Chapter 47 New Year Event? Go for it!
"So you mean you want to hold a New Year's Eve event on New Year's Eve."
Jia Wenyan: "Yes, Grandma Xu, according to Jingyun Bell, we only need to hold a large-scale New Year's Eve event with the replica Jingyun Bell as the theme, and we can collect a large amount of cultural spiritual power at one time."
Xu Yonghe: "But you are worried about the low temperatures in Xian'an in winter. It would be difficult to gather so many people at night for the New Year's Eve, right?"
"Yes, I did a simple calculation of the first batch of replicas of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. According to my current progress, I can indeed finish them before New Year's Eve, but most people in the north don't have the habit of going out during the New Year."
"So even if it's held indoors in a museum, I'm worried that there won't be enough people to gather there."
"And the most important thing now is that it's less than a month before the New Year's Eve. If I suddenly ask you to hold such a large-scale event, whether it's funding or event permits, it will be..."
Xu Yonghe: "I see. Let's follow your plan, right? I'll take care of the rest. You hurry up and prepare all the replicas you have."
"I understand. Thank you, Grandma Xu."
"Don't worry, these are just small matters. It's my duty to retrieve lost cultural relics. Are you sure you're going to stay in Xian'an during the New Year? Your family..."
Jia Wenyan: "There is a lot of work to do in the museum. I have already talked to them. My parents will probably take my grandparents to travel to Miaojiang during the Chinese New Year."
"That's good, but you must be careful not to get too tired during this period. It's not easy to make so many replicas of cultural relics."
"I know. I'll be fine after this period. Besides, I can't always rely on you to help me get by with real things. I also need to use other works as soon as possible to make the Yong'an Museum no longer look empty."
"Okay, Grandma Xu, I'm going back to the workshop to work first."
After saying this, Jia Wenyan turned around and went back to her workshop.
"Shi Guang, help me get ready, we are going to start working."
"Work? Teacher Jia, didn't we just finish the Porcelain Sakura?" Shi Guang, who was playing games in the dormitory, almost fell over in his gaming chair when he heard this.
"New Year's Day just passed. Is this Teacher Jia an iron man?"
From the dragon scale jade pendants at the beginning of summer vacation to the Mid-Autumn Festival exhibition headed by red jade porcelain brocade boxes and celadon porcelain.
In addition to the Terracotta Warriors for National Day, the Twelve Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crowns brought back from Yanjing, and the porcelain state gift submitted not long ago, there is also the giant porcelain cherry blossom tree that was recently prepared specifically for the New Year's Day.
Jia Wenyan's work schedule for the second half of the year can be said to be so full that it is unbelievable.
At that moment, I almost fell off the gaming chair. I really couldn't understand what kind of skills and character Jia Wenyan had to handle so many crafts in such a short time.
As the top student in the Cultural Relics Restoration major at Xian'an University, he thought he was already a very hard-working person. But now Jia Wenyan had obviously completely surpassed his perception of students and even workers.
Of course, he could understand that only a curler of this level could have Jia Wenyan's supermodel skills. Sometimes he even wondered if Jia Wenyan was an artificial person who traveled from the future.
That’s why it can be as accurate as a 3D printer, processing the desired process steps without the need for secondary processing.
But even so, Jia Wenyan's work intensity is still a bit too high.
Although she also assigned some relatively moderately difficult tasks to him and other craftsmen assigned by Dean Zhen.
But people's fatigue is not just physical. Especially when Jia Wenyan was making those craft molds and clay.
No matter how advanced her skills were, it was impossible for her to remain completely unresponsive after concentrating intensely for such a long period of time.
From the preparations for the exhibition before the Mid-Autumn Festival to now, Jia Wenyan has never had a single day off as far as he can remember.
Even an "iron man" still needs to consider the problem of "metal fatigue".
He really couldn't imagine how Jia Wenyan managed to persist in this inhumane work all year round.
At that moment, Shi Guang, who was already completely impressed, said that even when he was preparing for the college entrance examination, he might not have had the concentration and efficiency that Jia Wenyan has now.
He wanted to take a vacation, but he was also very aware of how valuable the learning opportunity with Jia Wenyan was.
Sometimes he even began to fantasize about the astonished looks his classmates would give him when he had learned enough and could demonstrate his ceramic skills in front of all of them.
However, he never expected that this time Jia Wenyan's target was not the porcelain that he thought Jia Wenyan was good at, but a completely new field that he had not even dared to think about before.
Bronze ware... This is definitely the skill that Shi Guang knows the least about in the field of Donghuang traditional craft technology.
It is not only because bronze ware was popular in an ancient time, but there is also a very important reason, which is the restrictions that bronze ware places on working conditions.
He really couldn't imagine where Jia Wenyan learned the "bronze smelting technology" from.
