Chapter 52 The source of colored stone inlay

 This method is to carve the jade into a mushroom shape, insert the rod into the groove, carve the protruding parts carefully and then put them together to fit tightly. In this way, there will be no large area of ​​stones that expand with heat and shrink with cold. Then

Code each piece of jade as a physical model for future construction.

"Thank you." Zhang Guifang hugged him tightly, kissed him and said, "It will come in handy when we get to Malaysia."

Jin Huabin smiled and replied: "How can I thank you? Should I pledge myself to you?"

"Ignore you, you are not decent." She turned around and said. After the two flirted for a while, Jin Huabin drove away in her car.

The second special issue of the cultural station is about to be published again. This time the colorful stone inlay theme is much more beautiful in the picture than the last stone window theme. Seeing the sample, Webmaster Yang nodded and then shook his head again and said: "Mr.

I feel that there is something missing, but I don’t know where it is missing. By the way, the origin of the colored stone inlay is missing from the special issue. I only talk about how wonderful the work is."

It was recorded in the county annals that it came from Wenzhou. Jin Huabin went to the reference room and dug out the relevant chapters.

"You and Xiao Zhou visited Wenzhou once to find out this matter. The response to the last special issue was good. The county government allocated a special fund and we also attracted some sponsorships." Webmaster Yang described the prospect with excitement:

"It is feasible to run a special issue in the form of paid publicity."

Jin Huabin declined slowly: "The day after tomorrow is my engagement day. Can I go to Wenzhou two days late or let Xiao Zhou go?"

"Look at me, what's wrong with my memory? You told me about this a few days ago. I'll give you a few days off to spend time with her. I'm familiar with the people at the Wenzhou Cultural Station. I asked them to send someone to accompany Xiao Zhou.

Take a trip, Wenzhou people have a lot of money, maybe you can get more sponsorship." Stationmaster Yang patted his head and said to him.

The day after the engagement ended, Zhang Guifang got on a plane from Shanghai to Malaysia and took a dozen of her coworkers to go abroad to make a lot of money by exporting labor services.

Two days later, Jin Huabin received an international call. In the call, Zhang Guifang almost shouted, "Dear, did you know that the sample you gave me with a dragon inlaid on the stone slab was regarded as an antique by security when getting on and off the plane?"

Checked again and again."

Although the materials used have been aged for the sake of effect, they can be regarded as ancient artifacts and national treasures. Isn't this too outrageous? He asked anxiously: "Did you pass the test smoothly in the end?"

"We passed the customs. It was only after Chairman Ying used his connections to explain to the airport that the inspectors let us go. It is for this reason that Chairman Ying and his family were so happy that they received our group with gongs."

Jin Huabin was confused and asked: "What kind of ceremony is the gong ceremony? Isn't it just beating gongs and drums to welcome everyone in?"

It became clear after listening to Zhang Guifang’s explanation.

In addition to being used as musical instruments, gongs in Malaysia are also regarded as treasures by the local people and have unique uses. Many families have gongs, and some gongs are even handed down from their ancestors hundreds of years ago and are only used during major events.

, usually kept in a box or wrapped in a fixed place. The ceremony for people to welcome distinguished guests is unique. The way the distinguished guests pass is not covered with a red carpet, but with many gongs of similar sizes lined up in a long row.

The distinguished guests walked barefoot on the gongs one after another. If they walked faster and harder, the gongs would make a rhythmic sound, just like a musician playing music.

If the start went smoothly, everything went smoothly, and they were welcomed with the most solemn etiquette, which showed that the Ying family recognized their abilities. Jin Huabin was relieved.

After arriving at the unit, I saw that Zhou Ying had also returned from Wenzhou and was telling everyone about her interview results in the conference room. On the podium, she said with excitement: "After arriving in Wenzhou, with the help of the local cultural store

Next, I met the famous colored stone inlay craftsman Liao Chengjing and introduced that the origin of colored stone inlay is related to a local stone in Wenzhou. Luofu Township in the north of the Yangtze River in Yongning produces a soft stone suitable for carving. The locals call it "Luofu".

