Jin Yutong

Chapter 450

Chen Ran opened the box, just glanced at it, his eyes lit up, and his expression became serious. He had to say that although he hadn't looked at it carefully, he knew that this jade pendant was definitely the one he had seen before. The best jade pendant, even though he has seen not many jade pendants in total.

The jade pendant in front of me is carved with a scene of a bald-headed bird playing with a peony. The carving techniques used include decorative patterns and hollow-out carvings. At a glance, it can be seen that the technique is more complicated. Of course, the more important thing is the artistic conception, the bald-headed bird The liveliness and cleverness of the peony, the nobility and grandeur of the peony are expressed vividly and heartily. Only from this jade pendant, we can see the mind of the jade carver who carved this jade pendant. In particular, the white-headed bird on the screen gives people a sense of joy that wants to jump out of the jade pendant and fly to your shoulder to play with you, and the noble and magnificent peony seems to be beckoning to you.

After taking a look, Chen Ran immediately knew that this jade pendant was a good thing. What a good way, the material for carving jade came second, and the main thing was naturally the artistic conception of this jade pendant.

It's just that he was a little puzzled in his heart. Although this jade pendant is good, it should be able to imitate it if other jade carvers make it. Although the imitation may not have the same artistic conception, the artistic conception As long as the difference is not too far away, this thing will be fine. Besides, even if the jade carver who carved this jade pendant carves two identical jade pendants, it is impossible for the artistic conception to be the same. There must be a slight difference. Yes, it has something to do with the state of the jade carver. If the state of the jade carver is good, he will perform well, and the quality of the carved jade will be high. However, it is impossible for a jade carver to maintain the same state all the time when carving jade. of.

"Brother Chen, why don't you take a look at this first?"

Perhaps seeing Chen Ran's doubts, Fatty Chang handed Chen Ran a document at this time.

Although Chen Ran was a little strange, he also took it and took a look. He was startled when he looked at it, but then suddenly understood.

"Brother Chen, do you know this kind of jade pendant?" Fatty Chang was surprised when he saw Chen Ran's expression. Even he had never heard of this kind of jade pendant. I've never heard of it, but looking at Chen Ran's expression, he seemed to know it.

"Brother Chang, this is the jade pendant." Hearing Fatty Chang's question, Chen Ran nodded, and he really knew a thing or two about this kind of jade pendant.

It is very common to wear jade pendants in our country, especially in ancient times, the ancient ruling class wore jade pendants, even in most dynasties, it was necessary to wear jade pendants, because the ruling class had a strict hierarchy, and wearing jade pendants was to be recorded in the legal policy The middle, that is, the etiquette, that is, if you go out without wearing a jade pendant, it is not proper, that is, it is illegal, and if it is serious, you will be beheaded.

And there are full pendants, group pendants and decorative pendants.

The most magical and mysterious jade pendant is naturally Quanpei. Quanpei is a very complicated jade pendant. In ancient times, only kings could wear such jade pendants. Come to worship the world.

Quan Pei is a combination of Heng, Huang, Ju, Yu, Chong Ya, etc. Since the Song Dynasty, many scholars have conducted textual research and speculation on the combination. Since the system of wearing has been lost for more than [-] years, it is still difficult to conclude.

At present, there are only three pieces of Quanpei unearthed in total. One is hidden in the Freer Art Museum in the United States. It comes from the Golden Village of Huadu. It is about 42 centimeters long. Huang, Guan, Chongya, etc. make up the ornaments.The two dancers have short hair that covers their foreheads, and their temples are full of curly hair. Their clothes are long and sweeping to the floor, and they each dance with a sleeve on their heads.Chongya is in the shape of a double-headed dragon, and the end of the pendant hangs in the shape of a double dragon. This pendant can be hung on the neck and hang on the chest.

This Quanpei was worn by a lady. Two pieces of Quanpei were unearthed in Huixian County, Central Plains during the Warring States Period. There are two hengs on the left and right hanging on the jade yuan, and a huang on the left and right hengs. , hanging between Heng and Huang.

These three pieces of Quanpei were identified as Quanpei, but in fact, it is only a guess, because these three pieces of Quanpei do not conform to the shape of Quanpei recorded in classical literature.

That is to say, so far, no one has seen what Quan Pei looks like, and everything is still an unsolved mystery, which is only inferred based on records.

In addition to the whole pendant, there is also a group pendant, which is to combine several jade pendants together. There are more group pendants unearthed, but the group pendants are generally hung on leather belts. Not particularly.

Decorative 'sexual' jade pendants needless to say, today's jade pendants are generally decorative 'sexual' jade pendants, decorative 'sexual' jade pendants include zodiac-shaped jade pendants, such as human pattern pendants, dragon pattern pendants, bird pattern pendants, animal pattern pendants And so on, the most exquisite is the jade pendant with a hollow live ring buckle.

But the jade pendant in front of him is a group pendant, specifically speaking, it is also called a demolition jade, or a group jade.

