=======================================
中國古代歷史上四大美女之一 "西施 Shi Shy"
One of Top 4 Famous Beauties of Ancient China in the History
"Queen Shi Shy" was a very famous "Spy-Beauty" sent by the revenging King Yueh Wang Gou Jiann, in order to attract his main military enemy King Wu Wang Fu Chai in year 494 B.C. during the Eastern Zhou Warring-States-Period China. The King Wu Wang Fu Chai was then naturally being always attracted by her infinite beauty and became too busy enjoying with her as to ignore the national military constant constructional duties. She faithfully completed her spy-works beside the King of her enemy nation for the country she had devoted to. In year 476 B.C., The King Wu Wang Fu Chai was eventually killed by the King Yueh Wang Gou Jiann, in a state of exhaustion after 3 years' longtime continuous nation-surrounded-by-troops-type fightings.
西施是由欲復仇的越王勾踐所選派的一位非常有名的 "美女間諜", 以便在西元前494年中國東周戰國時期送往他的主要軍事敵國吳國迷惑吳王夫差. 吳王夫差自然為其無窮的美麗所迷惑而忙於與她享樂, 終致不理會國家的經常性軍事建設. 她為自己所奉獻的祖國忠誠地完成在敵國吳王夫差旁的間諜任務. 最後在西元前476年, 吳王夫差遭越軍於連續圍城三年後自殺而死, 吳國因戰敗而滅亡.
=======================================
中國古代歷史上四大美女之一 "貂蟬 Diau Charn"
One of Top 4 Famous Beauties of Ancient China in the History
"Diau Charn" was the adopted daughter of the high ranking Official (Sy Twu) Wang Yeun in the end of Eastern Han China (Year 189 - 196). At that time the Generalissimo Doong Jwo controlled the government by military force. The Emperor Han Shiann Dih had lost his power to the Generalissimo. Leu Buh was the chief general and the adopted son of the Generalissimo Doong Jwo. Then the Official (Sy Twu) Wang Yeun planned out a "coup with coup" strategy to assassinate the Generalissimo Doong Jwo. He first granted the beautiful daughter "Diau Charn" to be the wife of Leu Buh who was the son of the Generalissimo Doong Jwo. Once Leu Buh had fallen in love with Diau Charn's beauty, then he purposely presented the beautiful daughter Diau Charn to be the concubine-wife of the Generalissimo Doong Jwo. This caused the jealous son Leu Buh stabbed his own father i.e. the Generalissimo Doong Jwo to death after a quarrel between father and son for the same pretty young love "Diau Charn" at home.
貂蟬是西元189年至196年之東漢末年高官司徒王允的義女. 當時東漢王朝之中央大權為大將軍董卓的軍事力量所控制, 漢獻帝已經失權於大將軍董卓. 呂布為大將軍董卓的義子與大將. 司徒王允便設下連環計以刺殺大將軍董卓, 他先把貂蟬許配給呂布, 等呂布愛上貂蟬後, 再將貂蟬獻給大將軍董卓. 此舉導至妒忌的呂布在家中為了同一個年輕愛人貂蟬而與義父董卓激烈爭吵後, 一刀刺死了大將軍董卓.
=======================================
中國古代歷史上四大美女之一 "楊貴妃 Yang Guifei"
One of Top 4 Famous Beauties of Ancient China in the History
"Queen Yang Guifei" (719 - 756) was nominated as the Concubine Queen of Emperor Tang Shyuanzhong in year 745 of Tang Dynasty. She was so beautiful that she was always making the Emperor to ignore the country duty. Thus in year 756, the army garrison troops forced the Emperor to kill her, otherwise they should all rebel against the Emperor. Then the Emperor had to kill her with a rope in front of troops by his own order without any choice.
楊貴妃 (楊玉環) 於西元745年為中國唐朝皇帝唐玄宗冊封為"貴妃".
她是如此美麗, 常使唐玄宗不理國事. 因此, 在西元756年皇帝禁軍將士發生兵變, 請殺貴妃, 唐玄宗不得不縊殺之, 以阻兵變.
=======================================
中國古代歷史上四大美女之一 "王昭君 Wang Jaujiun"
One of Top 4 Famous Beauties of Ancient China in the History
"Wang Jaujiun" was a civil beauty. She was selected as a to-be-queen into the Imperial Palace in 38 B.C. by the Emperor Han Yuan Dih of Han Dynasty. But she was so confident of her own beauty, thus she refused to bribe the Palace painter Mau Yanshow as other beauties had all done. Then the Palace painter Mau unhappily painted her out to be an ugly girl as her portrait and presented it to the Emperor who hadn't yet seen her. Meantime Western Mongolian King asked to marry a princess from the Han Dynasty for peace. So the Emperor jokingly nominated this "ugly girl on the painting" to be the princess for this peace marriage. At that very day of this marriage, once the Mongolian King saw the beauty, he was so happy as to swear not to invade China. But the frustrated Emperor had to cut off that Palace painter Mau's head. The descendants of Wang Jaujiun with the Mongolian King hundreds of years later conquered the Eastern Europe, built up a Hungarian Empire (Hungary, Serbia,...etc), fought against and finally caused the collapse of Roman Empire in the history.
王昭君是個平民美女. 於西元前38年為中國漢朝漢元帝選入宮中. 但王昭君對於自己的美麗充滿信心, 不願意像其他宮女般去賄賂宮中畫匠毛延壽. 不高興的毛延壽便將她的肖像畫成一位醜女並獻給未曾看過她的漢元帝觀賞. 此時匈奴王欲娶漢朝公主和親, 漢元帝便開玩笑似地將畫中醜女充作漢朝公主嫁給匈奴王. 結婚當日, 匈奴王一見新娘如此美麗, 便發誓不再侵犯中原. 充滿挫折感的漢元帝便將宮中畫匠毛延壽砍頭治罪. 王昭君與匈奴王的後裔於數百年後征服了東歐, 在歷史上建立了匈奴帝國(匈牙利, 賽爾維亞,...等地), 與羅馬帝國對戰, 並造成羅馬帝國的垮台.