"Stone". Because there is Huayan Temple where the deposit is located, it was also called Huayan Stone in ancient times. Jiang Zhun of the Ming Dynasty mentioned in "Qihai Suotan" that during the Jiajing period, Zhou Yindai, the chief minister of Yongjia, mined rover stone to inlaid utensils and miscellaneous items.

Roubite is one of the pyrophyllites.

Traditional colored stone inlays are arts and crafts works that use natural pyrophyllite as material, processed into pre-designed patterns, and inlaid on mahogany, camphor wood, etc. Pyrophyllite is rich in color, and the stone is delicate and moist, making it suitable for carving and production. It

The natural color and texture give people a simple, elegant and pure feeling. Colored stone inlays can be divided into relief, high relief, engraved carving, flat grinding and flat grinding, black ground flat grinding and light colored ground grinding and flat grinding inlays, etc.

Flat grinding and flat inlaying are similar to the pointillism technique of Impressionist painting. The color separation and block division basically follow the six methods of Chinese painting, which are to classify colors according to categories and to apply colors according to categories. The works are luxurious in color, dazzling, and worthy of elegance.

The production process is to carve out the required pattern shape on the board, then embed the cut colored stone pieces into the corresponding grooves, and carve or polish the protruding stone pieces.

The advanced process is called relief inlay, and the polished process is called flat inlay. It can be achieved through drawing, hooking, arranging, engraving, calendering, matching stones, frames, filling, inlaying, engraving, pasting, polishing, waxing and other processes.

Complete. The tools used are roughly: jigsaw, cutting machine, polishing machine, grinding wheel, ruler, file, drill, pliers, hammer, tweezers, various chisels, chop axe, brush, epoxy resin, waterproof quick-drying white glue, etc.

.

At Master Liao's home, he showed me two treasures. One is a double-door drawer hidden painting cabinet. Made of camphor wood, covered with gold paint, water chestnut color, 1.5 meters high and 1.2 meters wide. The cabinet body is inlaid.

There are 6 jade figures. The two paintings on the side walls are "Mu Guiying takes command" and "Guo Ziyi meets the immortal". The two cupboard doors are two paintings "The Drunken Concubine". The two drawers below are respectively "Picture of Seeking Virtue" and "Picture of Seeking Virtue".

"Picture of a Lady", but many of the stone pieces have fallen off, and the traces are still obvious. It seems to be nearly a hundred years old. Master Liao said that he bought it back from the old furniture market for 600 yuan.

The other piece is a side profile of a woman inlaid with colored stones, made by Master Liao himself. He said that this work is 80 cm high and 60 cm wide, with a flat polished inlaid frame and was made in 1967. The author used subtle techniques

The changing warm-colored stones express the woman's radiant spirit; her hair, collar, and background are made of cooler-colored stones such as purple rock flowers and field green, with sharp color contrast. The work was probably spread to society when the art carving factory was disbanded.

According to expert estimates, this piece of work inlaid with colored stones is worth 100,000 yuan. With the consent of the owner, Master Liao took a photo to commemorate his proud work and that period of his life."

Webmaster Yang asked: "The origin issue is clear, but what about the inheritance issue? When did colored stone inlays spread to Xianju?"

***The author has something to say***

Miao Chengjin, a master of arts and crafts, a national-level intangible inheritor of colored stone inlay skills, and the director of Wenzhou Colored Stone Research Institute, has been engaged in the colored stone inlay industry for more than 60 years. In 1958, he entered the WZ City Art Sculpture Factory at the age of 16 and became a teacher.

The famous artist Wang Peizhen studied art. Main works: "Horse", inlaid flat-mounted portrait of "Chairman ***", "Battle Shooting Picture", colored stone inlaid floor screen "Kowloon Playing with Pearls", "Drunken Eight Immortals" and "Lucky"

"Jin Bao", "God of Wealth", "Dream of Red Mansions", etc.
