Especially the love for jade and jade is determined by women's nature.

When he heard that Ning Weimin said the things in the jade factory so well and thought so thoughtfully in all aspects, Jiang Nianyun immediately put the food behind her and was about to go and take a look and ask Ning Weimin to arrange it.

Although Kang Shude was a little surprised by this, he did not object.

The old man thought that buying these jade wares is indeed a thing, and it is better than spending money to stock up on food.

On this hot day, thousands of tons of grain had to be fed to insects in the end, so it would be better to buy this one. So I took the initiative to make it happen, called the director of the jade factory and made an appointment for Jiang Nianyun to visit.

In this way, when I got up early the next day, even Ning Weimin and Kang Shude accompanied Jiang Nianyun to the Beijing Jade Factory.

Not to mention, as soon as I visited the warehouse, the dazzling array of jade made Jiang Nianyun dizzy.

Especially the masterpieces made by famous masters are simply wonderful.

For example, before liberation, there was a rumor among the jade arts artists in the capital.

"Beggar, Pan Bingheng, Xiao Lajiao, Liu Deying, Xiao Zhuge, Wang Datou, despicable, He Rong."

This is not a swear word, but refers to the "Four Monsters of Beiyu" in the jade shop in the capital. Each rumor reveals its own outstanding characteristics.

These four people were later absorbed into the Beijing Jade Factory, each of whom had excellent works to keep, and they were placed in the warehouse to eat dust.

Like Pan Bingheng, the leader of the "Four Monsters", this person is devoted to carving jade, and his life is irreconcilable.

In his later years, he got the nickname "Yu Tao", which shows his obsession.

His main craftsmanship was to invent the method of collecting materials.

In 1937, the lost jade wares in the Qianlong Dynasty were used to press gold and silver wires into treasures and bring them to light. This technique was later called the "gold-inlaid jade" technique.

Nowadays, his works can still be seen in the factory, such as Jade "Waiting for the Moon West Chamber", Songshi "Er Qiao Makeup" and so on.

They are all works that combine precious materials such as gems, ivory, coral, etc., beautiful, clever and gorgeous, far from what people can imagine today.

Especially a coral "Six-Armed Buddha Locking Dragon", which is Pan Bingheng's pinnacle work.

Its artistic level is far beyond the "Coral Daiyu Playing Parrot" and "Pretty Agate-inlaided Clam Buddha" collected by the Louvre Museum in Paris, France and the Philadelphia Blog Museum in the United States. These are also masterpieces made by him.

As for Liu Deying, he was praised as the master of three-dimensional flowers in his career.

His flower works have a comprehensive three-dimensional round craft, deep and shallow craftsmanship and hollow craftsmanship, which is called "kung fu when you practice craftsmanship".

You should know that most of the flower works of jade in Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties were flat and floating, and there were very few products that combined single-piece round and hollowing, and even if there were, they were just superficial and smooth.

But Liu Deying can start to innovate by improving tools and craftsmanship skills.

He is best at making coral flowers, using the shape of multiple branches. In terms of production techniques, he often uses drilling thallium or small hook thallium to connect the branches through the stems and the flip and folding of the flowers. The three layers of flowers, leaves and stems are integrated.

Although due to the limitations of tools, you can only do one side of the dense flowers and leaves (i.e., frontal).

However, because the layout is well arranged, the flowers, leaves and stems are rolled and folded in an orderly manner and varied, the work can eventually achieve the effect of three sides of the work.

The Beijing Jade Factory has not retained many works, only "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" designed and created using a coral material with thicker main branches and less dense branches.

On one side of the bottle is a blooming peony, and on the other side is a sycamore tree with tall branches and large leaves and the branches and leaves on the bottle cap are connected to the top of the bottle.

A phoenix stood beside the sycamore tree, looking down at the gorgeous peony.

On the branches of the sycamore tree, birds form pairs, spreading their wings and leaping, like a new autumn scene.

Just this thing is extremely eye-catching among the many fine products.

Because it is too vivid and vivid, all the details are perfect expressions that people cannot imagine.

No matter how you don’t have artistic cells, you have to look carefully for a while before you can take your eyes away.

There is also Wang Shusen, the third representative of the "Four Great Monsters of Beiyu", who is famous for his "flower films" and the "weird man".

Such as Bodhidharma, Jigong, Zhong Kui, and even Qu Yuan, Li Bai.

The so-called "strange" is a manifestation of Wang Shusen's creative thoughts "a perfect result".

His "weird" is unconventional and has its own form of expression.

