Yu Pang's words made the enchanting girl overjoyed. She rubbed the fat man twice with her tender and young body, as if the whole person wanted to melt into the fat man's body. Finally, she gave him a big red lipstick, while Yu Pang was always enjoying himself, just like an emperor.

Perhaps because she didn't think she was doing enough, the enchanting girl couldn't help saying in the fat man's ear, "thank you, Godfather. People will repay you at night, and they will promise you whatever you want"

on the other hand, the transaction price of the Ivory carving stunned Lin Xi and Zhou zhe at the same time. Zhou zhe even put his elbow on top of Lin Xi, Quite curious, he said: "Lin Zi, it's just a pair of ivory. How can it be so valuable? It's more than my allowance for several years before"

after hearing Zhou Zhe's words, Lin Xi was slandered in his heart. You can't be satisfied with your allowance of more than 100000 yuan a year, but I didn't have to work for three years to earn your allowance that year.

Of course, Lin Xi would not say his slander, but it happened that he still had a certain understanding of ivory products, so he did not hesitate to explain: "ordinary ivory carving or plant ivory is certainly not expensive, but the origin of ivory carving is unusual"

since Lin Xi decided to enter the antique world, he has been in a vicious circle To supplement all the knowledge related to antiques, for the moment, although his understanding of antiques is too one-sided, ivory is a special category in antiques, so he has a special understanding of the introduction of ivory.

Speaking of these ivory carvings, we have to say that the ivory horn carving, also known as the ivory horn ware, is divided into two kinds: ivory carving and horn carving, collectively known as ivory carving. It is not only one of the categories of antiques, but also inherits the excellent culture of our country, rich in profound cultural heritage and connotation.

Ivory carving, together with bamboo carving and wood carving, is called the three gates in carving technology. Its techniques are similar to those of bamboo and wood carving, and the shapes of utensils are mainly pen holder, armrest, ruler, pen holder and screen. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the high development of bamboo and wood carving art, ivory carving technology also developed.

China has a long history of dental horn carving. According to archaeological findings, its origin can be traced back to the primitive society in the Ming Dynasty. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, dental horn carving flourished day by day. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, dental horn carving techniques and techniques became more mature. Until the Ming Dynasty and the two dynasties, some craft carving, including dental horn carving, reached its peak and became an inseparable part of China's traditional culture It's an important part of.

Therefore, as early as thousands of years ago, the art of dental horn carving in China has developed to a very high level. Artists have made many exquisite utensils with ivory and rhinoceros horn, which are amazing to later generations and are regarded as the best collections.

In ancient times, Yajiao carving has always been regarded as the embodiment of auspiciousness and nobility. Emperors and generals of all dynasties have used it as the symbol of status and power, and the common people also regard it as the embodiment of auspiciousness.

In the international art market, China's ancient ivory carving art has been popular for many years. In October 1993, at the art auction held by suyanbi company in Hong Kong, a pair of palace lanterns with ivory Inlaid with emerald coral (carved with ivory as a frame, inlaid with crystal green emerald and soft coral) were sold for millions of Hong Kong dollars.

However, in the mid-1990s, the World Wildlife environmental protection organization issued a law, which listed the elephant as a protected animal and prohibited the hunting of elephants. Naturally, the ivory trade was also regarded as illegal. Similarly, rhinoceros is also listed as an endangered animal and protected today, so people can no longer carry out new rhinoceros horn carving art today.

It is precisely because of these factors that the market of Yajiao carving has been stimulated objectively. Since the late 1990s, as a very expensive category, the collection of Yajiao carving has been relatively unpopular in China.

But in fact, if we timely collect the ivory horn carvings of those times, workmanship and appearance, the return will be self-evident.

Of course, today we are mainly talking about ivory carving, which is a handicraft made of ivory.

According to textual research, the origin of ivory carving is very early. As far back as the hemupi culture and dawenkouwen site in the new stone age, exquisite carved ivory products were excavated, and ivory in the new stone age was a practical tool. Since then, with the passage of time, people's aesthetic consciousness has been constantly improved, tooth carving has gradually become a decorative goods, until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, tooth carving technology developed to the peak.

As for the so-called ivory carvings, they are also called Ivory horn carvings and ivory horn utensils. They refer to the carving process and its finished products made of ivory. They are an ancient Chinese traditional art and folk arts and crafts.

Ivory is the strongest part of an elephant. It is as smooth as jade, durable and precious as gems. Therefore, ivory has the reputation of "organic gems". Art works carved from ivory are highly valued by collectors for their solid, fine and smooth texture and exquisite carving art. It has become one of the unique varieties of antiques.

However, with the excessive hunting in recent years, wild elephants are almost on the verge of extinction. Therefore, in the 1980s, due to the surging global movement to protect wild animals, elephants became protected wild animals. Hunting is strictly prohibited. It is internationally stipulated that no country is allowed to sell ivory and ivory products, and our government also strictly abides by this regulation.From this, we can see that the value of the pair of ivory carvings photographed by fat man is no longer a simple pair of ivory carvings, but a symbol of identity. If there is no special identity or channel, where can we get such a pair of ivory carvings.

Moreover, from the perspective of carving technology, the pair of ivory carvings are definitely the best choice. They belong to hollow out carving, and the inheritance and refinement of their techniques have a long history.

After listening to Lin Xi's introduction and explanation, Zhou zhe can't help shaking his head. It seems that he feels incredible that Yu fatty spent so much money to win back such a flashy object.

In his opinion, it's very inhumane to hunt animals at will for a handicraft and his own selfish desire, even to the point of extinction, because all the values accumulated in the blood always seem so dirty and dirty, but there are so many such examples in history. Even if he wants to change, he can't help it Enough, can do is in the psychological disdain and disdain.
