Play treasure master

Chapter 174
Yu Yao waited to go through the formalities, and finally got this bamboo arm rest.In addition to the brocade box, Tianhe Auction House also provided a strong cloth bag.

During the period, Xie Zhihao avoided Yu Yao and made a phone call, presumably to communicate with Zhonggu Shenhua.He told Yu Yao before that he helped Zhonggu Shenhua shoot the Bronze Town, but he didn't come back until 10 minutes later, and he didn't know what he said.

"It's already past lunch time, should you treat me to this meal?" Xie Zhihao called out as soon as he came back.

Yu Yao nodded immediately.Thanks to being with Xie Zhihao this time, otherwise he would not have been able to photograph this bamboo arm rest.

This incident also made him feel that he should get a number plate. What if this happens again at the auction?He didn't want to go to the porcelain market in the afternoon, because he had seen the preview, but he would still be there for tomorrow's jade dove bird and his own two things the day after tomorrow.

However, this is easy to handle.Now, invite Xie Zhihao to dinner first, "Let's go, you decide the place."

"Look for a restaurant that serves roast meat. I haven't eaten it since I've been out for so long." Xie Zhihao rubbed his stomach.

There is a reason why Xie Zhihao is so fat. He ate a lot of Western food last night; he is really hungry now, Yu Yao didn't eat a few pieces of a roast goose, and he killed all the rest. There are others.

After dinner, Xie Zhihao said that he would also go to the porcelain market in the afternoon, and Yu Yao pushed that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Xie Zhihao blinked his small eyes, "There's no mystery to this bamboo arm rest, right? Are you going to get rid of the bamboo when you go back?"

"When you talk about mystery, don't bring 'right'. How can this bamboo board be solved? We both looked at the porcelain at the time, and we knew that there was nothing missing when we looked at the auction price."

"Damn, you can't just want to pick up leaks?"

"It's really a bit tired."

Separated from Xie Zhihao from the hotel, Yu Yao returned directly to Geguzhai.

He didn't close the shop door either, and sat behind the counter, put the brocade box with bamboo arms on the counter, and opened it to look.If someone comes, it can be easily placed in the cabinet under the counter.

This bamboo arm rest is a handed down item, the patina is very thick, it has become a deep reddish yellow color, and some places are even slightly transparent, a bit jade-like, it must have been cherished by the owner when it was handed down.

At this moment, he took a closer look, and Yu Yao naturally understood that the silver wraps on both ends were younger than he imagined, and they should have been wrapped in the period of the Republic of China.

Originally seen on the big screen, this bag of silver has no ornamentation and the craftsmanship is very simple, but when you hold it in your hand and take a closer look, the so-called simple and simple, it seems simple, but it hides fine processing.

Where the silver edge and the bamboo board meet, there is a slight bevel treatment. The whole touch can not be said to have no seam feeling, but the hand feel is relatively smooth.

And the four silver horns are handled properly.It's too sharp, too sharp, too blunt, and loses the overall aesthetic.

Silver-covered collectors seem to really love this arm rest. The silver and bamboo colors match very well, and the craftsmanship is extremely delicate.

But there is also a problem with what he does.

Yu Yao already felt it, the silver cladding at both ends looked tight, but when he exerted force on his hands, the silver cladding was a little loose.

Silver is metal, and bamboo is wood, which expands with heat and contracts with cold, and the changes are different.The person who collected the bamboo arm rest and covered with silver may not have changed when he held it, but after so many years, it is no longer so close.

Moreover, if the silver edge falls off in the future, the bamboo color at both ends will be different from the bamboo color at other places, and it will have to be rewrapped.

Yu Yao suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.Thinking in my heart, I grabbed the silver edge in my hand, and subconsciously pulled it out forcefully.

As a result, after pulling it out, the silver edge or silver sleeve at one end was actually pulled out!

Fortunately, there is no damage, so I really need to be more careful in the future.

Yu Yao looked at the exposed end of the bamboo board, the color is indeed much lighter, it really doesn't look good if it's so exposed.

Yu Yao picked up the silver edge, ready to put it on again.

Although it can be pulled off, it is not so easy to put it on again, so you have to be careful with it.Facing the convex part of the front, it is not easy to fit, so Yu Yao turned it over again, so that the concave part of the curvature faces upwards.

It doesn't matter if you flip it over, Yu Yao suddenly discovered that there is actually a row of small characters engraved horizontally!Deep into the bamboo muscle.

Flowing clouds and flowing water, handsome and elegant.

If you want to write on paper, running script is smoother than regular script, but if you want to carve characters on bamboo with a carving knife, running script is much more difficult than regular script!Where the strokes are connected, it is often difficult to engrave them continuously, so the knife has to be cut again, but once the strokes are broken, the strokes are easy to break.

But it can be seen that this row of books is not only beautiful, but also engraved character by character instead of stroke by stroke. What a profound skill!
In a moment of excitement, Yu Yao read out: "Cheng Qi is a puppet with a pillow on his wrist!"

"Huh? What does this mean? It doesn't make sense!"

Yu Yao slapped his head, hey, this excitement made him dizzy, how could the ancients carve from left to right?Read it backwards!

It should be: Occasionally make a wrist pillow in one go!

A wrist pillow is just an arm rest, just another way of saying it.

Judging from the knife workmanship of the lettering, this should be the author!
It seems that he seldom makes wrist pillows, but makes many other products, so it is an "occasional work"; at the same time, he is obviously very satisfied;

Yu Yao got the idea, put down the piece of silver, immediately rubbed his hands to warm up, and went to cover the silver edge on the other end.

After covering it for a while, I stretched it with my hands and began to pull it out.

Otherwise, there is a saying that goes, "If you plant flowers with intention, they will not bloom, but if you do not care to plant willows and willows to make shade", it seemed easy to pull out the silver edge at one end just now, but now I really want to pull it out, but it is a bit laborious.

He didn't dare to be too reckless, so he could only cover it while pulling it out, and finally it was pulled out normally.

There are still no characters on the front, but on the reverse side, there are four, seal script, forming a Tian character, like a seal without a border.

Sansong juvenile sign.

"I said who has such an amazing level! So it's Zhu Sansong, a master bamboo carver!" Yu Yao slapped the counter and blurted out.

Zhu Zhizheng, named Sansong, was born in Jiading in the Ming Dynasty.

The bamboo carvings of the Ming Dynasty were headed by Jiading; the bamboo carvings of Jiading were crowned by Sanzhu.

San Zhu, three generations of grandparents, are all masters of bamboo carving in the Ming Dynasty.Zhu He, named Songlin, his son Zhu Ying, named Xiaosong; Zhu Zhizheng, Zhu He's grandson and Zhu Ying's son, named Sansong.

Even though he is ranked at the bottom of the three Zhu, it is because of seniority, there is no way.In terms of the level of bamboo carving, Sansong is still higher than Zhuhe and Zhuying.

Zhu He mainly created unique techniques, while Zhu Ying was mainly good at statues of gods and Buddhas. Zhu Zhizheng's generation is the master, especially landscapes. Zhu Zhizheng is obviously better than his grandfather and father.

It was also Zhu Zhizheng whose works received wide attention, and apprentices came one after another, making Sanzhu famous far and wide.

Sansong and Zhu Zhizheng have works handed down from generation to generation, most of which are pen holders, which are collected by the Huaxia History Museum and the Palace Museum.

However, Yu Yao has never seen the auction records of his works, and there is no public recognition of his works.

　Have a great weekend everyone.
