A treasure-appraisal maniac

Although the emperor is called the True Dragon Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the term "dragon chair" did not appear until the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Moving forward, the chair the emperor sits on is called "throne" or "throne" , but the meanings are the same, representing the supreme authority.

In the early years of the Jiajing reign, the Manufacturing Office was ordered to design the True Dragon Throne. The Manufacturing Office took the order and spent nine months designing the first draft, three months selecting materials, and another year and six months before it was completed.

At this point, between the two red gold pillars of the Jinluan Hall, there were seven days and seven lifespans, a gold-lacquered dragon-patterned Jiangshan Sheji screen, and the world's best gold chair carved with dragons.

This project was time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the finished product was as powerful as a rainbow and fully reflected the royal majesty. At this point, the first and only legitimate dragon chair in the feudal dynasty was born.

This dragon chair has reached the ceiling of the industry in terms of both design and craftsmanship. It can be said that it cannot be copied. Therefore, even if the emperor changes, or even the dynasty changes, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties take charge of the world, this dragon chair still sits firmly in the Golden Palace. .

After the Qing Dynasty came to power, they successively replaced the furniture and equipment that they liked. However, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were not willing to replace this dragon chair. The only piece of furniture created, regardless of its quality or historical significance, this large chair carved with dragons and painted with gold is a well-deserved national treasure of China.

But unfortunately, during the Republic of China, a super prodigal son appeared in China.

After Yuan Shikai's restoration, he didn't know whether it was because he wanted to adhere to his reform ideas or because he felt it was unlucky, so he threw away the unique and precious gold chair with carved dragon and embroidery. It would have been better to replace it with a better one. But Lao Yuan actually built a Chinese and Western Incorporating a nondescript chair as a symbol of one's royal power is simply ridiculous.

Fortunately, in 1959, Mr. Zhu Jiaxu rediscovered this dragon chair in a warehouse where worn-out furniture was stored based on old photos. However, due to neglect and vandalism, this valuable treasure was seriously damaged. Later, Mr. Kong personally took charge and gathered all the old treasures. It took skilled craftsmen more than a year to complete the restoration of this important treasure, and then brought it back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where it once again glowed with its past glory. It is precisely because of this that people today are lucky enough to see its true appearance. This is The pride of Gubo is also the achievement that Mr. Kong is proud of. Mr. Kong mentioned this journey to Lu Fei more than once.

Before, Lu Fei also occasionally obtained a dragon chair among Wei Zhongxian's treasures, but no matter the style, meaning or status, there was no comparison with this Chinese national treasure.

And now, in Zhuo Feifei's workshop, Lu Fei saw this "dragon chair" again.

However, this is no longer a rosewood carving with gold, but Zhuo Feifei using her skillful hands to weave it bit by bit.

As of now, this work has basically been completed, and all that remains is polishing, coloring and gold painting.

Although it may not look like bamboo weaving art, it is a complete one-to-one replica of the national treasure in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Even if it is not completely completed, just taking a look at it is enough to make your blood boil.

"How's it going? Is it okay?" Zhuo Feifei said with a proud smile.

But unfortunately, at this moment, Lu Fei regarded her as nothing. He only had this beautiful work in his eyes. A little dazed, Lu Fei strode forward. He was regarded as nothing, but Zhuo Feifei regarded her as nothing. He stamped his feet angrily.

Coming closer, Lu Fei stretched out his hand to touch it gently, looking at it carefully bit by bit, and rarely even took out a ruler to measure it carefully.

The throne is 172.5 centimeters high, and the base is 49 centimeters high. These are extremely fine dimensions, and they are exactly the same as the real thing.

The whole body of the throne is carved with dragons and painted with gold, and the decoration is as sacred as possible. The seat surface is square with a circle in the middle and plain.

The waist is girded below the seat surface, the legs are bulging and the teeth are bulging, and there is a mud support.

The backrest and armrests are made into seven screens and installed with movable tenons. The throne is entirely decorated with lotus flowers and lotus leaf patterns, and the thick thin bamboo on the backrest and pillow is woven into the shape of a lotus leaf. The technique is natural and rounded. With Lu Fei's memory, he can be sure that the appearance is almost exactly the same as the real thing. Such strictness makes Lu Fei Fei was shocked.

Looking at the craftsmanship, he was even more amazed. All the patterns and decorations were completely made of hand-woven bamboo. The widest bamboo strips were less than one centimeter, and the smallest ones were as thin as hair. This craftsmanship and endurance, This ability makes him, a skilled craftsman, a little disappointed.

Since the throne is made of bamboo, the inside must be hollow, but Zhuo Feifei made a special design and made thousands of tie bars inside to reinforce it, and each tie bar has been specially processed by art, so that it can be interlaced according to the rules. It is even more painstaking. When you look into it, not only does it not feel inconsistent, but it even adds some extra bonus to this work.

The upper part of the throne adopts an armchair-style backrest, and the lower part supports a wide "Xumizuo"-style seat and footrest. The design adopts the most noble form.

Thirteen golden dragons are distributed and coiled around the back of the chair, and the remaining parts are in fire bead patterns, cloud patterns, curly grass patterns, etc. The only flaw is that there is no gold foil wrapping or gem inlay, but this is not what Zhuo Feifei can do. However, all the inlay openings and seats that should be left have been reserved. This is extremely fine and is simply perfect.
