    At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the Tianhuang seal in Chu Chen's hand.  This square field yellow stone is large and square, with a particularly greasy, warm, and fine texture. The condensed jelly has an indescribable oily feeling. Its color is natural and soft, with a light "orange peel yellow" color, and its texture contains extremely delicate radish patterns.  , dense and ready to melt, the red veins are obvious and easy to distinguish, and the texture is clear and typical. It is obviously an excellent piece of Tianhuang frozen stone.  Lu Changshun sat next to Chu Chen and saw it very clearly. He immediately exclaimed and said, "It's actually a "Bo Yi" seal!" The "Bo Yi" Lu Changshun mentioned was the Shoushan stone seal.  a unique expression technique.  It is gradually derived from the relief technique. It is "shallower" than bas-relief. Because the carving layer is thin and rich in painting, it is called "Boyi".  Because of his fluent carving skills, meticulous carving, and blanching shadows, he is highly appreciated and respected by epigraphic painters.  Bo Yi art was developed on the basis of the ancient patterns and brocade reliefs on stone seals in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.  It had begun to take shape during the Kangxi period, and was perfected during the Yongzheng period. During the Tongzhi and Guangxu years, Pan Yumao and his brothers, artists of the "Ximen" school, specialized in deep knife carving, laying the foundation for Bo Yi carving.  By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Lin Qingqing absorbed the essence of Chinese painting art, merged sculpture and painting in one furnace, and used a knife instead of a brush to inventively elevate the art of Bo Yi to a new level, making it a unique art form among Shoushan stone carvings.  Bo Yi carvings are known for their "emphasis on elegance, fine workmanship, and closeness to painting principles." It integrates calligraphy, seal cutting, and painting. It is a unique art between painting and sculpture. Because of this, excellent Bo Yi carvings  The works often have extraordinary artistic charm and are particularly valuable for appreciation.  The square field yellow seal in Chu Chen's hand is lightly engraved with mountain and stone cloud patterns on the surface. The scenery shown is full of mountains and floating clouds. It can be achieved with just a few strokes.  The elegant style and far-reaching artistic conception fully demonstrate his superb swordsmanship.  This chapter pays great attention to painting theory and pays attention to pen and ink. The whole picture is like a landscape painting with a distant artistic conception, which is beautiful and moist.  Ingenious workmanship.  "The mountains are as quiet as ancient times, and the days are as long as a small year" are engraved on the bottom.  Chu Chen picked up a magnifying glass and carefully observed the seal in his hand, then placed the seal in front of Lu Changshun and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, I think this seal was probably made by Master Lin Qingqing, can you take a look?  "What? Lin Qingqing?" The experts at the scene and some Tibetan friends who had studied Bo Yi carvings heard Lin Qingqing's name.  Everyone was very surprised. Lu Changshun quickly picked up the magnifying glass and seriously evaluated it.  "Who is this Lin Qingqing?" someone asked.  Someone among the collectors explained: "Lin Qingqing was a master of Bo Yi carving in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China! He was fond of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and learned Bo Yi carving from Chen Keying, a master of Shoushan stone carving. Because of his talent and hard work,  He had become famous even before he was born. " "He felt that his artistic skills were weak, so in order to specialize in Bo Yi sculpture, he temporarily put aside the carving knife and studied ink painting as a teacher, from which he learned the brushwork, composition and theory of Chinese painting.  Later, he sought inspiration from ancient stone carvings and portrait bricks. After five years of learning and mastering, he returned to his old profession and specialized in Bo Yi.  Diligent, he created a new style of Bo Yi art. He integrated the essence of traditional Chinese painting art and ancient sculpture into the art of stone carving. He is the most outstanding Bo Yi art master in modern times. " "Gong Lun's "  "Shoushan Stone Book" praised him as "unparalleled in exquisiteness, he can really use a knife as well as a pen, and he is unique among the two families of Yang Yuxuan and Zhou Shangjun."  "Xiong Wenyong, a famous Chinese painter at that time, saw his works. He once exclaimed: Qing Qing's paintings of stone are beyond the reach of human painting paper. He is the one who passed down the stone painting." After listening to the man's explanation, some people were immediately surprised.  Said: "If Lin Qingqing is so powerful, then this square seal should not be cheap, right?" Someone in front said: "Of course it is not cheap. Putting aside Lin Qingqing's craftsmanship, the quality of this square Tianhuang seal is very extraordinary, just in terms of materials.  , I estimate it is worth half a million, and with the celebrity effect, I think this seal can be worth seven to eight hundred thousand!" When people around heard that this seal was so valuable, they were immediately in an uproar.  "It seems that this is the road to heaven and earth!" "Yes! It's just a pity that if this seal doesn't have an inscription, it would be even more valuable" While the audience was talking about it, Lu Chang  After Shun Ye finished reading, Chu Chen quickly asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, do you think this square chapter is Lin Qingqing's work?" Lu Changshun said with a smile: "Is it Lin Qingqing's work? Let's first talk about the characteristics of Lin Qingqing's work.  , Xiao Chu, you should know that Lin Qingqing¡¯s depiction of the surface of Bo Yi¡¯s scenery is unique.On the raw surface, the tree trunk knots, petals, flowers and leaves, the structure of the figures and the pleats of clothes are all carved with small round knives. The density of the knives is uniform, and flowers appear on the knives and pens.  " "He uses round or semi-circular knives for smoke, clouds, rocks, etc. The knife technique is round, smooth and simple, combining hardness and softness, and balances both sides. However, the freehand bamboo leaves, reeds, etc. mostly retain the smooth surface, and the tail of the bamboo leaves is intentionally in line with the bottom.  The ground blends into one another, giving it a more interesting and three-dimensional feel.  His skill in carving water patterns is particularly admirable. He can't change it with just a few knives. He really doubts that he has divine help.  " Having said this, he concluded: "To sum up, the characteristics of this seal carving are all in line with Lin Qingqing's style, so I think this seal should be Lin Qingqing's work, and it is also one of his masterpieces.  , very rare.  " "Shopkeeper Lu, if you say that, I'll be relieved.  "Chu Chen said with a smile. "Brother, how much is this thing worth?  "Aunt Li asked cautiously. Chu Chen discussed with Lu Changshun first, and then said with a smile: "Just now I seemed to have heard a Tibetan friend say that this seal is worth seven or eight hundred thousand. I think he really understands it.  More accurately, after discussion between Teacher Lu and I, the market value of this seal should be 800,000!  " " Bang bang bang!  "As soon as Chu Chen finished his words, whoever raised his head suddenly burst into thunderous applause. And the Tibetan friend whom Chu Chen mentioned just now was even more red-faced, smiling so hard that his mouth was almost grinning.  It was a great honor for him to be recognized by an expert teacher. At the same time, when Aunt Li heard Chu Chen say the words "eight hundred thousand", there was a buzz in her head.  In an instant, she lost the ability to think. It wasn't until Chu Chen called her twice that she came back to her senses. "Aunt Li, are you okay?"  "Chu Chen asked with some worry. "It's okay!  Aunt Li waved her hand quickly, and then asked: "Brother, can I really sell something like that for 800,000?"  " "Yes, it can indeed be sold for 800,000!  "Chu Chen nodded affirmatively. After receiving Chu Chen's affirmative reply, Aunt Li immediately cried with joy. With this money, her grandson's life should be saved. There is nothing in the world that can make her better than this."  Are you happy? Seeing that Aunt Li's mood fluctuated a bit, Chu Chen quickly asked the staff to take her aside to comfort her. As for the transaction of the Buddha statue and Tian Huang seal, let's talk about it later, but there were many people in the audience.  People are watching with eager eyes. It seems that many people are interested in these two things
