Chapter 299: Gu's Cloud Tower

"Xiao Hua, Xiao Zhao, the work of repairing and framing was not completed so quickly, and I guess you are not interested in waiting here with the two old men of us, let me let you take you to visit the museum, right?" Zhou Lao said to Zhao Tianming and Gu Jiahua.

"Then I'll arrange for you to take a look at the treasures of our museum. Director Tang volunteered.

Zhao Tianming and Gu Jiahua also knew that framing calligraphy and paintings was not a simple job, not to mention some repair and maintenance work, and it was estimated that Zhou Lao would stay here next.

Moreover, they are indeed more interested in the museum's various treasures, so it is not hypocritical.

The one who led them to visit was the young man who received Zhou Lao before, named Gao Jingxing, who could speak well and knew all kinds of collections in the museum.

The perennial exhibition of the Gusu Museum is mainly divided into four permanent exhibition halls: "Treasures of Wu Land", "Wu Pagoda National Treasure", "Wu Zhong Fengya", and "Wu Gate Calligraphy and Painting".

In addition to the permanent exhibition hall, there is also a special exhibition temporary exhibition, the special exhibition hall is on the first floor, which has the Dongwu Sword Exhibition, the Maritime Silk Road Exhibition, the Tang Bohu Painting Exhibition and so on.

"I heard that Zhou Lao just brought a real painting of Tang Bohu? We actually have a lot of Tang Bohu's works here, including his poems of falling flowers. ”

Gao Jingxing said that as a native of Gusu, he is still working here, and his face is full of pride. Listening to his tone, he shouldn't know the true face of the work that Zhou Lao brought.

Zhao Tianming knew that Tang Bohu had written Luohua poems many times in his life, and the number of poems recorded each time was different, the content was different, and the calligraphy style was not the same.

"In addition, we also have Tang Bohu's "Bush Fence Map" here, this rare treasure and "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", for unknown reasons, was divided into three during the Republic of China, of which the left is stored in our museum, the right one has appeared in the auction, and the middle one has been lost. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Jingxing's expression is quite regretful, throughout the ages, the precious calligraphy and paintings that have disappeared in the vast history, I don't know how many, only a few have been handed down.

Zhao Tianming and Gu Jiahua also feel the same way, through this small corner, you can imagine the peerless style of the ancient literati.

And the few that have been handed down, I don't know how many, have been lost to the people, or lost abroad.

Not to mention the general trend of plundering in the war-torn era of losing power and humiliating the country, that is, in the eighties and nineties, at the beginning of reform and opening up, when our people were still hungry and sorrowful, and there was no sense of collecting, we no longer knew how many foreigners entered our country and bought our cultural relics in large quantities at extremely low prices.

Especially in Japan, there are a lot of cultural relics taken away at this time, and according to all the predecessors, they are all pulled away by trucks, which is heartbreaking to say.

What's even more shameless is that now, seeing that our people are rich and strong, and have the heart to recover national treasures, they will speculate on the price of our country's cultural relics, among which Tang Bohu's vertical scroll "Lushan Waterfall View" was speculated to 590 million US dollars, as high as 3.59 billion yuan, at the Sotheby's auction in New York, which is simply mad!

"This is not the treasure of our pavilion, the treasure of our Gusu Museum, there are three pieces recognized, one is the Song Zhenzhu relics treasure, which is found in the tower of Ruiguang Temple, which is inlaid with Buddhist seven treasures crystal, agate, amber, pearl, sandalwood and gold and silver and other materials, the whole treasure building, for decoration, pearls of equal size, amounting to more than 40,000. ”

This treasure is rarely exhibited, however, with Gao Jingxing leading, Zhao Tianming and the two will naturally be able to see it now, up to twelve meters, 40,000 pearls of equal size, not counting other materials, this Ruiguang Temple is really rich.

Unfortunately, what they saw was only a replica, and the real thing belonged to the collection and was not on display.

"The other is the Yuan Dynasty Seven Gentlemen Picture, which is donated by Gu's Cloud Building, and the collector framed the ink and bamboo of the six great painters of the Yuan Dynasty Zhao Tianyu, Ke Jiusi, Zhao Yuan, Gu An, Zhang Shen and Wu Zhen one by one in the same long scroll, among them, Ke Jiusi has two works, a total of seven pieces, named 'Seven Gentlemen'. ”

Speaking of Gu's Guoyun Building, Gao Jingxing admired his face, their Gusu Museum, and Guoyun Building have a historical relationship, once in the difficult years, supporting each other, Gusu Museum has more than 100 collections, all donated by Guoyunlou.

However, the current Guoyun Building has disappeared. A few years ago, there was a dispute between Peking University and Phoenix Group over the collection of books in Yunlou.

Originally, the Phoenix Group bid for the Yunlou collection at auction for more than 200 million yuan, but Peking University suddenly decided to exercise the right of first refusal to acquire the Yunlou. Subsequently, Su Province intervened to support the Phoenix Group, and finally, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage gave a reply, confirming that the collection of books in the Yunlou will belong to the Nanjing Library and the remaining three-quarters of the Nanjing Library's collection of books in the Yunlou collection is also a good ending.

At that time, Gao Jingxing was in Gusu, and the news spread widely.

Gu's Cloud Building, Zhao Tianming has naturally heard of it, it is a famous private library in the collection world, which is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River, with a history of more than 150 years, and Rong Bao Zhai in the capital has a comparison.

"This "Seven Gentlemen of the Yuan Dynasty", during the Cultural Revolution, there was an appraisal master who estimated it at more than 100 million, and now, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a priceless treasure. Gao Jingxing said.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there were many painters who painted ink and bamboo, such as Zhao Mengfu, Ke Jiusi, Gu An, Wu Zhen, etc. In particular, this "Dragon Horn" is the only work of Zhao Yuan's ink and bamboo that has only been seen at present, and it cannot be seen anywhere else. ”

Gu Jiahua looked at the ten-meter-long picture scroll in front of him, with an obsessive face.

"Brother Gu, you haven't visited this national treasure either?" Zhao Tianming asked a little strangely.

Although Gu Jiahua is unlikely to be the descendant of Gu's Guoyun Tower, from the point of view of contact, he should be no stranger to Gusu, plus the relationship between Zhou Lao, why is it difficult to visit here?

"There are tens of thousands of collections in the Gusu Museum, and there are nearly a thousand first-class cultural relics alone, how can you see them all?" Gu Jiahua said with a wry smile.

"Well, to be honest, even I've been working here for nearly 10 years, and there are some collections that I haven't seen, and some of them are in a state of restoration, and I refuse to visit, even if the insiders can't get in. Gao Jingxing said.
