牙艺微雕里的灯塔之光

在2025年2月的西安，韩鹏微雕艺术工作室里，日常被一封来自国外的邮件打破。邮件里装着一颗残破不堪的牙齿，凑近一看，烟熏火燎的痕迹遍布其上，还有一个触目惊心的大龋洞，仿佛在默默诉说着它主人的岁月沧桑。

随牙齿一同寄来的信件，揭开了一段波澜壮阔的人生故事。信是一名水手写的，他在广袤无垠的大海上漂泊了几十年，足迹踏遍世界的各个港口与码头。在那漫长的航海生涯里，惊涛骇浪如同家常便饭，生死考验也成了生活的一部分。有一次，为了在狂风巨浪中固定住轮船，他被崩断的钢缆狠狠抽打在脸上，从此留下了一道深深的疤痕。可无论经历多少艰难险阻，每当他回到家乡，最期盼看到的，便是岸上那座屹立不倒的灯塔。因为那灯塔的光芒，就像家的召唤，只要看到它，心中便有了希望，疲惫的心灵也有了归宿。

韩鹏读着这封信，看着那颗饱经岁月的牙齿，水手那张带着伤疤的坚毅脸庞，和照片里那座温暖的灯塔，在他脑海中不断交织浮现，一种难以抑制的创作激情在心底熊熊燃烧。他迫不及待地拿起笔和工具，全身心投入到设计与制作之中。

韩鹏端详着牙齿，突发奇想，把它倒过来，经过一番精心打磨，牙齿变成了一座饱经风雨侵蚀的礁石。他小心地磨去已经烂掉的牙根，将其打造为一个平台，又依照照片里灯塔的模样，在平台上修建起一座微缩灯塔。老水手在信中提到，最早的灯塔是没有围墙的，后来村民们为了看塔人的安全，才修筑了围墙。无论风雨如何肆虐，道路多么泥泞湿滑，看塔人总会按时点亮灯塔上的灯火，为远航的船只指引方向。韩鹏将这些细节一一融入创作，让这座牙艺微雕灯塔更具故事性和生命力。

韩鹏觉得，这不仅仅是一座灯塔，更是水手一生的写照。于是，他把水手那张带着伤疤的脸，用细腻的雕刻手法，隐约地刻在了礁石之上。挖去龋洞中的牙垢后，一个天然的“溶洞”便出现了。他突发奇想，往里面灌上湖蓝色的油画颜料，刹那间，这个“溶洞”仿佛变成了深邃的海底世界。韩鹏又想，溶洞里怎能少了船呢？他立刻写信给船长，请求他寄来一根白头发。收到头发后，韩鹏用它做成了一只小小的船桨，希望能让退休后的船长，还能找到在大海上乘风破浪的感觉。

完成这件饱含心血的牙艺微雕作品后，韩鹏小心翼翼地用保险把它寄给了那位老水手。不久后，船长的回信便到了。信中，老水手难掩激动与喜悦，他说自己太高兴、太满意了，这不仅仅是一件艺术品，更是他一生的回忆与见证。他决定要把这件珍贵的东西传给自己的儿孙们，让他们了解自己年轻时的故事。尽管如今科学发达，卫星导航已成为航海的主要工具，但这座灯塔，早已成为他心中永恒的希望之灯，永远闪耀着温暖的光芒，照亮他人生的每一段航程。

The Light of the Lighthouse in Dental Micro-sculpture

In February 2025, at Han Peng's Micro-sculpture Art Studio in Xi'an, the routine was broken by an email from abroad. Inside the envelope was a badly damaged tooth. Upon closer inspection, traces of being smoked and burned were all over it, and there was also a shocking large cavity, as if silently telling the vicissitudes of life of its owner.

The letter that came with the tooth revealed a magnificent life story. The letter was written by a sailor who had been drifting on the vast sea for decades, leaving his footprints in various ports and docks around the world. During that long nautical career, turbulent waves were as common as daily meals, and life-and-death tests had become a part of his life. Once, in order to secure the ship amidst strong winds and huge waves, he was severely whipped in the face by a broken steel cable, leaving a deep scar ever since. However, no matter how many hardships and obstacles he had experienced, whenever he returned to his hometown, what he most eagerly anticipated to see was the lighthouse standing firmly on the shore. Because the light of that lighthouse was like the call of home. As long as he saw it, there was hope in his heart, and his tired soul found a place to belong.

