Chapter 856: National Stone
Wei Mingcheng's words made the atmosphere in the car a little awkward for a while, Fang Yi saw the unnaturalness on Hua Ziyi's face, and hurriedly said: "Brother Hua, what kind of regulations is the selection of our national stones?
Although Fang Yi can now be called a master-level in the skill of jade carving, but for jade, he knows the most about Hetian jade and jadeite, as for some other types of jade, due to too little contact, Fang Yi has only heard of most of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If Fang Yi is allowed to select, he will definitely list Hetian jade as a national stone, after all, Hetian jade has a long history in China, and many treasures in history are from Hetian jade, which is also the most well-known in the world.
"The people come to judge? That's something that can only happen abroad. ā
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Hua Ziyi couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "In fact, the candidate jade has already been evaluated, this time it is to select the national stone from those candidate jade, and the person who evaluates it is naturally an expert in jade." ā
For this national stone selection, the Gem and Jade Association invited all the jade experts from various provinces and cities to the capital, and asked them to quote scriptures to explain the advantages and disadvantages of each jade, and finally these experts voted to select the final national stone attribution.
"Jade experts from all over the country, will my teacher come?"
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, Yu Xuan was one of the best names in the country in the antique miscellaneous and jade industry, he had called Yu Xuan before returning to China, but he had never heard the teacher talk about it.
"Elder Yu came here a few days ago, don't you know?" Hua Ziyi looked at Fang Yi a little strangely, and said: "Elder Yu is the chairman of the National Stone Assessment Committee this time, how could he not come? I thought you had been in touch all along." ā
"I called my teacher the other day, but I didn't know I was coming to Beijing at that time. ā
Hearing Hua Ziyi's words, Fang Yi was embarrassed for a while, he knew that the teacher was in the capital, so there was no need to find Hua Ziyi for the selection of seal stones, who had good things in his hands, I believe that the teacher would know better than Hua Ziyi.
"The scale of this selection is not small, not only the people from the jade industry have arrived, but also many people from other industries have participated. Hua Ziyi said: "My teacher has also been over there for the past few days, Fang Yi, the teacher Li Jingyang you saw last time is also there, I guess you won't be able to see many acquaintances when you go." ā
But where the front of the addition of a national word, this thing must not be small, just like the previous selection of national flowers and national treasures, have caused a great sensation in the society, the same is true of the selection of national stones, experts from all aspects of almost all gathered together.
Although Fang Yi has been in the industry for a short time, there are two teachers, Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan, and his connections in the circle are not ordinary.
"I had to call the teacher first. ā
Fang Yi took out his mobile phone and dialed it according to the number in his memory, although he didn't use his mobile phone often, his memory could be said to be unforgettable, as long as he saw the number, Fang Yi could keep it firmly in his heart.
After the phone was connected and told the teacher that he was in Beijing, Fang Yi was complained by Yu Xuan on the phone, before Fang Yi, Yu Xuan had also accepted a lot of students, but only this closed disciple had the highest talent, but he also had the most troubles.
In Yu Xuan's words, what happened in Savage Mountain had already saved him several years, and Fang Yi's disappearance in Cambodia last year made Yu Xuan and Sun Lianda worry a lot, if you want to say that Fang Yi is Yu Xuan's most tossed student, it is not wrong.
After coming to the venue of the national stone selection, Hua Ziyi once again saw the power of the pass in the car, Wei Mingcheng just flipped over a sheet and put it in the glass, and drove the car directly into the National Cultural Palace, and the staff inside also gave them a special parking space.
"Stinky boy, if you dare to toss like this in the future, I will expel you from the teacher!"
When Fang Yi walked into the venue, Yu Xuan, who received the call, was already waiting here, seeing Fang Yi, who had disappeared for almost a year, Yu Xuan's expression was slightly excited, but after reprimanding Fang Yi with a stiff face, he said: "If you don't go home first, why did you come to the capital?" My brother Sun shed a lot of tears for your business, why don't you go back to see it first?"
