Chapter 624 Hu Toutuo
This folding fan Yu Yao only looked at the fan bone when it was folded up, and with the condition of the tooth ring inlaid on the outside of the fan shaft mouth, Yu Yao judged that it should be something from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period.

However, antique folding fans are different from handicraft folding fans. Handicraft folding fans mainly look at the fan bones and workmanship, but antique folding fans, calligraphy or paintings on the fan surface, may often be more valuable.

It is hard to say what kind of fan bones and fan surfaces were from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.It may be earlier; it may be later, it is the fan of the post.

Yu Yao opened the folding fan and looked at the fan.

One side of this fan is plain, and the other side is inscribed with a poem: The wild sun is barren and white, and the spring flow is obliterated.There are Zhupu everywhere, and village paths are formed door by door.It is only used to put on clothes, and it is often born from drinking wine.There is nothing vulgar in front of you, and you are sick and light.

This poem was written by Du Fu.

Signed.The inscription is: Wuwu Mengchun, Hu Toutuo.

There is a seal.The seal is a round positive article, which is the word "Zen".

The paper used for this fan, Yu Yao saw that it was old paper, and the year of the fan bone was the same, that is, from the end of Qing Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China.

If it is this period, then the year of Wuwu is 1918.

The calligraphy on this fan is not shallow. The style of the calligraphy is between the official script and the regular script. There is a circle in the square, and a square in the circle.

"It is indeed his authentic work." Yu Yao thought to himself.

Hu Toutuo is a nickname of Yang Du, a very eye-catching figure in the political arena from the end of Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.

At the same time, Yang Du's calligraphy level is indeed not low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a famous calligrapher.In terms of calligraphy and painting, he studied under Wang Kaiyun, a master of calligraphy and painting in the late Qing Dynasty; Qi Baishi was also his classmate.

Of course, his fame is not mainly reflected in calligraphy and painting.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Du and his good friend Liang Qichao once wrote a petition asking the monarch to establish a constitution. Later, he followed Yuan Shikai and assisted him in becoming emperor, known as the "Emperor Teacher".

Yang Du assisted Yuan Shikai. In fact, the core idea was to establish a monarch first and then a constitution.But when Yuan Shikai ascended the throne, the country continued to criticize him.Even before Yuan Shikai died, it is said that he yelled "Yang Du misunderstood me"!Liang Qichao, who was originally a good friend with him, viciously called him "a vile and shameless wriggling bitch" because of the Hongxian monarchy.

After Yuan Shikai's death, Yang Du used to concentrate on studying Buddhism, which meant that he escaped into Buddhism. This Hu Toutuo, also known as Hu Zen Master, came at this time.At that time, he also wrote many articles on Buddhism.

Afterwards, Yang Du entered the world again, and once served as Du Yuesheng's teacher, but later changed his mind and pursued progress.He has too many and complicated experiences, and he is a very peculiar person.

"Grandma Wang, just now you said that this folding fan is inherited from your ancestors?"

"Yes, I know about the origin. My grandfather told me about it when I was a child." The old lady introduced, "My great-grandfather opened a pawn shop in Jinmen during the Republic of China. This fan was not redeemed when the time came. , He liked it very much, so he kept it. Later, he gave it to my grandfather, so he kept it. When I got married, my father gave it to me."

"Oh, you are not from Jiangzhou?"

"Yes, I'm from Jinmen."

Yu Yao nodded, thought for a while, and asked again, "Since it is inherited from the ancestors, why do you want to make a move?"

"My children don't like this folding fan, and I'm not very interested. It's just because it's an old thing from my ancestors, but it gets dirty after a long time. Didn't I just go to a professional shop to clean it? "

The old lady paused, and continued, "Boss Xiaoyu, this can be regarded as a temporary idea. Seeing that you are a knowledgeable person and a nice person, I think it's okay to make a move."

"Grandma Wang, it was nothing more than my little effort just now. Business is business, and it should not be confused."

The old lady smiled, "I've seen the fan, and it's not a famous calligraphy or painting. It might have been written by someone from the Buddhist sect at that time, and the price wasn't expected to be high."

"Then when it was passed down from your family, you didn't say whose work it was?"

"My great-grandfather seems to know, but my grandfather didn't like it, so he didn't tell my father. In fact, my father just kept it in the closet. When I got married, because I was going to marry far away in the south, I found out that there was something wrong with it. Give me the old things from Yuanyuan." The old lady replied, "My old man liked antiques before he was alive, but he didn't like calligraphy and painting, and he didn't care too much."

There is a rule of one line, Yu Yao did not continue this topic at this time, but instead asked, "Okay. I can take it, how much do you plan to pay?"

"You can give me 1000 yuan, okay?"

"Okay." Yu Yao didn't haggle over the price, "However, just now you said that you don't want to pay later for that grasshopper gourd, this folding fan..."

"I'm not looking for it either!"

"Okay." Yu Yao nodded, "Grandma Wang, if you have any antiques that you plan to sell in the future, you can contact me, and I will give you a business card."

The old lady took the business card, "As long as I make a move, I will definitely find you."

After the payment was settled, the old lady offered to leave, Yu Yao sent him out, watched her get into the taxi, and then returned to the shop.

This folding fan, based on Yang Du's calligraphy alone, is estimated to have a market price of more than [-] yuan.At the same time, the fan bones of Concubine Hongxiang are not cheap.Generally speaking, this is a high-quality folding fan from the Republic of China period, which is worth admiring and playing.

Yu Yao went back to the shop and sat down, and couldn't help picking up the folding fan again.Because it has just been professionally cleaned, it looks very clean, which is really pleasing to the eye.

Yu Yao even slapped it lightly twice, but only twice.This folding fan is not too young. It can be enjoyed and played with, but it cannot be used as a fan to fan the wind vigorously.

While admiring and playing, Pu Jie hurried into the shop, "Great, I guess you might be in the shop!"

"What's wrong?" Yu Yao put away the folding fan, ready to put it into the brocade box.

"What good things did you receive?"

"I received two pieces today. This is a folding fan and a grasshopper gourd."

"Then I'll take a look first!"

Yu Yao looked at Pu Jie's satchel, a little bulging, "Have you packed your things too?"

"Then let's look at mine first!" Pu Jiehu changed his mind again, "Look at mine first, and then look at yours later, anyway, there must be nothing wrong with what you accept!"

With that said, Pu Jie also took out a brocade box from his satchel.This brocade box is square, not big, with a side length and height of about ten centimeters.

"Did you pay for it or take it alive?"

"I took it alive. Why don't you be in such a hurry? If you're not in the store, I'll call you." Pu Jie put the brocade box on the table, opened it, and took out a cup from it, "Look at it first Let's talk."

Yu Yao took a closer look, it should be a wine glass, not small in size, about ten centimeters in height, with a small round foot and a single ring handle, a bit like the shape of the Tang Dynasty.
