Episode 193 Playing with Stone Creation
Jiulong congratulated Mr. Zhou again, and Jiulong asked him at the same time if there was anyone who was very good at playing wax stone in western Fujian.
Mr. Zhou replied affirmatively: "There is one, as far as I know, she not only likes wax stone, but also likes to buy it back with a lot of money, I heard that even Huanglongyu has it." ”
This aroused a lot of interest in Jiulong, so he asked Mr. Zhou how he knew her.
Mr. Zhou seemed to be very embarrassed, saying that he was just an ordinary person and could not get in touch with a high-end person like the other party.
Listen to what he means, the other party is not an ordinary person, so let's find another way, and don't embarrass Mr. Zhou.
Kowloon's trip to Hangzhou, also bought a few large ornamental wax, he thinks that now to buy, the price is reasonable, more importantly, when others are playing Kowloonbi, he started first, that is, to seize the opportunity, the future is a blessing or a curse, everything is fate.
In the next few days, in addition to taking care of accidents in the store, as long as he was free, he ran to Hufeng Village, and every time he had a harvest, he collected several large ornamental waxes.
Of course, he also took the matter of Mr. Zhou's female stone friend playing with wax stone to heart, and he thought that in Longyan, Master Deng should be more familiar with it, so he made a phone call.
The other party knew that Jiulong was coming, so he told Jiulong that Longyan did have a female stone friend who was crazy about playing wax stone, and he could help him introduce him.
Kowloon is overjoyed, asked for the other party's phone, only to know that the identity of the other party is indeed not ordinary, she is the director of a government agency, usually likes to play with stones, most of the spare time to go to the north and south, and is also an old player.
Kowloon made an appointment and immediately set off and ran to Longyan.
The owner of this family is very good at life, her family lives in the high-end villa area at the foot of Tianma Mountain, and finally arrives at her doorstep.
The owner is about 50 years old, surnamed Zhang, named Mingzhu, oval face, wearing a pair of wide-rimmed glasses, still charming, combing short hair with ears, and a smile on his face.
The villa she lives in has a total of three floors, she said, in Longyan, few people play with wax stone, Kowloon likes it, and it is also a fellow person, so help her see how good her wax stone is.
Jiulong knew that she was saying kind words, and if it wasn't for Master Deng's introduction, she wouldn't know where her door was.
Therefore, Kowloon also responded modestly that he was here to learn and asked Mr. Zhang for more advice.
Mr. Zhang was very satisfied with Kowloon's attitude, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
She told Kowloon that there were stones everywhere in her house, except for the bedroom.
Start with the basement to visit, which is placed with a lot of Kowloon Bi head stones and birds, all of which are lifelike, which shows that the owner has good taste.
Up to the first floor, is the Jiulongbi picture stone display area, one of the "flowers" picture stone is deeply loved by Mr. Zhang, for which she also specially attached an appreciation:
The theme of this stone picture is prominent, the flower branches, lace, and flower buds should be complete, and the simplicity of the black background sets off the bright and dazzling yellow and white flower buds.
The golden branch jade bud, like the concave and convex feeling of iron painting, is to make people marvel at the magic of nature, from the texture point of view, the white lace has been jade crystal clear, can be called a masterpiece.
Teacher Zhang told the story of playing with stones, she said: "Associated with stones, is at the beginning of this century because of the work relationship sent to the county seat, on the way sometimes the car is tired and stop the roadside to rest, accidentally found that the strange shape of the stone on the roadside river beach is very cute, so curious to pick up and play, at that time did not understand what 'quality, shape, color, pattern, rhyme' of the concept of appreciating stones."
"A few years ago, the city held a stone exhibition, and several directors of the Stone Association helped me select a few products to participate in the exhibition, but I didn't expect to win awards, and this product "Flower Branches" is one of them.
