Chapter 630: Drinking Foreign Ink
PS: Kavin feels so uncomfortable, he encountered a bottleneck when he was about to reach two million words, which is also a relatively normal thing, slow down, today is two more, everyone forgive me.
Hearing Pi Qiushi's introduction, Wang Guan knew that this person had a good relationship with him, and immediately greeted him.
"Is the fat man hurting me, or praising me?"
Brother Sha's real name is naturally not Sha Yidao, but Sha Qingfeng, who crawled and rolled in the industry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and it took 20 years to become famous and become a relatively well-known art broker.
"Naturally, it's a thumbs up."
At this time, Pi Qiushi smiled and said: "After all, not everyone has the ability to kill this knife." ”
As for the so-called killing of a knife, it is really not a bad comment, it is a good reputation anyway. It is intended to praise Sha Qingfeng's vicious eyes, and his ability to bargain is clever, bargaining is a knife, and a knife is impartial, which just hits the bottom line of the seller's heart. Over time, the name of killing a knife came out like this.
"I don't think it's a compliment, but I'm revealing my bottom line." Sha Qingfeng smiled, and also looked at Wang Guan curiously: "The little brother is a peer in the capital?" Get closer to ...... in the future."
Sha Qingfeng also said this for the sake of Pi Qiushi's face, otherwise, considering Wang Guan's age, it is estimated that he would not be so polite if he was directly regarded as an apprentice who had just entered the industry.
From here, you can also see the difference between having connections and not having connections, and it is naturally easier to integrate into the circle when someone introduces it. Don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, for friends and friends, under normal circumstances, there are two or three points of goodwill, even if you are ignorant of life, you can chat a few words, and then you will be born again, and you will be familiar with it twice......
Just like now, even if he was surprised and begged how to bring a young man over, Sha Qingfeng was silent on the surface, but warmly beckoned Wang Guan to sit down and asked the beautiful girl to serve tea.
"Thank you." Wang Guan also has two points of restraint. In fact, restraint is the most normal. It is also the most suitable reaction. Otherwise, when you first arrive, you will be very arrogant, and you will have no worries, how to look at it and make people feel noisy.
Wang Guan took a slight sip of tea from his cup, and also took a closer look at the others.
At this time, a few other people seemed to be looking at something. Seeing this situation, Wang Guan was not surprised, after all, Pi Qiushi had already said it before coming over. These people don't meet very often, and when they do, it's either to discuss something or someone gets something good. So please come and watch and make a review.
Now it seems that this gathering belongs to the latter.
Wang Guan looked carefully and found that the things in the hands of several people were figurines.
The so-called figurines are puppets used for burials in ancient tombs. It began to appear in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it was used to replace the burial of the living, which is also a kind of civilization progress.
The most famous figurines in China are, of course, life-size terracotta warriors and horses excavated from the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. However, the figurines that everyone is watching now are relatively small, and according to Wang Guan's visual inspection, they feel a little like Han figurines.
Compared to life-size Qin figurines. The Han figurines are obviously much smaller, and even the largest Han figurines are only one-third the size of the Qin figurines. The reason for this is nothing more than the problem of national strength and customs.
You must know after the fall of the Qin Dynasty. After several years of tragic Chu-Han wars for hegemony, it was Liu Bang who won in the end. Despite the establishment of a Han dynasty, the early economy was so sluggish that even the emperor could not find four horses of the same coat color to drive for him. Officials can only travel in slow ox carts, and the poverty of ordinary people can be imagined.
If the national strength is not good, to put it bluntly, there is no money. Even when he was alive, he couldn't be wide, let alone after he died, the specifications and shapes of the funeral goods were naturally greatly reduced. Even in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national strength was prosperous, but after all, the rules had been set, and it was not easy to change them, so it continued.
"Who got these things?"
At the same time, Pi Qiushi asked curiously: "Looking at the appearance, it should be a rap figurine of the Han Dynasty." ”
Rap figurines belong to a kind of dance and acrobatic figurines.
In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the society and politics were stable, the economy was revived and developed steadily, the people's living standards began to improve, and the money in hand naturally became richer. As we all know, if the problem of food and clothing is solved, then simple material enjoyment can no longer meet the people's living needs.
At this time, the world paid more attention to spiritual enjoyment, and singing, dancing, vocal and acrobatic operas naturally came into being.
Speaking of the prevalence of opera music and dance, it actually has something to do with Liu Bang. After all, as we all know, Liu Bang came from an ordinary background, and even if he later became an emperor, he preferred folk dance and music.
There is also a clear record in the historical records that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, returned to his hometown to feast with his father and fellow villagers until the wine was hot, and when the wine was hot, he danced and sang the song of the great wind. That is, from him, folk dance music replaced the aristocratic vocal music of the pre-Qin period and became popular, which laid the foundation for the emergence of the later Han Yuefu.
Not only Liu Bang, but also those founding heroes, there are not a few good backgrounds, which confirms Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's words that the prince and prince will Xiangning have a kind of care, so the hobbies are naturally the same, and they all like lively and lively dance music, so all kinds of rap figurines and acrobatic figurines naturally began to appear on the funeral items.
