Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 811
In the collection of the Forbidden City, there is a large-character running script scroll of this poem, which Zhou Zhi saw in the album of paintings and calligraphy issued inside the Forbidden City given to him by Qi Lao.

The calligraphy of Huang Tingjian and Wen Zhengming has a strong reference value for Zhou Zhi's calligraphy. Zhou Zhi paid special attention to it when he saw the album, and now he immediately recalled it as soon as he saw it.

This is interesting, the same poem appeared twice, either because Wen Zhengming liked his own poem quite a lot, or because he was struggling to ask for help and used his old work to add a painting to make up the number.

Judging from the artistry and calligraphy of this painting, the former should be the majority.

The hanging scroll of "New Autumn" in the Forbidden City was identified by Qi Lao as the work of Wen Zhengming's calligraphy in the late Ming Dynasty. Now it seems that the time when this poem was written was at least ten years before the scroll came out.

How soon it will be, this expert in literature and history who is engaged in Wen Zhengming's special research will give the answer, but in any case, it is an indisputable fact that the value of this fan is seriously underestimated.

The value of cultural relics often lies more in the stories they carry. Because of the repetition of poetry and the collection of the Forbidden City, this fan already has a story, and its value will skyrocket immediately.

If one year the Forbidden City held an exhibition themed by the Four Talents of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Zhi would send this fan to the running script hanging scroll and hang it side by side.

The exchanges between the two places are still not smooth, and the country is still relatively closed. Many domestic collections have not even been released to the public, so people outside don't even know about them.

Zhou Zhi was very satisfied with this "New Autumn White Ramie Picture" hanging scroll with front and back fans.

For the next few collections, because the price was not suitable, Zhou Zhi didn't follow up with the auction, and they were all taken away by others.

After a piece of "Magnolia Cloud Brocade" by Zhou Yigui of the Qing Dynasty was auctioned off for 500 million Hong Kong dollars, the grand finale finally began.

The name of "Magnolia Cloud Brocade" is very nice. The picture is a magnolia flower and a white peacock, which means "the jade hall is rich and noble", which is quite auspicious.

Zhou Yigui was a court painter of the Qianlong Emperor, and his painting of flowers and birds is a masterpiece. This painting is huge, so it is expected that it will fetch such a high price.

However, everyone was so anxious that they even forgot to applaud.

Seeing this situation, Lin Wanqiu stopped talking: "The last lot, the cursive scroll of "Da Nikkei" by the master Kukai of the island country of the Tang Dynasty, the starting price is 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and the bidding starts now!"

"Boom..." The signs in the hands of the bosses in the front row immediately stood up.

The Great Nikon is the fundamental sutra of the Taizang world of Tantric Buddhism. It is the most important sacred scripture of the Shingon sect, and it is the most important sacred scripture of the Shingon sect.

It should be translated by Shan Wuwei and Xing Xing of the Tang Dynasty. This sutra is a classic spoken by the World-Honored One in the Vajra Dharma Realm Palace. The main purpose, and proclaim the convenience of the three secrets.

This scripture is quite long, and the current scroll is a fragment, which is mainly the content of the first scroll into the heart of the mantra.

"Thus I heard: At one time, Bhagavan lived in the palace of the vast Vajra Dharma Realm blessed by the Tathagata, and all Vajra holders gathered together.

Tathagata believed in the transformation of game gods, gave birth to big pavilions and treasure kings, high without middle borders, all kinds of wonderful treasure kings are decorated with various decorations, and the body of the Bodhisattva is a lion seat.

……

At that time, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra was the head, and the secret masters of the Vajra were the head, because of the blessings of Vairocana Tathagata.Fen Xun manifests the endless adornment of the body, as Fen Xun manifests the equal and endless adornment of speech and meaning, it cannot be obtained from the body, speech or mind of the Buddha Qieluchana, and everything is on the verge of extinction.

At that time, the Master of Vajra Mystery sat down in the assembly and said to the Buddha:

World Honored One, it is said that the Tathagata deserves offerings and is omniscient.Omniscient?
Peter's Omniscient Wisdom is widely performed and distributed for countless sentient beings, proclaiming Omniscient Wisdom according to various interests, sexual desires, and various convenient ways.

Or the Shravakayana Way, or the Enlightenment Way, or the Mahayana Way, or the five-pass wisdom way, or wish to be born in the sky, or be born among humans, and dragons, yakshas, ​​gandharvas, and even talk about the Mahoraga method.

If there are sentient beings who should be delivered by the Buddha, they will appear in the body of the Buddha, or the body of the sound-hearer, or the body of the enlightenment, or the body of the Bodhisattva, or the body of Brahma, or the body of Narayan, Wei Shamen, or even Mahoraga, human, They are not of the same size as human beings, each of them speaks the same voice as the other, and lives in various dignified manners.And this one taste of omniscience, wisdom, and path is the so-called Tathagata's taste of liberation.

......"

This is a cursive script of more than 300 characters, which should have been recorded by Kukai at that time. The reason why it is said to be a random record rather than a copy is that the cursive script is very smooth, the strokes are hearty, and the calligraphy achievement is extremely high.

The scroll with the largest number of characters preserved by Kukai today is the "Heart Sutra", the ancestor of regular script in the island country, with less than [-] characters and a lot of repetitions; while the highest achievement of cursive script is "Fengxin Tie", written by Kukai to Zen Master Saicheng A collection of three chido letters with fewer words, known as the national treasure of the island country, is now in the collection of Todaiji Temple in Kyoto.

Now, although the "Da Nikkon" is said to be a fragment, the number of words exceeds that of the "Heart Sutra", and the calligraphy achievement is comparable to that of "Feng Xin Tie". If this guy insists on using Chinese things as an example, it is equivalent to the birth of Bodhidharma's handwritten "Yi Jin Jing", and there is an additional premise, that is, Bodhidharma has to be a calligraphy master comparable to the two kings.

Therefore, the value of this fragment to the islanders can be imagined.

Of course, for non-islanders, its value can also be imagined.

In just a blink of an eye, the bidding for "Da Nikkei" soared to over 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.

The hotlines outside the venue also became lively. In addition to the hotlines of Lin Wanqiu's studio, there were also three internationally renowned auction houses, and their agents sat here directly, accepting instructions from customers by phone and participating in quotations.

This battle is too scary, and there have been phenomenal scenes in the auction market recently.

Finally, after the excitement in the early stage passed, the customers who continued to bid were finally revealed.

Needless to say, An Zhaiyingyi, among the rest, the antique dealer Li Jianchen from Niijima, An Siyuan's agent Hou Zhongjin, the famous Jasby auction house telephone seat, and the Hong Kong island great collector Xu Zhantang are all present at this auction. Huang Yinghao, who has just made a big harvest in the meeting and is already in semi-retirement.

Lin Wanqiu's voice was very soft, and Zhou Zhi now almost understood that when the woman's voice was gentle, it meant that she judged from the situation that the bidding was far from over, and in this way, passed the hint to all the guests.

"100 million! Mr. Zhou bid 100 million!" Lin Wanqiu's offer was still going on.

It was only then that everyone discovered that there was actually a boy hiding among the big guys who were bidding!
This boy had been sitting in the front row, next to the second son of the Li family in the VIP area!
