I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 96

Le... stab...

Le... stab...

The wood wool is rolled and cut away layer by layer from the main body.

The sound of lightly carved wood not only rang in Wang Ge's ears, but also seemed to be a strange rhythm that could soothe the hearts of every woodcarver.

"Huh!" She blew away the sawdust, squeezed the carving knife tightly, and continued to carve along the edge of the reverse word "Ji" on the wood block, leaving only the strokes of "Ji" so that it protruded from the surface of the wood block.

The wood is duli wood, which was purchased from a carpenter shop for five yuan the day before yesterday, and Wang Ge deliberately picked up a few scraps discarded by the craftsman, because he only picked a few pieces, and the sub-principal didn't bother with her.

There are also Duli pears in the wild mountains of Jiashe Village. Because the trunk is hard and difficult to cut, the neighbors of the village cut down its thorny branches and put them on the top of the wall.

After the word "jiu" was carved, the knuckles of her right hand were already sore, so she replaced it with a new piece of wood and carved the second word "jiu" with her left hand.

There was a branch of Wang Nanxing's family in the previous life, which only inherited the traditional wood carving movable type printing technology and the promotion of intangible cultural heritage.The most difficult thing in woodblock movable type printing is to be able to write Song style and reverse characters.Even the juniors of the Wang family who did not inherit the technique of movable type printing, such as Wang Nanxing, had to practice Song-style characters from the beginning of typing, in order to prevent this craft from being lost day by day.

Song typeface is also called Ming typeface.This font was not invented in the Song Dynasty, but was created in the mid-Ming Dynasty with the development of woodblock printing, in order to be more suitable for woodblock lettering.Because it imitated the block version of the Song Dynasty, it was called both "Song style" and "Ming style" by later generations.

Wang Ge currently has no idea of ​​"creating" movable type printing hundreds of years in advance. What is the use of advancing it?The current papermaking technology in the Jin Dynasty is still very backward. Even a rich family like the Xie family still uses moso bamboo to make paper in Feiliufeng's paper craftsman's shop, which is called "earth paper" just like paper made from straw and hemp. ", cannot be used for writing at all.

So she is busy now, purely because she is in Nanshan, near the carpenter's shop, and the expensive duli wood and all kinds of tool knives are complete, so she can quickly carve a set of movable type wooden blocks of "Ji Ji Zhang" and "Guang Ya" for her own use. I keep two sets of family heirlooms.

Le... stab...

Le... stab...

In the woodcarver's ears, the sound of wood carving is far more moving than the music of the piano.

Song style characters are characterized by thin horizontal lines and thick vertical lines, and strong footwork.

Duli wood is the most suitable wood for engraving Song style characters. It has high hardness, fine wood, and straight grain. When cutting along the grain, the fingers must be retracted and released all the time.

"Huh!" During the engraving period, Wang Ge had to keep moving away from the candlelight to blow off the sawdust, and then get closer to the candlelight. Once he couldn't see clearly, if he engraved a little bit wrong, the whole block would be useless.Sometimes when I got closer, I smelled a sticky smell, only to find that the scattered hair was burnt.

Tee, Tee.

Bai He knocked on the door again.

Just as Wang Ge finished carving the character "gu", he put down the carving knife and opened the door.Bai He tilted his head at her, so innocent and elegant!

She rolled her eyes with a smile.

Immediately afterwards scolded: Beast!
No matter how spiritual and elegant she is, she can't snatch and fly away the piece of wood she just carved with one mouthful!

A total of four characters "ji, ji, qi, gu" were carved, and the strokes of "gu" were more!

"I, I... Oh!" She couldn't shout out loud at night.

robber!Let her be busy for more than half an hour.

Not long after Wang Ge returned to the house in depression, the cunning white crane rode on Xingyue and returned to the sky above the abode. It circled proudly and gracefully in a spiral shape, and plunged down again, landing in a fenced yard.

There is not only one fenced courtyard here, but three, arranged in the word "pin", about a hundred feet away from Qinquan Water Pavilion.

In each courtyard, there are three bamboo houses, which are also arranged in the word "pin".From the outside, the bamboo house looks like a simple bamboo and wood structure, but in fact it is still a board structure with double-layered bamboo walls and sandwiched soil.

Bai He approached a door, raised his paw, and pawed at the door, the door was not latched, and when he opened it, he came to the owner Xie Youru.

