There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.

In one afternoon, Li Mobai finished visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Yuhuatai, and his heart was full of thoughts, thinking of the efforts of generation after generation to get to where he is today, but today is not beautiful, but who can change it.

In Yuhuatai, Li Mobai did not forget to choose various colors of Yuhua Stone, after all, he only felt when he bought Yuhua Stone in Yuhuatai. Yuhua stone is a natural agate stone, also known as aragonite, ornamental stone, lucky stone. Yuhua Stone with the crystal jade texture beauty, Zhong Lingyuxiu's shape beauty, magnificent and brilliant color beauty, unpredictable texture beauty, incredible image beauty and charm of the natural artistic conception of the beauty, has established its unique status and value in the ornamental stone, known as "God-given national treasure", "Queen of the stone", and the key to playing with the rain flower stone is also in this "six beauties".

Since ancient times, there have been many literati and writers who like rain flower stones, which was first seen in Confucius's "Book of Shang. Yu Gong": "Yangzhou Gong Yaokun", Yao Kun is the rain flower stone, the Song Dynasty Su Shi Wang Anshi and others are all lovers of the rain stone, Premier Zhou Enlai also collected the rain flower stone that year, and the examples of celebrities collecting the rain flower stone are countless, too many to mention.

Although the rain flower stone was selected in Yuhuatai, the current rain flower stone is not produced in Yuhuatai, and the current Yuhua platform is a famous tourist attraction, and the rain flower stone has long been no longer produced. At present, Yuhua stone is mainly produced in the area of [***] and Yizheng, and its quality is especially good in [***] beams, Donggou, 800 and other places; Jianye Yuhuashi Village is the main production and processing area of Yuhuashi, and the exchange of Yuhuashi is concentrated in Yuhuatai Yuhuashi Museum, Confucius Temple Cultural Market, Zhongshan Mausoleum Cultural Market, Qingliangshan Strange Stone Market, etc.

The price of rain flower stone has gradually risen in recent years, and now if you want to find a satisfactory rain flower stone, it not only takes time, but also needs sufficient financial support, and the top superb rain flower stone may not be able to buy tens of millions, even if the ordinary rain flower stone is hundreds of yuan. It is easy to enjoy the rain flower stone to get a regular product, it is difficult to get a treasure, to get a boutique, a masterpiece, it is even more difficult, people who like the rain flower stone know that "a ton of yellow sand four two stones, a hundred tons of stone in no treasure", which shows the cost and difficulty of enjoying the rain flower stone.

Li Mobai didn't spend too much time looking for it, but randomly picked out some good boutiques and brought them back to coax Yu Yu Yu Yu

When he returned to He Zhiqiu's house, he found that He Zhiqiu hadn't rested yet, Li Mobai said hello and went to wash up, and when he came out, he found that Old Man He was still waiting, "Old He, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"It's okay, did you have fun today? Did you find anything good? ”

Li Mobai saw that Old Man He finally couldn't help but lead the topic to antiques, so he said unhurriedly, "I wanted to find some treasures in the afternoon, but I found nothing." ”

"Yuhua Stone, do you know where Yuhua Stone came from?" He Zhiqiu knew that Li Mobai deliberately diverted the topic, so he was not in a hurry.

"Old He, this bit of common sense can't bother me." Li Mobai smiled and said, then opened the chatterbox, "Legend has it, when Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, there was a monk named Yunguang in Shizigang, which is now Yuhuatai set up an altar to preach the scriptures, moved the heavens, for the rain flowers, after landing it became a colorful rain flower stone, so in order to thank the heavens for their favor, so Jianye had Yuhuatai and Yuhua Stone, and there was also the idiom 'the sky is falling', I am not wrong." ”

"Of course, this can't help you, but do you know how to appreciate the rain flower stone?" He Zhiqiu said with a smile.

Li Mobai heard that the old man wanted to test me, and when I was asked, I took the opportunity to see Qi Baishi's famous painting, smiled and said, "Yuhua Stone's appreciation, the pursuit of the" artistic conception ", the so-called scenery outside the scene, the painting outside the picture, the sound outside the strings, regardless of poetry, painting, charm, rhyme are contained in the artistic conception, generally from the top down to the top is divided into masterpieces, treasures, boutiques, good products, etc., and the most important standard for grading is the unique texture of Yuhua stone, the beauty of form, the beauty of color, the beauty of texture, The 'six beauties' such as image beauty and artistic conception beauty.

The method of appreciating the place is different from person to person, and it is amorphous, but it is usually as the folk proverb says, "rain flower stone, buried in the sand, rain does not sprinkle, flowers do not bloom", need to rely on water to infiltrate, and must be replaced once a day, this is Su Dongpo created, from the "double stone" of the "water to bury the basin so idiot" sentence, this is also the first water to bury the pot in the eight methods of Yuhua stone, as for the other to welcome the light and shadow, fold the admiration and pray for the year, sleep with the stone, the stone with the scene, the study of the score, this is the need to reach a certain level of appreciation. ”

"Hey, you kid knows a lot, but it's just a drop in the book bag, you have to get started in person to really taste the taste, look at the stone you chose, it's really unsightly!" He Zhiqiu saw what Li Mobai said, so he hit the Yuhua Stone that Li Mobai chose.

