My system is not decent

As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, my country's ivory carving technology was extremely developed. After the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the ivory carving technology became more exquisite.

The Qing Dynasty was the heyday of ivory carving. Like bamboo, wood, horn, stone and other small carvings, ivory carving became a rare display on several cases.

Before the Qing Dynasty, ivory carving inherited the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and it has developed in terms of production technology and artistic creation.

After the mid-term, the artistic creation of ivory carvings moved towards cumbersome pile decoration.

At that time, ivory carvings were divided into two categories: court handicrafts and folk handicrafts. The court makers were exquisite and exquisite, and the figures, flowers and birds were mostly imitated by the brushstrokes of paintings, and the coloring and filling had certain rules.

Even so, there is no absolute difference between the two. Many court dentists are recruited directly from the people.

Ivory sculpture in the Qing Dynasty has basically formed two major art schools, the Jiangnan School and the Guang School.

Chen Wenzhe is proficient in carving, and has now reached the level of a master. Naturally, there are not many problems in making tooth carvings of various genres.

So, soon the first work was finished.

Looking at this work, there are not many materials used. If there are all gem bonsai like this, he can make a large batch very quickly.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe didn't do these things for profit, so naturally he didn't pursue quantity.

Therefore, he will gradually increase the difficulty, and slowly start to make some more difficult works.

The most important thing is that he has a complete set of materials at hand, and it is easy to assemble pieces of treasures.

With technology, materials, and time, the finished product will naturally come out soon.

Soon after finishing one, he selected jasper, coral and some special gemstones to make another jasper evergreen bonsai.

This is a treasure made in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it also belongs to the old collection of the Qing Palace.

This gemstone bonsai is 51.5 cm high, with a pot height of 16.5 cm, a diameter of 20 cm, and a bottom diameter of 16 cm.

The basin is in the form of a cylinder, painted with red lacquer, and decorated with gold-painted curly grass patterns on the mouth and bottom edges.

Jasper Evergreen is planted in the pot, the leaves are thick and fat, tall and straight like a sword, green and lush.

Green silk stems stand in the middle of the leaves, and there are 3 clusters of Dieffenbachia seeds made of dyed bones and red coral beads on the stems, and the beads are bright red.

If there is a special craft here, it is gold painting.

Gold lacquer is a kind of material, or even a craft, used in ancient furniture and home decoration by using techniques such as lacquer painting, gold tracing, and inlay in the ancient handicraft industry in my country.

Most of the gold lacquer furniture in our country is exquisitely carved, giving people a sense of splendor and magnificence.

In addition to gold-lacquered furniture, there are also gold-lacquered wood carvings.

In temple buildings, lifelike wood carvings can be seen everywhere.

These are often storytelling and contain thought-provoking meanings;

The statues for people to worship are often carved from wood, and even pasted with gold foil to show their dignity.

In addition, there are gold lacquer inlays, which are formed by wooden tires, painted, and then inlaid, carved and filled, colored filled, piled up with ancient lacquer, carved ash, flat gold open color, broken lines, and carved lacquer on the base of the lacquer. , gold and silver, lacquer and other decorative techniques.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this lacquerware craft, which originally served the court, has been passed on to the people.

Chen Wenzhe has never done this before, but as long as he has gold paint, this kind of craftsmanship is not difficult for him at all.

Because when he was learning filigree inlay, he had seen some Yanjing Bajue crafts by the way, and this gold lacquer inlay was among them.

Little by little, Chen Wenzhe kept increasing the difficulty.

From the woodcarving based on the fear of wasting materials at the beginning, the Chengcha fairy bonsai made, to the slightly difficult red coral bonsai, the next step is to make it more difficult.

This is a tourmaline peach tree bonsai "Peach Blessings", made in Su in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

The overall height is 56 cm, the pot height is 16.5 cm, and the diameter is 31.2 cm.

Painted enamel water chestnut flower basin, the outer wall of the basin is covered with dark and light blue glaze, and painted with peony patterns.

Peach trees are planted in pots as the main scene, with wooden branches and jasper leaves, and the peach fruit is made of red and pink gemstones such as hibiscus, tourmaline, and beeswax.

The tree is lined with lake stones, camellias and brocade flowers for a week.

This scene is patchwork and vivid, showing the refreshing and bright style of bonsai in the south of the Yangtze River.

Not to mention other things, this one is just the basin, which requires Chen Wenzhe to make it carefully.

Flower pots painted with enamel were not uncommon in the palaces of the Qing Dynasty.

For example, the "Chunguang Changshou" wintersweet flower tree bonsai also came from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, but it was widely made, and it also belonged to the old collection of the Qing Palace.

The overall height is 42.5 cm, the pot height is 8.9 cm, and the pot diameter is 25-16.5 cm.

Painted enamel corner rectangular pot, the outer wall of the pot is painted with broken branches and flowers.

The main scene is the wintersweet tree with copper-dyed leaves and teeth-dyed petals.

Surrounded by dyed stone hills and crystal crabapple flowers, milky white glass camellias, copper grasses, etc., the branches are vigorous, the flowers and plants are delicious, and the scenery is beautiful and elegant.

Painted enamel, one of the varieties of enamelware, generally refers to painted enamel on copper body, also known as "foreign porcelain".

Painted enamel can also be made of other metals, such as: gold painted enamel, silver painted enamel, etc.

The derivative varieties of painted enamel include: porcelain body painted enamel (namely enamel colored porcelain), glass body painted enamel, etc.

In addition, the production process of painting enamel is also called painting enamel.

There are cloisonné enamel, painted enamel, and cloisonné among the copper crafts, and many people are foolish and unclear.

There are still many people who think that cloisonné enamel is not just painting enamel?

Also, is enamel not porcelain?How did it become cloisonne?

In fact, these three are different, so what is cloisonné enamel?

Also, what is painted enamel?What is Cloisonne?What is the difference between these three?

Enamel, filigree enamel, and painted enamel should be the three basic terminology in the entire enamel art category today.

Because many people, including a considerable number of people engaged in enamel art, often confuse their respective concepts, resulting in confusion in understanding.

Actually speaking, it is very simple.

Enamel is a new term that was gradually evolved in the long history by the method of burning porcelain by Francois, and it did not appear until the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

It is filled with the complex process of transforming from regional names to craft (or enamel) names.

Any "glazing on metal body" is called "enamel" process, and its products are called "enamel art" or "enamelware".

Cloisonné enamel and painting enamel belong to the category of enamel art, as well as "foreign porcelain".

Note that enamel artwork and "enamelware" are not synonymous

Painted enamel is a modern term evolved from the ancient Persian porcelain firing technique.

The time when this term appeared should be regarded as the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, and it played a role in regulating the enamel branch system of painting enamel.

Painting enamel can be divided into two categories.

One is that copper body painting enamel includes gold and silver bodies, which can also be called "cloisonné painting enamel" or "wire enamel";

The second is painted enamel on porcelain body, also known as "enamel color".
