Chapter 326: Priceless Things
Lao Wu is indeed stunned!
He took a random piece out and looked at it, it was ordinary at first glance, then he felt that it was inappropriate, and then he looked at it carefully, and then he wore reading glasses, took a magnifying glass and looked at it again, and immediately gasped for breath with excitement, and he couldn't speak for a long time! ”
Because this was made by Zhou Xuan himself, naturally there was no expert appraisal of birth paper, but Lao Wu looked at the jade carving in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to take out his heart and beat wildly!
Fu Ying looked at Old Wu Wu a little strange, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Wu, what's wrong?" ”
Lao Wu suddenly woke up, immediately stood on the stage, put on a headset, and said, "Yingying, let me talk about it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Fu Ying was a little trembling with excitement when she saw Lao Wu talking, so she nodded and retreated to the side and let Lao Wu talk.
Lao Wu carefully held the jade carving with both hands, put the jade carving at the camera, and instructed the clerk to turn off the lights in the hall. ”。
The people in the hall were a little curious, to be honest, the miniature carvings had naturally seen and heard of them. But there are few works because the technical difficulty is too great.
Miniature carving is one of the most delicate and tiny handicrafts in traditional Chinese arts and crafts. It is carved on ivory pieces the size of rice grains, bamboo slices, or several millimeters of hair, and it is necessary to use a magnifying glass or microscope to see the engraved contents, so it has been called a "stunt" by successive dynasties.
I have heard of those types, but I have never heard of jadeite can also carve micro-carving, because jadeite is jadeite with a hardness of up to seven degrees on the Mohs scale, different from ivory, bamboo, root wood and other objects with low hardness, micro-carving pays special attention to the selection of materials, and its material requires absolute purity, and there is no room for half a bit of sand lattice and half a crack, because in ordinary micro-carving, half a sand point may engrave more than one Hanyu. Secondly, the miniature carving knife is also a special thin knife, which must be both sharp and sharp. Third, it is necessary to have a particularly proficient calligraphy and Chinese painting skills, and only when carving can you carry out "carving". Fourth, you should hold your breath and concentrate on the scene, concentrate your thoughts, and do it in one go. Fifth, the knife should be steady, accurate and ruthless, only in this way can the calligraphy and knife technique achieve perfect unity.
These conditions are indispensable, as a miniature carving master, not only carving technology to reach the peak of the desperate situation, but also calligraphy and painting skills to reach the master's realm, otherwise you carve to that realm, its works are like a three-year-old child graffiti, if it is a separate painting technique calligraphy to reach the master realm, but there is no carving technology, that is also not good!
But among such a variety of miniature carvings, no one has ever seen a miniature carving made of jadeite!
Lao Wu said in a trembling voice: "Immortals." … Please note that I don't need to introduce the miniature carving, everyone has heard of it, but I still want to introduce it more, our Chinese miniature carving history has a long history, as far as the oracle bone inscription in the Yin Shang period, there are miniature carvings. The seal of the Warring States period is as small as tired, but the seal is divided into vermilion and white, and the well-known Wang Shuyuan's is also a classic work of miniature carving art in Chinese history.
