Half an hour, said long is not long, short is not short, but the people who watch the excitement do not feel anything, unconsciously passed, when the pattern on the bloodstone showed a delicate appearance, people found that Gao Qianqian this girl carved out of a rabbit.

Gao Qianqian is a rabbit, so she carved a jade rabbit.

The Jade Rabbit Seal, I'm afraid it rarely appears in ancient history, but Gao Qianqian's approach made Zhang Tianyuan have a new idea.

Modern people pursue individuality, if the carving seal is just conformist, then most of them can only play in a small circle, but if a little divergent thinking, you should be able to find a lot of ways to make money.

For example, the constellation seal, the zodiac seal, etc., isn't this something new?

Now a lot of people come to Panjiayuan to buy seals, that is not practical, if you really want to be practical, you can directly use the computer engraving machine to finish, there is no need for manual engraving, time-consuming and expensive, so it is still that sentence, the audience and market of this seal must be clear, don't get it wrong.

The snow-white jade rabbit is exactly the place where the bloodstone is white, which originally belonged to the worthless part of the bloodstone, but at this time it has become the most attractive thing, this jade rabbit is cute, petite and lovely, absolutely deeply liked by girls, turning useless things into useful, and even the most attractive place, this is probably what a real carver has to do.

In Zhang Tianyuan's view, this bloodstone is no longer an ordinary rough bloodstone, but has become a work of art, a dazzling work of art.

Everybody knows that. Seals can't just look pretty, the most important thing is the lettering. So this jade rabbit is carved, and the outline of the seal is carved. This is just the beginning, and the next thing to see is the level of Gao Qianqian's lettering, if the lettering fails, it is only a failed seal after all.

"Brother Zhang, are you still satisfied with my jade rabbit?"

"Yes, the pearl is round and jade, and the sword is very admirable, but Sissi. The most important part of this seal is the lettering, do you think you can?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"That's natural, if you don't come up with a topic, Brother Zhang, no matter what type of seal it is, I'll carve it for you!" Gao Qianqian was still so confident.

"That's not necessary, you just do it according to your own ideas, I regret it a little when I see your craftsmanship, I should give you a better piece of raw materials." But now that we've got to this point, you're done, and I'll see what the finished product looks like.

The master of engraving is not necessarily a master of seals, after all, the gap between the pattern and the text is still quite large. Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan still has a certain degree of skepticism about whether Gao Qianqian can be completed smoothly in the end, and he will not be able to finish it until the end. I can't say a lot of things.

Of course, even if this seal does not succeed. Zhang Tianyuan is going to train Gao Qianqian well, although the jade rabbit carved by this girl is still a little childish. Not as good as those veteran craftsmen, but this childishness, but let her work become more individual, I believe that with a little training, this is a real carving master, I didn't expect it, Zhang Tianyuan really didn't expect it, this girl, there is such a ability.

Before Gao Qianqian said that she followed her grandfather to learn to carve seals when she was seven or eight years old, Zhang Tianyuan was still a little skeptical, but now he believes it, judging from the carving techniques of this jade rabbit, without more than ten years of hard work, it is absolutely impossible to reach this kind of process, this is definitely the experience accumulated over many years, honed technology.

"Is it okay to do anything?"

"Well, you can do whatever you want, and it's up to you to play freely today. Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said.

"Okay, I see. ”

Hearing Zhang Tianyuan's words, Gao Qianqian thought for a moment, then looked at her suitcase, and selected another more delicate carving knife from it to start the seal carving work, this knife is much smaller than the previous one, it should be the kind of carving knife specially used for carving.

The ancients chiseled copper and carved jade, and the process was more complicated. The good stone is very suitable for force, just like the good paper by the pen and ink, where the iron pen goes, the stone chips are draped, showing the effect of natural cracking, and the line traces left have the ancient and vigorous gold and stone atmosphere. Knife methods can be roughly divided into two types: punching knives and cutting knives.

The knife travels quickly, pouring thousands of miles, much like the calligraphy in a straight stroke, which can show the vigorous and vigorous momentum, while the knife travels slowly, and is continuously cut with a short-range broken knife, step by step, just like the astringent pen in calligraphy, which can show the strong and condensed, thick and steady atmosphere. Sometimes the combination of the two knife techniques is more effective.

Zhang Tianyuan still knows about these, after all, even if he has never carved a seal, he has seen others engrave it, and he has read many books on this subject, so he still has his own understanding of this carved seal.

In the process of engraving, Gao Qianqian obviously punched the knife more, basically without pausing in the middle, which is somewhat similar to her character, she is very straightforward, and she does not have so many eyes.

There are also cutters, but they are only used to depict small print.

