Favorites -"Three Taboos" and "Four Afits"
"Book of Rites" said: "Gentlemen do not go for no reason." In the historical and culture of Chinese and culture in China, the hobby of jade It is one of the characteristics of the Chinese nation. Jade has a rich spiritual content. It symbolizes noble, pure, friendship, auspiciousness, etc. It is a widely circulated token of the people. The Chinese Pei Yu to avoid evil and eliminate the murder, people are proud of the beauty, and jade becomes a custom of people's customs. a part of.
Anly for thousands of years of inheritance and development, from prehistoric, elegant, elegant to Qin and Han dynasties, and then developing to the exquisiteness of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "You need to follow. The so -called "three taboos" refers to Gu Yu's "avoid oil", "avoid fishy", "avoid turbid gas"; the so -called "four fear" refers to ancient jade "fear ice", "fear of fire", "daunting ginger water" , "Fear".
The so -called "taboo oil" refers to ancient jade to avoid contact with greasy. This is because the oil can block the fine pores of the jade, so that the gray soil in the jade can not come out, and the jade will not be moisturized, and the so -called "clear light" cannot be transparent. Jade articles are naturally infiltrated by water or soil or impurities in the micro -fine pores for a long time. The purpose of maintenance is to "vomit" their impurities as much as possible. Some people think that the ancient jade is wiped with some peanut oil or some human oil on the nose, nose, and hair, which can make the ancient jade look bright and warm, but it is a taboo, but it is harmful to jade. Once you are greasy, there are two solutions. One is to boil with boiling water for a while, and the oil can be returned.
"avoids fishy" refers to the contact of the jade articles with the fish. The chemical ingredients contained in the fishy or fishy fluid, such as braised salt, have a certain corrosion of jade articles, which will cause jade damage. Therefore, ancient jade should avoid touching the fish.
The principle of "avoiding filth" is similar to "avoiding oil", so when playing with jade, wash your hands in advance.
As for the so -called "fear ice", it means that ancient jade is often close to ice or was frozen, then the color is not alive, no moisturizing, which is called "dead color". Some people think that putting ancient jade in the refrigerator will make it "transparent" and "qualitative", which is really a big mistake. This may make the jade cracks and cannot be saved.
"fear of fire" means that if ancient jade often approaches the fire or heat source, it may make the "color paste" fade. "Color paste" mainly refers to the surface gloss and transparency of jade. The ancient jade is hot, especially high temperature, which can cause the production of cracks, and it can also hurt jade, thereby losing gloss and reducing transparency. Don't say that it is ancient jade, even the new jade, the same is true.
"Ginger Water" means that some people think that "ginger water" is a deodorized deodorization, which can remove the ancient jade's soil or rotten odor. In fact, the contact with ginger water often makes the existing color dim. If it is immersed for too long, it will make the jade wares be numb and it is difficult to remedy.
"Fear" means that when the wearer is frightened or accidentally drops the jade or collided with a hard object, the jade is "shattered" and the light is cracking. Because under the collision, the internal structure will always be affected. Even the fine cracks that are not visible to the naked eye are also the hidden dangers of jade. Therefore, the player pays attention to calmness, abstain from irritability. "
Gu jade must play, and must play more to restore our ancient jade. The ancients played like this. Known as "Panyu". Most of the ancient jade unearthed are colored, but it is not dim, so it is expensive. If you get a piece of old and many kinds of ancient Pei jade, if you do not play it, it is equivalent to violent heavenly things. The nature is also different. For example, the south comes from the puddle, or the ground is particularly humid and the strata are particularly accumulated. The ancient jade unearthed is rust. The north comes from dry pits, and most of the ancient jade erosion. If it is from the fire pit, the jade body of Gu Yu is dry. Due to the eclipse of the soil, and the torment of the dampness of thousands of years, even if the ancient jade has the most beautiful and rich color, it will be hidden and hidden. Yuli itself has dark colors, and at the same time, it has accumulated a lot of dirty air. If we do n’t play it, it will not be revealed, the color cannot be revealed, and the dirty air will not except. If you want to appear the color of the gemstone in the ancient jade, you must pay attention to it.
The method of playing jade in ancient Chinese people is mainly divided into three methods of jade: one is an emergency disk, the other is a slow disk, and the third is the intention. Let's talk about the emergency disk. The emergency disk must be wearing it with the popularity and raising it; because the human body is hot and sweaty. After wearing it for a few months, the texture of Gu Yu will gradually harden. At that time, we could wipe it with a clean old cloth, rub it until it improved, and then wipe it with a new cloth. No, do not use colored cloths. It should be more appropriate with white cloth and thick cloth. As we get the more hot, the hotter jade, so it cannot be interrupted. The more you rub, the more naturally the turbid gas and dryness of the gray earth are naturally fading. Although clouds and emergency disks, they also have a long time: in addition to emergency disks, the second type of ancient jade in my country is slow. The so -called slow disk method is to often raise Pei Yu in the waist and raise it with popularity. , Slow -up must have patience, not impatient, and it can also be said to be a method of nourishing the ancients. Usually two or three years slowly, the color of the ancient jade is only displayed. It has to be "raised" for several years, and the pigment is not easy. If we have more than ten years, the ancient jade may be restored. However, according to Cong Gang's experience of playing jade experts, the ancient jade during the Qin and Han dynasties was wearing it for more than ten years in the waist before recovering. The ancient jade of Xia Shang on Wednesday, the ancient jade on Wednesday, must be worn longer, five times, six times the time, that is, more than sixty years, and it is easy to recover.
It some of the Warring States Periods were commanded in ancient times. Therefore, the ancients said that Shangjiabao Yu can be psychic, and it is better to wear a life. With the author's own experience, regardless of the two methods of emergency and slow disk, the longer the ancient jade enters the soil, the more difficult it is to produce the original quality. Expost. Those who are too fast and close to profit, say that they learn to play with ancient jade; as long as they wear three or two pieces, day and night, they can train and lively, because Panyu's effort is not fast. The third is the meaning of the sense, which is a method of personal love for the author, because it is directly contacting to show cherish and love. The ancient literati and elegant love this method. This method can cooperate with each other. The intention is to play by hand, treasure. The ancients so -called, always rubbing, and the virtue of the jade, enough to turn my temperament, and make my temperament. Distinguish Lu. This method is like writing paintings. There are many people who are puzzled, but they must work hard, and there are fewer people who can do it.
