Chapter 321: This is Truly a Masterpiece!
Director Chen's incense offering was filled with sincere devotion, devoid of any pretense.
Even his gestures and subtle movements during the incense offering were more professional than those of Old Man Guo and the others.
The team from the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) group had already started filming this scene with their cameras.
These moments were meant to be recorded, and once the ICH craft project was awarded to the Cultural Park, these recordings would be preserved.
After finishing the incense offering, Director Chen expressed his desire to inspect the Cultural Park's bamboo craft production process.
Lin Mengyao, of course, did not refuse and immediately asked Director Chen, "Director Chen, what kind of bamboo craft do you like? I'll have the masters make one for you."
Director Chen thought for a moment and then looked at the Cultural Park, "I really like the Cultural Park. I wonder if it's possible to create it using bamboo?"
This request was undoubtedly challenging, as it required carving a model of the Cultural Park's main building using bamboo.
However, he wasn't intentionally making things difficult for the Cultural Park; he was genuinely excited about the craftsmanship of Liyuan Farm's Bamboo Cultural Park.
After all, the bamboo crafts he had received were of exceptional quality.
Lin Mengyao wasn't sure if she could agree to this request and immediately turned to Old Man Guo and the others.
Old Man Guo and his group exchanged glances, well aware that this was an opportunity to promote the Cultural Park's reputation.
Currently, their status and interests were tied to the Cultural Park, so they naturally wanted this place to become even more famous.
Moreover, with enough dedication, such a task could be accomplished.
Therefore, they all nodded in agreement.
Old Man Guo, as their representative, replied, "Since Director Chen likes our Cultural Park, we'll try to create a Cultural Park model using bamboo and present it to Director Chen."
Hearing this, Director Chen's face lit up with anticipation, "Then I'll trouble the masters."
Old Man Guo and his group immediately gathered and began discussing.
As they all came from families with a heritage of bamboo craftsmanship, their skills were impeccable. Soon, Old Man Guo spread out a piece of paper and began drawing.
The ICH team naturally aimed their cameras at the scene depicted in the drawing.
When the drawing was halfway done, some masters had already started preparing the bamboo.
The cameras also focused on these masters, capturing their fluid and graceful handling of the bamboo, using tools to work on the bamboo, and within a short time, smooth bamboo pieces appeared on their workbenches.
This scene alone amazed Director Chen; it was a masterly display of skill.
Naturally, Old Man Guo and his group had achieved this proficiency through practice, as they worked on similar tasks daily. The more bamboo crafts they made, the more money they earned, so they were highly dedicated.
It would be unusual if they hadn't mastered their craft by now.
This display of skill had truly surprised Director Chen and his team.
At this moment, tourists gathered around, and many already knew that the ICH team had arrived.
Liyuan Farm's Bamboo Cultural Park's bamboo craftsmanship was about to be documented by the ICH group.
So, when the masters showcased their skills, the ICH team filmed them, and now the tourists were capturing the ICH team on camera.
Before long, the news had spread online.
With Liyuan Farm's large online following and its existing popularity, this news quickly became a trending topic.
Especially now, with the ongoing excitement of the sunset photo selection, this news immediately soared to the top of the trending list.
Liyuan Farm's bamboo craftsmanship was already renowned online, and many people were keenly following this development.
Especially after the masters prepared enough bamboo strips, they embarked on a series of awe-inspiring steps.
Not only did they engage in grilling, bending, oiling, and other actions, but the blueprints drawn by Old Man Guo and his team were also revealed.
Online, people learned that the Bamboo Culture Park was creating a bamboo craft cultural park model to gift to the Intangible Cultural Heritage organization.
Crafting such a model from bamboo was undoubtedly challenging, so Old Man Guo and his team put forth their utmost skills, showcasing their inherited craftsmanship.
The diverse inherited techniques left onlookers dazzled, and when the videos were shared online, they elicited exclamations of amazement from netizens following the project.
No one had anticipated that the masters of the Bamboo Culture Park possessed such profound skills in bamboo craftsmanship.
It seemed that when they crafted bamboo fans and other bamboo products, their techniques were not fully showcased.
Compared to the current model they were creating, those items appeared too simple.
Naturally, with the attribute effects of the Bamboo Culture Park and the enhancement from their tools, even the bamboo strips cut by Old Man Guo and his team were exceptionally beautiful.
As these bamboo strips or joints were bent or shaped and then assembled, an artistic flair emerged.
Remarkably, this was still an unfinished work.
This also demonstrated the exceptional skills of the bamboo craft masters from Youcheng.
Director Chen watched with excitement. While bamboo craft inheritance existed in various places across the country, he could confidently assert that no other place could compare to Youcheng.
Even before the bamboo model was fully completed, he already had a feeling that this piece would be worthy of inclusion in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum.
It was important to know that not every craft inheritance piece could be displayed in this museum.
The museum had strict criteria, and the craftsmanship must be exceptionally high and unique.
Evidently, the bamboo craft created by the Bamboo Culture Park masters met these criteria. Moreover, as the bamboo model neared completion, Director Chen even had an illusion that it seemed to exude a rich cultural atmosphere.
He understood that this feeling was born from the cultural heritage carried within the intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship.
Among the numerous intangible cultural heritage crafts they had collected, only a few evoked such a feeling, and today, he had encountered another.
What a fortunate occurrence!
This was the craft inheritance singing in triumph, radiating its brilliance.
As time passed, the bamboo culture park model crafted by Old Man Guo and his team became increasingly refined and formed, and the artistic essence grew more intense.
Even the cultural atmosphere seemed to envelop them, immersing viewers in its essence.
It was as if this bamboo craft model encapsulated the cultural heritage of bamboo craftsmanship spanning centuries.
Moreover, its beauty and aesthetic appeal made it a rare and exceptional work of art.
However, after the piece underwent oiling and baking, and upon its completion and display on the central platform of the cultural park, Director Chen led the applause.
Indeed, witnessing the birth of an artwork through such craft inheritance techniques was a stroke of luck for them.
In an instant, thunderous applause reverberated.
Tourists surrounding the area, while clapping, also took out their phones to capture photos of the bamboo craft model.
They believed that these bamboo crafts would be captivating and might even spread online.
It was indeed a masterpiece.
Evidently, the game attribute of the Bamboo Culture Park was best exemplified in this moment.
