The story of the nuclear ship explains in the original text that there was a wise man named Wang Shuyuan, who could make a picture of palace vessels with wood of an inch in diameter, and he could also use birds, animals, wood and stones, regardless of the occasion, each with its own modality. I tasted a nuclear ship and covered the red cliff cloud of Dasu.
The length of the ship is about eight minutes and the height can be two meters. The porch in the middle is a hut, covered by a canopy, with small windows on the side, four on the left, four on the right and eight on the left. When you open the window, the carved columns are opposite. When it is closed, the right side is engraved with "The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water comes out", and the left side is engraved with "The breeze is Xu Lai, and the water waves are stagnant", carved by azurite.
There are three people sitting in the bow, Dongpo is full of beards, on the right, on the left, and Su and Huang are reading. Dongpo's right hand holding the tail, left hand caressing Lu Zhi's back, Lu Zhi's left hand holding the tail, right hand pointing to the roll, saying something. Dongpo's right foot and Lu Zhi's left foot are slightly different. Compared with the knees, they are all hidden in the folds of the bottom clothes. Is a unique Maitreya Buddha, topless, holding her head high, her expression does not belong to Su and Huang. Lying flat on your right knee, punting on your right arm, standing on your left knee and leaning on your left arm, you can count pearls vividly.
The stern is horizontal, and there is a boat on each side. The person who lives on the right has a vertebral bun on his back, his left hand leans on a balance beam, and his right hand climbs his right toe, if he is screaming; The person who lives on the left holds a banana fan in his right hand and touches the stove in his left hand. There is a pot on the stove, and their eyes are silent. If they listen to the sound of tea.
If the back of the ship is slightly flattened, it will be engraved on it. Wen said: "The apocalypse is in autumn, and the book of King Yushan has just been carved." As thin as a mosquito's foot, it is sketched and its color is ink. He also stamped a chapter with the seal and wrote "Chu Pingshan people". Its color, Dan.
A boat, five people, eight windows, a canopy, a pot, a stove, a pot, a hand roll and a rosary. The title of the couplet is combined with seal script, and the word * * * has four thirtieth, but its length is not enough, which was repaired by those who built simple peach stones.
When cabbage finished his detailed plan, he asked, "Hey! The skill is also very strange! Many people in Zhuang and Lie said that they were scared by ghosts and gods. However, who is capable of understanding everything? If someone pretends to be someone, you will reply to me, and you will also be suspicious. This is a personal experience. From the point of view of the cave, the end of the thorn is not necessarily a female monkey. Hey! The skill is also strange! "
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Shuyuan, whose craftsmanship was superb. He can carve wood with a diameter of one inch into palaces, vessels, figures, even birds, animals, trees and stones. Nothing can't be carved into the shapes of various things according to the original appearance of wood, each with its own appearance and posture. He once gave me a boat engraved with peach stones, which was engraved with the picture of Su Dongpo taking a boat trip to Chibi.
The nuclear ship is about eight minutes long from beginning to end and about two meters high. The high and spacious place in the middle is the cabin, which is covered with a bamboo canopy. There are small windows next to the hut, four on the left and four on the right, a total of eight. When you open the window, you can see the carved railings, which are symmetrical left and right. Turn it off, and you will see the sentence engraved with "The mountain is high and the moon is small, the truth is clear" on the right, and the sentence engraved with "The breeze is Xu Lai, the water is quiet" on the left, all painted with azurite.
There are three people sitting on the bow: Su Dongpo in the middle, wearing a tall hat and a thick beard, Fo Yin on the right and Lu Zhi on the left. Su Dongpo and Huang Lu Zhi are reading a scroll of calligraphy and painting together. Dongpo's right hand holds the right side of the picture scroll, and his left hand rests on Lu Zhi's shoulder. Lu Zhi left hand holding the end of the scroll, right hand pointing to the scroll, as if to say something. Dongpo showed his right foot, and Lu Zhi showed his left foot, each leaning slightly, his knees together, all hidden in the folds at the bottom of the hand roll. Fo Yin is very much like Maitreya. He looks naked, but his expression is different from that of Su and Huang. He put his right knee flat, his right arm bent and supported on the boat board, his left leg bent upward, and his left arm rested on his left knee, with rosary beads on it, which could be counted clearly one by one.
There is an oar at the stern. There is a boatman on the left and right sides of the paddle. The man on the right is wearing a tapered bun, with his face upturned, his left hand leaning against a crossbar, and his right hand pulling his right toe, as if shouting. On the left, there is a palm leaf fan in the right hand, and the left hand touches the stove. There is a teapot on the stove. The man looked at the tea stove calmly, as if listening to the sound of tea attentively.
The top of the boat is flat and engraved with the author's name. The word is "Autumn begins, and the book of King Yushan has just been engraved". The handwriting is as small as a mosquito's foot. Every tick and picture is clear and the font color is black. Also engraved with a seal, the words are "Chu Pingshan people", and the color of the words is red.
A total of five people and eight windows were carved on this ship; Carved a bamboo canopy, an oar, a stove, a teapot, a hand scroll, a string of rosary, couplets, titles and seal characters, totaling 34 words. But measuring the length of the nuclear ship is even less than an inch. This was originally carved from a long and narrow peach stone carving.
Cabbage carefully looked at the nuclear ship and was very surprised. Ah, the craftsmanship is really ingenious and magical! There are many skilled craftsmen recorded in Zhuangzi and Liezi, and they are known as uncanny workmanship. But who can carve easily on less than an inch of material with a knife and carve his beard and eyebrows clearly? If there is such a person, tell me what I said, and I will definitely suspect that he is lying. But now this is the fact that I have seen with my own eyes. Judging from this work, it is not impossible to carve a female monkey at the tip of a thorn. Ah, the craftsmanship is amazing!