"Since then, I have stepped into the stone world, and out of control, reading books and visiting friends, visiting the stone market, watching the stone exhibition, very happy; every holiday, not wandering in the rivers and lakes to find stones, or rushing to the production area, stone market to find stones, footprints all over the north and south of the river.
"There are nearly 100 kinds of stones, especially yellow wax stone and Fujian Jiulongbi, and more than 1,000 stones are collected, especially the series of collections such as 100 birds, 100 monkeys, 100 pots, 100 scenes, 100 flowers and 100 faces.
Looking for the stone is expensive, fate is related to love, may be a novice on the road, God is particularly favored, intentionally let me enter the stone world, this product "Hua Zhiqiao" was inadvertently found in the Xinquan River section on the way home from the county post at that time, after which many stone friends heard about it, asked me to be a guide, although many times the old place again but in vain;
"A few of them also paid a high price to implore me to transfer, but because it was born in 'October pregnancy', selling it was like selling a son and selling a daughter, so I had to laugh and say: I haven't loved enough, or I will raise it myself, you really like it, so you have to be wronged to be a godfather and godmother."
"I have now been matched with three sets of 'clothes' for my famous stone girl, from the earliest MDF simple seat, to the mahogany seat, and then to the current wenge carved seat.
"For me, it's easy to work hard in this life, but it's hard to find stones in this life!"
Sure enough, it is a person who loves stones, so obsessed with stones, Jiulong learned that she is now also the vice president of the Fujian West Strange Stone Association, and wants to make a strange stone postage postcard collector's book, and thought of a name called "Fujian West Strange Stone Collection", to promote the strange stone culture of western Fujian.
This elegant collection, she ingenuity will be strange stones, calligraphy, painting and regional characteristics of the resources into one, the strange stone and calligraphy and painting art combined, the traditional culture and regional resources combined, so that all parties complement each other, not only spread the culture, promote the charm of the tulou, expand tourism, postal popularity, the local economy, cultural development will also play a role in promoting, is a great initiative.
When Kowloon heard this, his admiration for him was born, and he wished Mr. Zhang all his wishes come true.
Then I walked into the second floor, and the entire living room was made of wax stone, some of which were still carved pieces.
These wax stones, layer by layer, have a clear texture, like a thousand layers of wax.
Kowloon asked where these wax stones came from and where they were carved.
Teacher Zhang answered truthfully, part of it was picked up in Tingjiang, most of it was frozen wax collected along the Tingjiang River, as for the carving, it was basically carved by a wood carver called Putian Xianyou, she asked how Jiulong carved?
Jiulong carefully tasted the carvings, and felt that the Huanglong jade carvings he saw in Longling were simply different from the mud, the workmanship was rough, and they were all methods of digging grooves to go to the pits, and there was no art to appreciate, especially the texture itself was partial and miscellaneous, and finally made Jiulong understand why most of the Tingjiang wax stones could not be carved.
Kowloon is also very strange, wax stone should have a special carving master, how can you ask a wood carver to carve, isn't this the opposite of the opposite?
There can only be one explanation for this, the treasure owner has no experience in inviting carvers, thinking that as long as it is a carver, it is the same for anyone.
Could it be that you can tell Teacher Zhang directly? Listen to her tone, it's good if you don't teach yourself a good lesson.
Teacher Zhang saw that Jiulong wanted to speak and stopped, and laughed: "Actually, if you don't say it, I understand, it should be a bad carving, there are many stone friends who say so, these are all carved by me in the early days, as a way to spend money to buy lessons, your future road will be much easier."
Ms. Zhang's approachability and truth-telling surprised Kowloon, and I sincerely admired her generosity.
Finally, Mr. Zhang went to the private room on the third floor to bring the Huanglong jade seed carvings at the bottom of her box to Jiulong to see, these carvings are really colorful, finely workmanlike, oily and delicate, and the leather is old, which is a good carving.
It turns out that she still has a collection of good things, after all, she has experience there, how can she be an ordinary person.
