My system is not decent

It is because of the many artistic achievements of ancient Rome and its unique characteristics that ancient Roman sculpture is an important part of ancient Western civilization.

The most important thing is that it has made outstanding contributions to the development of Western realistic sculpture.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe didn't pay much attention to this point, and he didn't pay much attention to these western art works, because he didn't want his skills to become nondescript.

Because it is only a domestic technology, it is enough for him to learn and produce beautiful stone sculptures.

Besides, there are many schools of stone carving techniques in China.

Therefore, after seeing some western art works, he directly turned back to China.

For him, these domestic stone carving works are more pleasing to the eye.

And if you want to learn stone carving technology, good stone is very important.

Our country is vast and abundant, and there is no shortage of good stones.

For example, Liuyang in Nanhu Lake is a place with a very long history of making stone carvings.

This place can be said to be blessed by nature, because 2.7 million years ago, due to violent geological movements in the shallow sea at that place, part of the seabed silt and marine life penetrated deep into the crust.

After hundreds of millions of years of high temperature and high pressure condensation and evolution, it has become a biological fossil, forming a unique natural colored chrysanthemum stone mine in the world.

At the end of the last century, this precious resource was discovered and developed by the Liuyang River.

Its stone is rich in color, tough and delicate, and contains trace elements such as strontium and selenium that are beneficial to the human body, which highlights the rarity of chrysanthemum stone.

It can be said that this kind of stone is a natural rare treasure.

Also known as "Stone Chrysanthemum", it is produced in the rock formations at the bottom of the Daxi River in Liuyang.

Its "flower" was cultivated more than 2 million years ago and was naturally formed in rocks due to geological movement.

It can also be called "taking the essence of the sun and the moon, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth".

Its flower shape resembles the colorful autumn chrysanthemums. The flowers are milky white, with clear textures, clear boundaries, lifelike expressions, jade and crystal clear, and are a spectacle.

This uncarved Yonghe chrysanthemum stone blank has been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.

Such lifelike art treasures of various shapes appear in the hands of the world.

The chrysanthemum stone in the carbonate sedimentary rocks in the Liuyang River area is located in the Lower Permian Qixia Formation.

In the later stage of sedimentary diagenesis, calcite replaced lapis lazuli, forming radial aggregates resembling chrysanthemums.

At the heart of these aggregates is the hard flint.

The petals retain the orthorhombic columnar shape of the lapis lazuli crystals.

According to the size of the flower diameter and the shape of the flower, it can be divided into hydrangea, coral butterfly flower, copper coin flower, crab claw flower, chicken claw flower and other varieties.

Among them, the first three have high process utilization value.

In terms of craftsmanship, this kind of chrysanthemum stone is mostly used for carving chrysanthemum-shaped flower ornaments, tea sets, pen holders, etc.

In order to increase the color contrast between the chrysanthemum and the base color, in the process of making handicrafts, black pigments and varnishes are often painted on the surface of the off-white base.

At the Panama International Exposition in 1915, Dai Qingsheng, a master of Chinese crafts, made unique works, such as "Yingxue" vases and "plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo" screens.

These works amazed the world, amazed that "stones can bloom".

It is based on this work that it won the "Gold Award for Rare Treasures" in one fell swoop, and it has been preserved in the United Nations Museum.

In 1959, shortly after the founding of our country, the people of Liuyang presented a giant volume of three-dimensional sculpture "Stone Chrysanthemum Mountain" to the conference hall for people of all ethnic groups to watch.

From 1997 to 1999, the whole country was jubilant, celebrating Hong Kong and the return of Australia. At this time, I specially created two commemorative stone carvings of chrysanthemums.

Now my country's former Ministry of Geology and Mining has listed chrysanthemum stones as gemstones, and colored chrysanthemum stones are the treasures of gemstones!

Its "precious" is rare and rare in the world, and only Liuyang Leishi Mountain is unique in the world.

It is "strange" in its splendor: the common chrysanthemum stone has a single color, the stone is gray-black, and the flowers are white.The colored chrysanthemum stones are mostly white, milky white, pink, light yellow, and colorful.

It is "expensive" in its natural and lifelike shape: the colorful chrysanthemum stone has a huge flower shape (the largest flower diameter is 87 cm), with prominent stamens and distinct petals.

Such a gift from God naturally needs to be cherished.

Not to mention the present, even in ancient times, there are works handed down from generation to generation.

The chrysanthemum stone in Liuyang is said to have been unearthed in the Qing Dynasty.

According to legend, the local villagers took the stone to build the dam, and were surprised to find that the stone contained "chrysanthemum".

The stonemasons in the village carve like a grinder, so they make the strange stones a tribute, and they are collected and presented by the courts, officials, and wealthy businessmen of all dynasties.

Today's colorful chrysanthemum stones are already the jewels in the crown of the collection industry.

In the world, stones are the most common and can be picked up everywhere.

But many people have never seen this kind of stone. It is the chrysanthemum stone that grows at the bottom of the beautiful Liuyang River.

It is not easy to get a piece of exquisite Liuyang chrysanthemum stone.

The chrysanthemum stone is cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, so that the texture of chrysanthemum petals can grow in the stone.

After careful searching by miners, only a piece of exquisite chrysanthemum stone can be found in dozens of tons of waste mines.

After being meticulously carved by sculptors, it finally reaches the hands of collectors. Isn't this a god-sent fate?

It is this heaven-sent opportunity that allows collectors to enjoy the gift of nature.

Collections in the world can be described as having a long history and a long history.

The collection is rich and dazzling.

In the world of collecting stars, the colorful chrysanthemum stone is the brightest star, shining with dazzling light, and it can be called the jewel in the crown of the collection industry.

Chrysanthemum stone has a long history and culture. It used to be a court tribute and was exclusively enjoyed by the royal family.

At the end of the last century, the world's only natural colored chrysanthemum stone resource was newly discovered in Gugang, the upper reaches of the Liuyang River.

It has huge flowers and a high degree of jade, known as the "crown jewel" among chrysanthemum stones, but it is difficult to mine.

Old miners often say: "Only those who have a real relationship with stones can find good chrysanthemum stones!"

In 2015, the colorful chrysanthemum stone carving of Concubine Yudi was listed in the Milan World Expo in Italy.

The work "Golden Chrysanthemum Queen" was reported by the world's major media as the "Treasure of the Town Hall" of the Huaxia Pavilion, and won the "European International Gold Award for Mineral Gems", stunning the world!

The author of the chrysanthemum stone is nature, the only one with no analogues.

Some works, such as calligraphy and painting, ceramics, etc., can be copied by later generations.

However, the rare and precious color chrysanthemum stone art cannot be copied or reproduced. Each work is an orphan, and the stock is extremely limited, so its collection value will be immeasurable.

But with such an immeasurable collection, Chen Wenzhe saw more than a dozen pieces at once this time.

Of course, among these works, the most are modern works of art, but there are also works from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!
