Artists of the national tradition start from the puppet show

Chapter 71 The Challenge of the Miniature Carver
In an old house on the outskirts of Beijing, a middle-aged man in his 50s wearing glasses was frowning, watching the scolding battle that was happening on Weibo.

Luo Fang, a figure like Taishan Beidou in the miniature sculpture world, his works are deeply loved by collectors at home and abroad.

Currently, he serves as the vice president of the China Micro Sculpture Association.

It's a small house, messy and barely tidied up.

Here is his studio.

Every day, he almost has to stay in this studio for seven or eight hours, and this stay lasts for ten years.

In this seemingly messy studio, there are all kinds of books and tools about art and sculpture.

All kinds of tools, knives, raw materials and works related to miniature carving are scattered on the workbench or cabinet by him.

Since he was in his 20s, Luo Fang came into contact with the micro-carving industry and was immediately attracted.

After 20 years of tempering and hard work, we have our current status and strength.

However, Luo Fang has never stopped his footsteps, constantly learning and improving, so that he can innovate and constantly improve his skills.

Originally, he was going to complete a valuable order today, but just as he was about to start, his cell phone rang suddenly.

He was very dissatisfied because during his work, few people would bother him.

However, seeing that the call was from his apprentice, he could only suppress his anger and answer the phone.

Luo Fang felt his scalp tingle when he learned that someone in the micro-carving world actually provoked that Lin Mu.

The name Lin Mu has become a taboo in the cultural circle!
A vice president of the Calligraphy Society, just because he questioned Lin Mu's integrity, was directly dismissed by Lin Mu and resigned, and his life's hard work was in vain!
At that time, Luo Fang naturally also appeared on the scene, and he was also one of the 100 judges.

At that time, he was also shocked by Lin Mu's amazing and brilliant calligraphy.

You must know that many miniature sculptures need to be completed in a square inch, and the most basic thing is to write in a square inch.

Therefore, calligraphy is also a very important skill for a miniature engraver.

Luo Fang's calligraphy is naturally good, otherwise, he wouldn't have been hired as a judge.

However, Luo Fang has always been critical of the staff within the Micro Sculpture Association.

Because most of the miniature sculptors now pay great attention to skills, delve into various techniques, and leave the basic skills behind.

The fonts carved by many microcarvers can only be said to be eye-catching, and they can only deceive those laymen who do not understand calligraphy.

But in the eyes of experts, once they see this font, they will have a very low evaluation of this miniature sculpture.

Therefore, this is also the current microcarving industry. Most of the works of microcarvers are mainly based on real objects, and they rarely engrave handwriting on their works!

However, this situation is a very big harm to the entire micro-sculpture industry.

After all, text, as the carrier of Chinese civilization, is an indispensable part of micro-carving. If there is no text in micro-carving in the future, then the end of the micro-carving industry has come!
And when he saw this miniature sculptor called "Fang Cunjian" on Weibo, he even boasted that Lin Mu's miniature sculptures were entry-level pediatrics, which almost made Luo Fang spit out a mouthful of old blood!

How many dishes, drink like this!

In Luo Fang's eyes, although Lin Mu's micro-sculpture technique is simple, Lin Mu has integrated his own face calligraphy into the micro-sculpture. Looking at the calligraphy like a work of art, Luo Fang is a little intoxicated by it!
And when he saw this "Square Inch" posting his own video like a treasure, Luo Fang glanced at it, and felt a kind of embarrassment with his toes on the ground.

This is a suicide attack!
However, Luo Fang had a magical feeling when he saw a large group of people who didn't understand why they started to support "Fang Cun Jian".

What the hell is going on in this world? Has everyone already started to discriminate between smells and smells?
Before Luo Fang could come up with a countermeasure, he realized that Lin Mu's counterattack was coming!

As expected, Lin Mu was indeed an old onmyoji when he opened his mouth.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly stunned the entire micro-sculpture world!
Luo Fang felt a little flustered, after all, he had seen how powerful Lin Mu was.

The techniques of micro-carving are both difficult and simple.

When Luo Fang watched Lin Mu's video just now, he felt that Lin Mu's level of miniature sculpture was definitely more than that.

The talent of this young man really made him incomprehensible.

The first-class calligraphy in the world, and the level of micro-carving made him uncertain.

In front of the calligraphy interface, the microcarving world is the younger brother, and even the boss of the calligraphy world bows his head in front of Lin Mu. He, the vice president of the microcarving association, has no confidence to fight against Lin Mu!
Just as he was about to publish a reconciliation Weibo, on the "Fang Cun Jian" Weibo, a sharp Weibo made Luo Fang stunned!

"Haha, I know that you are good at calligraphy, and you have turned over the vice president of a calligraphy association, but micro-carving is not calligraphy. Calligraphy is just a side effect in micro-carving. If you have the ability, you can show other abilities. I don’t bully you either, you choose the content of the miniature carvings, how about an online duel between the two of us? @我真不是未士师”

As soon as this Weibo post came out, Luo Fang knew it was over!
Luo Fang deleted all the microblogs he had edited.

Luo Fang picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number of his apprentice.

"Xiao Wu, who is this 'Fang Cun Jian'?"

Luo Fang's third apprentice, Chen Zhenwu hesitated a few times, and then whispered, "Master, he is the grandson of the president, Zhou Fangcun!"

When Luo Fang heard the news, the blood in his heart suddenly cooled down, and he couldn't help sighing, as if he was ten years older.

Zhou Fangcun, 27 years old this year, is the new chairman of the Micro-carving Association. His micro-carving skills are good. Although he is a little young, his father is Zhou Zhipeng, the president of the Micro-carving Association.

Luo Fang has always been quite critical of this young man, because it was he who set off a wave of "abandoning words and focusing on real objects" within the Micro Sculpture Association.

Many young people are very convinced by this chairman.

After all, micro-carving characters, for young people, they simply can't calm down to learn calligraphy, let alone integrate calligraphy into micro-carving.

And as long as you have ideas and techniques, you can make refreshing micro-carving works.

This kind of work is more sought after in the market, and the price is higher, so young people put more energy into this kind of work!
