Shu embroidery

At this moment, Shen Chuqing was dazzled and didn't know where to start.

"Dragon has the characteristics and style of the Chinese nation, symbolizes nobility and wealth, and even more as a symbol of the country and the country, the most authoritative representative.

It has a history of more than 3000 years, and it is the only fictional species that is widely used and believed in by people in their daily lives.

In this hidden dragon room, my aunt collected some dragon-shaped patterns that appeared from the beginning of the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the end of the Qing Dynasty. The process of thousands of years has changed, the styles of various places and various display forms, you You can see it all here. "

Listening to Zhou Xu's introduction, Shen Chuqing walked to a wooden shelf closest to the door. There were some ceramics and bronze wares engraved with dragon patterns on it. On the lower two floors, there were also many tiles, Han bricks, and stone carvings. something like that.

All kinds of dragon patterns are vividly displayed on different items, especially the dragon patterns on the bricks and tiles. It may be because the annual growth is too long, the lines have become a little blurred, but it can still be seen in general Shape.

"Teacher, do you even collect bricks and tiles?" It's a well-known fact that people who embroider dragons like dragons, but they like them so much that they don't even let a single tile go. Shen Chuqing couldn't help but feel a little crazy.

"Don't underestimate these bricks and tiles. The green tiles in front of you are left over from the Song Dynasty. It is said that 60 years ago, my aunt exchanged two steamed buns for a Taoist priest.

There is also this piece of blue brick, which my aunt made a special trip to Xi'an and spent a lot of money to buy it.

This bronze mirror is said to have been fired during the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention the bronze wares, most of which came from the land of Bashu during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. My aunt spent almost all of the money she earned in her life in this house.

As long as it is related to dragons, my aunt will buy and collect it regardless of the cost. "

There are items on the shelves that look particularly old, and each item has its own history.

Mr. Qunfang obviously loved these things very much, and there was a handwritten booklet next to each collection item, which marked the origin of the item, as well as the name and characteristics of the dragon pattern on it.

Shen Chuqing carefully flipped through these pamphlets, and heard Zhou Xu's occasional explanations. At this moment, it was like being in the most high-end dragon culture museum in the world.

As long as the eyes can see, there are all dragons, and even the wooden frame is covered with lacquered dragon-shaped pictures. From the perspective of age, appearance, and differences between regions, the differences are clear and clear, and people can understand it at a glance. .

As for the first shelf, it took Shen Chuqing nearly an hour to read all the collections on it, and she still swallowed them whole.

Dragon... Not only does it represent power and majesty, it also represents mystery, but no matter what, it is just an illusory thing after all, and Shen Chuqing didn't pay much attention to it before.

But this has just come into contact with some fringes, and with a little or two understanding, I was overwhelmed by the vastness and profoundness of the dragon culture.

When you walk to the second shelf, it is a fully transparent display cabinet with a glass structure. There are many small sculptures in the cabinet, including bamboo carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings and so on.

Dragon sculptures of different shapes are displayed with various materials of different textures. Each one seems to be alive. With its lifelike figure and radiant eyes, it seems that it can break through the glass cabinet and go straight to the sky in the next moment. generally.

There are at least fifty or sixty sculptures, large and small, which dazzle people, as if they have entered the kingdom of dragons.

Placed in the middle of the glass cabinet, a stone with engraved imprints caught Shen Chuqing's attention. The reason why it caught her attention was that the stone sculpture looked too ordinary. Compared with other sculptures, it was so ordinary. It looks like a stone that has been scrawled on it with a knife.

But such a stone was actually placed in the middle. Although it was just a glass cabinet, the position of the things could also be seen from the owner's importance to it.

Shen Chuqing walked over, only to see clearly that the stone carving only had a dragon tail, but the dragon head was missing. Even the tail part was not carved well. It can be seen that it was not operated by a professional craftsman, but rather like a dragon's tail. It was scratched out with a carving knife.

Shen Chuqing was even more puzzled, how did such a sculpture enter the hidden dragon room?Could it be that the teacher took it wrong?
But obviously, there is nothing wrong with the thing, because in front of it, there is a pamphlet specially introducing the work. Shen Chuqing carefully read the content on it, only the simple seven-character blue stone dragon tail carving of the old man, and no Other redundant introductions.

"Why does such a defective product appear here?" Shen Chuqing couldn't find the answer by herself, so she could only ask Zhou Xu.

"This is not a defective product. This stone was originally carved with only a dragon's tail. I heard from my sister before that the person who carved this dragon's tail was an old friend of my aunt, a very important old friend.

Even though his carving skills are not good, this should be regarded as his only carving work, and to my aunt, it is more precious than other exquisite works. "

"Oh!" Shen Chuqing nodded in a sudden realization. Some things are precious, not because of their own value, but because of who made them.

Although Shen Chuqing was curious about the teacher's most important old friend, she also knew that she was not qualified to know about it, so she could only continue to appreciate other works.

In the middle of the room, there is a rectangular glass cabinet. Inside the cabinet are neatly arranged framed ink paintings. Although the contents of the paintings are different, they all have the same name dragon.

As a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, Shen Chuqing has a special understanding of ink painting. It was the first time that she saw so many ink paintings of dragons, so she hurried over happily to appreciate them up close.

From the technique of painting, the depth of ink used, and even the graphic structure and the surface presented, it can almost be described as perfect.

Although it is only a single ink color, it just makes people feel the majestic and majestic feeling.

Shen Chuqing only saw the first painting, and she was immersed in the artist's painting technique. This kind of flowing brushwork, not to mention that she couldn't paint it, even the teachers of her own academy of fine arts might not be able to paint it.

Which master did this come from?Shen Chuqing thought that she knew a lot about Chinese painting, but this was the first time she had seen this kind of painting technique.
