In the Ming Dynasty, there was an ingenious man, Wang Shuyuan, who could make palaces out of wood with a diameter of inches. Vessels, figures, even birds, animals, wood and stones, regardless of the occasion, each had 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, and the canopy covers it. There are small windows on the side, four on the left, four on the right and eight on the * *. When you open the window, the carved columns are opposite. If it is closed, it is engraved on the right with "the mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water comes out" and on the left with "the breeze is Xu Lai, and the water waves are stagnant", which is the same as the stone.
There are three people sitting in the bow. Dongpo is the one with the highest crown and the most beards. Fo Yin is on the right and Lu Zhi is on the left. Sue and Huang have read books. Dongpo's right hand is holding a curly tail, and his left hand caresses Lu Zhi's back. Lu Zhi held the end of the book in his left hand and the book in his right hand, 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. Lie flat on your right knee, hold the boat on your right arm, stand on your left knee, and lean on it with your left arm missing the beads-the beads can be counted vividly.
The stern is horizontal. There is a boat on each side. The man who lives on the right has a spine bun on his back, his left hand leans against a balance beam, and his right hand climbs his right toe, which makes him scream. 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.
When the back of the ship was slightly reduced, it was engraved with an inscription, saying, "It's the beginning of autumn, and the book of King Yushan is carved far away." As thin as a mosquito's foot, it is painted with a hook and the color is ink. He also used a seal chapter, which read "Chupingshan people" and its color Dan.
Row a boat for five; Window 8; Make a tent, a pot, a stove, a pot, a hand roll and a rosary; Couplets, titles and seal scripts are * * * with thirty characters and four characters. As far as its length is concerned, it is unprofitable. Cover the peach pit and trim it. Hey, the skills are also strange!
Translation:
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a man with special skills named Wang Shuyuan. He can carve palaces, vessels, figures, birds, animals, trees and stones from wood with a diameter of one inch. There is nothing that does not simulate the shapes of those things according to the original appearance of wood, and each has its own appearance and posture. (He) once sent me a boat engraved with peach stones, which described Su Shi's boat trip to Chibi.
The bow is a little more than eight minutes from the stern, about two yellow rice grains high. The high and open part in the middle is a hut covered with a canopy made of bamboo leaves. There are small windows next to it, four on the left and four on the right, and one has eight. Open the window, and the carved railings are opposite. Close the window and you will see a couplet. On the right side, the words "the mountain is high and the moon is small, and the bottom is clear" are engraved. On the left, azurite painted the words "Xu Lai is breezy, and the water is quiet".
There are three people sitting on the bow with a tall hat in the middle. The man with a bushy beard is Su Dongpo (Su Shi), Fo Yin (Su Shi's good friend) is on the right, and Lu Zhi (Huang Tingjian) is on the left. Su Dongpo and Huang Lu Zhi looked at a painting and calligraphy scroll. Su Dongpo holds the right end of the paper roll in his right hand, and his left hand gently presses on Lu Zhi's back.
Lu Zhi left hand holding the left end of the paper roll, right hand pointing to the hand roll, as if to say something. Su Dongpo showed his right foot, Lu Zhi showed his left foot, and his body tilted slightly. Their knees close to each other are covered in the pleats at the bottom of the hand roll (that is, you can see the outline of both knees). Fo Yin is very much like Maitreya Buddha and Bodhisattva in Buddhism, showing her breasts and looking up to all beings. His expression is different from that of Su Dongpo and Lu Zhi. Fo Yin's right knee lay down, his right arm was bent and supported on the boat, his left knee stood upright, and a string of rosaries hung on his left knee-the rosaries were counted clearly.
There is an oar at the stern. There is a boatman on the left and right sides of the paddle. The boatman on the right wears a pyramid-shaped bun, leans back, leans his left hand against a crossbar, and pulls his right toe with his right hand, as if shouting. The man on the left has a palm leaf fan in his right hand, and his left hand gently presses the stove, and there is a kettle on the stove. The man looked straight at the tea stove and looked calm, as if listening to the sound of tea tasting.
The back of the boat is flat, and the author writes his name on it. The word is "the apocalypse is endless in autumn, and the book of King Yushan has just been engraved". The strokes are as thin and clear as mosquito's feet, and its color is black. Also engraved with a seal, the word is "Chu Pingshan people", and the color of the word is red.
