When they came to the jade carving factory, several old men seemed to have just eaten, and they were sitting in the courtyard resting in twos and threes at this time, and when they saw Chen Yi coming, they suddenly smiled on their faces. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)

In today's world where interests are paramount, those students who graduated from formal art colleges will not come to them to be a jade carving apprentice at all, and it takes ten years to go from beginner to teacher.

Chen Yi, a person with a great foundation in painting and art, is willing to learn jade carving, which is undoubtedly the biggest surprise for them.

Even if they don't have the name of a teacher, as long as they can pass on the Lingzhou jade carving culture, they don't care about these extraneous things at all, and maintain the last piece of land in the current jade carving factory, that is, because they don't want to watch the Lingzhou jade carving culture that was glorious in the past gradually disappear into history.

"Chen Xiaoyou, how did you study in the auction house today, you have to work a lot harder than when we were younger." Gu greeted Chen Yi with a smile on his face.

In the morning, I learned about appraisal, in the afternoon I learned jade carving, and in my free time, I had to practice painting, which was simply impossible for a young man who was in the stage of having fun.

"It's old, it's not bad, I learned a lot of knowledge in the auction house, and I also have a general understanding of the auction house." Chen Yi said with a smile, Yang Qishen's words gave him a lot of understanding of the inside story of the auction house, under the teaching of Qin Lao, he also has a lot of knowledge that Gao Cunzhi has never talked about before, thinking about today's appraisal, he is still a little unsatisfied.

Appraisal of things in the auction house is like this. For his eyesight. is a great improvement. In the past, he searched for leaks in the antique city, and most of them were only found through the guò treasure search charm, and then first looked at it with his eyes, but the treasure search charm found was basically a treasure, and this kind of preconceived idea could only make him familiar with knowledge, rather than improve his eyesight.

Looking at the unfinished expression on Chen Yi's face, Gu couldn't help but smile. This Chen boy stayed in the auction house all morning, not only did he not feel tired, but on the contrary, he was a little dissatisfied, "Chen Xiaoyou, with our current relationship, it is too obvious to call you Chen Xiaoyou, let's call you Xiaoyi in the future, do you want to take a break, or start learning jade carving now." ”

Chen Yi smiled, since he used the whitewashing charm to count his body. He insisted on exercising every day, so he became very healthy. Coupled with the peace of mind, the study of the auction house in the morning could not make him feel tired at all, on the contrary, he lived a very fulfilling life, "Ancient, I studied with you old men, when to learn, where is my turn to be in charge, when you teach, I will learn." ”

"Haha, you kid is changing the law and saying that we are lazy, in this case, we will teach you some theoretical knowledge in the courtyard first." Hearing Chen Yi's words, Gu couldn't help but laugh and said.

At this time, Yu Lao on the side smiled, "Old Gu, theoretical knowledge, Xiao Yi is an expert in identifying jade pendants, so don't take out our theoretical knowledge of identifying jade." ”

"Elder Yu, don't say that, I only learned jade knowledge in identification, and you are jade knowledge about jade carving, I believe there will be differences." Chen Yi shook his head and said with a smile.

"Okay, don't say it, you're all right, Xiao Yi has extraordinary ability in jade identification, I believe that all grades of jade can be identified, we won't talk about this knowledge, as for other knowledge, I still have to talk about it." Gu said with a smile that having such a person who has achieved both appraisal and painting can be said to save them a lot of trouble.

If an apprentice who does not have any painting foundation and cannot distinguish jade, it is estimated that it will take several months just to learn the theory in the early stage.

"Lao Gu, you are the teacher in terms of theoretical knowledge, you are in charge, in addition, don't forget to give Xiao Yi a copy of the introduction to the jade carving technique of your book, let Xiao Yi go back and see it when he is fine, and when he follows us to learn and practice, he is also prepared." Yu Lao couldn't help but say with a smile.

Gu glanced at him helplessly, "Just your old man talks a lot." ”

"Ancient, you have published a book, so don't forget to sign your old name on the book for me, it can be regarded as a souvenir." Chen Yi said with some surprise.

"You young and old, just bury me, okay, stop talking nonsense." Gu waved his hand, then pointed to the chair next to him and said to Chen Yi: "Xiaoyi, you're welcome, sit down, I'll tell you some of the most basic jade carving knowledge first." ”

Chen Yi nodded, and after thanking him, he sat down next to a few old men, if there are corresponding jade carving books to watch, plus the guidance of several old men, this jade carving must not be too difficult to learn.

