Fu Qingyang first found a comfortable hotel to live in, compared with Ciming Antique City and other famous antique cities at home and abroad.

However, Fu Qingyang was still looking forward to this trip to the antique city, not for anything else, he went to the antique city to hunt for treasure this time because he wanted to find a She inkstone.The She inkstone comes from Longhua, so the probability of finding it in Longhuashan Antique City is naturally higher.

Fu Qingyang once saw a She inkstone at a friend's house, and fell in love with it.Unfortunately, I have not been able to find one of my own She Yan.As a connoisseur of antiques, Fu Qingyang naturally knows a lot about She Inkstone.She inkstone got its name because it was produced in Shezhou.The stone material from the streams at the foot of Longwei Mountain in Wuyuan is the best, so She inkstone is also called Longwei inkstone.It was produced during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, and a certain scale was formed in the Southern Tang Dynasty.She inkstone has the advantages of "astringent without leaving the brush, slippery without rejecting the ink, melon skin and inside, golden sound and jade virtue".According to natural patterns, it can be divided into: eyebrows, ribs, gold stars, golden halos, caviar, jade belts and other stone products.

Among rib inkstones, ancient rhinoceros ribs, roe ribs and dark fine ribs are the best.She inkstone has many elegant names because of its different stone patterns, such as Venus inkstone, golden color dots sprinkled in the inkstone, yellow stars on a black ground, like stars in the night; rib inkstone, blue and black thin lines like ribs, as thin as hair The thick ones are like rolls, and the waves are flexible, like pebbles that are flat and round; moth eyebrow inkstones, lying silkworms, and willow leaves are all like eyebrows, long and short, and some are in pairs, just like faces. Hang double eyebrows.In addition, there are roe patterns, melon seed patterns, jujube heart patterns, operator patterns, pine patterns, bean patterns, horn wave patterns, etc. Famous inkstone carving masters generally carve inkstones according to their materials.Let the pattern and color show the natural and simple appearance as much as possible, so that the natural craftsmanship and hands are integrated and complement each other.Although the ribbed inkstone has high practical value, it is not the most famous.Among the She inkstones, the Jinxing inkstone is the most famous.Since the excavation of Xieshi in the Tang Dynasty, the reputation of Jinxing inkstone has always been at the top, and it is considered to be the representative of She inkstone.Jinxing inkstone has high hardness, firmness and wear resistance, and the more you grind it, the brighter it is. It is easy to wash, and the brightness is as bright as before. It is the best product among inkstones.

She inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in China.It is a treasure as famous as Duan inkstone in the history of inkstone.Longwei Mountain is [-] Ren Zhou and [-] Li high, with deep valleys and lakes, lush vegetation and turbulent streams.The strange stone stands tall, known as "Yanshan".According to the "Wuyuan County Chronicles", the best stone producers are not all in Longwei Mountain, but there are also donkeys.Wash mud pits, cave spirit rocks, etc.Collectively referred to as She Stone, or Wuyuan Stone.At that time, Wuyuan was under the jurisdiction of Shezhou. During the reign of Huizong in Song Dynasty, Shezhou was changed to Huizhou, and She inkstone was famous before Huizhou.Therefore, it is called Hui ink but not Hui inkstone.She inkstone is tough, moist and dense, with beautiful texture.There is a clear metal sound when knocking, and the water storage is not consumed.It is not ice-cold, it can be ground with breath, the ink is like oil, it does not hurt the hair, the carving is fine, simple and generous.She inkstone carving has also made great progress through the hard work of famous inkstone carving masters in the past dynasties, especially in recent decades, many famous masters have emerged and various schools have formed.The carving technique and design inherit the essence of tradition, but abandon its vulgarity and craftsmanship, making this traditional craft more valuable for collection.It's a pity that the materials of She inkstone are very scarce now, so the value of She inkstone has naturally become very high.

Because the She inkstone is covered with Qingying, its texture is fine, firm and moist like jade, and the sound of grinding ink is deeply loved by Li Jing, Emperor Yuanzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Manage inkstone matters.Li Yu, the queen master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, said that Chengxintang Paper, Li Tingmo, and Longwei Zaoxin are now the best in the world, which made She inkstone more famous.At the end of the Five Dynasties, due to the war in the south of the Yangtze River, the inkstone pit was flooded, and the inkstone making industry gradually declined.Until the Song Dynasty, Qian Zhi, the school manager, went to She County to work, and sent people to find the submerged inkstone pit, and took measures to dredge the stream, and the stone came back, and the inkstone making industry rose again.Later, during the reign of Jiayou, migrant workers were recruited again for excavation.As a result, the Jingpin She inkstone once again presented a prosperous scene, and the Jingpin She inkstone continued to come out, and a group of master inkstone carvings represented by Zhouquan emerged.During this period, some monographs on leading inkstones, such as "Shezhou inkstone book", "She inkstone theory" and "She stone differentiation" were also published one after another.Today, in the Anju Provincial Museum, there are still a batch of She Inkstones of the Song Dynasty unearthed after liberation. The stone is firm and fine, and the carving is simple and elegant.

