My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 381 Calligraphy Can Be Genetically Inherited?

Everyone looked at the ten warehouses, and it took about half an hour.

Finally came the auction stage, Warehouse No. 1, only sold for 1 US dollars.Yes, around RMB [-]. On the surface, the most expensive thing inside is the motorcycle, but it is certainly not worth fifteen hundred dollars.

Warehouse 2 was even worse, only a thousand dollars.

There is no worst, only worse, No. 3 directly failed the auction.Everyone remember, there are some woods inside, who would be willing to paint this money?
Number 4 is better, $[-] at auction...

It was not until Warehouse No. 8 that Fang Xing and the others finally made an offer.The person who made the offer was Xia Yu, Fang Xing, Xu Qing, and Yuanyuan were not interested, Li Zhen was too embarrassed to compete with Xia Yu.

In the end, Xia Yu paid [-] US dollars for the auction.

In addition to the porcelain, there are several oil paintings in this warehouse.Those foreigners bid so fiercely for those few oil paintings.

From the current point of view, among the top ten warehouses, the highest price is No. 8.

After Xia Yu took the photos, the people from the warehouse company let them enter the warehouse to check.

"These oil paintings are very ordinary. They are probably painted by amateurs, and they are worthless." Xia Yu said after taking a few glances.

Indeed, even Li Zhen and others can see that the oil paintings are very rough, not a work of art.

Xia Yu held up the double-linked vase, and first looked at the inscription: Yongzheng Year.

Seeing the inscription of these four characters, Xia Yu immediately grinned happily.Then, he handed it to Fang Xing: "Brother, help me see if this is Yongzheng's enamel color."

Fang Xing pretended to look at it for a while, then nodded: "You're lucky, you made the right bet. This thing costs at least 50 RMB."

He told everyone that in terms of inscription identification, Yongzheng enamel colors generally use enamel materials to write the four-character "Yongzheng Year System" imitating Song style stamps, that is to say, the four-character outer frame is used as a frame, and it will feel raised when it is touched. feel.

The enamel color was further developed during the Yongzheng period, and it performed well in terms of color materials, decorative patterns, and artistic effects.Due to the excellent production of Yongzheng enamel porcelain, it is deeply favored by collectors.

"Unfortunately, this Yongzheng enamel color double-linked vase is not a masterpiece of the Yongzheng period, and the master who painted the enamel is not very good at calligraphy." Fang Xing pointed to one side of the double-linked bottle, on which was a poem.

The writing of this poem obviously did not reach the level of a calligrapher, which dragged down the value of this porcelain.

You must know that the enamel porcelain of the Yongzheng era was sold for tens of millions of yuan, and the ones of 200 million yuan are not considered high-quality goods.

For example, a Yongzheng enamel-colored Sanyang Kaitai pen holder that was photographed a few years ago was sold for nearly 8000 million yuan, which can be seen.

However, even so, Xia Yu was very happy.

This feeling of betting right is very exciting and satisfying.

Afterwards, I rummaged inside a few more times, but found no other valuables, so I exited the warehouse and closed the door first.After the auction is over, these treasures will be taken away in a unified way.

As for the remaining garbage, Xia Yu wasn't going to deal with it by herself.

Instead, ask Jim to make the call, have the cleaner come over, and pay someone else to do it.

"Don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders, you can enjoy yourself." Jim laughed.

……

The second batch of warehouses, from the 11th to the 20th, Fang Xing still didn't make a move, or he didn't see what he liked, so he couldn't get interested.

Instead, Li Zhen bid $15 for Warehouse No. [-]. What he saw was a clock in the warehouse.

The bell is composed of upper, middle and lower layers as a whole.The upper layer is the canopy, with a bird made of copper standing on the top; the middle layer has a roller shutter, with monkeys holding peaches inside, and the lower layer is the base.

Unfortunately, the clock is broken and cannot work.

"Is this thing worth money?" Li Zhen couldn't help asking, feeling like he was losing money!

"Things made in modern times, even if they are not bad, their value is limited. You should look for something else!" Fang Xing said to him.

Li Zhen secretly thought it was bad luck, but he didn't talk too much, and quickly searched in the warehouse.

Soon, he held something with surprise on his face: "Boss Fang, do you think this is an inkstone? I found out that this warehouse should belong to a Chinese."

In addition to the inkstone, he also saw some calligraphy practice paper, as well as copied works, as many as 20 pieces.

However, it looks like a novice practicing calligraphy, and his writing is not very good, and he is probably a little better than Li Zhen.In the Liangshanbo Hero Calligraphy Contest, he might be able to rank in the forefront.

Fang Xing took it, looked it up and down for a while, and then said: "This is a Chengni inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones in my country. Judging from the style, production style, and patina, it should be from the Ming Dynasty."

Chengni inkstone was first created in the Tang Dynasty and has a long history. It was listed as "tribute inkstone" at that time.Later, due to various reasons, by the Qing Dynasty, its production technology had been lost.With the loss of the production method of Chengni inkstone, the production of Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone has been interrupted for nearly 300 years.

The inkstone is as beautiful as jade, strikes like a bell, easy to ink, does not hurt the brush, does not freeze in winter, and does not dry up in summer. It is said to be clear mud inkstone, which is highly respected by emperors and scholars of all ages.

As he spoke, he wiped the bottom of one of the inkstones with his fingers.

Everyone saw the inscription on it: Aragonite Layman.

"Layman Wenshi? Who is this?" Xia Yu was a little confused. It was always difficult for him to remember the title of the ancients, and Bada Shanren was an exception.

"The calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, Mi Wanzhong, is precisely one of the four masters of calligraphy in the late Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Mi Wanzhong has a background, and is a descendant of Mi Fu, the four great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty." Fang Xing told everyone.

You don't understand what you heard, calligraphy can also be inherited genetically?

The ancestors were the four great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, and the descendants were the four great calligraphers of the late Ming Dynasty. They are really powerful.

"The reason why he has the title of aragonite layman is because Mi Wanzhong likes to play with stones, and he belongs to a generation of stone idiots."

He has traveled many places in his life, climbed mountains and waded, not afraid of hardships and dangers, and collected a large number of strange rocks.Every stone is carefully observed, carefully studied, and praised for its appearance.

There is a slogan in the Tibetan stone world, which is called "Stones come and go"!
But the stone not only did not bring the so-called good luck to Mi Wanzhong, but was somehow related to Mi Wanzhong's dismissal from office and returning to his hometown.

It is said that Mi Wanzhong found a boulder with a length of 8 meters, a width of 2 meters and a height of 4 meters during a visit.The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, hired hundreds of people, plus 44 mules and horses, and pulled the stone down the mountain for 7 days.

Just as he was about to go home with all his might, Wei Zhongxian was falsely accused and dismissed from office, and the boulder was abandoned by the roadside.The local villagers thought this stone was unlucky and called it the "prodigal stone". Since then, no one has cared about it.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong refused to believe in this evil, and sent people to transport the "prodigal stone" to Qingyi Garden.This so-called "prodigal stone" is "Qingzhixiu" standing in the Summer Palace today.

There is no one who can play with stones to his level.