"Xiaoyi, you are an appraiser, you must know that jade is soft and hard, the representative of nephrite is Hetian jade, and the representative of jadeite is jadeite, these two kinds of jade have different hardness, and the carving techniques used are also somewhat the same, some different." Then, Gu began to talk about the most basic knowledge of jade carving.

Chen Yi listened carefully to the ancient knowledge, nephrite and jadeite, he naturally knew that the hardness of Hetian jade was between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale, and the hardness of jadeite was generally above 7 on the Mohs scale, and the Mohs hardness was a standard for mineral hardness, and the hardest in the world was naturally diamond, whose Mohs hardness reached the top, that is, ten.

"The color of Hetian jade is relatively simple, mainly using the delicacy of the flesh to show the beauty of jade, and the color of jadeite is diverse, its carving is the use of color, to reflect the beauty, it can be said that the two kinds of jade are different, of course, correspondingly, their carving techniques are also different, Xiaoyi, where are these two kinds of jade produced, you should know." On the way to explain, Gu smiled and asked Chen Yi a question.

Chen Yi nodded, about the two famous jade in China, he knows very well, "Ancient, all tremolite stones with more than 98% content are named Hetian jade, but this is an international saying, according to our own habits of Chinese people, that is, only Hetian jade produced in Xinwei Province, and it is also the most authentic, jadeite, there are also some countries in the world produced, but most of them are some process raw materials that can only be used for ordinary carving, far from reaching the gem level, and only jadeite produced in Myanmar, It's the real gem. ”

"Xiaoyi, when Hetian jade is dug out, most of the jade is exposed, and there is no need to distinguish too much, and most of the jadeite is completely stored in the stone, only by cutting the stone can the jadeite inside be taken out, this behavior is called gambling stone, I believe you know this." Gu continued, this is the difference between Hetian jade and jadeite.

Chen Yi nodded, this point Gao Cunzhi once talked about when introducing jade, of course, the knowledge on jade is not as much as porcelain and calligraphy and painting, but in his free time, he also bought a lot of jade books to watch.

"Ancient, I know that the real sense of jade in our Chinese is actually Hetian jade, not jadeite, and jade has five virtues, which are moisturizing and warm, and benevolence; From the outside, you can know the middle, and the righteous side is also; Its voice is soothing, dedicated to hearing from afar, and the wisdom is also; Indomitable and bending, brave and brave; Honest and honest, clean and clean, this is the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and cleanliness. ”

Chen Yi smiled, the five virtues of jade and the six virtues of the seal stone, he is very clear, but some of them are the same, some are different, "one of the five virtues of jade is the second righteousness, which means that you can know what is inside from the outside, that is, the inside and the outside are the same, and the inside and outside are the same, so Hetian jade does not need to gamble, but the jade is different, there is a layer of weathered skin, so you need to cut it to see the appearance, but I have seen a lot of jadeite, but this jadeite rough stone, but I have not seen it." ”

These things are just the basic knowledge of jade, Chen Yi can achieve his current achievements, it is impossible not to know, but the jade rough, although Gao Cunzhi explained, did not let him watch, and tried his best to warn Chen Yi that when he comes into contact with the jade rough in the future, remember not to indulge in it, otherwise, it will harm others and himself.

"Haha, Xiaoyi, there's finally something you don't know." At this time, Boss Yu on the side said with a smile, this kid can appraise and paint, and it seems that there is nothing he can't do.

"Old man Yu, Xiao Yi just hasn't seen the jade rough, you won't be so gloating, and now he is still the heir of our jade carving, and he is already his own." Gu looked at Yu Lao, and said with a little cry and laughter on his face.

"Ahem, a moment of excitement, a moment of excitement, Xiaoyi, haven't you ever seen the original stone, now I'll move a piece for you to see." With that, Yu Lao rushed out of the bench, as if in order to make up for his mistake, he decided to move a piece of rough stone over.

Chen Yi watched Yu Lao trot all the way to a corner of the courtyard, then picked up a stone the size of a rice bowl, and trotted all the way over, "Ancient, Yu Lao is in good health." Although the stone the size of a rice bowl is not too heavy, Yu Lao's trotting all the way looks relatively easy.

"Don't pay attention to whether he is in good health, this old man practiced when he was young, and he will bring this jade rough stone in a while, you can take a closer look." Listening to Chen Yi's words, Gu couldn't help but say with some amusement.

Soon, Yu Lao trotted all the way and moved the stone and threw it on the open space in front of them, "Look, Xiaoyi, this is the jade rough stone, just like an ordinary stone, we have been cheated by it for a lot of money." (To be continued......)
