Reborn Troops

Master Zhongshan nodded and said: "Young man, it is good to have ideas, but you must also be down-to-earth.

Design is an art that requires continuous learning and accumulation. I hope you can stick to it. "

"Thank you, Master. I will remember your words." Zhou Wanwan said gratefully.

Just then, the female assistant came in: "Master, your next appointment has arrived."

Master Zhongshan stood up and said to Zhou Wanwan: "The time is up, you can go back. I hope to see a more in-depth design next time I see you."

Zhou Wanwan bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard."

After leaving the studio, Zhou Wanwan couldn't calm down for a long time.

Master Zhongshan's words gave her great inspiration, and she decided to re-examine her design and incorporate more cultural elements.

When she got home, she immediately called Qianqian: "Qianqian, I met Master Zhongshan!"

"Really? What did he say?" Qianqian asked excitedly.

"He said my designs lacked soul and suggested that I look for inspiration from traditional culture." Zhou Wanwan relayed Master Sun Yat-sen's words one by one.

"That sounds reasonable." Qianqian agreed, "So how do you plan to change it?"

“I wanted to incorporate elements of the cornucopia, adding traditional patterns such as auspicious clouds and lotus.”

Zhou Wanwan said, "However, this requires redesign, which may take some time."

"It's okay, we have plenty of time." Qianqian comforted, "What's important is that the design is perfect."

After Zhou Wanwan hung up the phone, Master Zhongshan's advice kept echoing in her mind.

Shen Wansan's model? She never thought of combining historical figures with jewelry design.

This was undoubtedly a bold attempt. She immediately turned on the computer and began to look up information about Shen Wansan.

She picked up the brush and began to sketch on the paper. The image of Shen Wansan gradually became clear:

He is dressed in the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, holding a treasure bowl, with a smile on his face, as if showing his wisdom and wealth to the world.

Zhou Wanwan combined his image with traditional patterns such as auspicious clouds and lotus to design a unique pendant.

However, when she showed the sketch to Qianqian, Qianqian frowned.

"Wanwan, isn't this design... a little too complicated?" Qianqian said, pointing at the sketch.

“Although Shen Wansan’s image is very telling, would it look too heavy if it were placed on a pendant?”

Zhou Wanwan was stunned and looked at the sketch carefully. Indeed, although Shen Wansan's image was exquisite,

But when placed on a pendant, it seems a bit too complicated and may affect the comfort of wearing.

"You're right. I may have focused too much on the story and neglected the practicality." Zhou Wanwan sighed, "Then what should I do? I don't want to give up Shen Wansan's wish."

Qian Qian pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "How about this,

We can simplify the image of Shen Wansan, retaining only his outline, or use symbolic patterns to represent him.

For example, using the shape of a cornucopia, or his official hat as a design element.”

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Yes! This way, we can retain the elements of Shen Wansan without making the design appear too complicated."

She immediately started designing again, this time retaining only the outlines of Shen Wansan's official hat and the treasure bowl.

By cleverly combining it with patterns such as auspicious clouds and lotus, a pendant that is simple yet profound was designed.

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan came to Master Zhongshan's studio again with a new design. Master Zhongshan looked at her design carefully and nodded:

"This design is a big improvement over the previous one. The elements of Shen Wansan are incorporated very cleverly, which not only retains the story but also takes practicality into consideration."

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Master. Your advice has given me a lot of inspiration."