佛光山開山宗長星雲大師於其所著的"星雲日記命運的主人"一書中,記載1994年2月27日星期日下午,為舉行籌募佛光大學創校經費的"當代名家藝術精品"義賣會上,會場中最高潮乃是在拍賣張大千先生的"一花一世界"水墨畫(H94 x W212.5 cm 橫幅水墨設色紙本張大千1978年戊午年2月初2日作),這幅畫是民國67年(1978年)3月張大千先生親自送到佛光山來給我們.拍賣時以500萬元起價,經過一番競標,最後由一位蕭姓信徒以6,000萬元得標,但又捐出來給佛光大學;再由遠東集團創辦人徐有庠先生以5,600萬元得標,使得這一幅畫以11,600萬元的高價結了善緣.
因此,佛光大學佛光教科書第11冊"佛光學"之第20課"佛光山大事記",便記載著"佛光山創建緣起摘要"如下:1978年佛光12年3月,張大千先生暨夫人來山禮佛,並贈親繪巨畫"一花一世界".

基於前緣,此幅張大千1978年3月作"一花一世界白荷花圖及書法立軸"之出售收入,除了50％是作為在臺灣成立中國書畫及古文物民間博物館的經費外,其餘25％將捐給星雲大師創辦之佛光大學,另外25％亦將捐給星雲大師創辦之佛光山佛光緣美術館.

The original painting "Rising and Warm Green Mountains" by Huang Gongwang (Huang Kongwang 1269 - 1354 Yuan Dynasty) has been lost. But that was a painting of great renown in southern China from mid- to the end of Ming Dynasty. Famous painting connoisseur Dong Qichang (1555 - 1636) in Ming Dynasty evaluated that as the best one by Huang Gongwang. Thus the paintings after that by those famous artists in Qing Dynasty were all collected as treasures by National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan. This should be the best one after that ever since Qing Dynasty and become priceless!

Origin:
The family member of the Kuomintang party high ranking founding official (國民黨黨國元老家族舊藏品) who received from the artist directly!
Authenticity:
This fine and delicate landscape splashed painting can be done by Zhang Daqian only due to the difficult and essential requirements of at least 30 years of long-term splashed painting experience! Only Master Zhang Daqian met with this strict qualification!
此名畫為張大千大師開創於晚期的 "細潑細筆式金碧潑彩" 畫法, 雖然有些仍是以中國國畫之 "工筆、寫意、鉤勒、設色、水墨等技法形式" 為輔, 但卻已經 "惜筆如金". 畫紙上的絕大部分作畫內容, 都是以 "金碧潑彩" 畫法細潑細筆鉤勒以成之. 這種畫法之困難度極高, 因為畫家必須控制 "潑彩渲染度" 就如同手握 "細筆" 一般, 不論是色彩之調合度與筆意, 皆必須是 "意到即筆到(潑到)" 般恰到好處, 絲毫不容許有任何差錯, 連作畫用紙之渲染度亦必須拿捏精準, 完全無法 "既然粗略潑之, 即大概以成之.". 因為此種畫法相當耗時又耗工, 沒有數十年的 "潑墨" 及 "金碧潑彩" 畫功及足夠經驗, 他人根本就是無法臨摹仿潑之, 否則只是糟蹋浪費自己的畫紙與昂貴顏料而已. 因此成品並不多, 見世作品也不多, 因為張大千大師都是以此種畫作成品贈送予國民黨黨國元老們欣賞居多, 而被鎖入深宮.

