A journey of "之 之" in a stone

What should I go through a stone from the depths of Dashan to the writer's book case?

On May 30, the reporter walked into the Shichang Wanshi Museum of Laoshan Town, Shexian County to witness the journey of "砚 5" with stones.

A sharp knife "dances" on the smooth and skinny vermiculite. Between the hooks and one, the landscape characters, flowers, birds, fish and insects are lifelike. Zhao Shixia, the inheritor of "Zhao's Condor", is making a refined carving on the vermiculite, or turning, or frustration, or undulating, or cutting, or connecting. "Dance", cooked, smooth, natural and vivid, stone dandruff splashed, the pattern has been staggered on the stone.

Make a good pyramid, good stones are essential. Due to "Shi Jian and moist, greasy and warm, strange and beautiful, clear and healthy", they enjoyed the reputation of "砚". For one side of the vermiculite, Zhao Shixia ran through various towns and cities in the county and cities in the county, and tapped each rough with his own hands, and often ran from early morning to late at night. In the eyes of Zhao Shixia, the Tables have life, from stone picking to phase stones, from design to carving, from polishing to waxing, to the end, and in the process of "shaping", she has long talked to Langtai for a long time, and she has a dialogue with Yantai. The Tongtai communicated, and even hugged the Taitai to sleep.

"It is not simply picking a stone to make a puppet platform. There are a lot of choice of puppets." Zhao Shixia pointed to a pile of stone that has not been cleaned and covered with yellow mud. The hardness of the stone Mohli needs to be around 3.5, and the hardness is too high, so it is not advisable to lower the ink.

Different from the production technology of other tattoos, Zhao Shixia will integrate the cultural characteristics of the lame in the design based on the unique shape of each stone and the idea of ​​the work, and give different meanings to make different shapes of the puppet platform. From the selection of materials, plastic surgery, design, to painting, carving, polishing, polishing, waxing, etc., a total of dozens of procedures to one side of the square.

"No two sides of the puppets are exactly the same. The rough stones are different, and the shape and quality of them are unique. Each party is unique. The puppets made by the vermiculite have their own characteristics. You are like floating 砚 砚, easy to produce, and more golden lines; Wen Yan is orange and yellow, winter moon is not ice; Such as 锉, ink like oil '. "Zhao Shixia introduced that in 2019, she was named the representative inheritor of the county -level intangible cultural heritage. Her works have been awarded repeatedly in the Chinese Art Expo and Excellent Eagle Division Evaluation Exchange. At the same time, in order to improve his technology, Zhao Shixia joined the Lu Yan Association and won the gold award and silver award of major art fairs across the country, and won the honorary title of "Jixian craftsman".

In the furnace of time, a stone waited for hundreds of millions of years before turning over the mountains. It fell into a positive fruit from the hands of the master, and finally fell in front of the scholar's window, accompanied by the people to write and painting for a lifetime. "It is not a stone, it has life. Without the platform, the records, writing, and calligraphy and calligraphy creation in China cannot be realized." Zhao Shixia said that the pen will write bald, the ink will be done, and the paper will be used up. And the only platform can surpass time and history, and it is long -lasting. The literati loves the love, and loves the unwavering accompaniment, and the love is even more quiet in front of the desk.

Nature has given this land to the rough stone, and the ancestors make full use of and leave the precious skills of handmade crickets. It is a beautiful story, I want to share with more people! "Zhao Shixia said passionately.
