02 作品 翠鸟

03 唐琦的作品多以蝉为题材

04 获奖作品 螳螂捕蝉

趴在竹节上的蝉，黄葛树叶上的蝉，葵花上的蝉……在唐琦工作室，我们见到了各式各样以蝉为主题的黄杨木雕作品。

今年54岁的唐琦，是重庆市工艺美术大师，市级非物质文化遗产渝派黄杨木雕传承人。

“黄杨木雕”“东阳木雕”“龙眼木雕”“金漆木雕”并称为“中国四大木雕”。不同于东南沿海地区的以人物为主，中国工艺美术大师柯愈勄开创的“渝派黄杨木雕”，只雕花鸟鱼虫，以意境为主，在全国的黄杨木雕中独树一帜。

The cicada lying on the bamboo joint, the cicada on the leaves of the ficus virens, the cicada on the sunflower… At Tang Qi's studio, we saw various wood carvings of boxwood with cicada as the theme.

Tang Qi, 54 years old, is an arts and crafts master in Chongqing and the inheritor of Chongqing-school boxwood carving - a municipal intangible cultural heritage.

"Boxwood carving", "Dongyang relief", "Longyan wood carving" and "gold and lacquer wood carving"are known as "China's four major wood carvings".Different from the wood carvings based on figures in the southeast coastal areas, the "Chongqing-school boxwood carving" - created by Ke Yumin, a master of arts and handicrafts in China - only carves flowers,birds, fish and insects, with the artistic conception as the main, and has its own style among the boxwood carvings throughout China.

09/10 唐琦于花鸟鱼虫中，又独钟于蝉

而唐琦于花鸟鱼虫中，又独钟于蝉。这是源自师傅柯愈勄定下的规矩：每个人必须有一个自己一生创作的“主体”。唐琦选择蝉，或许正有以蝉自喻的成分。“蝉蛹在地底静待七八年，甚至十几年，才能破土存活短暂的三个星期，实为大器晚成、纯洁永生的象征。”自2007年拜师专职从事黄杨木雕，唐琦已经专注刻蝉12年，“人的一辈子精力有限，如果能将一件事情做到极致，就是成功。”

所以，一切都在预料之中：唐琦的《螳螂捕蝉》在第十三届工艺美术大师暨国际艺术精品博览会上获得“中国工艺美术精品奖”金奖，《一叶知秋》获2014年中国工艺美术大师精品博览会金奖……

Among flowers, birds, fish and insects, Tang Qi has special feelings for cicadas. This is derived from the rules set by Master KeYumin： everyone must have a "subject" of his lifetime creation. Tang Qi has chosen cicadas may partly because he has used them as a metaphor for himself. "The cicada pupas stay in the earth for seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, to break through the earth and survive for three short weeks. Cicada is really a symbol of late bloomer and pure eternal purity. "Tang Qi has been dedicated to cicada carving for 12 years since 2007, when he began to learn skills form masters and full-time engaged in boxwood carving,"People have limited energy in their whole life. If they can do one thing extremely well, it is success. ”

Therefore, everything was expected： Tang Qi's works "mantis stalking cicada" won the gold medal of "Chinese Arts and Crafts Excellent Award" in the 13th Arts And Crafts Masterwork Exhibition and International Crafts Exhibition, and his works "one falling leaf is indicative of the coming of autumn"won the gold medal of Chinese Arts And Crafts Masterwork Exhibition in 2014...

唐琦的桌上，各式雕刻刀一字排开，有的还是他专门设计制作的，“蝉的每个部分，都要用不同的工具。”唐琦雕刻的蝉，规格大都在5厘米内，纹理细致纤毫毕现，除了合适的刀具，更考验着制作者的细心、耐心，手力、眼力。“完成一件雕刻作品，短则20天，长时需两个月。”

不过在唐琦看来，木工精细并不是一件作品最重要的地方。渝派黄杨木雕讲究有“形”有“意”，“我有时会觉得以前的作品不够好，觉得蝉不够生动，便会用拿工具刀再修一修。有时也会想到更好的创作想法，便会整个推翻，重做。”

因木质坚韧、纹理细腻、色泽湿润，黄杨木雕作品会随着年深日久，颜色由浅转深，愈发古朴。如今，作为柯愈勄的大弟子，唐琦也有了自己的徒弟。匠心，也就这样在心手相传中慢雕细琢，如一件件木雕作品一般由形而意，深沉、积淀。

On Tang Qi's desk, all kinds of carving knives are arranged in a row, some of which are specially designed and made by him, "each part of the cicada needs a different tool. " Cicadas carved by Tang Qi are mostly within 5 cm in size, with very fine texture. In addition to the need for appropriate knives, cicada carving also tests the carefulness,patience, hand power and eyesight of the maker."It takes as short as 20 days or as long as two months to complete a work of carving. ”

But for Tang Qi, fine woodworking is not the most important thing about a piece of work.Chongqing-school boxwood carving is particular about "form" and "meaning". "I sometimes feel that some of my previous works are not good enough and cicadas are not vivid enough, then I will modify them with my tool knives. Sometimes I come up with better creative ideas, and I will tear the old works down and make new ones. ”

Due to their tough wood, fine texture and moist colors, the wood carving works of boxwood will change from light to dark in color and become more primitive with the passing years. Now, as KeYumin's big disciple,Tang Qi also has his own disciples. Craftsmanship is thus carefully carved in the process of being conveyed by heart and hand, just like wood carving works,gradually accumulating from shape to meaning,becoming deep.
