Chapter 685: Shou Shan Tian Huangshi

"Uncle Gao is overrated!" In the face of Gao Yuyuan's praise, Lin Yu smiled slightly, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, he dealt with it decently, and his face was respectful and polite, but there was a sense of arrogance in his bones, and he fought against Gao Yuyuan in a separate way, and he didn't fall behind at all, I really don't know how young he is, why is he so generous?

This demeanor is very surprising to the people on the side, they glanced at each other, all of them showed a look of appreciation, they were so extraordinary at a young age, arrogant and humble together, and treated people without leakage, this innate temperament is really unlearnable, and it is worthy of being the first son of the capital who has attracted everyone's attention. ，/，/

Gao Yuyuan chuckled, obviously Lin Yu's respectfulness made him very happy. And the old chief's ability to mention himself also made him feel very bright, and said in a harmonious voice: "Xiaoyu is really too polite." Alas, your grandfather is in good health, and I haven't seen the old chief for almost half a year

"Uncle Gao is worried about my grandfather's health, but he just wants to fight back then, and he has not been less involved in improving my uncle's deeds before." Lin Yu said busily.

Gao Yuyuan patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, remember to come and sit at my house when you have time." ”

Lin Yu also said respectfully: "If you have the opportunity to go to Nanjin, you will definitely go to Uncle Gao's house to disturb you!" ”

After a few words of greeting, Gao Yuyuan also introduced the people around him to Lin Yu, who were basically the leaders of the Beijing-Tianjin Military Region, either army commanders, division commanders or chief of staff, and they were all very cordial and enthusiastic to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu greeted everyone one by one, his words were either humble or respectful or cordial or easy-going, this person had a natural leadership charm, and unconsciously, everyone's eyes were focused on him, as if he was unintentionally watching him perform like a fish in water

Chen Hualong watched with a smile and kindness on the side, although Lin Yu was somewhat deficient in the social interaction in front of many people, but he generally had the demeanor of a general in his speech and demeanor, which was not easy for his age.

Now that Gao Yuyuan has arrived, it also indicates that the birthday banquet is about to officially begin. However, before the birthday banquet, as usual, when the guests gave birthday gifts, everyone sent their own gifts and blessings to Chen Hualong.

Most of the gifts are not very precious, but they are also very rare, and there are ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, firearms, and bullet casings pasted and inlaid with various shapes, such as maps, airplanes, warships, etc., which are very distinctive, and it can be seen that everyone is very interested in these gifts.

"Uncle Chen, I have a friend who got a piece of Shoushantian Huangshi and said it was a good material for carving seals. I don't know much about this, so I'm going to borrow flowers to offer Buddha today. ”

waited until the other people's gifts were almost gone, and then Lin Yu took out a small red silk package from his pocket and presented it with both hands.

"Oh? Shou Yama Tian Huangshi? It's rare! Chen Hualong raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "How did your friend get it?" ”

Shoushan Stone is one of the traditional "Four Seal Stones" in China, mainly distributed in the northern suburbs of Fuzhou City, Lianjiang River, Luoyuan junction of the "Golden Triangle" area. Among them, Tiankeng stone is the most precious. Shou Shan Tian Huangshi has a warm and lovely texture, has the reputation of "the king of stones", is the most representative of the stone, the artistic value is very high, but also extremely precious, is the best material for sealing, carving. However, after thousands of years of mining, the precious Tianhuang stone has become more and more rare and extremely rare.

Chinese treasure - Shoushan stone, one of the traditional Chinese "four seal stones". It is distributed in the "Golden Triangle" area at the junction of Jin'an District and Lianjiang County and Luoyuan County in the northern suburbs of Fuzhou City. If the vein is trending, it can be divided into three series: Gaoshan, Qishan and Yueyang. Because the Shoushan mining area was mined early, the old "field pits, puddles, and mountain pits" refer to the ores mined at the bottom of the fields, water streams, and caves in this mining area. After 1,500 years of mining, there are more than 100 varieties of Shoushan stone. Shoushan stone has become one of the important bridges for cross-strait economic and trade exchanges and cultural exchanges.

Shoushan stone belongs to the rock subclass of the color stone category in gem and color stone science, and its species and stone names are very complex, and there are about 100 varieties. According to traditional customs, the general items of Shoushan stone can generally be divided into three categories: "field pit", "water hole" and "mountain pit".

Surrounding Shoushan Village is a trickle of water, and at the bottom of the paddy fields on both sides of Shoushan Creek that trickles around the village, there is a kind of "king of stones" Shoushan stone. Because it is produced at the bottom of the field and is yellow, it is called Tiankeng Stone or Tianhuang. Tianshi is classified by color, which can generally be divided into Tianhuang, Hongtian, Baitian, Gray Field, Black Field and Flower Field.

Tianhuang stone is the most common and most representative stone species in Tianshi. The common characteristics of Tianhuang are that the stone skin is mostly slightly transparent, the texture is exquisitely clear, and there are fine and clear radish lines, especially the golden yellow and orange peel yellow are the best, loquat yellow, osmanthus yellow is slightly inferior, and tung oil yellow is the next grade in Tianhuang. Tian Huang Shi has called Tian Huang Jelly, is a very psychic and clear spirit stone, the color is like broken egg yolk, produced in Nakasaka, very rare, listed as a tribute in history.

