Chapter 411: Han Eight Swords (Page 1/1)

During the Qin and Han dynasties, when the country was strong, in the production of jade, it changed to a delicate and delicate style, showing a vigorous and broad, natural and bold artistic style.

The art of jade making in this period has been freed from the shackles of pattern art since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and from the mysterious and majestic religious atmosphere. Techniques such as hollowing and relief carving are widely used. Under the influence of painting art with realistic tendencies, it has embarked on a new path of development.

The development and evolution of ancient Chinese jade, to the Han and Han dynasties, can be said to have reached a considerable height in many aspects of type, shape and craftsmanship, especially in the elegance of style, the understanding of concepts and the extravagant application of burial, have reached the peak.

In addition, the Han Dynasty people into the grave, heavy burial, the development of a rich burial jade culture, with the grade of dignitaries after the death, the whole body to wrap with a layer of gold and silver wire or copper wire silk thread to decorate the jade piece of clothing, and in the human body in the nine orifices also stuffed into the jade.

The jade in the hands of the dead man is called the jade hand, and the eyes cover the jade, which is called the jade eye, and the ear and eye are called Er. And the jade in the mouth of the dead is called the cicada, also called the jade cicada, the jade cicada.

Han Eight Knife, is developed in this context, is a very distinctive technique in ancient Chinese jade carving techniques, is the product of the burial jade culture, its typical representative, is the Eight Knife Cicada.

Han Badao refers to a concise style of craftsmanship, not a special name for the craft, and it does not specifically refer to a certain jade.

"Eight knives" means that with a few knives, you can inject the skeleton, flesh and soul into the jade cicada, giving the jade full vitality, and its knife technique is vigorous and rough, sharp and powerful, reflecting the exquisite carving technology at that time.

Therefore, the eight of the Han Eight Swords is just a symbol, which has the meaning of repetition, and does not refer to the completion of the eight swords in general.

The representative work of "Han Eight Knife Cicada" is the Eight Knife Cicada, which is divided into the Wearing Cicada, the Crown Cicada and the Cicada, and the form of the Eight Knife Cicada usually uses concise straight lines to abstractly express its morphological characteristics.

The surface of the eight-knife cicada is smooth and clean, especially the two wings are very flat and smooth, there are two lines of confrontation, the tip is sharp, and the edge is sharp. The lines are quite beautiful, and there are many straight lines, each line is straight and powerful, as if cut out with a knife, so it is commonly known as "Han Eight Knife".

Of course, the Han Eight Knife is not exclusive to the jade cicada, but the jade cicada theme is the most extensive.

The cicada had a very high status in the minds of the ancients, and believed that the cicada was noble and noble, and had always been regarded as a symbol of purity, purity and spirituality.

Since the Han Dynasty, the feathering of cicadas has been used as a metaphor for human rebirth. Putting the jade cicada in the mouth of the deceased means that the spirit is immortal, reborn and resurrected, and even becomes an immortal.

Knowing that this jade cicada was contained in the mouth of the dead in ancient times, there were two people who wanted to take a look at it, and immediately retracted their hands.

Most of the others, however, didn't care and had their eyes shining. In their circle, there are not so many taboos, and if you think about it seriously, what thing has not been used by the dead? It is only used before or after death!

Besides, this is an eight-knife cicada in front of me, which definitely belongs to that kind of extremely rare thing, how can you not take the opportunity to appreciate it?

Han Badao craft is one of the representative works in the history of Chinese jade, with a high level of craftsmanship and artistic value, and occupies an important position in the history of Chinese jade.

After the Han Dynasty, there is no longer this style of jade, and the Han Eight Knife has long been lost, only from the unearthed burial goods of various ancient tombs, to see its style.

In fact, after the Han Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the entire jade culture in ancient times was in a state of decline, and it only prospered again in the Song Dynasty, and reached its peak after the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Ming Dynasty was able to give birth to a peerless jade carving master like Lu Zigang, because of this historical background.

"Feng Qibo, is this really Han Badao? Have you found someone to identify it?"

People who know each other look at Feng Qibo, to be honest, with their level, they don't have much research, and they really don't dare to make conclusions.

"Nonsense, I didn't identify it, I will get it here? I've already shown it to my old man, don't question it with your level!"

Feng Qibo said angrily, when he took out the things himself, they were not amazed and admired for the first time, they were actually doubting whether the things he took out were real, it was really unreasonable!

For Feng Lao, many people know him, and he is also a master-level figure in the industry, so Feng Qibo doesn't learn and has no skills, and he hasn't got his true biography. He dared to pack a ticket, there should be no fake!

No wonder, Feng Qibo, this guy is mysterious, it turns out that he got such a good thing!

In all fairness, don't look at this jade cicada is only the size of a finger, compared to its value, and Xie Xiaopang's jade Buddha is not far behind, and even with the lost skill of Han Badao, its artistic value is even higher!

"This is mutton fat white jade, right?"

Liu Yunfei observed this ancient jade cicada, the whole jade cicada, yellowish-white, crystal moist, its body is flat and thin, the eyes are protruding, with the Han Eight knife method in the front to draw out the wings, the back out of the abdomen, the lines are smooth, concise, the workmanship is meticulous and exquisite, it is really a treasure in the eight knife cicadas.

It's a pity that it may not be played for a long time, it looks a little obscure, not smooth and bright enough, and loses some of its jade nature. However, even if this is the case, it does not prevent Liu Yunfei from recognizing its true face.

This is not a big flaw, and he believes that as long as he persistently plays with it in the future, he will definitely be able to restore its style.

"Mutton fat white jade, right?"

"Is it a thousand-year-old jade, or mutton fat white jade, what is this concept?"

"Have you read it, will you show me too?"

……

Liu Yunfei's words caused another commotion, and everyone present wanted to take a look. It's a pity that I can only look at it from the side now, and if I want to get started, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

Who called Ren Ren and Feng Qibo so iron? There must be priority. Not to mention, Liu Yunfei is also the initiator of this exchange meeting, and the level of people is also there.

"Ah Fei, your vision is still so sharp, that's right, my old man has appraised it, this is mutton fat white jade, and it is colored, it looks a little ugly now, and when I put it on the plate for a few years, it will be perfect." ”

Feng Qibo said proudly, he had to admire Liu Yunfei's vision, even in the mouth of the old man of his family, Liu Yunfei was someone else's child, and he couldn't have jealous thoughts.

Qin color, this situation Zhao Tianming also knows that this kind of appearance, elephant often appears on the unearthed ancient jade.

The unearthed ancient jade, eroded by various underground substances for a long time, fumigated by the earth's gas, the inside of the jade piece, often undergoes some changes, such as the appearance of soil spots, rust and other colors, commonly known as "Qin color".

Whether there is color or not is an important basis for judging jade.
