Shu embroidery

The colorful body, the strong and agile figure, loomed among the layers of auspicious clouds, as if it was about to fly out of the wall in the next moment.

Shen Chuqing's eyes were straightened, it was the first time she saw such a large embroidery, it took up as much as a wall.

Even though the colors seem to be numerous and the process is extremely complicated, it makes people feel that the vision is refreshing, and the veins are clear and the lines are traceable.

To be able to make such a powerful embroidery work, you don't need to think about it, it must be from the hands of Mr. Qunfang.

In order to prove her own idea, Shen Chuqing also took a special look at the seal printed on the lower left, the three characters Zhou Qunfang engraved in seal script, Shen Chuqing had seen it many times at the Shu Embroidery Exhibition Conference before.

She just looked around briefly, and found at least twenty kinds of embroidery methods from the above, and what surprised her the most was that these embroidery methods, which obviously looked completely different from stitches and needles, were actually all embroidery methods. It extends from the overlapping embroidery.

Overlapping embroidery is one of the most common techniques in Shu embroidery, and almost everyone knows it, but it is also the most complicated technique in Shu embroidery. It is said that some key stitches have been lost since the Republic of China.

What has been handed down now are only some common people's embroidery methods. What Shen Chuqing learned from Shen's mother is this kind of stitch that almost everyone who can embroider will use.

I heard that the overlapping embroidery method is particularly mysterious, and that it can complement many stitches with all-inclusiveness, but Shen Chuqing didn't take it to heart.

But today, it was truly witnessing the magic in the legend, a piece of dragon embroidery, which made Shen Chuqing face-to-face and profoundly understand the many changes and mysteries of the overlapping embroidery.

"This is the first complete large-scale dragon embroidery that Mr. completed independently in that year. It has been at least 60 years ago. A total of 76 needle-moving techniques and 310 eight-color threads were used in it, which took one year and zero hours. Three months."

Zhou Xu explained in a low voice. Shen Chuqing had long forgotten that Zhou Xu was the enemy lawyer who sued her mother, and she was completely immersed in that embroidery.

He even murmured and asked, "Can I go over and have a look?"

"Can"

With permission, Shen Chuqing quickly walked to that wall, wanting to reach out to touch the scales on Feilong's body. She felt that she could peel off a piece from the top because of the distinct layers.

But after getting close, his hand could only touch the glass of the picture frame.

Looking up at the direction of the dragon head above, especially those huge eyes, as if containing the sun and the moon, just like the one in the legend...

"This is the Candle Dragon, right?" From Shen Chuqing's understanding of dragons, it seems that only the Zhongshan Candle Dragon in the myths and legends can possess this kind of aura that swallows up mountains and rivers and rivals the sun and the moon.

"Exactly, does Chuqing want to learn?" Zhou Xu could see the reverence in her eyes, knowing that she was moved by this embroidered dragon.

"With Mr. Qunfang as a teacher, can we only learn to embroider dragons?"

Although this dragon embroidery is really good, and the skills contained in it are also things that I really want to learn, but Shen Chuqing is unwilling to spend her whole life embroidering dragons.

There are so many beautiful things in this world, and there are naturally many things that I want to paint and embroider.

"That's not true, although Mister only embroiders dragons, she will not force her disciples to also embroider dragons.

The husband once said that embroidery is a very magical skill. It can copy and copy all the beautiful things for future generations to admire and watch. There is no need to classify them into factions. As long as the good-looking things are sure to be welcomed and loved. "

Hearing what he said, Shen Chuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to look at the situation in the room.

On the surrounding walls, there are paintings of various kinds of dragons, some flying through the clouds, some overturning the river, some playing with pearls, some half sitting and half lying down...

Their expressions are different, but Shen Chuqing has found one thing in common from these paintings. No matter what kind of dragon it is, there will always be two long mustaches on its lower jaw. The brushwork is exactly the same. It all looks the same.

It can be deduced from this that these different dragons were all made by one person, but it is not known whether this person painted directly on the wall or was rubbed on the wall.

In the middle of the room, there is a big stretch frame, and there is a stretch stool under the stretch frame. On the right side of the stretch stool, there is a simple wooden shelf.

On the shelf are some necessary tools for embroidery such as hand boards, stretch nails, stretch threads, embroidery needles, embroidery scissors, silk threads, and thread sticks.

It can be said that it has everything that one expects to find. It is more prepared than that of my mother who has been doing embroidery and selling money all the year round. The texture is more than one level better.

"Can we start the assessment?" Shen Chuqing was still in shock at the moment, so her tone of voice was much more polite than before.

"Okay, let me tell you first, I'm only in charge of the initial test, and if you pass the test with me, you can go to Mr. for the retest.

In the end, whether you can stay or not, the only one who really decides is Mr. "

Zhou Xu still explained the rules, and Shen Chuqing of course understood that Mr. Qunfang was the one who wanted to take the apprentice, and Mr. Qunfang must be the one who could make the decision in the end.

"First step, resume." Zhou Xu actually did some research on Shen Chuqing before. Originally, these steps could be omitted directly, but he was afraid of causing the girl in front of him to resent him, so he decided to follow the rules.

Since he came out for an interview, his resume must have been prepared long ago. He reached out to take out the resume from his backpack and handed it to Zhou Xu.

The fresh graduates of the Southwest Academy of Fine Arts, whose age and temperament fully meet the requirements of Mr. Qunfang, even on the resume at the back, Zhou Xu also saw a lot of awards in traditional Chinese painting competitions.

It is obvious that the girl in front of her is not an ordinary student of the Academy of Fine Arts, but a very good student of the Academy of Fine Arts.

"Can I see your award certificates?" Zhou Xu made this request not because he doubted the authenticity of the awards filled in his resume, but simply because he wanted to see them.

Shen Chuqing was mentally prepared when she came here. In order to give herself extra points for the interview, she memorized almost all the important award certificates.

He took out a thick stack of big red books from his backpack, and handed it to Zhou Xu indifferently.

The first prize of the Youth Hundred Flowers Landscape Painting Competition.

The first prize of provincial youth landscape sketching.

Second Prize of the [-]th Youth Traditional Chinese Painting Award.

The first prize of the Provincial Soft Pen Calligraphy Youth Competition.

The First Prize of Excellent Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition of Provincial College Students...

Just looking at the series of awards above, it should be very easy for Shen Chuqing to find a good job after graduation.
