It is precisely because of the seclusion of the older generation of jade carving masters.
Many jade carving knife skills have been lost.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer new generation jade carving masters.
Some existing jade carving masters are unable to pick up carving knives because of their age.
This also led to the replacement of handmade jade carvings by industrial machines.
Although the carving of the machine is more precise.
But in terms of expressiveness, it can never keep up with hand-carving.
Therefore, the current income of a jade carving master is really beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Yuan has reason to believe that once this thing comes out, there will be many contenders.
Of course, if we just talk about financial resources, there is no way those sculptors can compare with Ye Yuan, not even the master sculptors, or even the master sculptors.
But there's no point in spending money to fight for it, isn't it?
Now it only costs a mere 5,000 yuan.
Just get such a treasure-level inheritance.
Can Ye Yuan be unhappy?
Especially this is the lost Zigang sword technique of Lu Zigang, who is known as the "Jade God".
Lu Zigang was a master of jade carving and inlaying in the Ming Dynasty.
He is also the founder of Zigang Jewelry Workshop.
He lived during the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty and was originally from Taicang Prefecture. He later moved to Suzhou and opened a jade carving workshop.
His jade carving skills are superb and can be described as a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
The world-famous "Zigang brand" is named after him.
Suzhou's "Mudu Town Chronicle" records: Lu Zigang, who was not sixty years old, became a monk and did not enter the city for more than ten years.
"Because he had been a monk for more than ten years in his later years and had no heirs to inherit his legacy.
His skills were spontaneously passed down by jade craftsmen disciples in Zhuanzhuxiang.
It can be regarded as Lu Zigang’s unique skill Zigang Sword Technique
, but due to various reasons, disappeared from the world a long time ago.
Lu Zigang is good at "poetry, calligraphy and painting seals" integrated into jade design and flat ground reduction techniques.
This has also become the main carrier for the inheritance and inheritance of jade craftsmanship in later generations, and has carried it forward.
Therefore, the Zigang Pai has become an ever-lasting classic of the Jade Industry.
By the Qianlong period, Zigang was no longer a personal name, but evolved into a brand.
Because Lu Zigang was once regarded as the founder of the jade industry by his later disciples, many of his jade works were written down in the works of his contemporaries.
This also strengthens the achievements of Lu Zigang jade carving.
However, its achievements in the field of jewelry such as "jade inlaid with treasure" have indeed been ignored.
For example, documents such as "Ancient Chinese Craftsmen's Chronicles" record that he is "skilled" and "handy" in setting gems, and "Taicang County Chronicles" records:
The description that "Lu Zigang's main skill is focused on 'craftsmanship and mosaic'" is rarely known.
Lu Zigang is not only a master of jade carving, but also an accomplished jewelry inlay master.
It's a pity that the set of Zigang's knife skills that Ye Yuan obtained was only Lu Zigang's skills and experience in jade carving.
There is not even a word recorded about the setting of jewelry.
It is precisely because of Lu Zigang's accomplishments in jade carving and jewelry inlay.
With his own efforts, he pushed the art of jade carving to unprecedented heights.
Because in ancient times, many well-known jade carving masters were mostly used by the royal family.
Therefore, many people have never left their names on the historical stage.
They can only leave behind their own works.
Even if many of them leave their names, they are only circulated in some unofficial histories.
And Lu
Zigang is the first master-level figure who can leave his name on his works and sign them.
Legend has it that it was precisely because Lu Zigang insisted on leaving signatures on his works that he had to bring disaster to the monks.
Ye Yuan never expected that the last lost Zigang sword technique would appear in the world in this form.
And by chance, I got it by myself.
From the exquisite design of this wooden unicorn and its self-destruction layout.
Ye Yuan could more or less guess how much Lu Zigang valued his Zigang sword skills.
I would rather destroy it than let outsiders get it.
After all, people lived hundreds of years ago, and people's thoughts and meanings at that time must have been different from what they are now.
So Ye Yuan couldn't comment on whether Lu Zigang was right or wrong.
But Ye Yuan is also a sculptor.
I still sincerely admire this great master Lu Zigang.
Ye Yuan has his own understanding of sculpture.
But after he saw Zigang's sword skills.
My understanding of jade carving cannot be said to be enlightening, but I still gained a lot.
This is the result of him just looking at it hastily.
If you give him a certain amount of time.
Let him study the Zigang sword technique carefully. I believe Ye Yuan's progress in jade carving will be unimaginable.
After all, no matter how powerful Lu Zigang is, he doesn't have the ability to sense this method, right?
Ye Yuan knew that he had really picked up a big leak this time.
And it’s still a super big leak.
This inheritance alone is priceless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it cannot be measured by money.
Pick up two soft knives again.
At this moment, Ye Yuan has learned from the records that these two soft knives are the essence of Zigang's sword technique.
These two knives are legendary
Zigang carving knife.
In many unofficial histories, this carving knife has been passed down as a magical weapon.
According to legend, he used these two swords to deceive the emperor at that time.
It is said that the emperor asked Lu Zigang to carve a jade pot.
He was also prohibited from leaving a signature on this work.
But Lu Zigang used his ingenious craftsmanship to match the legendary Zigang carving knife.
He insisted on hiding his name when Yu Hu pointed it out.
Later the jade pot was handed over to the emperor.
The emperor did not discover the secret.
He also praised the jade pot for being so ingenious that the emperor couldn't put it down.
He often played with it, and the emperor also appreciated Lu Zigang.
But this matter was told by Lu Zigang to one of his closest friends after he was drunk.
In the end, this guy directly reported Lu Zigang for profit.
When the emperor found out about this, he became furious.
He ordered Lu Zigang to be captured and beheaded directly.
After all, the emperor's most important thing is face.
Lu Zigang relied on his superb skills and ignored the emperor's words.
Even the most sage emperor would not be able to tolerate such a person.
In the eyes of the emperor, no matter how skilled you are, Lu Zigang, you are just a craftsman.
How dare you go against him like this? Isn't this a toilet light?
But what’s shocking is that.
When the people sent by the emperor wanted to capture Lu Zigang, they discovered that this guy had disappeared.
This made the emperor very angry, and in anger, he ordered that all his previous works be destroyed.
Lu Zigang was still alive after offending the emperor.
He can be regarded as a ruthless person of his generation.
This is why Lu Zigang is famous
However, this is the main reason why so few of his works have been handed down.
Otherwise, not every one of Lu Zigang’s works would be priceless, right? For the fastest updated and error-free reading, please visit your mobile phone:
