Chapter Twenty-Six: Ziokama
There are a lot of fellow practitioners who participate in the appreciation meeting, and more than half of them are admired from outside the province. Because of following Hu Wei, that guy's personnel didn't seem to be very good, since no one came over to chat.
Before, Qi Lao and the others looked for Yang Fan, just to introduce some seniors to him, after all, to get acquainted with some seniors in the industry, the road in the future will be easier.
Of course, now Yang Fan is not in the mood to deal with those seniors, and he is bent on that jade plate.
"Don't look at it, Lu Zigang's works are very few. However, I haven't heard of this dragon carving jade plaque, it may not be a masterpiece, and it is not known if people have nothing to do. Hu Wei said.
Although it is not a famous work, Lu Zigang's handwriting is also a treasure in ancient times, let alone today? Moreover, looking at the carving of the jade plaque, the knife work is obviously very mature, and it should be the work of Lu Zigang's master after ascending to the peak, so it is even more precious.
He said this without deliberately lowering his voice, and everyone around him could hear it.
The people who were still avoiding Hu Wei like a plague god all gathered around when they heard this. One by one, their eyes were shining staring at the jade plate in Yang Fan's hand.
"Haha! It turned out to be Hu Shao! When did you arrive?" an old man smiled heartily.
"Hu Shao didn't shout when he came, and the old man did his best to be a landlord!"
"Go! Go! Don't come to make friends, I drank two drinks with Hu Shao in the capital, and we are old friends. ”
Dizzy!
Two cups of tea are old friends? So old friends are too worthless, right?
The corners of Hu Wei's mouth twitched, and he said secretly: You were all transparent to me just now. Anyway, I've been here for so long, and I've never seen you so enthusiastic. Typical "Nothing to do, either treachery or theft!".
Don't think he doesn't know, all the fucking ones are coming for his jade cards.
I'll go!
Yang Fan was dumbfounded, it turns out that so many people know this guy! I can't see it! I still have Hu Shao, no matter how you look at this guy, it doesn't look like he came from a big family!
He really wanted to know that there was such a big family who taught such a foul-mouthed guy.
"Don't be close, declare in advance, it doesn't matter, but there's no way to transfer. Hu Wei said crisply.
What are you kidding?
Lu Zigang is a very comprehensive jade carving skills of a good hand, convex yang pattern, hollow openwork, yin line carving are all wonderful, especially good at the plane to reduce the ground technique, can sometimes show similar to the artistic effect of bas-relief.
He is the most famous jade carving master of the Ming Dynasty, at that time it was pursued by the dignitaries, very noble, at that time Suzhou also "Zigang jade" and the contemporaneous Tang Bohu's lady painting on a par.
Hu Wei was well aware that the handicraft industry in the Ming Dynasty was very strict and had a strict hierarchy, even in the late Ming Dynasty, when the "master system" had been deposed. In this case, Lu Zigang, a craftsman who was engaged in humble jade cutting, could be regarded as a guest of honor by the literati, and his superb and ingenious jade cutting skills can be seen.
What tools Lu Zigang used to carve jade so delicately is still a mystery.
When the others heard this, they were a little disappointed, but they were also expected. Replace them, it's also this way, not to mention that this kid is not short of money, and he hates this kind of person the most.
"Hehe! What do you say? Your baby, how dare we covet it?" a middle-aged man sneered.
Everyone focused their attention on the jade plate, and Yang Fan handed it over with interest. He basically figured out this jade plate, if he guessed correctly, there should be twelve such treasures, which are a set of zodiac holy jade plates.
There are more and more people around, and there are some respected predecessors, Taishan Beidou in the antique world, and even Hu Wei, who is hanging, has a correct attitude.
"It turned out to be you kid, I said why the atmosphere is not quite right, when did you sneak into Dengfeng City? Your teacher was very angry, and you feel good when you go back." "Jia Qingfeng is happy.
He is one of the Taishan in the Chinese antique industry and the soul of the province's antiques.
Then, also look at the ancient jade, the white jade side, a jade dragon seems to be alive, at least it gives people this feeling. It was as if he saw a giant dragon churning in the clouds, and everyone present felt a majestic momentum. This is the master's handwriting, and it is truly like a god.
At the bottom of the jade plate, he found the word "Zigang", combined with other factors, it is certain that this is the pinnacle of Lu Zigang.
Jia Qingfeng has seen more than 10 pieces of Lu Zigang's works, and the jade carving works he made are multi-shaped imitation of Han, taken from the Song Dynasty, which is quite ancient, and forms the artistic characteristics of emptiness, floating and fineness.
Emptiness is the commensurate between the virtual and the real, and the density is beneficial, so that people do not feel cumbersome and have a sense of ethereal; floating, that is, the artificiality is vivid, the lines are smooth, so that people do not feel sluggish and have a sense of elegance; fine, that is, the work is fine, the design is exquisite, so that people do not feel rough and have a sense of ingenuity.
"What do you think, Elder Jia?" the others asked.
Jia Lao nodded slightly: "It is Lu Zigang's work, and the carving technique is very mature, and it is also one of the best among his works I have seen." ”
"However, this work does not seem to be documented, and I have not seen it anyway. He frowned.
The background of an antique is very important and at the same time a major attraction factor. Every piece of antique has a story behind it, which adds a lot of value to it.
Seeing that everyone else was puzzled, Jia Qingfeng smiled again: "Don't worry about it, there are so many shocking works, no one can say clearly, and it is not surprising that there are some things that are not known." ”
"What a pity! This grandmaster died young, and there are not many works left behind. An old man's face was full of regret.
Legend has it that Lu Zigang once engraved his name on the lines of the dragon's head after making a jade carving for the emperor, which angered the emperor and was unfortunately killed.
Lu Zigang died young, had no descendants, and his stunt was annihilated. Although there are countless fakes in later generations, the Zigang jade that has been identified as indeed from his hand is either placed in a museum or hidden in a private home, and there are only dozens of pieces.
It's a blessing to have one privately, and it's the pinnacle of it.
Therefore, everyone is very enthusiastic about this treasure and wants to take it for themselves. Even Jia Lao, who is an antique Taishan, is no exception, thinking about how to get it.
At this moment, Yang Fan interjected: "This is the Holy Dragon Jade Plate." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads sharply and stared at Yang Fan intently.
"Do you know where this treasure comes from?" Hu Wei was the most anxious.
"Young man, if you know, let you know for a long time. Jia Lao also wondered. He saw that Yang Fan was not very old, and he couldn't figure out how many catties and taels this person had.
