God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1543 Reference
Xu Jingxing also had never made porcelain carvings, but he also understood the carving principles of porcelain carvings, and even saw many fine porcelain carvings.

The skill of porcelain carving is relatively unpopular, and it didn’t appear for too long. It only existed in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and it didn’t become popular until the end of Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, because this skill has relatively high requirements for tools, and the hardness of porcelain is so high. If you want to leave marks on the surface without damaging the porcelain, you must use a harder and sharper carving knife, among which tungsten steel knife or diamond knife is the most commonly used.

The specific process principle is also very simple, that is, to punch holes on the surface of the porcelain and form lines with dots to outline the desired picture.

Common fine arts and related crafts use lines as the most basic unit. Some types of fine arts even compose paintings directly on one side, but porcelain engraving is different. The smallest unit is dots. The points are connected in series.

To be more specific, it is to use a tungsten steel knife or a diamond knife to dig pits on the surface of the porcelain, and then apply various colors of dyes in those dense small pits.

Of course, it is easy to say, but it is very difficult to achieve this, because the hardness of porcelain is so high, and the material characteristics are very rigid. Great care must be taken.At the same time, because the painting is done with dots, the composition requirements are higher, and the design must strictly abide by the requirements of this craft, otherwise it will be ugly.

But if the composition is good and there is no problem with the craftsmanship, then the charm of this craft is also very amazing. It can carry a variety of art genres, such as sketches, portraits, landscape paintings, etc. can be applied to this craft .

Anyway, this is a very special traditional skill.

What Xu Jingxing is considering now is to learn from certain characteristics of porcelain carving techniques, such as the creative concept of using dots to form lines.

One of the problems he faced first was that the line sense of jadeite was not obvious, which could not reflect the advantages of Yin carving.

However, if we learn from the technical principle of porcelain carving and use the technique of forming lines with dots on jadeite, will it improve the sense of lines and artistic rendering of jadeite?

If it is a conventional jade carving, such as relief, high relief or even round jade carving, then the technique of using dots to form lines must not be used, because those lines are all external. Not only can the characteristics of the material of jadeite not be fully utilized, but the charm of jadeite itself will also be reduced.

But here, he uses the Yin carving technique, the lines are all concave, and the appreciation of the Yin carving technique is from the opposite side of the carving, so those dense small pits that form the lines will not affect the unique beauty of jadeite. , to a certain extent, can make up for the weakness of emerald that is not strong enough in artistic expression.

Of course, this is theoretically possible.

Specifically, we must speak with facts.

Therefore, according to his own understanding of porcelain carving, negative carving and conventional carving techniques, Xu Jingxing began to combine the two relatively unpopular techniques of porcelain carving and negative carving for creation.

To put it bluntly, it is to process the already completed semi-finished jadeite brand, to reprocess the sunken patterns, and to replace those lines with small pits.

After he simply tried it, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this method was really feasible.

The lines drawn by the material of jadeite are indeed not obvious, but after adopting the principle of using points to form lines, the sense of existence of those lines has been improved a lot. And the reflected light destroys the transparent and uniform visual effect of jadeite, thereby enhancing the expressiveness of the lines.

This is really a great innovation.

Xu Jingxing couldn't be happier, because he can be sure that no one has used this technique to create on jade before.That is to say, he is No.1 in applying this technique to jadeite. It is definitely a praiseworthy honor to pass it on. Maybe he can leave his name in the history of sculpture, although he is now His ability already has the qualifications to leave a name in history, but that's because he opened the cheat, and it is basically impossible for others to copy it.

But this technology is different. If it is spread out, even a jade carver can learn and use it, so this honor is relatively more important.

Of course, the same technology, in his hands and in the hands of ordinary sculptors, presents different effects.

He doesn't have any special ceramic carving knives at hand, only a set of tungsten steel knives for wood carving, which is not very suitable for this technique.

But he used his strong arms, wrists and keen eyesight to make perfect use of this unsuitable tungsten steel knife, and carved out one after another fine small pits on the grooves of the semi-finished jadeite brand. The pits were as small as possible. Moreover, the size and depth are as uniform as possible, so that the lines formed by combining dots will be extraordinarily well-proportioned and smooth, and the visual effect will be better, looking like real lines.

How realistic is it?

