Chapter 509 Menezhi
It would be better if we hadn't found this jade.
"Let me see." Wang Lao and Gao Lao stood beside Chu Nan and saw Chi Le's reaction. They didn't know what they saw. They were very curious and stretched out their hands to Chu Nan.
Chu Nan had also finished looking at this micro-carving, which was a picture of a goshawk hunting a rabbit.
He was quite surprised. He didn't expect that someone could carve such a complex pattern on such a small jade.
And it was still around this jade. From one side of the jade, you can only see the goshawk. You need to turn the jade over to see the rabbit on the other side, but if you turn your hand, you can find that the combination is a goshawk hunting a rabbit.
I have to say that this craftsmanship is really wonderful.
At this moment, after listening to Wang Lao's words, he handed the jade and magnifying glass in his hand to Wang Lao.
"Wonderful, this is simply wonderful." After Wang Lao saw the jade, he began to look at it. After Wang Lao finished looking at it, he praised it, which aroused the curiosity of Gao Lao beside her.
After being twisted by Old Gao, Old Wang had no choice but to hand the jade in his hand to Old Gao.
After reading it, Old Gao, like Old Wang, praised it.
"It's not necessary, it's just a product of modern technology." Chi Le looked at the two old men and praised the jade like Chu Nan, saying with disdain.
"What do you know? This is not a modern product at all." Old Wang was immediately dissatisfied after hearing what Chi Le said.
"Look carefully at this painting. Judging from the way this goshawk is painted, it is not a modern craft."
"This is the painting style of Master Menezhi of Chengguo more than a thousand years ago." Wang Lang blushed when he said this.
Menezhi was a famous painter more than a thousand years ago. There are very few paintings left by him in the world. Even in the National Museum, there are only two paintings he painted.
However, there are many legends about his paintings, and in later generations, many painters like to copy his paintings.
So although not many of Menezhi's paintings have survived, there are many paintings that imitate his paintings.
Since it is a copy, it is natural to follow the style of Menezhi, so there are traces of Menezhi in those paintings, but they are not as good as Menezhi's paintings.
Old Wang and Old Gao have lived for so long, and naturally they have seen Menezhi's paintings, so they are relatively familiar with his painting style. Now seeing that there are traces of Menezhi's paintings on this piece of jade, and it seems to be an authentic work of Menezhi, how can it not make people excited?
"I have never heard that Master Menezhi can actually micro-carve?"
"Yes, but I think this should be carved by Menezhi himself, and it is impossible for someone else to do it."
Old Wang and Old Gao treated the piece of jade as a treasure, holding it in their hands, looking at it carefully with their heads against each other.
"Awesome!" Chi Le was speechless after hearing what the two said. He pushed Chu Nan with his shoulder and showed a look of admiration to Chu Nan.
He did not regret not giving it to Chu Nan after knowing that it was a micro-carving and was carved by the famous Mo Nezhi, as Chu Nan had thought before.
Chu Nan was very happy about this and felt that he was lucky to have such a friend.
On the other side, Mr. Wang and Mr. Gao were already calling their friend, who was an expert who had studied Mo Nezhi's paintings for decades.
"Young man, do you mind staying here for a while?" After the call, Mr. Wang asked Chu Nan.
Chu Nan shook his head. Mr. Wang was afraid that he would take the jade away if he left.
"That's good, that's good." When Mr. Wang saw Chu Nan shaking his head, he immediately laughed happily, like a child who got candy.
"Little brother, do you want to come to my house and sit for a while?" Gao Lao, who was standing by, thought that it might take more than half an hour for his friend to come over, and he couldn't let Chu Nan wait here.
"That would be troublesome." Chu Nan thought about the jade that he had asked Master Fang to open before. He had already opened all the jades, and the quality was very good. He had just asked someone to send the raw stones to the hotel.
It took a lot of effort to polish the stone by himself. Now my hands are still hurting, and my legs are a little sore after standing for so long.
After returning the magnifying glass in Gao Lao's hand to the owner, Chu Nan followed Wang Lao and others and left.
Wang Lao's house was not far from here, so Chu Nan and his friends came to Wang Lao's house soon. Chi Le also joined in the fun and went with Chu Nan.
Even Jin Bingcheng and Cao Jiangan came with them, after all, they were also very interested in the micro-carving that Chu Nan opened.
"Sit down." Wang Lao's house was an antique house with Jiangnan style.
After they welcomed Chu Nan into the living room, they ordered the servants to serve them tea and snacks.
"I wonder if it can open my eyes." Jin Bingcheng was already impatient to see what the v Diao looked like, but it had been held in the hands of Old Gao before.
At this time, since they had come to Old Wang's house and everyone sat down to rest, he wanted to quickly see what the micro-carving looked like.
"Yes, yes, take a look, take a look." Cao Jiangan echoed Jin Bingcheng's words.
"Then you have to be careful." Old Gao looked at the two of them and was a little reluctant, but in the end he handed the micro-carving to Jin Bingcheng.
"Isn't this amazing? I didn't expect the ancients to have such ability."
Jin Bingcheng and Cao Jiangan also praised it after reading it.
But they wondered why the ancients had such a scarce resource and could still have such a superb memory. They were very puzzled about this. Even modern technology could not carve paintings on such a small object.
After all, it is very troublesome to fix such a small jade. The machine will occasionally slide when operating. If there is a slight offset, the jade will be ruined.
In fact, many fine works still need to be operated manually. After all, machines are not omnipotent.
"Ouch." The two people looked together for a long time. Just when they wanted to return the jade to Chu Nan, they suddenly shook their hands and the jade fell to the ground.
"Hiss." Everyone saw the scene in front of them and couldn't help but take a breath.
"Where is it? Find it quickly." Old Wang and Old Gao were originally sitting on chairs, drinking tea and chatting with Chu Nan.
When they heard the noise here, they also became anxious.
