Chapter 274 A Grandmaster?
Su Pan happily played with the seal. Xu Zhen next to him analyzed with envious expression: "Looking at the texture, it should be an extremely rare frozen field yellow, which is the best among the field yellow. It is known as the gold among the field yellow. It has a price but no market, and it is hard to find a thousand gold.
What's more, Lao Su's craftsmanship is the best in the world. The carved sika deer is lifelike, especially those eyes. If you look closely, those eyes are not only not empty, but are extremely spiritual, as if they can see through people's hearts... Hum?"
Xu Zhen said, his eyes suddenly changed, and then suddenly said, "Su Pan, show me the seal!"
Su Pan was unclear, but hesitated and handed the seal to Xu Zhen directly.
Xu Zhen is not Fatty Yu. Perhaps because he is a civil servant, Xu Zhen has a steady and capable temperament, and looks extremely reliable, so Su Pan still trusts Xu Zhen very much.
Xu Zhen took the seal, then got up and walked to the windowsill, adjusted the angle, and aimed the seal just at the sunshine outside.
The soft sunlight shone through the glass window on the crystal clear seal. However, the next moment, the seal suddenly changed, which made everyone present stunned.
I saw that the originally oily seal turned into a colorful color under the sunlight, and the oily sika deer also turned into a colorful fairy deer.
Not only that, as the sun shines, a circle of colorful halos is reflected around the colorful fairy deer, which makes the colorful fairy deer particularly sacred.
Finally, perhaps it was because of the dizziness of time, or perhaps it was the principle of refraction of sunlight. As everyone looked at it, they suddenly found that the fairy deer seemed to be moving, as if she was elegantly bathing in the sunlight, emitting a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere!
"This... I must be dreaming!" Fatty Yu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and murmured.
"Is this too beautiful, right?"
"It's incredible!"
"It's a miracle!"
The girls were shocked one by one, and their eyes widened one by one.
Not to mention them, even Su Pan was shocked and looked dumbfounded. He was obviously numbed by the huge surprise!
After a while, Xu Zhen's arm became sore, he took the seal back with an unfulfilled desire, and then returned it to Su Pan reluctantly.
Su Pan took it carefully, and the smile on his face could not stop.
Fatty Yu was really jealous when watching, but his jealous expression was gone.
His expression just now was just a simple joke. He and Su Pan are enemies and are used to laughing at each other.
But in fact, Fatty Yu was very calm. Although he was also envious, he had no desire to covet. Instead, he would bless him.
It's just that the way of blessing is very special.
"Damn it, you've got a bargain again! Humph!"
Su Pan got the advantage and was too lazy to talk, just caring about being foolish.
"This is a rare treasure!" Xu Zhen shook his head, then suddenly turned his head to look at Su Chen, with a serious expression: "Old Su, your carving skills have reached the level of the master, right?"
Su Chen was stunned, and then asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
The girls also looked over, their eyes full of gossip!
After whining out, Xu Zhen solemnly said: "my country has associations and organizations for various folk crafts, not to mention extremely important skills such as carving. These associations actually have a grading standard for their respective skills. Generally speaking, this standard is often divided into primary, intermediate, advanced and master!
However, there are no clear standards for this classification, and it is basically judged by humans, so there are inevitable errors.
In addition, Chinese people value age and experience very much, so although they are at the same level of master level, young people may be designated as advanced or even intermediate level, and are known as polishing and training. Older people may have a little worse skill than master level, but for their rich experience, they may also be promoted to master level in an extraordinary way."
“This is too unfair!”
A girl muttered in a low voice.
Xu Zhen was not annoyed when he heard this, but instead explained with a smile: "There is no way, this is the society of human relationships, this is reality. And historical experience has proved that young people are often energetic and are often impulsive due to lack of experience. Therefore, for young people, polishing more is not a bad thing!
Of course, this kind of thing also varies from person to person, and from person to person. What I am talking about is a common phenomenon!”
Most of the people here are young people. Even the oldest Xu Zhen is only 28 years old, so everyone is definitely uncomfortable with what Xu Zhen said, but they all know that this is the fact, so they did not refute it.
"Brother Zhen, the evaluation you just mentioned seems to be without a master level!" Fatty Yu said.
Xu Zhen nodded. "This is exactly what I want to say next. I once visited an old man from the master level of the carving world and talked about skill classification with him.
I still remember what the old man said at that time. The old man said that these so-called grading actually have no fixed standards. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than setting a standard, giving young people a goal, giving them a goal, and giving them a direction to work hard, that's all.
But if you really want to talk about grading, it is really difficult to judge. The old man said that there are many factors that affect the carving skills. The sculptor's skills, status, eyesight, hands and even luck are all one of the factors that affect carving. The most important one is actually a flash of inspiration in the sculptor's mind.
This inspiration is the love and flowers in the poet's heart, and the water, moon and rivers in the eyes of painters. With it, the works of the sculptor have a soul. Once it is available, even the first-class sculptor who is just starting out may carve master-level works.
So this rating is very inaccurate. Since it is inaccurate, there is no so-called absolute fairness."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized something.
Xu Zhen paused and continued: "But everything is unexpected. The old man said that any craft or research reaches its peak will enter a world-recognized state that cannot be refuted!
That is the so-called master level who turns decay into magic in the legend!”
"This..." Everyone looked at each other.
Fatty Yu touched the tip of his nose and said, "Why do I sound so mysterious?"
Xu Zhen shook his head. "It's not mysterious at all. In fact, this state has existed since ancient times, and many people have reached this state.
For example, the saint Confucius, the saint of calligraphy, the saint of calligraphy, the saint of poetry, the saint of poetry, Wu Daozi, etc., these predecessors are all those who have successfully cultivated a certain profession or skill to the peak. Poetry, calligraphy, literature and painting have been transformed into magic in their hands.
The old man said that mortals below the master level are imitating miracles and copying miracles! And the master can create miracles!"