Only by looking closely with a magnifying glass can the structure of those lines be seen clearly.

Ordinary people can't do this at all, because of tools, materials, skills, etc., it is difficult to control the small pits so evenly and finely, but his strength, ability to control power, and observation ability are all inhuman. This is the only way to achieve such an effect.

In other words, he used micro-carving techniques to some extent when engraving these small pits, otherwise, the uncontrollable size of those small pits would affect the beauty of the carving.

So when he completed the first line made of dots, several people at the scene applauded, especially Li Lingyu, a little flatterer, praised loudly: "Brother Xu's craftsmanship is amazing, even such a You can come up with unique skills, which is unique in the carving industry."

Xu Jingxing waved his hand modestly: "It's just borrowed from the technique of porcelain carving, it's not the only one."

"That's the only one in the field of jade carving, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Haha, it's true to say so, but the honor of adding so many preconditions doesn't seem to be convincing. I'm not selling mobile phones, hahaha," Xu Jingxing solved a problem, and he was in a good mood and hacked a certain mobile phone manufacturer. One, it’s more than the 22nd century. The publicity department of a certain mobile phone manufacturer still likes to add some preconditions in front of various rankings.

Of course, he is just being modest. In fact, this kind of innovation is a rare honor to be listed anyway.

Just how to put it, unless he personally hypes it up, it will be difficult to transform it into influence or even economic benefits, and the biggest benefit is to leave such an understatement in the history of sculpture.

So he really doesn't care much about this thing, even if it can really be transformed into influence and bring direct economic benefits, he doesn't particularly care.

Why?

Very short answer, because there is no shortage.

If there is no shortage, naturally it will not be too important, just like a certain son will never care if he broke up with a certain internet celebrity girlfriend today, because he can find a new one tomorrow.

Then, he devoted himself to intense creation, and a lot of time had been wasted, and the afternoon auction was coming to an end.

After five o'clock, Ye Qing hurried into Xu Jingxing's temporary workplace and asked nervously, "How is it?"

Xu Jingxing threw the carving in his hand, "Look for yourself."

"You, can you play it safe?" Ye Qingliu raised her eyebrows, then lowered her head to check the jade plate in her hand, and after half a second, she uttered a swear word: "Damn it, what the hell is this?"

"Not good?" Xu Jingxing asked back.

"No, no, it's great, it's so beautiful, this is really jade carving? Your new carving technique? You've never seen this style of jade carving before. It's a bit like the one popular in the beeswax circle. Shen Diao, "As expected of the general manager of Jingwei Auction Company, Ye Qing has a lot of knowledge, and he can see the mystery of this jade carving at a glance.

Xu Jingxing gave a thumbs up: "Little Yezi is indeed well-informed, she can recognize and admire all of this, she indeed borrowed some of Shen Diao's creative ideas, as long as you are satisfied."

"Satisfied, so satisfied." Ye Qing was so happy that he forgot to argue with Xu Jingxing about the title "Little Leaf". He turned over and admired the sign in his hand carefully, "How did you do it? high."

"A unique secret."

"Heh," Ye Qing curled his lips, "Okay, you've passed the test, you can complete the last process, hey, this is the one who spent the most money today."

Xu Jingxing took the slip of paper and looked at it, there was name and membership number.

But he still hesitated a little, "By the way, are you sure you want to use this level of jadeite as a VIP card? Such a brand is worth a few million at least."

Ye Qing sneered, "Then do you know how much this customer 0003648 spent today?"

"How many?"

Ye Qing raised two index fingers.

"2000?"

"Two hundred million, a little more."

"Damn it?" It was Xu Jingxing's turn to be surprised this time, "It's only the first day, how did you spend so much money? You have to buy more than half of the lots, right?"

"Of course it's because today's auctions are all high-quality goods. There is never a shortage of sellers for high-quality goods. If several buyers compete, even if they only compete for three or four rounds, won't the price go up?"

"It's awesome," Xu Jingxing was basically at a loss for words. It's no wonder that in the past few years, large and small auction companies have opened up one after another, even if they close down a lot every year, there are still countless new capital invested in this industry. So profitable.

On the first day of the auction, there were customers who spent more than [-] million yuan. Based on the number of buyers who came to this auction, the total turnover might be close to [-] billion yuan?
