Chapter 402: A Picturesque and Poetic Treasure

Although it was said that buying a fake thing made Fu Yiyi lose face, but this kid actually came up with a strange idea, he knew that Zhang Tianyuan was a jade expert, even if he didn't have the ancient jade of the Han Dynasty in his hand, then if he gave it to Zhang Tianyuan, Zhang Tianyuan would also want it.

Zhang Tianyuan and Nie Zhen are brothers now, and they are also as close as a family to Old Man Nie.

Of course, it is impossible to ask Zhang Tianyuan for something worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, but if something happens in the future, it is still possible to ask Zhang Tianyuan or the Nie family for a small favor. Anyway, if this thing is left in his hands, he has to throw it away, and now he gives it to Zhang Tianyuan, but it is a waste to be used.

Zhang Tianyuan naturally wouldn't ask for anything from Fu's message in vain, he thought for a while and said: "In this way, the current market value of this thing is seventy or eighty thousand, I will give you eighty thousand, and if you sell it to me, we can be regarded as acquaintances." If you want to give it away for nothing, then forget it, although I am not a high-ranking official, but after all, I don't want to owe others favors, do you think it's okay?"

Where did Fu leave a message to dare to say no, he accepted the money, gave the thing to Zhang Tianyuan, and left with the bronze, probably this kid is not dead, and wants to find someone to see if the bronze is real or fake, after all, Zhang Tianyuan is not an expert in bronze, and it is normal for him to think so.

When Fu left a message and walked away, Nie Zhen smiled and said, "You kid has a beautiful hand, this thing is more than seventy or eighty thousand, right?"

Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "The thing is worth seventy or eighty thousand, I didn't lie to it, just like I said before, the value of Shuhua jade in our country is underestimated by Yan zhòng, but it may increase in price in the future." I bought it to see if my judgment was accurate. ”

"I've heard that Shuhua jade is also divided into grades. What kind of thing is this?" Ouyang Xiaodan suddenly asked.

Her words made Zhang Tianyuan, Nie Zhen and Ye Yulan all stunned. It's not that she doesn't know, but it's strange how she could ask such a professional question.

"Then look at what I'm doing, jade has grades, I think tree jade is similar to ordinary jade, there should be a grade. Ouyang Xiaodan said confidently.

"Oh, that's the case, I'll just say, how can you know that even many experts don't know how to transform jade, it turns out that it's also a blind guess. Zhang Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Relying on his unforgettable skills and fatigue learning, as well as the six-character true trick, he was only able to get to this point, if he was not much stronger than Ouyang Xiaodan, it would be too cheap.

"Do you care if I'm guessing or not, what about the question I asked?" Ouyang Xiaodan asked again.

"If you want to talk about the grade quality of this tree jade, you have to start with the classification. There are two kinds of classification, the first is according to the processing method.

The first type is the tree jade rough. It is a tree jade that has not undergone any artificial processing. This kind of tree jade is relatively difficult to find on the market, because only tree jade with a particularly good shape is not processed, and it is rare to find a tree jade with a particularly good shape.

The second type is peeling, grinding, polishing, and turning jade. Since the wood jade itself is a fossil of a tree. Trees have bark, and the color of these barks is white and boring, which is not good-looking, so only peel off this layer of surface bark and polish it out. It shows the beauty of the tree jade.

The third type is sandblasting and processing of tree jade. When the wood jade is taken for polishing, the natural shape of the tree jade will be completely changed due to the limitations of the processing tools. In recent years, people have come up with the idea of spraying emery at high pressure onto the surface of tree jade. Spray off the bark and impurities on the surface, leaving the jade layer inside. In this way, the tree jade retains its original natural shape. It can also reveal the exquisiteness of the jade inside the tree. However, due to the limitations of the current sandblasting process, the tree jade processed by this method needs to be sprayed with water or wax water in order to achieve the finish of the polishing material.

The tree jade in my hand should be the third category.

Another way to do this is to sort by material.

The first type is a kind of water tree jade, which is like jade, which needs to be carefully carved to reflect the exquisiteness of its jade quality. It is suitable for grinding and polishing, and only those with unique shapes are suitable for sandblasting.

The second type is dry material tree jade, the so-called dry material refers to the appearance of little water, to win the shape of tree jade. It is more common in brown, less common in yellow, rarely in red, and will not be green at all. Suitable for sandblasting.

The third type is brittle tree jade, which has a color like amber and is also a little transparent, but in fact, it is completely jade. Be very careful when processing and transporting, otherwise it will break. It is now uncommon because there is no market demand and Myanmar does not provide it to our country.

The fourth type is water flush tree jade, because it has been on the ground for a long time, there is basically no water, and the shape is not good. The only tree jade wholesale market in the country - Ruili City, southwest province, Yucheng tree jade market can not see this kind of material.

This in my hand is the first type of water tree jade. ”

Nie Zhen couldn't help but sigh and said: "You antiques are also hard enough, don't you have to know everything, don't you learn so many things, won't your brain explode?"