此幅名畫為張大千大師開創於晚期的 "細潑細筆式潑彩" 畫法, 雖然有些仍是以中國國畫之 "工筆、寫意、鉤勒、設色、水墨等技法形式" 為輔, 但卻已經 "惜筆如金". 畫紙上的絕大部分作畫內容, 都是以 "潑彩" 畫法細潑細筆以成之. 這種畫法之困難度極高, 因為畫家必須控制 "潑彩渲染度" 就如同手握 "細筆" 一般, 不論是色彩之調合度與筆意, 皆必須是 "意到即筆到(潑到)" 般恰到好處, 絲毫不容許有任何差錯, 連作畫用紙之渲染度亦必須拿捏精準, 完全無法 "既然粗略潑之, 即大概以成之.". 因為此種畫法相當耗時又耗工, 沒有數十年的 "潑墨" 及 "潑彩" 畫功及足夠經驗, 他人根本就是無法臨摹仿潑之, 否則只是糟蹋浪費自己的畫紙與昂貴顏料而已. 因此成品並不多, 見世作品也不多, 因為張大千大師都是以此種畫作成品贈送予國民黨黨國元老們欣賞居多, 而被鎖入深宮.

徐悲鴻之子徐慶平說: 先君悲鴻公酷愛畫 "獅". 除 "奴隸與獅" 外, 他還創作過數十件以獅為題材的巨作, 如 "獅與蛇" 等. 徐悲鴻寓意抗戰時中美兩國為兩頭巨獅, 聯合對付出洞小蛇日本, 小蛇豈能勝乎? 因此幅畫的左半邊畫面為徐悲鴻1939年作 "側目" 圖 (H111 x W109 cm), 現存北京徐悲鴻紀念館. 而兩幅畫間作畫之條件及元素皆為相同, 但此幅作品之繪畫內容卻更為豐富多樣化, 故為真正.

"Landscape Fuchun Mountain" is quite a very famous painting subject for Chinese famous artists in the history! Some of them are priceless and collcted by National Palace Museum of Taipei, Taiwan. Amongst them, the most famous and priceless one is the painting made by Painter Huang Gongwang (Huang Kongwang 1269 - 1354) in Yuan Dynasty. Master Zhang Daqian used "Splashed Colour Painting" technique created by himself in this painting to re-define the works of "Landscape Fuchun Mountain". This should have won and played such an important role in the history of Chinese Painting and become priceless!
以 "富春山居圖" 作為繪畫題材, 在歷史上, 一直是中國繪畫名家的最愛. 有些作品不但是無價之寶, 且為台灣台北故宮博物院所收藏. 其中最有名且為無價的作品即是元代黃公望 (1269 - 1354) 所繪製的 "富春山居圖". 張大千大師以其本人所開創之 "潑彩" 畫法, 重新詮釋繪製 "富春山居圖", 精美絕倫, 令人心曠神怡, 應在中國畫壇歷史上有其重要的角色與地位, 故本名畫亦為無價之寶.

吳冠中1990年作 "表現主義的荷花" 直幅設色紙本鏡框 H 71 x W 64 cm
吴冠中曾经谈到: "我的画是将西画的优点表现在中国画之中. 我画的点和线, 每一笔都包括了体面的结构关系. 画中的点和线, 不管是大点小点, 长线短线, 在运用上是严格的, 都不是随便乱摆上去的, 有时一点不能多也不能少, 点子多了对画面无补, 我都想办法将他遮掉. 对线的长短也是如此, 都不是随便画上去的, 要恰到好处.". 因此, 此幅吳冠中1990年作 "荷花" 圖名畫, 即是吴冠中画的点和线的结构关系間之最佳詮釋.

Wu Guanzhong said: "My paintings demonstrate the advantages of the western style merged into Chinese ones. Every dot and line painted by me includes the linking structure relation between plane and volume. The dots and lines at my paintings, no matter they are big or small dots, long or short lines, are not randomly placed. They are used carefully in strict requirements. Sometimes they are not even one dot more or less. Too many dots are needless by the paintings. Therefore sometimes I have to mask surplus dots. So are the lines in their length. They are not randomly painted and must be put precisely in point.". Thus this “Lotus” was the best explanation of the painting theory about dots and lines created by Wu Guanzhong.

In painting techniques, Wu Changshuo was used to painting with the way of writing calligraphy.