As Han Peng read the letter, looking at the tooth that had weathered the years, the resolute face of the sailor with the scar, and the warm lighthouse in the photo kept interweaving and emerging in his mind. An uncontrollable creative passion burned brightly in his heart. He couldn't wait to pick up his pen and tools and immerse himself in the design and production process.

Han Peng examined the tooth carefully and had a sudden inspiration. He turned it upside down, and after some meticulous polishing, the tooth became a reef that had been eroded by wind and rain. He carefully ground away the decayed root of the tooth and turned it into a platform. Then, following the appearance of the lighthouse in the photo, he built a miniature lighthouse on the platform. The old sailor mentioned in the letter that the earliest lighthouse had no enclosure, and later, for the safety of the lighthouse keeper, the villagers built an enclosure. No matter how violently the wind and rain raged or how muddy and slippery the road was, the lighthouse keeper would always light the lamp on the lighthouse on time to guide the ships on their long voyages. Han Peng incorporated these details one by one into his creation, making this lighthouse in dental micro-sculpture more full of stories and vitality.

Han Peng thought that this was not just a lighthouse, but also a portrayal of the sailor's entire life. Therefore, with delicate carving techniques, he vaguely carved the sailor's scarred face onto the reef. After removing the tartar in the cavity, a natural "karst cave" appeared. He had another sudden inspiration and filled it with lake blue oil paint. In an instant, this "karst cave" seemed to turn into a profound underwater world. Han Peng thought again, how could there be no boat in the karst cave? He immediately wrote to the captain, asking him to send a white hair. After receiving the hair, Han Peng used it to make a small oar, hoping that the retired captain could still find the feeling of riding the wind and waves on the sea.

After completing this dental micro-sculpture work full of painstaking efforts, Han Peng carefully sent it to the old sailor by insured mail. Soon, the captain's reply arrived. In the letter, the old sailor couldn't hide his excitement and joy. He said that he was extremely happy and satisfied. This was not just a work of art, but also a memory and witness of his entire life. He decided to pass this precious item on to his descendants, so that they could know about his stories when he was young. Although science is now highly developed and satellite navigation has become the main tool for navigation, this lighthouse has long become an eternal lamp of hope in his heart, always shining with a warm light, illuminating every journey of his life.

象牙立体微雕《天地之灵》

大概还是上小学的时候吧，我就对人体解剖特别是对人的骷髅头，有一种着魔般的感觉，每天放学都要偷偷地跑到医学院的教学大楼的解剖教研室去看尸体的标本，有次不知道是谁把一个头骨的标本放在窗台外面，竟被一个调皮的小学生用书包带回了学校放学后一帮胆大的男孩就聚在一起研究这个头骨，凭着自己浅薄的知识各自发表着高谈阔论。

几十年后，依然如故、机会终于来了，我从医院借来了两具头骨，一个男的一个女的，我准备按比例把他们缩小做到只有小拇指度那么大，我必须先画出设计图纸，把每个部分的尺寸标注出来，再来安排工艺真实把我在学校里学的机械制图的本事都用上了我选了一块非常好的象牙料子，是几十年前一个朋友送我的。所以只能成功不能失败。

开动了我刚刚购进的国产大力王磨机，那可是一台每分钟9万转的机器，高速平稳运转，发出虫鸣般声音！让我抑制不住那种创作的激情！不分昼夜的干了起来，随着时间的推移，这块小小的牙料在我的手里经过千刀万剐，终于变成了我预期的设计图纸的样子，头骨上六大块之间的骨缝细入纤毫、错落有致，非常的逼真。

额骨上那整整齐齐的两排牙齿共计32颗，粒粒可数！再用颅色渗入到牙缝里，几乎可以闻到一股口臭的味道。前庭那两个深邃的眼窝里，铅了两个极小的微孔，应该是视神经的通道，最后用毛毡球抛光，头骨竟然发出贼光！有一根5毫米的颜料做成了底座，在最显眼的位置上用小篆刻着“维天地万物父母，为人万物之灵。”