Baitian stone refers to the white in the field stone, the texture is delicate such as clotted fat, slightly transparent, some of its color is pure white, and some of the white is tender yellow or light green. The stone skin is as warm as mutton fat jade, and the more you go inside, the lighter the color is, and the radish pattern, red tendon, and check pattern are more and more obvious, like blood stored in the white silk satin. The stone products are better than those with psychic, fine lines and less grids, and the texture is not inferior to that of high-quality Tianhuang stone.

The red color in the field stone is called the red field stone. There are two reasons for being born in Hongtian, one is to naturally generate a body of original red; One is artificially calcined into the acquired red, the natural red field stone is called orange peel red, is a rare stone species.

There was originally a "Guangying Temple" outside Shoushan Village, which was built in the third year of Tang Guangqi (884). The monks in the temple often collect Tianhuang stone, grind it into powder to treat the surrounding people, the unused stone is stored in the temple, accumulate over time, and accumulate countless Tianhuang in the temple. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Guangying Temple was burned by the Yuan soldiers because it had taken in Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Tian Huangshi that the monks had worked hard to accumulate was also silent in the fire, and Tian Huangshi was buried in the soil after being burned by the fire. Hundreds of years of sun and rain, water erosion not only did not make these buried under the ruins of Tianhuang stone eclipsed, the nourishment of the special soil gave them more gorgeous life, not only retained the original excellent quality of Tianhuang stone, but also further achieved its unique charm of warmth and simplicity like ancient jade. At this time, the temple Pingtian is no longer just a simple stone, but more like a wise man after the vicissitudes of the world, they quietly guard the land of Guangying Temple, which has experienced the vicissitudes of life, recorded the history, and witnessed the changes of the years. During the Hongwu and Chongzhen periods of Guangying Temple, it was burned down and rebuilt twice, and abnormal environmental factors were the unique evolution conditions for the formation of Sipingtian. Among them, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by fire twice, and it was also the most important time for the formation of Siping stone. The number of temple flat stones in the Ming Dynasty is quite large, and it has become the fashion of literati to collect temple flat stones near Guangying Temple, and the value of Temple Ping Tian has risen year by year, and it has been "ten times that of Yi Jin" a long time ago.

There is a mountain named Kengtou Mountain in the southeast of Shoushan Village, which is the birthplace of Shoushan Creek, and there are pit head holes and crystal caves by the mountains and rivers, which are the places where puddle stones are produced. Because the hole is next to the stream, the stone is soaked underwater, so it is also called "the travertine in the stream". The puddle stone is small, and the good quality is particularly rare, so the puddle stone products seen on the market today are mostly old things from 1000 years ago, so there is a saying of "a hundred years of rare puddle frozen". The puddle stone is a collection of various diameter frozen stones in Shoushan stone, the main varieties are crystal jelly, yellow jelly, sky blue jelly, fish brain jelly, horn jelly, eel jelly, ring jelly, pit head freeze and digging pit head, etc., the color is yellow, white, gray, blue and so on.

The collection of Shoushan stone rough began long before the early years of the Ming Dynasty. Because during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty (13681398), the Shoushan Village "Shoushan Guangying Temple" built in the third year of Tang Guangqi (887) was burned to the fire. After the fire, there were many Shoushan stones left at the former site of "Guangyingin", which was later called "Temple Ping Stone". Therefore, the poem "You Shoushan Temple" by Ming = Xu Huobo wrote: "The grass invades the old site and throws away the remnants, and the rain washes the empty mountain and picks up the broken min." "Broken Min" refers to the "Shoushan Stone" that was collected by the monks of "Guangyingin". However, at that time, the collection of "Shoushan Stone" rough stones may not be for artistic appreciation, but for the purpose of making utensils after carving. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Xuequan found and began to collect Tianhuang stone, to the Qing Dynasty, "Shoushan stone fever" was in full swing all over the country, so in the collection of Shoushan stone carvings at the same time, it also set off a boom in the collection of Shoushan stone rough stones. In addition to being processed into priceless Shoushan stone handicrafts, Shoushan stone rough stone itself is extremely valuable for its texture, texture, color and derived culture. For example, the Tianhuang stone in the Shoushan stone, because it has the value of "ten times the value of Yijin", the collection of a piece of Tianhuang stone is a "safe" of assets, and it can also be said to be a symbol of the number of properties. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there are examples of "a thousand gold to buy Tian Huang" or "ten thousand gold to buy Tian Huang", but more collections are for the appreciation of art. Modern Shoushan stone collectors still have many keen collections of rough stones.

In 1982, a professor in the United States "bought Tianhuang with ten thousand gold", that is, he bought a piece of Tianhuang original stone with 2 taels. There is a collector in Taiwan who specializes in collecting the "hibiscus stone" in Shoushan stone. The Chinese painter Qi Baishi has a good story of "a rich man with a hundred stones". He searched extensively and collected 1,000 pieces, and it was one of the high-quality "China's three major seal stones" "Hibiscus Stone", which was nicknamed "Prince of a Thousand Stones".

Shoushan stone carvings were first seen in the stone figurines of the Southern Dynasty, but the carving skills were rough, except for the burial of the stone figurines, there was no example of collection. Liang Kejia's "Three Mountains Chronicles" says that in the Song Dynasty, Shoushan stone began to be mined in large quantities and used for carving, and the exquisite ones were shipped to Bianliang as tribute and became the plaything of the court.
