God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 211

After eating and paying the bill, the waiter looked at the bare dishes with eyes like seeing a ghost. He probably had never seen someone who could eat like Xu Jingxing, especially Xu Jingxing's figure was still so standard.

Being able to eat but not get fat is so enviable.

Xu Jingxing didn't have this kind of self-awareness, he wandered around the streets of Pengcheng happily and with peace of mind, which could be regarded as digestion.

The two of them originally planned to use the afternoon to go to some famous scenic spots, but after checking, there seemed to be no famous scenic spots in the urban area, but one of them caught his attention, and after checking, he said to An Xin: " Go, find a good place, you must go and see it, otherwise it would be a pity."

"Master, what attraction?"

"Hehehe, you'll know when you go, let's go, drive there, that place is next to Yunlong Lake in the city center," Xu Jingxing smiled mysteriously.

Arrived by car, stopped at the parking lot, pointed to the simple and ancient building in front of the mountain, and asked, "Do you know me?"

An Xin blinked her eyes, and read out each word, "Pengcheng Han Portrait Stone Art Museum?" She still didn't dare to confirm it, because the brushwork of these words was slightly abstract, and even Xu Jingxing didn't know what it was. What kind of brushwork, but it is quite consistent with the style of this art museum, but there are three characters that are not easy to recognize.

The first one is "painting", which uses Lianbi characters, which is what people often call cursive script. If you don't have a certain understanding of calligraphy, you may really misread it.

The second is the character "Shi". This character is simple, with only a few strokes, but this character uses a variant character, similar to Xiaozhuan, so it looks more like a "hou" character at first glance.

The third one is the character "Yi", which is the most complicated character. It uses traditional characters, and it is also traditional cursive script, so it is difficult to identify individual characters.

You must know that An Xin just graduated from high school, and has never been exposed to this kind of knowledge before. In addition, the "Portrait Stone of Han Dynasty" itself is a relatively unpopular existence, so it is really possible to admit a mistake.

However, after all, An Xin has been with him for so many days, and has been practicing calligraphy recently. Although he is still copying "Cao Quan Bei" to lay the foundation, he has been listening to him all day long, and there is nothing to be proud of when he recognizes these words.

But he still boasted, "Not bad, there is progress, I thought you would mispronounce one or two words."

An Xin blushed coyly and said, "Actually, I also guessed based on the context."

"Hahaha, it's not easy to guess right. Let's go in and have a look. It's good for you and me. I didn't have a chance before. I can only look at pictures on the Internet. Now I can finally get close Check it out," he said with a laugh.

"Master, what kind of Han Dynasty stone is really so magical? What is it? A stele? Or a sculpture?" An Xin asked curiously.

"Well, there are stone tablets, stone carvings, and petroglyphs. To put it bluntly, they are portraits carved on stones, which mainly reflect the life, humanities, history, and natural scenes of the Han Dynasty and before the Han Dynasty."

"That's right, but why do you say that I am good for you?"

"Hey, this is a long story. To make a long story short, the carriers that can be passed down from the Han Dynasty to the present, except for a small amount of jade, gold, ceramics, and a smaller amount of bamboo slips, are very few that have been preserved in paper and silk. Only stones can last for thousands of years, and the words and images carved on stones are the most direct reflection of the society at that time. If you want to study the various things at that time, studying the stone portraits at that time is the most authentic and effective means.”

"Of course, we are not experts in that field, and we don't study the society, life, and history of the Han Dynasty. Let's just look at how the ancients made sculptures 2000 years ago, and see what the artistic attainments of those ancients were. Let’s look at the difference between the carving style of the Han Dynasty and the present, if we can see the clues, it will definitely help us in carving.”

"Come on, let's take a look at this stele first, don't look at the introduction, can you tell what kind of story this pattern tells?" After entering, Xu Jingxing stood still in front of a stone stele, blocking the introduction beside him and asked peace of mind.

An Xin looked at it seriously for a long time, then shook her head, "Master, don't embarrass me, I know I haven't studied this aspect before."

"Haha, I'm not embarrassing you. Don't say you haven't learned this content, and I haven't learned it. Except for graduate students who specialize in this area, the rest of the people have never learned it. Understanding these things mainly depends on the usual It can be regarded as a kind of miscellaneous learning, and the school will never teach you these things."

"Huh? So, master, do you know?"

"Of course, if I don't know, how can I think about you?"

"Tell me quickly, I really don't understand these things, and it feels very strange. Obviously, the carving technique is very simple, the simplest bas-relief technique, but there is an indescribable feeling."

Xu Jingxing nodded, then shook his head again, "You're only right. This technique is simple, and it's also a relief, but to be precise, it's called ground relief. Of course, the principle is the same as the bas-relief we make, but in the stone carving industry It’s all called that, but now there are fewer people who pay attention to this point, and they are all called bas-relief.”

"That's it, then it's called a relief sculpture, hehe, master, do I have gained more knowledge?"

"Of course it counts. How did the experience and background come from? It's such a little bit of accumulation. It may not be used now, but when it is needed, it can be said without hesitation. That is knowledge. In the eyes of others, It’s the epitome of knowledge.”

"So it's so simple, then I want to be a knowledgeable expert like you, Master," An Xin urged him with a smile, "Master, tell me about this stone carving."

"Okay." Xu Jingxing cleared his throat, but he didn't answer directly, but continued to ask, "Talk about the structure and structure of this stone painting first, and follow the methods I taught you."

An Xin stuck out her tongue, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, Master, you can't hit my palm."

"Go ahead."

"Hee hee," An Xin grinned, and replied solemnly: "This picture is divided into upper and lower layers. There are three characters in the lower layer, a small cart and a bird. It seems that a person is pushing the cart to the other two. I asked for directions." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xu Jingxing, saw Xu Jingxing nodding, and then continued: "The upper level, there are three, isn't it right, two, two and a half characters?"

Speaking of this, An Xin felt happy, "Master, why does this person look so strange? He looks like a human, but also an animal. One has wings, and the other has long ears..."
