Chapter 357 Chang Envy the Jade Lang in the World
After discussing with Zhang Tianyuan, Tian Yu began to work, and the large piece of zuò was placed in the back, that is because he needs a process from shallow to deep, first move to make bracelets and pendants, which are relatively simple, and then gradually enter the state and then do the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Chinese Buddha Rhyme, it will be even more effective with half the effort.
Although there is a fixed formula for the bracelet, Tian Yu still carefully made the sample drawings and printed them out for easy reference, so as not to make mistakes when you get them.
Generally speaking, the inner ring circumference of the bracelet is 157~163 mm, and the inner diameter of the bracelet is 50~52 mm, which is relatively small, and most of the bracelets sold in the store now are with an inner ring circumference of 182~191 mm and an inner diameter of 58~61 mm, or a bracelet with an inner diameter of more than 61 mm, which can be applied to most people.
Because of this, the bracelet is also made carefully, if it is a big grin, even the simplest thing, it will be poor.
China is a big country in jadeite processing, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the jadeite processing industry has developed faster, and many masterpieces have been created, such as the four national treasures: "Qunfang Range Rover", "Jubilant of the Four Seas", "Daiyue Wonders", "Fragrant Jurui Flower Smoke".
One of the most beautiful jadeites in the world is a heart-shaped jadeite set in the king's buckle at the coronation of the king of Iran in 1967, about 175 carats.
The world's largest piece of jadeite, weighing 33 tons, was discovered in 1982 in the jungle of northern Myanmar. After the reform and opening up, jadeite and other gemstones have entered the lives of ordinary people more and more.
Jadeite is loved by oriental peoples because it has a beautiful, deep, steady, and mysterious emerald green color and temperament.
During the Qing Dynasty. Jadeite can be said to be in full swing.
The Qing Dynasty court made extensive use of jadeite, such as the ceiling and hat inlay, the pearls, seals and other physical objects, jade ruyi, bonsai, bottles, Guanyin and other jade objects.
During the Qianlong period, jadeite ornaments were used in large quantities, and a pair of "plum blossoms" bonsai used 46 jadeite.
Among the funeral objects of the Empress Dowager Cixi are a large number of jade ornaments, such as the magic wand, Buddha, jade watermelon, cabbage, peach, etc.
Although there are various jadeite products, bracelets have always been the mainstream of jadeite small pieces, and the value is also high, in addition to its simplicity of making, more importantly. The bracelet can reflect the characteristics of jadeite.
"Boss Zhang. Did you know that there is a legend about bracelets?"
"What legend?"
Legend has it that the prince of the Dragon Palace fell in love with a woman in the mortal world, but the rules of heaven do not allow people and gods to fall in love, and the prince of the Dragon Palace was punished by the Jade Emperor, but the prince's love for the woman was not broken. He was reluctant to let go of his lover. Just transform yourself into a bracelet. Wrap around the wrist of your lover, take care of your lover, and stay with it for a long time. Ancient times. Women's left hand is generally wearing jade beads and jade bracelets, with the development of society, the passage of time, gold, silver, jade as the representative of the bracelet appeared. Although the material has changed, the beautiful meaning of the bracelet has been passed down. Tian Yu replied with a smile.
"It's funny, no wonder girls love bracelets. ”
"Humans have been wearing ornaments since the late Paleolithic period, as evidenced by the beautiful bracelets carved into mammoth ivory unearthed in Langmaizin, Ukraine. At the same time, bracelets made of zuò made of fish vertebrae were excavated in Grimadi on the Riviera coast, as well as bracelets made of shells, oyster shells, and animal teeth. Bracelets can be long and ancient in the history of ornaments. Bracelets seem to be very popular in both the East and the West, and the jade bracelet is the most characteristic of our Oriental nation, and the bracelet made of the best jadeite is even more beautiful. Tian Yu said: "Boss Zhang, you don't have to stay here anymore, just play when you should play, be busy when you should be busy, you must have a lot of things to do as a big boss, right?"
"Okay, you get busy, I'm going to find something too. Zhang Tianyuan is not worried that Tian Yu will hide his jadeite privately, this warehouse is equipped with cameras, which was originally used to deal with thieves, and it can be regarded as handy at this time.
It's not that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, the key is that his two pieces of jade are really good, and in doing so, it can also avoid misunderstandings between two people because of some unnecessary things.
After Zhang Tianyuan left, he read a book for a while, went outside for a walk, helped his parents do some work, and when he came back, he saw a note left by Tian Yu in the living room.
He went to the warehouse to find Tian Yu, and the aunt who was cooking complained: "Tianyuan, the craftsman who works in your family really doesn't care about his body, I made a meal for him to eat, he had to say that he would eat after finishing his work, I had been hot several times, he just didn't eat, this person's body is not iron, it will be bad if it goes on like this." ”
"Auntie, I'll go tell him, you go home first. ”
"Okay, then I'm leaving. ”
Zhang Tianyuan is also very helpless against Tian Yu, this Tian Yu is simply a typical workaholic, and he forgets to sleep and eat when he does things.
"Boss Zhang, you're here, I have something to ask you. When Tian Yu saw Zhang Tianyuan coming back, he turned around and said.
"Don't talk yet, let me speak first. Zhang Tianyuan said very strictly: "Let's make a rule, if you can't eat and sleep on time in the future, then I will ask others to help, if you are tired to my house, I am afraid I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." ”
"Don't, don't, I'll just listen to you, listen to you. What Tian Yu was most afraid of was that Zhang Tianyuan wouldn't let him work, and when he heard Zhang Tianyuan threaten him like this, he could only agree.