最后也是最难的一道工序，就是要把这颗投入完全掏空，因为看不见刀头的运动，只好依赖刀头和只好依赖刀具的震动来判断头颅的薄厚，稍有散失就会把头颅磨穿前功尽弃。

当关闭工作灯室所有的灯光，按下微型的开关，头颅里的LED灯，便会闪耀出幽灵般的光芒从眼睛的孔里射出来让人们不寒而栗。

在制作这件作品的过程中，我对人类有了新的认识，在其中还去了半坡博物馆和有关资料，是查阅了大量的文件，为什么地球上有成千上万种动物为有人类统治的世界主宰的地球而在不断地创造出社会发展的新动力在第一次工业革命，蒸汽机的发明，一直到现在的计算机，互联网以及AI的迅速的发展都归功于人类的大脑而现在人类对大脑的研究仅仅是非常出奇的期待着人类不断地发现对人类的发展做出更大的贡献。

Three-dimensional Ivory Micro-sculpture: The Spirit of Heaven and Earth

Probably when I was still in primary school, I had an obsessive fascination with human anatomy, especially with human skulls. Every day after school, I would secretly run to the anatomy teaching and research office in the medical school's teaching building to look at the specimens of corpses. Once, I didn't know who put a skull specimen outside the windowsill, and it was actually carried back to school in a schoolbag by a naughty primary school student. After school, a group of bold boys gathered together to study this skull and expressed their grand opinions with their meager knowledge.

Decades later, my passion remained the same. Finally, the opportunity came. I borrowed two skulls from the hospital, one male and one female. I planned to reduce their size proportionally to be as small as the size of my little finger. I had to first draw the design blueprint, mark the dimensions of each part, and then arrange the craftsmanship. I really put to use all the skills of mechanical drawing that I learned at school. I selected a very fine piece of ivory material, which was given to me by a friend decades ago. So, I could only succeed and not fail.

I started the domestically-made "Daliwang" grinding machine that I had just purchased. It was a machine that could rotate at 90,000 revolutions per minute, running smoothly at a high speed and making a sound like the chirping of insects! It made me unable to hold back my creative passion! I worked day and night. As time passed, this small piece of ivory material, after being carved and chiseled countless times in my hands, finally took on the shape as expected in the design blueprint. The sutures between the six major parts of the skull were as fine as a hair, scattered in an orderly manner, and extremely lifelike.

There were two neat rows of teeth on the frontal bone, a total of 32 teeth, each of which could be counted clearly! Then, by seeping the color of the skull into the gaps between the teeth, one could almost smell the odor of bad breath. In the two deep eye sockets of the vestibule, two extremely small micro-holes were inlaid, which should be the channels of the optic nerves. Finally, after polishing with a felt ball, the skull actually emitted a strange gleam! A base was made of a 5-millimeter piece of pigment, and in the most prominent position, there were small seal characters engraved, which read, "Heaven and Earth are the parents of all things, and humans are the spirit of all things."

The last and most difficult process was to completely hollow out this skull. Since I couldn't see the movement of the tool bit, I had to rely on the vibration of the tool bit and the tool to judge the thickness of the skull. If there was the slightest mistake, the skull would be ground through, and all my previous efforts would be in vain.

When all the lights in the workshop were turned off and the miniature switch was pressed, the LED lights inside the skull would shine with an eerie light, shooting out from the eye sockets, making people shudder.

During the process of creating this work, I gained a new understanding of human beings. I also visited the Banpo Museum and consulted a large number of relevant materials and documents. Why are there thousands of species of animals on the earth, yet only humans can rule the world and dominate the earth, constantly creating new driving forces for social development? From the invention of the steam engine in the First Industrial Revolution to the rapid development of computers, the Internet, and AI today, all these are attributed to the human brain. And now, human research on the brain is still in its infancy. I am eagerly looking forward to continuous human discoveries that will make greater contributions to human development.