That is to say, relatively common warrior figurines, servant figurines, rap figurines are simply a small freshness among all kinds of terracotta figurines, and they have more collection value.
"Old Meng Tao came back."
At this time, Sha Qingfeng said with a smile: "His luck is good, but he just went out, and he found these things on the stall of an antique market, and he took them down if he felt good." ”
"How I didn't have such luck."
Pi Qiushi looked envious, and when he greeted, someone naturally handed over the figurines in his hand.
Wang Guan also looked at the side, only to see that the figurines should be made of pottery, the shape is more exaggerated, the hands are open up and down to make a support, and the waist is slightly bent as if it is rotating and dancing, giving people a strong sense of movement.
After looking at it for a moment, Wang Guan said thoughtfully: "This is the Han figurines unearthed in Shuchuan." ”
"How?" Sha Qingfeng asked with a smile, and there was no surprise. After all, Pi Qiu dared to bring people over, so Wang Guan must have some level, otherwise he would be embarrassed to bring it over and be embarrassed.
"In the Han Dynasty, especially in the middle of the Han Dynasty, Shuchuan already had the prototype of the country of abundance, and the economy was very prosperous and developed, otherwise there would not be a rich man like Zhuo Wangsun." Wang Guan smiled and said: "Both the gentry and the common people are relatively wealthy, so the terracotta figurines made generally have a joyful look. ”
This demeanor is very subtle, like an innocent child, simple, innocent, carefree. Even if it has been buried for thousands of years, the surface of the terracotta figurines is somewhat weathered and blurred, but between the exaggerated eyebrows, the smile is frozen in a moment, and the demeanor and charm are very vivid, which makes people love it at a glance. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Guanshun pointed to a piece of white rust on the terracotta figurines in Pi Qiushi's hand, first touched it slightly, rubbed the powder, and then analyzed: "This should be the terracotta figurines unearthed from the cliff tomb, the surface is stained with rock cliff magma, the rust is very firm, and it can be preliminarily judged that this is genuine." ”
"You've got good eyesight." Sha Qingfeng approvingly: "Specializing in this? ”
"Almost." Wang Guan said with a smile, not relying on ability to cheat, from the perspective of professionalism, ceramic identification is his strength, as for the rest are general, probably just a little general.
"No wonder." Sha Qingfeng was relieved and said with a smile: "Not bad......"
"Not bad, definitely better than you." Pi Qiushi smiled and said: "Believe it or not, in real comparison, my brother's eyesight is at least a few streets away from you." ”
"Nonsense, believe, how can I not believe it." Sha Qingfeng rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not playing this, why don't you believe it." ”
At the same time, someone next to him participated and said with a smile: "That's it, Lao Sha specializes in drinking foreign ink, and he can't play with us." If you talk to him about domestic antiques, you might as well invite him to a cup of coffee. ”
"What, one by one, I'm here." Sha Qingfeng said angrily: "I didn't provoke you. ”
"You didn't provoke us, but we're jealous." Someone next to him smiled: "I took a big order without making a sound, and I can't say anything if I don't invite guests." ”
"That's it, it's ......" There was no lack of envy on the faces of the others.
"Okay, okay, I'll please, I'll please." Sha Qingfeng said boldly: "I paid for the tea." ”
In an instant, a burst of boos rang out, and everyone's faces showed a look of contempt, how much can it cost to drink tea in the clubhouse? And it is signed directly, and it will be settled every once in a while. So when he heard this, someone immediately shook his head and sighed: "Stingy, too stingy, even more stingy than an iron rooster, it can be called a hair." ”
"So what do you want?" Sha Qingfeng spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and said with a helpless expression: "Everyone is out to beg for a living, and it's not easy to eat." Even if your peers are enemies, you can give you a way to live. ”
"Don't pretend to be pitiful, that's what we should say." Naturally, the others were condemned again.
Taking this opportunity, Wang Guan also whispered to Pi Qiushi to inquire about the reason.
Under Pi Qiushi's explanation, Wang Guan understood what was going on. The so-called drinking foreign ink refers to Sha Qingfeng's expert in Western oil painting.
Of course, this in itself is not a strange thing, after all, Hong Kong is a place where it is easier to accept Western art forms. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, learning Western oil painting is not only simple, but also more practical. Anyway, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Sha Qingfeng is a model of success.
However, what really makes people envious and jealous is naturally not Sha Qingfeng's ability to appreciate Western oil paintings, but that not long ago, with his very keen sense of smell, he quietly signed a consignment contract with a great painter in the United States for some works.
This kind of thing is certainly not uncommon in the market, and almost every well-connected and capable art dealer has a similar contract on hand, but it is worth mentioning that the great painter died shortly after the contract was signed.
Everyone knows that this is the biggest iron law in the art market, even if an unknown painter dies, his works have a small appreciation, not to mention the death of a famous painter, the price of his works will definitely increase several times. In this case, it is no wonder that everyone is so envious of Sha Qingfeng...... (To be continued.) )
