My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 79 Gold, silver and jewelry are the most useless treasures?
For the impression of Heishui City, the audience in the live broadcast room stayed in the film and television works. Some fictional swords, swords, strange powers and gods, coupled with legendary treasures, made Heishui City a symbol full of mystery, horror and temptation.

Therefore, when they heard that Fang Xing's family still had a batch of treasures from Heishui City, everyone subconsciously thought of gold, silver and jewelry.

However, Fang Xing told everyone that there are almost no gold, silver and jewelry, but only some ancient books and other cultural relics.

Mr. Zhao said: "Gold, silver and jewelry are actually the most useless treasures, with little historical research value. For us, these ancient books are the most important.

In the minds of archaeologists and historians, the treasures of Heishui City are the third largest archaeological discovery in China after the oracle bones of the Yin Ruins and the Dunhuang posthumous writings.

It is a pity that most of these treasures were taken away by the great powers.Not only snatching treasures, but also completely destroying our Blackwater City ruins. "

This is what they hate the great powers the most.

What can't be taken away, I can't leave it to you, destroy it.

Heishui City, Old Summer Palace, etc. are the best examples.

Heishui City contains a complete history of Xixia, but it was stolen by explorers and left in museums in several western countries.Chen Yinke said, "Dunhuang is the sad history of Chinese academics", and this sentence is also applicable to Heishui City.

The audience in the live broadcast room rolled their eyes wildly, complaining in their hearts: Gold, silver and jewelry are the most useless treasures?
"Good guy! I almost believed it."

"Haha! It's not that I almost believed it, but we have different values ​​and focuses from those archaeologists and others. We only want to get rich, and gold, silver and jewelry are naturally the most important."

"A pile of gold, silver and jewelry and a pile of ancient books recording historical information. If we choose one of the two, most of us will choose gold, silver and jewelry. Don't think about it at all."

……

Seeing Fang Xing carrying out a large bundle of thangkas, as if he was treating a large roll of ordinary cloth, Elder Zhao didn't know how to complain.

The incomparably precious thangkas come in bundles for you?

This is simply unreasonable!

"This is a blanket painting! There are quite a lot of border areas." Someone couldn't help but say.

"What blanket painting? This is a famous Thangka in our Qinghai-Tibet region, so expensive!" A local audience corrected immediately.

This is a kind of religious scroll painting that is mounted on colorful satin and hung for worship. It is a unique painting art form in Tibetan culture. The subject matter involves many fields such as Tibetan history, politics, culture and social life. It is a work of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon religion.

It has distinct national characteristics, strong religious color and unique artistic style, and uses bright colors to depict the world of the sacred Buddha; traditionally, all pigments are made of gold, silver, pearl, agate, coral, turquoise, malachite, Precious mineral gemstones such as cinnabar and plants such as saffron, rhubarb, and indigo are used as pigments to show their sacredness.

These natural raw materials ensure that the painted thangkas are bright and dazzling in color, and even after hundreds of years, they are still bright and bright in color.

Therefore, it is known as a treasure of Chinese national painting art.

Those who know this kind of artwork will know that the drawing of traditional thangkas has strict requirements and extremely complicated procedures. It must be carried out in accordance with the rituals in the scriptures and the requirements of the master, including the pre-painting ceremony, canvas making, drafting of the composition, coloring and dyeing. , Stitching and shaping, gold and silver painting, eye opening, sewing and mounting, and a complete set of process procedures.It takes a long time to make a Thangka, the shortest is half a year, and the longest is more than ten years.

Therefore, the real thangka is very precious, and it is only natural that the price is high.

"That's weird, isn't Heishui City in Inner Mongolia? Thangka is the art and culture of the Tibetan people, it doesn't feel right!" Someone questioned on the spot.

Fang Xing smiled and said: "Then you don't know, Tibetan Buddhism flourished in Heishui City during the Xixia period."

"I would like to add a point of knowledge to everyone. In 1227, Genghis Khan's army plundered the town and destroyed the town. This event became the basis for dating. All the paintings unearthed in Heishui City, mainly Thangka, were produced in this historical event. Before." Zhao Lao said.

He carefully unfolded a thangka.

This is a Kesi Thangka, which is a finely crafted work.

Its shape is very unique. It seems that the framed borders are woven into the picture at the same time, becoming an organic component of the overall composition and integrated. Forms such as grid-shaped front plant patterns are the popular painting style in the 13th century.

The main statue is as graceful and slender as the earliest surviving Green Tara of Rezhen Temple in Utsang, but there are obvious differences in dress.

The most distinctive feature of this work is the image of Bodhisattva and Vajradhara next to the stem of the lotus seat.The bodhisattva turns into a dancing goddess, and the blue-body protector is also in a dancing state.

"This is a fine product." Mr. Zhao commented, then put it aside, and continued to look at the others.

Fang Xing continued to move out.

Liu Shijun saw that no one was free, and Xu Qing couldn't answer the audience's questions in the live broadcast room, so she made a cameo appearance.

"I see, many people ask how valuable a thangka is. Brothers, let me tell you this! The most expensive thangka is a red Yamadi embroidered thangka made by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty in the [-]th century. It sold for nearly three The sky-high price of [-] million yuan.

And more than a million, that is countless.Let's talk about last month's auction!In just one month, there were seven thangkas auctioned that exceeded one million. "

In the thangka auction market, ancient old thangkas have attracted much attention and repeatedly set auction records. Especially the thangkas from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are even more popular, and the transaction prices are often one to two times or even three to four times higher than the estimated price.

"Let's just say that the one you saw just now belongs to the work of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was a relatively high-level work at that time, between 100 million and 300 million!"

Hearing this, everyone glanced at the large bundle of thangkas, and was speechless again.

One picture is worth millions, how much is that big bundle worth?

In the live broadcast room, those who still frantically brush 666 are usually newcomers.Old audiences have long been accustomed to it and are not surprised.

"Actually! In the early 80s, the price of thangkas was only a few hundred yuan. At that time, thangkas were mostly Tibetan Buddhist supplies and enshrined in Tibetan Buddhist temples, and they were not widely known and understood by people.

In the 90s, when Tibetan Buddhist artworks entered the collection market, the thangka market began to gradually heat up, but the increase was not large at this time.

What really started to skyrocket is the past ten years.In the past, if you spent a little money, collected part of it, and kept it until now, you would have developed a long time ago! " Liu Shijun said to everyone.

In his opinion, even ten years ago, it was still a good time to get Thangka.

Now, it was a bit late, and Thangka soared to a height that was a little out of control.
