After Tian Yu's story was finished, Zhang Tianyuan was also thoughtful, he did not know much about miniature carving, and originally thought that miniature carving was not at all in the collection world

It's a popular collection, but after Zhang Tianyuan checked the information on the computer, he realized that he was very wrong.

As I said before, when it comes to miniature carving, people will think of the Ming dynasty Wei Xueyun's "Nuclear Boat Record", he described the "Kit Kat Man" Wang Shuyuan's nuclear carving "Night Tour Red."

wall", breathtaking. As a traditional craft technology in our country, miniature carving artworks have also begun to attract people's attention in the field of collection and auction

Auction trends and prospects are booming. In the spring of 2005, Shangpu Public Auction House auctioned a miniature carved Nine Dragon Wall, and the price of the hammer was finalized at 660,000 yuan. And the end of the Qing Dynasty

The works of miniature carver Yu Shuo are a sought-after item at auction and have repeatedly fetched high prices.

What can an object the size of a grain of rice hide? For many people, they may turn a blind eye, but for the master of miniature carving, they can turn the whole "ugly".

Room inscription" and a landscape painting are incorporated, and this is the charm of the miniature carving collection. For example, the sculptors of the Tang Dynasty could carve the "marching map of soldiers" on an ivory pen, Wang Shuyuan of Changshu in the Ming Dynasty once carved the "Dongpo Chibi Night Tour Map" on the peach pit, and the Qing Dynasty because of an artist wrote "Longevity without borders" on a grain of sesame

For Qianlong's birthday, make the miniature carving more famous.

The art of miniature carving is a traditional arts and crafts developed from the evolution of the oracle bone inscription 3,000 years ago in China, which can be used in oracle bones, ivory, pearls, bamboo, stone, and porcelain

, rice grains, hair, landscapes, people, flowers, birds, birds, animals, calligraphy and other different themes can be vividly expressed under the artist's carving knife. small

Carving is also a small and delicate carving technique that the viewer must use a magnifying glass or microscope to admire. Among the diverse collections. small

With its new, strange, micro and special characteristics, carved artworks have stimulated the desire of some collectors to collect.

At present, the domestic collection of miniature carving artworks is mainly based on the works of famous artists. In addition to being ornamental, these works also have a certain practical value. As a normal receipt

Collectors. Whether it is a combination of practicality and artistry of miniature carving artworks, or pure ornamental miniature carving works, as long as the artistic taste is high, the carving is good

Collection.

Nowadays, the collection of miniature sculptures is also very hot in the collection world, but Zhang Tianyuan has not been in contact with it before, so he doesn't know much about it.

In ancient China, there was a period of subsidence, but the sinking is not extinction after all.

Life is like a hanging thread, but it has always been inherited.

The Tang Dynasty beast pattern "Heart Sutra" micro-engraved bronze mirror collected by Tian Yu's father mentioned earlier was engraved with nearly 300 characters in a space of about 4 square centimeters

Smaller than a small ant.

Then. Without a magnifying glass, let alone a "reader", even an engraver, there is no way to read his own creations.

Tian Yu's father was lucky. With the help of modern magnification technology, he became the first real viewer.

How Wang Shuyuan's "nuclear boat" is carved, we can only listen to Wei Xueyun's narration. Because it has been lost. Besides, Wang Shuyuan's micro-engraving has turned around gorgeously, from

The spirit of offering turned to the billowing red dust.

In the red dust, miniature carving has been revived. Growing stronger.

However, the bronze mirror of the Heart Sutra, which feeds the spirit, is undoubtedly the "key" to interpreting the thousand-year-old immortal inheritance.

How is it carved?

Honestly, pretty good. At least, many middle school students nowadays draw normally with a fountain pen. It may not be able to reach the level of this Tang Dynasty microcarver.

Antiques and antiques, only by playing, can its culture be played.

If this bronze mirror doesn't fall into the hands of the fun-loving Tian Yu's father. It is likely to be the eternal "pearl" in the long river of culture!

