This bloodstone seal is the most common soft ground in Changhua chicken blood, and it is a general texture, gray, with chicken blood on one side, the color is slightly lighter, and it is not very concentrated, showing a dotted and flaky distribution, and on the other side, it is a bloodless gray ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This kind of bloodstone, buying such a seal raw material, in today's market, the market is basically not more than a thousand, and those high-quality and even the best bloodstone is incomparable.

However, this chapter material is a bit distinctive, although the color of the bloody side is light, the distribution of dots and flakes is a bit interesting, and the gray ground is not the kind of ugly tile gray, but a faint gray, vaguely there is a feeling of misty landscape.

Tang Yi could naturally understand this, but he could see it more carefully, because he was looking at the inscription and the lettering with one side.

The seal of this seal is a three-character seal script "between heaven and earth", because this seal is relatively flat, which is engraved vertically.

Moreover, the side of this seal without chicken blood is engraved with several columns of small characters:

Yunshan Cangcang, the river is turbulent, the wind of Mr., the mountain is high and the water is long.

There is also a payment: Ding Haiqiu, Lao Cang.

This "between heaven and earth" of the seal, the knife is extraordinary, the knife and the knife are well combined, the fierce and neat of the knife, the introverted and simple of the knife, as if integrated into one, the meaning of calligraphy and the meaning of gold and stone are all expressed heartily.

What's more, there are a few missing strokes in this seal script, which seem to be mistakes with a knife and seem to have been damaged, but there is a kind of mutilated beauty. In fact, this is a kind of mutilated knife technique, in order to enhance the ancient meaning. Because ancient seals are often mutilated for various reasons, this mutilated knife method is precisely to add percussion or chiseling techniques to the punching knife and cutting knife.

Very personal.

And a few columns of small characters on one side of the seal, but also with a knife on behalf of the pen, jade bone with Yan, the font is in Kaizhong, there is a kind of clumsy hidden in the majesty.

Such a clever knife technique is really not easy to see.

Tang Yi sighed secretly in his heart, it was really the handwriting of "Lao Cang"! I didn't expect to come across it at a small night market stall.

Gao Taiming's copper incense burner did not negotiate a price, mainly because the stall owner felt that this thing was well done and could pay a high price. At this time, Tang Yi took the seal and asked, "How to sell this seal?" ”

"This is an old seal, authentic bloodstone, and it's not cheap." The stall owner has a word in his words. It means that your friend is so picky, I'm afraid you are also an expensive master.

Tang Yi smiled, "It's not too old to be old, let's make a price!" ”

"Three thousand!" After saying that, the young man took out a cigarette from his pocket and sizzled two puffs.

"This is a piece of soft and gray material, and there is not much blood, so it can't be so much money, right?" Tang Yi also lit a cigarette.

"You see, this is our Changhua chicken blood in Zhejiang Province, the land is average, but the old pit stone. Three thousand is not expensive, if it is a big red robe, Liu Guanzhang, you can't buy a small piece for 30,000! "The guy is quite knowledgeable.

"Da Hong Pao" and "Liu Guanzhang" are famous boutique varieties in bloodstone. All red, and delicate and psychic, called "big red robe". The black and white ground, plus chicken blood, the three colors are evenly out of one stone, called "Liu Guanzhang". Liu Bei has a white face, Guan Yu has a red face, and Zhang Fei has a black face, so he came.

"It's cheaper, you said it, the material is average." Tang Yi continued.

"What's the money for the material? I said, this is Fang Laoyin, this is something that my grandfather received a few years ago, the Qing Dynasty! The stall owner shook again and again, "Your friend loves to bargain, you have to talk again, you can't be cheap, it's just three thousand, if you don't buy it today, I won't sell it yet!" Find a few teachers tomorrow! ”

At this time, two people came over again.

Tang Yi held the seal in his hand, "Okay, okay, then let's do it!" ”

"That's right! When you see something you like, you have to buy it quickly, and you regret it when you look back. When the stall owner heard this, he was happy.

Tang Yi ordered the money to the young man, and put the seal in his pocket.

"You young man, you're quite fond of holding on to a big man." Wen Jia smiled.

"What I said is reasonable, how can I trust it?" When the young man saw Wen Jia say with a smile, he knew that there was no malice, "If you don't believe it, ask your friend, if it weren't for the old pit bloodstone and the old seal, would he be able to buy it?" ”

Tang Yi nodded, "That's right. You're busy, gone! ”

The three of them left the night market, walked on the path, and walked towards the main road.

Gao Taiming asked for the seal and looked at it, "Old Cang? Which master is this? He knew that Tang Yi would not have bought such a relatively ordinary stone if it weren't for a famous thing. However, he hadn't heard of this old man either. Not surprisingly, some famous nicknames are sometimes not commonly used.

"Changhua bloodstone is produced in Zhejiang Province, and this famous family is also from Zhejiang Province, Lao Cang, Wu Changshuo! Wu Changshuo has a lot of aliases, Lao Cang is more commonly used, and he can actually pick up leaks! Tang Yi responded.

"Huh?" Gao Taiming was stunned, "I've only heard of Cangshuo, Lao Xuan, and I really haven't heard of Lao Cang." ”

Wu Changshuo was a famous artist from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and as mentioned before, he was very famous. He does have a lot of aliases, in addition to the old Cang, Cangshuo, and Lao Yi that Tang Yi and Gao Taiming said, there are also bitter iron, big deafness, Shi Venerable, and so on.

Wu Changshuo has made remarkable achievements in calligraphy, painting, and engraving, and is one of the four masters of the Shanghai School in the late Qing Dynasty, and is a banner figure. He has also mentored many people, such as Qi Baishi and Pan Tianshou.

However, his highest achievement, Tang Yi believes, is still in seal carving. He was the first president of the Xiling Seal Society, known as "the first person in the stone drum seal book".

Ding Hainian, according to Wu Changshuo's year of birth and death, should be 1887, when he was in his forties, just in the prime of life, and his style was already relatively mature. However, looking at this lettering and payment, it seems to be a gift, and this person should be more respected, otherwise he will not come to this sentence "Mr. wind, the mountain is high and the water is long".

But if you send such a person, the stone of this seal is a little worse. It is also possible that this gentleman brought the seal stone and asked Wu Changshuo to carve the seal.

Although the quality of this seal is average, it is an authentic bloodstone, and it is very distinctive, making a "heaven and earth" idle seal, but it also fits.

Tang Yi generally sorted out this idea. And even if this is not the case, the year is right, the knife is right, and there is Lao Cang's money, there must be no doubt that it is Wu Changshuo's handwriting.

Wen Jia looked at Gao Taiming, "Look at you, it's not successful to buy a high imitation incense burner to get the price, look at him, he picked up another leak!" ”

Gao Taiming pretended to be helpless, "It seems that I asked to visit the night market, and it seems that I went to see this stall, and co-authored it to make a wedding dress for him!" ”