The handwritings and signature of Zhang Daqian in this painting are the same as those 16 words in Sister painting "Mount E'mei and Calligraphy" by Zhang Daqian (dated 1971 H102 x W191 cm, ink and color on paper, painting and calligraphy gift to Zhang Daqian's family chef Zhen Jianmin 1919-1990, Christie's Hong Kong 11/30/2010 Auction Lot. 2526 / Sale 2822 Sold USD 644,000.). Thus it’s “True Authenticity”!
The signature "SHUJUN ZHANG DAQIAN YUAN" of Zhang Daqian in this painting are also the same as those 6 words in "Spring Cloud and Morning Mist" by Zhang Daqian (Dedicated to Mr. Yan Jiagan who had been just retired from his 5th Presidency of ROC and succeeded the Chairman of Governing Association of National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan, dated Nov. 1979 H69 x W176 cm, "Paintings of Zhang Daqian,Volume 2", Page 8 - 9, Picture 2, Museum of History, Taipei, Taiwan Dec. 1980). Thus it’s “True Authenticity”!
The "Refined Splashed and Refined Brushed" painting technique used by Master Zhang Daqian on this renowned painting was created by him at his late splashed painting period. Although some parts were still painted subordinatively with Chinese Traditional painting techniques and styles such as Very Fine and Delicate Drawings, Impressionistic Painting, Outlined Drawing, Colours Applying Painting, Ink Applying Painting. But the brushes had been saved as precious as gold. Most parts of the painting had been done by the "Refined Splashed and Refined Brushed" techniques. This is extremely difficult to have been done so well as this painting. Painter has to control the splashed colour dyeing conditions on paper just as holding a fine brush on hand. He has to splash (brush) it as precisely as his will in mind. Painter also has to understand even the splashed speed and degree of the paper material so used very well. A little mistake happened upon splashed painting is not allowed. He can not just paint it randomly by finishing it roughly. If painter had no such a wonderful splashed ink and coloured painting experience for at least more than decades, he can not do it well. It's so very difficult and impossible for other painters to copy or imitate after it. Otherwise the copy painter or imitater will just waste his papers and expensive colour pigments for sure. The works of art done by this difficult technique were few and also collected fewer in the world. Owing to its both hard time and efforts consuming of this painting technique, the paintings finished by this were often dedicated to the Kuomintang party high ranking founding officials in Taiwan to promote the painting reputation of Master Zhang Daqian and had always been locked into deep cellar of Governmental Residency.

此幅名畫為張大千大師開創於晚期的 "細潑細筆式潑彩" 畫法, 雖然有些仍是以中國國畫之 "工筆、寫意、鉤勒、設色、水墨等技法形式" 為輔, 但卻已經 "惜筆如金". 畫紙上的絕大部分作畫內容, 都是以 "潑彩" 畫法細潑細筆以成之. 這種畫法之困難度極高, 因為畫家必須控制 "潑彩渲染度" 就如同手握 "細筆" 一般, 不論是色彩之調合度與筆意, 皆必須是 "意到即筆到(潑到)" 般恰到好處, 絲毫不容許有任何差錯, 連作畫用紙之渲染度亦必須拿捏精準, 完全無法 "既然粗略潑之, 即大概以成之.". 因為此種畫法相當耗時又耗工, 沒有數十年的 "潑墨" 及 "潑彩" 畫功及足夠經驗, 他人根本就是無法臨摹仿潑之, 否則只是糟蹋浪費自己的畫紙與昂貴顏料而已. 因此成品並不多, 見世作品也不多, 因為張大千大師都是以此種畫作成品贈送予國民黨黨國元老們欣賞居多, 而被鎖入深宮.

此幅名畫為張大千大師開創於晚期的 "細潑細筆式潑彩" 畫法, 雖然有些仍是以中國國畫之 "工筆、寫意、鉤勒、設色、水墨等技法形式" 為輔, 但卻已經 "惜筆如金". 畫紙上的絕大部分作畫內容, 都是以 "潑彩" 畫法細潑細筆以成之. 這種畫法之困難度極高, 因為畫家必須控制 "潑彩渲染度" 就如同手握 "細筆" 一般, 不論是色彩之調合度與筆意, 皆必須是 "意到即筆到(潑到)" 般恰到好處, 絲毫不容許有任何差錯, 連作畫用紙之渲染度亦必須拿捏精準, 完全無法 "既然粗略潑之, 即大概以成之.". 因為此種畫法相當耗時又耗工, 沒有數十年的 "潑墨" 及 "潑彩" 畫功及足夠經驗, 他人根本就是無法臨摹仿潑之, 否則只是糟蹋浪費自己的畫紙與昂貴顏料而已. 因此成品並不多, 見世作品也不多, 因為張大千大師都是以此種畫作成品贈送予國民黨黨國元老們欣賞居多, 而被鎖入深宮.

Huang Junbi and Zhang Daqian, Pu Ru ( Pu Xinyu ) were called "Three Famous Artists came across the sea from China to Taiwan". The title of this painting "High Mountains and Flowing Waters Landscape" was derived from an ancient historical story recorded in a book named "Lie Zi - Tang Wen": During the Epoch of Spring and Autumn China from 770 B.C. to 476 B.C., a musician called Bo Ya in Nation Chu was excellent to play Chinese fretted musical instrument with five or seven strings, and his good friend Zhong Ziqi could always understand his true mind of expression to play by listening to the music sounds. Thus the two sentences "To have an ambition to climb High Mountains" and "To have an ambition to take a trip via Flowing Waters" written in the article of the story were combined to form new Chinese words "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" as an idiom to describe "Excellent Music" or "A Close or Intimate Friendship with Mutual Understanding".

