Seeing that Yang Fan was holding a shell carving to study, Jia Lao did not bother. When Yang Fan came back to his senses, he hurriedly greeted and immediately put down the shell carving. It's a bit embarrassing to pick it up and look at it without people's consent.

"After looking at it for so long, how is this shell carving? Jia Lao said.

This move has the meaning of testing Yang Fan, to see how much he can say. In the antique industry, there are too many things to learn, too complicated, I don't know how much this guy has learned.

Yang Fan was slightly stunned, and then replied: "It's a modern handicraft, but it also belongs to a fine product! The craftsman's craftsmanship is very superb, and he carved a shell into a painting without dyeing at all, which is amazing." ”

The palm-sized shell was carved out of a Chinese painting by a carver on the inside. Under the illumination of the light, it is even more colorful and beautiful.

This may be more appropriate to say that it is a shell carving painting, which is a kind of crystallization of wisdom. Yang Fan vaguely remembered that this kind of thing was more famous in Beihai!

North sea shell carving is a craft art made of shells and conch as raw materials, carved and polished, and piled up. The composition of the North Sea Shell carving painting draws on the style of Chinese painting and the strong oriental art conception. The themes are divided into three categories: figures, flowers and birds, and landscapes.

Although this shell carving painting is not an antique, it has a long history and is a treasure in the treasure house of Chinese culture, carrying ancient culture and reflecting modern civilization.

"Do you know where this craft is most famous?" asked Jia Lao with a smile. There are not many comments on Yang Fan's answer just now, and it is not bad to be able to get to the point.

"It should be Beihai!" Yang Fan recalled.

"That's right! Last time I went to Beihai, an old friend gave it to me, and it was one of his masterpieces!"

Jia Lao explained that shell carving painting is an elegant work of art created by artists skillfully using the natural color and texture of shells, through careful design, carving, and stacking. The shell carving painting integrates the charm of Chinese painting, the ethereal of embroidery, the texture of jade carving, and the luster of pearls, and has a very high and unique artistic appreciation.

"Because its material is the essence of the sun and the moon solidified and formed with the aura of treasure, the ancient used as a currency shell, and the implication is that there are shells in the painting and treasures in the room. Folklore believes that it can ward off evil spirits and gather treasures, and it is a thing in the town house. I've heard of it, right?"

Yang Fan listened carefully and nodded, all of which had been cursoryly read in the book.

"This is just one of the forms of shell carving, and the other is real carving, which is to use shells as jade-like materials and carefully carve them, which should be exposed to in the future. When Jia Lao said this, he didn't dig deeper.

In addition to being a friend's mind and superb handwork, this shell carving painting is valued by Jia Lao, because this shell is not an ordinary shell, it is a kind of ancient shellfish.

Yang Fan did not mention this. However, he was not disappointed, and since he learned this level, it can be regarded as a strange flower, which is rare.

"This shell is a fossil, right?" added Yang Fan.

Old Jia twitched his face, but he didn't expect this kid to make up for it in the end. However, in this way, Jia Lao appreciated this young man even more, and was also very satisfied with him, which was very in line with his criteria for selecting apprentices.

"See?"

"I saw it was a fossil, but I didn't know what kind of shellfish it was. Yang Fan was puzzled.

Just now, he tried to decipher the history of this shell fossil, but found that it was very long, and he couldn't find out to the end, and his spirit immediately fell into a spiral, so frightened that he immediately pulled out his mind and did not dare to investigate again.

At that time, he realized that there were still limitations to the Ming Mu Talisman.

"You don't need to dig into this, you know, at least you have to ask the paleontological research experts. We've got enough to learn. People's energy is always limited, and learning must be prioritized. Jia Lao said to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan nodded yes, indicating that he understood, and looked like he was being taught.

"Look at the painting on the left, look at it carefully, and see how much you can observe. Jia Lao pointed to an ancient painting on the left wall.

This time, Yang Fan did not immediately use the function of the Mingmu Fu to investigate, but used the knowledge he had learned to analyze.

It was a landscape painting with a poem in the upper right corner. The style of painting is majestic and magnificent, the modeling is rigorous and accurate, and the brushwork is exquisite and profound. The characters in the upper right corner are cursive, and the brushwork of lifting and turning is used interactively, and the distance between the lines is very tight, forming a kind of unbridled visual effect. What's even more rare is that the regular script is written quite rigorously, with the quaint atmosphere of the Jin and Tang dynasties.

If the painting is not stamped, signed, etc., the average person will not know whose work it is.

Yang Fan watched it carefully again, recalling while watching. There was already some suspicion in my heart. Painting and writing are not written by the same person, he can be sure that he can see it by his eyesight.

In addition, according to my own understanding, the style of landscape painting is very similar to Tang Yin's style, and the words are similar to Zhu Zhishan's cursive script. According to the friendship between these two people, it is not impossible to collaborate on a work.

Finally, he used the Eyesight Charm to investigate and understand how it was done.

As he expected, the landscape painting was made by Tang Bohu, and the poems were also thought up by that guy. But the writing was Zhu Zhishan's wave, and neither of them left a payment.

This work was originally their boring work, on a whim. Later, it fell into the hands of a businessman, but because it was not marked which celebrity made it, it has not been taken seriously, and after several hands, it was finally picked up by Jia Lao at a low price.

More than ten minutes passed, and saw that Yang Fan was still pondering and was very serious, which Jia Lao appreciated very much.

After a while, Yang Fan raised his head and replied: "This painting seems to be from the hands of two people, to be precise, the painting is a person, and the inscription is a person." The style of painting is quite similar to Tang Bohu's style, and this part of cursive is from Zhu Zhishan. Could it be the two of them working together?"

After Yang Fan finished speaking, Jia Lao was a little stunned. This performance exceeded Jia Lao's expectations, it seems that he underestimated this guy a little before?

Many of the older generations can't see the specifics of his painting.

"Well, good, good!" After speaking, Jia Lao took out a few books, but his heart was not so calm. He can't say what the second son will achieve in the future, he will learn this level by self-study, and someone will help him in the future?

"Look good. ”

Yang Fan nodded urgently, he was also afraid that one day, that strange ability would disappear, wouldn't he go back to before liberation? Learning more things now is definitely beneficial and harmless, even if that ability disappears in the future, he can still develop with his own efforts.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia!"

Jia Lao smiled: "Call me teacher! Ask me if you don't understand anything in the future." ”

Yang Fan thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked up a little blankly, as if he had heard it correctly, and immediately became pleasantly surprised. He immediately made a solemn salute: "Thank you, teacher!"

Now it is 35th on the new book list, and there is work to be done!
