Chapter 365: What is Jing Embroidery?
"You stinky boy, you usually let you read more books, you should be on the sidelines, right?!" Chu Yingluo hated iron and stared at his little apprentice, and he couldn't wait to go up and beat him twice, "Although there are many embroidery schools in my country, each embroidery has very unique characteristics and techniques. Anyone who knows how to write a pen, a fun and www.biquge.info a court, can tell the difference almost at a glance. It's been so long since this Beijing embroidery picture has been in front of you, haven't you seen anything?!"
Meng Dongyue, who was scolded so bloody, didn't dare to make a sound, shrunk his neck, and stayed in the corner of the sofa aggrievedly.
Chu Ning looked funny and persuaded: "Dad, don't be too strict with Senior Brother Meng." The antique industry is already broad and profound. Many people spend their lives in poverty, and they can't eat this line of work thoroughly. Senior Brother Meng is still young and smart, you can just teach it slowly. ”
Chu Yingluo's mood was much better, and he glared at Meng Dongyue with little power and said, "Look at your junior sister, look at you again! If you are so sensible as your junior sister, do I still need to worry about you so much?!"
Meng Dongyue nodded repeatedly, as well-behaved as a little milk dog.
Chu Ning held back her laughter and suffocated her stomach.
Seeing that the master no longer seemed to be staring at him, Meng Dongyue glanced at Chu Ning resentfully.
Little junior sister, she was born from the same root, so why be in a hurry to fry each other!
Old God Chu Ning looked up at the ceiling and pretended that he didn't see anything.
Meng Dongyue's eyes became even more resentful.
Chu Yingluo didn't see the "eyebrows" between his little apprentice and his daughter, he was looking at the embroidery picture in front of him seriously, and patiently explained to Meng Dongyue: "Beijing embroidery was the most prosperous in the Qing Dynasty, and it was almost exclusively for the court, so its characteristics are also obvious. The color scheme of the embroidery thread of Beijing embroidery is very bright, and it is very similar to the pastel and enamel colors of porcelain that were popular at the time. This alone has already distinguished it from other embroidery genres. You only have to look carefully at this embroidery picture to definitely see this.
In addition, the materials used in Beijing embroidery are also very exquisite, and the most important thing is the preciousness of the materials. In order to make a perfect Beijing embroidery, the Beijing embroidery masters have always chosen the materials in luxury and magnificence regardless of the cost. ”
Meng Dongyue was still a little ignorant when he heard it, but Chu Ning had already reacted: "Dad, what is the origin of the fabric used in this embroidery picture?"
"You don't even see this?" Chu Yingluo's glaring object this time was changed to Chu Ning, "This is silk!"
Meng Dongyue was secretly happy in his heart.
The little junior sister can be regarded as unlucky with herself!
Tsk, even if it's unlucky, the feeling of having someone as a companion is still very refreshing!
"Of course I know this is silk!" Facing his father who has entered the state of strict master, Chu Ning is not as weak and confident as Meng Dongyue, "But I have also seen silk on the market, and there is no one like this!"
"Hey!" Chu Ying sighed slightly, "Silly girl, most of the silk sold on the market now is something produced by mechanization, how can it be compared with ancient times? Besides, this piece of silk was not an ordinary thing even in ancient times, I am afraid it was a tribute at that time!"
Chu Ning and Meng Dongyue were all taken aback.
The things that can be used as tribute are the top existence of the same kind of items, not only are they valuable, but they are also very rare!
The piece of silk in front of them, if it is really a tribute level, even if there is no exquisite embroidery on it, it is still a coveted existence!
Chu Yingluo gently stroked the embroidery picture, and even her voice was a little lighter than just now: "The most famous thing about Beijing embroidery is the luxury of materials." The silk used for embroidery alone was definitely the best silk of the time. ”
The best satin, of course, should be accompanied by the best embroidery.
It is said that the embroidery thread used in Beijing embroidery is not only made of silk, but also a large number of gold and silver threads. Chu Yingluo smiled, "I can't see the silk, but this gold and silver thread is still very recognizable." If you are interested, you can come and find out what proportion of the gold and silver thread is in the embroidery thread. ”
When Chu Ning and Meng Dongyue heard this, they were really a little interested.
Meng Dongyue lay in front of the embroidery drawing, carefully observing the proportion of gold and silver threads in the embroidery thread, but Chu Ning didn't need to be so troublesome.
With just a sweep of her spiritual power, she was able to determine the proportions of the different components in the embroidery thread.
Besides, even if you don't have to look closely, this embroidery picture looks golden from a distance, and you can see that the proportion of gold and silver threads is absolutely indispensable.
On closer inspection, Chu Ning found that these gold and silver threads were mainly concentrated on the headdresses and clothes of the characters in the picture, as well as some decorations of the pavilions.
"Hey, Dad, this embroidery is really the style of Beijing embroidery!" Chu Ning said suddenly.
Meng Dongyue rolled his eyes and said, "Little junior sister, the master just said that this is Beijing embroidery, and now you say so, isn't this an afterthought?!"
"Stinky boy, do you know what an afterthought is?!" Chu Yingluo slapped Meng Dongyue on the back of the head, which sounded loud, but in fact he didn't use any strength at all.
Meng Dongyue was aggrieved again.
Master, this is too partial little sister!
However, who makes the family father and daughter?
Meng Dongyue sighed in his heart, and decided that when the master was present in the future, he would definitely not be able to do it against the little junior sister like this!
Chu Ning looked at Meng Dongyue with a smile, but there was a smugness in his eyes that he couldn't hide.
She just has her father's backing, how about it?!
Chu Ying looked at her daughter gently and said, "Chu Chu, do you know what the style of Beijing embroidery is?"
"Of course I know!" Speaking of business, Chu Ning's expression was a little more serious, "The embroidery techniques of Beijing embroidery, in addition to the famous sprinkle embroidery, flat gold, bead embroidery, etc., are generally coiled into patterns with gold and silver threads, and then fixed with silk embroidery threads. And this embroidery technique, also known as panjin, is not found in other embroidery genres, can be described as unique, especially rich and gorgeous. The picture in front of us is a gold pan!"
Chu Ying raised her eyebrows.
Looking at her daughter's eloquent appearance, it is obvious that she knows a lot more about Beijing embroidery than he imagined.
She has not been by her side all these years, and she has no one to teach, but she has such a deep understanding of antiques and even embroidery!
It would never have been possible to do this without the hard work that has been done day in and day out.
If his apprentice could be so diligent in his antique studies, he would be gratified. But when it came to his daughter, Chu Yingluo suddenly felt a little distressed.
Chu Ning saw the emotion in his father's eyes, for fear that his father would think deeply again, so he hurriedly continued: "Dad, look at every character in this embroidery, their headdress style, and clothing patterns, all of which contain auspicious meanings, and there is no difference between them and the shape of real people." Is this the one in the Beijing embroidery, the picture must be intentional, and the pattern must be auspicious?"