"Okay, just say yes, you say, what do you want me to do next?"
"Yes, some of these pendants, earrings, and rings need some other material to decorate, like gold, silver, platinum, and even diamonds, or inlay, or wrap, or make chains, to bring out the beauty of jadeite. I've already made all the drawings out, you can take them and find someone to order them, it should be no problem, right?" Tian Yu asked.
"No problem, Master Liu should be able to complete this matter, right?"
"Oh, how did I forget about that. My teacher has a few stores, you give it to him, then it must be no problem, okay, I'll leave this matter to you, I have to continue to be busy. Tian Yu said with a smile.
"Why did you forget jì again, hurry up and eat, and be busy after eating. ”
Tian Yu was actually so hungry that his stomach was growling, but he forgot about it when he was busy, and said a few words to Zhang Tianyuan at this time. I really feel hungry and feverish. So he hurried to eat the food, and then returned to the storeroom.
To make small pieces such as bracelets and pendants, you have to break down the jadeite into small pieces, which are suitable for the size of the carving.
Previously, Tian Yu had already cut out the jadeite used to make the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and the Chinese Buddha rhyme. The rest of the leftovers and scraps. It is used to make small items such as bracelets and pendants.
Before decomposing these jadeites. Tian Yu is like cleaning vegetables, cleaning every piece of jade with water, because this work must not be sloppy. The slightest dirty place may affect the work.
"This is the jade machine, right?" asked Zhang Tianyuan, pointing to a machine in the warehouse.
"Yes, this is the jade machine, which is the most important machine used in the process of jade processing, which is mainly composed of the fuselage, transmission shaft and grinding head, etc., driven by an electric motor, the speed can be adjusted, and the tool is installed on the main shaft. Tian Yu nodded and explained: "What is the basic difference between the principle of this jade machine and the traditional jade machine, that is, the power equipment replaces the pedal with electricity, and the processing system above adopts a modern engraving machine grinding head." ”
"'I often envy the jade lang in the world, and the sky should beg and point to the girl. As far as the song goes, the wind rises, and the snow flies and the sea becomes cool. When he returned from thousands of miles, he smiled and smiled, and when he smiled, he still had the fragrance of Lingmei. I asked Lingnan if it should be good, but he said: This place of peace is my hometown. Mr. Su Dongpo's beautiful poems let us associate jade with beautiful things, and have a reverie for beautiful jade and jade! I used to think, how did such a beautiful jade come from, but unfortunately Sister Nie is not here, she has always been very interested in it. Zhang Tianyuan sighed and said.
"Actually, it's nothing, the jade looks beautiful, but in fact, the process of making zuò is very boring, and there is even some soil. Tian Yu began to work as he spoke.
Tian Yu used the thallium mounted on the main shaft, which is a small circular saw, to follow the rough drawing line he drew on the cut material, and decompose the jade materials other than the black lines from the whole piece of material, the big one is the size of a thumb, but the small one is as fine as a bean grain.
If these things are replaced by others, they can obviously only be disposed of as waste, but for Zhang Tianyuan, it may not be, his six-character formula is absolutely able to repair these so-called non-fertilizers and combine them into brand-new jadeite.
In this way, the inevitable losses in the process of jade carving came to his hands, but he could make the best use of things, and he could minimize the losses as much as possible.
Of course, it is not realistic to use all of them, after all, no matter how you repair and reorganize, in the end there must be a fertilizer that cannot be used to make zuò, so you can only give up, but even so, you can increase the utilization rate to 99%, which others can't do.
"The jade machine is actually a stone machine, that is, a jade grinding machine, the Qing people called the "water stool", the Ming people called the "jade machine", the workers called the "stone", "thallium", there are few records in ancient times. An expedient way for us to study the stone machine is to trace the source from the present and the past, and trace it back, although it is not easy to reach the source, but we can see its trace, or we can faintly hear its pondering sound.
There are two kinds of modern stone machine, the first is the electric iron stone machine, which is made of diamond powder, so it is called the sand stone; the second is the snakeskin drill, similar to the dentist's tooth repair machine, its rotation speed is faster, the modern jade grinding machine - sand stone, no need to dip the water sand, only use a thin stream of water, it is indeed convenient, but the speed is too fast There are also advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that it is fast, and the efficiency is several times higher than that of the log, and the disadvantage is that some work is not easy to do. But this is not a problem for me, the skilled master of Zhuoyu can give full play to the efficiency of the stone machine, by the way, this one I use is an electric iron machine. ”
Zhang Tianyuan was afraid that something would happen to him while talking, so he hurriedly said: "Designer Tian, you should be busy slowly, you don't need to explain to me, there is a manual here, I'll take a look." ”
"It's fine. Tian Yu was actually reluctant to snub Zhang Tianyuan, since Zhang Tianyuan proposed not to let him speak, he was happy to do this, and simply concentrated on his work.
If you really want to talk about it, it's complicated enough. The function of the iron tool is used for cutting and grinding, and the thallium used by Tian Yu just now is equivalent to a circular saw, which is installed on the jade grinding machine, and the emery is driven by rotation through guò, which is used for useless parts other than the deinking line. The process is divided into folding, buckle and scratching. It is a cut edge and hanging angle; The buckle refers to cutting diagonally from two angles and stripping off the middle part; Scratching is the repeated use of cutting and buckling. These are used in the moulding process. (To be continued......)