"Another such as the seal carved side paragraph, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, a lot of literati in the seal of this square inch, with an iron pen inscription to paint, sustenance of interest, self-entertainment, and to Shoushan stone become the seal material, Shoushan stone miniature carving art began to appear, in the early Qing Dynasty Yang Wei, Zhou Bin were in the Shoushan stone carvings of the pattern of the remote carved Xiaoyu, I Ximen Boyi school, carving master Lin Qingqing also often carved in the grass of the works, stone seams with very fine strokes engraved their names and production dates, later more people on the four sides of the seal pillar, With very fine words, the poems of the ancients are carved as side paragraphs. ”
"Until the twentieth century, magnifying glass and other advanced scientific instruments into the field of miniature carving, micro-carving is more prosperous, the works in the universe painting scenery is getting smaller and smaller, the content is more and more, but the types of micro-carving, bamboo ivory wood roots are still the majority, and later there is Shoushan stone as a new kind of miniature carving, but Shoushan stone is also limited to seals and ancient poems, etc., as for the micro-carving of jadeite, my old Wu has decades of seniority in the antique industry, but I have not seen one, which is of course also because of the limitation of jadeite material, the texture is hard and brittleIf you do miniature carving, its difficulty is like a child, climbing Mount Everest, and so far, this difficulty has still not been broken, but now, I want to introduce and enjoy to you is a jade miniature carving! ”。
Lao Wu gasped, his hands trembled slightly, and the scene on the projection was also a little shaky, and he finally calmed down, and said: "Everyone, please see, the original jadeite in my hand is a cylindrical long body shape, about four centimeters long, about two centimeters in circumference, and the overall shape is like a four-centimeter-long pencil, but you can't imagine that there is something carved on this pencil-sized jadeite, you pay attention to it!" ”
In the bright and huge projection image, everyone saw a picture scroll, from top to bottom, horizontal and narrow, vertical and long, the top was in the mist of the sparse forest, covering several huts, grass bridges, flowing water, old trees, flat boats, two porters driving five donkeys carrying charcoal, walking towards the city, a willow forest, the branches just flashed tender green, a sedan chair on the road, and a woman sitting inside. The top of the sedan chair is decorated with willow miscellaneous flowers, and the sedan chair is followed by the horseback rider and the burden-bearer, returning from the suburbs of Beijing to sweep the tomb.
A little further down, densely populated, grain ships gathered, people have resting in the teahouse, some are watching fortune telling, some are eating in the rice shop, some are called Wangjia paper horse shop, it is to sweep the tomb and sell sacrifices, the boats in the river come and go, end to end, or the slender man pulls, or the boatman shakes the chun, some are full of goods, go upstream, some dock and moor, are nervously unloading. Across the river was a large wooden arch bridge, and a large boat was about to cross the bridge, and the boatmen held it up with bamboo poles, hooked it with long poles, held it with hemp ropes, and a few others were busy lowering the masts so that the boats could pass. The people of the neighboring boat were also pointing and shouting loudly, and both inside and outside the boat were busy talking about the ship crossing the bridge
At the bottom, there is a tall city tower, and the houses on both sides are lined up one after another, with tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public hemp, and so on. There are silk and satin, jewelry and spices, dry fire paper horses, etc., there are medical clinics, cart repairs, fortune telling, face trimming and plastic surgery, all walks of life, everything, pedestrians in the market, squatting shoulder to shoulder, endless streams, businessmen doing business, taxi stretching to see the street scene, officials riding horses, hawkers, family members in sedan chairs, monks with feet, tourists from other towns who ask for directions, children of wealthy families who listen to stories in the streets and alleys, children of wealthy families who drink in restaurants in the streets and alleys, *.}, ~*fastest} There are disabled elderly people begging on the edge of the city, men, women and children, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything. Transportation vehicles: there are sedan chairs, ostriches, ox carriages, rickshaws, peaceful cars, flat cars, all kinds of things. Colors and shapes are displayed in front of people's eyes.
From the picture seen on the projection, some people have already exclaimed: "Qingming Xiaohe map!" ”,
Lao Wu nodded, gasped for breath, and then said: "Yes, it is the Qingming Riverside Picture, most of you are peers, even if you are not peers, everyone also knows the Qingming Riverside Picture, which is one of the top ten famous paintings in our country, and it is the surviving masterpiece of the Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan, the volume is 24 wide. 8 centimeters, a little 287 meters long, a total of more than 550 people of various colors are painted, 50 or 60 cattle such as cows, horses, mules, donkeys, etc., more than 20 cars and sedans, and more than 20 large and small ships. That is, this is a national treasure-level picture, so many contents, but all depicted on this small pencil-sized jadeite, regardless of the insurmountable difficulty of carving on the jadeite, just say miniature carving, such a grand picture miniature on this little area, is the most famous master today, that is also not possible! ”
Of course, the master that Lao Wu said, that is only what he knows, as a miniature carving, this is a unique craft in China, is the quintessence of the country, if there is a top master that Lao Wu does not know, then there is really not, the most famous, he knows, but this jade miniature carving is obviously not any of them, because they can't do it.
