Chapter 283: An even more precious comic book manuscript
Chapter 283 is an even more precious original comic book manuscript
Seeing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but shake his head a little helplessly, what kind of antique collection to someone like Mu Gang is like playing the piano to the cow.
"Xiaodong, look here again, I'll go out to buy something to eat, I didn't eat enough at noon, I'm hungry!"
"I know, Brother Mu will come back early, don't make trouble outside!" The reason why I said this was not because I was afraid that Mu Gang would suffer, but because I was afraid that he would break others.
"Don't worry, I know!"
Seeing Mu Gang's figure disappear outside the door, Liu Dong shook his head and refocused his attention on the villain book in front of him. Then the expression on his face turned to joy.
Holding the "Water Margin" that Mu Gang threw down just now in his hand, Liu Dong watched it page by page, and the more he looked at it, the more joyful the look on his face became.
The villain book of "Water Margin" was published by the comic book editorial office of the People's Fine Arts Publishing House, which was responsible for the production and publication of Zuò, and brought together the six best comic book masters in China at that time: Xu Yansun, Bu Xiaohuai, Mo Lang, Chen Yuandu, Ren Shuying, and Wu Guangyu. By 1957, 21 volumes of the "Water Margin" villain book had been published. The remaining 9 volumes were not published until 1987, when the end of the Cultural Revolution and the climax of comic book publishing, that is, 30 volumes of "Water Margin" were prepared for 30 years.
The "Water Margin" in Liu Dong's hand is the first edition printed in 1987, and what is even more rare is that there is no damage, stains, or creases, and the quality can be called 'ten products', that is, ten percent new.
After the comic book collection became more and more popular, this old version of ten percent of the new villain book works will basically not be traded on the market. It's all secretly traded.
Stack the Water Margin one by one. Reseal with kraft paper. Then I took the second pack of open comic books.
Flip to the front. The five words of "Yangtze River Trilogy" made Liu Dong's eyes shine.
For this villain book, after paying attention to the collection, he also learned a lot.
The authors of the "Yangtze River Trilogy" are Wang Guoxin and Zheng Guilan, the two are husband and wife, and in order to create this comic book, the two spent nearly ten years from Shanghai to Chengdu. traveled all over the Yangtze River, and their son was in the basket of the two, sleeping with the wind and food, from one year old to ten years old.
From 1982 to 1990, "Yangtze River Trilogy" published 10 volumes, a total of 1,666 paintings, none of which had the same composition, and used a lot of film techniques in the creation, and won the second prize of painting and the second prize of literary script in the third national comic book award.
And at this moment, Liu Dong is holding this volume. It is the first edition of the "Yangtze River Trilogy", and it is also ten percent new.
After reading the "Yangtze River Trilogy", it was sorted out. Liu Dong took out the carving knife he carried with him from the mustard seed space, carefully cut the tape, and after opening the brown paper book envelope, "Behind the Enemy Lines", a villain book that Liu Dong had read several times when he was a child, was revealed.
Next, as Liu Dong opened the kraft book covers, "Red Women's Army", "White-Haired Girl", "Harbor", "Shajiabang", "Red Lantern Story", "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", "Ode to Longjiang" and other revolutionary villain books, as well as "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" color books, "Life and Death Card", "Mulberry Garden Club", "Peacock Flying Southeast", "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Yang Gate Female General", "Mulan in the Army" and other folk and mythological villain books appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes one by one.
What's even more rare is this big wooden box, 112 kinds, 545 villain books, all of which are ten percent new and rare.
After reading these, Liu Dong looked forward to the villain book in the other box even more. Because when the relic's yuan light shrouded these two wooden boxes, the light emitted by the latter one was much stronger than these two.
In 1951, the first comic strip of ethnic minority literature "Little Naughty" was published by the Inner Mongolian-Ancient Publishing House, and in 1953, the first foreign comic strip "Chicken Feather Letter" was published by the Foreign Languages Publishing House.
Wang Shuhui's "The Legend of the West Chamber", Gu Bingxin's "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", Hua Sanchuan's "The White-Haired Girl", Zhao Hongben, and Qian Xiaodu's "Monkey King Three Fights the White Bone Spirit", these are all real masterpieces.
And in addition to these masterpieces after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are also "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Fengshen Bang", "Yue Fei's Biography", as well as Ye Qianyu's "Mr. Wang" and Zhang Leping's "Sanmao Wanderings" during the Republic of China.
