Dunhuang Feitian murals have an incomparable artistic status all over the world.

Although it is remote here as a mountain in the countryside, it has the highest cultural relics protection status in the country.

The masters who have been here are famous masters like crucian carp. When will it be your turn to talk nonsense like a young man?

People would not believe it or doubt it at all, and they just wanted to wave his hand to let him leave.

But those one or two hundred beautiful students were all smiling around and watching the fun.

The sure snickering expression easily makes the scenic spot staff and the national cultural relics experts wonder, are you really having any amazing background?

There is really a life of immortality.

Just by being qualified as the National Youth Exhibition Gold Award, you can be considered an expert in Chinese painting in China.

Are those who have released eleven textbooks in a row and are still popular in sales considered experts?

But he doesn't use these names to suppress others.

Sit down and show the line drawing of the mural in front of you on your drawing board.

The friends tacitly helped him serve the little stool, drawing boards, papers, and brushes, and then stepped back and left the position of watching Wan Changsheng to everyone present.

Everyone has watched too much, and it is no longer rare, but they silently raise their phone and record this moment of pretending...

Wan Changsheng really doesn’t want to show off.

But this is indeed his old job.

The best business.

The main theme of Dunhuang murals is the painting of statues, which is the various gods, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings and Dharma images that people worship, and are also Buddhist scriptures with these as the main characters.

Isn’t this the most familiar job of Wan Changsheng?

If the young man who once painted in Guanyin Temple was still only at the level of a painter, his continuous refining and improvement over the past few years has made his techniques more and more exquisite.

Being able to win a gold medal at the National Youth Exhibition means that at least the skills are impeccable.

Why did he dare to say that Dunhuang murals are not good?

In fact, most of the line drafts he saw were drawn by cultural relics restoration experts or craftsmen according to copying murals.

To be more precise, those murals with mottled walls cannot be said to be of high quality in painting skills. After all, from the Former Qin, Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties to Western Xia, and Yuan dynasties, most of the people who painted in this deserted desolate place were just craftsmen.

In an image description, these world-famous Dunhuang murals are as heart-wrenching and popular as the poems of Li Bai, Du Fu and Su Shi.

But it is just the content of the mural, and the style is extraordinary.

The handwriting and calligraphy written on the wall are not very exquisite.

The same calligraphy, written by craftsmen and ordinary people, are different from the calligraphy writing.

With just one stroke, horizontal and vertical strokes, calligraphy works contain the muscles and bones that end the stroke.

The same is true for plain drawing. It looks like an ordinary line, but it is actually full of various considerations of Chinese painting.

Dunhuang murals are precious in these precious works of art that have been accumulated more than a thousand years ago, these precious imaginations and incredible colors and shapes accumulated over hundreds of years.

It is the glorious artistic charm of these hundreds of caves in the vast sea of ​​caves.

It's fine to repair and save it as it is.

There is no need to take it out of context and every line must stand the scrutiny, because Dunhuang murals need this kind of roughness of the northwest.

However, when organizing and inheriting these artistic forms, it is best to ask a painter to paint.

Because as Wan Changsheng said, these things should be preserved as art and then circulated.

This kind of artistic treasure, even with rough lines, needs to be distinguished by the painter, whether it is intentional or unintentional.

Not to mention that if it is the style of the school of academic development, someone needs to refine the essence of it.

If Wan Changsheng explains this shamelessly.

Maybe it will cause controversy. Who said that Dunhuang murals must be corrected to conform to Chinese painting techniques? Who said that these cultural relics must be preserved according to traditional techniques?

Dunhuang murals have their own unique status in the history of world art!

When is it your turn, a young man, still need improvement?

Many arguments have no result.

If Wan Changsheng can do it, there will be no comparison.

Facing the musical pictures of the late Tang Bodhisattva in the cave, the starting point was the precise and slender lines, the head of Ding, the tail of the rat, and the iron wire of the golden hook!

There is no need to make a draft by pencil. After the printing mode is turned on, you can finish it from the side of the drawing paper in one go, and you can easily pick it up!

As the saying goes, experts can tell if there is any one at a glance.

Even if you are not a professional art talent, most of you can draw these cultural relics with your pen. At this moment, you will feel like you are going over the body with goose bumps.

The more people who have painted it on weekdays, the more they know how much skill this stroke contains.

Even Professor Gou said back then that the plain drawing of Wan Changsheng contains the foundation for shaping ancient Buddha statues.