盤底內緣所鑲嵌之鳳凰圖騰, 製作精美, 非中國唐朝時期製品莫屬, 而為其他朝代所無法製造. 盤底內緣之清晰而又深沉的黃土沁色足夠證明它的古老年份.

西元前206年至西元25年中國西漢朝時期 "古羊脂白玉透空圓雕漢朝皇室用勾連雲紋龍形珮"
Size and Weight (尺寸及重量): 高 H 4.4 x 寬 W 6.7 x 厚 D 1 cm 56 公克 g
年代: 西元前206年至西元25年中國西漢朝時期
Authenticity:
The carvings of this beautiful work of art in Western Han Dynasty China by Archaic Mutton Fat White Jade (Ancient Old Jade) were still quite primitive and not made by modern machine tools, but using the popular "Handmade Penetrating Round Volume Sculpture Carvings" in ancient China. The carving techniques of this work of art were made simply, clearly, skillfully, and smoothly upon a thick and solid jade, and the incised feminine totem lines of linking clouds in flowers and double parallel lines were all the popular jade carving techniques and decoration totems used in Western Han Dynasty China.
Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade was the only privilege of ancient Emperors' family.
This work of art has also very clear and apparent slight yellow loess soakage color in the skin as the aged Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade in ancient China. Thus it’s "True Authenticity"!
Jades are beautiful semi-translucent precious stones that are denser than other stones and characterized by shiny, smooth, heavy surfaces and distinct sounds when knocked on. The beautiful characteristics of this work of art have lead to its value as a wonderful decorative keepsake, as well as a great collection for investment, due to the fact that the Archaic Jade (Ancient Old Jade) grows in value as it ages.
"Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade" was the gem class jade of best quality in Han Dynasty China. But the modern people have never seen it before. It was the only privilege of ancient Emperors' family in Han Dynasty China. The work of art made by this jade was left scarcely and has been seen rarely in this world. Its color is as that of sheep fat and has oily shining luster. Its inner jade muscular tissue contents have semi-boiled rice phenomena existing in the natural ancient archaic old jades. Nevertheless the jades those were carved in Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, and Modern China have no such phenomena. It looks like foggy translucent due to oily mutton fat appearance, while white jade looks different in this respect. Its oily white shining luster is seen with slight yellow light. It's oily and solid, translucent and clean, white and without cracks, just like solidified sheep mutton fat. Its skin has no deceiving glass light, thus can be slightly varied after the long-term wear attached to human skin by its owner.
This fine work of art (H 4.4 x W 6.7 x D 1 cm 56 g) was carved with the same "Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade" as that used in "Western Han Queen's Seal" (H 2 x W 2.8 x D 2.8 cm 33 grams ) collected by Shaanxi History Museum, Shaanxi Province, China.
Even if the "Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily White Jade" (also named as "Archaic Mutton Fat White Jade") has been buried in the water and earth for more than 2000 years, it is only slightly soaked in skin parts and still the same smooth, shiny, oily as before due to its solid and dense quality. This is its very precious value never to be broken over thousands of years and the main reason why it is classified as gem class valuable precious stone. The "Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade Carved Western Han Queen's Seal" (Weight 33 g) collected by Shaanxi History Museum, Shaanxi Province, China, and this "Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade Carved Western Han Dynasty Linking Clouds Royal Dragon Pendant", both have been buried in the water and earth for more than 2000 years, but they are only slightly soaked in skin parts and still the same smooth, shiny, oily as before due to its solid and dense quality. This proves their very precious value never to be broken over thousands of years and the main reason why the works of art carved by Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade have been always classified as gem class valuable national treasures.
This work of art has incidentally been soaked in its tail skin part to become "dark brown". Thus it's also a very beautiful jade carved work of art with rather rare "Wonderful and Amazing Soakage - An Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade Carved Lovely Sheep Horn Dragon with Dark Brown Tail" existing in the world nowadays.
The reasons why the “Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade” is classified as gem class valuable precious stone and the works of art carved by this jade have been always classified as gem class valuable national treasures are as follows:
