My system is not decent

In order to protect the natural marine environment, my country has banned the mining of coral and giant clams on January 2017, 1.

Coral is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, and giant clam is the first of the seven treasures of Buddhism.

Tridacna is the whitest gemstone among all organic and inorganic gemstones, and it is also produced in the deep sea.

In ancient times, people saw that the appearance of giant clams had five radial grooves, which were similar in shape to ancient ruts, so they were named "chequ".

Later, considering that it is a kind of gemstone, a stone character was added in front of these two characters, so it became the current Tridacna.

Tridacna is as pure as a white lotus, as bright as a bright moon, as one inside and outside, as airy as a white rainbow.

And because of its extremely long life span, it is revered as the first of the seven treasures by Buddhists.

Tridacna has been listed as a treasure in the Shang Dynasty of our country. King Wen of Zhou, who was imprisoned back then, was exchanged by San Yisheng for his freedom from King Zhou of Shang with a huge giant clam.

Since ancient times, giant clams have been regarded as treasures.

The court beads that the second-rank officials of the Qing Dynasty brought when they went to court were made of giant clams.

Tridacna is also the first of the four organic gemstones, ranking before pearls, corals, and amber.

Tridacna are mainly produced in Baodao, South Island, Xisha Islands and other islands in my country.

The hardness is 2.5 to 3, the density is 2.7, and it has a pearly luster.

Therefore, you should keep away from strong acid and alkali when wearing it at ordinary times, and avoid impact and collision.

In addition to the above-mentioned jade and strange stones, my country's treasure island is also rich in coral jade.

Coral jade is known as a natural flower in geology. Its beautiful pattern is formed by the coral polyps engulfed in the eruption of volcanoes hundreds of millions of years ago and replaced by silica solution.

It is worth noting that coral jade is also called chrysanthemum jade.

Due to the size and type of corals in it when it is formed, it has very beautiful and different natural patterns.

Coral jade in the world is currently only produced in three places, which are Baodao, Xishan Ningqiang, and Indonesia.

Among them, the quality of coral jade produced in Baodao is the best, and it is also representative of the world.

In addition to these gems, due to the special location of the island, treasure island is also very rich in marine fossils.

For example, shell fossils, sea urchin fossils, fish egg fossils and so on.

Friends who like fossils, if they go to Baodao, they will definitely return with a rewarding experience.

One of the fine products is chrysocolla, also known as phoenix stone, which is very beautiful in appearance and has a very high ornamental value. It has a hardness of 2 to 4 and a density of 2 to 2.4. It is often used to refine copper metal.

Chrysocolla is often associated with malachite, azurite, cuprite and native copper, and sometimes with chalcedony.

Therefore, some scholars also believe that the blue chalcedony of Baodao has a blue luster because it contains chrysocolla.

It can be seen from all these that Treasure Island really deserves to be Treasure Island.

Even Chen Wenzhe knew the rich resources of Baodao through a stone carving factory.

At this time, he also had some ideas. Now that he has seen so many stone carving works and involves various raw materials, can he also participate?

At the very least, he needs to collect some, after all, he is a collector.

I just don't know if the owner of this stone carving factory sells these stone carvings or not.

But it's okay if they don't sell it, because they always sell stone carvings, right?

Chen Wenzhe really wanted to ask the boss to make another copy for him based on his family's stone carvings.

If you want to do it again, it should be better, right?

This kind of thing definitely doesn't need him to come forward in person, as long as the order is given, someone will help him to complete it.

At this time, he wondered, if there were enough stone carvings and enough open space, could it be possible to make a man-made scenic spot like a stone carving road?

For sculpture, Chen Wenzhe has already covered a lot.

He has learned jade carving and brick carving before, and now he is learning stone carving.

If adding the engraving techniques on top of porcelain and bronze ware, his engraving skills are already very comprehensive.

Thinking about it now, all he had left was wood carving, which he had never done before.

Now that he has an idea, he must realize it, so he doesn't mind looking for some fine wood carvings and learning wood carving techniques in the future.

After leaving the stone carving factory, Chen Wenzhe didn't even meet the owner of that factory.

That man is really a strange man, there are so many stone carvings, and some of them are real antiques, so they are not afraid of being stolen if they are placed in the open air.

Coming back to the urban area, Chen Wenzhe had a much more purposeful purpose this time.

Yangluo is also an ancient city with a history of thousands of years. Naturally, there is no shortage of various ancient buildings here.

There are stone carvings and wood carvings, but most of them are folk wood carvings.

The statues of folk woodcarving figures are mostly made to bless the family's safety, prosperity, many children, many blessings, longevity, and wealth accumulation.

Although it has a certain color of religious belief, it is a true portrayal and reflection of the spiritual life of the people at that time.

Of course, these things are also important material materials for the study of social folk life, religious beliefs and wood carving art at that time, and they are also precious and important folk cultural relics.

However, what Chen Wenzhe saw must have been imitations.

If you can't see the real thing, you must have not found the right place.

Chen Wenzhe knew that there must be ancient buildings in Yangluo City, and among the ancient buildings, there must be no shortage of stone carvings, wood carvings, and brick carvings.

Sure enough, when he saw a big house, the first thing he saw were the stone carvings at the door, and then the brick carvings on the wall.

And through the gate, what you see must be wood carvings.

"This is the Luze Guild Hall? I heard that there are a lot of wood carvings inside."

Looking at the plaque at the door, Chen Wenzhe remembered what kind of place it was.

The Luze Guild Hall was first built in 1744. The concentrated wood carvings are really rare, and it is a miracle that they have been preserved after the war.

The wood carvings in Luze Guild Hall are mainly concentrated in Queti and Efang, with rich themes.

Judging from the picture, there are eight immortals celebrating birthdays, farming, fishing and hunting, auspicious flowers and birds, dragons and horses and other auspicious animals.

The plant species mainly include peony, grape, lotus and so on.

The beasts mainly include dragons, 狻猊, deer, horses and so on.

If you are a layman, you can just watch the excitement, and you will basically not know the name of the screen.

Of course, I don't know the meaning of the different gestures of the animals.

For example, there is a picture of a horse with four legs facing the sky, with peonies in the background;

Dragons and 狻猊 have different types, and their looks and movements are also different.

These things can't be found on the Internet, and there is no place to learn them, so Chen Wenzhe's retrospective skills are particularly important.

Because through backtracking, he can see the construction process of the entire building.

During this period, all the secrets here were opened to him. He knew the names and meanings of all the wood carvings and stone carvings, and he knew exactly what works these were.

For example, the familiar wood carvings are suanni, and this one is a mythical beast, a town house, and there is nothing to say.

It has long been grapes and squirrels, which means fruitful, representing many children and many blessings.

The pictures of fishermen, woodcutters, and farming cattle on the architrave of the ancient guild hall are still complete, but the heads of the scholars are gone.
