Chapter 1957 "Little Li Flying Knife"

"So, this bowl of yours should be from the Zhengde period, and it still has a certain collection value." After talking for a long time, Shen Long put down the bowl, and everyone nodded, feeling that they have finally learned a lot today.

"Mr. Shen, look at my jade card again." Although Shen Long is younger than everyone present, they still respectfully call Shen Long their teacher. teacher.

"Let me take a look." Shen Long asked him to put the jade plaque on the table first, and then picked it up with his gloved hands. Who is in charge, took out a magnifying glass and looked at the jade plaque carefully, "This is the Zigang plaque, but it must not be made by Lu Zigang himself. The Zigang plaque that is handed down today is rare, and most people can't see it."

Lu Zigang was a jade carving craftsman during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. His skills were unrivaled in the world and his reputation reached the palace. Even the emperor invited him to carve various jade articles. A craftsman is not qualified to engrave his name on his work. When he came to Lu Zigang, he secretly engraved his name on the back, bottom, lid and other inconspicuous places, thus forming his unique mark.

The Zigang brand is a new jade carving work created by him. It changed the old and vulgar jade wares of the Ming Dynasty. With exquisite jade materials and superb jade carving techniques, he integrated seals, calligraphy, and painting arts into the art of jade carving. The craftsmanship has been raised to a new artistic realm; the shape is square or rectangular, thick and solid, just like a brand, so it is called Zigang brand for short.

Its content is usually to cut the landscape painting of literati on one side, and cut the seal of poetry and prose on the other side, which is elegant and refined; after Lu Zigang passed away, the jade carving craftsmen in Wuzhong inherited the carving method of Zigang plaque, and this jade carving craftsmanship has continued until now.

"The Zigang brand in the Ming Dynasty was mainly made of northwest blue and white jade, and white jade was rare, because the northwest was not in the hands of Daming at that time, and it was very difficult to obtain suet white jade; so in terms of jade quality alone, your piece is not a work of the Ming Dynasty. The obvious point is that the words on your jade tablet are engraved in Yin, while the characters on the Zigang tablet should be engraved in Yang."

"The inscribed characters are carved directly on the surface of the jade after the surface of the jade is polished very flat, so the overall flatness of the jade plate is very good after the completion, and it is relatively simple compared with the inscriptions in the inscriptions; the inscriptions in the inscriptions are different. To carve raised characters, one needs to cut off the jade material next to the strokes of the font bit by bit. The cut places will be bumpy and uneven. Just imagine, at this time, all the uneven points except the raised characters should be found again. Getting back on the same plane is easier said than done!"

"Ordinary jade carving craftsmen don't have this ability at all, and only real masters dare to do it; judging from the style of carving techniques, jade quality, and the content of the picture, this piece of yours should be a work from the Jiaqing period, with a certain history. Value." As for the craftsmanship, it's just so-so, and it's definitely not the craftsmanship of some famous masters.

Shen Long has also seen the real Zigang brand. He was the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Lu Zigang has a lot of treasures in the palace. The teapot with opera pattern, the square box with sapphire landscape and figure pattern, and the words on the cup are still written by Zhu Yunming. Most of these treasures are now hidden in the Palace Museum.

In the world of "Under the Zhengyang Gate" before, Shen Long showed Old Master Guan and Poor Hou a Zigang card he brought out from Daming, and the two almost got into a fight. In the end, Shen Long took it again. Only one piece came out, so they didn't completely break up.

"As for calligraphy and painting, to be honest, it may be difficult for us ordinary people to get real calligraphy and painting of famous artists, so let's not talk about the style of calligraphy and painting of famous artists.

Only from the paper to identify. "

"There are few good papers from Mingqi to Qing Kangxi, and most of the papers in the Jiaqing period are imitations of previous dynasties, so the papers in the Qianlong period are the most valuable; secondly, it is best not to believe the age printed on the papers, because the end of the Qing Dynasty In the early years of the Republic of China, a large number of imperial papers during the Qianlong period were imitated, so almost all of them are fakes in the antique market; third, one must be familiar with and master the production characteristics, forms and decorative patterns of various paper papers; fourth, one must see whether the surface of the paper is Smooth and even, whether there are any stains or whether the color is old and natural, usually the ancient paper is thicker, broken into small pieces, and most of the cross-section has twill."

"...So, Mr. Li, the paper you used for this calligraphy should be the paper produced by Qin Baoxuan in Zhenba. It is definitely not as good as the top rice paper such as Niaowen Xuan paper in Jing County and Luhuangxuan. However, in our northwest mountainous area, this is already considered a Wait for a good paper; the time when this Nie Zhixian was the magistrate of our county is consistent with the year when Qin Baoxuan was born, and Nie Zhixian was not well-known in the calligraphy circle at that time, and it is unlikely that someone forged his characters, so you It should be true."

Shen Long talked vernacular all afternoon, talking about jade wares from porcelain, and then calligraphy and painting from jade wares, and commented on all the calligraphy, paintings and antiques that the big guy took out, and the big guy was very impressed when he heard it, "Mr. Keen, it's a pity that we don't have any good things in this poor mountain valley, I'm afraid it will dirty Teacher Shen's eyes!"

"That's over, it's over, if you look at the objects just to see how much they can sell, you will be inferior. Some ordinary objects can also see the cultural customs and skill development level at that time. I have seen so many things today. I have gained a lot." Shen Long laughed, these things are naturally far from being compared with his collection, but there are new gains after looking at them.

"If Mr. Shen is not busy, then come back tomorrow. Let's collect some more objects for Mr. Shen to appreciate." These are people who live a relatively leisurely life. It is rare to have the opportunity to meet a master like Shen Long, so I definitely want to spend more time with him. Exchange exchange.

So during this period of time, Shen Long put aside the turmoil of the outside world, and regardless of how much trouble he had caused in the United States by the various news he released earlier, he just mingled with the literati in these small counties all day long, helping them identify collections, Shen Long has no conflict of interest with these people, so everyone speaks politely, tastes wine and tea every day, plays with calligraphy, painting and antiques, and lives happily.

On this day, I went to see another set of imitation furniture from the period of the Republic of China, drank some wine and went back to the house in the county. In the bathtub, and at this moment, the mission prompt came again in his mind, "Li Xunhuan from the world of "Little Li Flying Knife" asks for your help..."