A boat, carving five people and eight windows; Tents, paddles, stoves, teapots, hand rolls and rosaries made of bamboo leaves; Couplets, titles and seal scripts are engraved with 34 words. But counting its length, it's still less than an inch. It turned out to be carved with a long and narrow peach stone. Hey, the skill is really ingenious and wonderful!

theme
The sculpture written in this paper is made of a peach pit that is not big enough, but it vividly reproduces a famous allusion in the literary world of the Song Dynasty-"Red Cliff of the Great Soviet". Ingenious conception and vivid image show the outstanding achievements of ancient Chinese arts and crafts. After careful observation, the author accurately grasped all the details of this sculpture, and then described the whole nuclear ship according to a certain spatial order, wrote the author's love for nuclear ships, and expressed the author's admiration for the superb skills of artist Wang Shuyuan and the ancient folk art in China.
Writing characteristics
This paper describes in detail and methodically a micro-carving work-nuclear ship which he obtained by using line drawing technique, and it adopts the structural mode of "total-divided total".
First of all, it briefly introduces the "ingenuity" and comprehensiveness of Wang Shuyuan's micro-carving skills, which is not only a summary of the full text, but also a preparation for getting down to business. Although the words are short, they are very useful and indispensable. Then it introduces the story and artistic conception of Su Dongpo's boating on Chibi in detail. From the whole ship to the part, from the bow to the stern, from the furnishings to the characters, it is written calmly and clearly without any confusion. Particular attention is paid to the description of details, such as the couplets on the carved column, the gestures and expressions of the characters at the bow, and the movements of the ship, all of which are vividly written, which makes people admire Wang Shuyuan's carved gods and Wei Xueyi's careful observation.
Sculptors and writers can be said to invent each other and complement each other. From the description, Wang Shuyuan not only has superb micro-carving skills, but also has extraordinary insight. His performance on Dongpo's trip to Chibi is not a simple reproduction of history, but a reasonable transformation and processing of historical facts. For example, the couplet on the carved column, on the right, "The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the truth is clear" was written by Su Dongpo in October, and on the left, "The breeze is Xu Lai, and the water is quiet" was a famous sentence written by Su Dongpo in July.
Although the season is a bit wrong, it plays an important role in revealing the moonlit scenery of Dongpo boating. For example, the three people carved on the bow are lifelike and picturesque, but they are inconsistent with historical facts. Because Dongpo went boating on Chibi, there was only one guest for the first time, and there were two guests for the second time, both of whom had no names, and neither Huang Tingjian nor Fo Yin attended. Now Wang Shuyuan has dragged them together, which of course reflects his ideological sustenance. Fo Yin will soon embody Dongpo's Zen spirit and let his best friend Huang Tingjian relieve his loneliness.
Finally, the summary explanation of the nuclear boat is to deepen the reader's impression of the great content expressed in the micro-sculpture, and at the same time naturally transition to the author's discussion, and once again express the author's praise for this micro-sculpture. At the end, the number of people, windows and other things carved on the ship and the total number of lettering are counted, and the echo of "its length is never enough" begins to emphasize that the material is small in size and has large carving capacity, and then ends with "hip, skill is also amazing" Make the article as detailed and complete as a nuclear ship, which makes people fondle it.
The language of this article is plain and concise, especially the description of the characters on board. Every sentence comes from the author's examination. Real and vivid, not exaggerated. The combination of painting and painting is not only superficial, but also vivid. For example, write Su Dongpo and Huang, with the shaft end in the right hand and the back in the left hand. Lu Zhi held the end of the book in his left hand and the book in his right hand, saying something. "
This is not only the left foot, but also the micro side. Compared with the knees, the lower paragraph is hidden and is also a very delicate writing. It is written as "Maitreya Buddha, topless and defiant", which highlights the characteristics of this monk image and does not belong to scholars Su and Huang. After reading it, people have the feeling of seeing the "Red Cliff of the Great Soviet" with their own eyes.
Lu Ciyun, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, wrote "The Picture of Ancient and Modern Literature": "Those who engrave nuclear ships are good at literature, while those who remember nuclear ships are good at literature. How is it different from Daozi's sketch? You said,' strange skills!' Yu Yue:' Wen Yi is very strange!' "
Qin, a contemporary writer and educator, introduced and commented on The Story of the Nuclear Ship: "It is reasonable that people have always stressed the need to choose famous works in selecting texts, but it does not mean that all famous works can be selected as texts. Although Wei Xueyi is not a famous writer, his "The Story of the Nuclear Ship" is an excellent text with both literariness and aesthetics, which is exemplary. "