One is that the technology of miniature carving is not so slight, and the second is the painting skills on this work, so to speak, only Zhang Zeduan can be resurrected, and he can paint the same artistic conception as the original picture, then he must have the same skills as the original author to paint, besides, even if the painting skills are so good, but throughout the ages, no painter will be exactly the same, just like the fingerprints on the hand, and can never find the same two people.
This painting, not a copy, not a photograph, but a new miniature painted on the jadeite, which is equivalent to a new painting, with this painting skills, with such a miniature carving skills, which master in this world can do it? .
Lao Wu no longer explained, everything was silent, but the little jade slowly rotated under the camera, so that the audience in the hall could see it as clearly as possible.
The green jadeite has a very good texture and full of water, but people no longer pay attention to the texture of the jadeite, and all their attention is cast on the observation of the pictures, and they are also immersed in the magnificent and huge painting!
Because this is miniature carving, not the original painting, but from this painting technique, the miniature carving skills, no matter from which aspect, including the texture of the jadeite, have correspondingly reached the peak!
It can be said that this has also reached the level of a national treasure!
Lao Wu stopped the rotation of his hand, carefully put the jade on the table, and pointed it at the camera, so that the picture was fixed, and then said: "Everyone saw it?" To be honest, I can't figure it out, what tools there are, what kind of technology is it, to carve such a grand scene, so many characters on such a small thing, not to mention jadeite, it is very easy to carve ivory wood roots and bamboo wood, to carve a complete picture of the Qingming Riverside map, that is also impossible, such an item, I can't estimate its true value, but it really appeared in front of me and everyone, this is also a friend for sale, I can't say how much to shoot, everyone said for themselves, If you are willing to bid the starting bid, make your own bid! ”
Lao Wu said, of course, it's not that he doesn't want to bid, but he really doesn't know how to bid, because this is a national treasure in his mind, a priceless treasure!
The hall fell silent, no one spoke, just staring at the image on the projection.
At Yang Zhongjun's table, Zhou Xuan also sneaked over, he didn't know how much the fourteen things made by Dandan could be sold, and he just mixed with Yang Zhongjun to see the excitement.
Fu Yuanshan smiled at Zhang Xian, and then said to Zhou Xuan: "Brother, you have a lot of things in this shop, this thing is too surprising!" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled, but he thought in his heart, what is unexpected, you can have as many as you want, and you have to wholesale in batches, but of course you can't say this, everything is the same, scarcity is expensive, if it is the same as white flour rice, it is also the price of cabbage.
Qin Ziyan, Wang Ziqing, and Lan Yin were even more eye-catching, "tsk" was amazed, the jade pieces just now were all photographed for more than 10 million yuan, which also made them speechless, with their net worth, they were enough to buy one or two pieces, but didn't they eat?
Now I am amazed that this miniature sculpture is indeed incredible, how can so many pictures be carved on such a small area? Of course, they don't understand that the same painting skills are just as incredible!
Lao Wu stared at the people in the hall, still a little nervous, the people in the hall were almost shocked, I don't know how much the first one will offer? Will there be a competition?
And Fu Ying on the side didn't think so, thinking about it from this, she estimated that this was Zhou Xuan's doing, except for his ice qi with this ability, who else could there be? It's just that Fu Ying is very strange, Zhou Xuan didn't say that he had such an ability before, and he hadn't seen him do anything like that before, if you want to figure it out, you have to wait until you have time to ask him, and it must be inconvenient now.
Fu Yuanshan and Secretary Zhang are both laymen, they don't understand antiques, they don't understand antiques, but the difficulty of miniature such a grand picture on the small volume of a pencil is also understood, and curiosity naturally arises. How many will come out? A million, or ten million? It's all guessing in my heart.
After a few minutes of silence, someone finally held up a sign.
Lao Wu knows this person, is a more powerful boss in the antique industry, just after he said this miniature carving, the hall is full of mobile phone calls and the sound of calls, it seems that they are pulling their own relationship to pull money and shares, the magic of this jade microcarve has been revealed, if you take it, it will definitely make money, but how much money can be made, everyone is a visit h>
