On the mainland, from ancient times to the present, there have been countless skilled craftsmen, and the crafts they produce are all rare and ingenious works. These are inseparable from the rigorous, hard-working spirit and professional ethics of those ancients. Every piece of handicraft is made by them through careful polishing with one knife and one knife, leaving us with a piece of masterpiece. These skilled craftsmen can be called masters, or they can be called people with the spirit of craftsmanship. So in our current society, is there such a skilled craftsman with the spirit of craftsmanship?
With the continuous progress of society and the continuous development of science and technology, many ancient abilities called crafts have gradually disappeared, because they have been replaced by more efficient machinery. However, some works of art still cannot be replaced, although the machinery is more realistic, but it lacks a trace of artificially created aura. In a place called Panwu Village in Guangxi, there is a carpenter, everyone calls him Master Long, he is the most famous carpenter in the local area. He invited more than a dozen craftsmen to participate in the carving together, and carved a 15-meter-long root carved lion.
Master Long said that in order to make this male lion into a handicraft with real artistic value, he and the craftsmen he invited took more than six months to complete, and in order to carve this male lion, it also cost more than 2 million yuan, and it was used to use a particularly precious nan wood, which used nearly 30 tons.
After the completion of this huge male lion root carving, it also attracted the attention of all parties, including a rich merchant who was willing to buy this root carving. After a brief exchange with Master Long, the rich merchant bid 3 million yuan to buy it. However, this price was rejected by Master Long, because Master Long felt that the root carving he made was a rare handicraft in the world today, and the price of 3 million yuan was completely incompatible with his art. Master Long believes that his work, which is 15 meters long, 5 meters high and 2.5 meters wide, should cost at least 10 million. When the rich merchants saw such a price, they stopped communicating and simply left.
After that, Master Dragon's lion was no longer noticed, as if the lion had never appeared.
And now, how does this dragon master feel that this lion is unparalleled in the world? Master Long said that from the appearance of the male lion to the storm of the rich merchants inquiring for prices, his male lion root carving has been eaten in his warehouse for 7 or 8 years. At that time, it caused a sensation in the country, became unattended, and became a warehouse janitor-like existence. With this result, many people also ridiculed Master Long's work, saying that this work is very valuable and cannot be sold because there is no market for it. The once mighty male lion has now become a sleeping lion in a warehouse.
In fact, in the mainland, root carving is most famous for products in Fujian and Zhejiang, while Guangxi's own root carving technology is far inferior, so there is a gap in regional brands. And he was only because of his large size, which attracted people's attention for a while, and after the limelight passed, it rotted into the hands of Master Long. For the cost of 2 million that Master Long said, or this work is unparalleled in the world, no matter what, in front of the 3 million price of the rich merchant, it is also worth the money. Especially such a large item, it is better to sell than to rot in your own hands, even if you put the warehouse to occupy the place, now you can only find a warehouse to put inside, let this male lion eat ash.
