Chapter 175: Flying Heaven Seal
With Yang Jing and Princess looking at each other with puzzled eyes, Jiang Bin rushed into the inner room with great enthusiasm. After a while, he walked out with the piece of Hetian white jade material.
This piece of material has been completely wiped out. The jade is very delicate, with a grease luster, a very soft feeling, and a strong moisturizing feeling. Although it cannot be matched with the top-level extra-grade mutton fat jade white jade, it definitely has reached the next-level mutton fat jade white jade level.
No matter from any aspect, this huge piece of white jade is a very top-notch material, especially for such a large body, which is extremely rare.
If it weren't for the jade being untied from a huge Gobi material by Yang Jing, he wouldn't believe that there would be such a huge collection-grade white mutton fat jade in this world.
What is most amazing is that the shape of this piece of white jade is really special. Because this huge piece of white jade with mutton fat actually has a nearly standard rectangular shape!
This is naturally formed, not a shape that only appears after manual carving. Most mutton fat white jade has irregular shapes, and this surprisingly large piece of mutton fat white jade actually takes such a standard rectangular shape, which is really rare.
Even the princess was attracted by this huge piece of mutton fat jade.
"Yang Jing, don't tell me that such a big piece of jade is real white jade with mutton fat!" The handsome little face of Ge Ge was shocked. Compared to the jade carvings just now, the huge white jade brought the girl to a greater shock.
Yang Jing shrugged and said, "Actually, this jade itself should be bigger. It was because I accidentally cut off the lower half when I was calculating, which made the jade shorter by about eight centimeters."
When Jiang Bin heard Yang Jing say this, even Jiang Jing was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at Yang Jing.
"You boy is so embarrassed to say! Your inadvertent knife really ruined this jade! Fortunately, the remaining half is big enough, otherwise you boy will become a sinner."
Yang Jing was embarrassed and stuck out his tongue, not daring to answer the words of the jade carving master.
Seeing that Yang Jing was well-behaved, Jiang Bin did not pursue it anymore, but asked: "Xiao Yang, look at what kind of ornament this piece of Hetian jade is better?"
Yang Jing shook his head stupidly. He really knew nothing about the jade carving.
However, the princess next to him suddenly spoke: "I think this piece of jade is a very good jade seal with a little carved texture. If it is carved with dragon buttons or glass tiger buttons, it should be very good, right?"
Yang Jing looked at his girlfriend in surprise, while Jiang Bin laughed and gave a thumbs up at the princess.
"Actually, when I wiped out this piece of material completely, I sighed that the shape of this piece of material was so magical. If it was used to carve a jade seal, it would almost never need to be decorated."
After a pause, Jiang Bin said, "Xiao Yang, do you know what is the most valuable and most valuable cultural relic in our Chinese history?"
Yang Jing blinked and was a little confused. The scope of Jiang Bin's question covered too wide. The five thousand years of history in China, the precious cultural relics have gone to the sea, but to talk about the most expensive one...
A noun suddenly popped up in Yang Jing's mind, "Uncle Jiang, do you mean the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?"
Jiang Bin nodded with satisfaction, with a sensible expression on his face.
"That's right, when it comes to the most valuable, most precious and most precious cultural relic in the five thousand years of China's history, I think the most valuable, most precious and most precious cultural relics is the imperial seal that has been missing for nearly 800 years."
Yang Jing asked, "So, do you want to use this piece of jade to carve a jade seal?"
Jiang Bin nodded and said, "At the beginning, I really wanted to use this piece of material to carve a 'National Jade Seal'. Even if it was imitated, it would be inestimable to carve a jade seal with such a huge piece of Hotan mutton fat white jade."
"But Uncle Jiang, the size of this piece of jade material does not match the size of the imperial seal. According to the academic research on the dimensions of the imperial seal, it is believed that it is 'four inches square and three inches and six inches high', and there is almost no objection to this size. Each foot of the Qin Dynasty was equivalent to 23.1 cm in the modern era, so the size of the imperial seal was equivalent to 9.24 cm square and about 8.3 cm high. Our jade material is too big."
Yang Jing was right. After all the jade materials were rubbed out, they were about 12 cm square, but the height was nearly 22 cm. Even if they were cut from the middle, they were enough to carve two jade seals.
"Yes, it is precisely because of this reason that I have never cut it. I think a simple dragon button or a glass tiger button is no longer enough to reflect the value of this piece of jade material. And if it is a carved dragon button or a glass tiger button, it will be too much damage to this piece of material, and I can't bear to leave it alone!"
The so-called dragon buttons or glass tiger buttons are all types of seal buttons, and the seal button is a carving with holes at the top of the seal.
It is said that the missing jade seal of the kingdom is covered with glass buttons.
But no matter what kind of printing button it is, whether it is a dragon button, a glass tiger button, or other phoenix button, turtle button, or fish button, as long as the printing button is engraved, a lot of jade meat will inevitably be removed. This is definitely a great loss for this piece of jade material that was originally close to a rectangular body.
Jiang Bin smiled and said, "I was always hesitating because of the button printing problem whether I should carve this material into a jade seal, but today I saw your girlfriend, and I suddenly had a better choice."
"Xiao Yang, this piece of jade material is very valuable. After being carved into jade carvings, it will be even more valuable. It is enough to be called a national treasure. However, this piece of material belongs to you after all. No matter what I carve into, it will eventually belong to your personal collection. It is precisely because of this reason that I just had an idea, that is, why don't I carve your girlfriend's expression on this piece of jade material? Haha, I don't plan to make this piece of jade seal anymore. Anyway, this thing has no inheritance. Even the jade seal made of 3A collection-level mutton fat jade is just a counterfeit. I plan to make you a huge plain seal, and you can choose the seal yourself. As for the four sides of the seal, I plan to carve the four-sided flying sky hollow jade paintings with carving techniques, and finally make this plain seal a beautiful flying sky seal. Xiao Yang, what do you think?"
When Yang Jing heard this idea, he thought it was very good. First of all, if this piece of jade is made into a plain seal, because there is no seal button, the integrity of this piece of jade can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Secondly, if the image of the princess is used as a blueprint to carve into a hollow jade painting of Dunhuang Feitian, it must be very beautiful.
The most important point is that once the seal is carved, it is unique to you. If nothing unexpected happens, the princess will eventually become his wife, and carve it on the seal that belongs to her own. What a meaningful thing!
Thinking of this, Yang Jing looked at the princess again. Sure enough, the princess also understood the truth, and his face was a little red and nodded at Yang Jing.
