Chapter 10: The First Condor

Luo Lao was surprised that these two young men came to the door so quickly and asked him to help look at a treasure.

"100% I don't dare to say it, but seven or eight points can still be identified. Luo Lao said modestly.

Zhou Wentao took out the Tianhuangshi birthday star carving and handed it to Luo Lao. They mainly want to find out which famous artist this is and how much it is worth. Although Yang Fan knows the details, he can't show too much and attract attention.

His eyes fell on the carving, and Luo Lao couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

I saw that his expression was surprised and delighted, shocked that the two young people could find such a treasure, and at the same time, he was also happy to see a rare treasure.

"What you picked up at the stall doesn't make sense! Such an obvious treasure should have been discovered a long time ago. "Luo Lao felt incredible. Are all the old guys on the streets blind? Wandering around the streets all day long, they turn a blind eye?

"Yes! However, at that time, the surface of this carving was coated with a layer of wax, and we all thought it was a wax carving! Zhou Wentao felt very refreshed.

Seeing a senior look of shock, vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Then it's no wonder. Hearing this explanation, Luo Lao was relieved.

"This carver is very similar to Yang Xuan's knife work. Yang Fan said.

Luo Lao also noticed this. He didn't speak, but took out a magnifying glass, carefully discerned, and the whole person became extremely serious.

Shoushan stone carving techniques are rich and colorful, the skills are exquisite, there are round carving, seal button carving, thin carving, hollow carving, bas-relief, high relief, mosaic carving, chain carving, seal carving and micro carving, etc.

The works have a wide range of subjects, including figures, animals, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc., Shoushan stone carving art is widely accepted and integrates the carving skills and artistic essence of Chinese painting and various folk crafts, its social influence is very wide, with the artistic charm of "accompanying the emperor and the generals, the Chinese and literati, and the common people", and is well received by connoisseurs and collectors at home and abroad.

The technique of Shoushan stone carving is reflected through the knife technique of moving the knife. The knife technique of Shoushan stone carving has a unique artistic style, with concise knife technique, Pu Mao's knife technique, strong knife technique, and Xiuling's knife technique. Such as thin carving, flower and bird carving, more use Xiuling's knife technique; such as figure round carving, ancient beast seal button and other carvings are more with Pu Mao's knife technique, it is suitable for collectors, connoisseurs to take in the hand "play", without stabbing the hand, another taste.

"Yang Xuan is famous?" Zhou Wentao asked.

"It can be regarded as the originator of Shoushan stone carving! Yang Fan nodded.

He is very good at the carving of Shoushan stone beast buttons and figures. He has exquisite ideas and simple knife techniques, and is recognized as the originator of Shoushan stone carving. Moreover, he can carve according to the rich color of Shoushan stone, which is the so-called "trick", so that the shape of animals, flowers and birds, people, etc., can achieve both shape, spirit, emotion and interest, and pioneered the carving method of "judging the surface potential".

Not long after, Luo Lao put down the magnifying glass, and then rubbed his eyes that were a little sour and tired, but his face showed a joy that could not be concealed.

"How?" Zhou Wentao asked.

"That's right, it should be the work of the First Condor, you guys are really lucky. "Luo Lao spared no effort in his hand to love the birthday eagle.

"First Divine Condor?" Zhou Wentao was a little dumbfounded, this name seems to be too big, right?

Yang Yuxuan is recognized as the first divine eagle in the Shoushan stone carving world, but it is not in vain. Luo Lao said with a smile.

Yang Yuxuan's Shoushan stone carvings are mainly concentrated in birds, animals, flowers and trees, Buddha statues, and his works are highly artistic, which is the essence of stone carving. The horse he carved is as strong and majestic as the horse painted by the famous Tang Dynasty painter Han Gan; the carved ox is like the cow painted by the famous Tang Dynasty painter Dai Song, with wild muscles and bones; the carved tiger is like a hungry tiger out of the cage, the forest is upward, majestic and perfect, and it is very outstanding. The carved side of the inch-sized lying cockroach suddenly looked at it, but saw that the two rings fell off their feet, winding in the green waves.

In short, after seeing his works, it feels natural and vivid. From ancient times to the present, there are definitely less than a few people who can shoulder to shoulder with him in carving skills, and all of them are a generation of grandmasters.

Luo Lao admired the two flower and wood carvings of this grandmaster, which were amazing. It is two two and a half inches high, one inch and three minutes in diameter, gray-white with brocade Shoushan stone carving.

He engraved the grape button and the melon button respectively. Grapes and melons are pure gray, only take its white slightly infiltrated reddish carved as branches and leaves, the beetle erosion of the leaves each with red and yellow, shallow and deep together, like the old lotus leaves, and the inlay exquisite, although the vine is connected to the leaves, and the dome hole is four, but also because the stone body is like ice cracking, the ribbon flower brocade, the flat vine also seems to have branches and leaves transverse waves, and they take the tendency of grabbing. It is a masterpiece that makes people marvel, a rare boutique in the world.

The two characters on the back are in Yin, read as Yuxuan. Luo Lao pointed out.

Yang Yuxuan's Shoushan stone works are engraved with the word "Yuxuan" on the back.

The concave words or patterns engraved or cast on seals or other utensils are Yin scripts.

This Yang Fan understands, it is said that the tiles of the Hakka roof are also divided into yin tiles and yang tiles, and the concave ones are yin tiles, which are used for drainage, and the ones that protrude up to the sky are yang tiles, and the main role is to shade the sun.

"Young man, give this birthday carving to the old man!" Luo Lao was obviously tempted.

When Zhou Wentao heard this, he immediately shook his head: "That's not good, this is a birthday gift for my grandfather, and it can't be transferred casually." ”

As for how much money, there is no need to ask, is he short of money? It's hard to say in the future, but there is no need to worry about it at the moment.

"The birthday gift is easy to do, I have several good choices, do you want to take a look?" Luo Lao also became a little attentive, he really liked this treasure.

Zhou Wentao retrieved the Tianhuang stone carving without a trace, and said with a sloppy smile: "Don't bother Luo Lao." Well, we still have something to do, and next time I'll invite you to drink tea. ”

Originally, I wanted to ask how much it was worth, but the old man had already thought about it, and it was better to go.

Escaping from Luo Lao's shop, Zhou Wentao said to Yang Fan: "I'll be free the day after tomorrow, I'll pick you up and have a meal at my grandfather's." ”

got this treasure, Yang Fan is indispensable, or it is all his credit, and Yang Fan is invited to be a guest in both public and private affairs.

"I'm just an idler. However, it's not appropriate for me to go to your birthday banquet, right?" Yang Fan didn't like that kind of occasion very much.

Perhaps, it is a rare opportunity for some people who want to squeeze into high society, but Yang Fan is not keen and cold.

"It's okay, just have a meal, there will be a lot of people at that time, and it won't be embarrassing. Zhou Wentao explained.

Yang Fan thought for a moment: "It's okay." ”

Don't you have any recommendation votes? Although the number of words in this book is small, I still want to read it, right?
