Chapter 60 Challenge
Looking at this lacquerware, Wang Hua said affectionately, "That is the life that is given to it."

The most famous one is that Gu Kaizhi painted a golden chestnut Tathagata for Wagong Temple, with a smiling face and eyes that seem to be able to speak, and this Tathagata seems to be coming out.This Buddha statue attracted countless people to look at the painting, and soon raised millions of dollars for Wagong Temple.The most miraculous is Zhang Sengxuan of the Liang Dynasty, who painted four dragons on the Anle Temple in Jinling, but did not draw eyes.The tourist was surprised and insisted on letting Zhang draw his eyes.Zhang had no choice but to put his eyes on the two dragons. As a result, thunder and lightning flashed, and the two dragons flew straight to the sky on the auspicious clouds.

The latter statement is too exaggerated, but it is the same as what Wang Hua said about life.

Seeing the confidence on Wang Hua's face, Shopkeeper He rubbed his hands happily and said, "That's good, that's good."

Wang Hua said again: "You just have to know about this matter, and you must not make it public. Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

But Wang Hua obviously didn't mean his own, he pointed to the north with his finger.Shopkeeper He understands, this means that Hanlinzhai has invested a huge amount this time, and has taken the initiative to make such a big momentum, but once it finds out that it has failed, one can imagine the disappointment in its heart.

It's just that shopkeeper He looked at Wang Hua. In his heart, Wang Hua was like what Li Longji said, with a fairy air, and he was not fake to Princess Anle Li Longji and Di Renjie. Not to mention his talent, his character was even more commendable.But when he suddenly said this evil idea, he felt as if an eminent monk was preaching to everyone to save all sentient beings, but he suddenly pointed to a pretty little lady and said, "What are you listening to, if you don't answer back?" Go home and cook for my husband!"

This huge overhang almost caused Shopkeeper He to fall down.

Time flies like a shuttle, May has passed and entered June, the ground is covered with a layer of pagoda tree snow, and the wind blows, shaking the poor little figures one after another.

After more than 100 days and more than 1000 working days, the hard carving of this lacquerware is basically completed.Of course it will be a while before it ends.Wang Hua began to paint and decorate the statue.However, the lacquer is rarely used, mainly because of the gold-plated and inlaid techniques.

In addition, a craft in furniture-sticking yellow is used!
Except for some brush washers, bottles, and dishes, most of the lacquerware is associated with furniture, that is, it is most used on furniture.

The process of pasting yellow is a process that cooperates with lacquer art to make lacquerware more exquisite.But it is very complicated. First, take the yellow surface of the bamboo tube, turn it over, boil and press it, and then glue it to the lacquer tire to make utensils.When the yellow stickers develop to the highest height, the pattern is hollowed out on the pasted yellow stickers to expose the background color of the lacquer tire.In this way, it has the effect of carved lacquer and paper cutting.Of course, this craft did not officially appear until the Qing Dynasty.

This is what Wang Hua has repeatedly considered.

Because in this Dafa meeting, all the monks present are eminent monks, but they are only eminent monks, not Buddhas.Under normal circumstances, more than 7000 great monks are covered with golden light by using gold inlays.This approach is also possible, but when you think about it, it will feel a little tacky.

The reason why Li Longji said that Wang Hua has a fairy spirit is that he is not fake to the powerful.If he is like Song Zhiwen, for the sake of glory and wealth, he will do everything, and he will have no time to spit out any fairy spirit.The same is true for this lacquerware.It must be inlaid with gold and gold on the outside of the statue, but it is not a Buddha after all, so it will appear exaggerated.Of course it is not to curry favor with Tang Sanzang, who died 40 years earlier.Mainly in this way, it will make people feel extravagant for the sake of extravagance. In other words, it becomes tacky instead.

Therefore, the more than 7000 monks are covered with yellow bags as their clothes, which not only creates a stronger three-dimensional effect, but also has a thick and simple atmosphere!
Moreover, Wang Hua still paid attention to the use of color.For him, this is the best. He is a master of soft sculpture and a master of traditional Chinese painting.He used a dark blue color on the futon, which is also known as black lacquer in the world of lacquerware.Because the whole will be dominated by purple and gold, and the light of these two colors is very similar, which will cause visual fatigue.So, using a few ink blues on the statue revealing a little bit of my futon immediately makes the whole lacquer look brighter to the eye.

