: It’s August and I’m asking for support again at the traffic light~~~~ The more caring you are, give me whatever you have..
Yu Fei didn't lie. He really didn't do much research on chicken blood stone, and he couldn't even say he was involved in it. In fact, let alone chicken blood stone, because he had been in the industry for a short time, Yu Fei didn't know much about many categories of antiques and cultural relics. But because
With his amazing performance, Ouyang Xia and Lin Xiaoxi would only think that he was being modest.
Yu Fei didn't want to explain more, so he picked up the stone and took a look. The stone was not big, about twenty centimeters high, about the same length and width, about seven or eight centimeters, and its shape was irregular. At first glance, it looked ordinary.
, nothing surprising at all.
Lin Xiaoxi spent more than 100 yuan to buy such a stone, and it seemed like he had picked it up. It was really strange.
It is indeed a piece of raw chicken blood stone. Wang Qiucheng nodded and said. Although it is generally not suitable for others to talk when others are appraising, Wang Qiucheng and Yu Fei are familiar with each other, and Yu Fei is Wang Qiucheng's junior.
Therefore there are not so many taboos.
Wang Qiucheng has been in the industry for a long time and has dabbled in many aspects, including chicken blood stone.
Out of boredom, Yu Fei guided a stream of chaotic energy into the rough stone, and was stunned by what he saw.
Because he saw a bright red patch, as bright as blood, gathering together but not dispersing, and the layers were very thick. What was even more strange was that Yu Fei seemed to feel that the red color seemed to be still flowing, and it looked very alive.
Although he had never come into contact with bloodstone, Yu Fei was fascinated in an instant. The beauty of bloodstone and his attraction to Fei were not inferior to jade.
Teacher Wang, please teach me how to read illiteracy. What's going on with this chicken-blood stone? Yu Fei carefully put down the stone and asked. He had already made up his mind to get some top-quality chicken-blood stones to play with.
The old man can't speak well, so let's ask Miss Lin Xiaoxi to speak. Despite her young age, she is an expert in this field. Wang Qiucheng waved his hand and said. He wanted to create an opportunity for Yu Fei and Lin Xiaoxi to communicate.
Teacher Wang, I'm afraid I can't speak well. Lin Xiaoxin said shyly.
Just say what you know. Don't be afraid of saying something wrong. Teacher Wang encouraged me.
Since Teacher Wang said so, I will say it, but if I am wrong, please correct me. Lin Xiaoxi said humbly: There is a beautiful legend about chicken blood stone. In ancient times, a pair of beautiful phoenixes were in heaven.
While flying, I heard lamentations from time to time. When I looked down, I saw a plague of locusts. The plague was prevalent, the crops did not grow, desolation was everywhere, and the people were miserable. Seeing this, the kind and righteous Phoenix decided to use his own power to eliminate the locusts.
Drive away the plague and help the living beings. Through hard work, the good wishes came true. The grateful people asked Phoenix to stay and bathe in morning songs and evening songs together. Phoenix was moved by the sincerity of the people and built a building on the top of a mountain.
Fenghuang Marsh lived in it. Soon, all the rocks around Fenghuang Marsh became white and transparent, like white jade, and Yuyan Mountain got its name from this. On Yuyan Mountain, all the birds sang together, and the people at the foot of Yuyan Mountain lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Not to mention, Lin Xiaoxi really has a talent for telling stories, and a simple legend seems very moving in her mouth.
But at this moment, a pair of powerful birds and lions came from the mountain. When they saw the Phoenix nesting on such a beautiful mountain, creating such brilliant achievements, and being favored by the people, they became jealous, so they decided to drive the Phoenix away.
Go and occupy Phoenix Marsh. One day, when the female phoenix entered the incubation period and the male phoenix went out to look for food, he sneaked into the phoenix nest and attacked the female phoenix. The female phoenix fought bravely. The battle between the phoenix and the lion made the Yuyan Mountain tremble.
The sun and the moon were dim. When the male phoenix returned to the nest, the female phoenix had one of its legs pecked off by the lion. Her blood spread on Yuyan Mountain, and even the phoenix egg was cruelly trampled to pieces by the bird and lion. In the end, the phoenix defeated the bird and lion, with tears in her eyes.
After burying the phoenix eggs that had been trampled by innocent people, they soared into the sky. The people were deeply saddened by the departure of the phoenix. They prayed to the sky and asked the gods to protect the righteous phoenix. The sincerity of the people and the blood cry of the phoenix moved heaven and earth. The Jade Emperor sent the crown prince
He went down to earth to inspect the actual situation, and asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to turn the phoenix blood and phoenix eggs into beautiful elixirs, and endowed the elixirs with the power to turn evil into good luck, exorcise evil and promote good, punish evil and spread love. From then on, the Phoenix on Yuyan Mountain
Blood and phoenix eggs have been buried for tens of millions of years and have become today's rare and precious chicken blood stone. Chicken blood stone was originally called phoenix blood stone. This is because later generations discovered its color and freshly slaughtered chicken blood dripping on jade when mining.
