What Mr. Zhao said is not OK, and it is a completely different definition from what is not OK in other senses.

For example, iron-smashing flowers and silver-flowered filament craftsmanship are weak because they are not flexible and lose the market, so they gradually decline.

But the market for gold-inlaid jade has always been very good.

In other words, it is because its market is too good, which has led to its decline.

Thinking about how gorgeous a word gold and jade were inlaid.

Gold-inlaid jade is a craft that has existed since ancient times. It is said that this craft began in the Western Han Dynasty.

At that time, Wang Mang of Han usurped power and coerced the Empress Dowager to hand over the jade seal.

In a rage, the Empress Dowager threw the jade seal to the ground and broke a corner.

Later, craftsmen used gold to inlaid missing corners, which was called the "gold-inlaid jade seal".

"Gold-inlaid jade" was named after this and became an ancient art treasure of the highest specification.

Gold and jade are extremely luxurious themselves, and the poet Li Bai also praised the poem, "The golden cup is worth ten thousand wine, and the jade plate is worth ten thousand yuan."

The combination of gold and jade further sublimates their external gorgeous temperament and adds an unspeakable aura to it. The finishing touch is breathtaking.

Moreover, because of the particularity of gold and jade materials, only by ingenious design of the instrument and combining the two into one can craftsmanship become more dazzling and charming.

However, this art is slowly being eroded, and many people feel that it is a low-end handicraft when they mention gold and jade.

As for why?

Of course, it is caused by some people who use any means to make money.

Nowadays, the price of gold and jade in the mall is very high, and the merchants really dare to offer the price. They can get tens of thousands of yuan if they take out any piece.

The way to attract people to buy is to discount.

If you fight too much, others dare not buy it. After all, many people still believe in getting what you pay for.

So the merchant came up with another wonderful idea: lottery!

Yes, the reason why many people buy this kind of gold-inlaid jade is because they get the "precious" 20% off or 10% off.

More than 10,000 gold-inlaid jade can be bought in a thousand pieces. Are you moved?

You will be stunned when you buy it home.

The best nephrite that was supposed to be used was replaced directly with scraps and bracelets, and the remaining scraps on the brand!

The polishing is even more unpretentious. If you grind it, you won’t mention the roughness of the process.

The worst thing is that even gold is empty.

Nowadays, most of the gold inlaid with jade is gold foil.

1 gram of gold can make 1 square meter of gold foil, and a pendant will use about 4 square centimeters.

Calculated at 300 yuan per gram of gold, 2,500 pieces of gold inlay jade can be made of one square meter of gold foil, and the cost of each piece of gold foil is only one cent or two cents.

The most tragic thing is that those who use gold foil are already considered conscientious merchants.

The darker merchants are reluctant to use gold foil, so they apply it with brass and other materials, and then electroplate the surface, which looks no different from gold.

But it looks very thick and valuable because it contains some lead or other things.

With the negligible scrap jade, the low cost is almost negligible.

Some use Korean and Qinghai materials, and even Russian materials are very small, and the prices are in the range of a few to dozens of dollars.

What's more, even jade is not the case. They even use glass, plastic, stone, and a layer of color to replace it.

Most of them are mold pressing mechanics, and there is no question of ordinary handicrafts.

A piece of gold-inlaid jade of one or two thousand, guess what its original value is?

As this shoddy goods flow more and more into the market, gold-inlaid jade has become synonymous with many players.

The country cannot stop it, because it is indeed called gold-inlaid jade.

Mr. Zhao said with great pain: "It's really a waste of gold and jade... I'm making a sin."

"This..." Lu Zian didn't know how to comfort him.

He can also help with other publicity, but he has no way to start with Jin Xiangyu.

publicity?

No, it doesn’t need it at all. You can walk around any shopping mall and play with a lot of gold-inlaid jade ornaments.

"Ah, I won't mention it." Mr. Zhao waved his hand, and was very open-minded: "Let them do whatever they want, there are always times when they regret it."

As he said that, he took out all the treasures he had treasured and showed them to Lu Zian to appreciate.

In fact, Mr. Zhao's lineage has been the imperial lord bowl master of the court since the Qing Dynasty. By the way, Mr. Zhao has been the fifth generation descendant.

Lu Zian's eyes were finally attracted by a bowl with a very strange shape.

There are six pieces of this bowl in total, and each piece has different porcelain color and pattern.