What is dismantling jade?Let’s not talk about group wear, that is, several pieces of group wear are combined together, and dismantling jade is also a kind of group wear, which is a kind of trickery, that is, it is originally a group wear, but from the middle or a certain When the dividing line is disassembled, it becomes two pieces of jade pendants or three pieces of jade pendants or even more, and more importantly, whether it is two or three pieces of jade pendants, they are all the same, but if they are combined together, they are one piece. The jade pendant is not superfluous at all. It is like dismantling the Rubik's Cube into small squares, which are combined into one big square. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to disassemble the jade, because dismantling Regardless of whether the jade pendant after disassembly or the jade pendant combined is not a small square, if it is just a small square, is it still called a jade pendant?

The disassembled jade pendant has a shape and pattern, but the combined jade pendant has another shape and pattern. Of course, dismantling the jade pendant is not simply cutting a piece of jade pendant from the middle, that is, the combination of the sun and the moon. Kind of, to be precise, the combination of the sun and the moon can also be regarded as dismantling jade, but it is just the simplest dismantling jade, and there is no skill at all. The real dismantling jade, whether it is disassembled or assembled, is a complete jade pendant , and both artistic conception and shape are different.

This kind of jade pendant is also called organ jade. Of course, there are very few people who call it this way, but it is just described in this way. It is said that the origin of the demolition jade is carved out of a certain organ in the Warring States period.

This kind of dismantling of jade is just a trick, and it was not very popular in ancient times, because the ancient admiration of jade was not because of the value of jade, but because of the character of jade, that is, a gentleman is as gentle as jade, and he pays attention to the way of a gentleman. Undoubtedly, jade is a strange door, "prostitution" coincidence is not made by a gentleman, so few people know it, let alone people who know it in modern times. Chen Ran knew that this kind of jade pendant was heard from Yan Ruyu. Yan Ruyu went to the black market, Yan Ruyu told him about this kind of jade pendant when he told him about the strange jade, so when he saw Fatty Chang let him see the blueprint, he knew it was a kind of demolition jade , or a kind of jade pendant, correspondingly, I also know the reason why other jade carvers cannot carve out the same jade pendant, because other jade carvers may be able to imitate it, and even the imitated artistic conception is not much different. But if the two are combined, the pattern formed is not necessarily the pattern on the drawing.

Just like the jade pendant in front of him, if you only look at this jade pendant, it is a picture of a white-headed bird playing a peony, but the drawing that Fatty Chang handed him is a picture of a house full of descendants.

The single jade pendant is a bald bird playing peony. Needless to say, the artistic conception of this picture is to wish the newlyweds a happy life together for a hundred years. This is an engagement jade pendant. It means that the newcomers are married.

Combination of couples, that is, two jade pendants combined, the jade pendant after the two jade pendants are combined happens to be a picture of a house full of children and grandchildren.

Before merging, when merging, and after merging, this is undoubtedly the occasion. The design is extremely ingenious, but if you take apart the two jade pendants that are combined together, they will be two complete jade pendants, and you can only see one of them separately. If it is a jade pendant, it is impossible to tell that it is a piece of jade, so when he first saw this jade pendant, Chen Ran didn't see it.

"That's right, Brother Chen is right. This kind of jade pendant is a group jade. My brother is indeed an expert in our industry. He even has researched this kind of jade pendant. If someone else came to the door, I really don't know Knowing that there is still such a jade pendant, how about it, brother, are you sure you can get it out?" Hearing Chen Ran say that this kind of jade pendant is a group of jade, Fatty Chang nodded happily, although he didn't know whether Chen Ran could carve it or not. Come out, but at least he is much better than other jade carvers, which undoubtedly made him have a little more hope for Chen Ran, and impatiently, he couldn't wait to ask him out.

Seeing Fatty Chang staring at him tightly, Chen Ran smiled wryly. He had only heard about this kind of jade pendant, and had never even seen it before. How could it be carved out? You must know that there are many jade pendants in it For example, an inconspicuous point on a piece of jade pendant may be just a very ordinary point on a single piece, which is very inconspicuous, but after two pieces of jade pendant are combined, it may be the eyes of a person or an animal. The point is naturally different, the eyes must be protruding and energetic, but when this point is alone on a jade pendant, the light of this point must be covered up, how to design this is up to you to figure out, this is just one point, The eyes are relatively simple, but others are more complicated. It is not enough to imitate one of the jade pendants, even if the imitation is the same on the surface, but after the combination, it may be another pattern.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to carve out a pattern that is the same and needs to be combined to be a picture of a house full of descendants. I am afraid that only the jade carver who carved this jade pendant can carve it out, because the code in it is only the jade carving. Only the teacher himself knows.

"Well, Brother Chang, I'll give it a try. I'm not sure if I can carve it out. If it's okay, I'll give you the answer tomorrow morning. What do you think?" His hands are itchy. Although he hasn't been in the jade carving business since this period of time, after all, he has been doing it for more than a year before this. As a jade carver, when he encounters this kind of jade pendant, he naturally wants to study it. Research.