In fact, Tian Yu did not tell Zhang Tianyuan, his father liked to collect miniature carvings. And he himself is equally obsessed with this kind of collection.

Just a few years ago. He scooped up a bronze locket about 3 centimeters in diameter.

It is rumored that the locket came from the underground palace of a certain monk in the Tang Dynasty.

"It looks like a woman's vanity box, and when you open it, there's a dry clay cake inside." Tian Yu later sued Zhang Tianyuan and said: "Cosmetics? Not really

Possibly! Do monks use any cosmetics? ”

According to comprehensive research, the bronze locket is from the Tang Dynasty. The question is, what exactly is the "medicine" in the box. Confused, he broke off a little bit and pulled out the fire

machine, ignited. I don't know if I don't "burn", but I am shocked when I "burn": the green smoke curls up, and the strange fragrance comes from the nose.

Incense, this is the legendary fragrance of the Tang Dynasty!

The incense road has been completed in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the monk Jianzhen in the Tang Dynasty traveled east to Japan, not only passing on Buddhism, but also the incense culture closely related to Buddhism

It was brought to Japan and laid the foundation of Japan's "incense way".

Flower arrangement, tea drinking, chess, incense and other living arts originated in China. However, to this day, the elegant art of life such as incense, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement,

The sacred and solemn cultural heritage is quite unfamiliar to the vast majority of Chinese people.

There is perfume in the West and incense in the East.

Incense, as far as people are concerned, is as Juskind, the author of "Perfume", said: "Man can close his eyes before greatness, before fear, before beauty, yes."

Don't listen to beautiful melodies or seductive words, but you can't escape the taste. Because taste is with breath...... If you want to live, you can't refuse the taste. The taste penetrates directly into people's hearts...... He who dominates the taste dominates the heart. ”

In the West, perfume as a cosmetic product is a mundane thing; In the East, tasting incense has always been a matter of self-cultivation.

In order to recover the lost elegance, Tian Yu rushed to Shangpu and asked Mr. Wu Qing, who was well versed in incense, to "dissect" the fragrance of the Tang Dynasty.

"The ingredients were analyzed, and it was found that there were Qi Nan agarwood and pepper cinnamon. Ha, pepper isn't all spicy soup! Also, there's ambergris or something. Haha, I can't say it all! Tian Yu later became friends with Zhang Tianyuan, and when he mentioned this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "A hundred words are not as good as a product, ingredient analysis."

It's out, and we're also copied it out than the gourd painting scoop. ”

Tian Yu carefully broke off a piece of incense less than 1 centimeter. A set of rituals flowing through the clouds, and the room was suddenly filled with a strange fragrance. Not incineration. Instead, a small piece of red charcoal is placed in the incense ash and a small hole is carved out of it; A piece of Hetian white jade is placed on it. Put the incense head again

On the Hetian jade slices.

"It's not a complete 'clone' yet, and I'm not willing to add ambergris, it's too expensive." Tian Yu said: "Outside, the smog is dense. Those days, I was tossed up

Itchy throat and nose. After tasting the fragrance for a few minutes, my throat and nose were refreshed. Ha, reviving the Tang Dynasty incense road, I don't think I can deal with the annoying haze of the dead! ”

When Zhang Tianyuan was studying miniature carving, Tian Yu was not idle. He saw that Zhang Tianyuan was so attentive, so he picked up the work in his hand again and started to do it

Get up.

Tian Yu is not only experienced, but also has outstanding skills, basically after drawing a pattern on a piece of scrap, he can immediately start the jade cutting machine to carve, that

Shuang's hands, which originally looked delicate and fair, were more flexible and abnormal at this time, and Zhang Tianyuan only saw him holding the jade material on the miniature diamond drill bit of the jade cutting machine

After fiddling for a while, a kind and harmonious image of Guanyin was vividly presented in front of the eyes of the world.

