Chalk is something you probably see and even use every day. But have you ever thought about the possibility of turning it into a carved(雕刻) artwork using just a compass(圆规)?
Shen Sihao, 31, started doing this in high school. Growing up in Luoyang, a city in Henan Province, known for its cultural relics(遗迹) and historical sites, Shen often used his compass to carve chalk into miniature versions(微缩版本) of cultural relics and ancient buildings he read about in history books or saw around Luoyang. One of his most impressive creations was a replica(复制品) of a tower in Luoyang that looks like it has five floors from the outside but actually has nine floors inside. "It's a shame that I didn't have much time back then to do more," Shen said.
After getting a job at an Internet company in Beijing, Shen had more free time, so he decided to realize his childhood dream. Since 2024, he has been sharing videos online to present his chalk carvings, including tomb figures (俑), arrows, and more. He has gained a huge following, especially among students on social media platforms.
For Shen, the process of carving is just as wonderful as the final product. "Only by carving can I fully understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics," Shen said. For example, while carving an ancient warrior(战士), he closely studied a photo and realized that it looked a lot like Ultraman. "Maybe the design of Ultraman was inspired by an ancient Chinese warrior!" he said.
To make his carvings exact and lifelike, Shen visits museums, studies detailed drawings of relics and practises ancient Chinese calligraphy. Besides, Shen shapes his cultural relic carvings by adding elements(元素) from video games and movies, attracting his followers with these exciting changes. For example, he carved the golden cudgel(金箍棒) when the video game Black Myth: Wukong became popular and made Shiji Niangniang, a character from Ne Zha 2, when the movie became a hit. "I often carelessly break my work when it's almost done," Shen said. To Shen, carving chalk not only helps him learn more about history and culture but has also taught him patience.
It's the same with life-when you rush or try too hard, it's easy to break things. Patience and perseverance(毅力) are the key.
