Chapter 993: The Wonder of the National Seal

Don't look at a small seal, but it contains a lot of things, just like a very ordinary egg fried rice, if you can really do it, then you can be regarded as a chef, but many people with the name of chef can't even make this little egg fried rice, which can't help but make people feel cold.

"Teacher Zhang, what are the words engraved on this, I don't know why, is it wrong?"

A guest's question made Gao Qianqian and Zhang Tianyuan stunned for a moment, in fact, it is no wonder that the seal is a thing, who has very high requirements for the correctness of the word, if you don't do it well, it is a joke.

Historically, accomplished printers have attached great importance to calligraphy, and probably those who know a little bit about the art of seals have already understood that "no false pen" is an important prerequisite to ensure that the seal has appreciative value.

As we all know, calligraphy is the art of writing, and if you can't even read words, what art appreciation can you have.

The reason why the seal has been admired and loved by the intellectuals of all generations is precisely because of his rarity, the challenges and temptations brought by his hardship. It's not challenging, it's not tempting, it's not appreciative.

And for connoisseurs, the recognition of seals becomes a priority. At first glance, the seal character is a little unfamiliar, but in fact, it is easy to learn, but it is difficult to master.

The seal character is developed with the "shape" as the center, although it has later become an "image", but to explore its origin, there is always a tangible shadow to follow, so the seal character has an artistic character from the beginning.

The seal character is a general term for the big seal and the small seal, also known as the seal book. The Great Seal Nail Bone Inscription, Jin Inscription, Zhou Script, and Liuguo Script, which preserve the obvious characteristics of ancient hieroglyphs. The small seal is also called "Qin seal". It is the universal text of the Qin State, a simplified font of the Great Seal. It is characterized by a uniform and neat shape, and the font is easier to write than the Chinese script. In the history of the development of Chinese characters, it is the transition between the Great Seal and the Kai.

And this questioner. Obviously, I don't understand the art of seals, and I don't understand what seal characters are, so I ask that kind of question, which seems a bit abrupt and a little ridiculous.

"This is called a seal character, so let's do it, Lao Yu shopkeeper, please take a piece of paper, any paper. Let's try this seal, although it is a cultural play seal, but the basic function of this mouth is also to be there, otherwise it won't even be a seal, then it will be meaningless. ”

Lao Yu shopkeeper agreed, and then left for a while, and when he came back, he had brought Indonesian and rice paper, which could be bought in Panjiayuan, and opposite their store was a shop with four treasures of the study. Seals are also sold there, but unlike what Zhang Tianyuan wants to sell, most of the seals sold in the Four Treasures Store of the Scholar are relatively ordinary. It is impossible to use bloodstone, Shoushan stone and other materials.

I heard that there was a seal carved with bloodstone here, and the owner of the store also came to see it, and asked the guy to help him look at the store first.

Lao Yu laid the rice paper on the table. Then the ink was put on again.

Zhang Tianyuan picked up the seal and carefully pressed it in the ink. Then I took it out, picked it up and printed it on rice paper.

"Boss Zhang. It seems that your method of stamping is actually not suitable. Lao Yu shopkeeper smiled and said, if he was not familiar with Zhang Tianyuan in the past, he would never say such a thing, because he couldn't let himself lose his job because he offended Zhang Tianyuan, but now he dared to say it, because the relationship was familiar, he also knew that Zhang Tianyuan would not bother with him because of this little thing, so he pointed it out directly.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Tianyuan really doesn't understand this rule, he is well-read and knowledgeable, but it is impossible to know everything, and because of this, he can be shameless in asking questions on weekdays, because he knows that he has shortcomings.

"That's the case, the use of seals in ancient times is very particular, the ancient people seal, that is a cautious thing, you say a calligraphy and painting, once the seal, it is basically completed, so when the seal, but also be careful, not because the seal is bad for the whole painting or the entire calligraphy pattern, and a good seal and inscription, that can make a painting or a calligraphy icing on the cake. ”

"Well, I know that, too. ”

"Because of this, when using the seal, you must not be nervous, to ensure that you are calm, to ensure that there are no distractions, but also to hold the seal with both hands, when the seal is printed, the hand must not shake, once shaken, it will inevitably destroy the pattern, and even a good painting will be ruined, so you must be steady and calm, so that the seal font can be evenly printed in the place of the seal. The old shopkeeper continued to explain.

"I see, hehe, no wonder I watched the emperor's seal in the TV series, and I actually had to wait for the eunuch next to me, and every time I had to kneel on the ground and raise the seal above my head, and then I could put the seal down, I'm afraid it's also a rule, but I don't agree with this. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"That's a bit too much, we still have to absorb the essence and get rid of the dross. The old shopkeeper explained.

"Yes, you are to the point, and I agree with it. Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but nodded.

"You don't have to do it all over again, just know it, let's look at this word first. Seeing that Zhang Tianyuan was going to do it again, the old shopkeeper hurriedly stopped it, in fact, the mark on the rice paper was already very clear, and there was no need to start again.