(1) Never to be destroyed in the water and earth even buried for thousands of years: The hardness, solidness and firmness of the “Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade” are better than steel, iron, and other kinds of jades. The discovered ones prove that even if having been buried in the water and earth for 2000 years, they are still the same smooth, shiny, oily as before with the same sheep fatlike oily luster as their original carvings, and never to be destroyed. These jades are really the best research and development objects of the material engineering science in the world.
(2) The beautiful characteristic semi-translucent nature shown like the changeable skin color of a lizard: Due to their natural semi-translucent character, once these jades are placed in front of backgrounds of different colors, the gorgeous colors shown by these jades are to be changed accordingly. Thus they are amazingly beautiful!
(3) Scarcity of discovery, dense and tiny cubic volume, nevertheless bigger than diamond, can be carved into fine works of art by ancient Chinese: The formation of the “Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade” is under the same pressure coefficient from the crust of the earth as diamond on account of its solid and dense characters. Thus these jades are scarce and rare with dense and tiny cubic volume. Nevertheless they are still bigger than diamonds. Diamonds are not to be carved into fine works of art in different shapes full of variety by mankind, but these jades can be done. These archaic jades prove that even 2000 years ago, ancient Chinese had already developed the high technology to carve these extremely firm and hard “Archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jades” into fine and beautiful works of art for the Imperial Emperor to appreciate the art.
(4) The Legend and Myth Stories of Jade Carved Works of Art done for thousands of years are always forever and forever to Chinese, and never to be ended: In ancient society of China, lots of Legend and Myth Stories of Jade Carved Works of Art done for thousands of years, such as their protections upon their owner mater's body good health, their collections of good lucks and fortunes in behalf of their owner master,...etc, have generally provoked Chinese directly to take great interests in the Jade Carved Works of Art owned by the ancient imperial royal family of the Emperor thousands of years ago. This is the so-called Chinese psychological historical affections upon these Archaic Ancient Old Jades that have been done for thousands of years.
(5) Due to their extremely valuable prices, nevertheless in very tiny cubic volume, easy to be carried by human body in transit and easy to be concealed or hidden from enemies, not to be damaged over thousands of years, have made these Jade Carved Works of Art to become the best haven investment commodity in ancient China: In ancient China, the First Emperor of Qin Dynasty ever tried to exchange his 15 cities for a famous Jade carved work of art called He-Shi-Bi from the Nation Zhao in the historical record. This proves that the Archaic Ancient Old Jades that have been done for thousands of years have been always the substitutes for the most valuable and expensive, high end, strongest currency since the ancient times until now. They are shaped into very tiny cubic volume, easy to be carried by human body in transit and easy to be concealed or hidden from enemies, as well as not to be damaged over thousands of years. Thus these inherent natural features have benefited these Jade Carved Works of Art that have been done for thousands of years to become the best haven investment commodity in ancient China, no matter when it was in peaceful or warring times.
This fine work of art was carved with extremely smooth "His Imperial Majesty Dignity of Han Emperor's Family and an Appearance of King's Family" by the excellent imperial jade carving master in Western Han Dynasty China. This is absolutely not to be done and copied by modern carvings.
西元前206年至西元25年中國西漢朝時期 "古羊脂白玉透空圓雕漢朝皇室用勾連雲紋龍形珮"
Size and Weight (尺寸及重量): 高 H 4.4 x 寬 W 6.7 x 厚 D 1 cm 56 公克 g
年代: 西元前206年至西元25年中國西漢朝時期
此西元前206年至西元25年中國西漢朝時期的古羊脂白玉雕美麗藝術品, 其雕刻仍然甚為原始! 並非是使用現代的機械工具, 而是利用中國古代的 "手工透空圓雕法". 此 "古羊脂白玉透空圓雕漢朝皇室用勾連雲紋龍形珮" 之雕琢厚實, 簡練, 流暢, 其陰線花式勾連雲紋與雙平行線紋皆為中國西漢朝時期的常用玉雕技法與紋飾, 且羊脂白玉為中國古代皇帝家族之特權專用玉, 而此工藝品之玉皮上, 亦具備有非常清楚與明顯的中國古老羊脂白玉黃土微沁色, 故為真正.
"玉" 為美麗半透光的貴重石頭. 具有表面光亮平滑, 手感沉重, 其密度與比重皆較其它石頭為大, 輕敲時聲音清脆悅耳的特性. 此件藝術品的美麗特質, 使它的價值適合作為一件奇妙的裝飾用紀念品,或是一件投資性的大收藏品. 因為 "古玉雕" 的價值,事實上就如同它的古老年齡一般,年紀愈老,價值愈增.

