate. This time we brought a lot of equipment from the university, I believe it will be helpful."

Old Shitou said: "The ancestors of the family left some strange tools, which are not used in ordinary times. From the perspective of this gatehouse, I reckon it should have something to do with this stone drum, but I don't know what's inside them. structure, so it has been unable to break through, if you can figure out the internal structure of the trumpet drum this time, it will be of great help!"

Old Sun said in surprise: "Yo? If we can get out the internal structure, how sure are you that you can restore it?"

Old Shitou didn't dare to speak too much, and only said: "This can only be confirmed by seeing it with your own eyes. We have been tossing around for several generations. I really dare not say such big words!"

Sun Lao said: "Okay! Seek truth from facts! It's all about craftsmanship, this is the style of a craftsman! We originally planned to use 3D printing to restore it, but the material will be limited. If the two of you can restore it through stone carving , that would be great!"

After speaking, he turned his head and said to Wei Jingxiang: "We will open all night tonight, and try to let the two fellow villagers see the internal structure diagram tomorrow morning!"

That night, Mr. Sun and the others didn't go back to the long-term residence, so they went straight to work. Li Junge had no choice but to call Liu Sanwa and the others to bring food.

Several long ladders were erected in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, and Mr. Sun and Wei Jingxiang instructed his assistants to climb up and down to measure the dimensions.

After finishing all these, it was eight or nine o'clock, and many villagers and children gathered on the threshing ground, all of whom came to watch the excitement.

After removing the long ladder, Wei Jingxiang pulled Li Junge behind a notebook and said, "Erpi, come here, come here, I'll show you a western scene!"

Li Junge was also curiously sitting next to Wei Jingxiang, and Wei Jingxiang shouted: "Turn off the lights and turn on the holographic scanning device."

The surrounding lampposts went out with a "snap", and all the lights in the ancestral hall were turned off. When the scanning equipment was turned on, a blue light appeared at the bottom of the ancestral hall.

Wei Jingxiang tapped the keyboard, and the blue light began to move slowly on the gatehouse, from bottom to top.

First horizontally and then vertically, after going back and forth several times, a three-dimensional image of the gatehouse appeared on the computer screen.

"Hey! This thing is good!" Li Junge exclaimed.

Wei Jingxiang was very frightened: "This is a holographic scanning system developed by the academy. I have participated in it. How about it?"

Li Junge gave a thumbs up: "Bull!"

Wei Jingxiang said: "You can only scan the outline, and the details and hollow positions still have to be supplemented with manual data, but it has saved a lot of work."

After scanning, Wei Jingxiang and his assistant took out an ultrasonic generator that looked like a pistol, and began to search for holes in the horns and drums.

After finding the mouthpiece of Shi Hao, Wei Jingxiang "fired a shot" at the mouthpiece.

A water-like light spot appeared on the computer screen. It was a small spot at first, then gradually spread out and bent, and finally fixed.

Li Junge has been guarding in front of the computer screen, goosebumps all over his body now.

Several complicated spirals are intertwined with each other, and the spirals are connected by holes, forming a loop like vines intertwined.

Wei Jingxiang fired another shot from the exit, and the spot of light gradually curved forward and coiled from a large scattered area, and finally concentrated into a single spot of light.

A few more shots were fired back and forth. Wei Jingxiang called up the images each time he got a look, and exclaimed, "Damn it!"

Superimpose all the images together, and after careful adjustment, called up a holographic image of the stone number, scaled it to a suitable size and put it on the ultrasound image, raised his head and shouted: "Old Sun, Uncle Shishi, come and see , It's incredible!"

　Hahaha, I’ve been busy for a few days, and I’m back to normal today. I’m really an old dog who can’t learn new tricks. I’m in a hurry when I put it on the shelves. Isn’t it too late to ask for a monthly ticket now?Anyway, you are more familiar with the routine at this starting point than I am, everyone should give it to you, thank you Lao Zhou.
