There is another stone friend in his house who loves Kunshi, surnamed Wu, and he couldn't help but say: "You have a problem with this stone, it's not our Kunshan, it's a fake Kunshi." ”

Teacher Wu waved his hand: "This Kunshan stone is indeed not our Kunshan, but it is the same kind of stone as our Kunshan, and the reason for the gloom should be that it is caused by not knowing the correct cleaning method." Then he asked Mr. Lai where this Fang Kunshi came from.

Mr. Lai said: "This is produced in the Meihua Mountain area of Longyan, Fujian, and I brought it to ask Mr. Wu whether our Kunshi is worth playing and whether there is a market." ”

Teacher Wu didn't answer directly, he looked at this Kunshi again, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's it, if you don't mind, I'll go to the production area to see." ”

When Mr. Lai heard this, he was overjoyed, so he helped Mr. Wu book a plane ticket to return to Shanghai and fly directly to Xiamen.

On the long-distance bus from Xiamen to Longyan, Mr. Wu asked Mr. Lai in detail how much Kunshi reserves in Longyan were.

Lai was speechless for a while, he said: "In recent years, in the dolomite and calcium, magnesia salt rock in various places can be found similar to Kunshi stone, the specific reserves, I really can't answer, sometimes a mine found a few square Kunshi, next time to look for it, it will no longer be able to find it, I am a shot to change a place, the mine owner knows that I play this kind of stone, will take the initiative to contact me after finding." ”

Jiulong listened, and couldn't help but be discouraged, even the location of playing Kunshi is to change places with one shot, how can this be played?

Teacher Wu nodded as he listened, not showing displeasure.

After arriving at Mr. Lai's house, Mr. Wu carefully looked at the finished and semi-finished products stacked on the ground, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Mr. Lai, don't mind if I say something unpleasant." ”

Mr. Lai originally came to apprentice, and hurriedly replied: "Teacher Wu is willing to teach me, I can't be happy, please speak." ”

"You don't even have the right way to clean Kunshi, the Kunshi production method is very complicated, before and after the selection, exposure, washing, mud removal, carving, soaking and other processes, can be completed, I will teach you. ”

Mr. Lai is like a treasure, and humbly asks for advice.

Subsequently, Mr. Lai also took Mr. Wu to the homes of several Shi friends who played Kunshi.

Teacher Wu didn't say much, but his face became more and more solemn.

In the evening, Mr. Lai was the east and called the three stone friends who played Kunshi, all of whom happened to be surnamed Yang, Yang Kunshan, Yang Jun and Yang Youyi, to accompany Mr. Wu to dinner.

Jiulong is naturally invited, although he has not yet played Kunshi, but there is this opportunity to meet Shi friends and know the master, why not?

Among them, Yang Kunshan Shiyou also met once in the last Three Provinces Strange Stone Competition, so this reunion was particularly cordial.

During the banquet, Mr. Wu spoke, and his words were serious: "You can't play Kunshi like this, the value of Kunshi is mainly ornamental value and humanistic value, and what is more important is the humanistic value."

"There are two types of ornamental value of kunshi.

"Structural beauty: naturally beautiful, crystal white, exquisitely clear.

"The aesthetics of Kunshi can appreciate its quality and color, as well as its shape.

"It can be appreciated from both a traditional and a modern aesthetic point of view.

"Kunshi also has a unique aesthetic method, that is, the unique structural beauty of Kunshi stone.

"Natural beauty: Beauty is natural beauty that comes from the work of natural creation.

"It has a simple, innocent, natural beauty.

"Natural beauty lies in the beauty of form, in the beauty of shapes, stones, colors, and the beauty of the combination of parts.

"You also have to remember that the stone is noble, and the beauty is in nature.

"As a strange stone, it is from the original stone to the finished product, and its treatment process, there is a recognized law in the stone world, that is, the main beauty of the strange stone must be natural.

"We appreciate the natural beauty of the stone, not the craftsmanship. ”

Mr. Wu also advised: "Don't arbitrarily drill holes in order to achieve the purpose of Kunshi exquisitely clear, destroy the internal structure of Kunshi stone, and create artificial ethereal clarity, which is no different from counterfeiting.

"You also have problems with your current display, you should go to Suzhou to see how the Suzhou master matches the base, which is called a good horse with a good saddle.

"To be honest, you want to get the recognition of our Kunshan stone friends immediately, this requires a process, you have to go out more, please come in, pay special attention, don't use Kunshan local Kunshi to deceive people, which will not only make Kunshan stone friends disgusted, but also have no of your own brand.

Therefore, I suggest that you can name the locally produced Kunshi in the way of "region + stone species" to retain the distinctive local color.

"It's great to be able to discover new stone species here.

"We work together to expand and carry forward the Kunshi culture. ”

Teacher Lai and local Shi friends stood up and toasted Teacher Wu with a glass of wine, they were happy for Teacher Wu's affirmation, and also admired Teacher Wu's mind, feeling that the past few years have finally not been in vain, and hope that Teacher Wu will give more advice.

Mr. Lai took the lead and said: "Mr. Wu, don't worry, we will often go to Kunshan to communicate with local stone friends, and you are also welcome to come to guide often." ”

During the banquet, a stone friend named Yang Youyi couldn't help but say: "In recent years, our collection of Kunshi is hidden, and the relevant theoretical discussion is still a blank, in my opinion, compared with Kunshan's, the biggest difference between our local Kunshi and Kunshan is that the former has a lower metallogenic temperature, larger crystals, and clearer and cleaner stones.

"The color of Kunshan is relatively simple, basically white and gray, and legend has it that there are red and black, but I have not seen it.

"Our Kunshi is full of four colors, all of which are high-quality products, and a very small amount has a halo effect, which may contain opal or small crystal diffraction reasons, I don't understand this problem, please Mr. Wu make it clear. ”

Teacher Wu immediately looked at Yang Youyi differently, "It seems that you Fujian Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as long as you study it well, there is no mystery that cannot be solved." ”

In the middle of the banquet, a middle-aged woman with a small round face broke in: "Lai, I'm sorry to be late, how about it?

When the visitor saw that there were other people at the table, they hurriedly greeted politely.

"This is Ms. Pan Ronghua, who is a neighbor with me, who specializes in playing with Lingbi stones, invited her to come, and she has only arrived now, and she will punish herself with three cups!"

Mr. Lai introduced it to everyone at the table.

"Lao Lai, don't hurt me, I just drink a little, otherwise, I will only punish one cup, as a companion, and build a Lingbi Stone Pavilion, it's really tiring, or Lao Lai is more relaxed." ”

Ms. Pan laughed as she picked up the wine on the table and drank it down.

Jiulong is the first time I heard of it, and I don't know where she is from, Jiulong took the initiative to walk over to introduce himself, and the other party smiled: "It turns out that there is a handsome guy on the table, yes, yes, I am from Lingbi County, and I have come to Longyan to work very early, how about it, after the banquet, do you want to go to my store to see, it is very close." ”