The four of Xie Youru, Guo Fuzi, Zuo Fuzi, and Bian Wangzhi rarely get together and have a good talk.The white crane loosened its beak and threw the piece of wood it picked up between the four of them.

"Chi Xiao..." As soon as Xie Youru raised his voice, Bai He knew that he had made a mistake, and immediately turned around and ran out of the house. "This evil." He reprimanded in a low voice, got up and closed the door.

Guo Fuzi picked up the wooden block. At first he looked at the smooth side, but he noticed that his fingertips were abnormal, so he turned it over and said "huh" in surprise.It's not a surprise, who hasn't rubbed the inscription?He was surprised that just as he straightened the word in his mind, he found that the font was square and sharp, which was a font he had never seen before.

When Xie Youru returned, Guo Fuzi had already used the ashes from the nearby brazier to cover the protrusions of the word "gu", and then pressed hard on the white linen paper.Four forty-year-old figures with extensive knowledge of history, head to head at this moment, are all staring at this one-inch-sized wooden block as if they are rare.

"Brother Confucianism, Chi Xiao... is it tame?" Master Guo asked.

Master Zuo: "Feed it two more pieces of meat tomorrow, if he doesn't listen, three pieces!"

Bian Wangzhi said "Hey": "Nonsense, Chi Xiao can only eat some fish and shrimp."

"Look, you guys are in such a hurry, I didn't even see what it was..." Xie Youru stretched out his hand while talking, and found nothing.

Master Guo had already stuffed the wooden block into his sleeve pocket: "It's getting late, and I have to teach tomorrow. I'll go back first, ha ha."

Master Zuo pointed at his back, and said with a smile, "This man is always so stingy! Huh? Eh? Guo Jiao! Isn't it my lecture tomorrow?"

Early the next morning, the ground was lightly covered with thin snow, and it was unknown when the snow would fall or stop.

wind disease.

Qinquan Water Pavilion, behind and on both sides of the position where the left master sat, the child laborers used thick felt to wrap around the pillars to block the cold wind, so that the wind could not blow to the position of the master.

Wang Ge and other disciples were also fine, because the spectators outside the pavilion basically blocked the windshield tightly.In the cold weather, there were not fewer but more spectators. They probably thought that the weather was bad today and they could rush over to take a good seat.

This also shows how sincere and yearning the ancients were for reading.Even if the observers are a little far away, even if they can't hear the master's teaching clearly, they can at least hear the eleven disciples reciting in unison.

"Chu, Zai, Shou, Ji, Zhao, Zu, Yuan, Tai, Chu, Luo, Quanyu, Shiye..."

After Mr. Zuo started his lecture, he said that if he wanted to know "Guang Ya", he had to read "Erya" first, so Wang Ge and other disciples stretched their necks and cried out for the first chapter "Shi Gu" of "Erya".

Exegesis and exegesis are exegesis.

Explain the meaning of words in popular language, which is "training".

Interpreting the ancient language in contemporary language is called "诂".

It was not until the Han Dynasty that the two disciplines of exegesis began to be used together.

Master Zuo raised his hand: "Stop. Now let's explain the characters Er and Ya for the disciples. The character Er can be traced back to the Qi Wen of the Yin Ruins." He tapped the bamboo ruler three times.

The three child servants walked to the left side of the front of the case. The three raised their arms and raised a pole horizontally. The man in the middle raised a triangular spearhead.The three also raised their arms and legs, making very peculiar movements.

Master Zuo: "What they formed is the word 'er' in the text of the Yin Ruins. Now it can only be defined as the origin of the word 'er' with this shape and structure, so what is the meaning of this text..."

This teaching method is beyond Wang Ge's expectation, and it is really impressive!She quickly engraved the structure and shape of the three children's pendulums on the bamboo slips.

It was also difficult for these child laborers, a three-year-old student in the front row suddenly got up and scratched a child laborer's creak.

"Pfft!" Again, the female disciples in the middle of the second row (today's red clothes and red clothes) burst out laughing, laughing so hard that they clapped their stomachs.

Master Zuo raised the bamboo ruler to scare the youngest disciple back.The three child servants saluted and withdrew.

　Dulimu: The original meaning of the word Du refers to Duli (also called Tangli).There are thorns on the branches of this kind of tree, and the ancients used it as a fence to prevent strangers from entering. "Hanshu" has the word "Dumen guards himself".