Because it is similar, it is called chicken blood stone.
After listening to Lin Xiaoxi's words, Yu Fei was a little dumbfounded. He was not a girl. He didn't believe in the legend of chicken blood stone and had no interest at all. However, Lin Xiaoxi was very immersed in the story, and he couldn't interrupt it, so he had to be patient.
Just listen patiently.
Finally, Lin Xiaoxi finished telling the legend and started talking about chicken blood stone.
Chicken blood stone is composed of two parts: earth and blood. To evaluate chicken blood stone, first of all, look at the red color of the blood, which is better when it is fresh and thick. When fresh, it is as red as dripping blood; when it is condensed, it gathers together but does not disperse; when it is thick, it means it is thick, layered and deep.
In the stone layer. In addition, the texture of the bloodstone is also an important basis for judging the bloodstone. The texture is what kind of stone the red color is dyed on. The texture of the bloodstone is pure and translucent, without nails and the bright red color of blood is the top grade.
.Teacher Wang doesn’t know if what I said is right or not.
Lin Xiaoxi was a girl after all. She spent a lot of time telling the legend of chicken-blood stone, but she only skimmed over the tasting of chicken-blood stone, which left Yu Fei with unfinished enjoyment.
At this time, Ouyang Xia spoke. She was an expert in jade and had done some research on chicken blood stone.
The texture of chicken blood stone is fine, tough, and the structure is tight. It will not collapse under the knife. There are three major reasons that affect the quality of chicken blood stone. The first is the color of blood: the color of chicken blood stone ranges from bright red to the most expensive, followed by vermilion and dark red. The bright red ones are the worst.
It is called live blood; dark red blood is called dead blood because it resembles coagulation; the second is blood volume; generally speaking, those with a bright red blood content greater than 30% are high-end products, those greater than 50% are fine products, and those greater than 70% are treasures, and the higher the blood content, the higher the blood content.
The better, if it is all blood, then it is a piece of cinnabar rather than chicken blood stone. As for the finished seal, the one with blood on six sides is the top grade, called Mantanghong; the one with blood on four or five sides is genuine; the one with blood on three or two sides is the second best.
, those with blood on one side are inferior. The last one is the blood shape; there are three types of blood: star-shaped spots, strips of blood, and blood clots. There is no absolute advantage or disadvantage among these three blood shapes.
The evaluation should grasp the distribution characteristics of blood in the stone. If the clouds resemble fog and form abstract graphics, the value of the bloodstone will increase.
Ouyang Xia's explanation gave Yu Fei a preliminary idea about chicken blood stone.
However, Ouyang Xia seemed to be addicted and continued: Teacher Wang also said just now that this is a piece of chicken blood stone, but judging from the texture on the surface of the stone, it is not a piece of Changhua chicken blood. It should be Bahrain chicken blood from Inner Mongolia.
.
Aren't all chicken-blood stones from Changhua? Qi Zhi asked strangely. He had followed Qi Yue in the antique market for a few days and was familiar with Changhua chicken-blood stones. At this time, he heard that there are other places where chicken-blood stones are produced, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
.
Hahahaha Wang Qiucheng laughed and said: Soapstone is found in many places, not just Changhua and Bahrain, but Changhua Soapstone was discovered earliest and mined earliest, so it is also the most famous. But judging from the current situation
, the quality of Bahrain’s chicken blood stone is higher than that of Changhua’s chicken blood. This does not mean that Bahrain’s chicken blood is the best, mainly because the best materials for Changhua’s chicken blood have almost been exhausted.
Wang Qiucheng sighed and continued: The mining of Changhua chicken blood stone began in the Song and Ming Dynasties, and has been mining for more than a thousand years. Now Changhua Yuyan Mountain has basically been hollowed out. Many mines have been dug for several years.
There is less than one piece of chicken blood stone. Like gambling on stones, mining chicken blood stone also involves risks and requires luck. Objectively speaking, good stones that should be of good quality and color are gone. Changhua Laokeng chicken blood stone has been exhausted many years ago, and now Xinkeng
The excavated chicken bloodstone is far inferior to the old pit chicken bloodstone in terms of background color and hardness. The best ox horn jelly and mutton fat jelly chicken bloodstone are almost never mined in new pits.
Lin Xiaoxi looked sad and said: Grandpa said the same thing. In a few years, no one may know about Changhua Chicken Blood Stone.
Mr. Lin is still strong, Wang Qiucheng said in greeting. He knew Lin Xiaoxi's grandfather, and he was half a generation older than Wang Qiucheng.
Thank you Teacher Wang for your concern. Grandpa is in good health. But he has always had a regret, that is, he did not see a piece of the Emperor's Blood Stone. Lin Xiaoxi said.
