Chapter 88: Test Me Again?

"This?"

Wu Tianyuan came to Hu Jianmin's house this afternoon, and the two of them went directly to the study on the third floor to chat, as soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In an area of nearly 200 square meters, pure Chinese decoration, there are a lot of calligraphy calligraphy and ink treasures on the wall, Ming-style furniture of a water, and a huge Huanghuali large bookcase in the middle, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, the overall design is simple and generous, as if entering the study of the ancient literati.

"So? Not bad! I don't want ordinary people to come here, you kid is a big expert, said? Hu Jianmin was very proud when he saw Wu Tianyuan's expression, this study has taken a lot of time and energy to decorate, and now he has to test this junior with superb eyesight.

"I actually like wooden antiques, huanghuali, red sandalwood, mahogany are very charming, there is spirituality to play with pulp, slowly there is popularity, endless fun, and after a while, I will also change a set of Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture refreshing." Wu Tianyuan looked at the furniture in the room with some envy.

"I'll test your eyesight again, some of the Ming and Qing dynasties here are old, the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and some of them are 100% restored by the best craftsmen according to the map, the material must be fine, even the pulp and the old color are almost the same, can you see if you can distinguish the old from the new?" Hu Jianmin heard Wu Tianyuan say that he actually liked furniture, and suddenly said on a whim.

"It's very difficult, I'll try!"

Wu Tianyuan looked around, and there were three pairs of Huanghuali Ming-style circle chairs! There are also two yellow pear strip cases, three large cabinets of red sandalwood, and four small coffee tables. All styles are standard Ming and Qing dynasties, both pulp and color are antique, it is difficult to judge the new and old.

"It is worthy of a lot of money to find a skilled craftsman for private customization! Completely in accordance with Wang Shixiang's Ming style furniture appreciation 100% imitation, plus there is genuine evidence, with my current eyesight can not see the old and the new! But alas, I have the special move of the ability, hehe! ”

Wu Tianyuan said secretly in his heart, but his face was extremely strict, carefully studied the furniture up and down, and read it all for more than half an hour, in fact, he knew the result after listening to it once, but the opportunity was rare, the first time he saw such a full set of Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture, he naturally couldn't put it down.

"How? Let's talk about it? It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, several professional wood connoisseurs haven't said all of them right! These treasures cost me a lot of thought, needless to say the old, even if it is a new imitation, it is also made of the best materials and the best work, which can be said to be built at any cost. Hu Jianmin looked at Wu Tianyuan with interest, and really wanted to see how high his eyesight was?

"Then I'll forgive my class for getting an axe, the Huanghuali case and the ring chair you are using now are the standard Su Zuo in the late Qing Dynasty! And the remaining pair is in the middle of the Republic of China, and the pair over there and that case should be imitated by you. As for the red sandalwood cabinet, the one in the middle is the late Qing Dynasty, the others are new imitations, and the rest of the coffee table small pieces are new imitations! Wu Tianyuan pondered for a moment and slowly said his results.

"You!" Hu Jianmin was taken aback after hearing this, stood up suddenly, and said in surprise: "All right!" How do you kid see that? ”

"This? In fact, purely from the craftsmanship and details, the new and old imitations are seamless, without a single flaw, I just rely on feelings! I have a wonderful feeling about old objects, and I can't explain it myself! Wu Tianyuan scratched his head and replied half-truthfully.

"It is said that extraordinary people must be extraordinary, and today I have seen it! In fact, I often have that kind of intuition, and every time I make a heavy decision, I feel as if there is a providence in charge, and every time I can turn evil into good fortune, I understand this feeling. Hu Jianmin looked at Wu Tianyuan again, and was deeply touched and agreed.

"This is not an uncommon thing, the top people in every industry have their own talents, I think God is borrowing my hands, so that the treasures buried in the world can be discovered, so that more people can appreciate the cultural heritage left by the ancient sages." Wu Tianyuan wrote lightly.

Hu Jianmin nodded with satisfaction, pulled Wu Tianyuan to the wall, and began to introduce various calligraphy and ink treasures.

"I've loved calligraphy since I was young, and I write it myself, and here is a collection of calligraphy works that I admire in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and modern times. In modern times, I only like two people, one is the word of the great leader, I like his mind of the world the most, and the next pen is majestic and hearty, which is difficult for ordinary people to match! ”

The other is Wu Changshuo, he is known as the "poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal" four unique, but I think his calligraphy and seal carving skills far exceed others, the calligraphy into the way of seal carving, full of gold and stone, into the wood three points, the temperament is unique, the last time I photographed your seal set is also because I like. Hu Jianmin first walked to the far left and pointed to the two works to introduce.

