Lao Jing was actually very happy and was in a good mood. He opened the drawer and took out the Italian return seals that Wan Changsheng gave him one by one on the table. It can be seen that they have carefully taken care of: "Most materials are average, but these are good. From ancient times to the present, there are more people going out of the southeast coast, and many people have lost their maritime trade abroad. I have kept these pieces and polished them. You can bring them with you. If there is a suitable opportunity, you can carve them and send them to others."

While saying that, he was also busy with other drawers: "There are a few more here, you should carry a few good prints with you. Do you know what I mean? Bei'er has a face..."

He is an authentic Lao Pingjing native. He talks affectionately to his apprentice and occasionally has a Tianjin accent.

Wan Changsheng was definitely moved by the nagging of how he helped his apprentice prepare all kinds of small things like a father, but he said, "With your accent, I suddenly thought that Wang Wei seemed from the north. Did you say that when he recited poetry, he missed his family much during the holidays?"

Lao Jing was stunned for a moment, hahahaha laughed wildly!

Gao Yunye looked at this side, but Su Munan still lowered her head and turned a blind eye in the thread-bound book.

The old man was so happy that he kept patting his apprentice's shoulder, and he couldn't breathe. "You...you'd better come here. I promise you to do something else. Really, you took my job and I'll take me for a walk. You see, you have to run to Pingjing for sculptures and Chinese paintings. What's the point here? Why are you staying in Jiangzhou?"

Wan Changsheng smiled: "You have to train some disciples for you. Don't worry, don't worry, it's only two or three years."

Lao Jing was in a relaxed mood: "Then I'll wait... Come and carve a seal for me to give it to someone. An old friend retired and took this stone."

He was so comfortable that he held his big tea jar, leaned against him and watched his apprentice engraving seals and humming songs.

Perhaps the frequency of this strange sound and strange tune was different, so Su Munan finally looked up and saw the seal engraving here. She couldn't help but put up a thread-bound book, and came over and stood behind her back to read silently.

This was the first time she had seen the true level of the seal engraving of Wan Changsheng.

Xiling Seal Society is a role in Shaolin Wudang in the entire seal carving world. To say that Wan Changsheng is so slapping and kicking in the south, west and north, it is a brag. No one can kill anyone in the literati interest when he reaches the high level. Everyone has their own hobbies and characteristics.

So even if you see the gold medal in the Qing Dynasty, Su Munan is not sure that she is impressed by the seal patterns.

Even the imperial seals collected by this Danei Museum are like a dazzling treasure house, which can make enthusiasts devote themselves instead of admitting defeat.

Things that literati like to appreciate each other or dislike each other.

But at this moment, Su Munan was really surprised.

What Wan Changsheng has the most distinctive feature in seal carving is the one that he has reflected from painting to sculpture, and the strong sense of space in his mind!

He doesn't need to write a manuscript when carving seals, just like when he doesn't need to use a pen to draw a shape first, and can directly start printing from the corner, the same is true for carving seals in Wan Changsheng.

For example, almost everyone carves seals. The most common ones in all directions are the shape of the field characters, and there is a frame on the periphery of the seal. These are all about drawing a field character grid when doing things. Even if there are three or two characters, you have to type a grid accordingly. This is still a familiar hand.

Novices must first draw or paste the seal carving content, and the seal text is all mirrored, which is difficult for many people to adapt to.

Wanxiansheng does not need it, it starts directly from the corner, so only looking at the finished chapter can make you unable to experience his sense of space with a tumultuous heart.

That's why Lao Jingtou and Professor Gou like to read Wan Changsheng's hand-engraved seals so much.

That kind of printing feels inexplicably comfortable.

The content is "I am already idle", which is the content of Wang Wei's poems. The mentality has always been so leisurely.

Light and simple but still has the timeless temperament of Chinese classical culture.

In today's terms, it's a short and light show-off.

I can’t understand it without some culture.

Especially when Wan Changsheng carved seals, he did not have the solemn feeling of bathing incense, and he always said: "This wood is good, what's wrong? Some people have been born in the past year, and there are still such things. Give me a few, I... Damn, I remember something, have you heard of the light-sensitive seal? I have to do it. Just input any style into the computer and it will be fine. Do we still need to carve seals?"

Lao Jing hated the voice: "Craftsmanship! That's all machines, not craftsmanship! It's impossible to replace it!"

Wan Changsheng shook his head: "Master, this matter is very dangerous. I asked them to buy me a unit, which can be bought for a few hundred yuan. Put the seal in a few seconds. For example, if you copy the printing in the palace, now you only need to take a photo with your camera and repair it in the computer. It will definitely be done in minutes in the same way."

Lao Jing wanted to grab Wan Changsheng and slap him again: "Fart! Impossible! The crafts of our ancestors cannot be replaced like this!"

