Coming to a study, Amy pointed to a few cases and said: "This is a cardiologist, Yan Ruju's master Liu Zhubai's exhibits, in the past 20 years, four hunting, several desks, chairs, cabinets and beds are prepared." Especially for daily woodware, elegant play sketches, Zhuo Ran has become a big collector. ”

"I like to sit on the Huanghuali Nanguan hat chair, read the notes of the Ming people at night, look for the elegance of the literati of the year, and yearn for the elegance of the ancients. ”

"The third is Mr. Feng Yaohui, a billionaire who is well-known in the financial world. Low-key collection of more than 300 pieces of Ming and Qing Huanghuali rosewood furniture, from the 20th century in the 80s began to collect, more than 30 years where to start, never sold. ”

Later, the collection couldn't be put down, so with a wave of his hand, he bought more than a dozen storefronts at Nos. 181 to 199 Hollywood Road, an antique street with every inch of land. The 20,000-square-foot Liangyi Museum is also the largest private museum on Hong Kong Island. ”

Johnson smiled, to some extent, he must start to pursue his dreams, whether it is eating, drinking, playing, or entertaining, to put it bluntly, it is just a hobby.

Finally came to the center, and saw the legendary Huanghuali circle chair, made of one wood and four pieces, the backrest is like a circle, and its back and armrests go down smoothly, with a beautiful shape, round and soft.

After the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, from the imperial palace to the general public, from daily necessities to the embodiment of life taste, it has stood for thousands of years and has been famous for centuries.

Wearing gloves and caressing carefully, the color is warm, the shape is beautiful, stretched and elegant. The chair rim naturally extends downward, the lines are smooth and natural, the armrests are curved and powerful, the ends are outward, the end is turned out, and the small horn teeth are embedded in the groove between the armrests and the goose neck, which is vivid and dexterous......

In particular, the slurry that has been precipitated for hundreds of years, the friction that has endured over the years, the passage of rays in the air, and the accumulation layer by layer, the surface skin shell that is gradually formed.

Slippery and gratifying, the quiet light, silently narrating, the circle chair has experienced the vicissitudes of time, revealing a kind of warm old atmosphere, a kind of simple and heavy, a kind of history can not change the inheritance......

That layer of faint gloss, subtle and warm, quiet and unassuming, gives people a touch of cordiality, like the ancient gentleman, humble and kind, and can always feel the spring breeze in contact with it, modest and polite.

Finally sat down slowly, the circle of the back of the chair and the square of the four feet not only echoed the epistemology of the round heaven and the earth, but also implied the spiritual pursuit of the unity of heaven and man, and the combination of curves and straight lines also reflected the theory of balance between yin and yang.

The S-shaped backplate is made according to the curve of the human spine, and the skilled craftsmen have been ergonomic for hundreds of years. The upper circle is the lower circle, the circle is the circle, and the seat is the square. With the circle as the main melody, the circle is harmony and symbolizes happiness, and the square is steady, quiet and far-reaching.

A set of study furniture, a few antique calligraphy and paintings, pen and ink paper inkstone on the desk, idle to rise, casual scribbling and playing. If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and the ideals of the literati can be stretched freely in this limited space.

Don't love fame, dreams are limited, and you are looking for fun, and the wind and snow are endless.

Johnson takes a deep breath, when the thousand-year-old tree turns into a Ming-style circle chair, its life is passed on in another form of existence, with you day and night, quiet, deep, but always bring you the power to think......

Reluctantly stand up, not for sale, just for exhibits. Last year, Christie's in New York sold a set of four 17th-century Huanghuali circle chairs at Christie's Ellsworth's private collection, and the price was 9.685 million US dollars, equivalent to 60.63 million yuan, exceeding the minimum estimate by 12 times, becoming the most expensive Huanghuali circle chair in history.

The collection pays attention to pairs and pairs of chairs, which are often lost due to historical reasons, so their value is often several times that of a single chair. The value of the chairs in the hall is several times that of the pairs.

What's more, the rare collections of the system that are inherited in an orderly manner and handed over by famous artists are priceless!

Johnson shook his head secretly, although he also has a lot of high imitations, but after seeing the real Ming Dynasty treasures with his own eyes, that feeling......

Amy smiled beside her and said nothing, accustomed to seeing the customer's expression, only the obsessed person will show his true feelings. said in a low voice: "First love is the most unforgettable, if it is still love at first sight, it is easier to make people crazy, especially women." ”

"Women are shy, and they can't be taken off. Lovers are easy to get mad, but fetishes generally become a complex that nourishes life, such as Huanghuali furniture for Ms. Wu Jiayan. ”

"The first time she saw Huanghuali furniture was at the Victoria Huaxia Pavilion in England, it was in 1970, and the first time she saw them, she thought they were so beautiful, and the amazing and shocking feeling is still unforgettable......

"As soon as I got out of control, I copied down a good book when I saw it, and when I heard that there was something good on display, I knocked on the door of that museum. ”

"I spend my days in museums of all sizes, reading books, research articles, and exhibitions. Later, he wore a frogman costume and mingled in the famous classical furniture restoration workshop, carefully observing how craftsmen assembled and polished Ming-style classical furniture, and studied the mysteries of the inner structure of Ming-style furniture. ”

Johnson was a little surprised, originally thought that Wu Jiaen was just a businessman, but he didn't expect to be so obsessed with Huanghuali?

"Every woman has such a complex in her bones: she wants to have a blue face as a confidant. ”

"He is not a husband, nor a lover, but the one who dwells in the spiritual realm. It doesn't have to be handsome, but it must be extraordinary, learn to be rich, take you to see the wider world, and encourage you to keep pursuing the best things in life. ”

"It's best to meet on a business trip, or to meet in an accident, such as dialing the wrong phone, accidentally spilling coffee all over your body......"

Amy showed a hint of a smile and said: "In 1981, during a lecture in the United Kingdom, Ms. Wu Jiaen met the famous Ming-style furniture master Mr. Wang Shixiang by chance. ”

In 1985, Mr. Wang's first furniture monograph, "Appreciation of Ming-style Furniture", was published by Joint Publishing Company, which was a milestone event in Ming-style furniture collection. ”

At that time, ninety percent of the people had never seen Ming-style furniture, and in order to cooperate with the publication of the book, Ms. Wu Jiaen ran many times, organized a small exhibition at the Joint Bookstore at her own expense, and took out all the exhibits to support the idol. ”

Later, the English version was also personally asked by Wang Shixiang to Ms. Wu Jiaen to translate. After speaking, he pointed to the plaque hanging in the hall and said: "In 1987, when he founded a trading house, Wang Shixiang named it Jiamutang and wrote these three words himself. ”

Johnson raised his head and looked at the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dance, and there were two lines of small words next to it:

The choice is chosen, and the beauty is finished.

Xiangjiang is a small farewell, impressive.

He even specially compiled two Ming-style furniture catalogues: "The Selected Choice" and "The Beauty of the Instrument", together with the Ming-style furniture exhibition held by Guardian, to commemorate the centenary of Mr. Wang Shixiang's birth.

Something inexplicable suddenly rose in my heart......

Fate is really wonderful, in the face of Huanghuali furniture, the kind of people looking for him thousands of times......

Looking back suddenly,

It's already in the dim light!