In fact, this time, Sun Lianda was also invited by the National Stone Selection Committee, but Sun Lianda refused in order to wait for Fang Yi in Jinling, and he didn't think that Fang Yi would come by himself without saying hello, which made Yu Xuan a little angry.
"Teacher, I came this time for something else, Brother Wei has something to do with me. Fang Yi said with some guilt: "I originally thought that I would be able to go back soon after I came, who knows that there are some other things, so let's do it, I will go back to Jinling to see the teacher in three days." ā
"Don't go back, my brother Sun will come here in this afternoon's car. ā
Yu Xuan glared at Fang Yi angrily, and said, "Your Teacher Sun has students all over the world in his life, but you are the only disciple who can really pass on his skills, don't break his heart." ā
"Teacher, I know. ā
Fang Yi nodded very seriously, there are not many people in this world who can make Fang Yi close from the heart, except for Master and Bai Chuxia, the two childhood playmates Sanpao and the fat man can also be counted, as for going down the mountain, that is, Sun Lianda and Man Jun, the two people who have really helped him, can make Fang Yi accept it from the bottom of his heart.
"It's good to know, okay, there are a lot of elders in it, most of them have been seen by you, I'll take you in to meet them, by the way, Xiaohua, Lao Qin is also inside." In front of Bai Chuxia and Wei Mingcheng Hua Ziyi, Yu Xuan also stopped at the point and did not train Fang Yi again.
"Teacher, I have something else to do this time. ā
Seeing Yu Xuan turn around to leave, Fang Yi hurriedly grabbed him, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, if he had to greet those elders again, it was estimated that by the time he wanted to choose jade, the people in this venue would have to be clean.
"Hey, I said you kid, you didn't come to see me. Yu Xuan was amused by Fang Yi, just now he praised Fang Yi for his filial piety in front of some old friends, and he hurried over to visit him after knowing that he was here.
"Of course, I'm here to see you, teacher, and I'm going to do something by the way. Fang Yi laughed, he knew that Teacher Yu Xuan was easy-going, and he was joking with himself when he said that just now.
"Say, what's the matter?" Yu Xuan glared at Fang Yi, he was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and when he heard that the student had something, he immediately became concerned.
"I want to get a stone with a seal on it. Fang Yi glanced at Bai Chuxia and said, "The quality is better, teacher, you are familiar, help me find a piece." ā
"Looking for a seal stone?"
Yu Xuan followed Fang Yi's eyes and looked at Bai Chuxia, and immediately understood, pointed at Fang Yi with his finger, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you didn't deliberately look for the seal stone when you carved the seal for the teacher, and gave Bai Lao a birthday celebration, you kid is quite attentive?"
"Teacher, do you know about his grandfather's birthday in early summer?"
Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because Bai Chuxia had said before that her grandfather never invited people from the society to celebrate his birthday, but just gathered his family together for a meal, and everything was done from Jane.
"When I met Bai Lao, your kid was not born yet. Yu Xuan said: "Old man Bai likes to paint, and his skills in gold and stone engraving are also good, and I will send a seal to him every year on his birthday, do you know if you know?"
"Fang Yi, the teacher and grandpa are old friends, and they have a good relationship. ā
Bai Chuxia said on the side, the last time Yu Xuan accompanied her to participate in the underground auction in Jinling, it was the old man's greeting, otherwise with Yu Xuan's status in the industry, even if it was President Su, he might not be able to invite him.
"Then it's not an outsider, teacher, you can help me pick a seal stone. Fang Yi said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen the old man, I want to leave a good impression on the old man, teacher, I will entrust you with a happy life in the future." ā
"Give me less top hats. Yu Xuan took a sip of Fang Yi, and after thinking about it, he said, "Fang Yi, which kind of jade do you prefer? ā
For Fang Yi's craftsmanship, Yu Xuan naturally does not need to question it, the material of the seal stone should be more elegant, even if the stone that can be used as a seal stone is in addition to the traditional four seal stones of Fujian Shoushan stone, Zhejiang Qingtian stone, Zhejiang Changhua stone and Inner Mongolia Bahrain stone, there are many jade stones that can be used as seals.
