Buddhist theme holdings rose

Xiamen International Convention and Exhibition Center for the first time ushered in the "four exhibitions" on the grand occasion - yesterday morning, the sixth China Xiamen International Buddhist supplies exhibition, the third vegan health show, the second session of the tea show and the first coffee exhibition opened the same period.

The exhibition will be open for 4 days until the 23rd. This means that this weekend, people will go to the Convention and Exhibition Center and will have the opportunity to enjoy taro and coffee from all over the world, enjoy beautiful Buddhist supplies and taste delicious vegetarian food.

Of course, the most important thing to pay attention to is the world's largest exhibition of Buddhist supplies. The reporter was informed that due to the fact that over the past year or so, the price of Aquila rose by more than 150%, the value of the Buddhist theme collections made by Chen Xiang continued to refresh, causing the attention of many collectors.

The subject of Buddhism was highly sought after. At the Buddhist Exhibition, the reporter saw Cao Chong En, an sculptural artist known for his engraving of Samaranch, and he brought sculptures of Buddhism such as Guanyin and Maitreya to Xiamen. Cao Chongren taught drawing and rock carving classes at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts for more than 40 years.

"I have carved nearly 2000 modern figures. I am still a novice in the sculpture of Buddha statues." Talking about sculptures of Buddha statues, Cao Chong-en said that the artist's carving of Buddha statues is different from that of ordinary artisans. The craftsmen only pay attention to carving the Buddha statues to attract attention. The artist will give the Buddha more connotation, including the demeanor and the ratio will have more artistic value than the craftsman.

The reporter found that with the warming of the Buddhist supplies market in recent years, coupled with the constant refreshing of the value of Buddhist theme collections in the collection market, many modern artists in China have turned their attention to Buddhist themes, among which are many types of carvings, calligraphy and paintings.

Among them, what attracts people's attention is China's first set of "Blessings for Peace" phone card book, which is based on Buddhist temple landscapes. It was first appeared in Xiamen yesterday. The creative team of Blessings for Peace painted the buildings of 143 famous Buddhist temples in China. A painting of a temple was printed on a telephone card with a brief introduction. The card reading history, Yika Yiyi, and Xiaozhong See Big, Small, and Middling in the United States and can be called a “living dictionary” that records the epic poems of Chinese Buddhist temples.

In the past two years, the price of Aquila rose sharply. At the exhibition yesterday, the bracelets made of four woods were quite interesting. They were made of agarwood and were expensive.

The reporter learned that in recent years, due to the skyrocketing prices, artworks made by Chen Xiang have created an upsurge of collections.

"Since last year, the price of agarwood rose by more than 150%, and the value of agarwood doubled from the previous year to last year." At the Buddhism show, Xiamen Yongfang Aromatic Industry Co., Ltd. Xie Decong told reporters that aloe rose most powerfully last year and This year, the better the quality of the product, the larger the ordinary natural agarwood is generally between 6,000 yuan / kg to 10,000 yuan / kg, and the high quality of the aroma of incense is worth 67,000 yuan a gram.

Mr. Chen, a Xiamen collector, revealed that in the early years he had bought some agaric beads bracelets, such as bracelets with a diameter of about 1.5 centimeters. The price was only a few thousand dollars. Now, the general asking price is at least 40,000 yuan. Is about 10 million.

Imitation agarwood flooding the market agarwood, is a result of agarwood tree lesions secreted resin, is a valuable wood and Chinese herbal medicines, but also a rare high-level spices.

Now, including Indonesia and Malaysia, the annual output of agarwood is almost zero, so many of the products appearing on the market are imitation Aquilaria.

To determine the merits of agarwood, the most important thing is to look at the amount of wood containing agarwood oil. The finer the wood grain, the thicker and better the oil. The identification of true and false incense, first of all depends on whether it is submerged, really incense has a clear fragrance of resin, dark brown resin-containing part and the white wood part is clear, when the oil burns out, and there is a cool Shen scent.
