Chapter 453 Dismantling Jade

Chen Ran opened the box and just glanced at it. His eyes lit up and his expression became solemn. I have to say that although he hadn't looked carefully, he just looked at it and knew that this jade pendant was definitely the best jade pendant he had ever seen, although there were not many jade pendants he had ever seen.

The jade pendant in front of us is carved with a scene of a white-headed bird playing peony. The carving method used is decorated with patterns and hollow carvings. At a glance, you can see that the technique is more complicated. Of course, what is more important is the artistic conception. The liveliness and cleverness of the white-headed bird, the nobility and atmosphere of the peony are vividly and smoothly, only from this On the jade pendant, you can see the heart of the jade sculptor who carved this jade pendant. In particular, the white-headed bird in the picture gives people a sense of joy that they want to jump out of the jade pendant and fly on your shoulder to play with you, and the noble peony also seems to be waving.

After a glance, Chen Ran immediately knew that this jade pendant was a good thing. What a good way? The material of carved jade fell second, and the main reason was the artistic conception of this jade pendant.

It's just that he is a little puzzled. Although this jade pendant is good, it should still be imitated if other jade sculptors take action. Although the imitation may not be the same, as long as the artistic conception is not too far away, it will be fine. Besides, even if the jade of this jade pendant is carved The sculptor himself carved two identical jade pendants, and it is impossible to touch the same artistic conception. There must be a slight difference, which is related to the state of the jade sculptor. If the jade sculptor is in good condition, he will play well, and the quality of the carved jade is high, and it is impossible for a jade sculptor to keep it all the time when carving jade. In the same state.

"Brother Chen, can you take a look at this first?"

Maybe he saw Chen Ran's doubts, but Chang Fatty handed Chen Ran a document at this time.

Although Chen Ran was a little strange, he also took it and took a look. At this glance, he was stunned, but then suddenly became clear.

"Brother Chen, do you know this kind of jade pendant?" Seeing Chen Ran's look, Chang Fatty was surprised. He had never heard of this kind of jade pendant, and the jade sculptor raised in his company had never heard of it. Looking at Chen Ran's expression, he seemed to know it.

"Brother Chang, this is the group jade." Hearing Chang Pangzi's inquiry, Chen Ran also nodded. Speaking of this kind of jade pendant, he really knew a little about it.

It is very common to wear jade pendants in China, especially in ancient times, when the ruling class wore jade, and even it was necessary to wear jade pendants in most dynasties, because the ruling class is strict, and wearing jade pendants should be recorded in the legal policy, that is, etiquette, that is to say, if you don't wear jade pendants to travel, then It's not polite, that is, it's illegal, and the serious person will be beheaded.

And there is a fullpei, grouppei and decorative Peiyu.

The most magical and mysterious jade pendant is naturally. Quanpei is a very complex jade pendant. In ancient times, only kings could wear such a jade pendant, and it is generally worn when it is also worn during sacrifice, that is, it is specially used to worship the world.

Quanpei is a combination of Heng, huang, ju, yu, punching teeth and other combinations. Many scholars have studied and speculated about the combination method since the Song Dynasty. Because the Pei system has been lost for more than 2,000 years, it is still difficult to determine.

At present, there are only three pieces unearthed. One piece is hidden in the Fleur Art Museum in the United States. It is a gold chain dance women's jade pendant with a total length of about 42 cm. It is decorated with a gold chain through the jade dancer and the decoration, tube, teeth, etc. The two dancers have short hair covering their foreheads, have full temples, long clothes, broad belts, and dance on their heads. The teeth are in the shape of a double-headed dragon, and the end of the pendant is in the shape of a dragon, which can hang on the neck and hang in front of the chest.

This fullpei is worn by women. Two pieces of the Warring States Quanpei have also been unearthed in Hui County, Zhongyuan. Two hoes are hung on the jade, and one bran is hung under the left and right hoes, and a punching tooth is hung directly from the center, hanging between the ho and the ho.

These three pieces of fullpei are identified as fullpei, but in fact, it is just speculation, because these three pieces of fullpeipei are not in line with the classically recorded system.

That is to say, so far, no one has seen what Quanpei looks like, and everything is still an unsolved mystery, just inferred from the record.

In addition to Quanpei, there are also grouppei, which is a combination of several jade pendants. There are many unearthed in the grouppei, but the grouppeii are generally hung on the leather belt, and the documentary record of how to hang them is not specific.

There is no need to mention decorative jade pendants. Nowadays, jade pendants are generally decorative jade pendants. Decorative jade pendants include zodiac-shaped jade pendants, such as human tattoos, dragon pattern pendants, bird pattern pendants, animal tattoo pendants, etc. The most exquisite ones are hollow live ring buckle jade pendants.

The jade pendant in front of us is a group pendant. Specifically, it is also called dismantling jade, or group jade.

