Chapter 685: Shoushantian Yellow Stone

"Uncle Gao is too honored!" Faced with Gao Yuyuan's praise, Lin Yu smiled slightly, but he acted neither humble nor arrogant, and responded appropriately, respectful and polite in his face, but he exuded a sense of arrogance in his bones. He was secretly fighting with Gao Yuyuan, but he was not at all inferior. I really don't know how he was so young?

This style surprised the people on the side. They looked at each other with praise, and they were so extraordinary at a young age. They were arrogant and humble together, and they treated people with no leakage. This innate temperament is really unlearnable. It is worthy of being the first young master in the capital that has attracted much attention. ""/"/

Gao Yuyuan chuckled, obviously Lin Yu's respectful intention made him very happy. The old leader was able to mention him, which made him feel very glamorous and said in a harmonious voice: "Xiao Yu is so polite. Oh, your grandfather is in good health. I haven't been to see the old leader for almost half a year.

"I'm sorry for Uncle Gao's concern for his grandfather's health. I just think about the war back then. I've been promoting my uncle with me a lot before." Lin Yu said hurriedly.

Gao Yuyuan patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, remember to come to my house to sit when you have time."

Lin Yu also said respectfully: "If you have the chance to go to Nanjin, you will definitely go to Uncle Gao's house to bother you!"

After a few greetings, Gao Yuyuan also introduced the people around him to Lin Yu. They were basically leaders of the Beijing-Tianjin Military Region, either the commander, the division commander or the chief of staff. They were all very kind and enthusiastic about Lin Yu.

Lin Yu greeted everyone one by one, and his words were humble, respectful, kind or easy-going. This person had a natural leadership charm. Unconsciously, he gathered everyone's eyes on him, as if he was watching him perform alone like a fish in water.

Chen Hualong watched with a smile and kindness. Although Lin Yu was somewhat deficient in social engagements in front of many people, his words and demeanor was generally well-equipped, which was not easy for his age.

Since Gao Yuyuan has arrived, it indicates that the birthday party is about to officially begin. However, before the birthday party, as usual, when the guests are giving birthday gifts, everyone sent their own gifts and blessings to Chen Hualong.

Perhaps there were some advices that most gifts were not very precious, but they were also rare. There were ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, guns, and various shapes of sticking and inlaid with bullet shells, such as maps, planes, warships, etc., which were very distinctive. It can be seen that everyone is very concerned about these gifts.

"Uncle Chen, a friend of mine got a piece of Shoushantian yellow stone, saying it was a good material for carving seals. I don't know much about this, so I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha today."

Until the others' gifts were almost done, Lin Yu took out a small red silk package from his pocket and presented it with both hands.

"Oh? Shoushantian Huangshi? It's very rare!" Chen Hualong raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "How did your friend get it?"

Shoushan Stone is one of the traditional "four seal stones" in my country. It is mainly distributed in the "Golden Triangle" area at the junction of the northern suburbs of Fuzhou City and Lianjiang and Luoyuan. Among them, Tiankeng stone is the most precious. Shoushan Tianhuang stone has a gentle and cute texture and is known as the "king of stones". It is the most representative stone type. It has extremely high artistic value and is also extremely precious. It is the best material for sealing and carving. However, after thousands of years of mining, the precious Tianhuang stone has become increasingly rare and extremely rare.

The Chinese treasure - Shoushan Stone, one of the traditional "four seal stones" in China. It is distributed in the "Golden Triangle" area at the junction of Jin'an District, Lianjiang County and Luoyuan County in the northern suburbs of Fuzhou City. If the ore veins are oriented, it can be divided into three systems: high mountains, flag mountains, and moon and ocean. Because the Shoushan mining area was mined early, the old saying "field pits, water pits, and mountain pits" refers to the ore mined at the bottom of the field, water streams, and caves in this mining area. After 1,500 years of mining, there are dozens of varieties of Shoushan Stones. Shoushan Stone has become one of the important bridges for cross-strait economic and trade exchanges and cultural exchanges.

Shoushan stones are in the gemstone and colored stones. The rock subcategory is a large category of colored stones. Its species and stone names are very complex, with about one hundred varieties. According to traditional customs, the general order of Shoushan stones can generally be divided into three categories: "field pit", "water pit" and "mountain pit".

Surrounding Shoushan Village is a trickle of water. At the bottom of the paddy fields on both sides of Shoushan Creek, which is circling the village, there is a kind of "king of stones" Shoushan stone. Because it is produced at the bottom of the field and is often yellow, it is called Tiankeng stone or Tianhuang. The field stone is classified according to its color and can generally be divided into Tianhuang, Hongtian, Baitian, Huitian, Blacktian and Flower Field.

Tianhuang stone is the most common and representative stone species among Tianhuang. The common characteristics of Tianhuang are that the stone skin is mostly slightly transparent, with delicate and clear texture, and has fine and clear radish patterns, especially golden yellow. The orange peel is the best, loquat yellow, osmanthus yellow slightly yellow, and tung oil yellow is the lowest among Tianhuang. Tianhuang stone is called Tianhuang frozen, which is a very spiritual and clear spirit stone, with a color like broken egg yolk, which is very rare in Zhongshang and is listed as a tribute in history.