The geological age of Sheshi belongs to the Sinian period, one billion years ago, and it is a kind of argillaceous sticky slate. The geological age of Guangdong Duanshi is Devonian, [-] million years ago, it is a kind of argillaceous limestone.The average hardness of Sheshi is about [-] degrees, which is [-] degrees higher than that of Duanshi.Because of the firmness and moistness of the She stone, it has the advantage of "it has been in ink for many years, and it will be bright when it is washed", which is inferior to Duanshi.In history, there are many poems and essays praising She inkstone.For example, Su Wu, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and Cai Xiang, the four great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, all spoke highly of She inkstone.Su Shi wrote in a poem: "Luo Xixiao's horns are flat, rice balls are rhinoceros, and clouds are flowing. After a nap, people are quiet at first, and they listen to the sound of the westerly wind." See the degree of the poet's obsession with She inkstone.Cai Xiang, a Legalist who was once a scholar of the Duanming Palace, got a piece of inkstone by chance and said with joy: "The jade is pure and elegant. The sharpness is as good as the sound of ink. Xiangru still holds it after hearing the Tao. He is willing to ask the Qin people for fifteen cities." "Comparing Baoshe inkstone to the priceless Heshibi, this is enough to show how precious and rare it is for a fine product to appear.

However, it is precisely because She inkstone is so famous that it is not easy to get a piece of She inkstone in the antique market, especially in the way of picking up leaks.Because it is a morning market, there are many people in Longhuashan Antique City. Many antique lovers come here early in the morning, wanting to realize the legendary dream of picking up leaks.But picking up leaks is a technical job, and it's not something that people just pick up leaks if they want to.The old fritters who set up stalls in the antique city are all well-versed in their trade, and they only pick those fresh-faced and confident young people to sell some low-end handicrafts, but they can make a lot of money.

Fu Qingyang was strolling in the antique city, when about sixty or so hunchbacked old men came up to him.

"Sir, do you want She Yan?" The hunchbacked old man pretended to be mysterious.

"Do you have a She inkstone?" Fu Qingyang asked calmly.

As an old customer in the antique market, he was no longer surprised by such mysterious sellers as the hunchbacked old man, and his voice was very flat.

The hunchbacked old man couldn't help being a little disappointed when he saw that Fu Qingyang didn't show any excitement on his face, but instead had a calm expression.In his opinion, the young man in front of him might not be as easy to fool as he imagined.

"Yes!" But the hunchbacked old man still answered Fu Qingyang's question in a very positive tone.

"Is it the modern She inkstone or the ancient She inkstone?" Fu Qingyang continued to ask.

"It's an ancient She inkstone!" The hunchbacked old man then replied.

"Did you bring it with you?" Fu Qingyang didn't believe the hunchbacked old man's words. He decided that if the other party carried it with him, he would take a look at it. If he didn't, forget it.

"Bring it!" The hunchbacked old man looked around vigilantly, seeing that no one was paying attention, he carefully took out an inkstone from his arms.

When Fu Qingyang saw this inkstone, he almost laughed out of breath.What kind of inkstone did the hunchbacked old man take out? It was just an inkstone carved from ordinary stone.This stone is very unsuitable for inkstone, it seems to be marble.This made Fu Qingyang very angry, he felt that the hunchbacked old man underestimated his vision too much.

"That's right, it's a good inkstone, but I'm short on money, so I can't afford such a good inkstone." Fu Qingyang forcefully dropped such a sentence, and walked away.

"Don't, don't, I see that you are a knowledgeable person, I can give you a low price!" Seeing that Fu Qingyang was about to leave, the hunchbacked old man hurriedly stopped him.

"I'm sorry, although I've seen many inkstones, I've never seen such an orphan carved from marble in your hands. Since it's an orphan, it's naturally worth a lot. I think you should find someone who knows how to sell it!" Fu Qingyang He didn't want to expose the hunchbacked old man, but the other party refused to let him go, so he simply pointed it out.

When the hunchbacked old man heard Fu Qingyang's words, his face blushed and he walked away dejectedly.Fu Qingyang continued wandering around the antique city, and when he came to the booth of a middle-aged woman, his eyes suddenly lit up. On the booth, there was a particularly inconspicuous inkstone. thing.But it was this inconspicuous inkstone that made Fu Qingyang's eyes light up. In his spiritual pupils, the inkstone was covered with a layer of blue precious light.

Fu Qingyang didn't expect such a broken thing to be shrouded in blue light, he couldn't help being curious, and used the see-through function of Lingtong to take a closer look.Looking at it, Fu Qingyang was very happy, it turned out that the yellowish layer on the outside was not the true color of this inkstone.

Seeing this, Fu Qingyang also remembered.In ancient times, there was a kind of yellow cloud mud. After it was formulated with a special method, it was applied on some precious objects. After air drying, it looked like a natural yellow stone, and it was difficult to see the clue.Just like the inkstone in front of him, after using Huang Yunmu to cover up his true color, if Fu Qingyang hadn't possessed the big weapon of Lingtong, he might have pierced his eyes.

Fu Qingyang could see very clearly that what was wrapped in Huang Yunni was exactly a She inkstone.Originally, I came to Longhuashan Antique Market with a mentality of trying my luck, but I didn't expect to find a She inkstone.As the saying goes: "If you break through the iron shoes and find a place, you will find it without any effort."This is how Fu Qingyang feels now.

"How do you sell this square inkstone?" Fu Qingyang asked.

When the middle-aged woman heard someone ask about the ugly inkstone, she couldn't help being a little curious. After looking up at Fu Qingyang, she quoted a price: "Eighty!"

Fu Qingyang couldn't help being a little amused, that one of the She inkstones offered a price of 80, which must be rare in ancient and modern times.Of course, this is also the offer when the other party does not know that this is a She Inkstone. If the other party really knows that this ugly inkstone is actually a She Inkstone, I am afraid that even [-] may not necessarily be sold. (To be continued..)
