Except for everyone's breathing, no one could hear any sound in the arena, and An Zhisu's half-understood words seemed to be echoing over and over in his mind.
Not generous, but passionate.
It's not sensational, but it makes people's noses sore after listening to it.
An Zhisu sketched out pictures of Qingxi Village for them. They saw farmers working hard to beat hemp in the ramie fields, they saw peasant women washing yarn in the crystal clear stream, and they saw the dying old woman weaving.
Weaving with hunched waist in front of the machine. They saw one generation born and another generation dying...
When they looked at the Hanfu shroud designed by An Zhisu, they suddenly felt that it was full of stories. It was not an ordinary shroud, but a complete life of a person, a village, and the inheritance of skills.
If they still think it is an unlucky design, then they are stupid. As designers, everyone has had persistence and dreams. Some people have lost their dreams along the way and forgotten their original intentions.
Some people still insist that although they are unknown, they are more meaningful than what they do.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
On the judging panel, Professor Amanda was the first to applaud An Zhisu, and you could see crystal tears in her eyes. People like her and Professor Guan, who are buried up to their necks in soil, are the ones who can best understand what An Zhisu wants to express.
meaning.
This is undoubtedly the most unique and meaningful work in this competition, and there is no one like it.
Professor Guan followed closely behind, cheering for her and being proud of her.
The other slightly younger judges tasted it for a while before clapping along and nodding in agreement.
"Miss An, there are many embroideries on the shroud you designed. I see that each pattern is different. What is the meaning of those patterns?" Professor Amanda asked with interest.
At this time, no one would mind that An Zhisu's game lasted longer than others, because they were also curious about what those patterns represented.
"Thank you to the judging panel for giving me time to talk about these details." An Zhisu bowed his thanks first, and then began to elaborate on the detailed design of the shroud itself.
"I used a vertical stand-up collar for this Hanfu shroud, which represents upright and honest quality. I used wide sleeves for the design of the cuffs. The wide sleeves are elegant and beautiful, which means that the soul ascends to the paradise world. As for the patchwork embroidery on it,
Each has its own meaning.
Not to mention the Liansheng Takako on the innermost bellyband, it represents a person’s birth. The pattern of the tiger-head shoes represents toddling, the small school bag represents chaotic enrollment. The admission notice represents going to college.
Yes, this bachelor's cap represents graduation from college. This key represents having one's own home through one's own hard work.
The pattern of a man and a woman getting married represents getting married, and the baby's face represents the birth of a child. The pattern of a family portrait represents a family full of descendants, and the skirt is embroidered with a coffin pattern, which represents burial. There is also this
The pattern embroidered on the waist belt represents the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and complements the five elements of the deceased."
Wherever An Zhisu spoke, his fingers pointed, and every pattern embroidered was vivid and lifelike. The entire shroud carries the trajectory of a person's life from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom.
From birth, to babbling, toddling, to entering school for the first time, to gaining fame, to achieving academic success, to settling down, to marrying a wife and having children, to having children and grandchildren, and finally to being laid to rest.
All living things return to their homeland.
Everyone finally understood the meaning of these four words. Whether it was the selection of fabrics, the embroidery of patterns, or the handling of details, they all revolved around this idea and theme.
It is so perfect that no flaws can be found, and it is of great significance. If such a work cannot be displayed in a costume museum, then whose work has this qualification?
The answer is beyond doubt.
With the display of the last work over, the entire competition has come to an end. The jury will finally announce the list of shortlisted works. During the intermission, many designers came over to exchange design ideas with An Zhisu, and exchanged business cards and
Contact information, hoping that we can have the opportunity to cooperate with each other.
An Zhisu became the focus and darling of the audience. As Professor Guan said, if you bloom, the breeze will come.
Half an hour later, the judging panel released the list of shortlisted works, announced by Professor Amanda as the jury representative.
The first name Professor Amanda announced was An Zhisu. The words "All sentient beings return home" appeared on the big screen, and it was in Chinese. This was an additional request made by Professor Guan, and the organizer agreed. And after the work was displayed in the museum
, it will also be introduced mainly in Chinese, with English and French as auxiliary translations.
An Zhisu stood up to thank him. This was what Professor Guan had expected, but it was an unexpected surprise for her.
Professor Amanda continued to announce the shortlist, and An Zhisu immediately sent the news to Ye Lancheng via WeChat.
Ye Lancheng: I've been watching you.
An Zhisu raised her head. At this time, a camera happened to be shooting at her. She raised her hands and made a "heart-to-heart" gesture to the camera.
City S, in front of the TV.
Ye Lancheng saw his young wife's expression of love, and his thin lips curved, silently responding to her.
Iloveyoutoo.
Inside the arena.
The announcement of the list is still going on, and the shortlisted designers are very excited. This is the first honor in the world. Maybe such a competition will be held every year in the future, but it will never be as glorious as the first batch displayed in the Costume Museum.
It has a commemorative significance, just like the first batch of Nobel Prize winners, it will be recorded in history and will be remembered forever.
An Zhisu listened carefully to the shortlist. This time, a total of five designers came from Asian countries. Four designers' works were actually shortlisted. Only Li Youli's work failed. The others were all designs from European countries.
You know, every shortlisted work has a representative meaning.
An Zhisu secretly sighed at the risk. Fortunately, the Hanfu shroud she designed was unique enough and meaningful enough, otherwise she would most likely lose to Li Youli. After all, Li Youli's strength was also there.
After the list is announced, the competition comes to an end. You can have a day off tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the entry ceremony of the works, which will be held at the same time as the award ceremony. Designers who are not shortlisted can also participate.
An Zhisu walked out of the venue surrounded by designers, and bumped into Li Youli at the entrance of the venue. He thought she would come over to stab him again, but he didn't expect that she walked up to him and said, "I'm sorry."
An Zhisu:......
What kind of trick is this? I'm a bit clever.
An Zhisu suspected that Li Youli was possessed by a ghost, and he actually came to apologize to her. Did she lose face?
"Hey, you can't be so stingy, I've already told you I'm sorry." Seeing that she didn't answer, Li Youli's arrogant temper became a little brighter again.
"Oh." An Zhisu responded and nodded: "I accept it."
