"Toot! Honk! Honk! ”

Li Le was attracted by the sound of the whistle and turned around, only to see a truck-mounted crane slowly driving in his direction!

When he got closer, he saw the advertisement on the side of the car, and Li Le realized that the stone he ordered was sent over!

Under the busyness of several staff, stones were also neatly placed in the yard. The stone is not very large, only about half a meter high, and the shape is uneven, but both sides are relatively flat and smooth, which is perfect for practicing knife skills.

Attracted by the movement outside, Xu Changqing, Liu Yunyao and others also walked out, and when they saw the stones piled up in the yard, Liu Yunyao couldn't help but say, "Are you going to use this to practice carving?" ”

"That's right! That's it, it's cheap! Look at this side, how easy it is to go under the knife......"

Hearing his first words, everyone was suddenly speechless. Liu Yunyao simply ignored the back and turned around and entered the house directly. And Xu Changqing and the others also left silently one after another.

After Li Le finished talking about a lot, he found that there was no one around him, leaving him alone to sigh to the sky, and then slipped into the house.

Carrying the stone and the ancient jade upstairs, he wanted to go to Liu Yunyao, but he had a closed door, and he had no choice but to return to his room.

Taking the stone out of the bag, Li Le was also slightly surprised. It is actually a piece of pine stone that is nearly half the size of a basin, and it is the color of the high-grade willow green, although it is not as good as the lone poinsin maple, and the treasure is waxy white, but it is also good.

Among them, there is also a piece of nanmu, which is used for matching boxes.

Li Le gently knocked on the stone again, and there was a sound like hitting metal, which could be regarded as a medium grade on the stone. If it is the sound of solid wood, it is of the upper grade, and the sound of the tile is of the lower grade.

He originally thought that what people gave him was just a material similar to the gray-white low-grade Duan inkstone to practice his hands, but he really didn't expect that his shot was such a stone.

Aside from the meticulousness, the production of inkstones mainly includes quarrying, maintenance materials, purification, carving, polishing, and boxing.

Because the raw materials are available, the quarrying link is directly omitted.

However, the dimensional material is a test of eyesight, and you must know how to look at stones. First, there are flaws, cracks, or rotten stones, stone skins, and roofs and bottoms...... All of them are removed, leaving "stone meat". Then decide how to make it according to the quality and texture of the stone meat.

Next, it is designed according to the structure of the stone, which should be lost because of the composition of the stone, because of the material, and make full use of the natural stone skin. Then it is to remove the purification, to the coarse and refined.

As for the carving, needless to say, it is mainly the use of deep knife (high deep carving) and shallow knife (low relief) carving, as well as fine carving, line carving, and appropriate through carving (hollowing) to carry out the icing on the cake carving. It is necessary not only to preserve the simple beauty of the stone, but also to turn the flaws on the stone into green leaves that accompany this red flower with the art of carving.

Generally, the best flesh of the stone is used as the place for grinding the ink, and the carving is only carried out around it.

The box is based on the shape of the inkstone, which plays the role of dustproof and protective inkstone, and at the same time, the inkstone itself is also a work of art and decoration. Generally, the best wood is selected, and the precious ones are red sandalwood, sour branches, nanmu and other hardwoods.

Finally, the polishing is first coarsely ground with oil stone and fine river sand, the purpose is to grind away the chisel and knife path, and then use talc and fine sandpaper, preferably a thousand eyes of water sandpaper to grind and slide repeatedly to make the inkstone feel smooth. Finally, there is the "ink-soaked stone", which is faded after a day or two. The quality of inkstone polishing directly affects the quality of inkstone and the effect of use.

In fact, in addition to these, there are many meticulous processes, such as enclosure, carving, ink removal, waxing, waxing, etc., about 30 more.

These tasks can't be completed for a while, and they all need to be done in a time!

Originally, Li Le didn't have any carving tools in his hands, so he really didn't dare to take this job, but at this moment, there was a knife condensed by the spirit of carving, which was easier to use than any carving knife, and it also solved his biggest problem.

After looking at the stone for a while, Li Le looked at the jade wall on the side, this thing needs to be cleaned first. First made a basin of warm water, Li Le put it in, and then continued to observe the stones.

After dinner, Li Le also found a soft brush, and at this moment the jade wall has been soaked in warm water for a long time. Then Li Le gently cleaned it with a brush, and as the dirt and rust mixed between the grooves of the carving were removed, the shape of the whole jade wall was also somewhat clear.

But a strange color appeared on Li Le's face, and the brushing action on his hands couldn't help but become lighter and more detailed.

When the entire jade wall was completely cleaned, Li Le hurriedly took it under the lamp to observe.

The more he looked at it, the more doubts on his face became stronger, because the carved pattern on this piece of jade was divided into three parts, each part was engraved with a claw pattern, not the dragon pattern that he had vaguely judged, and there were connecting holes at the edges, which was also the reason why Li Le was puzzled.

Because this kind of drilling with connecting holes generally appears on the composite wall. It first appeared in the Stone Age, and later appeared in the Shang, Zhou, and Warring States periods. And the more famous one is the Qi family jade.

This kind of composite wall is named after the number of pieces combined, and each piece can be used as a separate wall, so it is also divided into two Huang, three Huang and multiple Huang combination walls.

However, the carving on this is not the hand of the Qi family, but it looks like it was from the Warring States period. Because most of the prehistoric jade bibs are plain and without lines, a few good jade bibs are engraved with the symbol of "family emblem" on the surface and side, and there are no similar symbols in the jade bibs of Qijia culture and other types of cultures.

The ornamentation of jade varies according to the era. Shang Dynasty jade is mostly string patterned
