"I heard that when you were in Ankara, you met another Turkish beauty?" After returning to Han Ya's office in the secret service, Han Ya asked Lin Xiaodao. Free Fiction Portal

"Director Han, your approach is very inappropriate." Lin Xiao just took a sip of tea, and after listening to Han Ya's words, he almost squirted out, "Don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods, this is unacceptable." The state has put you in such an important post, not to let you spend all your resources on jealousy and catching traitors, but to serve the people wholeheartedly. You are so jealous, do you know that the old man knows it? ”

When Han Ya heard this, she immediately burst out laughing, "Don't be so funny, okay, you are so tricky, do you know that the old man knows about it?" ”

"My father and Ling Zun are both understanding people, so naturally they don't listen to the wind or rain." Lin Xiao nodded and replied, "But then again, Turkish beauties still have some residual value, her intelligence organization looks pretty good, and the big data system is worth our attention." It was with the idea of planting a nail in Europe that I agreed to her involvement in the big project of super batteries, not that I had any ideas about her personally. ”

"Why don't you have an idea?" Han Ya was skeptical and said, "I read Catherine's information, and sure enough, it is convex and backward, talented and good-looking, I am a little tempted to read it." ”

"Foreigners just have a strong sense of three-dimensionality, once they are over thirty years old, they age very quickly, and they immediately look like buckets, this kind of physique is really not suitable for us Chinese men." Lin Xiao replied, "So, it's okay to act on the spot, but even if you talk about marriage, there is really no potential for sustainable development." ”

"How sad it should be for the girl to hear what you say...... Han Ya said with a smile.

The two of them gossiped a few words, and immediately led the conversation elsewhere.

To be honest, the relationship between Han Ya and Lin Xiao is a bit special, far beyond the relationship between ordinary boyfriends and girlfriends or even husband and wife, so there are not too many false feelings between the two, although Han Ya is a little jealous of Lin Xiao's womanhood, but she is not so repulsive, and she has to strangle the women around him to death.

Basically, as long as those women don't show off in front of her Director Han, Han Ya is unlikely to ask about Lin Xiao's affairs, let alone eat vinegar in Turkey.

"By the way, didn't the fourth master ask you to bring something back?" Han Ya suddenly asked Lin Xiaodao.

"Well, I've brought it back." Lin Xiao nodded and replied, "It is a boxwood carved armrest, which is said to have been given to him by Taizu's teacher, and then it was lost, and now it has finally been retrieved." ”

Lin Xiao said that he took out a boxwood carved arm from the ring storage space, that is, more than a foot long and more than three inches wide, it looked quite old, the pulp was very thick, and it was carved with more complex ornaments.

Han Ya took it and looked at it, then turned her arm over, and sure enough, she saw vaguely recognizable words, which were engraved on the back of the arm rest with a carving knife, and then coated with ink, which was engraved on it by Taizu himself.

"What is this?" Han Ya had never seen an armrest, so after seeing this thing, she was a little curious.

"This is the armrest, a tool used by ancient people to write and rest under the wrist to prevent the ink from staining the clothes." Lin Xiao explained.

"It's interesting that there's something like this." Han Ya said in surprise.

Everyone knows the four treasures of the study, that is, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, but the arm rest or something, not the people of that era, there are really not many people who recognize it, after all, there are very few people who write calligraphy now.

As Lin Xiao said, the arm rest is a tool used to pad the arm and elbow when writing and painting, also called the arm rest, wrist pillow, secret pavilion, etc., among which the title of the secret pavilion is transformed from the ancient book collection of the secret pavilion.

The emergence of arm rests is closely related to the ancient writing utensils and methods.

In ancient times, people wrote with ink-stained brushes in their hands and hung their wrists from right to left. As a result, if you don't pay attention, your arms and sleeves will scrape on what you have written.

In order to avoid this embarrassment, some people came up with a way to use things to cushion the elbows, and then gradually improved and formed into a fixed form, and the arm rest this kind of study utensils has become an indispensable set of practical and ornamental desk sketches in the study.

There are many kinds of arm rests, exquisite craftsmanship, and famous products.

Tu Long of the Ming Dynasty recorded in his monograph that "there are those who win with ancient jade in Changshan, and those who are close to jade grinding mantles, silkworms, plum blossoms, etc., are six or seven inches long." There are those who carve flowers with red sandalwood, and there are those who carve clever figures with bamboo. "There is also a "Japanese artificial ink paint secret pavilion, such as the head of Gui Fangxia, more than two inches wide, the belly is slightly empty...... It is seven inches long, and it is painted with gold clay patterns. Its quality is as light as paper, and it is the best product in the secret pavilion. ”

In fact, in addition to the jade, wood, bamboo, and lacquer armrests mentioned by Tu Long, there are also those made of ivory and porcelain, which have been confirmed by archaeological excavations and hand-me-downs.

Due to the different textures, the decorative techniques of the arm rests are also different, there are shallow carving calligraphy and painting pleasant, there are engraved poems as the motto, there are carved flowers and plants, historical stories, etc.

