Chapter 443 The traditional jade seal among the root carvings [2]

"Old Li, why are you laughing? Do you think Xiao Li is wrong? Even though you only bought this Buddha statue for a few thousand yuan, if he said it is true, then it must be true." Leng Shaohua was immediately dissatisfied.

stand up.

"Hahaha, Xiao Leng, you have done something that I am very satisfied with this time. Xiao Li's analysis is indeed good, because I have specially appraised this thing, and it is exactly what Xiao Li said.

Even the seven repair marks he mentioned were spotless. I am so happy. I am so happy that a real master has emerged in the antique world." Although Lao Li lost, he was extremely satisfied and happy, and

This happiness is not fake at all.

Li Yingying, a proud woman, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at this moment. She looked down on others because she had always been better than others. However, the knowledge Li Xuan said was as unbelievable to her as if she had heard it from heaven.

She understood every word of what Li Xuan said, but when they were put together, she was confused.

Especially at the level of restoration mentioned later, the words containing artistic conception and the like made her come and go in a fog, which was very unpleasant.

"Of course, it doesn't matter who brought me here. Hehe, now you know that I am cold to someone, right?"

Leng Shaohua also started boasting immediately.

"Haha, okay, good Xiao Li, this test for you, now it seems, is an insult to you, but even if we old guys listen to your lecture, well, this time, whether you are willing or not

, you can choose one of the treasures in my collection room and treat it as a gift. As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, so I will take out my treasure and let you pick one." Lao Li said very proudly and gratifiedly,

The tone is also very sincere, especially the tone that cannot be rejected, which can be heard immediately.

"Mr. Li, since you said this, I will be disrespectful. After appraising Mr. Li's things, I will choose one that I like better to express your feelings to Mr. Li. Of course, in return, I will also

I’m giving Mr. Li a big gift.”

"Oh, what kind of gift?" Lao Li asked in surprise.

"Healthy" Li Xuan said confidently.

The reason why he agreed to what Mr. Li wanted from him was also the purpose of his visit this time. Although Zhang Wufeng's identity could not be restored for the time being, some of his abilities have not disappeared. For example, premonition, this premonition is that he understands

When I go to Mr. Li's collection room this time, I will definitely find something special, and this thing will be of great benefit to him.

It is precisely because of this that after a little calculation and calculation, Li Xuan agreed to this request.

"Xiao Li, let me write down what you just said about the restoration." Lao Li said seriously. He looked very serious at the moment. While talking, he took out a small notebook and started to record it.

"This is just a casual summary I made, and there is nothing difficult about it. The first step is to clean the dust and other attachments on the sculpture for later operations.

The second step is to clearly see the style of the carvings and the fine level of the carvings. These require the restorer to pay more attention to the observation. For example, if a character turns around, loses his hand, or has a large piece cut off, you will be able to figure out that they are men.

She is still a woman. What expressions and movements are there? What kind of headdress, what kind of clothing, and what role does she play in the whole carving. The layout of the trees, houses, animals, etc. must be seen clearly and carefully. Understand what the carving wants to express.

I mean the best and be aware of it. These are mainly to achieve the overall unified requirements after repair.

The third step is to choose the same wood as the carving, and use a wire saw to cut out the general shape of the missing part of the carving. If you are not sure, you can use a piece of cardboard to draw and cut out and connect it to the defective part of the carving, and then cut it accurately.

The painting is cut on the wood. Be particularly careful here. The wood grain of the wood that is cut out to repair the shape must be parallel to the wood grain of the carved piece.

The next step is gluing. After the damaged part of the carved piece is correctly connected to the sawed wood, bamboo rivets and glue can be used for large pieces. For small pieces, irregular vertical and horizontal grooves can be carved at the interface between both sides to facilitate bonding.

.Use 502 glue and very fine wood powder for bonding. It has a fast bonding speed and can be carved immediately after bonding.

As for carving, according to the previous observations and ideas, carve according to the style of the old carving. If possible, try not to change the old carving and style. The fine carving should not exceed the old carving, and the rough carving should not exceed the old carving. This is the key

Make sure you grasp it well, otherwise it will be very obvious like a lighthouse in the dark...

Finally, it was polished and colored, but retro coloring is also very important...

These are relatively crude methods. The key is to grasp the value. Why? Because if you cherish the wood carving, you will not dare to repair it confidently because you are afraid of damaging it. This will inevitably make you feel uncomfortable. But if you do it, most of it will be wrong.

It gets worse as it gets worse, and a certain level of processing is required.

It is said that most people who know antiques know how to make fakes. In fact, it is not about making fakes, but because knowing antiques means you have a real understanding and grasp of this aspect, and you will be able to make fakes easily.

…”

While Li Xuan was smiling and talking, he followed Lao Li into one of the rooms in his villa that had very strict anti-theft measures.

Walking into this room, Li Xuan even felt as if he had entered a research institute. It seemed that Lao Li was quite satisfied with his collection.

As soon as he walked into this room, Li Xuan felt a different kind of shock, because he captured a special energy fluctuation in an instant. This kind of energy fluctuation could not be felt by ordinary people, even in the Sky City.

Strong people can't feel it either, because this kind of energy fluctuation is dragon energy.

In other words, there are imperial supplies here

The emperor, the Nine-Five Supreme, and the destined emperor still have great potential if the feng shui dragon veins of ancient times are not broken.