Then, not to mention that she was going to replicate the "Jingyun Bell", which was known as the best bell in the world of Donghuang.
When I learned the news, I was constantly searching for information about the Jingyun Bell on the Internet.
The Jingyun Bell was unveiled in 711 AD. It is 2.47 meters high, 4.86 meters in circumference and 1.65 meters in diameter. It is currently the most representative bronze national treasure in Donghuang.
In addition, the large size means extremely high weight.
With the support of copper-tin alloy, the weight of the Jingyun Bell can be increased to about 6 tons.
The 6-ton deadweight is an absolute chasm that cannot be ignored by any craftsman.
He really couldn't understand why Jia Wenyan wanted to challenge Jingyun Bell, the epitome of smelting products, right away.
But when he saw Jia Wenyan summarizing the mold design and casting ratio, he couldn't help but look at Jia Wenyan twice more.
Shi Guang OS: Teacher Jia...seems like she is really good at bronze ware.
How... did she do it?
Jia Wenyan OS: Of course I have been training with the corresponding cultural relics for several years.
Jia Wenyan looked at the young man behind her who was doubting his life and thought so in her heart.
As a craft inheritor, the spirit space of the cultural relic spirit gave her a huge advantage.
Not only can she receive technical guidance from the artifact itself in the artifact spirit space, she can even use the form of entering the space through consciousness to avoid the time cost of most craft inheritors in learning skills.
With the help of the weapon spirit, when faced with the so-called inheritance of skills, she only needed to consider whether she could learn it without worrying about other problems.
Therefore, if she had not considered that she had no other way to explain the origin of these replicas, she really did not want others to know that she had mastered so many skills that ordinary people would need to spend most of their lives to learn and improve.
Fortunately, so far, with the support of Dean Zhen, Xu Yong and Grandma Xu, she has mainly demonstrated her skills in the field of ceramics and does not seem to have attracted much attention from the public.
After all, in the eyes of most people, the craftsmanship of pottery and porcelain itself has a great deal in common. However, this time, when she announced in the live broadcast room of Station D, which she had not logged into for a long time, that she was about to challenge to replicate the world's number one bell, Zhong Jingyun, before the Spring Festival, the entire live broadcast room was instantly plunged into an unprecedented excitement.
[Jingyun Bell...is it the one I was thinking of? ]
[The big bell in the Xian'an Forest of Steles Museum? ]
[Is it the one we count down to midnight on New Year’s Eve every year? ]
[Director Jia... please accept my pious kneeling. ]
[Little Assistant, Director Jia really wants to reproduce the Jingyun Bell? ]
"Yes, although it sounds incredible, Director Jia's goal this time is indeed to reproduce the New Year's bell in our memory in a one-to-one manner."
At that moment, Shi Guang, who was in charge of the live broadcast, hurriedly replied as the comments emerged:
"At first, I thought that Director Jia was just going to make a smaller version of the exhibit, but later Director Jia told me that the purpose of making this big bell was to allow everyone to truly feel the New Year's bell sound from the world's number one bell on New Year's Eve."
"According to Director Jia's plan, as long as the replica of the Jingyun Bell can be completed before New Year's Eve, our Yong'an Museum will hold a New Year's Eve event exclusively for the Yong'an Museum on New Year's Eve."
"When the time comes, please support us from all the netizens who are planning to spend the New Year in Xian'an."
[On New Year's Eve? So they want to ring the bell at midnight?]
Shi Guang: "Yes, our curator Jia's plan is to ring the bell together with everyone who is staying up to see the New Year on New Year's Eve."
"But it is still in the preparation stage, and Director Jia said she is not sure whether the final Jingyun Bell can play the same soul-stirring New Year's bell sound as the original one."
[That's already pretty impressive. I just searched and found that the Jingyun Bell weighs a full six tons.]
[A six-ton bell, if it were built, it would definitely be a popular check-in spot that is no less popular than the Porcelain Sakura. ]
[Yes, I heard that because the original Jingyun Bell has corroded and aged, the recordings made in earlier years are played every year in the Spring Festival Gala. If Director Jia can really let us feel the New Year's bell on New Year's Eve, the scene will definitely be very shocking.]
[So is it too late for me to book a hotel now? Is it expensive to stay in Xian'an during the Chinese New Year? ]
[Also, can we set off fireworks in Xian'an now? It would be a shame if we don't set off some fireworks to celebrate such a good opportunity. ]
[Xian'an Culture and Tourism: Please rest assured, we have completed the communication with our superiors. If the Jingyun Bell of Yong'an Museum is successfully built, our Culture and Tourism Bureau will be responsible for cooperating with Yong'an Museum to hold a large-scale New Year fireworks show on New Year's Eve. ]
