Riding the wind of rebirth

Seeing Zhao Shangzhong's flushed face, the fourth aunt laughed and said, "Shangzhong has become Su Dongpo these days, so chic."

Zhao Shangzhong was modest: "I dare to compare with Su Dongpo, but I have some free time during the summer vacation."

Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing while holding on to the handle of the wheelchair.

The fourth uncle said angrily: "You didn't understand what your teacher's wife meant. When Su Shi was appointed as the judge in Hangzhou, he couldn't bear to eat every day. In his letter to his friends, he called Hangzhou a 'drinking and eating hell'. Your teacher's wife meant you I'm afraid I've had a hard time eating this month."

"Hi!" Zhao Shangzhong came to a sudden: "It's true that I can't stand it anymore, but this is the last meal of the elbow. I saw the puffing of the elbow just now. Did you understand that you were laughing?"

Zhou Zhi hurriedly took the scroll from Jiang Shuyi's hand: "I don't understand anything, I don't know anything, I'll put things away first."

Zhou Zhi’s house is very big now, with an area of ​​170 square meters upstairs and downstairs, not counting the garden. The floor below is where Zhou Zhi’s parents live. One of the second bedrooms has been knocked out, and three bedrooms and one living room have been turned into two bedrooms and one living room, leaving the living room alone. very big.

Upstairs is where grandma and Zhou Zhi live. Grandma's room is intentionally made smaller, because grandma has to hold things up, so she has to reach out and touch them.

There is a lot of space left for Zhou Zhi to use as a bedroom and a study. Zhou Zhi designed it as a connected structure, that is, the living room leads to a semi-open study, and there is a small room behind the study as a bedroom, so that the mother-in-law and grandson can work as female workers and read books. Sometimes they can still see each other, and Zhou Zhi sometimes reads late, and can go to sleep in the small room by turning around.

It is said to be a small room, but it is actually quite large, but a large part of the space is occupied by a cabinet against the wall, which makes the room appear small.

This cabinet is a combination safe specially customized by Jinan Lock. It looks like an ordinary cabinet from the outside. When you open the cabinet door, you will find that in addition to the wardrobe, the side door of the wardrobe is pushed open, and there are rows of drawers with safety locks inside. .

Zhou Zhi has received a lot of good things in the past three years, and they used to put them under the bed, so he was worried.

Now the precious ones are all hidden here.

When school starts, Zhou Zhi will hide these treasures in a safer place - Sui Huaxuan.

In addition to these valuables, Zhou Zhi's home also used a lot of ordinary items for decoration. For example, the small Bo antique shelf partition that my mother likes to admire downstairs is filled with all kinds of small monochromatic porcelain.

These utensils are very small, the largest vial is no bigger than a fist, and the smallest is only the size of a thumb, but most of them are high-quality official kilns from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Even now, these things are still not very valuable. Zhou Zhi has the relationship between Haitong and the provincial cultural relics store. Lin Wanqiu and Manager Fei are asked to transfer these items from the national cultural relics store.

The rest are basically the not-so-precious Tongguang porcelain, and the Hutian kiln and Dayi kiln porcelain that have not increased in value even though they are from the Tang and Song dynasties.

The porcelains of Hutian Kiln and Dayi Kiln are very elegant, and the Tongguang porcelain selected by Zhou Zhi is also consistent with them in color tone. The main products are Yingqing, Meiziqing and Tianqing, which are also very beautiful as decoration.

The rest are a few Zhongtang paintings written by famous ministers in the Qing Dynasty, because my father liked them very much, and they were mounted and hung with a picture frame.

Dad reads by himself next to the dining room. There is a small wall of books, which is obviously reduced to ancillary facilities, and he is very stubborn. On both sides are Zhang Zhidong's "Yuan Kai Chunqiu Biography, Zhaoming Wenxuanlou".

In the living room hangs Zeng Guofan's "The general looks at the world with quiet interest, and has his own nostalgia for the past and the present".

The remaining two belonged to Zhou Zhi, and Zuo Zongtang's "Painting Pavilion Lingyan Gaobiao Returning to the Sun; Jintai Lunshi Zifu Collection" by Zuo Zongtang hung in Zhouzhi's study upstairs.

There is also a piece of Li Hongzhang's "The Breeze Comes into the Bosom and the Dew is in the Hand; the Flowing Water is Today and the Moon Is Formerly" is Zhou Zhi's favorite, and he is going to take it to Shudu.

There are so many such things in cultural play shops on Hong Kong Island that they are almost rotten streets, people like Weng Tonghe and Lin Zexu can be sold at a high price, and others such as Fu Shan, Zhao Zhiqian, Tie Bao, Liang Tongshu, Wang Wenzhi, Deng Shiru, Yi Bingshou, Chen Jieqi , Zhao Ruyong, even Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan are hardly known to the outside world and are not sought after today.

Zhou Zhi, who was made up by Mr. Qi for the works of famous calligraphers in the Qing Dynasty, also packed many such things from Hong Kong Island this time, but because these things were of little value, Huang Yinghao and Qu Jianming felt embarrassed and wanted to give them directly. Thoughtful.

Of course Zhou Zhi didn't accept it, and insisted that the two of them sell these old goods from the warehouse for a price, and finally bought half at the clearance price, and made a "addition" to the Xuande blue and white market.

Not to mention that they don't pay much attention to it, even researchers like Uncle Si Biao don't pay much attention to it. In Uncle Si Biao's eyes, the calligraphy of the Qing people is not the insurmountable style of calligraphy in Han and Jin Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties.

In terms of age, it is not too long, and I can rank among the middle in terms of level. How do you want me to value it?

In the end, Zhou Zhi had no choice but to hold his nose. Forget it, you are responsible for thirty pieces of Shiqu calligraphy and painting. I will take them to Shudu and use them as materials for me to practice mounting techniques.

When I came downstairs, my godfather and mother-in-law also arrived, and I heard my godfather say: "The Lord is here, you can just ask him, but I am also a layman, and I have read a lot of information in the past month. I'm confused about where I am."

"Godfather and mother are here? What's the matter?" Zhou Zhi laughed.

"It's the one-size thing you're working on." The godmother said with a smile: "Your godfather wanted to find out, so he called your master, and then he was criticized for being uneducated and asked him to follow you and Qiao Mu." Learn, keep up with the pace of the times, and strive not to be eliminated."

"I don't think he can tell why..." The godfather began to slander: "So he asked me about it, and he became angry from embarrassment."

"We don't quite understand this matter. I guess there will be many students who will ask after the school starts." Zhao Shangzhong said: "And I have seen a saying before that Western characters only need 26 letters, and we The most commonly used Chinese characters are more than [-] characters, so in the information age, the Chinese character system is far less convenient than the Western alphabet, and will be ruthlessly eliminated sooner or later."

"There is such a saying," Xu Youzhi is a Chinese teacher, and of course he is also concerned about this: "But after reading the news report, it is said that this can be regarded as international cooperation, and it is said that it is also advanced in the world, right?"

"I'm a little confused. Didn't it mean that Chinese characters will be eliminated sooner or later? Why do organizations still want to cooperate with us? Why do they still say it is a world-leading technology?"

"That's right, that's right, today is an opportunity, you can educate us about science." Godfather said, "In the future, if someone asks, we can explain it."

"Then let me tell you about this aspect." Zhou Zhi smiled.

"First of all, it is not my credit to Shu University, Hong Kong University, Yale University, Microsoft, and the Unicode Alliance to jointly establish the Unicode Chinese Character Library Laboratory."

Zhou Zhi is very modest: "This is the unique advantage of our Chinese characters."
