Chapter 1138: A Thangka
Tang Yi knew that the fat-headed and big-eared man was going to be unlucky, but he had no choice but to smile helplessly at White, "My friend is kind-hearted, maybe he wants to comfort him." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as the words fell, the fat-headed and big-eared man suddenly stood up with a "whoop", left the round table, and rushed to a middle-aged lady with blond hair and blue eyes standing next to the adjacent table. The lady was wearing a long dress and was clinking glasses with a gentlemanly man next to her.
The fat-headed and big-eared man rushed behind the lady, lifted the lady's skirt, and then violently ripped off the stockings, put a fat face on someone's ass, and gnawed on it!
It was so sudden, the middle-aged lady screamed and began to pull back desperately, tugging at her skirt.
The man standing next to him was almost stupid, this kind of charity auction, the people who came were either rich or expensive, how could such a perverted pig head three come out?
The fat-headed, big-eared man became more and more frenzied, and then pounced on it and grabbed the middle-aged lady's breasts.
The man next to the middle-aged lady came to his senses completely at this time, grabbed the hair of the fat-headed and big-eared man, and kicked him on the crook of his knee at the same time! It can be regarded as separating him from the middle-aged lady.
The middle-aged lady opened her mouth wide and looked frightened, still screaming from time to time. The fat-headed, big-eared man was lying on the ground, his hands still scratching. The man couldn't care about it anymore, shouting at the security guard, and kicking him a few more times.
When the man who came with the fat-headed and big-eared man rushed to the side, the fat-headed and big-eared man had already been kicked and his nose was blue and his face was swollen. At this time, he was helped up, the man who came with him shook his shoulders violently, the fat-headed and big-eared man seemed to be normal all of a sudden, he seemed to be blinded by everything he had just done, facing the man who came with him, his mouth suddenly spoke in Chinese.
The onlookers had no idea what he was saying, and they cast disgusted and contemptuous glances.
Four strong security guards came over and quickly controlled the fat-headed, big-eared man, and the man who came with him was also caught on the left and right. At this time, someone had already called the police.
This intermission suddenly became a mess. Because the fat-headed and big-eared man just spoke a word in Chinese, this identity was recognized, and the onlookers talked about it.
"How can a man in the country be like this? That lady was scared crazy! ”
"The kind of films in the Wa Kingdom are very perverted, and it seems that people are indeed perverted."
"Savage and perverted scum!"
"Come on, police, take him away, it's disgusting to look at."
Wen Jia picked up the wine glass at this time and took a sip of wine gently, "The effect is good, but the time is a little shorter!" ”
Tang Yi glanced at him and said with a wry smile, "Everyone is satisfied now, right?" ”
The police soon came, and the fat-headed, big-eared man and the man who came with him were escorted away by the police, and the middle-aged lady and the man next to her also followed.
"If this is an attempted prosecution in a public place, some of these Japanese people will suffer." White also took a sip of his wine glass, and at the same time glanced at Wen Jia intentionally or unintentionally. He naturally feels that this matter has something to do with Wen Jia now, just now he also said that Wen Jia "brought humiliation on himself", now he understands, this friend of Tang Yi is by no means an ordinary person, and his methods can't be understood by himself.
At the same time, he also sighed, it was so wise to approach Tang Yi, not only did he have superb eyesight, he helped himself a lot this time, but there was no shortage of such unfathomable characters around him.
"The Men of the Japanese Kingdom Charity Auction Intended to QJ British Noble Women." Wen Jia smiled, "This, I don't know if it will not be on the headline of a certain page of The Times tomorrow?" In the hotel where the two of them were staying, the Times was read free of charge every day.
Tang Yi almost couldn't help laughing, but this was not a good thing after all, so he held back.
The auction was postponed. As a result, the organizers simply announced that the auction would continue in the afternoon after lunch.
Tang Yi didn't leave, because he found another thing from the atlas, and the starting price of this thing was not very high, only 20,000 pounds.
This is a thangka.
Thangka is a Tibetan transliteration, and some people translate it as Tangga, Tangka. To put it simply, thangkas are scroll paintings painted on canvas, which are more complicated to draw and frame. Thangkas have a strong religious color, and most of the thangkas handed down are Tibetan Buddhism and their own works.
Thangka appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it really reached its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties. At this time, a large number of genres appeared, and for art, there were many genres of a certain category, which of course was a manifestation of prosperity. Ten years ago, Thangka was listed as an intangible cultural heritage in China. Now, the market price of contemporary fine thangka works is not cheap.
Thangka painting is more obviously formatted, generally drawing the main figure in the middle, and then surrounding the main figure, covering the scene and other figures.
To make a thangka, it takes about half a year to make a short one, and if it is long, it may take more than ten years. Moreover, the traditional thangka process, just the selection of pigments is very particular, there are too many precious materials, gold and silver, pearl agate, coral turquoise and so on.
It is clear that thangkas were originally used as religious offerings, but over the years they have moved into the realm of art collecting. In the beginning, the collection of thangkas was relatively niche and the market price was not very high, but later, because of the unique cultural and artistic value and complex craftsmanship, it began to heat up.
Among them, the Ming and Qing Thangka were sought after by the capital market because of their artistic and antique characteristics, and their prices soared sharply.
Just two years ago, a Ming Dynasty Yongle imperial red Yan Mo enemy embroidered thangka was auctioned for more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars! At that time, it set a new record for high prices.
Of course, not all thangkas are so expensive. Works of art always have particularities, and the hand-me-down thangkas of the Ming Dynasty are too rare, and this one is the best in the early Ming Dynasty, so this price appeared.
In the Qing Dynasty, most of the auction prices of some hand-me-down thangkas in the Qing Dynasty were tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and millions were not much.
The thangka that Tang Yi saw in the auction catalogue was a four-armed Guanyin thangka, and the time marked on the auction catalogue was: mid-19th century. That can be regarded as the late Qing Dynasty.
This thangka is not very large. The central main deity is naturally the four-armed Guanyin. At the top of the picture, there are five Buddhas; On the left and right below, there are two Bodhisattvas, and at the bottom, there are Vajrayogini, Daikokuten, and Green Tara.
Tang Yi's understanding of Buddhism cannot be regarded as very profound, so he only looks at it roughly, there are many Buddha statues, and some cannot be completely determined. From the atlas, there are no traces of pigment composition and history. However, from the composition and painting style, he felt that this thangka did not seem to be from the late Qing Dynasty.
Originally, because of his personal interests and ideas, Tang Yi did not plan to collect thangkas. However, if it is really not from the late Qing Dynasty, but from the Ming Dynasty, the value is different! Such an opportunity is in front of us, of course, we can't let it go!
