In this era of “mass entrepreneurship, innovationâ€, the word “innovation†quickly fertilized in all walks of life. And "the new day, the new day, the new day", on the innovation, how should the jade carving master understand, how to do it?
The difficulty of innovation, it is difficult to go to the sky
Innovation means "new beginning". Since it is a "new beginning", it means that the original things cannot keep up with the development of the times. They must be abandoned. That is, the old ones are not going, the new ones are not. Come". The real "innovation" should be like a electric car instead of a bicycle. It is a truly subversive "new species". Instead of adding a wheel to a bicycle and becoming a tricycle, it dares to call it "innovation."
In the same way, jade carving art is the crystallization of wisdom and hard work of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Many crafts are passed down from generation to generation in the long history of thousands of years. The inscriptions and reliefs in the jade carving process are all ancient. Therefore, today's people can only "improve" rather than "innovation" on the basis of their predecessors.
From this we can see that “innovation†is very difficult. To some extent, “innovation†is equivalent to “inventionâ€. It is “out of nothing†rather than “icing on the cakeâ€. It is precisely because of the difficulty of "innovation" that even Confucius, who is a "sacred master", has to make a sigh of "speaking and not doing it; trusting and being good old; stealing than my old Peng".
Is “innovation†a innovation?
It is undeniable that in the initial stage of the jade carving art creation, everyone can only follow the predecessors' practices or follow the master's teaching methods. With the growth of experience and the accumulation of experience, more and more works by predecessors or others contacted by jade carving masters, and more and more works are created by themselves. Over time, they will form their own judgments and then learn from others. Director and apply it to creation.
In fact, "boss-mining" is a stage that every jade carving master must experience, but this stage can only be said to be "inheritance" of "taking its essence and going to its dregs", which is based on the exploration of predecessors. Inheritance, but not as "innovation."
Jade carving art, as an art category with an aesthetic of the times, has its own specific veins in the process of development. It is the same in one line, rather than constantly “new and oldâ€. The auspicious patterns that are used in many jade carving works represent the longing and expectation of a beautiful life in the same vein of Chinese traditional culture.
The development of jade carving art is based on the "traditional culture" tree. The "exploitation of the public" is only the nutrition of the branches of the "traditional culture" tree, but its connotation is the same, all from the culture of "the root of the wood", "source of living water."
Innovation is important, craftsmanship and heritage are more important
"Frozen three feet, not a cold day." Compared with the ancients, people today are generally more eager for quick success. Therefore, on the basis of not accumulating and inheriting, do not talk about "innovation", but should "I have three provinces and ones", whether the level of skill is sufficient, whether the cultural connotation is thorough enough, and whether the shape of the work is Sufficiently coordinated, the aesthetic effect is elegant enough...
The shocking Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, the majestic Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the never-ending Great Wall, the magical Forbidden City drainage system... In the case of a very backward technological level, the ancient craftsmen left us a lot of modern There is no way to accomplish the feat. This is not "innovation," but a patience and perseverance of "artisan spirit."
Jade carving art is like a towering tree, and culture is the root of the tree. It is the veins. The art of jade carving is the branches and leaves that grow on this towering tree. The “root of culture†transfers the nutrients extracted from the soil to the branches and leaves, so that each branch has enough vitality to absorb nutrients from the sunlight and rain of nature, thus continuously growing new branches and leaves, and finally making this tree The towering branches are prosperous and long-lasting.
It can be seen that “inheritance†is to protect the foundation of this towering tree, and then let the nutrients continue to be delivered to the branches and leaves. And "innovation" is to re-emerge and grow slowly outside this towering tree. This is the difference between "inheritance" and "innovation". Both are very important, and they all relate to "jade carving art". The development of the line.
However, in the process of "innovation" by many artists, the foundation has not been laid, and the new "saplings" have been tumbling and slowly dying at the beginning of their growth. Based on the "traditional culture", the "splitting tree" that embodies the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese nation has been integrated with the fertile soil of China for thousands of years. Its existence is correct and reasonable. There is no need to prove it, and there is no need to "overthrow". Therefore, under the premise of not having enough "foundation", the jade carving master is better to calm down, first carry on the inheritance, and then learn from others, learn from others, and inject new nutrition into the evergreen tree of "Jade Carving Art".
We do not deny "innovation", but we must not use "innovation" to make the fig leaf of the "artisan spirit" missing. Moreover, if you feel that your skill level and cultural accomplishment still fall short of the "innovation" standard, then like Confucius, you will be a "passenger" who "steals than my old Peng".
