Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 185 Shocks the Cultural Relics World

The two parties signed a contract, which is also a normal operation. After all, such precious ancient calligraphy and painting, what if you change the contract when mounting it?
After all, Zhang Yaohua and Uncle Qin had just met, so they didn’t know their character.

In fact, even if you are familiar with it, you have to sign such a contract.In the face of huge interests, no relationship is reliable.

Uncle Qin understood, so he took the initiative.

His only request is that he hopes to preserve a video and photo data so that after Zhang Yaohua takes away the ancient calligraphy and painting, he can be allowed to discuss and study it with others.

Zhang Yaohua agreed.

There is no need to be secretive. Could it be that if you get such a treasure, you won’t be able to see it in the future?That's so boring.

He could also understand Uncle Qin's mood.

When encountering this kind of calligraphy, everyone wants to find out whether it is authentic.

"Let's do this! Before I'm still in the capital, I ask Boss Qin to keep it a secret. After I leave, it's up to you."

Uncle Qin nodded repeatedly: "No problem! Thank you very much."

Wang Yuanchao was reluctant to leave. In order to watch and appreciate the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" more, he planned to stay in Uncle Qin's shop today and tomorrow.

As for Uncle Qin, as long as this guy doesn't hinder him from doing things, he doesn't care about him.

The next day, Zhang Yaohua took his family to climb the Great Wall.After finishing, I went to pick up the reframed painting and the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

In five days, Zhang Yaohua and the others went to almost all the famous check-in points in the capital.

The old man said he had no regrets in this life.

Zhang Yuanhang's three little ones began to miss their parents a little bit.This time they came out and had a great time eating, drinking and having fun. As long as their behavior was not unqualified, Zhang Yaohua would not stop them.

"If you have something to do, just go and get busy. We can just go back by ourselves." Father Zhang said.

Zhang Yaowu also nodded: "Yes! Brother, go and do your work! I will send everyone home safely."

The old man said: "Can we adults still ask you to take care of us? What is there to worry about?"

So, Zhang Yaohua put several people on the plane and notified his hometown to have someone drive to pick them up.And he himself immediately boarded a plane to other cities.

As soon as he left, Uncle Qin shared the news with his friends about the discovery of a suspected authentic "Preface to the Lanting Anthology" and asked people to study the photos and other information together.

At this time, word quickly spread in the circle, causing shock.

Most people thought it was a joke.

After all, it is the number one calligraphy treasure that has been lost for thousands of years!

Is it possible that someone deliberately spread this false news to gain attention?

Uncle Qin's shop welcomed many people, including a great master in calligraphy and painting, Director Bai, the former director of the National Museum, and Taishan, a collector named Ma.

"Some are welcome from a distance, some are welcome from afar!" Uncle Qin greeted.

Wang Yuanchao didn't leave, Uncle Qin deliberately kept him here.

After all, Wang Yuanchao was also one of the discoverers of the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" and witnessed the re-emergence of that work. He needs to tell everyone about the process.

In addition, Uncle Qin can be regarded as helping Wang Yuanchao expand his network and get to know more seniors and veterans in the circle, which will be beneficial to his future development.

Although Wang Yuanchao has been in this industry for many years, he still has not been exposed to the top circles of this industry.

"Boss Qin, excuse me. Where is the work? Can it open our eyes?" Director Bai said.

Uncle Qin smiled bitterly: "The original thing is no longer with me. They just asked me to frame it and keep it secret for him before he left the capital. Now, there is a high probability that it is no longer in the capital.

However, I have left a lot of information for everyone to refer to and study.It is hidden in a painting from the late Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty, indicating that even if it is not Wang Xizhi's original work, it is definitely a copy from the Song Dynasty and before. "

After speaking, he placed the information in front of everyone, including enlarged and clear photos.

At the same time, Wang Yuanchao was also asked to describe in detail the process of obtaining the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

When the people present heard that it was actually Pan Jiayuan who collected it, they immediately looked at each other.Based on these words, they are almost certain that even if it is not the original work of Wang Xizhi, it is definitely a very valuable copy.

After all, it can be hidden in a painting by Zhao Mengfu, how simple can it be?

Before this, many people suspected that the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" should be in Li Shimin's tomb.But that's just a guess. After all, the final record of "Lanting Collection Preface" was obtained by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was very fond of "The Preface to the Lanting Collection". After his death, he was buried with it without any problem.

Once, Guo Moruo wanted to encourage the country to dig up Li Shimin's tomb in order to see the true appearance of the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", but he failed.

"Little brother, can you introduce your friend to me?" the collector surnamed Ma asked kindly.

He really wanted to see the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

To be honest, without touching the original, it is really difficult to determine whether it is authentic based on these clear photos.Even if you call any appraiser, you can't say anything definite.

"Then I have to ask first, if..."

"Don't worry! I won't force you to ask. I will have an exchange meeting in a while. Little brother, please come and participate!"

Wang Yuanchao was overjoyed: "I'll be there, I'll be there! Thank you, Mr. Ma, for taking care of us."

After studying for a long time, everyone is sure that this is definitely a work from the Song Dynasty and before the Song Dynasty, but they are not sure whether it is the original or a copy.

Respected by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, many calligraphers copied the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

Even if those copies are not as good as Wang Xizhi's original works, they are not too different. They are also rare calligraphy treasures.

"It's a pity that I can't make a conclusion without seeing the original." Director Bai was very regretful.

He turned to look at Wang Yuanchao: "Little brother, if you can, help me introduce your friend."

At this time, Wang Yuanchao finally received Zhang Yaohua's reply.

He said happily: "Yes, but you will probably have to go south to find him, and it will take a few days. He is out of town these two days and has no time."

"That's no problem! Thank you!"

Curator Bai is preparing to lead a team of senior experts in the appraisal of ancient calligraphy and paintings to go south.

We must find out whether it is the authentic work of Wang Xizhi.Otherwise, let alone not being able to sleep, I will never die in peace!

"The Preface to the Lanting Collection" has been regarded as a masterpiece of calligraphy for more than 1000 years. Its loss is an important loss to Chinese culture.Finding it is of great significance.

Of course, Director Bai also understands that it is unrealistic to ask people to donate it to the museum and hand it over to the country.Usually those experts are fine with fooling ordinary people.

If you want to get it back, you have to spend money.

The country does not have express legal provisions that require you to hand over a national treasure if you obtain it, so you definitely cannot do it forcefully.

The best thing is to have a good talk with the other person.

If it is really Wang Xizhi's original work, they are not worried about keeping it privately.

Although the museum has many shortcomings, at least the museum is professional in preserving cultural relics.

No one should be able to refute this.