"HRE Yipin!"

This is the inscription on the seal, in fact, the meaning is very simple and easy to understand, but it just matches the name of the HRE Group, I have to say, Gao Qianqian is also a caring person.

"Dad, I think this little rabbit is so beautiful, buy it for me, take it to the class, and the classmates will definitely be very envious. "Nowadays, there are more rich people, and there are more things to compare, from mobile phones to cars, to jewelry, to watches, to clothes, but if the family background is similar, often choose some of these special things, which can have a better effect.

It was a girl who looked like a middle school student who spoke, and her father should be a rich man, at least with millions of assets, of course, this is not as good as Zhang Tianyuan, and it is actually nothing in the imperial capital, but a seal. He can really afford it.

"Okay, good, dad bought it for you. Mr. Zhang, you want to sell this seal when you make it. I don't know how much? I want to buy it. ”

"Don't rob it, I want to buy this thing too, I haven't seen such a delicate bloodstone seal for a long time, buy it back and play with it." ”

"It's just a seal, what about you, Mr. Zhang, I'll buy it for a thousand yuan. ”

"Damn, I've never seen such a brazen person!"

A group of people have already begun to ask for the price there, after all, Gao Qianqian's carver has absolutely nothing to say. In addition, this is bloodstone, so these guests probably regard this thing as a work of art, so the bid is quite reliable, a thousand yuan is a little less, but it can be regarded as meeting expectations, after all, such a piece of bloodstone, one or two hundred yuan can be bought, and one thousand yuan shows that Gao Qianqian's manual cost is very expensive.

Gao Qianqian is not a celebrity, so she can make an inferior bloodstone instantly have ten times its own value. That's already a great thing.

In the eyes of these guests, this is a delicate work of art, which coincides with Zhang Tianyuan's original intention, and this is what he wants. If this is just a piece of paper carved out of a computer, it is unrealistic to want such a big impact.

The old shopkeeper saw that Zhang Tianyuan was concentrating on studying the seal. As the shopkeeper, he naturally has to come forward to talk about it. Whether this thing is sold or not depends on what Zhang Tianyuan means. But now, he has to ease the atmosphere first, otherwise these people are gossiping, you say a word to me, Zhang Tianyuan probably won't be able to appreciate the seal with peace of mind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this seal is an assessment item, whether it is sold or not, it will wait for our boss later, now you may wish to consider what kind of seal you like, you can draw it yourself, and our store can be customized in the future." You can buy what you want, your favorite seal, and the material is definitely better than this one, instead of fighting for this, it is better to calm down and think about what kind of thing you like, and then you can come to me to make an appointment, of course, you don't need to pay a deposit, but you must sign a contract, if you breach the contract, compensate for liquidated damages, after all, these are all valuables, especially the best bloodstone is more valuable, in case who doesn't want it, we can't sell it to others, right?"

"That's not a problem, I just want to ask, can you engrave any pattern, can you engrave any word?"

"You can't say that, there are some things that suddenly if it involves breaking the law, then we can't do it categorically, you can say yes. ”

"Don't worry, I won't let you make that kind of thing, I'll think about it first and see what I'm going to get. ”

After the old shopkeeper said this, many people quieted down, went to the rest area to get a pen and paper, and some took out their own tablets and mobile phones to design patterns and fonts, they want what they like, not necessarily in line with the ancient set, but they are guests, just like it, this Zhang Tianyuan will not be too rigid.

Because the bloodstone has been transported here long before Zhang Tianyuan returned to the imperial capital, so if the pattern is designed, you can also choose the stone, according to the quality and size of the stone, to determine the price, and then the contract can be signed, the liquidated damages must be set higher than the value of the stone itself, of course, the carved things must also be satisfied with the customer, in line with the customer's requirements, otherwise it is the store breach.

Except for some people who deliberately mess around, I believe that with Gao Qianqian's level, it is quite easy to satisfy these people.

When the old shopkeeper was busy helping the guests select materials, Zhang Tianyuan focused his attention on the four words carved by Gao Qianqian.

There is no doubt that all four of these are seal characters.

Gao Qianqian gave new life to the ancient Qin seals, so that they got some new meanings, these four words seem to have traveled through time and space, from ancient times to modern times, and then integrated some modern ideas into it, which makes people look old-fashioned and dead.

The layout of the four characters is very good, obviously on the small printing surface, but it will not feel crowded at all, it is very comfortable to look at, the strokes are thick and thin, and the combination is also very clever.

To be honest, Zhang Tianyuan really feels that he has picked up a treasure now, and he originally planned to train Gao Qianqian to become the shopkeeper of the antique shop, but now he suddenly found that she has a bigger growth.

It's like thinking that a beautiful glass ball fell on the side of the road and can be taken back to play, but when you get home, you are surprised to find that it is not a glass ball at all, but a large diamond ring......!
