Chapter 61
Chen Guoliang also came over and took a look: "This table is worth more than 2000 million?"

He doesn't know much, he only knows the market of ancient calligraphy and painting, he is not keen on other collections, and he doesn't know much.However, I heard that furniture such as huanghuali wood and golden nanmu are very valuable.

Today, seeing it with my own eyes is a long experience.

"How fresh! It was auctioned last year. A huanghuali wood cabinet, from the Ming Dynasty, was traded for more than 5000 million yuan, and a stool was 3000 million yuan.

To be honest, as long as it is Huanghuali wood furniture in the Ming Dynasty, there are very few of them that are less than 500 million. "The expert laughed.

The audience in the live broadcast room rolled their eyes wildly after hearing this.

Less than 500 million?

What a crazy word!

Is Ming Dynasty furniture so valuable?
They don't know that the Ming Dynasty is another prosperous period in the history of Chinese furniture since the Han and Tang Dynasties.

With the prosperity of the economy at that time, the construction of gardens and houses in the city also flourished. The newly built mansions of nobles and wealthy businessmen needed to be equipped with a large amount of furniture, which formed a large demand for furniture.

A group of cultural celebrities in the Ming Dynasty were keen on the research of furniture craftsmanship and the exploration of furniture aesthetics. Their participation played a certain role in promoting the maturity of Ming Dynasty furniture style.

During Zheng He's voyages to the West, he brought back a large amount of high-grade wood such as rosewood and red sandalwood from countries in Southeast Asia rich in high-grade wood, which also created favorable conditions for the development of furniture in the Ming Dynasty.

The shape of furniture in this period is very simple and clear, and the craftsmanship and use functions have reached an unprecedented peak.Its varieties and styles are extremely rich, and the concept of complete sets of furniture has been formed.

The mortise and tenon structure of the furniture is extremely precise, the small outlines of the component sections are very concise, the decorative moldings are meticulously crafted, and the craftsmanship has reached a very high level, forming a unique style of Ming Dynasty furniture that is simple and elegant, beautiful and dignified, rich in charm, and combining rigidity and softness.

"Don't think I'm a Ming blower. To tell you the truth, Ming-style furniture carving is the culmination of Chinese carving art, and its artistic value is extremely high. The Qing Dynasty's furniture is also good, but it looks more refined, but it doesn't have the charm of Ming Dynasty furniture." Experts add.

Someone joked: "The furniture art of the Ming Dynasty was so high, probably it has a lot to do with the carpenter emperor?"

"Don't talk about it, it's really possible. Generally, what the emperor likes, the following will try their best to imitate it, forming a trend, and driving the entire industry."

Many people know that Ming Xizong is not only playful, but also very "level". Zhu Youxiao has a carpenter's talent since he was a child. Ordinary skilled craftsmen can only catch up.

It is said that he can make all the wooden utensils and pavilions he has seen.All carpentry work such as sawing, chiseling, painting and lacquering, he has to do it himself, and he never gets tired of it, even forgetting to eat and sleep.

According to historical records, during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, the beds made by craftsmen were extremely heavy and could only be moved by more than a dozen people. They used a lot of materials and were very ordinary in style.

Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty couldn't stand it anymore. He designed the pattern himself, sawed the wood and nails, etc., and finally made a bed with a foldable bed board, which was very convenient to carry and move. The bed frame was also carved with various patterns. Admired.

In addition, he also made good use of wood to make small toys. The small wooden figures he made, men, women, old and young, all have expressions, facial features and limbs, and their movements are very lifelike.

He was obsessed with carpentry, and he often did not rest until midnight, and often asked the eunuchs around him to be his assistants.

When the emperor is in this position, he is indeed the only one in history.

In fact, everyone did not guess wrong.

The furniture craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty reached its peak in history, which indeed had a great relationship with the carpenter emperor.

No matter which dynasty, what the emperor likes will be popular among the people.This is inevitable, after all, to please the emperor!
"Emperor Carpenter, who is it?"

"Another one who doesn't read history books."

"The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all weird, engineering men."

"Indeed, there are emperors in all dynasties, but there is no dynasty like the Ming Dynasty, which specializes in strange emperors. If you understand it, you can laugh to death."

"The civilian emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the revolutionary emperor Zhu Yunqi, the war madman Zhu Di, the gourmet expert Zhu Gaochi, the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao, and the most capricious is the Wanli emperor Zhu Yijun. He has been emperor for more than 30 years, almost never going to court, and the country has not perished. Guys, do you have anything to add?"

"Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunqi, and Zhu Di aren't weird, are they? If you say that, all emperors are weird!"

"Actually, many of the so-called strange works were deliberately slandered by the Qing Dynasty, so that later generations felt that no emperor of the Ming Dynasty was reliable, and it was all a joke."

……

There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room, and it was all about the emperor.

But no matter what, everyone knows that the furniture in Fang Xing's hall is worth nearly [-] million, or even more.

This is so shocking.

With the addition of Yuan blue and white decorations, how much is this hall worth?

This is called low-key luxury. The decoration inside the house looks ordinary, but it scares you to death when you say it.Those second-generation rich people show off their luxury cars and mansions all day long. Compared with this rural tycoon, they are younger brothers.

Elder Zhen stared at a painting on the wall, his expression gradually serious.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?" Chen Guoliang walked to Mr. Zhen.

"Don't talk, take a good look at this painting."

Seeing what Mr. Zhen said, the others came over and stared at the painting on the wall.

Soon, someone exclaimed: ""The Picture of Sending the Son of the Heavenly King"? It can't be true, can it?"

Old Zhen turned to Fang Xing, "Boss Fang, can we take it down and have a look?"

He really wanted to confirm the painting.

"Whatever you want, be careful." Fang Xing said indifferently.

He got this painting a year ago, but it was kept in the underground treasure room before, and it was only dug out today and hung up to add a bit of elegance to the hall.

Last time, some viewers said that there are so many ancient calligraphy and paintings hidden, why not hang a few of them?
No, Fang Xing searched a bit, picked out a painting and a calligraphy work, and hung them in the hall.

Mr. Zhen was about to take it off, but it wasn't high enough.

"Teacher, let me do it." Chen Guoliang volunteered, a little excited.

"Be careful, if you break it, you won't be able to pay for it if you sell it." Mr. Zhen said to his student.

The audience in the live broadcast room called him a good guy.

Looking at the situation, I am afraid that the painting has a great background.

Of course, many people have heard of "Song Zi Tian Wang Tu", so they were shocked and unbelievable when they heard that person's exclamation just now, because they knew the status of "Song Zi Tian Wang Tu" in the world of calligraphy and painting.

The work of Wu Daozi, the saint of painting!

However, didn't you hear that "The Picture of Sending the Son of the Heavenly King" is collected in a museum in RB?
The picture in front of me should not be real, right?
