My system is not decent

What Chen Wenzhe saw next were all stone imitations from the Ming Dynasty, such as the large lotus pedestal with a Zen spirit.

This is a work in the early Ming Dynasty, with a surface diameter of 42, a bottom diameter of 58, and a total height of 20 cm.It is carved in bluestone, the lotus seat is huge in size, the whole is round, the bottom is flat, the top is narrowed and the bottom is sparse, the shape is calm and regular, and the charm of Zen is born.

The surrounding edges are full of floating withered lotuses, and the end is rolled up with high floating withered ruyi flowers, which is full of three-dimensionality.Because the Ruyi flower is high and withered and protrudes from the body, it is very easy to be damaged when handed down from generation to generation. However, this work is preserved now, and the high and withered parts are very intact, which is very rare.

This work is a treasure handed down from generation to generation, and it seems that the stone basin was taken out by the family.In addition to this floating withering, there are also a pair of imitation stones in the garden of the Ming Dynasty.

36 in length and width, 65 in height, the stone table has four outstretched legs and three bent legs, just like Ming Dynasty furniture. Dragon and phoenix are lightly carved in the middle of the four sides of the legs.

I just saw two works from the Ming Dynasty, and then I saw a lotus seat from the Tang Dynasty. It seems that he has crossed borders, or are they all lotus flowers so they got together?

This lotus seat has a diameter of 64 and a height of 28. It is fully carved and has full lotus petals.Collecting that kind of stone, on the contrary, is like some ordinary things, like a full-scale low-profile stone pillar with auspicious animal patterns.

Inside, low-rise withered lions, tigers, unicorns, sika deer and auspicious animal patterns imply wealth and auspiciousness.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became a secular period, because the works of that period were more down-to-earth.

Withering belongs to subtraction and is difficult to control. It is very easy to achieve both form and spirit.The techniques of expression are becoming more and more folk, forming an artistic style of exquisite workmanship, complexity, slenderness and bright colors.

The previous Song and Yuan Dynasties were not the period of humanization.The shape of the whole vessel is solid and thick, with double-sided work, making it a good product for elegant garden display.

It draws on the artistic achievements of Liguo, which is mainly reflected in Buddhist statues.Plastic is not additive, relatively bad to master.

The stone eucalyptus flat-head style is based on the woodworkers of the Ming Dynasty. The eucalyptus surface and the tooth board are made of one stone, and the rotten image resembles cloud teeth.

The Sui and Tang dynasties combined the achievements of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and absorbed the nutrients of local art through the Silk Road. The sculpture art was brilliant in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, creating masterpieces with the style of the times.

Next is the Jinyuan stone lion squatting, Jinyuan period, height 79, 34-40, bluestone.Song and Yuan sculptures lacked the grand scale and unrestrained momentum of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but they did not develop under the delicate and realistic techniques.

There is no more Ming Dynasty kidnapper dragon Yunhe stone eucalyptus, length 168, narrow 39, low 75, eucalyptus gravel, from the Jincheng area of ​​Western Shaanxi, with the same workmanship on both sides, the legs of the kidnapper dragon and the eucalyptus surface echo each other, the shape is common, and the quality is high. The phase is basically complete.

"Huh? That's Jinshi? Jinyan?" The base is carved with six-sided and six-sided lines, and the whole product is bluestone.It is also genuine, and its appearance is basically broken, which is really rare.

Now Chen Wenzhe has not seen the stone withers of the Sui, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties.Due to the secularization of religious art, the idealized elements in statues of gods and Buddhas have been significantly weakened, while the atmosphere of real life has been slightly weakened.

The legs and feet are used as board feet, and the bottom is dug as mud, so that the ground is stable and firm.Something from the Ming Dynasty, 79 cm low, bluestone.

The flowers and leaves rolled at the bottom of the seven feet are a classic style of the Ming Dynasty.Wither sculpture is divided into two forms, wither and plastic, one is addition and the other is subtraction.

The scale of sculpture production is grand, the quantity is huge, and the artistic skills have not been greatly improved. Buddhist sculptures occupied the dominant position in that period and achieved the most outstanding achievements.

In order to save labor, using thought to refine the beauty of shape is the smallest characteristic of this period.The unearthed small batch of portrait stones also reflects the low-level generalization of people at that time, their understanding of death as life, and the inheritance and development of ancient legends.

It's just that, like stone lions, there are relatively few people who collect them, and most of them can see the real ones on average.

The ancient stone wither in your country is a common category. From the initial generation to the attention of the stone wither in the early 80s, the products of each period have no specific style and will be copied by the predecessors.

It is a process of war and fusion between dynasties and nations, and also a small fusion process of the same cultural system and the same style, which laid a solid ideological and cultural foundation for the cultural unification of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, that period was called the Paradise Period.Due to the popularization of Buddhist culture and the integration of ethnic groups during that period, the themes of stone carvings became more diverse, the styles more diverse and the skills so sophisticated reached a level unprecedented in history.

At this time, religious sculptures played an important role, the trend of digging grottoes had declined, and temple sculptures still had a certain scale.

After Huo Qubing's tomb, the horse riding on the Huns and the stone statue are not the most representative works.At that time, it entered a historical period of unprecedented political and economic prosperity, which prompted a new low peak in the development of sculpture art.

And in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was not the palace period, it was the peak of art.It is obviously also a work of the Ming Dynasty. It is 45 square meters, 33 meters lower, and bluestone.

The ancients of that period used local materials and withered beforehand, refining the lost points in the rough.Of course, that's just for comparison.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, your country regained unity and stability before experiencing unity and turmoil that lasted for about three and a half centuries.

It is 70 cm long, 38 cm narrow, and 8 cm thick. The frame is decorated with broken patterns, and the eight characters are engraved in the middle.

The stone seat is made of seven squares, with Ruyi-style shawls, and the pot doors are opened on the seven viewing sides.Because for the ancients, stone withering is always a sacred object loaded with inner beliefs.

That period was the paradise period of stone carvings, and all works were like pens made by heaven, sacred but inviolable.

For example, the stone withered works of the Han Dynasty, also known as the Shinto period.Therefore, it is only a genuine product, and it is not because the number of stone lions handed down from generation to generation is too small. In addition, it is difficult to break through stone withered works, so that the number of such works handed down to previous lives is relatively small.

It is extremely rare to catch a small lion on each of the front two legs. Because it has been handed down for a long time, the shape of the big lion has not been damaged, and it has gradually molded into a lake. It is rare for the whole lion to remain broken, which is really rare.

Ancient craftsmen were all masters, and addition is always more loved than subtraction.The following early Ming Dynasty running lion is 105cm long, 46cm narrow and 80cm low.

In addition to the ancient times, the works of Shijiao did not really form a unique style until the Han Dynasty, and those styles still have their own characteristics.

At this time, the Buddha's withered works lacked the state of grandeur and solemnity, and also lacked the beauty of elegance and freshness.The running lion is small in size and heavy in weight. It wears a saddle and holds a rein in its mouth, as if it is running.

The stone lion is in a squatting posture, with its mouth open and its teeth spit out, its hair curled up, and its posture is mighty and majestic. It is a typical stone carving of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

The stone carvings in Ming and Qing Dynasties continued to develop along the ancient tradition, showing stereotypes and secularization.The following things are all works of the Ming Dynasty, like stone plaques in the courtyard of the Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, the stone steles outside that should also be in series, because there are no stone steles from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
