The 128th jade carving

After Old Man Zhao and Zhao Yan saw that Zhang Yang agreed, they secretly relaxed!

Zhang Yang saw a piece of jade of average quality on the old man's workbench, Zhang Yang's heart moved, he thought of the jade bottle containing pills in front of the old man Chen Yingnan, isn't it a great opportunity to ask the old man for advice!

So Zhang Yang picked up the piece of jade and asked the old man: "Grandpa, I want to use this piece of jade to carve some small jade bottles containing pills, can you see it?"

The old man's eyes flashed, and he said: "Xiao Yang, I was just about to find a chance to talk to you! In the business of jadeite, carving occupies a very heavy weight in it, and the value of the same piece of jadeite is very different if it is carved by different people!

After thousands of years of development, the art of Chinese jade carving has created countless astonishing artistic masterpieces. As the old saying goes, "if the jade is not cut, it will not be made". It can be seen that a piece of beautiful jade can only become an exquisite art treasure after the ingenious conception and ghostly carving of the jade people.

After thousands of years of development, China's jade craftsmanship is famous for its exquisite skills and beautiful shapes, and has become a unique treasure in the world, enjoying the reputation of "Oriental Art". With their own diligence and wisdom, the jade quality, jade color and technology, national characteristics of the jade into one, the jade boutique is undoubtedly the inheritance of Chinese culture, but also the precious wealth of the world's art forest.

Broadly speaking, the process of jade carving can be divided into two large parts: carving and polishing.

The so-called carving, after a piece of jade material is in the hand, the first thing to go through is "phase jade", that is, to observe and analyze the color, material quality, cracks, flaws and other conditions of the jade, and decide what to make and how to make it? It is somewhat similar to the preliminary design. After deciding how to make it, large pieces of jade may be asked to be cut, which is called "cutting".

There is generally a "shaping" process after cutting, that is, the jade material is shaped into the desired shape. If there are no clear flaws and cracks in the seed material, there is generally no need for shaping.

There are five categories of jade: flowers and birds, human pieces, utensils, animals, and natural bottles. The popular handles and pendants belong to small pieces and are classified outside the five categories. The classification of carving techniques includes: round carving (three-dimensional carving), relief carving, leather carving, and inlay. The two taxonomys are mutually inclusive: the five categories use a variety of techniques, and the techniques can be used separately or together in the five categories.

Once the design is conceived, it really goes to the engraving part. Generally, carving can be roughly divided into three stages: blanking, grinding, and handing.

Blanking: It is to use a thin sheet of stone to cut out the general shape of the jade piece. A good blank has a nice geometric composition of the block surface effect.

Grinding: It is to use tools of various shapes and sizes to carve out the shape of the object completely after the billet stage.

The old man said the carving procedure in detail, and when it came to the critical time, he also took the equipment to operate it on the spot, and Zhang Yang also pricked up his ears and listened with relish!

After speaking, the old man said: "Learning to carve well is not achieved overnight, it requires patience, confidence, perseverance and perseverance. Only by persevering, studying diligently, studying hard, constantly summing up experience, correcting mistakes in a timely manner, and preparing for a "protracted war", can we master this technique and truly become a veritable carver. ”

The old man paused for a moment and said: "In addition, I have a set of carving knife methods handed down by our Zhao clan ancestors, originally this set of carving knife methods was passed on to men but not women, but now it is a great sin to cut off this set of carving knife methods in my hands!

After speaking, the old man asked Zhang Yang to move the piece of jadeite to the cutting machine next to him, and cut the piece of jadeite into two inches square jadeite!

After Zhang Yang's operation was completed, the old man picked up his carving knife, first stroked it lightly with his hand, and then carefully observed a piece of jade handed over by Zhang Yang for a while.

Zhang Yang used his spiritual power, which was much stronger than ordinary people, carefully observed the old man's every move, and at the same time silently calculated in his heart how much strength each knife should use is the most appropriate! At this time, Zhang Yang's mind was completely immersed in the artistic conception of the old man's carving, and he settled down there motionless!

With the carving of the old man's knife by knife, the prototype of a jade bottle was completely revealed, and then the old man took out a tool with a pointed long handle, and slowly carved the middle of the jade bottle little by little, and a complete jade bottle was completely formed!

After the old man finished carving, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face became a little paler, at this time, if Shen Mu and the others came, they would definitely not think that the old man's condition had improved!

Zhao Yan saw the old man's condition, took a towel and confidently wiped the sweat on the old man's face with distress.

At this time, Zhang Yang came back to his senses from the meditation, he had already used his strong spiritual power to deeply engrave the old man's every move in his mind, Zhang Yang had already comprehended about eighty percent of the old man's set of knife techniques, and the rest could only rely on himself to hone more! Zhang Yang was very confident at this time that if he carved the jade bottle, he would definitely be able to succeed!

The old man looked at Zhang Yang, pointed to the freshly carved jade bottle on the table and said, "Xiao Yang, this jade bottle still has one last process, which is polishing, Yan'er, you can show Xiao Yang!"

Zhao Yan smiled at this Zhang Yang and said, "Okay grandpa!"

Zhao Yan spoke, took out oil stones, sandpaper and other tools from the old man's toolkit, and then operated the polishing process in the order of oil stone, green wire, iron nail, sandpaper, and brush, and carefully explained to Zhang Yang while operating!

With Zhao Yan's movements, a colorful emerald green and delicate jade bottle was completely revealed, Zhang Yang picked up this jade jade bottle and admired it carefully, and found that this one was obviously much better than Chen Yingnan's jade bottle, and secretly sighed in his heart that this old man really deserved his reputation!
