Chapter 301: Tian Huang, Rare Porcelain, and Calligraphy and Painting
Chapter 301 Tian Huang, Precious Porcelain and Calligraphy and Painting
Seeing the inscription of this Tian Huangshi seal, Liu Dong suddenly remembered that when he saw the record of Tian Huangshi, in addition to saying that Tian Huangshi is a treasure among the varieties of Shoushan stone. Because it has the meaning of "blessing", "longevity", "Tian" (wealth), "yellow" (the emperor's special color), and has the six virtues of fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm and condensed stone, it is called "emperor stone", and has become the introduction of the national stone dedicated to the Qing Dynasty, and it has also been mentioned that when Emperor Xianfeng was dying, he gave Cixi a side of Tian Huang Yuxi, and Cixi was buried in Dongling after his death. It's just that after Sun Dianying robbed the tomb, he didn't know what to do.
"I didn't expect to be caught by this Mr. Wang, but now it's cheaper for me in the end!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.
For this unique and historically valuable one-of-a-kind Tianhuangshi jade seal, it is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure, and Liu Dong naturally likes it. So, after tasting it in my hand, I was in the mustard seed space.
"It's rare to see such a large piece of Tianhuang stone!" Liu Dong thought.
Putting away Cixi's Tian Huangshi jade seal, Liu Dong went to look at the three pieces of porcelain again.
Almost at the same time as his hand touched, the specific identification results of the three pieces of porcelain had already come out.
"Ming Yongle blue and white hanging shoulder flower fruit pattern plum vase!"
"Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup!"
And known as the 'official kiln in the official kiln', there are only two or three hundred pieces of Qing Dynasty imperial kiln enamel porcelain in the world - "Yongzheng enamel color five-claw dragon pattern bowl"!
Speaking of this, I have to mention two words 'Imperial Kiln'!
The imperial kiln is the Ming and Qing dynasties for the emperor to burn porcelain for the imperial porcelain factory, the Ming Dynasty Hongwu two years formally set up the imperial factory. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed the Imperial Kiln Factory. All Imperial Kiln products were theoretically returned to the Emperor. It may not be used by others. The uniqueness of imperial kiln porcelain determines that its production is not arbitrary. Basically, craftsmen are not allowed to have a subjective consciousness to play and create. During the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, the production of porcelain in the imperial kiln was carried out in accordance with the style issued by the inner court.
The concept of "imperial kiln" is not the same as that of "official kiln", which is a kiln factory funded by the government to produce ceramics, and the flow of products is controlled by the government, part of which is used by the government, and the rest can be freely bought and sold in the market. This kind of official kiln has existed since ancient times, such as Song official kiln porcelain. The imperial kiln is a special type of official kiln, which is only seen in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is an institution set up by the central government in Jingdezhen to be responsible for the production of imperial porcelain, and the products are exclusively for royal use is its most significant feature.
Therefore, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial kiln ware is more precious than the official kiln ware.
At this moment, the three pieces of porcelain that Liu Dong saw all belonged to the imperial kiln for the emperor's use, and they were all worth more than 10 million, and even the last Yongzheng enamel five-claw dragon pattern bowl was even more valuable.
Satisfied, he put three pieces of priceless precious porcelain into the mustard seed space, and Liu Dong secretly said in his heart: "Although I took a little risk this time. But it's the right place! Otherwise, so many precious antiques will be lost to me. Wouldn't that be a pity! ”
After reading the porcelain, Liu Dong went to get the rest of the calligraphy and paintings, and after the first few things, Liu Dong was full of more expectations for the remaining two calligraphy and painting scrolls and an album, and the strong aura on them before also showed that these three things were good.
After Liu Dong opened the scroll, he quickly immersed himself in the joy of discovering the treasure.
"This is the "Autumn Mountain Travel Map" by Dong Yuan, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Southern Tang Dynasty of the fifth generation, which is really unbelievable!" Up to now, there are no more than five authentic paintings and calligraphy of Dong Yuan confirmed in the world, and of course it is unknown whether there are private collections. However, at this moment, this pair with Mi Pei, Jia Rudao, Dong Qichang and others promoted, and Dong Yuan's calligraphy works are inherited in an orderly manner, and there is no doubt that they are authentic.
"Cai Xiang, one of the four Song families, has a calligraphy masterpiece "Lychee Spectrum"!"
The second scroll in Liu Dong's hand is a pair of Cai Xiang's calligraphy, of course, this calligraphy scroll is obviously three pieces of double silk spliced together, the painting heart is 18 meters long, plus the promotion, close to 22 meters, if the belly and back and the heaven and earth two poles are added together, the length of this scroll is close to 26 meters.
In the fourth year of Jiayou (1059), Cai Xiang wrote the book "Lychee Spectrum" in Quanzhou, which is divided into 3 volumes and 7 articles, including the origin, ecology, function, consumption, processing, storage, transportation and marketing of lychee, and introduces 32 kinds of lychee varieties. It is an important reference material for the study of the history of lychee. It is also a rare authentic painting of Cai Xiang.