"Teacher, how is the bloodstone?"
Fang Yi opened his mouth and asked, Yu Xuan had explained the knowledge of seal stones to Fang Yi before, and Yu Xuan carried a bloodstone private seal with him, so Fang Yi was very impressed by the red blood-like material.
"Bloodstone is good, but the name of the bloodstone has a blood word in it, isn't it too appropriate to give it to someone who has passed the birthday?" Yu Xuan pondered for a moment and said.
"That's right. Fang Yi nodded when he heard this, and said, "Teacher, then what do you recommend?"
"Shoushan stone. ā
Yu Xuan glanced left and right, and said: "Let me tell you the news, Shoushan Stone has been assessed as a national stone, but this news has not yet been announced, if you want to start, it is still too late, and when it is announced tomorrow, it will not be the price it is today." ā
Yu Xuan was originally a person in the selection committee, and he was naturally very clear about these inside information, and he was not the kind of stereotypical person, so when he started Shoushan Stone, he naturally had to tell his own people.
"Teacher, where can I buy it? These are not for sale in the venue, right?"
Fang Yi stretched out his head and glanced into the venue, there were a lot of jade inside, but basically all of them were covered by a glass cover, and it looked like it should only be for tourists to visit and not sell.
"Of course, these are not for sale, these are all finished products. Yu Xuan shook his head and said, "Let's go, the teacher will be a broker for you today." ā
"Teacher, do you have to charge me? I'm very poor. Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Fang Yi deliberately screamed, because since Yu Xuan said the word broker, it meant that he was not introduced in vain.
"The cost is not high, just use the stone you charged, and carve a seal for the teacher and me. Yu Xuan said with a smile: "Your kid's works have been rising for more than a year, and the teacher really can't afford it." ā
"Fang Yi, why don't you also carve a seal for me, and I'll make the materials myself. Hua Ziyi on the side was also a little hot-eyed, so that Yu Xuan, who was a master of gold and stone, could be so respected, and the seal carved by Fang Yi must be more precious than his other jade carving works.
"Yes, everyone who comes here today has a share. Fang Yi glanced at Wei Mingcheng and Bai Chuxia, and said, "You don't need to come up with the materials, let's just collect a few more stones." ā
Fang Yi is now really wealthy, although he just bought a house and spent three or four million US dollars, but Fang Yi's bank card still has five or six million left untouched, and the fat man came over this time for fear that Fang Yi would have no money, so he specially brought Fang Yi 500,000 in cash, which was in the trunk of Wei Mingcheng's car at this time.
"Let's go, I'll show you what are the most exquisite jade in our country. "This selection was originally free for the public, and when Fang Yi and others entered the venue, Yu Xuan introduced them to everyone one by one.
Since it is a selection, there must be a basic standard, the basic principle of the national stone assessment first requires the texture, the jade land must be delicate, warm, and rich in resource reserves, too niche jade, I am afraid the public does not know, it is not a national stone.
The second point is that the development and utilization of this kind of jade should have a long history and rich cultural heritage, and the third is that the processing performance of the national stone is required to be good, and the economic benefits are significant.
In fact, the jade that meets these points is not only a kind of Shoushan stone in China, such as the four major seal stones, Hetian jade, Xiuyan jade and Dushan jade, etc., all meet the above standards, but in the secret ballot, Shoushan stone with its excellent quality and good meaning, finally won the first place.
The jade stones placed in the venue are the collections of collectors from all over the world and the collections of some museums, which can be said to bring together these famous stones in China, and most of these stones are uncarved, showing the most primitive style in front of people.
"Nature is the true master of carving. ā
Looking at the objects one by one, even Fang Yi couldn't help but praise them, these jade stones were carefully selected, each of them could be described as natural handicrafts, and even a few Fang Yi didn't know how to go under the knife when he looked at it.
