C439 Lost art (1/2)
Those who knew how to play with jade all attached great importance to the jade factory. The factory entrance was different, the color was also different. There are four most famous factories in the history of Myanmar: Dui Sui, Pang Suo, Burmese Sui and Nanai Sui Sui.
A lot of emerald jewellery, emerald green crystal, mostly produced in the above four areas. But after hundreds of years of mining, many of these old pits are close to being hollowed out, and it is now difficult to see the jade in these old pits.
Today, the more famous craters are Pa Dang, Ma Fen Bend, Zka, Nanqi, Hakan, Mo Lu and Hou Jiang, and so on. Jade from different holes, different sizes, different husks, different quality.
Under the observation of Fang Yang's transparent eyes, the skin of the first piece of jade that Shi Shangfei had opened was obviously crystal clear, with rough hands and a relatively fine and even surface.
Ma Meng curved stone, the skin is uniform and thin, the skin is thick and thick, and the color is more blue, blue and white. No matter what, this piece of stone was definitely capable of cutting through.
He never thought that after his bad luck had improved, Shi Shangfei would still be able to perform so well. There was no need for luck in the face of absolute power.
However, Fang Yang did not mind, although Shi Shangfei's strength was not bad, he already had the Stone King of the first level in his hands, so he was not afraid that he could turn the tables.
What really caught Fang Yang's attention was the methods used by the people from the Gao Family. Although Fang Yang was young and there were not many opportunities for Gambling Stone, he had seen a lot of things.
Putting aside the fact that he was in Songjiang, or the East Sea, all of the absolute generosity that Fang Yang had seen all relied on modern, advanced techniques and sophisticated instruments to assist him.
But in the Gaoshengtai, Fang Yang was fortunate enough to see a ”water stool” that he hadn't seen in a long time! This is a kind of jade cutting machine driven by human work.
The Lithoclast of the Gao Family sat upright on a sturdy high stool and used his feet to move the pedal, causing the upper wheel to turn.
He held the millstone-sized piece of jade in his hand like a toy and began to grind it on the wheel. In general, small pieces of stone were cut and ground with gum onto an iron rod.
As for the millstone, it was only as big as a stone, so there was a need for several people to work together to complete it. No matter who it was, even if there was the slightest mistake, the entire piece of stone might be destroyed!
Before Fang Yang could sigh, Lithoclast had already removed the outer shell roughly. The millstone-sized stone was only the size of a watermelon.
Next came the grindstone polishing process. Unless every Lithoclast had Fang Yang's discerning eyes, then the next strike would be wrong.
The performance of the Gao Family Lithoclast s greatly expanded Fang Yang's horizons, ”Impressive! This was a true inheritance! I wonder how many treasures left behind by our ancestors have already been lost. ”
Wang Qiang shared the same thought, ”Indeed, taking this cut stone as an example, although machines can save energy, but no matter how precise the equipment is, there will definitely be times when something goes wrong. A small oversight could turn a piece of high-quality stone into scrap.
But these Lithoclast with rich experience can rely on their outstanding handperception and awareness to know when to hold back, when to hold back. This is something that can never be replaced by a machine. ”
Gu Xiaosong knew that Fang Yang was not the type of person to put on airs, so he felt more relaxed when he was by his side:
”Indeed, many of the ancient techniques here have already been preserved. The year before last, because I opened a good piece of jade and made a jade pendant, I personally witnessed another technique, the bamboo piece polishing.”
Fang Yang was more interested in these things and asked: ”What do you mean bamboo piece polishing?”
Wang Qiang explained from the side: ”As long as it's good materials that are opened in the old name, you can get the shop to directly process them for you.
Take Gao Family for example. He would absolutely not borrow the help of any advanced technology to completely comply with the inheritance of the older generation. In their eyes, jade was a Sacred Object. After it was contaminated with a machine, it would release its spirit energy.