But you can only choose dark blue. If you choose sky blue, beautiful blue, peacock blue, and green blue, it is also terrible, because the blue is too bright and does not match the theme of the overall lacquerware, so this lacquerware will also fail.

For the lacquer painting below, Wang Hua is still mainly red, but with some black lacquer mixed in, and a new lacquer method - ice cracking technique is used again.

This was invented by Li Zhiqing, a master of lacquerware in the Qing Dynasty. He used black lacquer to draw natural ice cracks. After drying in the shade, he covered it with dark gray mung bean lacquer, dried in the shade again, and then rubbed it brightly.This kind of decoration is similar to the ice cracks of the famous Song Dynasty porcelain, Longquan kiln porcelain, very simple and lovely.Putting the same on these pictures will also make people feel the vicissitudes and gravity of Tang Sanzang's line of work.

This is the real background, which cannot be expressed with gems or gold.

Moreover, Wang Hua spent a lot of painstaking efforts to make this lacquerware perfect, and specially prepared a new kind of lacquer - Boluo lacquer.

This kind of lacquer was invented by Huizhou painters in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was made with ores such as turquoise, cinnabar, coral, stone yellow, blue veins blue, and cinnabar.Polo lacquer can make lacquerware more simple and elegant, but the craft of making Polo lacquer was lost during the Anti-Japanese War.It was not until the end of the 80s that lacquer master Yu Jinhai prepared it again.More than 20 years later, Wang Hua happened to get the formula of this lacquer.But I haven't tried it, and I didn't expect to bring it to this world for a test.

Wang Hua used this kind of polo lacquer instead of normal black lacquer.As for the inscriptions, it is easier to handle. The main thing is to use piled lacquer and carved lacquer to make each gold letter appear three-dimensional, and then fill it with gold and polish it.This is kung fu, Wang Hua must strive to write every word well and make soft sculptures well.

In fact, this piece of lacquerware, even if it is placed in the world of Wang Hua's previous life, it is the most top-notch lacquerware handicraft.

Seeing that the lacquerware is getting closer to completion day by day, even shopkeeper He is very confident.He also proudly told Wang Hua a news.Originally, not everyone in the backstage of Hanlin Zhai cared about it, but after Wang Hua's incident, all the people in Luoyang knew that this was a shop opened by the Wang family in Taiyuan.Not to mention, there were also people helping Hanlin Zhai to cheer and cheer, and there were many ordinary people in this group.After all, the Wang family has had a good reputation for hundreds of years.

But there are also many people cheering for Baolinzhai, not for the sake of shopkeeper He's posture, but for the sake of Wang Hua's good style and knowledge, and he is still a weak person.

But Hanlinzhai made a lot of noise this time, and sometimes deliberately invited people to visit this unformed lacquerware.All the visitors were frightened by the extravagance of this lacquerware. Some people say that this screen will emit bright brilliance even at night.After seeing this lacquerware, almost no one thought that Baolinzhai, or Wang Hua, had a chance of winning.

Having said that, shopkeeper He smiled triumphantly: "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Hehe."

Moreover, Hanlinzhai deliberately slowed down, waiting for Wang Hua's leader to complete the lacquerware, and compete in a ring competition to see whose lacquerware is more exquisite, so as to humiliate Wang Hua.

Wang Hua put down his knife, stood up and wiped his sweat with the corner of his clothes, and said to shopkeeper He: "Tell the people in Hanlinzhai that on the seventh day of July, when willow branches meet on the bridge of magpies, outside the White Horse Temple, lacquerware The day it was released."

Go ahead and challenge!
Isn't your lacquerware shining brightly at night?Then we challenge at night.

But in the Ming Dynasty, because Hanlinzhai is inlaid with a lot of gold, silver, jade and jewels, if you challenge at night, Baolinzhai will suffer even more.When Hanlinzhai heard the news, he would gladly agree.But the more it is under the dim light, the lacquerware will look more primitive.And this lacquerware background is a famous event in Buddhism.Now it is placed outside the White Horse Temple, which shows this atmosphere even more.

Wang Hua thought to herself, she wants to knock me down, and see if I won't kill you!