Wan Changsheng still shook his head: "It's not possible, it will definitely be replaced. Master, on the cultural relics repair team, it is inevitable for woodworkers to use electric tools to replace old craftsmanship, and it is even more necessary to analyze and copy textiles with electron microscope equipment. The calligraphy and painting team has been intervening with computers for a long time, and even copying and printing cannot be eliminated. This is an inevitable law of history and technology development."

Lao Jingtou held his breath: "You can't make me feel more comfortable?"

Wan Changsheng smiled: "If a person has no long-term thinking, he will have immediate worries. Only by looking far can he think of the way early."

As a result, Su Munan's voice suddenly came from behind: "What should I do?"

The master and apprentice were really shocked!

So Su Munan has the potential to be a kindergarten teacher and stands quietly.

Wan Changsheng also looked at Gao Yunye, who was sitting in front of the window next to him. He was browsing his mobile phone. He was blowing the wood chips on his hand: "I don't know yet. I can only say that I have long-term considerations and guard against immediate worries. It is impossible to say that it is not anxious or shocked. But I know that I can definitely come up with a solution. Seal carving is an art, a hobby that is worth preserving, just like Peking Opera, but it is not enough to rely solely on feelings... Besides, all art categories in art have this trend, which is a bit out of touch with the times. Printing is the most dangerous, followed by Chinese painting, watercolor and oil painting, and sculpture have the least risk factor. Do these art categories have the meaning and value of existence? Things that the people don't care about will gradually be abandoned by the times."

Lao Jing calmed down instead and took a sip of tea leisurely: "You, you have such a big world in your heart, you always like to pretend to be happy in concealment. I don't care. Anyway, I'll leave it to you. I believe you will take this off."

Wan Changsheng deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors: "Then I will buy you the light-sensitive seal machine when I go back, and I will recommend one or two people to you, so I will take on the work here easily."

Lao Jing looked like he had seen storms and waves: "Come on, I see how you can scare me!"

Su Munan gently did not participate in the master and apprentice playing tricks: "I used to think that the current situation of seal carving was cruel, but it was not as scary as Wan Changsheng said. With this sense of crisis, it seems quite critical... The southern part of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is considered to be relatively well maintained, but in fact, only a few people are participating in seal carving, and more than half of them are relatively low. This can be seen from the collection of works in each calligraphy and seal carving industry competition. There are still many people complaining that there is insufficient support, the market is not good, and the people have no taste. Actually, the problem lies in the changes in this era?"

Wan Changsheng nodded: "Five hundred years ago, there was no photography art. Oil paintings and portraits were the privilege of princes and nobles. Two hundred years ago, there was no movie and TV. Drama was the entertainment and leisure of ordinary people. Twenty years ago, there was no Internet. People could still accept traditional methods. In recent years, mobile phones, which combine photography, television, games, shopping, reading and other functions, are popular. This is the general trend. If you do not change and adapt to it as a result of the situation, you will go against the current. In addition to saying that your courage is commendable, I can only praise your touching IQ."

Su Munan frowned but didn't say anything.

Watch Wan Changsheng dip the new seal in a bit of ink paste and stamp it with red seals.

Lao Jingtou happily took it over and packed it up: "Popular wood, I have an old friend in the northwest. He has a lot of this kind of poplar wood material. Otherwise, when will you go and collect it for him? And his carving is also awesome. Can you go and learn from him?"

Wan Changsheng rarely rejects new things flatly. He smiled and said yes, indicating that Su Munan also came to carve one side and show the level.

Unexpectedly, Su Munan shook her head gently: "After listening to your words today, I suddenly felt a little heavy in my heart, and I lost the interest in writing and engraving seals."

Wan Changsheng quickly looked at his master. He was a person who could take it and let it go. He naturally had to think about things that were long-term, and even more had to do what was in front of him.

Who knew that this girl was a scheming person!

Or in other words, those who may choose to go against the current are often this kind of focus and down-to-earth and decisive attitude.

Wan Changsheng said that his IQ is touching, but what he doesn’t respect the most is this kind of despicable deliberateness?

It was a little funny and hilarious: "We are a routine joke, we are vaccinated against each other so as not to think that we will be drifting if we win the gold medal."

Lao Jing helped explain: "The little bastard is afraid that I will stay in the yard every day and don't know what it is like outside. He deliberately scares me, little girl, don't take it to heart."

Su Munan shook her head gently: "I understand these situations best in Xiling. I used to pretend to be an ostrich and buried my head in the sand. I always thought that I was just a junior, and there were always people who were worried about these things. But today I heard Wan Changsheng's words, it actually has something to do with every one of us who participated in it. During the avalanche, every snowflake is not innocent."

Even if Wan Changsheng and Lao Jingtou didn't know the famous saying of Voltaire, they couldn't help but applaud. This little girl is really good.
