Men hollowed out 14 tons of jade to build "Donghai Dragon Palace". After the finished product, experts suggest handing it in. What was the result?

The Dragon Palace in Donghai is the palace of the Dragon King in the Middle East in ancient Chinese myths and legends. There is a jewelry vault, a dragon hall, a dragon prison and a dragon bedroom in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. There are thousands of soldiers, generals, sea hags, turtle prime ministers and dragon princes. The first piece of jewelry is Donghai Dragon Ball, which is priceless.

What really makes the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea a household name is the old version of The Journey to the West, which is almost the childhood memory of all China people. Winter and summer vacations are always broadcast on various TV stations. Although the scene in the play is rough because of the age limit, it does not prevent it from becoming a classic. Now many scenes of the drama are more or less influenced by this version of Journey to the West, such as the underwater Dragon Palace full of psychedelic colors.

There is a master engaged in carving in Shoushan Boulder. His name is Lin Zhen. He found a huge stone on Shoushan Mountain. However, he did not intend to sell it, but used it to help him realize his dream. Just because this Niudan stone in Shoushan is too big and heavy, in order to carry it, they finally built a road and transported it down from the mountain by crane.

Pulling to the door, I met another problem. The original jade is too big to get in through the door. Later, Lin Zhen invited a moving company to let the crane lift the original jade stone, and it took a whole day to move the original jade stone to his yard.

This original jadeite stone originally belonged to the private property of a Burmese jadeite mine owner. This original jade has been standing in the mining area since the ancestors of the mine owner were still alive. No one knows how many years it has existed. I was going to cut it to see if it was worth some money, but its skin was rough and its texture was poor, and it was not allowed to be cut every time in the mine, so this jade has been standing in Shoushan.

This boulder weighs 13.8 tons, which is a cow egg field. Cow egg farm is one of the traditional "Four Yin Zhangshi" in China. This stone is mainly produced in Shoushan Township, Fujian Province, so it is also called "Shoushan Stone". Although it is not as expensive as Tian Huangshi, its own output is not much, and it is moist and calm. If handled properly, this will be a very unique stone.

Jade carvers' skills have always been regarded as manual workers, but in fact, in many fields, there are many craftsmen with professional skills and advanced techniques, which will bring new breath to the whole society.

In jade carving masters, we can see incredible ingenuity and great wisdom, and all this comes from their ultimate pursuit of details. ...

Jade carving is to win by details, bearing the artistic culture of jade carving, emphasizing the original spirit in line with the spirit of the times from the "art", and then integrating one's own thoughts into the whole work, thus improving the culture and vitality of the whole jade carving work.

Lin Zhen is a famous local jade sculptor. He is a friend of the mine owner and often buys goods from the mine owner. This time, the mine owner invited Master Lin to visit his mining area. On the first day he came to the mine, he found this original stone and took a fancy to it at once, as if he had arranged it himself.

Lin Zhen liked The Journey to the West's story very much since he was a child, so he decided to use this stone to carve the scene of The Journey to the West, which is also his favorite plot of "Dragon Palace Borrowing Treasure". Now that he had an idea, Lin Zhen quickly drew a sketch on the surface of the stone.

He also revised the design. In the hot summer, it is really not easy to dive into the stone ... This fish tank carved from jadeite stone is 2.2 meters long, 1.8 meters high and 1.3 meters thick. When Lin Zhen carved, he kept the surface of the whole jadeite stone, and the scenes of mythical characters were all portrayed with one knife and one knife.

No matter whether it is hot or cold, windy or rainy, Lin Zhen always insists on carving his own works and gives full play to his creative passion. Although he is tired sometimes, he never wants to give up. After two years of careful carving, the general appearance has been completed, and the general style of his works can be seen preliminarily.

It took five years for the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to be finally built, which is really not easy. After returning to the scene of restoring the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, Master Lin put the fish in and swam around. The lifelike Dragon Palace in the East China Sea is carved with amazing details.

When some rich people saw this work, they asked Master Lin to make an offer for it, but Master Lin waved his hand and said that this work was not for sale, because it not only entrusted his childhood dream, but also was priceless in his heart.
