At this time, everyone's eyes on the scene were on the Tian Huang seal in Chu Chen's hand.

This Fangtian Huangshi is huge and square, the texture is particularly greasy, warm and moist, fine, there is an indescribable oily feeling of condensation into jelly, its color is natural and supple, it is light "orange peel yellow" color, the texture contains extremely fine radish lines, dense and dense, the red tendons are significantly easy to identify, the texture is clear and the characteristics are typical, it is obviously a very excellent Tianhuang frozen stone.

Lu Changshun sat next to Chu Chen, and saw it very clearly, so he immediately sighed lightly and said, "It's actually a 'Boyi' chapter!" ”

The "thin meaning" in Lu Changshun's mouth is a unique expression technique of Shoushan stone seal. It is gradually derived from the relief technique, it is more "shallow" than the bas-relief, because the carving layer is thin and full of painting, so it is called "thin". Because of the fluency of the carving knife, the delicate depiction, and the blanching of the shadow and shadow, it is appreciated and respected by the painters of gold and stone painting.

Boyi art was developed on the basis of the Bogu ornamentation and brocade relief carvings of stone seals in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Kangxi has begun to emerge, Yongzheng time to perfect, to Tongzhi, Guangxu years, "Ximen" artist Pan Yumao brothers, specializing in deep knife carving, laid the foundation of thin carving.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Lin Qingqing absorbed the essence of Chinese painting, melted and painted in one furnace, and used a knife to write on behalf of the pen, which raised the art of thin art to a new level in a unique way, as a unique art form in Shoushan stone carving.

Boyi carving is known for its "heavy elegance, subtle workmanship, near painting theory", it integrates calligraphy, seal carving, painting in one, is a unique art between painting and carving, because of this. Excellent works of Boyi often have otherworldly artistic charm and are particularly appreciative.

The Fang Tian Huang seal in Chu Chen's hand. The surface layer is shallow carved mountain stone moire, and the current scenery is heavy and mountainous, and the floating clouds are swirling. A few strokes, a wave of the style, the style is elegant, the artistic conception is far-reaching, doubling the exquisite knife skills.

This chapter attaches great importance to the painting theory, pay attention to the brush and ink, the whole picture is like a distant landscape painting, in the clear and moist to see the gorgeous, with a knife like a pen, the technique is refined and skillful, according to the aptitude. Craftsmanship.

The inscription on the bottom is "the mountain is as quiet as the ancient, and the day is as long as a small year".

Chu Chen picked up the magnifying glass and carefully observed the seal in his hand, then put the seal in front of Lu Changshun and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, I think this seal is likely to be made by Master Lin Qingqing, can you take a look?" ”

"What? Lin Qingqing? The experts on the scene and some Tibetan friends who have studied Boyi carving, heard Lin Qingqing's name, they were all very surprised, Lu Changshun hurriedly picked up a magnifying glass, and solemnly appraised it.

"Who is this Lin Qingqing?" Someone asked.

Someone among Tibetan friends explained: "Lin Qingqing is a master of thin carving in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China!" He is fond of poetry, calligraphy and painting. Studied under Chen Keying, a master of stone carving in Shoushan, to learn Boyi carving. Because of his talent and hard work, he is famous. ”

He felt that his artistic skills were weak, so he specialized in Boyi carving. With greater ambition, he put aside the carving knife for the time being, and turned to learn ink painting. From this, you can understand the brushwork, discipline and painting theory of Chinese painting. Later, he looked for inspiration in ancient stone carvings and portrait bricks. It took five years to learn and succeed. After consciously integrating it, he returned to his old business. Specialize in Boyi and push it to the top. ”

Lin Qingqing with his genius and diligence, created a new style of Boyi art, he set the essence of Chinese painting art and ancient carving in the art of stone carving, is the most outstanding modern art master. It is known as "Ximen Qing". ”

Gong Lun's "Shoushan Stone Spectrum" praised it as "exquisite, really able to use a knife like a pen, in Yang Yuxuan, Zhou Shangjun's two families, a unique person." "At that time, the famous Chinese painter Xiong Wenyong saw his works and exclaimed: Qingqing's painting of stone is beyond the reach of human painting paper, and it is the inheritor of stone painting."

