Xiao Yu did not hide his ignorance at all, "How to talk about carving? Is there any difference between carving and relief?"
Jinlong learned carving, and when asked a question, he said, "Carving is a form of sculpture. That is, on the basis of relief, hollowing out the background part, and then wood, stone, ivory, jade, ceramic body, etc. can be used to carve.
A technique of carving various patterns and patterns on the materials. Carving is more difficult than relief. Craftsman requires extremely high craftsmanship to complete the carving of raw materials. Carving on ivory is very difficult.
But there is another kind of carving that is more challenging, that is, hollowing out walnuts. When I was a child, I tried to hollow out a walnut when I followed my master to learn carving skills. But the texture of the pits on the plants will often hinder your art.
To play, you need to carefully consider it so that you can portray the image you want."
"I understand." Xiao Yu's resentment just now was wiped out and he said seriously.
"So, craftsmanship is very important among snuff bottles. There is a craftsmanship method of carving on snuff bottles, and another skill "inner painting" can also be used to maximize its performance on snuff bottles."
Speaking of inner painting, Xiao Yu became interested, "I understand this. Inner painting is a unique traditional craft in China. Its production is inseparable from the success of highly transparent glass refining and the success of the venting technology. Inner painting
The method is to use a specially made deformation brush to draw a meticulous picture in a pot made of glass, crystal, amber and other materials. I have seen a snuff bottle painted inside."
"Oh, then do you know the four major schools of inner painting art?" Jin Long said in surprise at Xiao Yu,
"It seems to be divided into four major schools: Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong." Xiao Yu said in contemplation. "It seems that the four schools of snuff bottles all originated in Beijing, so the history of the Beijing school is the oldest. As the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, China's Ming and Qing dynasties
The imperial capital of the dynasty, Beijing is also the birthplace of inner snuff bottles. Inner painters usually draw on the profound cultural heritage of Kyoto and gradually form the Beijing-style art style with both poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal."
"Not bad." Li Yifeng also looked at Xiao Yu with admiration.
Some time ago, Li Yifeng felt that Xiao Yu was ignorant and always schemingly pleased Jin Long and Cai Shida, hoping to use this to protect his position in Guxiangzhai.
But today, from Xiao Yu's provocation of Wang Ding to his understanding of this snuff bottle, it all shows that Xiao Yu has made progress.
Jin Long was very satisfied and immediately showed good feelings and recognition for Xiao Yu. "You are right. The Jing School was the earliest art school. The origin of the Lu School was because Bi Jiurong, an inner painting artist from Shanzuo, came to
The development developed after Beijing #Beijing returned to Bo# Mountain. The most distinctive thing about the Lu School is that it can use the glaze used on porcelain to paint on the inner wall of the snuff box, and the same is true for the Ji School, which combines a variety of art into one.
It is unique and rewarding. Because of its small size, it is easy to carry and collect, and has won the love of the world. The last Guangdong school is a young faction, which is famous for its bright colors and decorative style. The representative is Wu Songling."
When the golden dragon was so happy that Xiao Yu and Wang Ding became more knowledgeable. But at this time, Mu Tianlan's cold voice came from the sandalwood sofa.
"I said, are you appreciating snuff bottles or popularizing the knowledge of snuff bottles here? Since I took it, I still haven't said one or two or three."
Jinlong was full of energy and passion. Mu Tianlan poured this basin of water, and Jinlong immediately choked and blushed his cheeks.
Li Yifeng was displeased at this time and said, "Xiao Mu, why are you talking? Aren't we telling Xiao Yu and Wang Ding about the knowledge of snuff bottles? Appreciation is just a thing, but we have to learn from it and tell how to use this snuff bottle.
Appreciate this kind of thing. You can’t learn it, but you don’t hinder others’ learning.”
Mu Tianlan didn't agree with Li Yifeng's statement. After blanching his eyes at Li Yifeng, he lowered his head to continue reading his novel.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Although Li Yifeng overwhelmed Mu Tianlan's momentum on the surface, Mu Tianlan's coldness made everyone feel that Li Yifeng was defeated.
Moreover, Jinlong didn't know whether he should continue to say the next thing or just make the final decision on the snuff bottle.
"Brother Jin," Wang Ding's voice broke the quiet for a few seconds. "When I received this treasure, I also liked his material and craftsmanship, but I couldn't see the specific age of this snuff bottle.
I know that the imitation technology is very superb now, but the old color of this snuff bottle does not look like an imitation. So I think it should be a treasure from the Qing Dynasty. But I heard that the snuff bottles from the Daoguang period were of no value.
so…"
"Haha," Jin Long smiled faintly, "Are you saying you are worried that this is a snuff bottle from the Daoguang era and it has no value?"
"Yes." Wang Ding said frankly.
Jin Long shook his head quickly, "No. Wang Ding, you're wrong. Why do you have to know the specific age of this snuff? Regarding the identification of snuff bottles, I think that more important than the age, it is its material.
The quality of the snuff bottle depends entirely on the quality of the snuff bottle, the thickness of the painter and workmanship, and it has little to do with the age of origin and the owner of the production. Think about it, if the material is correct
It is rare and has a very ingenious workmanship. No matter when it was produced or whoever it was made, it will always be praised and is also the best. On the contrary, the materials are ordinary and the workmanship is average, even in the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties.
It was made for Emperor Kang and Emperor Yong, and it was worthless without imperial identification."
"oh?"
Wang Ding was confused. For antiques, era is a reflection of its vitality and value. Although craftsmanship and material are important, Wang Ding thinks era should not be underestimated.
Sure enough, after Jin Long finished speaking, Mu Tianlan made a sharp voice on the sofa. "Brother Jin Long, I don't know if I have the right to say a few words? But I really have different opinions on your statement, so I won't wait for you.
Agree, just say it.
First of all, I am sure that the age of this snuff bottle is very important. Secondly, its shape, material, transparency, and carving also occupy a very important appreciation part. Ivory was originally relatively scarce, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was even more unique to the royal family.
Some precious categories. The snuff bottles they make are very close to the craftsmanship and are ingenious. Later, they developed into the people, but they are also unique to the wealthy families. In other words, if it can be inferred from its era, the snuff bottles
The value of the year will naturally be recognized. We cannot give up the inference of the age at all."
Both sides had their own opinions, and the atmosphere was awkward again. This time, Mu Tianlan even issued a direct declaration of war on Jin Long.
Jinlong didn't necessarily reply, but he could only hear the door creaking, and Cai Shida in the inner room came out.
