Wang Wanren's voice revealed a kind of excitement, saying: "However, even in his birthplace, there are not many stories left, and there is no relatively systematic storyline. Therefore, when creating the work, I designed the pictures myself.
, and referred to the story of Huang Daxian in "The Legend of Immortals" compiled by Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty, and also integrated many folk stories, and then completed the composition of the original work through creation and carving processing. There are more than 40 pieces planned, which are now completed.
I picked up the first two paintings and took them over to listen to my colleagues’ opinions.”
Director Zhang was shocked when he looked at these two works. The amount of colored stones and jade used was estimated to be several hundred kilograms, more than forty paintings. If nothing else, how many colored stones and jade were needed?
The cost is over one million yuan. I cannot afford such a high investment.
Upon seeing this, Director Huang Xiangtang smiled and explained: "It is difficult to make colored stones and jade inlays. The difficulty lies in refining the theme, composing the painting, choosing colored stones, jade materials, color matching, and the organic combination of carving and inlaying.
As for large works, it takes several years, slow work and meticulous work, coupled with high investment, no perseverance and determination, it is difficult to complete. If nothing else, let’s talk about the carving of gemstones, because the hardness is high, and it is better than your stone window.
It takes dozens to hundreds of times longer. I heard that Factory Director Wang also traveled all over the country looking for jade materials. Is this possible?"
"In order to purchase exquisite jade materials, I climbed the Kunlun Mountains, which are three to four thousand meters above sea level, and also descended into mines more than 200 meters deep, before purchasing high-quality rubies, chicken blood stones, Shoushan stones, Kunlun jade and other raw materials. Others are not the same.
Speaking of going down into the mine, there was a story at that time. After going down, there was a sudden power outage, which trapped me down there for nearly an hour. Being 200 meters underground, this hour was longer than a normal day. Fortunately, in
During this process, when I turned on my headlight, I noticed a glimmer of light in the distance. When I looked closer, I saw it was a piece of Kunlun jade. It was black and translucent. It was carefully carved and made into the work. You see, it is the one in Wong Tai Sin's eyes." Wang
Perfect Man pointed to the eyes in the stone figure. Huang Xiangtang and Director Zhang took a closer look and saw that the eyes were flowing. Wherever the person went, his eyes followed him. It seemed like they were alive. It turned out that it was the function of jade.
.
Director Zhang suddenly remembered that Wong Tai Sin, also known as Red Pine Wong Tai Sin, was originally a regional deity in the southeastern coastal areas of China and was later worshiped by Taoism. In modern times, with the increase in overseas Chinese living overseas, Wong Tai Sin belief has also spread to other countries and regions.
.Especially in Southeast Asia, the belief in Wong Tai Sin is very fervent. Maybe President Ying is one of its believers and will be interested in this work. So, I proposed it to Huang Xiangtang.
Factory Director Huang asked inquiringly: "This is a good idea. In a few days, the president will be here to communicate with the workers about the construction of the ancestral hall. Can I introduce it to you?"
"What, do you still have colored stone inlays from Wong Tai Sin here?" On the other end of the phone, President Ying's voice was very excited: "I just asked for a signature at the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong. It turns out that the happy event is in the fairy house.
Wait, okay, I'll book a plane ticket immediately and I'll be here with you in a few days. You have to tell me carefully about Wong Tai Sin."
Wong Tai Sin Temple is one of the most famous temples in Hong Kong. It is said that the Wong Tai Sin enshrined in the temple is "responsive to all requests", so the incense is very prosperous. The architectural layout of Wong Tai Sin Temple is strictly based on the divination in front of Wong Tai Sin Temple in 1937.
It is designed based on the principles of the Five Elements and Bagua: Feiying Terrace (Bronze Pavilion) belongs to gold, Sutra Hall belongs to wood, Yuye Pond belongs to water, Yuxiang Pavilion belongs to fire, and Zhaobi belongs to earth. There are reminders everywhere in the temple, Wong Tai Sin’s daily life
Worshiping mainly involves "five offerings": incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruits. Chinese people, especially those in Southeast Asia, believe in Feng Shui. After arriving in the mainland, they often burn incense when they hear about the gods. The Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong is
A place that overseas Chinese like to visit. They find common ground in Wong Tai Sin’s belief.
The two deputy directors of the Foreign Affairs Office and President Ying knew each other from the last move to the Ying Clan Ancestral Hall. This time they received the news that President Ying was interested in Wong Tai Sin colored stone inlays, and they took it very seriously.
Relevant professionals were immediately organized to accompany you.
"Magnificent, both physical and spiritual, exquisite." Facing the two samples of Wong Tai Sin's works inlaid with jade, Chairman Ying nodded repeatedly in praise and asked: "Excuse me, Director Wang, how long will it take for the work to be completed? Can it be done?"
After completion, it will be shipped to Malaysia for exhibition. I will arrange the entire cost."
Wang Wan did some mental calculation and said: "It will take another three to five years. The characters, landscapes and trees should be consistent with the reflected content, and have obvious characteristics of the times. Then color matching, cutting and pasting, then material selection, processing, cutting, carving and inlaying.
All the polishing and waxing, as well as the matching of jade colors, are done slowly and carefully."
Director Ying was even more excited after hearing this and said, "Okay, okay, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and slow work will make you appear sincere. I can afford to wait for this time. When the work is completed, I will ask the viewer of Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong to give the work
Consecration."
Most people only know that Buddhism has a consecration ceremony. In fact, Taoism also has a consecration ceremony, and the form is more grand, which means to invite the gods to enter the statue or religious artwork with spiritual power. The person in charge is usually a Taoist priest, who chants various
After the incantation, use a cinnabar pen to touch the statue or artwork. You need to choose an auspicious day for the consecration, and ask the great virtue and Taoist priest to preside over the rituals. After a series of formalities, two Taoists will open the mirror outside the temple door at the door.
The light is received and the refracted light is projected onto each of the statues. Because consecration is to guide the light of the sun, moon, and stars in nature into the temple, so that the statues enshrined in the temple
We, inherit the aura of heaven and earth, and create the well-being of all people.
The two deputy directors of the Foreign Affairs Office knew the status of Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong among religious temples, so they quickly offered tea to each other and thanked them.
"It's nothing. Who said that I and the Xianju Ying family were the same family two hundred years ago?" President Ying said humbly: "I have always had a good relationship with the Chinese in Malaysia and the religious and political circles."
This is true. The Chinese have a hard-working nature in their blood. After a hundred years of hard work, they will become wealthy businessmen and capitalists there. The proportion of Chinese in Malaysia is not high, but nearly half of the country’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of the Chinese.
Shanghua people are naturally good at managing interpersonal relationships, and their connections are spread across all walks of life.
Deputy Director Yang hurriedly asked: "President, how is your relationship with the mayor? How about we connect the two places to become sister cities?"
Sister cities emerged in Europe after World War II. It refers to a city in one country that corresponds to a city in another country, with the purpose of maintaining peace, enhancing mutual friendship, and promoting common development. After signing a formal sister city agreement, the cities of both parties actively carry out
Exchanges and cooperation in various fields such as politics, economy, science and technology, education, culture, health, sports, environmental protection and youth exchanges. This form of etiquette is particularly popular in China today.
