My system is not decent

Chapter 1179
In the recent period, Chen Wenzhe has acquired quite a few gemstones in South Vietnam.

He doesn't have jade in his hand now, but he has emerald.

For Chen Wenzhe, it was very easy to find a piece of white and transparent jadeite.

As for the quality, it must be above the ice species, and only this level of jadeite can match his current craftsmanship.

It seems that there is no difficulty in carving deer and cranes on a pen holder.

"Deer" and "six" are homophonic, and "crane" and "he" are homonymous to form the "six contract spring".

Therefore, Cranes and Deer are in the same spring, and people always entrust people with the beautiful vision of seeking peace and prosperity, longevity and happiness.

The pattern of "crane and deer in the same spring" appeared in the Ming Dynasty, but the earliest form of expression is not seen today.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were six cranes, and it was not until the late Ming Dynasty that the crane and deer double beasts were derived.

The Qing Qianlong White Jade Crane and Deer Tongchun Pen Holder is currently the largest jade pen holder in the hands of private collectors.

It was originally in the old collection of Jin Congyi, a well-known antique dealer in Xiangjiang, and later transferred to the collection of Ernst Weil in Vienna.

In the autumn auction of Christie's in Hong Kong in 2007, it was sold at a sky-high price of 5408.75 million Hong Kong dollars.

This time the auction was more than 5 times higher than the estimated price, making it the third highest auction price of all pen holders made of materials over the years, and it has not been shaken so far.

This is also the most expensive lot with a deer image so far.

Its wall is carved with evergreen pine trees all the year round, together with chime, peach, xianzhi, old man and boy, which sound homonymous to "Qing", a festive and auspicious birthday celebration fairyland is presented on this rare pen holder.

For such a pen holder, layout and painting skills are the most important, and of course, there is also carving.

The reason why Chen Wenzhe sculpted such a pen holder must be because everything has been calculated.

For him, there is no technical difficulty, and it is naturally easy to make.

The jadeite he found was not small, and after taking out a few pairs of jade bracelets according to the size, the jade tube left was just like a pen holder.

In this way, several pairs of transparent white jade bracelets were obtained, as well as several pen holders.

Because after taking out the jade bracelet, there is still a jade core inside the jade bracelet, and if you continue to take out this one, it will be another pen holder.

The pen holder happened to be one big and one small, because Chen Wenzhe knew that there was a bigger famous pen holder.

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a white jade pen holder that is only one centimeter larger than the previous one.

To make this kind of thing, because it does not require complicated techniques, and it does not need to be fired in the kiln many times, the speed is very fast.

It only took Chen Wenzhe more than two hours to make a pair of bottle neck pen holders.

The main thing is the deer, which has been imprinted in his heart because of making porcelain, which makes his carving as easy as flowing water.

Although he has such a level, he will only occasionally do a few pieces of jadeite carving, not more.

Recently, he still mainly makes porcelain, because it is different for him, especially the porcelain he wants to make now is really too much.

For example, he was working on the theme of deer and cranes in the same spring, and he couldn't help but think of such a gall bottle.

That was in December 2010, the Qing Qianlong blue and white crane and deer Tongchun gallbladder bottle that was put up for auction in Shendu Poly.

This gall bottle was sold for 1512 million yuan, which is the highest price among gall bottles of all materials and themes so far.

The body of the vessel depicts the "Spring Picture of Liutong" in blue and white, so it is another example of a famous painting copied on famous porcelain.

Emperor Qianlong admired the elegant shape of the gall bottle, and wrote many poems in praise of it, and explained in the poem notes: "Both the gall bottle and the paper mallet bottle are the best bottle styles."

"Liutong Spring Picture" was very popular among the blue and white porcelain of folk kilns during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

However, as the decorative theme of imperial porcelain in the Qing court, it was extremely rare in the three dynasties of Kang, Yong and Qian.

Reviewing the materials seen so far, no similar utensils have been found.

It's just that Lot No. 2008 is similar to it in the 2830 Spring Auction of Jiangsu Theby's in Hong Kong.

It was a "Qianlong blue and white 'Pine Stone Shoulu' picture olive vase", which can only be said to be similar to it, and the painted deer, stacked stones, branches, etc. seemed to be made by one person.

And this bottle was sold for 1152.75 million Hong Kong dollars at that time, which can also be said to be of great value!
There are tens of millions of porcelains, each of which is a treasure and an art treasure.

Chen Wenzhe never touched such porcelain before.

However, now that he has even made the Hundred Deer Picture, his confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

"Since it is done, even the more famous blue and white longevity pattern statue will be imitated!"

Blue and white is not difficult to make, what is difficult is to depict [-] longevity characters with different fonts on one piece of statue.

Chen Wenzhe had received a picture of one hundred longevity before, but now he wrote ten thousand longevity characters on the blue and white porcelain. This job is really not easy.

It can be said that there is no comparison between the two. The picture of a hundred longevity is just one hundred characters with different fonts. How can it be compared with ten thousand characters with different characters?
It is also recently that Chen Wenzhe has gained confidence in his calligraphy, otherwise, he would never do such self-defeating things.

The blue and white "Longevity" statue of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty that Chen Wenzhe wanted to imitate is now in the Jinling Museum. Even in a large museum like the Jinling Museum, it is a real treasure.

First of all, explain why it is called Dazun, because its diameter reaches 38 cm, the bottom diameter is 28 cm, and the height is 77 cm.

This one has a slightly slanted mouth, square lips, the outer lips are nearly straight, the neck is relatively short, the shoulders are slanted inward, the feet are round and bulging, and the bottom is sandy.

There are two joint marks on the body, and the carcass is thick.

The outside of the vessel is glazed to the end, and the inside of the vessel is filled with glaze.

The most important thing is that its whole body is filled with [-] non-repeating "shou" characters in blue and white glaze.

This kind of statue is produced by the Jingzhen Imperial Kiln Factory, which was specially fired to celebrate the [-]th birthday of Emperor Kangxi, implying longevity.

The whole body of this kind of statue is painted with longevity patterns, and the upper edge of the mouth is two weeks, 77 characters per week;
There are 48 characters per week on the side edge of the mouth and the outer edge of the ring foot; the body of the vessel has 75 rows vertically and 130 rows horizontally, totaling a total of [-] characters.

The size of the characters expands and contracts with the shape curve of the utensils, regular and natural, artificial and charming.

Such a national treasure can be collected, because the price is too high.

In other words, even if someone sells it, few people can afford it.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe can afford it, but there is only one such thing in the world, and there is nothing to buy!

Such a piece of porcelain seems to be very simple, because it has no other complicated patterns, only the densely packed longevity characters on it.

Does this look very simple?It's not easy!
Only when you really start to make it yourself, you will know that there are too many pits inside.

First of all, firing such a huge utensil requires superb porcelain firing technology;
Such a bright blue and white hair color needs to be painted with high-quality blue and white pigments;
To express such a complicated and colorful variant of the character "Shou", one must have a solid foundation in writing;

Such an extraordinary overall planning also shows the power of the feudal emperor and the respect of his courtiers.
