Origin Story
在一个宁静的小山村里，住着一位擅长雕刻的老人和一位心灵手巧的织布姑娘。老人的木雕栩栩如生，每一个细节都精雕细琢，充满了古朴的气息；姑娘的织锦色彩斑斓，图案精美，展现了独特的民族风格。他们的作品风格迥异，却在村子里的展览会上意外地摆放在一起。起初，村民们觉得这两种风格差异太大，难以融合。但仔细欣赏后，却发现两者之间竟意外地和谐统一。老人雕刻的木雕，质朴而厚重，与姑娘织锦的明艳和轻盈形成对比，却又彼此映衬，相得益彰。木雕的古朴与织锦的绚丽，恰如山水画卷中的山与水，相映成趣，共同构成了一幅别样的乡村风景画。
In a quiet mountain village lived an old man skilled in carving and a clever weaving girl. The old man's wood carvings were lifelike, every detail meticulously carved, full of a simple and ancient atmosphere; the girl's brocade was colorful, with exquisite patterns, showcasing a unique national style. Their works were different in style, but they were unexpectedly placed together at the village exhibition. At first, the villagers thought that the two styles were too different to blend. But after careful appreciation, they found that the two were unexpectedly harmonious and unified. The old man's simple and heavy wood carvings contrasted with the bright and light brocade of the girl, yet complemented each other, enhancing each other's beauty. The simplicity of the wood carvings and the splendor of the brocade were just like the mountains and water in a landscape painting, complementing each other and together forming a unique rural landscape painting.
