God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1361 Ma Yijiao

After the Three Kingdoms Water Margin series is completed, only "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" remain among the four great masterpieces.

Compared with Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, which are historical and chivalrous, "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" are worth savoring carefully, especially "Dream of Red Mansions". The rise and fall of dynasties, the rise and fall of families, and many details such as love, marriage, history, humanities, architecture, food, etc.

Xu Jingxing felt that even if he was given his whole life, it would be difficult to thoroughly study the knowledge in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

As for "Journey to the West", at first glance it looks like an absurd novel of fairy tales or even fantasy, but the content in it is also worth pondering, especially the words, there are too many interesting things.

Of course, Xu Jingxing is not a scholar, and studying these things is just a random thought while reading.

For him, the greatest value of these two masterpieces is that there are too many stories and pictures in them that can be transferred to his works.

If it is really necessary to carve all the more famous stories in these two books into carvings, then he thinks it will take at least two to three years to complete, and he has to work every day without being lazy at all.

Especially "Dream of Red Mansions", the more he read this book, the more stories he felt in this book, not only the stories clearly told in words, but also the "blank spaces" that were not told in words.Therefore, he agrees with some red scholars, saying that the most exciting part of the book "Dream of Red Mansions" is the "blank space", which becomes more interesting the more you think about it.

What is blank space?

It is a commonly used technique in the field of traditional culture and art. For example, in the field of painting, many painters like to leave large areas of blank space. White.

In Xu Jingxing's impression, the best painting using blank space technique is Ma Yuan's "Fishing in the Cold River Alone", which is derived from Liu Zongyuan's "Jiang Xue".

Birds fly away in thousands of mountains, and people disappear in thousands of miles. The lone boat and hat are fishing alone in the cold river and snow.

This poem is very well written, and the lofty artistic conception can be called shocking the ancient and modern.

However, Ma Yuan's "Lonely Fishing in the Cold River" is not bad at all. There are only a few pens and inks in a painting, a small boat, an old man in a coir raincoat and a few water ripples, and the rest of the picture is a large blank.

But the most beautiful and moving artistic conception is also in the blanks of those large films. The entire artistic conception of the poem "Jiang Xue" is integrated into the large blanks, and the word "du" is vividly portrayed with the technique of leaving blanks.

This is how Ma Yuan got his nickname "Ma Yijiao".

So to put it bluntly, in terms of the use of blank space techniques, Ma Yuan's attainments are very high.

However, the blank space technique can be used not only in painting, but also in calligraphy, literature and other fields. In the field of literature, Liu Liubai technique is used well, and Cao Xueqin should have a place, because there are indeed too many stories in "Dream of Red Mansions". In addition to pen and ink, the content of these blanks ranges from politics to military affairs, people's livelihood, and the inside and outside of Jia's mansion, and even includes some seemingly insignificant details.

The problem is that it is a bit difficult to express those stories beyond words in a sculptural way.

Well, it's not a little difficult, it's very difficult.

Even Xu Jingxing could only start with the familiar stories, such as Bao Dai's first meeting, Dai Yu's burial of flowers, etc., and then move on to the deeper ones.

Of course, if you want to do sculpture, stories that are too sad or too annoying must not be done. Making them will only add to people's frustration. one time.

For example, the story "Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden" is festive, right?It was very festive, Grandma Liu, an old lady from the country, made Jia's family happy. It was almost the most relaxing and funny passage in the whole book "Dream of Red Mansions", but after careful consideration, it was very interesting. It can be found that almost everyone in the Jia family has a different attitude towards Grandma Liu.

And Grandma Liu herself is also not simple, the clown-like attitude is obviously intentional, and the size is very well grasped, although the words are vulgar, they are not annoying at all.

Can ordinary people do this?
It can't be done, even modern people, most of them can't do it, but Grandma Liu has done it. This old lady is definitely on the throne of "No. In the image, the image of Grandma Liu is among the best.

Of course, this is well shaped by the author.

So how did Xu Jingxing portray Grandma Liu's ability in this area and everyone's attitude towards Grandma Liu in the Jia family?

It hurts to think about it.

what to do?Of course, I asked the netizens for help.

One person counts the short, and three counts the long. There are more than three netizens here, and there are 300 million people.

"God Xu, you are embarrassing us illiterates!"

"Damn it, you actually asked us such a simple question? You don't even know that we can?"

"... There is a feeling of being valued, so cool!"

"It turns out that God Xu also didn't know what to do hahahahaha."

"What are you waiting for? Laugh, hahahahaha."