What is jade demolition? Not to mention the grouppeiI, that is, several pieces of grouppeiI are combined together, and the dismantling jade is also one of the grouppeiI, which is a kind of ingenuity, that is, it was originally a grouppeiI, but when it is removed from the middle or a certain dividing line, it becomes two jade pendants or three jade pendants or even more, and more importantly, whether it is two or three pieces. It's the same, but when combined, it's a jade pendant, which is not superfluous at all. This is like disassembling the Rubik's Cube as a small square, but combined together, but it's a large square. Relatively speaking, it's more difficult to dismantle jade naturally, because the jade pendant after dismantling it is combined in The jade pendant together is not a small square, but a small square, is it still called a jade pendant?

After disassembling, the jade pendant is a kind of shape and pattern, while the combined jade pendant is also a shape and pattern. Of course, dismantling jade is not a simple way to cut a piece of jade pendant from the middle, that is, the combination of the sun and the moon. To be precise, the combination of the sun and moon is also regarded as the removal of jade, but it is the simplest removal of jade, which is nothing at all. The skills can be said, the real jade dismantling, both of which are complete jade pendants after disassembly and combination, and both artistic conception and shape are different.

There is also a kind of jade pendant called organ jade. Of course, few people call it this way, but it is just described in this way. It is said that the origin of removing jade is carved according to some kind of organ in the Warring States Period.

This kind of jade demolition is just a coincidence. It was not very popular in ancient times, because jade was not because of the preciousness of jade, but from the character of jade, that is, a gentleman is as gentle as jade, and pays attention to the way of a gentleman, and this kind of jade removal is undoubtedly a strange door ** coincidence that is not done by a gentleman, so few people know it. Not to mention those who know it in modern times, Chen Ran knew that he still heard about this kind of jade pendant from Yan Ruyu. At that time, he followed Yan Ruyu to the black market. When Yan Ruyu told him about the strange jade, he told him about this kind of jade pendant, so when he saw the drawings that Chang Fatty asked him to see, he also knew that it was a kind of jade demolition. , or a kind of jade, correspondingly, you know the reason why other jade sculptors can't carve out the same jade pendants, because other jade sculptors may be able to imitate it, and even imitate the artistic conception is not much different, but if the two are combined, the pattern formed is not necessarily the pattern on the drawing.

Just like this jade pendant in front of him, only looking at this jade pendant is a picture of a white-headed bird playing with peony, but the pattern drawn by Chang Fatty's drawings is a picture full of descendants.

A single jade pendant is a white-headed bird playing peony. Needless to say, the artistic conception of this picture is generally to bless the newlyweds a hundred years of love and live a good life together. This is an engagement jade pendant. If you are not married yet, marriage also means a combination of the newlyweds.

The combination of the new couple is that the combination of two jade pendants. The jade pendant after the combination of the two jade pendants happens to be a picture full of descendants. The picture of the descendants is full of both the love of the white-headed bird and the couple.

Before and after the combination, this is undoubtedly the right scene. The design can be said to be extremely ingenious. If you take apart the two jade pendants together, it is two complete jade pendants. However, if you see one of the jade pendants alone, you can't see that it is a piece of jade, so at first I saw this jade pendant. At that time, Chen Ran didn't see it.

"Yes, Brother Chen is right. This kind of jade pendant is a group jade. I am worthy of being an in our industry. I have even studied this kind of jade pendant. If it hadn't been for someone else, I really didn't know if there was this kind of jade pendant. How about it, brother, are you sure to get it out?" Hearing Chen Ran say that this kind of jade pendant was a group of jade, Chang Fatty suddenly nodded happily. Although he didn't know whether Chen Ran could carve it out, at least it was much better than other jade sculptors, which undoubtedly gave him some more hope for Chen Ran. In a hurry, he couldn't wait to ask.

Seeing Chang Pangzi staring at himself tightly, Chen Ran smiled bitterly. He just heard of this kind of jade pendant and hasn't even seen it before. How can it be carved out? You should know that there are many skills in it, just like an inconspicuous point on a piece of jade pendant, on a separate piece or Xu is just a very ordinary point, which is very inconspicuous, but after the combination of two jade pendants, it may be the eyes of humans or animals. The eyes are naturally different from the dots. The eyes must be prominent and divine, but when this point is alone on a jade pendant, the light of this point must be covered up. How to design it requires I have figured it out. This is just one point. The eyes are still relatively simple, and the others are more complicated. It is not enough to imitate one of the jade pendants. Even if the imitation is the same on the surface, but after the combination, it may be another set of patterns.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to carve out a picture of a picture of descendants after the same combination. I'm afraid that only the jade carver who carved this jade pendant can carve it out, because only the jade carver knows the code himself.

"Well, Brother Chang, I'll try it. I'm not sure if it can be carved out. Can I give you an answer tomorrow morning? What do you think?" To be honest, Chen Ran is also very itchy about this kind of jade demolition. Although he has not been in the field of carving jade during this period of time, after all, he has worked for more than a year before. As a jade sculptor, he encounters this kind of jade pendant and naturally wants to study it.