His works can be seen in the factory include agate "Qu Zi Xing Yin", coral "Guanyin Crossing the Sea", pine stone "Han Xiangzi", etc.

In addition, Wang Shusen also has a unique agate "pretty color" technique.

The agate "Five Gooses" he created is a classic work of "unprecedented and no one to come" made of a piece of reddish white agate. It rarely appears fourteen beautiful spots.

All five geese have red crowns, white feathers, and black pupils. They are realistic in shape, vivid in shape and rich in meaning. They are like "living goose".

This is undoubtedly a "solute product" that has been sung for all ages, and its value is immeasurable. It is a metaphor for the peaceful and prosperous era of "enough food and clothing".

The representative works of his "flower films" are still in the Jingcheng Jade Factory. Gao Cui's "Dragon and Phoenix Presents the Good Luck" and "The Heavenly Girl Scatters Flowers".

The materials of these two works are rare "beautiful jade and high-quality materials".

It is comparable to the "Birthday Picture of the Immortals" he made for the National Day gift in 1979.

You know, that work was awarded the title of national treasure and was permanently collected.

As for the last one, He Rong, he specialized in crafting figures since he was a child. He mainly focused on works of Buddha statues, and also dabbled in utensils, birds and beasts.

His works, "Flying Buddha", "Flying Buddha", "Flying Buddha" and "Imitation of Tang Buddha" are all Buddha statues with a certain level.

His female characters emphasize noble and graceful emotions.

The six-centimeter coral work "Thirteen Sisters" is a model of small materials, and has achieved the ultimate effect of using art according to your aptitude.

In short, these excellent products can only be described by the four words "Oriental Treasure".

These are all creations that have reached the pinnacle and are holy objects for worship by industry insiders. There is no possibility that they will be surpassed by future generations.

Nothing else, because modern society has interfered too much, no one can spend his whole life's energy, so focused, meticulous and undistracted pursuit of art.

So when the so-called "masters" in the future are compared with these things, they are just a scumbag.

Even if Jiang Nianyun has seen such a great world, she is refreshed and excited about these masterpieces that are beyond imagination.

But to be honest, even these are just a small part of the inventory of the two jade factories.

More are those award-winning works that participated in the selection.

Like the agate color in Beijing Jade Factory, the coral color "Harmony and Blessing" of the coral color, the lotus lantern", the coral color "Bounding Pipa Roll", the blue and white jade "Flower Furnace", the coral color "Flower Bottle", the jade color "Autumn Scenery Bottle", the agate color "Happy Eyebrow", the Xiuyu color "Crane", the Phoenix Peony", the agate "Dragon and Phoenix Good Idea", the usual "One Bottle of the Eternal", the jade "Five Blessings and Joy", the lapis lazuli animal "Renewal of All Things", the jade flower bottle "Pastoral Smell", the agate color "Amitabha Buddha", the agate flower "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum", the agate color "Mirage", etc.

There are also jade "Phistor", "Lotus Kingfisher", Xiuyu "Yellow Chicken", "Peacock", "Red Phoenix Rising the Sun", jade "Pineapple", "Crane", "Ergonote Lying on Lotus", "Three Autumn Bottle", agate "Dragon Plate", "Shrimp Plate", "Crab Plate", etc.... countless.

These are still rare and superb treasures. Any one that can be found is enough to be displayed in world-class museums.

So that's a little bit.

Jiang Nianyun and Ning Weimin took such a once-in-a-lifetime loophole.

Don’t forget that even jade factories can already sell their own products from the first few years.

But the foreigners who came to visit bought small items, and almost all the large items were left in the factory without any movement.

In the original history, except for a small part of these things were later sent to overseas auctions and were bought by foreigners.

The others were the life that was finally put on hold for decades and was finally taken into the National Museum.

As for these working people, the last group of craftsmen with real skills will soon reach retirement age.

Then such a high-level creation will soon not be available again.

So this is the real last bus.

Now is the unique acquisition opportunity.

The key is that the price is cheap, it is really a historical bottom.

When Jiang Nianyun asked the staff, two Gao Cui’s “flower films” “Dragon and Phoenix Present Auspiciousness” and “The Heavenly Girl Scatters Flowers” ​​were sold for only 15,000 yuan.

Such a low price made her unable to believe that in Hong Kong City, she could only buy a better bracelet.

In such a big treasure house, if you buy one, you can get ten or hundreds of pieces outside. Isn’t this the same as picking up money?

Well, don’t talk nonsense!

The old lady made the decision decisively and decided to follow Ning Weimin's idea.
Chapter completed!