Of course, the quality of these works is not as good as the one in the first box, but now there are probably not many people who can collect so many precious comic books in the Republic of China and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In addition to these printed comic strips, Liu Dong also found the first drafts of thirteen comic strips at the bottom of the second box, including the pencil line drawing "Lady of the Camellias" by Chen Jian, a master of hard pen line drawing, "The Legend of the West Chamber" by Wang Shuhui, "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" and "Haunting the Heavenly Palace" by Liu Jidian, "Peach Blossom Fan" by Ren Shuying, "The Fairy Tree" by Lu Yanshao, "The Story of the Traffic Station" by Hua Sanchuan, "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River" by Gu Bingxin, "Comrade Zhou-En-Lai in Meiyuan New Village" by Zheng Jiasheng and others, Tang Xiaoming, Chen Yanning's "Song of the Proletariat".
and three original manuscripts of "The True Story of Comic Ah Q" created by the famous cartoonist Feng Zikai in 1939 during the Republic of China, the original manuscript of "Wen Tianxiang" by Zhao Hongben in 1940, and the original manuscript of "The Biography of Jigong" by Shen Manyun, who is also one of the four famous Dans.
Looking at the original manuscripts of these thirteen comic strips, almost each of which can reach millions of yuan, Liu Dong was infinitely happy in his heart, and at the same time, he also understood that the deceased old man Zhao's favorite thing to collect was not porcelain, calligraphy and painting, or miscellaneous things, but the comic book in front of him.
"The reason why this old man Zhao was able to collect so many comic strips is probably not unrelated to his old man's previous work!" Regardless of whether the guess is accurate or not, Liu Dong immediately put all the comic strips in the second box into his mustard seed space, but he is not in a hurry to repair the stains on these comic strips with relics Yuanguang. Instead, he took out the jade pillow that emitted a rich red light from before.
The red glow means that the contents are at least 1,000 years old. However, without touching the contents with his own hands, Liu Dong could not make an identification.
After taking the jade pillow in his hand and flipping it around, using the perspective effect of the relics Yuanguang, Liu Dong could clearly see a thin slit on the jade pillow that was not much thicker than a hair. The slit circled the pillow, and it was evident that the things had been put in and glued together in the first place.
This jade pillow was not worth a few dollars, and Liu Dong didn't think about opening it from this gap again.
However, as soon as he picked up the diamond carving knife, Liu Dong was about to cut it from the edge of the jade pillow, but he suddenly stopped.
"The age of this jade pillow is almost six hundred years old now, which means that the things inside have also been sealed in it for almost six hundred years, if it is taken out and there is any damage, it will not be beautiful!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.
Jade originally has the effect of heat preservation and moisturizing, the jade pillow has been almost six hundred years old, and the oxygen in it must have been extremely low, and now the environment in the jade pillow is the same as the ancient tomb that has been buried for five or six hundred years.
At the time of archaeological excavation, the 'oxidation' of antique relics after being buried deep underground for a long time has always been the most troublesome thing, and Liu Dong does not want the tragedy of the development of the Ming Ding Mausoleum decades ago to happen to him. The contents of this jade pillow are so precious.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong put his hand on the jade pillow, and then walked freely, slowly letting the antiques in the jade pillow slowly absorb his relics, and it was not until five minutes later that Liu Dong withdrew his hand, but looking at the mustard seed space in his mind that had shrunk by nearly half a meter, he grinned in distress.
"It seems that we will have to collect more power of this incense in the future, otherwise it will not be enough at all!"
He shook his head and put his mind at ease for a moment.
Subsequently, Liu Dong used a hard carving knife to slowly cut off the section on the right side of the jade pillow, this carving knife is usually used by him to cut jade, it is very sharp, plus Liu Dong himself is different from ordinary people's strength, so using this knife to cut the jade pillow is no different from cutting tofu.
Soon, as the jade piece slightly larger than an adult's palm fell, the space inside the jade pillow also appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes.
"Ah, this smell is enough to choke people!" After sneezing a few times, Liu Dong rubbed his nose and took the jade pillow aside, the musty smell that had been covered for nearly six hundred years was really choking.
At this time, because of the oxidation reaction, some of the blue coarse cloths that were originally inside the jade pillow also quickly lost color and hardened, but Liu Dong didn't care much about them, even if they were intact, they didn't have much value, so Liu Dong didn't waste his relics for them.
At this time, Liu Dong no longer had the original intention of pouring the contents of the jade pillow on his bed, in case there were any bacteria or something like that, then it would be too late for him to cry, although the probability was very small.
But for the sake of prudence, Liu Dong still took off the white sheets on the bed, folded them a few times and spread them on the ground, and then poured all the things in the jade pillow on the sheets.
Liu Dong didn't have the slightest interest in touching the coarse cloth fillers that had turned gray and moldy, but directly reached out and held a roll of bright yellow, old-looking silk silk that surrounded them in the center, and held it in his hand with great care.
Looking at the thick roll in his hand, the look of surprise on Liu Dong's face became even stronger.
At this time, he didn't care about whether there were bacteria or not, and directly spread the silk silk on his bed, and then a Fengrun lady riding a five-colored divine bird appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes, the woman was dressed in a luxurious cloud shirt, with fluttering sleeves, sitting cross-legged on the bird's back, and sat down on the body of the eagle-winged crane, a peacock head, and a long feather fan tail.
Turning back, there was a cyan sacred cow, followed by a donkey-headed and six-armed man, and then the well-known characters in "Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Quarters Body Map" appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes one by one. (To be continued......)