Maybe when it comes to pictures of ladies, flowers, birds, and ink paintings are not Wan Changsheng's strengths.

Only this kind of Buddha statue mural, or sutra-changing painting, is a large mural that emerged from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, is used to comprehensively express the overall content of a sutra and promote the imaginary Pure Land.

This is the most experienced form of Wan Changsheng.

Even if the experts who have been immersed in Mogao Grottoes murals for many years have been used to seeing the unparalleled exquisite murals around them, they can't help but exclaim at this moment: "There are mountain people outside the mountain..."

"Ah, this finger should have been drawn like this. I said the fingertip proportions..."

"It's not a matter of proportion, it's a line. This teacher really uses the lines... to call Lao Xing, and this time he really met a master."

That's right, Wan Changsheng does not deny the exquisiteness of Dunhuang murals. What he proposed is only records. If Dunhuang murals were to be recorded in line drawing and sorted into document manuscripts and other materials.

It is better to improve some technicality, which is the opinion of academics and folk artists.

He made a transition from a folk artist to an artist.

I hope that this top-level art worthy of permanent circulation will have a more rigorous and exquisite appearance.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the museum director hurried over here and saw a complete line drawing of the mural!

And it is almost as well-printed as it is the entire wall full of drafts!

Some of the peeling and missing samples were added!

Do you know what this means?

Most of the line drawing manuscripts in Dunhuang are records extracted from a single object, and it is almost impossible to record the entire wall full draft.

Because the murals of each cave are often painted from the sky to the earth, from all directions.

This means that the drawing paper is hemispherical or arc-top. If it is turned onto a flat white paper, many details will inevitably not be connected.

This is like the earth is round. Russia should be Canada after turning over it. However, after the world map is flattened, the Arctic Ocean will be fragmented and deformed, or the higher the latitude of all world maps, the more deformed it is. Russia is not as big as the map.

It is difficult for ordinary people to convert the picture of the dome into a plane.

Therefore, we can only put China in the center and express it accurately, or draw a certain country.

It is rare to see the entire wall of Dunhuang murals full of hand-painted pictures.

A life of immortality is easy.

Because he understood this way of painting, he even knew what the Buddha statue expressed.

So when he encountered the scene of peeling off due to natural weathering, he combined the surrounding lines and patterns and knew what the missing piece was, so he just put it into his manuscript paper at will.

This made the entire onlooker staff, research experts, and museum leaders shocked: "Do you know what that is?"

Wan Changsheng is ordinary: "Yes, in the eyes of a professional painter, this line should be like this. What's the difficulty..."

People are about to cry...

Some cultural relics restoration experts have been studying here for decades, and the repair progress is extremely slow. Even before repairing it here, it has peeled off again.

The characteristic of Dunhuang murals is that the Bodhisattvas are not all solemn and precious, but are strongly anthropomorphic, either graceful or strong, which really makes the restoration experts turn white.

I quote scriptures everywhere and find out how this style comes from. I have to confirm that it has the correct source before I dare to start.

But in the eyes of painters like Wan Changsheng, or in other words, he has experienced so many murals, so there are so many rigorous shapes. As long as a craftsman is busy, he will do whatever he wants.

It should be said that this is the distance between the two industries of artists and repair experts.

When there weren't so many artists in this country, restoration experts were technical jobs, not artistic jobs.

This is just like the situation in the Palace Museum. Lao Jingtou and others are all trained from the children of employees and internal vocational schools. They are first technical jobs, and then they start to rely on artistic jobs.

But the things they studied were all the works of the top masters of art in history, and some of them that require artistic talent were not sure to keep up.

In the past ten or twenty years, a large number of arts and crafts artists have entered the restoration major and integrated their true artistic talents into restoration.

That is the capital, and everything is given priority, and it will only begin to become systematic in recent years.

For this ancient civilization full of top cultural relics, it is still time to spread to Dunhuang, of course, not far away.

It is accidental and inevitable that Wan Changsheng will appear here like this.

So the next scene is inevitable.

I can only say that so many sketching painters come and go over the years.

I'm afraid that many people can't help but kneel down when they stand in front of the Dunhuang murals.

Just a monster like Wan Changsheng, you have to add the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger to make such a shocking suggestion.

Although the things from our ancestors are good, we can also improve them on this basis.

Otherwise, those who are self-confidence will live less and less than those of the ancients thousands of years ago.