"羊脂白玉" 為中國漢朝時期玉中寶石級極品, 但現代人卻從未見過, 為漢朝皇帝家族專用玉, 存世極為稀少, 亦極為罕見. 此玉色若羊脂, 具油脂性光澤, 玉之肌裡有天然古玉的飯滲現象, 而明清及現代玉則無. 因水頭足而呈霧狀之半透明狀, 此點與白玉略有不同. 油脂光澤白色中則透出微微黃色, 溫潤堅密, 瑩透純淨, 潔白無瑕, 如同凝脂. 玉皮無玻璃賊光, 皮色可因主人之長期盤玉而起微微變化.
此精美工藝品 (高 4.4 x 寬 6.7 x 厚 1 公分 cm 56 公克 g) 係使用與中國陝西省陜西歷史博物館的館藏 "西漢皇后之璽" (高 2 x 寬 2.8 x 厚 2.8 公分 cm 33 公克 g) 相同之 "羊脂白玉" 所刻成.
"羊脂白玉" 縱使被浸泡在水土中保持 2000 餘年, 因其質地硬密, 也只是皮色微沁, 卻溫潤如初, 這就是它千年不壞的可貴之處, 也正是它屬寶石級的貴重價值所在之主要原因. 中國陝西省陜西歷史博物館的館藏 "古羊脂白玉雕西漢皇后之璽 (重 33 g 公克)" 與此件 "古羊脂白玉透空圓雕漢朝皇室用勾連雲紋龍形珮 (重 56 g 公克)" 皆為入土 2000 餘年, 因質地硬密, 也只是皮色微沁, 卻溫潤如初, 充分證明羊脂白玉千年不壞的可貴之處及其藝術品皆被當作是寶石級珍貴國寶的主要原因.
而此精美工藝品剛好在 "龍尾端" 之一部皮色微沁成 "深棕色", 成為現今存世極為罕見的 "巧沁色 - 羊脂白色的可愛玉羊角龍帶著深棕色的龍尾端" 玉製品.
古羊脂白玉雕藝術品皆被當作是寶石級珍貴國寶的主要原因為:
(1) 入土千年不毀壞: 古羊脂白玉之堅硬及強韌度遠勝過鋼鐵與其他類玉種, 出土古羊脂白玉證明其入土 2000 餘年卻仍然溫潤如初, 油脂光澤如故, 並未毀壞, 是世界上材料工程科學的最佳研究開發目標.
(2) 如蜥蝪變色龍般的半透明天然美麗特質: 因為古羊脂白玉是天然半透明的, 所以當背景色系變化時, 古羊脂白玉所顯示的天然絢麗色彩亦隨著變化, 令人驚歎不已.
(3) 數量稀少, 體積不大, 卻比鑽石大, 可供古代中國人雕琢成精美藝術品: 古羊脂白玉之形成, 因質地硬密, 其所承受之地殼壓力係數係相當於鑽石, 因此數量稀少, 體積不大. 但鑽石無法如玉石般供人類雕琢成各式各樣形狀不同之精美藝術品, 而古羊脂白玉證明 2000 年前的中國人已經具備有高度工藝技術將堅硬強軔無比的古羊脂白玉雕琢成精美藝術品供皇帝鑑賞.
(4) 中國人對於 "千年古玉" 的神話與傳奇故事為歷久彌新, 永不毀滅: 中國古代社會裡傳說中的各種 "千年古玉" 的神話與傳奇故事, 包含保護主人的身體健康與帶來主人的好心情及好運勢等等, 皆直接促使中國人對於古代皇室家族所持有的 "千年古玉" 為特別地情有所鍾, 此即為中國人對 "千年古玉" 的迷思心理情結.
(5) 因價值特別昂貴, 卻體積很小, 便於貼身攜帶及藏匿, 不易毀壞, 為古代之最佳保值投資性避風港商品: 中國古代秦國秦始皇曾有欲以15座城市交換趙國之和氏璧玉器藝術品的歷史記錄. 足以證明, 千年古玉藝術品自古至今即為雲端強勢昂貴鉅量貨幣的代替品. 因體積甚小, 便於隨身攜帶與藏匿, 他人不易察覺, 卻又千年不易毀損, 故為古代不論是平時或是戰亂時期的最佳保值投資性避風港商品.
此精美藝術品具備西漢玉工所雕 "皇室家族尊貴威嚴與王者家族氣度神韻" 之極度流暢王玉工藝, 絕非近現代玉工所能完成和仿制之.