Li Xuan's eyes instantly glanced at the porcelain, wood carvings, calligraphy and paintings, strange stones and other things in the collection room, and then his eyes fell on a small face plate and large root carving among them.

Seeing Li Xuan's eyes, Lao Li immediately smiled.

Yes, his favorite thing is also root carving. Why should I say it? He always feels that when old people return to their roots and fallen leaves return to their roots, it is a kind of destination. And he always has a special feeling for root carvings.

Among Tibetan friends, he is unique among those who like root carving.

"The art of root is a unique plastic art that combines ingenuity and harmony of nature and man. I never expected that Xiao Li, you also like root carving." Lao Li said very pleased.

"Haha, yes, root carving uses various root material forms with natural beauty to create colorful and beautiful images, allowing people to obtain different aesthetic feelings and aesthetic ideals. As a kind of plastic art, root art art has

Its distinctive and unique aesthetic characteristics.

Genyi art, like painting, reflects real life by shaping static visual art images. Discovery and creation are their main characteristics. The so-called discovery and creation are the expression of form. For plastic arts, appreciators all use visual

Appreciation of artistic forms existing in space is their common aesthetic feature..."

Li Xuan said with a smile, and then he approached the root carving.

The reason why he pays attention to the root carving is not because of its artistry, its sense of vicissitudes, or because he likes the root carving, but because there is something inside the root carving.

"As a three-dimensional plastic art, root art can only express a moment of behavior. In order to obtain vivid and concrete aesthetic effects, it always expresses its past and future in static shapes. This is what is commonly called root art.

The dynamic beauty of art. Dynamic movement allows the root art image to express spirit and life. The creation of the root art art work 'Makong Jibei' is an example of this." Lao Li stroked the root carving in front of him with a saying in his tone.

Incredible admiration.

"'Makong Jibei' uses the natural form of tree roots to create the image of a man riding a horse and galloping forward. The horseman is holding the reins tightly with both hands, his hair is flying, the man and the horse are equally powerful, and they are galloping naturally, just like a horse flying in the sky.

.This is the most saturated moment in the movement process, when the power of people and horses reaches the greatest explosion. Although it is a still moment in the movement process, this static state makes the viewer feel a series of action processes. As Mr. Chang Renxia wrote in a poem

It is said: 'Drinking horses from the Great Wall Grotto, spreading their hair in the flowing water, standing up to open up the earth, and crossing the Yellow River in the wind and rain.' This is why Genyi art uses static shapes to express movement, which is the unity of opposites between static and dynamic." Li Xuan said.

"Awesome Xiao Li, since you like this root carving so much, you can choose whatever I just said. Didn't you agree?" Lao Li said excitedly.

He felt that he was Yu Boya and Li Xuan was Zhong Ziqi. These were his close friends in Gaoshanliushui whom he hated to meet so late.

Today's conversation made him feel extremely happy both physically and mentally.

Hearing this, Li Xuan nodded and said, "Mr. Li, this thing is quite valuable."

"I bought this thing for only 300,000 yuan. It doesn't matter. If you want it, just take it. If I really talk about it, I can go to your place to watch it. It's okay."

Old Li said boldly.

"What do you want this for? Xiao Li, take the luminous pearl. The big one. This old guy has two luminous pearls." Leng Shaohua said unceremoniously.

"Ahem, this, Night Pearl, Night Pearl, Xiao Li, do you want it?" Old Li's voice rarely trembled.

Obviously, it would be heartbreaking to give away the Night Pearl.

"Mr. Li, I want this root sculpture." Li Xuan picked up the root sculpture, tried the weight, and was immediately satisfied.

He cannot use crystal power, but his internal energy has reached the level of transforming energy. Although it is not as easy to use as crystal power, in terms of control and induction, with the ability to use crystal power, it is not a problem to barely use it for a while.

.

The internal energy was brewing, and after careful sensing for nearly three minutes, Li Xuan finally sensed that inside the carving, there was a square jade block like a jade seal, but this jade was fake. The highlight of this jade was that it

Inside the jade, there is an ancient silk treasure map, which marks the location of the real jade seal passed down from the country.

Sensing this scene, Li Xuan knew that if there was a national jade seal, then if he got this thing, he could repair the damaged dragon veins, at least two layers

Then at least two dragon auras can be the guardians of his body

This is a sure-profit deal. The key is the location of the things in this treasure map.

Li Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, stared at the root carving, and quietly made some calculations in his heart.

Based on the comparison of ancient and modern locations, Li Xuan deduced that this imperial seal should be in an underground cemetery somewhere in Jinan.

After careful calculation, this place should be in the area of ​​Fangda Research Institute

After confirming this result, Li Xuan's heart moved.

"If you want the Luminous Pearl, it's okay. We old guys are not short of money. It's just because the Luminous Pearl is so rare that it becomes precious. Don't worry about it." Lao Li's tone became serious instead, with a very serious tone in his words.

Sincere charm.

"Mr. Li, I really like this carving, this is it. Later, after I have appraised all the treasures here, I will give you acupuncture treatment." Li Xuan said with a smile and a respectful tone.

"Haha, okay" Mr. Li became happy when he said this.

"Acupuncture? Li Xuan, do you also know how to do acupuncture?" Li Yingying glanced at Li Xuan in surprise.

"Of course I will," Li Xuan said seriously.

"Can you let me see your needle?" Li Yingying said thoughtfully.
