Chapter 28: High-end Market (2)

Although I feel uncomfortable, I can't be superficial, man, this demeanor is still there. The three of them walked into the antique city together, and Su Qing whispered in Tang Feng's ear: "Hey, you're lucky, no one asked about that Buddha statue, and now it's yours." ”

Even if the police still have a little conscience, Tang Feng felt a little more comfortable, although it was a chestnut in the fire, but finally did not suffer a loss, and the three of them walked into the antique city and came to a relatively large calligraphy and painting shop. The name of this store is good, called Pink and Ink Life, and the two couplets in the middle of the hall are even more commendable. The next link is: green water gushing at the end, talking and laughing back and forth, all scholars. This is a gimmick, just like the ancient ascension, before the official lord asked, the officials first began to shout - mighty~~ Regardless of the plaintiff and the defendant, I will bluff you first, and then say, the purpose is to let the people who come in first integrate into this atmosphere.

There are some low-end paintings and calligraphy on display in the front half of the store, all of which are large-scale goods, which belong to the category of mass production and are not worth a few dollars. The back half of the store is more upscale, like a calligraphy and painting exhibition, with a glass frame, and the calligraphy and painting works inside are very expensive. There is a clear difference between large antique shops and small shops, and large stores clearly mark prices and generally refuse to bargain. When looking at things in a big store, as long as the customer does not ask the price or does not ask for spot inspection, the clerk will not take the initiative to disturb the customer's tasting.

The so-called tasting is not accessible, and the label next to it says that please do not touch it. Calligraphy and painting works are not like bronzes and porcelain, guests can hold it in their hands and look at it over and over again, and ask everyone to go up and touch it a few times, and this painting can be turned into a papyrus. In particular, the precious calligraphy and painting should not only be dust-proof, heat-proof and moisture-proof, but also protected from light, insects and theft. Expensive paintings are not allowed to get started, they are locked in the glass frame, and the general idle people ask for spot inspection, and people are not willing to open the glass frame and take it out for you to see.

Tang Feng came to a painting and stopped, Su Qing and Liu Yue also stopped, this is a portrait of Guanyin, the inscription reads: If there are more sentient beings than *, often recite to respect Guanyin Bodhisattva, you will have to leave desire. If you think too much and always recite the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, you will get rid of your anger. If you are stupid, you will always remember to respect Guanyin Bodhisattva, and you will get rid of foolishness.

The inscription is Zhenguan Yu Khotan County Gong, this Khotanese County Gong is Yu Chi Yi monk, is the early Tang Dynasty painter. He was a Khotanese nobleman in the Tang Dynasty, who was awarded the rank of Su Guard, and later hereditary as the Duke of Khotan. This person is good at painting people, flowers and birds, portraits, Buddha statues, murals, etc., the big paintings are downright and imposing, and the small paintings are as tight as the bent iron coil wire, and the color is rich in three-dimensionality.

Appreciating paintings is generally divided into three steps, the first is visual appreciation, mainly to see the painting itself, as well as the author's seal, other people's inscriptions, collection marks, texture, size, decoration, etc., ancient paintings and antique paintings are different.

"What does Miss Liu think?" Tang Feng asked Liu Yuedao.

Liu Yue asked, "Does Mr. Tang want me to throw bricks and lead jade?"

"Of course not, I need Miss Liu's guidance. Tang Feng said politely, he actually wanted to know what Liu Yue was here for, whether he happened to meet a casual look, or if he wanted to buy it himself.

Liu Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, do you know that excessive modesty is pride, so let's talk about it first." ”

Seeing these two people pushing back and forth, Su Qing on the side couldn't help it, she said, "You two don't be polite, lady first, Liu Yue, you say it first." ”

"Well, I'm making a fool of myself. Liu Yue said: "When you see this inscription, you don't have to look at it anymore, it must be a fake." ”

"It's so simple?" asked Su Qing strangely.

Liu Yue turned to Tang Feng and said, "I believe Mr. Tang can also see it." ”

Tang Feng nodded and said: "Indeed, to buy antiques, you must first shop for antiques, first see how the reputation of this store is, and whether there are fakes." ”

Although a few years ago, it was advocated that there were no fakes in 100 cities and 10,000 stores, but it certainly did not include antique shops, and how many antiques were left by the ancestors in total, which was not enough for this overwhelming antique shop. Shoddy is already considered a conscience vent, and counterfeiting is commonplace.

