My system is not decent

Legend has it that Lu Zigang was very particular about carving jade, and there is a saying that "you can't cure jade if it's not good in quality, you can't cure jade if it's not beautiful, and you can't cure jade if it's not good".

The better the jade quality, the higher the hardness, and the more difficult it is to carve, the more he likes it.

Because Lu Zigang said that his unique skills are all derived from the pioneering precision carving knife "Wu Kun".

But this "My Kun Dao" is not shown to others, and the skills of using the sword are also kept secret.

The jade plaque here is a handed down device, and it can be seen from the patina (glass luster) that it has a real sense of age.

From the ornamentation of the jade plate, we can see the exquisite carving skills, especially the hair-thin high-level clarity revealed in the two lines of characters, and the rationality of the overall ornamentation layout is not simple.

The handwriting on it is neat and uniform, and the left and right sides of the carving reflect the extremely exquisite carving techniques.

This kind of carving technique has formed a fancy pattern, and its slender, thin and refined carving technique is amazing.

Its level of sophistication, even in modern times, cannot be achieved with modern tools!

Of course, this jade tablet is not without controversy, for example, there is no clear inscription on it.

Also, Lu Zigang's carving technique, why do some people think it is an imitation of the Qing Dynasty?

In fact, it is because of the carving process.

Because until now, some people have always believed that such fine, fine, and refined carving techniques could not be achieved in the Ming Dynasty, and it should be achieved after the introduction of advanced Western tools after Qianlong.

Besides, this jade tablet did not leave an inscription!

At that time, the jade materials used by Lu Zigang were all Tian jade, which is now HT jade.

All of his works are engraved, mainly in seal script and official script.

There are "Zigang", "Zigang" and "Zigang Zhi".

Retaining funds is actually a proof of strength and a characteristic endowed by the times.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a trend of "playing with time" in the society at that time, and many literati and scholars paid attention to collecting the handicraft works of recent and even famous masters at that time.

This promoted the excellence of craftsmanship at that time, and many famous craftsmen also emerged in various fields of arts and crafts.

People are flocking to works with the signatures of these famous craftsmen, and some of them are often priced as antique jewelry.

After many craftsmen became famous, the literati were also willing to associate with them, brag about them, and become celebrities in society.

Lu Zigang is just following this trend of "playing with time", and he is a leader who emerged as the times require.

The jade wares he carved all had their own inscriptions, most of them inscribed "Zigang" in inscribed characters in seal script with strict fonts, to show that "this is the only one, there is no other branch".

There are no less than 30 to [-] jade craftsmen in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are no less than [-] to [-] famous masters whose names have been handed down from generation to generation, and almost none dare to imitate them.

This is Lu Zigang's pride, and he will not leave or forget this pride!

Therefore, sometimes Lu Zigang's savings will be special.

If there is no special reason, he will keep it in the open place, and the engraved part is very particular.

If the situation is special, he will hide the reserved money. At this time, the reserved money is mostly hidden in unknown places such as the bottom of the device, the back of the device, the bottom of the handle, and the lid.

It can be said that keeping money is addictive and an obsession.

Of course, this persistence actually yields a brand, and what a brand brings is an improvement in social status.

The craftsman household system in the Ming Dynasty made the craftsmen in the early and mid-Ming period like slaves, but in the later period, they were finally able to stand up. Do you think Lu Zigang would easily give up this honor?

At that time, Lu Zigang had already established Zigang Workshop.

The workshop he founded involves a lot of crafts. In addition to jade, his carvings, such as bamboo, wood, stone, and inlay (inlaid with jade and treasure), are all involved, and all of them have achieved success.

It can be said that Lu's Zigang Workshop was already a jewelry workshop with a rich variety in those days.

At that time, Lu Zigang created the jade design of "Poetry, Calligraphy, Painting and Seal" by virtue of his own cultivation of calligraphy and painting art, which changed the obsolete and vulgarity of Ming Dynasty jade wares, and developed Suzhou-style jade wares, which were appreciated by the gentry at that time.

Under the system of "official and artisan households", they have won the right to "create their own brand", inscribe their names on products, and have the privilege of being on an equal footing with literati.

The fame of Luzigang jade carving in the SZ region in the 16th century has its special background.

At that time, the literati in the Jiangnan area had a hobby of art, developed a respect for artisans, and encouraged artisans to "create their own brands".

The utensils produced by Zigang Workshop are all engraved with the name "Zigang" or "Zigang Made", or Lu Zigang. Even if they are tributes to the emperor, "tea crystal plum blossom flower inserts", jade-inlaid gold alloy goblet cups, Zigang plaques, etc. , all carved with the word "Zigang".

Legend has it that Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun ordered him to carve a jade pot, and he was not allowed to sign the name. He used the internal engraving skills to place his name on the mouth of the jade pot in a very wonderful way.

It is said that Lu Zigang was deeply loved by the emperor, but once he made a jade carving for the emperor, he engraved his name on the dragon head, which angered the emperor and was unfortunately killed.

Just such a master who is obsessed with keeping money, would he not keep money on a suet jade plaque?

It is basically impossible, so this thing is considered to be imitated by future generations, and the imitation is not so serious.

Otherwise, this seemingly knowledgeable lawyer would not even mention the craftsmanship of this jade plaque, but only talk about the quality of this jade plaque.

Also, Lu Zigang's jade carving skills are indeed very confusing!

Lu Zigang did not leave behind his "My Kun Dao", nor did he pass down his sword-handling skills. The carving skills of "Zigang Yu" are still unique and difficult to imitate.

This is also an important reason why some Zigang jades with simple craftsmanship are considered imitations.

"Boy, do you really want this? It's not cheap!"

"I didn't think about picking up the leak, how much do you plan to do?"

"This jade tablet weighs 120 grams, which is 200 million yuan!"

"Yes!" Chen Wenzhe answered happily.

He has spent a lot of money recently, and he is very clear about his account balance, so he knows that he still has [-] million in cash.

In other words, the funds he had accumulated for more than half a year were finally exhausted today. If he wanted to buy something in the future, he had to think carefully about it.

As for giving up this transaction and keeping some cash for emergencies, Chen Wenzhe would never consider such a thing.

The main reason is that this jade badge has no celebrity brand value attached to Lu Zigang.

It can be said that 200 million is already considered a cabbage price, how could he give up?

"Toad yawned, what a big tone?"

"Haha, do you know how much 1000 and [-] million are? It can crush you to death, and you agreed so happily?"

"Okay, okay, the show is over now, just such a jade token, you actually want to sell it for 200 million? What are you dreaming of?"

"Since you know it's acting, what are you talking about? Old lady, it's not that we don't care about you. There's really no other way. Otherwise, you'd better stay here and be hospitalized? It's the cheapest place to be hospitalized here, and the monthly bed fee and so on , but only 4000 yuan."
