Chapter 148: Yan Fu's Manuscript
Luo Bufan wanted to take Brother Hu and them to Sanfang and Seven Alleys for a walk first, that place, in the eyes of the locals, may be like that, but if you haven't been there, you still have a little bit of expectations.
Especially when he knew that Brother Hu had a special hobby for these traditional buildings, he wanted to go for a walk.
After all, it is one of the few ancient architectural relics in the country.
Some of the former residences of celebrities in it have begun to charge fees, as long as you don't go into the house, you still don't need to charge money.
In this block, the alleys are vertical and horizontal, the stone slabs are paved, the white-walled tile houses, the curved gables, the layout is rigorous, the craftsmanship is ingenious, and many are also embellished with pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, flowers and plants, rockeries, integrating humanities and natural landscapes.
It is said that there are outstanding people here, and many famous politicians, military strategists, writers, and poets have gone to glory from here, and some of the names of the shops and alleys can see the style and glory of the year.
In addition, there are hundreds of large and small shops, and a variety of local specialties and gourmet snacks will dazzle you.
"Now, the commercial flavor is starting to get a little heavier. Luo Bufan said to Hu Yang.
Moreover, it once attracted a lot of scolding on the Internet.
Hu Yang is not very disgusted, after all, these are all buildings left over from history, and daily repairs and maintenance are all funded.
Reasonable charges are sometimes a form of protection!
Of course, those overlord behaviors that only know how to make money and fence off the place are really unpopular.
In addition, he has heard a little about the situation here. There are many food shops in the area, and many people come here to play for the food.
However, due to the high price of goods and the deterioration of the quality of the food, tourists are very dissatisfied.
At this point, it is no wonder that tourists complain that it is indeed a bit inauthentic.
"Now, how can you find a pure tourist resort? It's normal to have a commercial taste. Hu Yang smiled.
He toured for a while and said: "The carvings of the doors and windows here are very interesting, delicate and gorgeous, and it can be said that they are very careful." There are openwork, relief, and the subject matter is birds and animals, figures and flowers, etc. β
The place is quite big, Hu Yang and others just walked around, and none of the former residences of celebrities in it went in.
After walking for a while, Xiaoli proposed to go into a store and drink something, and she had a treat.
During this time, it was Brother Hu and Andy who were taking care of her, and she didn't spend any money, so she was embarrassed. She didn't dare to open her mouth if she wanted to pay a lot of money, but she thought she should take the initiative to eat and drink.
Hu Yang knew Xiaoli's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Okay, then go in and have a drink, the big beauty has a treat." β
Some small things, Populus euphratica will not rob them, which is also a kind of respect for others.
"You're welcome. Luo Bufan and the others spoke.
They walked into a shop with a traditional flavor and ordered some food and drink.
If you look inside the store, you will see that there are bookshelves on both sides of the store. Customers can flip through at will, and there areγEssay collections, etc.,Very leisurely feelingγ
They sat on the edge of a bookshelf, blessing that as long as they turned around, they could get the books on the shelf.
Before he could eat it, he took out a copy of it and opened it to take a few looks.
This is a thread-bound book, which seems to be deliberately antique, and there is more than one on the shelves here.
Luo Bufan said: "What kind of culture do you pretend? I guess I haven't even known all the words on it." β
He was reminding Fa Xiao, Brother Hu and the others to sit here, you read books by yourself, and make wool! Find topics to chat with! What kind of books do you read? How rude is it to leave Brother Hu aside?
The blessing was a smart man, and he reacted quickly and was about to close it, but saw that there was a folded piece of paper in the middle of the page he had opened, which seemed to be letter paper, written in calligraphy words.
He took it out: "What did it come from?"
Hu Yang looked over: "I'll see." β
Blessing hurriedly handed it to Hu Yang, flipped through the book again, and found a similar piece of paper, with not much content on it, it seems that this one is the last.
Hu Yang looked at it for a while, it was a letter written at home, which only talked about some household things and some greetings.
"Brother Hu, there's another one here. "The blessing was handed over.
Hu Yang looked at it, and there was a name left behind, and he was slightly surprised that it was actually his letter.
"Brother Zhu, you are lucky! This is a letter from Yan Fu. Although it is of little value, it is a rare item that can be collected by yourself or donated to related institutions. Hu Yang said.
When he was playing just now, he remembered that Yan Fu's former residence was here, right? So, the appearance of his letter seemed to make sense. As for why it ended here, it is unknown.
This kind of family letter is not very informative, just a few words of chatter, so it is not of much value.
Of course, the value here is measured in money. If you want to say that it has no value, it is certainly not, and the things used by celebrities, even if it is a piece of paper or a pen, are cultural relics.