After listening to the man's explanation, someone immediately said in surprise: "This Lin Qingqing is so powerful, so this seal shouldn't be cheap, right?" ”

Someone in front of him said: "Of course it's not cheap, let's not talk about Lin Qingqing's craftsmanship, the quality of this Fang Tian Huang seal is very extraordinary, just the material, I estimate that it is worth 500,000, plus the effect of celebrities, I think this seal can be worth 700,000 or 800,000!" ”

When the people around heard that this seal was so valuable, they were in an uproar.

"It seems that this is the endless road!"

"Yes! It's just a pity that if this seal doesn't have a seal, it will be even more valuable......"

Just as there was a lot of discussion in the audience, Lu Changshun also finished reading it, and Chu Chen hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, do you think this chapter is Lin Qingqing's work?" ”

Lu Changshun said with a smile: "Is it Lin Qingqing's work, let's first talk about the characteristics of Lin Qingqing's works, Xiao Chu You should know the way, Lin Qingqing's portrayal of the surface of the thin scenery can be described as unique, the trunk scars, petals, flowers and leaves, the structure of the characters and the folds of clothes are all opened with small round knives, the knife is sparse and dense, and the knife and pen are full of flowers." ”

He uses a round knife or a semi-circular knife for smoke, clouds, mountains and stones, etc., the knife is smooth and simple, rigid and soft, left and right, and the freehand bamboo leaves, reeds and grass retain the glossy surface, and the tail of the bamboo leaves is intentionally integrated with the bottom ground, which is more interesting and three-dimensional. His skill in carving water patterns is particularly admirable, and he can't change it at all with a few knives, so he really suspects that he has divine help. ”

Speaking of which, he concluded: "To sum up, the characteristics of this seal carving are all in line with Lin Qingqing's style, so I think this seal should be Lin Qingqing's work, and it is also one of his masterpieces, which is very rare." ”

"Shopkeeper Lu, if you say so, then I'll be relieved." Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Little brother, how much is this thing worth?" Aunt Li asked cautiously.

Chu Chen first discussed with Lu Changshun for a while, and then said with a smile: "Just now I seem to have heard a Tibetan friend say that this seal is worth seven or eight hundred thousand, I think he really sees it more accurately, after my discussion with Teacher Lu, the market value of this seal should be eight hundred thousand!" ”

"Bang Bang!" As soon as Chu Chen's words fell, I don't know who started it, and there was thunderous applause at the scene, and the Tibetan friend who was mentioned by Chu Chen just now was even more red at the moment, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning behind his ears, and it was a great honor for him to be affirmed by experts and teachers.

At the same time, when Aunt Li heard Chu Chen say the three words "800,000", there was a "buzz" in her head, and she didn't even have the ability to think in an instant, and it wasn't until Chu Chen called her twice that she came back to her senses.

"Aunt Li, you're fine, right?" Chu Chen asked with some concern.

"It's okay!" Aunt Li hurriedly waved her hand, and then asked, "Little brother, can I really sell 800,000 yuan for something like that?" ”

"Yes, it can indeed be sold for 800,000!" Chu Chen nodded affirmatively.

After receiving Chu Chen's affirmative answer, Aunt Li immediately cried with joy, with this money, her grandson's life should be saved, is there anything in the world that can make her happier than this?

Seeing that Aunt Li's mood swings were a little big, Chu Chen hurriedly asked the staff to take her aside to comfort her, as for the transaction of the Buddha statue and Tian Huang's seal, let's talk about it later, but many people in the audience are looking at each other, it seems that many people are interested in these two things......
