Chapter 186: Curve to Save the Country
"As for this ......"
Lao Qiao put on gloves, took out another work, and put it on the table respectfully, Su Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Porcelain Saint He Chaozong!"
I saw a monk, standing on top of the ocean, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes deep, staring into the distance, and his ambition and determination to cross to the east to spread the Dharma were appropriately expressed.
Bodhidharma crossing the sea!
The sunlight is dispersed, the glaze is thin and pure, smooth and bright, milky white like clotted cream. The glaze is faintly milky white or slightly translucent pink, so it has the beauty of lard white.
He Chaozong, a native of Jiajing Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, was influenced by family tradition since childhood, loved porcelain and plastic crafts, and worshiped local artists as teachers.
In the early years, he made various immortal Buddha statues for the palace temple, such as Guanyin of Dehua Bixiangyan, the ambassador of Xiawei Palace, the benevolent talent of Chengtian Temple, and the little ghost of Dongyue Temple, with realistic images.
Fully absorb the various techniques of clay sculpture, wood carving and stone carving, win the strengths of each family, and form a unique style of He School art.
Give full play to the advantages of expressiveness, subtly express the inner world of the characters, and be full of charm. In particular, the lines are clear, concise, chic, changeable, soft and smooth, natural and round.
In particular, the statue of Kannon is regarded as a one-of-a-kind treasure. With the delicate texture of Dehua porcelain and the unique ivory white to show its quiet and soft charm, simple and elegant, smooth clothing lines, expressive expressions, and realistic images, it is regarded as a sacred treasure in the island countries and Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia.
The texture of Bodhidharma in front of you is like flowing clouds and water, vivid, awe-inspiring, and the mountains look up.
The proportions of the characters are very accurate, the faces are plump and round, the expressions are vivid, the demeanor is kind and kind, the knife skills are round and smooth, and the folds of the clothes are elegant.
The statue is only forty centimeters, but it can stand there, not moving like a mountain, calm and atmospheric, like a mainstay, standing up to the sky!
Su Yuan's hands trembled slightly, and all kinds of information flashed in his mind, as if a stream of heat poured in, as a sword master, he could best understand the essence of it, like a treasure.
blurted out: "There is no doubt about the real thing!"
Lao Qiao gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Good eyesight!"
Looking at Su Yuan again, you must know that the name of He Chaozong is too big, and countless people have imitated it in all dynasties, but no one has ever been able to get the true essence.
For example, the statue of Bodhidharma, the hair is full of hair, the sea lines are fine, and the master's subtle knife skills are reflected everywhere, which is breathtaking.
Not only the lines are chic and smooth, the movement and stillness are combined, the form and spirit are both, coupled with the selection of raw materials, the porcelain clay used in the year is the best old mud, the texture is high, so that the porcelain Buddha appears moist and thick, the fetal bone is uniform and hard, and the beauty is like fat jade.
Su Yuan's mind kept flashing He Chaozong's unique eight-character technique, pinching, shaping, carving, carving, carving, pasting, connecting, pushing, and repairing, creating a unique genre style.
He Chaozong attaches great importance to the artistry of his works, which are not mature works, and are never easily fired, so there are few hand-me-down works. It is estimated that the number of works by Hosamune himself that can be confirmed in existence may be less than 100.
For Buddhists, it is a supreme treasure, and every appearance will set off stormy waves, casually exceeding tens of millions of heavy weapons.
Lu Chenglong hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply to Damour, and said in surprise: "It's actually He Chaozong......
Old Joe laughed, stared at Su Yuan, and said proudly: "Is this the case?
Su Yuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, whether it is the Turning Heart Bottle or He Chaozong, they can be called the pinnacle and admirable." ”
"Happy!" Lao Qiao was very happy to get Su Yuan's approval, and sighed: "He Chaozong never dared to think that the biggest dream in this life is to be able to imitate a heart-turning bottle with his own hands, this life is enough, and there will be no regrets in death!"