"These rain stones, I was only going to give them as a gift, I don't have time to play with them." Li Mobai paused, "I originally wanted to ask He Lao to appraise a painting tomorrow, but time is limited, I have to go to Yangzhou tomorrow to see Bai Lao, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with your treasure appreciation conference." ”

"This treasure appreciation conference was held in Jianye, where do you want to go? Whose ink treasure did you get again? He Zhiqiu smiled and deliberately weakened the painting.

"Today I was lucky to meet Master Qi Baishi's "Ten Miles of Frog Sound Out of the Mountain Spring". Li Mobai pretended to be cloudy and said lightly.

"Then you kid won't show me it?"

"Old He, you see that it's getting late now, and the light is not good, why don't you wait for me to come back from Yangzhou to find a good day with sunny weather, and then invite Master Qi Baishi's ink treasure?" Li Mobai slowly sold Guan Zidao.

"Forget it, I know what your kid has in mind, I'll call Lao Bai tomorrow, right?" He Zhiqiu knew that if he didn't promise Li Mobai a little benefit, Li Mobai really wouldn't take out that painting to show himself.

"Okay, then please ask Elder He to introduce Mo Bai on the phone, so that Mo Bai can also get to know Bai Lao first, so as not to make a sudden strange visit too abrupt." Li Mobai said in his heart If you have a ghost with Bai Xianyong, why should I let you call.

"Cheng, it's all up to you, don't take out the painting yet!" After He Zhiqiu finished speaking, he sighed and muttered, "Hey, Lao Li, Lao Li, you see what kind of grandson you have taught, you don't know how to respect the old man at all, and you actually bargained with me!" ”

Li Mobai was not afraid that He Zhiqiu really had an opinion of him, and after giving Xiao Bai a look, Xiao Bai took out the peerless painting and handed it to He Zhiqiu.

He Zhiqiu put on his glasses and respectfully unfolded the painting, looked at it for a while, and then said excitedly, "Sure enough, it's a frog, Mo Bai, your attainments in calligraphy and painting appraisal have surpassed your old man." ”

After breakfast the next day, He Zhiqiu did not break his promise and pretended to be confused, but really called Bai Xianyong, but the old man still played a trick, just said that he would introduce Bai Xianyong to an outstanding young man, but he did not say what Li Mobai was going to do, but Li Mobai did not expect He Zhiqiu to settle everything for him, if the old man in the family knew that he was opportunistic, he would definitely be unhappy, and if he got Bai Xianyong by himself, he would not have to worry about no one carving himself in the future.

talked to Bai Lao on the phone and made an appointment to visit him in person the next day, but Bai Xianyong readily agreed, which was enough to save face.

Thinking that there was another day, Li Mobai couldn't accompany He Zhiqiu in the house, so he thought about going to the Confucius Temple to pick out two gifts for Bai Xianyong that he could take, but He Zhiqiu reminded Li Mobai that Bai Xianyong liked Yuhuashi very much.

"Mo Bai, it just so happens that [***] is holding the Yuhua Stone Festival, there is an auction on Hengliang Yuhua Stone Cultural Street today, you can go and find a treasure, make sure that the white old monster likes it."

Li Mobai was overjoyed when he heard this, he was afraid that you had no hobbies, as long as you had hobbies, he would always be able to settle with you, and said hello to He Zhiqiu, and went to the [***] Yuhua Stone Festival under the leadership of He Ping.

As soon as he walked out of He's house, he found Qin Sheng waiting outside, so Li Mobai greeted with a happy smile, "Boss Qin, you also come to visit Old He!" ”

Qin Sheng's face changed when he saw Li Mobai, and then he returned to normal again, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, where are you going, I came to visit you on a special trip!" ”

"Oh, Boss Qin made a special trip to visit, I'm flattered," Li Mobai said in his heart, you are obviously blocking me at the door, and what you said is quite nice, "But I'm just going to go [***], or make an appointment with Boss Qin again, I'll invite Boss Qin to drink." ”

Qin Sheng's face turned red when he heard the drink, "Haha, Mr. Li is going to [***], is he going to buy Yuhua Stone?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to buy a few treasures for Old Man He to enjoy." Li Mobai said with a smile, looking very familiar with Qin Sheng.

"That's right, I just want to buy a few, if Mr. Li doesn't mind, let's go together." Qin Sheng smiled and said, but he was thinking in his heart, what a big breath, I still have to buy a few, I won't let you buy one, see what you do to please Old Man He.

"Okay, with Boss Qin leading the way, it couldn't be more convenient." Li Mobai saw that Qin Sheng had bad intentions, and he was thinking about how to make you bleed again, but you actually sent it to the door yourself.

A group of two cars soon arrived at [***] Hengliang Yuhuashi Cultural Street, but the auction did not start until the afternoon, Li Mobai turned around casually, although this street has not been open for a long time, but because of its proximity to the production area, business is quite prosperous.

A bustling street, dazzlingly displayed all kinds of rain stones, some have been polished and carved into finished products, some are still rough stones, polished rain stones belong to the stereotyped, what price can be sold, it all depends on the seller's preference.

The unpolished and carved Yuhua stone needs to test the eyesight, and Li Mobai's goal is these unpolished and carved rough stones.
