一刀乾坤入魂，全手匠作，以刀为笔，洪荒之气。施雕技，正面苍龙破浪，怒目裂云，龙须似吴带当风；龙尾扫海，鳞甲铮铮若。浮云卧水处，刀锋陡转，刚处如金石劈凿，柔处似水墨氤氲，方圆相守间，尽显’潜龙在渊，见龙在田’的周易哲思。

【Azure Dragon Emerging from the Sea】
【Material】Mammoth Oil
【Size】7.5*6*2cm
【Weight】56.8g A single stroke imbues the work with soul; entirely handcrafted, the knife becomes a brush, conveying a primordial spirit. The carving technique depicts an azure dragon breaking through the waves, its angry eyes cleaving the clouds, its whiskers flowing like the wind in Wu Daozi's style; its tail sweeps across the sea, its scales gleaming. Where the clouds lie on the water, the knife's edge turns sharply, its strength like the chiseling of metal and stone, its softness like the misty ink of water. The interplay of square and round elements perfectly embodies the philosophical concept of "a dragon hidden in the abyss, a dragon appearing in the field" from the Book of Changes.
