Chapter 2049 Fanwai 37: The Beauty of Ivory Carving
After lingering in Biyu Spring for five days, Si Yiyan took her warm and elegant to the famous scenic spots such as Dianchi Lake, Shilin, Jiuxiang Karst Cave, Daguan Tower, etc. In addition, she took her to see the famous batik and traditional ornaments in Yunnan and Yunnan. Craftsmanship, colorful and unique with national characteristics, gave her a lot of design inspiration.
It is also worth mentioning that there are many special snacks in Yunnan and Yunnan, with unique flavors and a wide variety of varieties, which make Wenxinya feel unsatisfied every time.
Of course, the most amazing thing is the ivory carvings by Meilun and Meihuan in Yundian. The flowers and birds are beautifully shaped and vivid; The skills are skilled, reaching the realm of consummate fire; the layout is rigorous, reaching the place where you can see the subtle.
"I didn't know that there are such ingenious skills in this world."
Wenxinya stared at the top of the shelf, each piece of ivory carvings with solid and delicate texture and white and lustrous color, some couldn't take their eyes away, and their hearts were full of shock.
Si Yiyan took her hand and said, "We can take a look at it later."
His palms are dry and thick, his five fingers are white and slender, like cultivating bamboo joints, and the joints between the five fingers seem to have no wrinkles.
"Sir, madam, please come with me." An old man who was over sixty years old stepped forward and said to them respectfully.
Si Yiyan nodded and followed the old man to the guest room with Wen Ya.
The guest room is rare and elegant. There is an ink landscape painting on the wall of the main hall. Although it is not a famous brush and ink, it is quite artistic. Compared with my grandfather's brush and ink, it is somewhat competitive. There are two mahogany paintings on each side of the hall. The tea seat, behind the tea seat is a tall Bogu shelf, on which are placed antique jade ware, as well as some tea carvings, wood carvings, and most of them are ivory carvings.
Wenxinya noticed that the sculptures here are more exquisite than those seen in the lobby just now, and they must have been made by famous artists.
The old man ordered the servants to serve tea.
As soon as the tea lid is opened, the top-quality Shilixiang tea is fragrant and elegant, and the room is full of fragrance.
Si Yiyan explained to Wenxinya: "Here is Mr. Yu's house. He is the Big Dipper of Mount Tai in the sculpture industry. He has tens of millions of sculptures in his life. ], all the works carved by his hands are all ingenious, and the world is overwhelmed. There are not many rich and powerful people in the world who love to collect.
Wen Wenya studied jewelry making, and also dabbled in carving. Since she had heard of this Master Yu, she couldn't help but admire: "You brought me here today to ask for Master Yu's wonderful craftsmanship?"
Si Yiyan nodded: "This is natural."
Master Yu's nature is quite eccentric, and it is not easy to ask for his mastery. Especially in recent years, Master Yu has been reclusive and semi-retired. Few works have been published. If you want to ask for his works, Even more difficult.
However, he knew that Master Yu had been interested in landscape painting in recent years.
The ink paintings on the walls of the main hall are from his handwriting.
At this time, the old man who received them before walked in with a few servants holding red sandalwood boxes.
The old man respectfully said: "Master has something to do, and it is inconvenient to meet the distinguished guests. Please forgive me, Mr. and Mrs. The sculpture has been completed."
Several servants put the box on the long table.
Si Yiyan said in a low voice, "There is Master Lao Yu."
The old man retired with the servant, and only Si Yiyan and Wenxinya were left in the guest room.
Si Yiyan stepped forward with warmth and elegance and said, "The sculptures outside the lobby, including those in the guest room, are not from Master Yu's own hands, they are just for viewing pleasure."
Wen Wenya was taken aback. She thought that the works in the guest room were already ingenious and exquisite, but she didn't expect that it was not the work of Master Yu.
How amazing should Master Yu's works be?
Wen Xinya couldn't help but look forward to it.
"The first piece, called Fengqi Wutong, is the most gorgeous and exquisite work among the three pieces."
Si Yiyan opened the largest box, an ivory about one meter long was in the box, its texture was fine and firm, soft and delicate, its color was as bright and clean as jade, lustrous and soft, comparable to jade.
The ivory is carved into the shape of a phoenix phoenix. , The posture is noble, and every wing on the body is lifelike.
Gorgeous and stunning.
Wen Xinya only felt extremely shocked: "The carving skills are superb, reaching the perfection, the most ingenious, the best in the world, the work of creation, and the spirit of everything in the mountains and rivers. It really deserves its reputation."
The most rare thing about this phoenix phoenix tree is the complicated carving skills. From the carving of tree and leaf patterns to the wings of the phoenix, there are at least hundreds of carving skills used, especially the most complicated carving among carvings. , which accounts for half of the craftsmanship of this work.
"The second piece is a four-art hairpin, see if you like it or not."
Inside the box lie four elaborately carved hairpins, which are round, bas-relief, high-relief and openwork.
Each piece is exquisite, elegant and refined.
Although the style is simple, it is ingenious and simple, and the simpler the carving, the more it can reveal the exquisite skills of the sculptor.
"Oh my God, it's so beautiful." Wen Xinya was pleasantly surprised, she picked up a hairpin made of Shilixiang bas-relief and stroked it, she couldn't put it down.
Although the work of Fengqi Wutong, although stunning and beautiful, is rare in the world, it shocked her, but it can only be an admirable collection.
And these four hairpins won her heart even more and made her love them very much.
She didn't expect that Si Yiyan actually prepared such a surprise for her, and she was touched, sweet, and full of affection.
"Only with such ingenious skills can you be worthy of the unique you."
Si Yiyan gently took off the suet jade carving hairpin from her hair, and inserted another hairpin carved with white camellia into her hair. , emitting a soft and moist light, delicate and beautiful camellia, lifelike, as if blooming in her hair.
Light poles start to know that flowers are more beautiful.
Extremely plain, extremely elegant, extremely pale, extremely white, which makes her extremely beautiful.
Wen Xinya touched the hairpin between her hair and looked at the last box with great interest: "What's in the last box?"
With the first three stunning works, she is full of expectations for the third one.
Si Yiyan smiled lightly: "Don't you know when you open it?"
He thought it was a little strange. Before, Master Yu should have only ordered two of his sculpture works, but he didn't expect to have one more. However, he didn't go deep into it.
At this time, Wenxinya had already opened the last box, and when she saw the contents in the box, she couldn't help but exclaimed "Yeah".