"These are calligraphy and ink treasures of the Qing Dynasty, namely Zheng Banqiao, Liu Yong, Ji Xiaolan, and the great traitor and Shen! I think the most representative of the Qing Dynasty is these four people, they have all served the imperial court, and they are very knowledgeable, so the characters are not only popular, but also have a sense of concern for the safety of the world. ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded secretly, Hu Jianmin has his own understanding, although the cost is huge, but he really likes its connotation, not for the purpose of investment appreciation, which makes him respect it very much.

"But recently I found a shortcut to a better collection of celebrity calligraphy, look at this!" Hu Jianmin suddenly smiled mysteriously, turned around and took out a large scroll, and motioned for Wu Tianyuan to help open it.

"This is Lu Can's picture of taking pictures of mountains and playing pine!" Wu Tianyuan was surprised.

In 2013, Poly Autumn auctioned this Lu Can's "Painting Mountains and Playing Pine Scrolls for Mu Dazhan" started at 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and finally fell under the hammer for 18.5 million Hong Kong dollars. There was a fierce competition between telephone entrustment and buyers in the venue, and the whole process went through 37 bidding.

"Playing with Pine in the Mountain" is a portrait painted by the Qing Dynasty painter Lu Can for the book master Mu Dazhan, followed by 80 scholars singing poems and inscriptions, and connoisseurs inscribed in three places. The length of the scroll is 43cm, the length of the painting heart is 141cm, the length of the inscription is 1870cm, and the inscription is more than 10,000 words of poetry. The number of people who participated in the inscription of the long scroll, the great influence, and the long time span are few people in history who can match it.

"Eyesight! I found someone to take a picture of it, and I took a fancy to the calligraphy of 80 famous people at the time, many of whom were famous people. To be able to collect so many calligraphy boutiques at once, or to inherit the authentic works in an orderly manner, plus a commission of 23 million, I feel that it is worth the money, such a rare sight! Hu Jianmin was proud.

"You are worthy of being a big businessman, and your vision is really unique! This rare collection of celebrities is not only exquisitely written, but also can especially express the communication circle and human context of the literati at that time, and has high research value. It is also of historical significance for sorting out the art genres of that era, and this price is not expensive! Wu Tianyuan felt that this calligraphy and painting was good, the price was not high at that time, and the potential for appreciation in the future was huge.

"Heroes see the same thing! In the future, I will pay more attention to this kind of long-term promotion collection, in fact, instead of spending a high price to receive that kind of sketch, it is better to buy this kind of promotion in one step. The level of mutual support between literati is generally not bad, or it is not easy to be laughed at by others, so they are all works of heart, and they are definitely collectible. Hu Jianmin concluded.

"When it comes to calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang is undoubtedly the first to learn calligraphy, and his words must be copied one of the compulsory ones. My sketch, which is less than one square foot, is his real handiwork, which was auctioned back from Hong Kong Jiashide more than ten years ago, and is one of the most important collections! Hu Jianmin said this, his eyebrows fluttered, and his joy was overflowing.

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly stepped forward, touched it with his hand, absorbed the energy, and confirmed that it was genuine. Dong Qichang is good at painting landscapes, learning from Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, Huang Gongwang, and Ni Zhan, and his brushwork is delicate and neutral, quiet and sparse. With the Buddhist Zen Buddhism metaphor painting, advocating the theory of "North and South Sects", he is an outstanding representative of the "Huating School of Painting", and has the beauty of "Yan Gu Zhao Zi", and his painting and painting theory have a great influence on the painting world in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

This is a calligraphy of Mi Wanzhong, who is as famous as Dong Qichang, and Wan Zhong has never released the scroll all his life and is very knowledgeable. He is especially good at calligraphy and painting, and his works are elegant, imposing, smooth and famous. At that time, Dong Qichang of Huating, Xing Dong of Linfu, and Zhang Ruitu of Jinjiang were equally famous, and they were called South Dong and North Rice. It is also my most beloved collection, and at that time, there were not many people who paid attention to it at the Hong Kong auction, so it was sold at the basic reserve price, and his original works have not been seen in circulation in recent years. ”

"I've always wanted to collect the calligraphy of the four major families of the Ming Dynasty, and now I'm just sending Xing Dong and Zhang Ruitu! But there has never been fate. Hey, I hope I can do it in my lifetime, right? Hu Jianmin said a little lowly.

Wu Tianyuan nodded, didn't say anything, collecting this kind of thing is only a necessary condition, in the past, you had to have the eye to distinguish the real from the fake, but now there are well-known auction houses, as long as you have money, you can basically buy what you like. However, the real treasure still depends on fate, not something that can be solved with money!

"You called today and said you came to me, what's the matter?"

Wu Tianyuan was satisfied with absorbing the energy of the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting collected by Hu Jianmin, and suddenly remembered the main purpose of today, and took out the Guanghan Xingdou Seal Spectrum for him to see.

"Qing Qianlong Guanghan Star Dou?"
