Chang'e
CHANG E
Chinese bones are born with a hint of romance, this kind of romance, not ostentatious, not to mention high-profile, but there is a kind of moisturizing and silent gentleness, flowing in the blood, in every unexpected form. Chang'e, a "goddess of the moon" whose name is soaked in romantic imagination.
Her story is recorded in the ancient "Guizang". Shi Xian Li Bai once sighed like this: "White rabbit pounding medicine autumn and spring, who is Chang'e lonely neighbor with?" The great literary scholar Cao Xueqin also wrote: "Bode Chang'e should borrow a question, why not make eternal reunion." "In the pen of many poets and scholars, Chang'e always seems to be next to loneliness. However, her birth began with the romance of chasing the stars Chinese, and her name was transformed into a detection satellite in reality, which continued to guard this romance.
This work "Chang'e" captures this touch of romance. You see, the vast night, a silver moon, is piercing through the clouds, Chang'e is in it, looking at the jade rabbit, talking with the world, leisurely. She, cloudy sideburns, two peonies on her head, graceful and luxurious; her posture is wonderful, covered with cloud brocade, idyllic and elegant.

Li Bai was drunk
LI BAI ZUI JIU
Li Bai was an alcoholic all his life, both a poetry immortal and a wine immortal, and the Tang people also gave the reputation of "drunken saint". Wine is the medium of poetry, and poetry is the soul of wine. Li Bai's body has the grand and heroic temperament of the Tang Dynasty, the handsome and clear spirit, as well as the unassuming personality and otherworldly feelings of the literati, and the wine seems to stimulate all this and merge it in one place. Li Bai borrowed wine to express his chest directly and sprinkled it into a chapter.
In his wine poems, there is not only a proud romance, but also an arrogant and uninhibited freedom to cross the world. Therefore, Du Fu said in the "Eight Immortals song in drinking": "Li Bai has a hundred poems, and the restaurant in Chang'an City sleeps." Tianzi did not come to the ship, claiming that his subject was a wine immortal. ”
Li Bai and wine have endless stories, and "too white drunk" has also become the subject of many artistic creations throughout the ages. This Shoushan stone work is also based on this theme, making full use of the bright red and white colors of alpine stone. A few wisps of clouds, a full moon, and a large area of white space create a quiet atmosphere of the night moon. A red light, slightly drunken cheeks, and a red carving, hinting at the owner's hazy drunken posture.
In the whole work, the moon, wine, and people are all one. And look at the stone, the boy holds a lantern in one hand, and carefully supports the drunken shixian in the other. And Li Bai is staggering, relaxed, and seems to be immersed in the world of wine and poetry, so will he chant at this time: "Life must be full of joy, do not let the golden bottle empty the moon." I am born to be useful, and I will come back when all the money is gone. ”

Two Joe
ER QIAO
"From the attack to the Anhui, pull it out." When the bridge is two daughters, both are national colors. Cezina Bridge, Yuna Bridge. In Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Big and Small Qiao are two wonderful people with vague names, blurred faces, and vague status. Their age, temperament, and final outcome are impossible to find. Mean historians, stingy with ink, their appearance seems to be only a light touch in the heroic career.
Later generations stubbornly and naively believe that Sun Ce and Big Qiao, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao should be the perfect match between heroes and beauties, and like to add a bit of beautiful color to create a legend of "rushing the crown and anger into a red face". Later generations of Du Mu once ridiculed, "The East Wind does not cooperate with Zhou Lang, and the Copper Bird Spring locks erqiao." "But who has ever asked, big Joe and Joe, what are they looking forward to in the years?
The work "Two Joes" does not focus on heroes, but around the two sisters of Big and Small Joe themselves. It was a red April, the breeze was cool, and there were flowers blooming. The city of Anhui was not broken, and the two sisters went out of the boudoir together and went to the garden to enjoy the flowers and butterflies. Perhaps tired of playing, the two leaned under the banana leaves. One person holds a tuan fan and looks down at the spring flowers in the courtyard. The other was leaning against the sister's side, still holding the freshly folded flower in his hand. The two sisters have rounded faces, exquisite facial features, natural and smooth lines of clothing, and different looks, but there is a bit of shyness between the eyebrows. The embellishment of flowers and fans, with one hand and one foot, let them exude a subtle beauty, swaying out of the flexible and feminine style.
The carving of the whole work is exquisite and delicate, the proportions of the characters are coordinated, and the artistic conception of the picture is seamlessly integrated, which naturally brings the viewer back to the Three Kingdoms period and discovers a delicate and gentle daughter love in the disturbances.

Daughter Red
NV ER HONG
"The more women make wine and wine like rain, do not regenerate men and women." The daughter's family lives in the east of the east lake, and the spring night drops pearl red. "Shaoxing yellow wine is famous all over the world, and its daughter Hong, who is crystal clear in color and mellow and intoxicating, is particularly favored.
Daughter Hong is derived from the folklore of marrying with wine in ancient China. According to legend, this wine is buried when the daughter is born, until the daughter is married, and then it is used to accompany the marriage, which means festive and auspicious. Therefore, how big the daughter is, how mellow the wine is. A pot of daughter red, reminiscing about the story of her daughter's growth, and pinning on the deep love of her parents.
This work "Daughter Red", made of Lao stone, has a delicate mechanism and a warm color. The author Lin Fei uses different techniques such as circular carving, relief carving, and three-dimensional carving to carve out women, wine altars, tree holes, and leaves, and clearly presents the image and meaning of daughter red in front of the viewer.
The woman's ceremony is quiet and relaxed, and the wine is mellow and soft, and the two complement each other perfectly. Looking at this stone, you can imagine that a century-old tree is full of leaves, and there is a pot of mellow wine buried under the tree. The altar wine was prepared by a loving father for his newborn daughter. As the years passed, her daughter gradually grew, her eyes were good-eyed, gentle and lovely, and this altar wine also witnessed the time of her growth.
The whole work is exquisitely conceived, the layout is rigorous, the knife technique is delicate, and the tone and material of the stone are combined with the storyline and aesthetic mood, and the good relationship between the woman and the wine is told like a narrative.

She, the small character jade ring, is incomparably beautiful, has a variety of styles, and has won the grace of the king. Her story is beautiful and tragic, and her legend is still remembered by future generations. Thinking about it, she, three cups and two glasses of steps, a song of neon clothes known to the world, can't help but dream back to a thousand years ago, back to the day and night of "the golden house dressed up as a delicate waiter, the jade building feast drunk and spring".
"Noble concubines drunk" is a favorite subject of countless artistic creations. Even the same author has tried this in many different ways to give it a whole new lease of life. Lin Fei, a master of Chinese arts and crafts, once used different stones to freeze the drunken posture of the noble concubine under the knife.
This time, he used Shoushan alpine stone as raw material and adopted the technique of circular carving to make a new interpretation of "noble concubine drunk". On the stone, the graceful and plump noble concubine, with a loose bun, a delicate face, long eyelashes, eyes hanging low, water sleeves flicking, left hand lightly resting on the maid's shoulder, as if leaning, posture trance, light and wandering, hazy drunken eyes seem to be permeated with a slightly drunken shallow smile.

On the stone, Maitreya leaned on his chest and abdomen, leaned cross-legged, sat crossed, his arms were close to his body, folded and placed in an orderly manner, his hands supported his legs, the sleeves of his robe were hanging down in obedience, and the folds were soft and natural, as if letting the wind fly.