According to the promotion next to this volume of Cai Xiang's "Lychee Spectrum" calligraphy and painting, it is a person named Shen Chong who got Cai Xiang's original volume of Lychee Spectrum, because he loves Cai Xiang's calligraphy, so he specially invited someone to splice the three volumes of lychees together to make this huge regular script of Cai Xiang's calligraphy.
What's even more difficult is that because this volume of lychee is originally a popular science book, there are many vignettes about lychees on it.
"A national treasure, this is a real national treasure!" sighed that Liu Dong put away this huge volume of Cai Xiang's calligraphy.
The last antique is the flower album of Wu Changshuo, one of the "Four Masters of the Shanghai School in the Late Qing Dynasty", with 16 sheets of 8 opens! It's also a valuable thing, but it's much inferior to the previous two.
But despite this, Liu Dong still felt very satisfied.
After the seven priceless antiques inside the upper safe were cleaned, a black sandalwood box appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes.
He already knew what was in the box. At the beginning, Uncle Li, what they wanted to get from the middle-aged man surnamed Wang was the contents of this sandalwood box.
After taking it, Liu Dong opened the metal buckle on it, and then in a box the same size as a primary school textbook, dozens of thick cash checks appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes, and the numbers on the cash checks were more or less, more than 20 million, and the few were only 100,000, and these checks were the auction income obtained by the middle-aged man surnamed Wang at the auction just now, but because the time was too short, the money on it had not been taken out.
Liu Dong took out the checks and counted them, there were about sixty-five, and the total amount of all the checks was about 65.8 million. For Liu Dong, this is another windfall.
Of course, this number is not the largest, and after Liu Dong lifted a layer of red silk cloth on the ground floor of the box, and then removed a thin layer of partition, two more checks appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes, to be precise, two bank cashier's checks, one Swiss bank, one JPMorgan Chase Bank, and the two bank cashier's checks together were worth 120 million US dollars.
Seeing these two checks, plus the 50 million US dollars I got from Uncle Li tonight, as well as the half ton of gold and jewelry and jade here, as well as the more than 60 million dollars in tonight's auction, and the scattered millions of US dollars in the safe, and one million Huaxia coins, all of these add up to more than 210 million US dollars, 1.5 billion Huaxia coins. In just one night, Liu Dong nearly doubled his net worth.
Thinking of this number, Liu Dong immediately came up with a famous sentence that has been circulating in the rivers and lakes for a long time - 'Murder and arson of gold belts, build bridges and pave roads, and there are no corpses!' ’
"Hey, why did you think of this, I'm fine now, I don't want to kill people and set fires, and tonight's incident is just forced to be helpless!" Liu Dong couldn't help but warn himself in his heart, of course, the joy of getting a large amount of money could not be hidden no matter what.
Put these cashier's checks and cash checks into the mustard seed space, and then see if they are not left behind, Liu Dong closed the safe. Walk back into the living room.
Smelling the strong smell of blood here, as well as the corpses all over the ground, Liu Dong couldn't help frowning. If these corpses are left alone, then there will definitely not be long to hide here, and when the time comes, the big case of more than 30 lives, I don't know how many waves will be set off, and it is likely that he will be involved at that time, which Liu Dong does not want to see.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong also had an idea in his heart, and then he began to transfer all the corpses here to his mustard seed space, and now after the blessing of the incense and wish power of many Buddhist temples, Liu Dong's mustard seed space has reached a length, width and height of eighty meters, but what he can't understand is that the shroud range of his relics Yuanguang has stopped growing after reaching a radius of 100 meters, no matter how he tries, it has no effect, and finally he can't do it, so he has to put it down temporarily.
Next, it took two minutes to put away all the corpses in the entire underground space, as well as the clothes, furniture, and bedding that could identify them. cleaned up the blood stains on the ground, and then Liu Dong found the bathroom here, changed his clothes and took a bath for himself.
After washing away the blood stains on his body and the anger left over from the murder, he looked at it again with the relics and felt that there was nothing left, and then came out of the corridor in the middle of the wall.
Then he put away the corpse outside, cleaned up the bloodstains, and finally received the 'Chao Guoding' into the mustard seed space, and then erased all the traces of qiē, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction.
The reason why he did this was because Liu Dong understood that as long as the bodies of these people could not be found, then they were missing, and there were thousands of missing people in the country every year, for various reasons, and it was not a big case. Compared with the heinous murder of more than 30 people, it is really insignificant.
"But dealing with these corpses is also a problem!" Noticing the more than thirty corpses in the corner of the mustard seed space, Liu Dong couldn't help frowning.
However, for the time being, he couldn't think of any good way, so he could only let them stay in the mustard seed space first, but fortunately, the things in the mustard seed space were controlled by him, and these corpses were not allowed to destroy his antiques.
"It's time to leave!" Looking at the sun rising high in the sky, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel lazy, although he didn't rest for a night, Liu Dong didn't feel tired at all. (To be continued......)