White field stone refers to the white one in the field stone. The texture is as delicate as a cream and slightly transparent. Some of the colors are pure white, while others are tender yellow or light green. The stone skin is as warm as mutton fat jade. The inner layer is, the lighter the color, while the radish patterns, red tendons, and plaid patterns are more obvious, which is like blood stored in the white silk satin. The stone products are better for those with spiritual patterns, fine patterns and fewer grids, and the texture is not inferior to high-quality Tianhuang stone.

The color of red in field stones is called red field stone. There are two reasons for the birth of red field. One is that it naturally produces a raw red body; the other is that it is artificially calcined to form acquired red. The natural red field stone is called orange peel red, which is a rare stone species.

There was originally a "Guangying Temple" outside Shoushan Village, which was built in the third year of Guangqi in the Tang Dynasty (884). In the temple, monks often collected Tianhuang stones and ground them into powder to treat the people around them. Unused stones were stored in the temple. Over time, countless Tianhuang yellow fields were accumulated in the temple. In the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Guangying Temple was burned by Yuan soldiers because they had taken Zhu Yuanzhang in. Even the Tianhuang stone accumulated by monks was silent in the fire. The Tianhuang stone was burned by fire after being roasted by fire. The Tianhuang stone was buried in the soil after being burned by fire. The creation made people feel like it. The hundreds of years of sun and rain, and the erosion of water not only did not make these Tianhuang stones buried deep under the ruins pale, but the nourishment of the special soil gave them more gorgeous life, which not only retained the original excellent quality of Tianhuang stone, but also improved.

It has achieved its unique charm of heavy and simple as ancient jade. At this time, the Sipingtian is no longer just a simple stone, but more like a wise man after the changes. They quietly guarded the vicissitudes of Guangying Temple, a land that has been through vicissitudes, recorded history, and witnessed the changes of time. During the Hongwu and Chongzhen periods of Guangying Temple, the Guangying Temple, twice burned and rebuilt, and abnormal environmental factors were the unique evolutionary conditions for the formation of Sipingtian. Among them, the two destroyed by fire in the Ming Dynasty were also the main time for the formation of Sipingtian. In the Ming Dynasty, there were a large number of Sipingtian stones, and collecting Sipingtian near Guangying Temple also became a trend of literati and elegant people. The value of Sipingtian has increased year by year, and it was already "ten times the Yijin" a long time ago.

The southeast of Shoushan Village is the famous Kengtou Mountain. It is the birthplace of Shoushan River. It is the Kengtou Cave and Crystal Cave, which is the place where puddle stones are produced. Because the cave is next to the stream and the stones are soaked under the water, it is also called "Dong Stone in the Stream". The puddle stones produce few stones and are especially rare in quality. Therefore, the best puddle stones seen on the market today are mostly old things from hundreds of thousands of years ago, so there is a saying that "a hundred-year-old rare puddle frozen". The puddle stones are a gathering of various frozen stones in Shoushan Rock. The main varieties include crystal frozen, yellow frozen, sky blue frozen, fish brain frozen, cow horn frozen, eel frozen, ring frozen, pit head frozen and digging pit head, etc. The colors are yellow, white, gray, and blue.

The collection of Shoushan Stones began before the early Ming Dynasty. Because during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty (13681398), the "Shoushan Guangyingyuan" in Shoushan Village, which was built in the third year of Guangqi in the Tang Dynasty (887), was burned by fire. After the fire, there were many Shoushan stones left at the former site of "Guangyingyuan", which were later called "Shiping stone". Therefore, the poem "Visiting Shoushan Temple" by Xu Huobo of the Ming Dynasty wrote: "The grass invaded the old site and threw away the broken foundation, and the rain washed the empty mountain and picked up the broken mud." "Broken mud" refers to the "Shoushan stone" collected by monks of "Guangyingyuan". However, the collection of "Shoushan stone" may not be for artistic appreciation, but for the purpose of making utensils after carving. In the late Ming Dynasty, Cao Xuequan discovered and began to collect Tianhuangshi. By the Qing Dynasty, "Shoushan stone"

"There is a lot of enthusiasm all over the country, so while collecting Shoushan stone sculptures, it also set off a wave of collecting Shoushan stone raw stones. In addition to being processed into priceless Shoushan stone crafts, its texture, texture, color and the culture derived are of great collection value. For example, Tianhuangshi in Shoushan stone, because it has the value of "10 times the gold is easy", collecting a piece of Tianhuangshi is an asset "safe box" and can also be said to be a symbol of the quantity of property. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there have been examples of "buying Tianhuang for a thousand gold" or "buying Tianhuang for a thousand gold" but more collections are for the appreciation of art. Modern Shoushan stone collectors still have many keen on collecting raw stones.

In 1982, a professor from the United States bought a piece of 2-tall raw stone. There was a collector in Taiwan who specialized in collecting the "hibiscus stone" in Shoushan Stone. The Chinese painter Qi Baishi has the legend of "a hundred stone rich man". He searched and collected a thousand pieces, and was one of the "three major seal stones in China" with high quality. He was nicknamed "the prince of Thousand Stones".

Shoushan stone sculptures were first seen in stone figurines of the Southern Dynasties, but the carving skills were rough. Except for the stone figurines that were buried with them, there were no examples of collection. Liang Kejia's "Three Mountains" said that Shoushan stones began to be mined in large quantities in the Song Dynasty and were used for carving. The exquisite ones were shipped to Bianliang as tributes and became toys for the palace.
