After Zhang Tianyuan bought the book, he was quite proud, but he was also a little puzzled, what kind of answer would his question be?

Fortunately, the network is very developed now, he found a slightly more secluded place, opened his mobile phone and searched on the Internet, but he was a little disappointed, there was no information about this on the Internet, and in desperation, he called Li Mingguang.

Zhang Tianyuan told Li Mingguang his questions, hoping that the old professor could answer his questions.

Li Mingguang really deserves to be arrogant and knowledgeable at the National University of Geosciences, and he has already found the answer in just a moment.

"Well, Yi Jia is the pen name of Qu Qiu Bai, who once had a holy friendship with Lu Xun. "The Liberated Dong Quixote" is translated by Lu Xun with a foreword and a postscript, including one color illustration and thirteen woodblock print illustrations, which is a Chinese translation of the Soviet nine-act drama based on the first book of the European Renaissance, Don Quixote!" Li Mingguang replied on the phone.

"I see, it was translated by Mr. Qu Qiu Bai!" Zhang Tianyuan suddenly realized at this time.

In January 1931, Qu Qiu Bai was framed and relieved of his position, but he did not become depressed and devoted his main energy to literary creation and translation. From 1931 to 1933, Comrade Qu Qiu Bai led the left-wing cultural movement together with Mr. Lu Xun in Shangpu. During this period, he devoted himself to introducing Marxist literary and artistic theories, introducing Russian and Soviet literary and artistic works, and made important contributions to China's revolutionary cultural movement.

From 1931 to 1933, Lu Xun and Qu Qiubai's close revolutionary friendship has long been praised and praised by people. On November 20, 1931, Lu Xun Tong Guò Feng Xuefeng invited Qu Qiu Bai to translate Don Quixote at the Liberated. It began to be published in the fourth issue of the first volume of Beidou. On May 15, 1932, Qu Qiu Bai translated the entire text. Early January 1934. Before leaving Shangpu for the Central and Soviet Districts, Qu Qiu Bai went to Lu Xun's apartment to say goodbye. In order to express regret. Lu Xun proposed to Xu Guangping to give up the bed to Qu Qiu Bai to sleep on, and sleep on the floor by himself, in order to make a little more infinite friendship in case of emergency. It was the last meeting between the two great men. Arranged by Mr. Lu Xun, the book was first published by Shangpu Lianhua Book Company in April 1934. In February 1935, Qu Qiu Bai was captured during the breakout and generously surrendered on June 18 of the same year.

In 1934, the Shangpu Lianhua Book Company's edition of "Dong Quixote Liberated" carried the friendship and tacit understanding of cooperation between these two close friends in the literary world and revolutionary comrades. The book is rare, and it is no wonder that Professor Lu Xin, a collector and researcher of Lu Xun's edition, said that he had been searching for 30 years without success. Today, this book "The Liberated Dong Quixote" has become a precious cultural relic that witnesses the friendship between Qu Qiu Bai and Lu Xun. How about selling it to me?" asked Professor Li Mingguang with a smile.

"How much does Professor Li think this book is worth?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"This is a priceless treasure for people who know and like this kind of collection, even for people who don't like this kind of collection, this is a rare collection, it is not a problem to sell it for tens of thousands of dollars, if you meet a collection maniac, hundreds of thousands of people will come out. Professor Li Mingguang replied.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "Forget it, I don't think I'm short of this money now, if the professor likes it." I'll give it to you, how about it as my apprenticeship?"

"Okay, I like this thing more than the jade ornament you sent. Professor Li Mingguang said with a smile.

"Well, so be it. I still have two people to accompany me, so I won't talk about it for now. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianyuan put the book into his personal pocket. There are many people in this place, and there are many thieves. If you're not careful, you might throw it away.

……

"I see, you just bought a book for two hundred dollars. Why is it still mysterious?" Ouyang Xiaodan touched Zhang Tianyuan with his arm and asked.

"Well, I bought a book, your eyes are quite pointed, didn't you also buy a book?" Zhang Tianyuan asked rhetorically.

"I gave it to my grandfather, what about you? Do you like those old books too?"

"I said Xiaodan, I'm also a reader, I've been studying hard for more than ten years, it's normal to be interested in books, right?" Zhang Tianyuan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"That's right!"

It seemed that Ouyang Xiaodan and Zhang Tianyuan had too much fun, and Mu Ying deliberately interjected: "There seems to be a seller of ceramic products over there, are there any antiques? ”

Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly: "In this place, one of the 10,000 pieces can be picked out of a real one, it is all good luck, it is all lucky, you really think that antiques are so easy to find, and it is also Pan Jiayuan, if you really want to buy antique ceramics, it is more suitable to go to the glass factory than here." ”

"I like it here, you can do a favor, don't be too good, just fit, anyway, my grandfather won't be too picky, I give him a high imitation, he will be very happy." Mu Ying said.

"Okay, okay, then let's watch it first, you can also pick and choose for yourself, you have been in the antique business before, and your vision is not bad, right?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Well, then let's find it together, if this Ouyang girl is short of time, she doesn't have to accompany us. Mu Ying said to Ouyang Xiaodan with a smile.

"I'm fine, I'm here to play anyway, you're not familiar with Panjiayuan, I'll be a tour guide, I've been here many times, and I'm very familiar with this place." Ouyang Xiaodan didn't know if he didn't hear the meaning of Mu Ying's words, or if he heard it but deliberately pretended to be stupid, he resolutely refused to leave anyway.