China is a country that believes in Buddhism. Many people believe that wearing Buddha and Guanyin can turn evil into good fortune, bless peace, and bring good luck. There are men in the south

Buddha, the female Dai Guanyin; In the north, there is a man who wears Guanyin. The female Dai Buddha said. The laughing Buddha protects the owner's open-mindedness, everything goes smoothly, happiness, blessings, and health. see

The sound bodhisattva "great compassion", "relief from suffering", "purification of sentient beings".

Tian Yu chose Guanyin's shape, and naturally there was a reason for him.

Of course, it was made at the beginning. It's still just a rough blank, and then it also has to be polished to see the wonderful. But this kind of small piece throwing

The light is relatively simple, especially the automatic polishing of the machine. The effect will be better, and the time will be greatly reduced.

About six hours later, Zhang Tianyuan felt a little hungry again, thinking that today's meal might be almost ready, and he was going to eat.

I heard a sound in the polishing machine, and it turned out that the polishing of the three bracelets was over.

The three bracelets put in at the beginning, one is imperial green, and two are red jade, which is really red and green, which is particularly beautiful.

This is a bracelet polished out of glass material, compared to the bracelet of the ice seed, it is more crystal clear, and it is definitely not an ordinary product, after polishing

The surface of the bracelet exudes a moist and provocative red and green light, looking at the light, the bracelet is like a freeze, there seems to be a gurgling stream flowing

, exuding a touching fluorescent color, Zhang Tianyuan said before that he was not interested in this kind of thing, but at this time the bracelet was really made

After that, he was also intoxicated.

Tian Yu put the bracelet that was not polished into the polishing machine again, this time directly put five into it, because the first three can be regarded as real, indeed

There is no problem with recognizing the machine, and the next thing is relatively simple.

He saw Zhang Tianyuan's obsessive gaze, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, your material itself is top-notch, and this is just polishing, no."

There is a final cleaning and waxing treatment, and if it is finished, the color can be seen even in the backlight, which is very beautiful. ”

"Oh, you're telling the truth?"

"That's nature."

"In that case, I'm going to ask Designer Tian, but it's not too early now, let's eat first, and then continue after eating." Zhang Tianyuan said

Road.

"I'll eat here, you have to treat people next to the machine, otherwise something will be difficult to deal with." Tian Yu said.

"Okay, let's eat here together, I'll ask Auntie to bring the food."

There is not so much attention to cooking in Shaanzhou, most of them are pasta, and they rarely eat rice. Especially in the countryside, this is especially the case, and the aunt who cooks today will do it

It's hemp food, this is a special pasta dish in Shaanzhou, and the oil and spicy seeds are poured on it, and the feeling is really very exciting.

The history of this kind of pasta can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, when it was called "bald hemp loss" (Yuan Dynasty "Complete Collection of Household Essentials"), also called "bald."

bald hemp food" (Yuan Dynasty "Drinking and Eating Zhengyao"). Mr. Jia Pingwa called it "圪咜" in the "Shaanzhou Snack Record" (Shaanxi. Beiling). Guanzhong people call it hemp

Food, cat ears. Using buckwheat noodles as a material, in fact, it is not so particular, in Zhang Tianyuan's village, everyone uses ordinary wheat flour to make it. Pinch the finger egg noodles

The dough is rubbed on the net straw hat for fine eating, and the thick pieces are rubbed by hand for lazy eating. It is mainly distributed in Shaanzhou, Ganzhou, and Jinzhou, and it is a simple daily diet that everyone likes

one.

When the good news of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War came, he couldn't help but say to his wife: "Buy me a straw hat, I want to eat."

Hometown dinner, buy some more wine and food, and celebrate. It turned out that his hometown was in Pu, Shaanzhou Province. Chengxian County, where the hometown rice is hemp food. Straw hat as a day

Rain gear is often used locally as a tool for making zuò hemp food, in order to rub the pattern on the straw hat. (To be continued......)