Authenticity:
Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade was the only privilege of ancient Emperors' family. "Extremely Good Auspices Presented by Dragon and Phoenix Pendant" was to carve both dragon and phoenix on the same jade carved work of art that is to be carried upon personal body. It represents the most superior, prosperous and fortunate auspices and best luck in the world. Therefore an archaic Sheep-Fat-Oily Mutton Fat White Jade carved Extremely Good Auspices Presented by Dragon and Phoenix Pendant made in Western Han Dynasty China must have been carried by the Emperor himself.
The carvings of this beautiful work of art in Western Han Dynasty China by Archaic Mutton Fat White Jade (Ancient Old Jade) were still quite primitive and not made by modern machine tools, but using the popular "Handmade Penetrating Carvings" in ancient China.

羊脂白玉為中國古代皇帝家族之特權專用玉. "龍鳳呈祥珮" 係將龍與鳳雕琢在同一件隨身攜帶的玉器藝術品上, 代表世上的最高祥瑞榮譽吉兆與繁榮好運. 因此, 中國西漢朝時期之高古羊脂白玉雕 "龍鳳呈祥珮" 必然為漢朝皇帝自己所隨身佩帶.
此西元前206年至西元25年中國西漢朝時期的高古羊脂白玉雕美麗藝術品, 其雕刻仍然甚為原始! 並非是使用現代的機械工具, 而是利用中國古代的 "手工透雕法". 此 "高古羊脂白玉透雕漢朝皇帝用勾連雲紋龍鳳呈祥珮" 之雕琢厚實, 簡練, 流暢, 其陰線花式勾連雲紋, 龍鬍鬚處之短曲平行線紋游絲毛雕, 龍鳳翼部, 腿部之斜格紋, 與龍鳳足部之雙平行線紋皆為中國西漢朝時期的常用玉雕技法與紋飾, 而此工藝品之玉皮上, 亦具備有非常清楚與明顯的中國古老羊脂白玉黃土點狀微沁色, 故為真正.
"玉" 為美麗半透光的貴重石頭. 具有表面光亮平滑, 手感沉重, 其密度與比重皆較其它石頭為大, 輕敲時聲音清脆悅耳的特性. 此件藝術品的美麗特質, 使它的價值適合作為一件奇妙的裝飾用紀念品,或是一件投資性的大收藏品. 因為 "古玉雕" 的價值,事實上就如同它的古老年齡一般,年紀愈老,價值愈增.

"羊脂白玉" 為中國漢朝時期玉中寶石級極品, 但現代人卻從未見過, 為漢朝皇帝家族專用玉, 存世極為稀少, 亦極為罕見. 此玉色若羊脂, 具油脂性光澤, 玉之肌裡有天然古玉的飯滲現象, 而明清及現代玉則無. 因水頭足而呈霧狀之半透明狀, 此點與白玉略有不同. 油脂光澤白色中則透出微微黃色, 溫潤堅密, 瑩透純淨, 潔白無瑕, 如同凝脂. 玉皮無玻璃賊光, 皮色可因主人之長期盤玉而起微微變化.
"羊脂白玉" 縱使被浸泡在水土中保持 2000 餘年, 因其質地硬密, 也只是皮色微沁, 卻溫潤如初, 這就是它千年不壞的可貴之處, 也正是它屬寶石級的貴重價值所在之主要原因. 中國陝西省陜西歷史博物館的館藏 "古羊脂白玉雕西漢皇后之璽 (重 33 g 公克)" 與此件 "高古羊脂白玉透雕漢朝皇帝用勾連雲紋龍鳳呈祥珮 (重 54 g 公克) " 皆為入土 2000 餘年, 因質地硬密, 也只是皮色微沁, 卻溫潤如初, 充分證明羊脂白玉千年不壞的可貴之處及其藝術品皆被當作是寶石級珍貴國寶的主要原因.
古羊脂白玉雕藝術品皆被當作是寶石級珍貴國寶的主要原因為:
(1) 入土千年不毀壞: 古羊脂白玉之堅硬及強韌度遠勝過鋼鐵與其他類玉種, 出土古羊脂白玉證明其入土 2000 餘年卻仍然溫潤如初, 油脂光澤如故, 並未毀壞, 是世界上材料工程科學的最佳研究開發目標.
(2) 如蜥蝪變色龍般的半透明天然美麗特質: 因為古羊脂白玉是天然半透明的, 所以當背景色系變化時, 古羊脂白玉所顯示的天然絢麗色彩亦隨著變化, 令人驚歎不已.
(3) 數量稀少, 體積不大, 卻比鑽石大, 可供古代中國人雕琢成精美藝術品: 古羊脂白玉之形成, 因質地硬密, 其所承受之地殼壓力係數係相當於鑽石, 因此數量稀少, 體積不大. 但鑽石無法如玉石般供人類雕琢成各式各樣形狀不同之精美藝術品, 而古羊脂白玉證明 2000 年前的中國人已經具備有高度工藝技術將堅硬強軔無比的古羊脂白玉雕琢成精美藝術品供皇帝鑑賞.
(4) 中國人對於 "千年古玉" 的神話與傳奇故事為歷久彌新, 永不毀滅: 中國古代社會裡傳說中的各種 "千年古玉" 的神話與傳奇故事, 包含保護主人的身體健康與帶來主人的好心情及好運勢等等, 皆直接促使中國人對於古代皇室家族所持有的 "千年古玉" 為特別地情有所鍾, 此即為中國人對 "千年古玉" 的迷思心理情結.
(5) 因價值特別昂貴, 卻體積很小, 便於貼身攜帶及藏匿, 不易毀壞, 為古代之最佳保值投資性避風港商品: 中國古代秦國秦始皇曾有欲以15座城市交換趙國之和氏璧玉器藝術品的歷史記錄. 足以證明, 千年古玉藝術品自古至今即為雲端強勢昂貴鉅量貨幣的代替品. 因體積甚小, 便於隨身攜帶與藏匿, 他人不易察覺, 卻又千年不易毀損, 故為古代不論是平時或是戰亂時期的最佳保值投資性避風港商品.
此精美藝術品具備西漢玉工所雕 "皇帝尊貴威嚴與王者氣度神韻" 之極度流暢王玉工藝, 絕非近現代玉工所能完成和仿制之.