Mu Ying was embarrassed to drive her away directly, so the three of them simply acted together.

Zhang Tianyuan actually wants to buy some good things, after the decoration of his courtyard, he must need a lot of furnishings, it should be good to come to Panjiayuan to find some points, in fact, it may not have to be true, as long as it is beautiful and well-made, even if it is a high imitation, after all, the huge courtyard house cannot all be put on the real thing, so it will not soon cost Zhang Tianyuan all the money.

Actually, let's talk about it. A lot of the ceramic products here are very good, especially the high-imitation ones. Because of the use of some modern science and technology for firing, the ceramics made are not only very similar. Even in terms of quality, many are much better than the ancient genuine.

What is more interesting is that there are some high imitations mixed into the fake market, the result is that because the quality is too good, it is easy to be recognized as high imitations, which has to be said, is a kind of sadness of modern ceramics.

Many people buy ceramic products for the sake of beauty or practicality. It's purely for the sake of the heaviness of history, if it's fake, no matter how beautiful you are, it's worthless, and they won't buy it.

This thing doesn't want jade, whether it's ancient jade or modern jade, it's all jade, it's a very valuable gemstone, if the ceramic has no history. It's just an ordinary daily necessities, worthless.

Zhang Tianyuan was lowering his head and thinking about something, when he suddenly heard Mu Ying shouting in surprise: "Zhang Tianyuan, come quickly! Brother Tom!"

He looked up. A foreign man in sunglasses is grabbed by the arm by a vendor, and if this is not Tom Cruise's twin brother, it must be Tom Cruise himself.

"What's going on?" Ouyang Xiaodan is a police officer. And this official is not small, and he has seen injustice. always wants to take care of it, she doesn't like Brother Tom. He didn't even know who Tom was, but when he saw that the foreigner was being dragged by, he squeezed in and shouted, "What's the matter, what's going on, I'm a policeman!"

"Comrade policeman, you came just in time, you came to give me a comment, this foreigner broke my Yuan Qinghua! But he only paid me 1,000 US dollars, there is no such cheap thing, at least 10,000!" The vendor said with a sad face, probably because Ouyang Xiaodan was a young policewoman who didn't understand porcelain, and saying such hilarious words also made Zhang Tianyuan cry and laugh.

"No, no, no, this policeman, he's slandering! Bullying me for not understanding porcelain!" Brother Tom said desperately.

Ouyang Xiaodan was a little dumbfounded at this time, he really didn't know anything about porcelain, what Yuan Qinghua? Her mind was just a mess, seeing Zhang Tianyuan outside, she hurriedly dragged Zhang Tianyuan in and said, "This is an expert, let him see how much this thing is worth!"

Zhang Tianyuan suddenly had a headache, he looked at the porcelain vase, and said that Yuan Qinghua was right, because it was a high imitation, it was barely considered.

The genuine blue and white pattern of this jar is divided into four layers, the first layer of neck: decorated with water ripples, the second layer of shoulders: decorated with entwined branch peonies, the third layer of abdomen: for the theme of "Guiguzi descending the mountain" ornamentation, and the lower part of the fourth layer: for the deformation of lotus petals inside the painting of Chenbao, commonly known as "eight big yards".

The theme picture depicts the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi, who agreed to go down the mountain to rescue Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, the famous generals of Qi who were trapped by Yan State, at the repeated request of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi State. Guiguzi sat in the car pulled by a tiger and a leopard, leaning forward slightly, his demeanor was calm, extraordinary as an immortal, and he showed his demeanor of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.

In front of the car, two foot soldiers held spears to open the way, a young general heroic, riding on horseback, holding the battle flag, writing the word "Ghost Valley", Su Dai rode behind the palace. A group of people and mountains, trees and stones constitute a spectacular and beautiful landscape character painting. The whole blue and white ornament is colorful, the picture is full, sparse and dense, the main and secondary are distinct, and they are integrated. The character portrayal is smooth and natural, full of charm, the mountains and rocks are dyed heartily, the pen is fine, very perfect, just as Mr. Sun Yingzhou said: "The porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is 'quite fine'".

That's right, the object of this thing's high imitation is the "Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi Descending Mountain Jar".

You say it's not good for you to imitate something, just imitate this thing, just deceive foreigners, you are cheating people in this Pan homeland, are you really not afraid of revealing stuffing?

Originally, Yuan blue and white porcelain belonged to strange goods. Among the few surviving Yuan blue and white porcelain, there are even fewer paintings with the theme of character stories.

Like the "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" picture jar with character stories, there are only 9 pieces of Yuan Qinghua jars that are known to be handed down, and each one has an exact place, and people who know a little bit about Yuan Qinghua will not be fooled.

For example, this genuine piece of Yuan blue and white is decorated with "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain", which describes the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi who promised to go down the mountain to rescue Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, the famous generals of Qi who were trapped by Yan State, under the repeated requests of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi State. On July 12, 2005, at the "Chinese Ceramics, Crafts and Export Crafts" auction held at Christie's in London, it was sold for 14 million pounds, and after commission, it was 15.688 million pounds, equivalent to about 230 million RMB, setting the highest auction record for Chinese art in the world at that time.

"I said brother, a thousand dollars is a lot, that's pretty much it. Zhang Tianyuan didn't debunk the fact that the thing was a fake, after all, he didn't want to get into trouble if he hit someone in the face, and a thousand dollars was nothing to Brother Tom, after all, he broke someone else's things, and losing some money was a lesson.
