Chapter 407: Dushan Jade

Dushan jade, also known as Duyu and Nanyang jade, is produced in Dushan, Nanyang, and is one of the four famous jades in China.

Dushan jade is rich in color, unevenly distributed, and shaded, and the same piece of jade often appears due to different mineral combinations, and a variety of colors coexist, which is the main feature of Dushan jade.

Its quality is tough and dense, delicate and soft, luster and transparent, the color is mottled and luster, and there are many color types, which is a first-class raw material for jade carving.

It is said that the famous national treasure of the Great Jade Sea Jade Carving of Dushan Mountain is carved from Dushan jade. Weighing 3,500 kilograms, it took 15 years to carve a giant jade and art treasure that is rare in the world.

The outer wall of the jade carving is carved with a natural and lifelike demeanor of dragons, seahorses, sea pigs, sea deer, sea rhinos, conchs, flying fish, and other animals and strange birds and beasts, floating and sinking in the turbulent sea, the project is huge, and the momentum is magnificent.

Due to the color minerals and a variety of pigment ions it contains, the color of Dushan jade is complex and varied. Among the Dushan jade produced, more than half of it is variegated jade, three are green jade, and only one percent is white jade.

Dushan jade is the best with positive color, high transparency, delicate texture and no impurity cracks. Among them, hibiscus stone, permeable white jade, and green jade are of high value. In addition, the beautiful jade carvings that use different colors of jade blocks to imitate natural production have been well received.

The high-quality Dushan jade requires a dense and delicate texture, no cracks, no white tendons and impurities, a single and uniform color, and the transparency is translucent and nearly transparent.

The high-grade emerald green Dushan jade is similar to Burmese jadeite, so it has the reputation of "Nanyang jadeite".

The jade Buddha in front of you is made of white Dushan jade as the material, carefully carved, and you can see that it is a rare boutique at a glance.

Before the little fat man could introduce him, many people who saw the hunt and liked it came forward to take a look and hung him aside.

White Dushan jade, overall white, milky white, delicate texture, with oil-like luster, often translucent, slightly transparent or opaque.

According to the different transparency and texture, there are three kinds of permeable white, oil white and dry white, among which permeable white is the best.

The material of this jade Buddha, although the transparency is not high, can not reach the degree of permeable white, but the surface is shiny and shiny, the texture is delicate, and it is also a rare oil white variety. Moreover, looking at this head, I am afraid that it weighs fifty or sixty pounds.

This kind of Dushan jade work is rare, plus such a carving, where did this little fat man find it?

Everyone's first reaction was that this jade carving might be fake, and they were gearing up one by one, trying to find some flaws and slap the little fat man's face.

This is probably also the habit and characteristic of the antique industry, and the identification of an object is a process from doubt to affirmation.

"You don't have to look for it, I took it to my uncle for appraisal, and he told me that this is still an ancient jade from the Ming Dynasty, worth more than 10 million. ”

The little fat man knew what this group of people had in mind at a glance, and couldn't help but proudly announce that he would move out his uncle's name. Is it so easy to slap him in the face? If he is not sure, how dare he get something into the exchange meeting?

"From the Ming Dynasty?"

The little fat man said this, everyone was even more surprised, who didn't know, the development of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty was extremely brilliant, and the peak representative was Lu Zigang, which is why Lu Zigang's stunt reappeared, one of the reasons why it could cause such a big shock.

Just now, everyone only cared about the material and carving of the jade carving, and seeing that it was bright and bright, they subconsciously thought that it was a modern work, and no one really went to identify the age of the jade carving.

Jade carving in our country is also a major type of antiques, many people present in this area have a profound attainment, at this time have to show what they have learned, began to identify, and not because there are predecessors to identify, on the coffin conclusion, people are also clouds.

Zhao Tianming had already identified it before, so he naturally knew that what the little fat man said was true, and he also had some admiration for the uncle in his mouth, and it could be seen that the level was very high.

It seems that the little fat man is not bad here, but thanks to his uncle's name, there must be many people who want to catch his uncle's line through the little fat man.

A group of people observed for a long time, and everyone exchanged opinions from time to time, and finally came to a conclusion that was no different from what the little fat man said. Thinking about it, Xie seniors are still very expected, and it is unlikely that they will look away.

It's a pity that this jade carving is not signed, and I don't know whose work it is. Otherwise, it is possible to double the value of this grade of jade carving!

According to the level of this jade carving, it should be a generation of masters, not unknown juniors.

However, it is normal to think about it, many jade carving artists in ancient times did not have a high status, and many of them were not allowed to engrave their names on their works.

Especially when creating at the request of others, employers don't like to leave superfluous things on the jade carving, unless the jade carving master is really famous and can become a kind of bragging capital to increase the value of the jade carving.

Lu Zigang's tragic fate is a model, he was unfortunate and died tragically because of his name. But he is lucky, at least his name can be passed down to future generations and recorded in history.

And many famous jade carvers like Lu Zigang have mostly been lost in the long river of history and are no longer heard of. Even if today's people see their exquisite works and are impressed by their high level and artistic attainments, they no longer know who they are, what kind of life they have, and where to go to admire their works.

This is not only the regret of the ancients, but also the regret of today's people.

"It turns out that Xie Xiaopang has found such a superb statue, no wonder he asked someone to get it to the exchange meeting, it's me and I do this, where is this shame? It's a big long face!"

"So you're such a vulgar person, wait until you can find something of this grade!"

"It's all for you to find such a good thing, I'm afraid it took a lot of effort, right?"

Many people cast envious glances at the little fat man, why can't they touch such an opportunity? Some jade carving enthusiasts even want to take things over, do you know if this little fat man is willing to cut his love?

"Of course, it cost me eight million to get it, and I didn't expect to make millions. ”

Looking at the envious eyes of everyone, the little fat man was extremely refreshed, and his eyes narrowed with a smile. He doesn't care about the appreciation of the millions, the important thing is that the thing is real, it is an affirmation of his vision, and he has a big face on his face!

When the others heard this, they immediately smacked their tongues secretly, this Xie Xiaopang's level, they know a little, and they dare to spend eight million to take down this big Buddha?

That is, he was lucky, and what he got was a genuine product.