Mr. Zhao followed his gaze and immediately smiled and said to Mr. Zhuo: "Master Lu really has a unique vision. Look, I will choose the best ones!"

With his explanation, Lu Zian realized that this bowl was the pinnacle of Mr. Zhao.

It is made of six pieces of official kiln porcelain pieces from different dynasties, and is connected with plum blossom nails, so that it can be leaky without leaking.

Such skills are really amazing.

"The turtle is also divided into thickness." Mr. Zhuo smiled and said, "The turtle is the turtle show. The turtle show originated from the Eight Banners children of the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners children "appreciate flowers and birds, play with porcelain and jade." Once the precious purple sand mud pot in their homes accidentally cracked, they would find a turtle to repair it. The turtle master can take advantage of the cracks to take advantage of the situation, using gold, silver, copper, and iron nails to produce a plum or a few bunches of peach blossoms. After being slightly polished, they can even double their value."

Lu Zian thought for a while and nodded: "I also saw it in a book. During the Republic of China, many players even deliberately filled new purple clay pots with soybeans and soaked them in water. They used the soybeans to crack the wall of the pot when they encountered water. Then they asked the maker to use silver nails to make painting patterns, and even the mouth, spout, and handle of the pot were taken advantage of to insert them into patterns..."

"Yes." Old Qian was quite fascinated in his eyes: "That was... the peak of our craftsmanship."

The craftsmanship of that era had reached its peak.

Then, like bubbles rising into the air, the dream broke.

Lu Zian looked at the fine golden thread connected to the porcelain piece, and his eyes were slightly deeper: "Master Zhuo, what's wrong with gold and silver?"

Gold and silver are wrong?

Mr. Zhuo looked at Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao and smiled: "Of course there is nothing to say, but after Mr. Ma, there will be no such amazing works."

Although Ma Ye is a widely accepted apprentice, and he explains it in detail in detail, his apprentice is also well-known, but...

It has to be admitted that none of them truly inherited the essence of Ma Ye.

No one can achieve the feeling of gold rippling with the jade.

"I want to try." Lu Zi'an moved his fingertips slightly, and his expression focused: "I want everyone to see what is the real gold and silver mistake."

Gold and silver mistakes were originally an extremely profound and elegant craft. Ma Ye re-studied it and reappeared it in the world, but unfortunately it was just a flash of light.

After Ma Ye passed away, gold and silver mistakes slowly slid down from the altar.

Nowadays, many of the works produced by Ma Ye’s apprentices simply do not meet the standards required by Ma Ye back then.

If you let it go, then the gold and silver mistake will be the next gold-inlaid jade.

Only by increasing the difficulty of this skill to a point that the imitator simply cannot reach can its value be guaranteed from the source.

Now his jade carving skills have been upgraded to the advanced level.

He can't be sure what will happen to the master level.

But he had a premonition that it was possible to achieve the problem of using advanced gold and silver mistakes.

After hearing his words, Mr. Zhuo fell into deep thought.

Mr. Zhao didn't think too much: "Okay, do it, I know Ma Zheng. If you want to learn, I will borrow Ma Master's notes for you."

"Nothing." Old Master Zhuo frowned and glared at him: "Old Zhao, don't make trouble. This matter is big or small. It's really not that simple."

He looked at Lu Zi'an with a cautious expression: "Master Lu, do you want to take Master Ma as your teacher? Or do you learn it yourself?"

Mr. Ma has passed away...

How to become a disciple?

Lu Zian laughed and shook his head: "I'm going to learn by myself."

"I remember Zhuo Peng told me that Ma Zheng had sent you a lot of jade materials. I think he might not have been thinking of accepting you in the door." Mr. Zhuo thought about it more long-term: "Although we know that you are kind to you, everyone under Mr. Ma's disciples may not appreciate it. After all, your move is equivalent to cutting off people's and wealth."

For example, gold and jade have become a business for many people to make a living. Is Mr. Zhao really unable to do anything?

There are still some.

But he didn't care at first, but now he has lost his position of care.

"That's what it means." Lu Zian slowly stood up: "Jinyingyu has already been like this. Do you have to see that the gold and silver mistakes have fallen to this point?"

Mr. Zhuo pressed his forehead and said, "Master Lu, you can't save all the skills. Xiaopeng told me that many people have come to him under the guise of an old artist in the past few days, but they are all machine-processed objects. I deliberately make old things and want to negotiate with him. Do you know what this means?"

Represents.

Lu Zian is no longer just making small fuss.
