Chapter 353: Gu Xiu

Hu Yang said that the value of thangka should be considered from four aspects:

The first is the value of craftsmanship, which is painted with cloth or silk fabric, which is different from painting in the traditional sense, and the second is the value of painting, which depicts different characters and scenes with lines and colors, reflecting the same technical characteristics of traditional painting.

The third is the ideological value, each thangka focuses on a religious theme, expresses a religious concept, and has a rich and profound meaning.

Fourth, cultural values, thangkas come from different eras, regions and genres, embody different cultural concepts and aesthetic concepts, and show different humanistic features.

Combining these factors, we can judge the price of a thangka.

"This is a Qing Dynasty thangka, so it can add points, if it changes hands, between 200,000 and 500,000!" Hu Yang said to everyone.

Lin Shaofen understands that with a little more historical time, the value of antiques can increase a lot. Antiques, antiques, are embodied in the word "ancient".

"What if it's from the Ming Dynasty?" she asked tentatively.

I am curious how many times if it is a thangka of the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, smashed his mouth, and said: "The thangkas of the Ming Dynasty are very precious, and I don't know how much the thangkas of the Ming Dynasty can sell for the time being."

The Thangka works made by the court during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, at present, only the Jokhang Temple in Tibet retains two such works, and the others are lost, the Yongle Thangka is very large, about 3 meters high, and they are all embroidered.

To be honest, if the thangka of the Ming Dynasty appears at auction, it is okay to have more than 10 million. If it is a fine product made by the palace, it may even exceed 100 million.

In the past, the one auctioned abroad, more than four million dollars, was already many years old. ”

Lin Shaofen and they listened and felt their scalps tingle!

The audience in the live broadcast room sighed: The Ming Dynasty is really the pinnacle of artistic development, and many traditional arts can develop to an unprecedented bottom in the Ming Dynasty, which is hard to imagine.

"Alas, if the Ming Dynasty hadn't fallen, how powerful it would have been!"

"The luck of the Ming Dynasty really didn't work, and it met the Xiaoice River period. ”

"In ancient times, we all relied on the sky for food, and it was really sad to encounter this kind of disaster. ”

……

The audience in the live broadcast room felt sorry for the Ming Dynasty. This is known as one of the most backbone dynasties, which was defeated during the Xiaoice River period and was picked up by the Manchus.

Those who have studied history should know that during the Ming Dynasty, ancient Chinese society was still based on agriculture and planting as the main mode of production, and once the crop yield was reduced and the people did not harvest, it would cause a large-scale famine.

Once there was a large-scale famine, it triggered a war such as a peasant uprising, which unfortunately caused the Ming Dynasty to encounter it.

Fang Ru was extremely envious, it was so easy for Brother Hu to make money. If you start with 5,000 yuan, you can buy more than 300,000 yuan, almost a hundred times the profit, which is terrifying!

This strengthened her idea of pestering Brother Hu, and in the next time, it would be good to be stalked.

Walking forward, Fang Ru and Lin Shaofen stopped at a shop specializing in embroidery, and they were dazzled by all kinds of embroidery. Although today's girls are not interested in embroidery, it does not prevent them from liking it.

"Isn't embroidery a specialty everywhere in ancient times?" Lin Shaofen was a little confused.

In ancient times, girls before they got married, it seemed that they had to learn embroidery, right? How is it a specialty of their magic capital? Now the so-called specialties in various places are too casual, right?

"This is Gu embroidery, and it is indeed a specialty here. Hu Yang said to her.

He explained that Gu embroidery originated in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the concubine of Gu Mingshi, the master of Luxiang Garden, was good at embroidering figures and Buddha statues, and Gu's daughter-in-law Han imitated Song and Yuan Dynasty paintings into embroidery, with fine splitting and vivid embroidery, so it became famous for a while.

In the Qing Dynasty, Gu Lanyu, the great-granddaughter of Gu Mingshi, began to set up an embroidery workshop, recruited disciples, and taught Gu embroidery techniques.

However, after the Jiaqing period, Gu embroidery gradually declined and was almost lost.

Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Premier Zhou personally gave instructions to resume the research, teaching and production of Gu embroidery.

Now, this kind of embroidery is already a national first-class intangible cultural heritage. ”

However, Gu embroidery is not widely spread, so it is not included in the four famous embroideries in China. Now China's four famous embroidery is Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, Shu embroidery.

In particular, Suzhou embroidery, which belongs to the essence of the essence, has been known for its fine and elegant since ancient times, and its composition is concise, the theme is prominent, and the skills are exquisite. Only the thinnest thread used in Suzhou embroidery is thought to be clear to the naked eye of ordinary people, which shows its extreme fineness.

It can only be said that Gu Xiu's influence is too weak, and its commercial value is far from meeting the standards of the four famous embroideries.

In fact, Gu embroidery originated from a famous lady, is an ornamental painting and embroidery artwork, and has no practical function, the achievement of a good work not only requires money, leisure, but also to have artistic accomplishment of women to complete.

The corruption and turmoil of the late Qing Dynasty led to the decline of Gu Xiu, and after the Opium War, the social foundation for the survival of the "scholars" class was completely shattered, and the "leisurely and elegant" Gu Xiu withdrew from the "rivers and lakes".

Therefore, it can be said that the four famous embroideries are widely circulated and take the public route. And Gu Xiu, itself is the work of a group of big ladies, and it takes a high-end path.

After listening to Populus euphratica's explanation, the two girls understood and understood that this was just a type of embroidery.

Lin Shaofen took a fancy to two or three pieces, but habitually looked at the price, and suddenly hesitated again.

"Is it so expensive? Eight hundred dollars. She flinched.

My salary is only five or six thousand a month, plus some subsidies or something, it is only about seven thousand. In this city, it is considered a low-income group.

800 yuan to buy a piece of embroidery, it is indeed a bit difficult for her.

The proprietress explained: "This is all embroidered by female workers with stitches and threads, and a piece of work may take a week or two, or even a month or two, a few hundred yuan, but it is not expensive." ”

It is more expensive, even thousands, and tens of thousands of dollars are not nothing.

Hu Yang glanced at the two pieces that Lin Shaofen liked, and couldn't help but remind her: "Eight hundred yuan, don't suffer a loss." ”

When the proprietress heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Look, I'm right! ”

Lin Shaofen wanted to say something, but was pulled twice by her best friend Fang Ru, giving her crazy eyes, and then immediately came to her senses and paid 1,600 yuan distressedly.

After walking a little farther, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hu, how much can this Gu embroidery be worth if it is resold?"

Hu Yang pointed to one of the pieces: "This piece, you can keep it for yourself, it's not worth much." But this one is from the Qing Dynasty, and the embroidery is quite fine, as can be seen from this painting. The person who made this embroidery should not only be ingenious, but also proficient in painting skills and have a fairly deep understanding of painting.

In my opinion, it should be from the hands of a famous artist, if it changes hands, it will be about 150,000!"

"Embroidery is also so valuable?" Zhang Qingliang was shocked.

"Gu Xiu is originally a work of art, and he has tried more than 500,000 auction records, is he surprised by more than 100,000?" Hu Yang glanced at him speechlessly.

The so-called embroidery, rather than a kind of cloth painting, is actually similar to thangka. However, the thangka is much more solemn, the artistic value is higher, and the significance of collection is more.

After Lin Shaofen heard this, her hands were sweating.

My mother! A few hundred yuan is actually worth more than 100,000 yuan, and this is what she earned. No wonder, no wonder Fang Ru secretly told her just now that she would follow Brother Hu even if she was stalking, isn't it obvious?