Someone once said that what celebrities have used is a cultural relic, and what they have used is waste.
Hu Yang thinks that this kind of thing should be of interest to relevant institutions, such as Yan Fu's former residence here. Once you know about this letter, you should find a way to buy it back.
As for how much money can be given, it is difficult to say. Or, there will be a few hundred dollars in prize money or something, pennants?
"Show me the book. Hu Yang pointed to the book in his hand and said.
The audience in the live broadcast room was speechless, they can all pick up treasures here, is there something wrong? It's really Brother Hu who can find treasures wherever he goes, it's a bit weird!
The blessing was also stupid, and he sent the book over in a daze.
When Hu Yang opened it, it was not a book at all, but a handwritten translation. The author, also Yan Fu.
As far as he knew, Yan Fu was a translator who put forward the translation standards of "faith, attainment, and elegance", which had a profound impact on the translation work of later generations, and was a very influential bourgeois enlightenment thinker, translator and educator in the late Qing Dynasty.
This is a great figure of modern times who has had a tremendous impact on modern China.
It is precisely because of this that in the three lanes and seven lanes, his former residence is not the largest, not the most beautiful, nor the most refined materials, but it is highly valued.
After all, this person is known as "the first person in Western studies in China". Among the celebrities of modern and modern China, too many people have been influenced by him.
"This manuscript is a translation, it's quite valuable, you can find a way to get it with this shop. After a while, we can go to the scenic office, and I'm sure they're interested in both things. β
Yes?
Blessing was dumbfounded, and his feelings were about to be picked up? This is too fast, the way is too strange, right? Even he can't believe it.
"Haha! The little brother's eyes are about to pop out. β
"I was frightened by 10,000 tons, but no one was lucky. It's actually Yan Fu's manuscript, and I don't know how much it can be worth. β
"Don't go to the scenic office! Those people may have forcibly asked for manuscripts and letters? β
"It shouldn't be, at least there is a bonus of 500 yuan and a pennant, which can't be saved. β
"I also think it's okay to let the wind go out and let them come to the door on their own. β
β¦β¦
Luo Bufan, who was a sworn friend, also looked incredulous, and complained in his heart: Is this okay? What kind of shit did that guy step on!
"Brother Hu, is this thing valuable?" As a native of Fuzhou, Yan Fu's story is often heard, which is the pride of their Fujian. The things he left behind should be quite valuable, right?
"It's hard to say, let me briefly say it! Manuscripts, letters, and other collections are not uncommon, and they have even stirred up the storm in the auction market, and have been auctioned for millions of dollars.
The core of the value of the manuscript lies in the historical value it carries. The value of historical documents is closely related to the direct author and written content of the manuscript, and the artistry of the handwriting is also an important auxiliary factor.
β¦β¦β
He told everyone that the content of the letter manuscript is more important than the artistry, and although the letter manuscript collection is closer to the calligraphy work in terms of material form, it should refer to the rare books in terms of value.
"Therefore, the collection value of this letter is not high, so there is no need to have great expectations. β
With that, Hu Yang turned his gaze to the translated manuscript.
"This translation manuscript is different, and what is worth Yan Fu's time to translate must be more valuable information. So, it's going to be worth a little more.
But it is also relatively limited, and the manuscript collection is not mainstream at present, so there is no way! Hu Yang said.
He personally estimated that the translation manuscript cost about 180,000 yuan.
As far as he knows, at present, the main "buyers" of manuscript collections are still art institutions. Like this manuscript of Yan Fu, I am most interested in some institutions that study Yan Fu's life and deeds, such as the administrators of Yan Fu's former residence.
Moreover, in the field of contemporary art, compared with oil paintings that often cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, the price of manuscripts, which integrates documentary value, collection value, and artistic value, is lower and there are few fakes.
Luo Bufan kicked the stunned hair and reminded: "Why are you still stunned? Go and buy this book from the store!
"Oh, oh! yes, yes!" Blessing quickly stood up, intending to fool the shopkeeper.
is worth 180,000, which is also a very good income for him. He didn't go to college, and he didn't save so much money for so long after he came out, and his bank cards were often double-digit.
Hu Yang came to the bookshelf, flipped through it for a while, and shook his head helplessly: "I wish my brother good luck, the only valuable one was taken away by him." β
The people in the live broadcast room listened to it and were speechless, is Lady Luck his own mother?
Luo Bufan thanked Brother Hu and Xiaoli for Fa Xiao.
"Thank me for what?" Xiaoli was inexplicable, thanks to Brother Hu, she could understand.
"Didn't you let everyone in to eat, he had this kind of luck? Luo Bufan replied.
Everyone has just come back to their senses, and it does make sense!