"You guys who are gloating at other people's misfortunes are so disgusting, hahahahahaha."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

"Although I really want to answer, but I really don't know how to do it hahahahaha."

"A group of fools, why are you giggling? Hahahahaha."

"No, is each of you willing to answer seriously? This is a good opportunity to be rewarded by God Xu."

"Although I really want Xu Shen's prize, I haven't even watched the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions."

"Your Majesty, the concubine really can't do it."

"I think there is a more classic scene, that is, when the family entertains Grandma Liu for dinner."

"Hey, don't say it, it's really true. The dinner table really reflects the world's sophistication, and there are too many things to ponder in every move."

Well, there are still people who can get to the point, but as a person who has read the Red Chamber many times, how could Xu Jingxing not know the classic scene of Grandma Liu being entertained by everyone when she entered the Grand View Garden for the second time, "Old Liu, Lao Liu's food is as big as a cow, The classic quote of eating an old sow and not looking up" was said by Grandma Liu at this banquet, and everyone in the Grand View Garden laughed heartily with one sentence.

How about the original story?

"Everyone burst out laughing. Shi Xiangyun couldn't hold it anymore, and spit out a mouthful of rice. Lin Daiyu lost her breath from laughing, and leaned on the table. Oh, Baoyu rolled into Jiamu's arms, and Jiamu hugged Baoyu with a smile and cried. "Heart", Mrs. Wang smiled and pointed at Sister Feng, but she couldn't speak. Aunt Xue couldn't hold it anymore. She sprayed tea on Tanchun's skirt, and the rice bowl in Tanchun's hand was on Yingchun's body. Xichun Leaving the seat, she pulled her nurse to rub her intestines. Everyone in the ground stooped and bowed their backs, and some hid and squatted laughing, and some suppressed their laughter and came up to change clothes for her sister."

Look at this laughing group, with different poses, actions and demeanors. Just portraying these pictures can become a very classic work, because ten people are included in these simple hundreds of words. The working demeanor of the ten people when they laughed was completely different.

In addition, the dishes on the dinner table, the table and chairs used, the clothes of each person, and the buildings in the background are all worthy of a close-up.

If all these details are portrayed, it will be complete, but the theme will inevitably be a bit scattered, but if any part is ignored, it doesn't really matter.

So Xu Jingxing felt conflicted.

But at this moment, he saw a bullet screen: "God Xu, grasp the key point. The key point is not the food, the buildings, or even the people in the Grand View Garden, but the rise and fall of the Jia Mansion. Just grasp this point, and other details It’s all embellishments, the more embellishments there are, the deeper the main points will be sold, doesn’t this feeling come out all at once?”

Xu Jingxing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly found the audience's ID: "This friend named 'Dahan Xiaoqi Lieutenant Liu' is right, but can you explain it in more detail?"

The netizen got excited when he was named, and first posted a sentence, "Fuck, I was really named," and then said: "Anchor, the rise and fall of Jia's mansion is one of the main lines of the Red Mansion, even a very important main line, almost in the text Everyone in the family is running around this line. Although Grandma Liu is an inconspicuous person, she is also a key person on this line. Let alone the matter of saving Qiaojie later, just entering the Grand View Garden twice is enough for her Food and clothing expenses and other aspects reflect the prosperity of the Jia Mansion."

I have to say that the big Han Xiaoqi Xiaowei Liu did research on "Dream of Red Mansions", and he can easily read the contents of the book without looking up information. Although the level of interpretation is not as deep as some red scholars, it is far beyond ordinary readers. Moreover, the viewpoint of interpretation is impartial and neutral, which is very rare.

After adding prestige friends, the two chatted more happily and felt a sense of sympathy for each other. Then I realized that this is just a Chinese teacher in an ordinary middle school in a township, and he just likes to read books.

After the exchange, Xu Jingxing said with a smile: "Old Liu, give me an address, and I will give you a big gift."

"Don't worry about that. Don't treat me as an ordinary audience. I just like all things with cultural connotations. Otherwise, I wouldn't watch your live broadcast. What's more, the things I said are mostly just picking up people's teeth, and it's nothing special."

"That's what I said, but after all, it gave me an idea, and this idea is to be used to sell money. I have to express it, otherwise I will not dare to ask you for help in the live broadcast room in the future."

"Well then, thank you very much."

"You're welcome, let me keep a secret about the gift, and you'll know what it is when you receive it. I won't let you down, haha."

"Then I'll wait at the school," Lao Liu lived in the school, so he left the address of the school.

After finishing communicating with Lao Liu, Xu Jingxing started to get busy.