The punching knife is more time-saving, so Gao Qianqian carved this seal, but it only took more than ten minutes, plus the previous thirty minutes, a total of forty minutes, less than an hour, this is really quite fast, the key is that she has not lost control of the carving knife because the speed is too fast, the carving knife and her hand, as if perfectly integrated together, do not feel any lag at all, this action, even more flexible than many master hands Zhang Tianyuan has seen.

That's probably the advantage of being younger, the older masters may be better than hers, but they are definitely not as nimble as her hands.

After finishing the seal carving work, Zhang Tianyuan was about to get up to look, but was stopped by the old shopkeeper.

"Wait, there's still work to be done. ”

Zhang Tianyuan actually knew that there was still a process to be completed, but he couldn't wait at this time, from not believing it at the beginning, to being skeptical later, and then to being completely admired now. Zhang Tianyuan felt that he should never judge people by their appearance in the future, otherwise. That's a shame.

Gao Qianqian took out the sandpaper from the suitcase and sanded it. Each time, she carefully sanded the printing surface with coarse sandpaper, and then carefully rubbed it on the carved pattern with fine sandpaper, and gradually, the original rough and inferior piece of bloodstone raw material was suddenly transformed into a commendable handicraft.

"Is this really the bloodstone I just gave you? It's completely like an ugly duckling turning into a white swan!" Zhang Tianyuan also praised the seal made by Gao Qianqian from the bottom of his heart, what he said was not too much, it was true, at least in his opinion. This seal has reached the level of a work of art, and it is not just a simple seal.

In fact, strictly speaking, Gao Qianqian met Zhang Tianyuan's requirements, because what Zhang Tianyuan asked him to do was to play with the seal.

The art of carving seals as a literary play to make zuò and collect. Seal carving seal, in our country has a long cultural history of thousands of years, modern generally to stone, such as Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone. Bahrain stone, Chang fossil and so on. Before the Yuan Dynasty, copper was generally the mainstay. to ivory, hardwood, agate. Jade, jade, amber. Bamboo roots and other types of zuò can be used for two purposes, appreciation, and seal carving, for the collection of cultural toys. The shape is vivid. It's colorful and cute.

In our country. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, there were seals in China, the seals at that time were mainly used as identity certificates, at that time the most noble was the emperor's seal, Mongolian gold and other ethnic minorities, like to use gold, ivory, keel, horns, etc. as the material of the seal, the common people printed the materials, buttons, and sizes are strictly regulated, so it is a symbol of power, and the printing materials were originally mostly copper, jade, etc., the people are mainly used for commercial exchanges, and the market must be used to move around.

Of course, there are also stone seals, folk "one or two fields of yellow and three taels of gold, Changhua bloodstone has no price" saying, which shows the importance of stone, but the seal of fine carving technology to the old also has a high market price. Seals are very different from stone, history and culture, and types, and they can only depend on personal hobbies. To be a good seal collector, you must be familiar with Chinese history and culture.

Most of the ancient seals have button decoration technology, and the fineness of the button will directly affect the value of the ancient seal. The button decoration is carved with ingenuity, delicate and expressive, and the level of thin relief is superb, and the added value is also improved.

So this means that if you have good stone, you must also have good workmanship.

Of course, the bloodstone that Zhang Tianyuan gave to Gao Qianqian was not very good, but Gao Qianqian used her own technology to turn it into a rare good thing, although it can't be compared with many very valuable ancient seals, but it can definitely make this piece of bloodstone worth only one or two hundred pieces instantly increase in value by more than ten times, this is her ability.

"Brother Zhang, it's good if you're satisfied, when I was working outside, I never forgot to do this, because this is the only thing that can make me see hope, the only thing that can be calm, I'm afraid that I forgot this, and even forgot about myself, so from the beginning when you let you carve the seal, I knew that my opportunity had come, although I may not be interested in anything else, but for this, I am absolutely confident." Gao Qianqian's words revealed a lot of information, one to show that she had not had a good time in the past, the second to show that she had always had some expectations, and the third to fully express her self-confidence.

Everyone has their own growth, stick to it, and always be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon, and give up, maybe this road will be completely dead.

As she spoke, she handed the jade rabbit seal to Zhang Tianyan and asked Zhang Tianyuan to conduct the final examination.

In fact, where is the test, Zhang Tianyuan was watching the whole process just now, what is Gao Qianqian's level, he can see it very clearly, in the end, it is just to appreciate it well, after all, he likes good things, if you don't take it in your hand and appreciate it carefully, it may be a pity.

"Sissi, I said that this is not only satisfied, it is simply a big surprise to me, I apologize for my suspicions about you before, at your level, it is really a bit overkill to be wronged in my small shop. ”

Zhang Tianyuan's words came from the heart, he really felt that if Gao Qianqian made zuò seals for sale, she might soon become a famous seal carving master in China, especially since she was still a girl and so young, so there would be more conditions for hype. (To be continued......)