Su Yuan also showed a mysterious smile, this trip was really worthwhile, and he was able to get He Chaozong's lifelong experience, which made his sword skills go further.
There are also various old experiences, Lao Qiao is worthy of being a folk master, which opened Su Yuan's eyes, and it was definitely worth the trip.
A plan appeared in his heart, said goodbye to Lu Chenglong, returned directly to Longquan, came to the Fighting Sword Pavilion, and met Jin Sanye.
"Salvage company?" Jin Sanye was very surprised after hearing this, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
Su Yuan waved his hand and said softly: "I want to set up a sea salvage company, specializing in salvaging ancient shipwrecks on the nearby high seas. ”
"No problem!" Jin Sanye smiled after hearing this, and said confidently: "Don't worry, brother, I've been playing for decades, and I'm idle when I'm idle, leave it to me!"
filled Su Yuan with tea, and planned: "In this way, let's cooperate with brothers, invest in five or five years, and play together?"
Su Yuan laughed, knowing that it was a loss-making business, and he had to put down his franchise, which was worthy of being a righteous person.
put down the teacup and said in a low voice: "Brother, you don't understand what I mean, the so-called salvage is just a disguise, and the drunkard's intention is not in the wine ......"
"This ......" Jin Sanye was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Yuan's smiling expression, and hesitated: "Isn't it to salvage the treasure of the sunken ship?"
Su Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "It's best to have treasures, but even if there are none, can't we make a few ourselves?"
Jin Sanye was shocked, a thought flashed in his mind, he quickly took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "......The risk is too great, right?
Su Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently: "The domestic pool is too small, and I can't have fun, and I have been in contact with little devils recently, so I ......"
Jin Sanye suddenly realized, slapped the table, and said excitedly: "I see...... Good...... Great!"
Standing up suddenly, he lowered his voice and said excitedly: "I have long heard that my brother is thriving in the island country, not only swords, but also celadon craftsmanship. ”
"But this matter must be cautious, if you are not completely sure, you must not act rashly!"
Su Yuan nodded, Jin Sanye is an old Jianghu, and a smart person can understand it at all. After pondering for a moment, he said: "In fact, this kind of thing has existed since the Republic of China, and many craftsmen imitate it not for money, but to protect national treasures." ”
The reason is that after the little devils invaded China, they unscrupulously collected the art treasures that had been handed down for thousands of years, and naturally met with resistance from the entire collecting and art circles at that time.
At that time, there was a potter surnamed Gao from the imperial kiln factory of the Qing Dynasty court office, and his ancestors were craftsmen of the royal kiln factory for several generations, with exquisite craftsmanship and a lot of collections at home. In ancient history, although craftsmen and craftsmen had exquisite skills in their hands, their social status was not high, only a little better than that of the lower ninth class. Children are also not allowed to study, but can only be used as craftsmen from father to son.
Therefore, these people guard the kiln factory, and it is inevitable that they will steal from themselves. Steal some porcelain and sell it to subsidize the family. As a craftsman of the Royal Imperial Kiln Factory, the porcelain stolen was naturally a royal tribute.
Later, the news of the Gao family's collection of rare porcelain reached the ears of the little devil, and soon the army came to the door, threatening the lives of their families and forcibly demanding these porcelain.
The master craftsmen were naturally unwilling to hand over the heirlooms left by these ancestors at the risk of their lives to the little devils in vain, and after thinking about it, they thought of a way to cheat!
Relying on the kiln and porcelain-making technology handed down from the ancestors, the imitations fired are almost the same as the real ones. Not only did he save the real treasure passed down from his ancestors, but he also saved his family's lives and saved him from a catastrophe.
Later, word of mouth spread, and the number of people who received this favor became more and more, and the method that was only circulated in the circle of porcelain craftsmen at the beginning slowly spread to the entire calligraphy and painting world and collecting world at that time.
Even the famous Chinese painting masters Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Lin Fengmian, etc., all followed this path and preserved a large number of artistic treasures of the Chinese nation.
This is a patriotic imitation!
