Sun Zhongyuan went to the auction house in the afternoon, and the press conference for the autumn auction had already started a few days ago, and the preview will start tomorrow. Although he doesn't have to go to work, at this time, he still has to keep an eye on it.

The preview is three days and the auction is three days. The preview is a rented venue at the Dongsan Provincial Art Exhibition Hall, and all the lots are exhibited together.

The three days of the hammer auction are divided into three sessions, the first is calligraphy, painting and furniture, the second is jade, bronze and miscellaneous, and the third is porcelain, each one day. The first two sessions were held in the same hotel, and the last porcelain session was held in a different hotel.

There are more than 200 lots in total.

This year's autumn auction is the smallest number of lots and the shortest duration of the Stars Auction House. In the past, it usually took five to seven days.

It's hard to collect lots these days, and the market is shrinking a bit. Many people rush to the boutique, ordinary antiques, slightly depressed.

Naturally, the auction brochure has been prepared. When Sun Zhongyuan arrived at the office area of the auction house, Huo Xiaodong happened to be holding three auction albums and was about to go to the smoking room, when he saw Sun Zhongyuan coming, "It's just right, let's check it together, and go through it one last time." ”

"It's going to be a preview tomorrow, and you want to check a hammer?" Sun Zhongyuan threw Huo Xiaodong a cigarette.

"That's what I said. Huo Xiaodong and Sun Zhongyuan entered the smoking room, closed the door, and watched while smoking.

This is the third auction, the penultimate auction of the porcelain sale, that is, the finale. And the penultimate auction is a set of Daoguang pastel Fushou pattern cups, with an estimated price of only about 100,000 yuan.

and Xizhou Yucong was placed in the finale position of the second game. The final lot is a cloisonné enamel quail diffuser, estimated at $80,000.

Sun Zhongyuan thought to himself, okay, these two pieces are placed in such a good position for the finale, and the valuation is also very high, and it is estimated that they should be able to fetch a high price.

Just as he was about to flip through the catalogue of calligraphy, painting and furniture lots, Huo Xiaodong suddenly said:

"I said, the finale is the penultimate show, this is the rule of excerpts! Let's auction, we should put the penultimate one as the finale. ”

Indeed, the finale is the penultimate play of an excerpt, and the penultimate one is called the big axis. This singing is like this, the last one is actually an end scene, and some people have even gotten up and left. The penultimate is the most important.

"It's almost the same, if you put it in the last one, I'm afraid of chaos. Sun Zhongyuan said, "And the psychological effect is very critical, don't you think the last one is easy to go wrong?"

"If I like it, I'll stare at what I like!" Huo Xiaodong took a puff of his cigarette, "However, it is true, there are all kinds of people participating in the auction, and they are not even." ”

Sun Zhongyuan opened the album of calligraphy, painting and furniture, and as a result, the head case that was connected to the leg was placed in the last big axis. It's a good thing, but it's broken.

And the finale lot is a piece of Lang Shining's fine brush flowers and birds.

Sun Zhongyuan frowned slightly, it seems that in terms of calligraphy and painting, it is true that he has not collected decent good things, although Lang Shining is famous, he is a court painter in the three generations of Kang Yongqian, Qing Dynasty, and the real paintings are also worth a lot, but after all, he is a foreigner.

It can be seen that none of the calligraphy and paintings collected are of higher value than his paintings, not even in a symbolic sense.

However, Sun Zhongyuan then flipped through it again and actually found a work by Wen Zhengming!

This painting occupies two pages, it is very large, the section and the vermilion seal are clear, and they are all written with Wen Zhengming, which is a "Picture of Autumn in the Cold Forest".

How could Wen Zhengming's work not be placed in the finale? How could Lang Shining be unable to compare with him?

Wen Zhengming's fame is indeed too big, one of the four famous Ming families. The other three of the four Ming families are: Shen Zhou, Tang Bohu, and Qiu Ying.

These four, in the calligraphy and painting world of the Ming Dynasty, are equivalent to the four kings of the entertainment industry in the 80s. And the four of them are actually very close. Shen Zhou was the teacher of Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming, and Tang Bohu also worshipped a man named Zhou Chen as his teacher, and Zhou Chen also taught Qiu Ying. At the same time, Wen Zhengming also collaborated with Qiu Ying on many paintings.

Sun Zhongyuan looked at the introduction with some confusion, no wonder! The introduction explained that this was an imitation!

At the same time, there is no problem in identifying the color of paper and ink, which is almost an imitation of the same era, and it should also be the work of Ming Dynasty calligraphers and painters.

"It's really exquisite!" Sun Zhongyuan has never seen the original of this painting, and there is no legal theory just looking at the picture, but this kind of rigorous attitude is really rare. If there were some auction houses, it is estimated that they would not be broken, and it would be a little more auction.

Also, at the end of the explanation, he also put a little speculation about Shi Lao, he suspected that this imitation came from Wen Zhengming's disciple Zhu Lang, because Zhu Lang imitated a lot of Wen Zhengming's works, and Zhu Lang is characterized by unclear laws, trees without swaying, a bit stereotyped. At the end, there is a parenthesis that reads: Personal opinion only.

"Your grandfather is really good!" Sun Zhongyuan said, pointing to this explanation.

In his later years, his main focus was on calligraphy and painting. Huo Xiaodong said, "What he said should be true. But I haven't asked him yet, this Zhu Lang is Wen Zhengming's apprentice, how can he imitate the master's paintings, and return the master's money, and make it clear that he wants to fake!"

"I've read a copy of the Ming Dynasty's "Painting History Meeting", which talks about some things about this pair of masters and apprentices, which is quite interesting. Sun Zhongyuan took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile.

"I'll go, you're a student of archaeology, why are you looking at this? If you don't put the calligraphy and paintings in the grave, they will rot if you put them in!" Huo Xiaodong tilted his head, "However, since you have seen it, let's talk about it." ”

"Wen Zhengming is a cattle man, and his fame in the Ming Dynasty is very great, and the price of his paintings is very high. He also accepted many apprentices, and Zhu Lang was one of them. ”

This Zhu Lang, who studied painting with Wen Zhengming, learned almost enough, but his paintings still couldn't sell for a good price. Because of the experience of writing for Wen Zhengming, he "had an idea" and simply imitated a large number of Wen Zhengming's paintings to make money. He imitates the text and clarifies, and the conditions are really unique.

The most interesting thing is that Zhu Lang imitated Wen Zhengming, and later became famous! Many people who couldn't afford to buy Wen Zhengming's paintings retreated to Zhu Lang to buy imitations!

On this day, a foreigner arrived in Suzhou, and after staying there, he asked the servant to take the silver from the child to Zhu Lang to buy a painting. Seeing Wen Zhengming, he took out the silver and said something to the effect: My master asked me to come to Mr. Zhu Lang and buy a copy of Wen Zhengming!

Wen Zhengming actually took the silver and said with a smile: I painted the real Hengshan, and I talked about being a fake Zilang, but what?

Hengshan, Wen Zhengming, Hengshan, Zilang, Zhu Lang, Zilang. This article shows that if he wants to paint one by himself, it will be regarded as Zhu Lang's fake painting copying him, and he also asked the boy if he could do it!

"Wen Zhengming, pretend to be a master!" Huo Xiaodong shouted.

Sun Zhongyuan was speechless.
