Later, I talked about the jade carving master in Hotan. My original intention is to go to the famous Yangjiao in Hotan. To tell the truth, I regretted it when I talked about the mark of heather.
I am a casual person at heart, respecting order, but not looking up to authority, insisting that only works will tell the truth.
So in this issue, I want to break the Carola I once described as a jade carving master.
Let me talk about my personal experience first, and then a shocking scam in the jade carving world. Of course, the master has the final say.
I believe that after listening to it, you will realize Jade's attitude towards jewelry, at least you won't be superstitious about some titles and stories.
About the year before last, someone came to me and said that I was fascinated by jade recently. I don't know who recommended a jade carving master and said he wouldn't buy his works.
Just arranged to go south, find the master's detailed address and take a taxi. The place was particularly hard to find, and finally it was found in an old two-story building.
After the host and guests exchanged greetings, we got down to business and the host brought out a plate of white jade. When I looked at it, my head felt a little confused: it was a little different from what I expected. They are all four or six cards of different sizes, with mountains and rivers on the front and ancient poems engraved on the back, all of which are blue and white, with good fineness, but far from being moist and dense!
It can be said that it is not to my taste. I watched and thought at the same time, how can this task be handed over?
Master happened to have a friend visiting, so she told me that she could go to the window next to her desk to see the natural light.
I came to the window with a tray and just glanced at a picture on my desk. I picked it up and saw that it was a master's design draft, with pictures and poems. I know a little about calligraphy and painting. I looked at that stroke, and my heart was cold. What is certain is that according to the master's skill, the work must rely on external forces.
I'll find a way to leave. Go out and check it carefully. It turns out that this master is neither national nor provincial. He was awarded by a collection association. It should be a commercial activity. I got rid of the impossible task.
My personal opinion may be biased, after all, everyone has his own preferences. Then I said that two institutions, the National Palace Museum in Taipei and the National Palace Museum in Beijing, should have higher views on art than most collectors. They are one of the stories I will tell next.
More than 20 years ago, there was a young man in Taipei who was under 30 years old. He called himself the "Jade Prince" and held a Thai passport. He said that he had 18 jade mine at home, and he was the fourth generation mine owner. This talented young man is called Hu. He claims to love sculpture, but he doesn't show his charm by wealth. He was brilliant and studious, and polished him into a jade carving artist. Sure enough, as soon as his work appeared, it shocked everyone's chin. Really beautiful!
He soon captured the heart of the daughter of the boss of Taiwan Province Fortune Group, the tycoon. They got married soon and had a daughter. Later, the professional Beetle became the head of the Fortune Group. This information can be found in Baidu Encyclopedia two years ago.
Nonsense, his sculpture creation is inspired by the classical wisdom of the East, such as Taoism and Buddhism, and incorporates contemporary artistic ideas.
Qin Xiaoyi, the former director of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, praised him in four words after reading his works: "Never before!" !
On October 201110/0 18, the Forbidden City in Beijing accepted two works donated by Master Hu, claiming to be worth one billion yuan. Zheng, then the head of the Forbidden City, said that the collection threshold of the Forbidden City is very high, but these two works are worthy of permanent collection.
However, in 20 17, Hu Yanqi's marriage broke down. Because of the uneven distribution of labor, his wife went to court with him and pointed out that he was actually not a mine owner, but a miner. The most terrible thing is that the master can't carve at all, but he finds someone to process it for him. The police investigation was true, so when he returned to the airport in Taipei in Beijing, Master Hu was caught red-handed. No, liar Hu was put in prison.
We should at least interpret some information in this story:
1, even the Forbidden City on both sides of the strait is listening to people flaunt themselves. In this era when information is more developed and hype is king, our sometimes confusion is understandable.
Maybe we should take a deep breath in front of every jade carving work, even everyone, instead of looking at the crown on his head and the packaging of the work, we should ask ourselves what we loved at the beginning.
3. We also reflect with this era. The teachers and fathers who worked for him should not lack fame and fortune. Why is Hu famous in the world?
That's all I have to say about jade carving and master packaging.
Let me make a confession: in recent issues, I have been hesitant and entangled, and this issue happens to be 30 issues, 30 weeks. I really appreciate it, thank you for your company all the way! However, I think I should, and I think I can contribute better voice and content to share with you.
Today, I decided to pursue further studies behind closed doors. My colleague Wang Jiao will take over the baton in the next section. Apart from work, she is almost entirely on her way to museums, libraries and jewelry exhibitions. I hope her voice is also good for your jewelry road. She will start with pearls in the next section. Well, let's look forward to her voice.
Thank you again for giving me this opportunity.
