There is a clever person named Wang Shuyuan who can use wood of an inch in diameter to create palaces, utensils, people, and even birds, beasts, wood and rocks, regardless of the situation, and each has its own mood. Chang Yi
(pronounced yi with two tones, gift) I have a nuclear boat, and the clouds cover Dasu and the red cliff.
The length of the boat from head to tail is about eight minutes, and its height is about two millimeters. The open cabin in the middle pavilion is covered with a bamboo canopy. There are small windows on the side, four on each side and eight on the left. Open the window and look at each other with carved railings. Close it, and then engrave on the right "The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water comes out," and on the left "The breeze is coming slowly, and the water is sluggish." The stone is green and gritty (pronounced san three times, splashing).
There are three people sitting on the bow of the boat. In the middle, the one with the crown of E and many beards is Dongpo, Foyin is on the right, and Lu Zhi is on the left. Su and Huang *** read a hand scroll. Dongpo held the scroll in his right hand and stroked Lu Zhi's back with his left hand. Lu Zhi held the end of the scroll in his left hand and fingered the scroll with his right hand, as if he had something to say. Dongpo's right foot is shown, and Lu Zhi's left foot is shown, each slightly sideways, with the two knees facing each other hidden in the folds of the clothes at the bottom. Buddha
The seal is very similar to Maitreya, with his breasts exposed, his head raised and his eyes raised, his expression is not that of Su or Huang. He lay down on his right knee, stretched out his right arm to support the boat, and raised his left knee.
His left arm hung a rosary and leaned against it--you can count the beads clearly.
The stern of the boat lies horizontally with a stick (pronounced ji with two sounds, boat oar). There is one boatman on the left and right. The person on the right has her back in a bun with her spine in a bun, her left hand leaning on a rung, and her right hand holding her right toes, as if whistling
. The person on the left is holding a palm fan in his right hand and stroking the stove with his left hand. There is a pot on the stove. He is looking up and looking calm, as if listening to the sound of tea.
The back of the ship is slightly flat, and there is an inscription on it. The text reads: "On the autumn day of Renxu, Wang Yishu of Yushan was just carving it when he was far away." He also used seal script
Chapter 1, and the text said "People from Pingshan at the beginning", which is red in color.
Total one boat, five people; eight windows; one each for a bamboo canopy, a kettle, a stove, a pot, a hand scroll, and a rosary; couplets, titles and seal scripts, for the characters** *Three
Four out of ten. And its length has never been enough. The person who covers the simple peach core and repairs the narrowness is used for it. Hee, your skills are amazing!
Translation: In the Ming Dynasty, there was a very skillful man (his name) named Wang Shuyuan. (He) could use wood with a diameter of one inch to make palace buildings and utensils.
, characters, even birds, beasts, trees and stones, all are carved out of lifelike images according to the material, and all kinds of things have (unique) moods.
(He) once gave me a (carved) boat with a core, (carved) probably said Su Shi (Su Shi) boating in Red Cliff (scene).
The boat is about eight minutes long from beginning to end, and is almost as high as two grains of millet. The raised and spacious place in the middle is the cabin, which is covered with a bamboo canopy. There are small windows on the side, four on the left and eight on the left and right. Open the window and see that the carved railings correspond to each other. Close it (window), then (you will see)
The right side is engraved with "The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water comes to light", and the left side is engraved with "The breeze comes slowly, the water is calm", and the azure color penetrates into the inscriptions.
There are three people sitting on the bow. The one in the middle wearing a tall hat and full beard is Su Dongpo, Foyin is on the right, and Lu Zhi is on the left. Su (Shi) and Huang (Lu
Zhi) read a scroll together. Dongpo held the right end of the scroll in his right hand and supported Huang's back with his left hand. Lu Zhi was holding the left end of the scroll in his left hand and pointing at the scroll with his right hand, as if he was speaking. Dongpo showed his right foot, and Lu Zhi showed his left foot. Each turned slightly sideways, their knees were very close to each other, and they were respectively hidden in the folds of clothes under the scroll.
The Buddha's seal is very similar to the Maitreya Buddha, with his chest exposed and his head raised. His expression is not the same as that of Su (Shi) or Huang (Lu Zhi). Lying on his side with his right knee bent, his right arm (elbow) bent to support the boat, his left knee raised, and a rosary hanging from his left arm placed on his knee - the beads can be clearly seen Count them clearly (the grains are clear).
A pair of paddles lie across the stern of the boat. There is one sailor on each side of the oar. The sailor on the right has a vertebral bun with his face raised, his left hand leaning on a crossbar, and his right hand grabbing his right toes as if shouting. The sailor on the left is holding a cattail leaf fan in his right hand and stroking the stove with his left hand. There is a kettle on the stove. The man's eyes are straight and his appearance is quiet, as if he is listening to the sound of tea.
The bottom of the boat was a little flat, so I wrote an inscription on it. The text is "Apocalypse (year name) in the autumn of Renxu year, Yushan (name of place) Wang Yi (name) Shuyuan (character name)
Master carved", (writing strokes) as small as a mosquito's feet, each hook and stroke are clear, and its color is inky black. There is also a seal in seal script with the text
"Chu Pingshan People" and its color is red.
Tong *** calculated a boat, carved five people; carved eight windows; carved a bamboo canopy, carved boat slurry, carved a stove, carved a kettle, carved a hand scroll, carved
One rosary each; couplets, title and seal script, with thirty-four inscriptions. But its length is less than an inch. Pick something long and narrow like a peach pit to make it. Ah,
The skills are so dexterous and magical!
Feeling: It is an exquisite handicraft, the objects are exquisitely carved, and the description of the article is clear and clear. complement each other.
Because it is purely an explanatory article without any ideological content, there are no more thoughts.
In the text, "ship's back" is translated as "ship's top". I think it is wrong, so I translated it as "ship's bottom". Due to the general practice of handicrafts, the author's signature cannot
destroy the theme of the work and be placed in a prominent part of the work. It is usually signed at the end, secondary, or hidden place.