"Explosion? I still think I have learned too little, I don't know a lot of things, that's a shame. Zhang Tianyuan really has a feeling that he hates less when the book is used, and it is also fortunate that he can never forget it now because of the help of the earth, otherwise, it would be unrealistic to supplement so much knowledge in just a few months.

"Listening to you, you appreciate Shuhua jade very much? Otherwise, you wouldn't buy anything for seventy or eighty thousand yuan lightly, right?" Nie Zhen asked again.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said, "Tree jade is different from some other gemstones, it is first and foremost a fossil, the remains of ancient trees petrified. From the annual rings, branches, textures, wormholes, shells, and geological structures and strata of various tree jade distribution areas provided to us, we can obtain a large number of local meteorological data in ancient times, plant community combinations, inter-regional change relationships, longitude and latitude change relationships, geohistorical changes, crustal movements and other laws. It is an extremely valuable book of ancient geography, climate, and history, which provides us with a lot of extremely important ancient information. These are very valuable scientific research materials.

Of course, research is not the right door for me. I'm just emotional, but I won't buy it. The key is that this thing is very beautiful! Tree jade is an ancient treasure that nature has dedicated to mankind. It is an immortal painting, a silent poem. It is also a vast book.

First of all, we appreciate the heavy, thick, strange, unpredictable shape and well-preserved bark, bends, and cavities that are well preserved, as well as some small insects and other parasites attached to the surface that burrow into the tree, which can give people unlimited imagination and rich creative materials and inspiration.

A piece of tree jade is not only a story, but also a beautiful picture. For example, the special reason for the formation of black blue tree jade: because the ancient trees have fallen but have not decayed, cyanobacteria gradually seep into and grow along the cracks of the trees. After that, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked into jade. As a result, you can see beautiful stripes-like textures permeating the jade, and the deep ink is shallow and blue, which is extremely rare.

The picture is not only beautiful, but also three-dimensional. It shows us not only a flat surface, but a space with up, down, left and right, and in all directions, such as hollow cavities, rotten tree hearts, and even crystals and appendages in the heart of the tree. In this respect, it is not so much a picture as a natural sculpture. But the sculpture is not as beautiful, delicate and realistic as it is.

Stone is the essence of the earth, the soul of the earth, the spine of the earth, and jade is the best among the stones, it coexists with the earth, and shines with the sun and the moon. It travels through time with its ancient life to communicate with modern civilization. Communicate and pass on. It is a testimony of the earth we live in from nothing to something, from small to prosperous. It will also continue to silently focus on modern society and the planet, telling stories that have happened, are happening, and will happen.

And after washing and polishing, the tree jade shows a brilliant jade texture. The view is crystal clear, and the light is as bright as ice. Warm and greasy hands, refreshing and comfortable. The rings, textures, and colors that appear from it. The ever-changing colors and the natural charm it exudes are all fascinating.

Shuhua jade will surely become a new generation of desk decorations, home decorations, and courtyard layouts. Even if I make a mistake in the end, then I won't regret it, this thing has its own beauty, people who know how to appreciate it, can always understand its beauty, don't know words, just because I didn't mention it.

The appreciation value of Shuhua jade is also reflected in its inexhaustible connotation and the vast traditional culture left over for thousands of years.

The jade culture has a long history in China, almost throughout the entire history of Chinese civilization, covering all areas of people's lives. From divination and fortune-telling to seeking medical advice, from marriage and funeral to daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as gifts and tokens exchanged between people, almost the shadow of jade can be seen.

Confucius first carefully understood and summarized the characteristics of jade, humanized the character of jade with "eleven virtues", and took it as a model for the gentleman at that time, believing that the gentleman should be "more virtuous than jade". Later generations condensed the "eleven virtues" into "nine virtues" and "five virtues", organically combining the aesthetics of jade with the standards of being a gentleman at that time. The integration of jade and human nature, material and civilization has made jade culture more confident, unique in various cultures, and has a long-lasting influence.

Tree jade is also a kind of petrified wood, because of its wonderful, peculiar, strange beauty and natural characteristics, it can be classified as a strange stone or ornamental stone in terms of type. And the strange stone culture in China also has a long history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the "Book of Shang", "Yu Gong" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" have a clear and clear record of strange stones, and people began to collect and appreciate all kinds of strange stones at that time, and listed it as tribute. For a long time, people have used petrified wood as a decoration for royal palaces, garden buildings, halls and elegant rooms, and it is also widely used in desk desks.

In the process of playing with stones, the stone players of the past dynasties also classified and summarized the strange stones, and summed up the appreciation standards such as "shape, color, texture, rhyme", "wrinkled and thin", "strange and dangerous", and put forward the realm of "humane stone road to stone enlightenment, human nature stone nature to stone nature". When we appreciate the strange stones, we not only get great visual pleasure, but also appreciate a culture, so that the spirit and sentiment are sublimated.

In the final analysis, the tree jade is still the tree jade, and people will get a lot of enlightenment in understanding and studying the vicissitudes of the tree and the characteristics of the jade tree shape.

It's a pity that this thing should have become a superb collection, but it has become a plaything for the people of Xiariba. (To be continued......)
