Walking into Huang Shiquan's treasure room, Yang Fan understood what it meant to be heavily defended, and the defense system here, even if a small missile bombarded down, it could ensure that the treasures inside would not be affected.

In contrast, his basement was as insecure as taking his pants off.

After I go back, I have to talk to Xu Ping, get down the monitoring device, etc. At least on the periphery of the villa, it needs to be monitored, and nothing else matters. In addition, the treasure room needs to be fortified, and the renovation is a certainty.

"Tsk, that's a lot better than the treasure trove of my auction house. He Tan said.

"There are some important things in it, so you have to guard against it!" Huang Shiquan said with a smile.

There were very few outsiders who entered his treasure room, and this time, it was also for the sake of He Tan's family background and the face of Yang Fan's teacher Jia Lao that he brought them in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a Bodhisattva sculpture, which was a colored sculpture and very old.

One of the folk handicrafts of the Han nationality, with clay plus fibers, river sand, water, kneaded into the cement as the material, on the wooden skeleton for body shaping, after the shade is dry, the caulking, polishing, and then coloring the depicted works are called color sculptures.

"This is a Buddha statue in the Mogao Grottoes, and I took a lot of effort to get it back from abroad. Huang Shiquan introduced.

Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as the Thousand Buddha Caves, is located in Dunhuang at the western end of the Hexi Corridor. It was founded in the pre-Qin period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and after the Sixteen Kingdoms, it is the world's largest and richest Buddhist art site.

The Mogao Grottoes are also a veritable treasure trove of cultural relics. More than 50,000 pieces of scriptures, documents, weaving and embroidery, portraits, etc. have been unearthed in the Tibetan scripture cave, and the artistic value is extremely high, but unfortunately due to the ignorance and ignorance of the Wang Taoist priest who presided over the Mogao Grottoes at that time, these treasures were almost all stolen abroad.

"The loss of Mogao Grottoes is really big!" He Tan couldn't help but sigh.

If he is allowed to auction by the auction house, it will be enough to promote the auction house to a world-class auction house, and it can also allow the auction house to not worry about the shortage of treasures for half a century.

"It's a pity that I can't get back the most precious frescoes. Huang Shiquan was a little regretful.

He has been tracking the murals of the Mogao Grottoes, but they have either been placed in museums in various countries, or they have been tightly hidden, and there is no news. That museum's, there's no way to get it out.

Don't say it's him, even if it's useless for our country to exert pressure.

In addition, he bought several scriptures from Japan, and one of them was a national treasure, which he bought back for less than 1 million yen, which can be described as very lucky.

At that time, the Japanese were also downcast, and their ancestors should have been one of the robbers in the Mogao Grottoes, leaving some scriptures. It was the confusion of life that he secretly took it out and sold it, and he just picked it up cheaply.

From the Bodhisattva, everyone can feel the emotion of compassion, which shows the mastery of the craftsman who made this colored sculpture Bodhisattva.

"This treasure, even the current Mogao Grottoes can't find a few such fine pieces!" Yang Fan commented.

With their skillful skills, high generalization ability and rich imagination, the ancient craftsmen skillfully combined clay sculpture and color painting to create many artistic images with beautiful shapes and vivid expressions, which provided important material materials for the study of China's sculpture art and the inheritance of national artistic heritage.

"This bottle of Guanyin is very rare, before, I didn't know who released the rumors, and the museum came to me to discuss and wanted to move to the museum. However, I didn't say yes. Huang Shiquan said.

He pointed to a glass preservation box next to him: "These scriptures are all items from the Mogao Grottoes, and what is in that box is the most precious "Kusha Treatise", but unfortunately, I only have one volume here." ”

The Kusha Treatise is a Buddhist classic and is very famous.

Legend has it that when he was not yet a believer in Mahayana Buddhism in his early years, he first became a monk in the Sarvastivada Sect, and later accepted the new Mahayana doctrine at that time. When the relatives preached the Mahavibhasha for the devotees in Kashmir and Gandhara, they finished a paragraph every day, that is, summarized its meaning and made a single verse, and the whole treatise was completed into 600 verses, which is now the Kusha Treatise.

This scripture was obtained by Tang Xuanfei from the western heavens of India, which can be seen to be unusual.

Although it is not the original work, it is also translated by Tang Xuan. Later, I searched for a long time and found that there was another volume in a museum in Japan. I've tried for a long time, trying to buy people from the museum, but I still can't get it back. Huang Shiquan was a little unwilling.

There are so many 30 volumes of the Kusha Treatise, not to mention whether all of them have been preserved in their entirety, almost every volume is scattered all over the world, and it is not easy to gather together!

"As long as you work hard, there is still a way to bring back the national treasure. Yang Fan didn't care very much.

The main reason is that there are so many Chinese cultural relics that have been lost overseas that you can't worry about it at all. Perhaps, with the efforts of several generations, it may not be possible to return all the national treasures to the motherland.

"Those gringos, one better than the other, are waiting for those treasures to appreciate in the future, and then take them out for auction one by one, and make a lot of money for us Chinese. He Tan said.

He does auctions, so he naturally understands these things thoroughly.

If it were him, he would definitely do the same. If there are foreign cultural relics, such as the oil paintings of such and such a painter, immediately hype them up and let those gringos live and die for the whole thing.

Nowadays, Western oil painting is precious, almost well-known, and it is really incomprehensible that an abstract thing can fetch two or three hundred million dollars.

Those who can understand it may think that it is not bad, and those who can't understand it may think that it is the work of elementary school students.

He still remembers a time when he made a lot of jokes. A foreign auction house took out an abstract oil painting for auction, and it was exposed on the spot, it was not abstract, but a real child's casual painting.

However, don't think that the Chinese love face. The gringos also refused to admit defeat, and forcibly auctioned the sky-high price of millions of dollars, vomiting blood?

"Therefore, when you encounter gringo cultural relics in the future, don't be soft-hearted, the price is high. He Tan expressed his opinion.

"I was also planning to open an auction of Western antiquities, but unfortunately, I never found a good auction item. Dude, you're going to have to work hard. ”

Yang Fan rolled his eyes and said secretly: Those appraisers in your auction house were all recruited to make offerings?

However, it is a bit difficult to find foreign artifacts in China. There are very few gringos in the first place, and Chinese collectors don't like it very much, and it's rare for them to lose something in our country.

In short, it is very difficult to hold an auction on the topic of Western cultural relics.

The three of them chatted as they walked inside, admiring the treasures on both sides. Suddenly, Yang Fan stopped and found a very interesting treasure.