"Liu Yue, can you finish what you say?" Su Qing had nothing to do with Tang Feng, so she could only ask Liu Yue to reveal the secret.

Liu Yue said: "Guanyin Bodhisattva was called Guanyin at the beginning, and it was called Guanyin after the early Tang Dynasty, because it was necessary to avoid the word 'world' of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. This Yu Chi Yi monk is a painter in the early Tang Dynasty, and the word 'world' cannot appear in his works, so there is no need to read it again after reading the inscription. ”

Tang Feng nodded, Liu Yue was not wrong, feudal society has had a saying since ancient times, the state is a secret, a family is a secret, a country is to avoid the name of the emperor and Confucius, and a family is to avoid the name of his ancestors. However, if you encounter a name that should be avoided, in addition to directly deleting the name, you can also lack a pen or change the word, and you can change the original pronunciation when you say it.

Su Qing looked at the price tag of 180,000 yuan for this painting, and said angrily: "It's really dark enough." ”

If you haven't eaten pork, you should have seen a pig run, and those who dare to play collection don't say how professional they are, but at least they should understand the market. A pair of ancient paintings marked with thousands of children and eight hundred, people don't look at it, modern people have this problem, only choose the expensive ones and don't choose the right ones, or those outrageous brands that are not good in quality but expensive are sold to whom.

Su Qing pointed to a landscape painting with a price tag of 1.5 million across from them and said, "How about that one?"

After listening to what she said, Liu Yue and Tang Feng both walked towards the painting together. However, the purposes of the two were very different, Liu Yue's gaze stayed on the "Empty Mountain Bird Language" that Su Qing was referring to, while Tang Feng's eyes were on another ink painting next to "The Empty Mountain Bird Language".

"Coloring" is a technical term, which is equivalent to a color photo in a photo, while an ink painting is a black and white photo. You get what you pay for, and it is not unreasonable for this painting to reach 1.5 million yuan, and its author's calligraphy and painting are printed with the four words "Huating Sibai", which symbolize the high price. Huating Sibai is the seal of the Ming Dynasty painter Dong Qichang, Dong Qichang is Xuanzai, and the word Yuanzai; Dong Qichang is a native of Huating, Jiangsu, which is now Songjiang, Shanghai, so there will be a calligraphy and painting seal with the words Huating Sibai.

When it comes to Ming Dynasty paintings, Dong Qichang's name can be described as thunderous, he was the most outstanding and influential calligrapher and painter in the late Ming Dynasty. Although Dong Qichang's character is outrageously poor, he definitely belongs to the category of local bullies, and even provoked local civil revolts because of his perverse actions, in a society like China, those who force rebellion must be extremely hateful. But this does not erase his talent, Dong Qichang is talented, quick in writing and thinking, proficient in Zen theory, fine connoisseurship, poetry and literature, good at calligraphy and painting and theory. His paintings had a great influence on the art world in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and also spread to the modern art world, so his works have always been the target of great collectors at home and abroad.

The identification of ancient paintings often needs to be appraised and examined at the same time, and the appraisal is examined and examined. From the visual point of view, this "Empty Mountain Bird Language" ink color is distinct, clumsy with beauty, clear and elegant, the landscape, trees, stones, smoke and clouds are smooth, soft and bone, the turning and spiritual change, full of spirit, should be genuine. After the visual inspection, it is time to research, the first thing to verify is the style of the times and personal style, this painting is not only in line with the painting style of the late Ming Dynasty but also in line with Dong Qichang's personal style.

"Sir......" As soon as these words came out, Tang Feng and Liu Yue looked at each other and smiled, because they said the same thing, and when they heard someone greet them, the guy hurriedly ran over and asked politely, "What do the three of you need?"

"Take out this painting and take a look!" This time even Su Qing couldn't help laughing, Liu Yue pointed to Dong Qichang's "Empty Mountain Bird Language", and Tang Feng pointed to the ink painting, but the two of them spoke in unison. This is also good, at least Tang Feng and Liu Yue will not rush together.