In the heirloom arm rest, the bamboo carved arm rest, the carved jade arm rest, the secondary arm rest are the most, especially the bamboo carved arm rest.

Bamboo carving arm rest is one of the most carved bamboo carvings, and it is also one of the main representative varieties of bamboo carving art.

The bamboo carving masters of the Ming and Qing dynasties have almost all been handed down from generation to generation.

Whether it is the "Jinling School", "Jiading School" or the Zhejiang School's "Liuqing Carving Method", "Shallow Carving in the Ground", etc., just a few examples can illustrate this point.

Zhu Sansong's figure arm rest: This is a kind of Ming Wanli to Chongzhen by Zhu Zhizheng (16281644 years) carved arm rest boutique, Zhu Sansong, the name of Zhizheng, Sansong is his number. He is the grandson of Zhu He, the bamboo master and founder of the Jiading School, who adheres to the ancestral industry and gives full play to the profound methods of the Jiading School. The bamboo carvings such as the arm rests and pen holders he carved are all delicate and profound, vivid and natural.

Zhang Xihuang flower picture arm rest: Zhang Xihuang, the founder of the Zhejiang school of "Liuqing" method of carving bamboo in the late Ming Dynasty. Zhang Xihuang, a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, he created the "Liuqing" also known as "leather carving" bamboo carving technique, which is to change the bamboo carver in the past before carving the bamboo skin, the so-called "green" scraped off and then carved the way, but to save the bamboo skin, only the bamboo is slightly scraped and polished on the bamboo skin, after carving, and then there is no painting or writing part of the bamboo skin wiped off, so that the pattern is higher than the bamboo carving ground, like relief. After the years, the carved bamboo skin is slightly yellowed, and the color of the bamboo skin becomes darker, forming a chiaroscuro, with an elegant and indifferent, ingenious but not flattering literati atmosphere.

The amount of jade arm rest is small, generally speaking, this kind of arm rest ornament is very complicated, like the Ming Dynasty Lu Zigang green jade bamboo arm rest, only carved two sparse green bamboo is relatively rare.

The ivory arm rest is mainly popular in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, and most of them are imperial supplies in the palace, such as "Arhat crossing the sea chart arm rest", "Songyin Yaji map arm rest", "Rising Sun East Picture arm rest", etc., all of which are high-quality products.

The porcelain arm rest was fired after the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, because it is porcelain, and its advantages and disadvantages are mostly based on the quality of the porcelain. The painter Gao Fenghan was involved in this matter, and the five armrests he handed down are all late Kangxi works.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen burned a kind of porcelain arm rest that imitates the characteristics of bamboo arm rest, bamboo yellow glaze, engraved patterns, but there are not many heirs.

"The arm rests among the literati and scholars, and it is widely spread, but most of them are bamboo and wood products." Lin Xiao took the boxwood carved arm rest from Han Ya's hand and explained to her, "But bamboo and wood products are easy to be eaten by insects, fire, or bruises, plus most of them were burned back then, so there are very few left." ”

Then he said, "Back then, if this arm rest, if it was in China, it might not have been poisoned, but fortunately, it spread overseas, escaped the doom of being burned, and now it can finally see the light of day." ”

In the more than 20 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, countless precious cultural relics were destroyed, and most of the treasures of the Chinese nation, whether they were above-ground buildings, or underground mausoleums, whether they were palace treasures, or private collections, but all those that had anything to do with the four olds were completely destroyed.

How many historical relics of inestimable value have been burned, smashed, destroyed, and destroyed, thinking of the scene at that time, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh a little.

It's like many secret methods of the Daomen, and the inheritance has been completely cut off, so that now there is no one who can even find a decent Taoist priest, and no one can recite the secret mantras of the Daomen or something.

"The luck of the fourth master is not bad, I finally found such an ancestral relic, although it cost a little more money, but it is also worth the ticket price." Lin Xiao said with emotion.

"If you say that, the fourth master is finally a matter of heart." Han Ya nodded and said.

The personal belongings left by Taizu were not much, most of them went into the museum, and now the fourth master bought back the arm rest used by Taizu from overseas at a high price, and it was also given by Taizu's teacher himself, the historical value and humanistic value of this thing are naturally very high.

Especially for the descendants of Taizu like the fourth master, being able to keep an object that Taizu used himself is, of course, precious, even if it costs a lot of money, it is also cost-effective.

The armrest in front of him looks like there are obvious signs of wear, but the wear is round and smooth, and it has already been polished, which is enough to prove that this armrest has been used by Taizu for many years.

For such an item, the fourth master is naturally determined to get it, but this thing is not good for the customs, if it is smuggled back, the fourth master will not be able to hang on his face, so he simply entrusted Lin Xiao to do this matter, and the result was easy to do.

"When it's night, I'll give this arm to the fourth master to send it over, and it's a mess." Lin Xiao said.
