The moment he saw the Qingniu Yan, Chu Yunqiu's eyes couldn't help but flicker, he didn't know how Du Lao got the Qingniu Yan, but the Qingniu Yanyan did have an unrivaled attraction for him, and it was fatal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chu Yunqiu, who didn't want to accept it, hesitated at this time.

Although he doesn't know much about Qingniu Yan, he knows a lot about the Golden Monkey King Yan in "One Stone and Three Inkstones", whether it is in books or TV shows, the Golden Monkey King Yan is regarded as a typical representative.

was reported in a big way.

According to rumors, the golden monkey king inkstone is cuboidal, flattened, carved from the precious Duanxi Laokeng Daxi Cave stone, the stone color is purple and blue with a little green, the stone is dense, solid, delicate, tender as a child's skin, there are fish brain jelly, fire hammer, blue and white and gold thread and other stone products. There is a natural fish brain jelly in the inkstone hall that resembles a macaque, and there is a rouge fire around it, under the backdrop of the fire, the macaque image is vivid and lifelike. The forehead, lips, back, and side of the inkstone are all decorated with thin and shallow carving techniques, and the mountains and mountains, flowing springs and waterfalls, and peach trees are carved according to their aptitude. The two sides of the inkstone are engraved with the inscription, and the right side is inscribed: "Thousand Golden Monkey King Yan, Guangxu Renchen, Yushan He Xiansu Collection", and the left side inscription: "Guo Lanxiang as an inkstone, Xiang Xinnan journal".

The golden monkey Wang Yan was found by Shang Chengzuo, a famous Chinese paleographer, calligrapher and expert in the study of ancient cultural relics, who once braved the fire to rescue cultural relics during the Anti-Japanese War, including a precious bronze mirror of the Warring States Period.

After Shang Chengzuo saw the Qianjin Monkey King Yan, he took the inkstone and watched it repeatedly, and also told the shopkeeper that the name of this inkstone is Qianjin Monkey King Yan, which has a great origin, and is related to Zhang Zhidong, a historical celebrity in China.

It is rumored that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong served as the governor of Liangguang and presided over the development of inkstones in eastern Guangdong.

In the area of Zhaoqing Axe Keshan and Beiling, within a radius of nearly 100 square kilometers, there are dozens of inkstone pits, the famous end stone is produced from these pits, among which the inkstone produced by the "old pit" is the most precious, delicate and delicate, dense and solid, the ink effect is good, the ink is delicate and oily, not easy to dry up, and it has won the love of the literati and emperors and generals of the past dynasties.

Legend has it that the ink ground out of the inkstone is "not ice in the middle of winter", and the words written on the paper are "insects and ants are not moth".

In ancient times, it was very difficult to quarry in the old pit, the pit was under water, about 80 meters long, in the dry season in winter, dozens of people went down to the hole, sat one person every other meter, lined up in a row, used a clay pot to dig out the water in the hole one by one, even if it was day and night, it would take one or two months, and only after there was no water in the hole could quarry. The highest in the old pit is only about one meter, the inkstone worker has to risk the risk of collapse, bend over to enter, take the west hole in the pit as an example, it can only accommodate four people, two people dig and must bend over or lean up, and the other two people holding the lamp must lie down, even if the height of the sitting is not there. Because the old pit stone is precious, once became a tribute to the imperial court, so in ancient times the old pit has been under the jurisdiction of the government, there are special guards, the masonry enters the hole to quarry, must be naked, one is because the hole is damp, the other is to avoid the masonry stealing the end stone. In order to protect inkstone resources, pits have been closed and forbidden for mining many times in history, and the pit closure time is not fixed, and re-mining is not timely.

Zhang Zhidong was particularly fond of the Duan inkstone in Guangdong, and he ordered his staff He Pengzhou to be responsible for organizing the excavation of the pit and the construction of the inkstone. At that time, the excavation work was very arduous, digging holes under the cliffs by the river, and every time a good end stone was quarried, He Pengzhou ordered the craftsmen to make a good inkstone and give it to Zhang Zhidong. On this day, He Pengzhou came to inspect the pit, and at this time someone came to report that he had dug up three good inkstones. He Pengzhou didn't say a word when he heard Xun, so he went straight to the old pit, only to see that the pattern on the end stone was gorgeous, such a natural inkstone could not be found, and it was three pieces at once, which was even more rare.

He Pengzhou hired Master Guo Lanxiang, the descendant of the Guo family, a famous inkstone maker in Huanggang, Zhaoqing at that time, to build a tripartite inkstone based on the characteristics of these three end stones. Each side has a pattern image that resembles an animal, and one side looks like a monkey, which is the monkey king inkstone; One side is a crane; There is also a side like a lying cow. The three-party inkstone is the creation of nature, and after He Pengzhou got it, he was so happy that he danced. Out of love for these three-party inkstones, He Pengzhou did not hand them over to Zhang Zhidong as usual, but secretly hid them himself. Because these three inkstones were secretly hidden, the world had no chance to see them.

In the days that followed, Mr. Shang Chengzuo was very lucky to buy the Qianjin Monkey King Yan and the Yanhua Four Elephant Yan, but the last Qingniu Yan was never found.

According to rumors, the stone color of Yanhua Sixiang inkstone is blue-gray and blue, the stone is delicate and delicate, and the inkstone is rectangular. The upper left corner of the forehead of the inkstone is engraved with the name of this inkstone, "Yanhua Sixiang Inkstone". According to the natural "yellow dragon pattern" on the forehead of the inkstone, the craftsman of the inkstone is skillfully carved into a pine tree, with oblique branches and abundant pine needles.

The head of the crane carved next to it and the natural fish brain jelly in the inkstone hall are skillfully combined into a vivid white crane, the white crane flutters its wings and is pecking at the pine leaves, the shape is realistic.

Turn it over and take a look, you will be surprised to find that this is a double-sided inkstone, there are inkstones on both sides, the craftsman digs a circular inkstone on the back, and the forehead and lip of the inkstone are shallow carved with branches and vines, which means "melons are endless, descendants for generations";

The side of the inkstone is engraved with a sixteen-character inscription with Lishu: "The white crane pecks the pine, and the green cow sleeps on the grass; The melons are stacked and fruitful, and the kiwis hold peaches".

These sixteen-character inscriptions complement the historical record.

The macaque holding the peach refers to the golden monkey king inkstone, the white crane pecking pine and the melon diehui refer to the four elephant inkstones of this rock flower, and the "green cow sleeping grass" refers to the green cow inkstone, and the three different landscapes of the inkstone, so it can become a national treasure among the national treasures, if it is a general color, no one will come.

And the second inkstone is also an ancient stone inkstone, and this inkstone, in Chu Yunqiu's eyes, is no worse than any inkstone, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, Cai Jing's blue water ribbed inkstone, the water on the entire inkstone is rippled, as if there is a blue tan, clear water floating.

It is rumored that the ink that is ground with a blue water ribbed inkstone will give people a sense of movement, as if it is flowing, which is very magical.

It's a pity that this blue water ribbed inkstone is not famous, and the fetish is obscure, and no one recognizes his value at all.

And some collectors only regard it as an antique collection, and no one understands its value at all.

Chu Yunqiu clenched his fists tightly, and the temptation was a little bigger.

The third box is a beeswax ancient Buddha in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, sitting cross-legged, the left hand on the chest, the right hand holding a string of prayer beads, on the chest is a "swastika" symbol, under the ancient Buddha, is a lotus flower with eight petals, very beautiful.

The Buddha is dressed in a robe and has a solemn expression.

It is not the Buddha himself that is amazed, but the robe and lotus base.
