Didn't keep everyone waiting---

It was just a cup of tea, and I saw that Young Master Chen hurriedly came in, as if he was holding something in his hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Old Lady Chen took the thing in her hand, stroked it a few times with her hand, seemed a little reluctant, and then said, "Let's open it for everyone to see." ”

Chen Tianlang said: "Yes---" So he held the thing to everyone.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a letter.

It's not gold, it's not porcelain, it's jade, it's books?

Although everyone's anticipation has cooled down slightly, after all, the collection of ancient books is not as hot as gold and stone, and porcelain, but everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time, and they are still very curious about what kind of ancient books are contained in this letter?

Young Master Chen didn't hesitate, he directly opened the letter, and then presented an ancient book in front of people.

Antique, bookish and elegant.

The curious people looked at it, only to see that the ancient book turned out to be a rare Qing Dynasty carved ancient book "Song Huizong Imperial Moral Scripture Interpretation".

Looking at the plaque of this ancient book, it is a carved copy of "Eryouzhai". This "Eryouzhai" is very famous in the engraving workshop, you know, the great bibliophile Ye Dehui said in his book "Shulin Qinghua" that the carved books of the past dynasties can be divided into "official carving", "workshop carving", and "private carving"; And this "Niyouzhai" is the most famous workshop engraving firm in Kyoto, which was famous in the Qing Dynasty. If you are a collector of ancient books, there is no one who does not know this name.

Since everyone is a player, and they all bring the appraisers of the auction house, there is no doubt that when appreciating it, they can't help but ask the appraisers to "appraise" the collection and express their opinions or something.

Mrs. Chen also said: "This is my family's ancestral ancient book, passed down from the Qing Dynasty for almost 300 years, my ancestor once said, this ancient book is priceless, not easy to sell, I have not figured it out for many years, but I don't know where this ancient book is precious...... You are all experts, please help identify it. ”

There was no doubt that this was an opportunity to put their talents to work, so the appraisers who were invited were all eager to give it a try.

Among them, Mr. Wang Jinshui, the appraiser of Taiwan Dingquan Company, spoke first: "Then I will be ugly first." Well, I don't know much about ancient books, but I also know that the Song and Yuan engravings are not available now, but there are still a lot of Ming and Qing engravings. Especially the Qing carving, the high value is undoubtedly the palace and the official book, but there are also many good things like this kind of carving. This "Interpretation of the Imperial Moral Scriptures of Song Huizong" is one of them. ”

"I look at the paper, lettering, and overall quality of this ancient book, I think it belongs to the kind of private customization, to put it bluntly, it was in the Qing Dynasty, someone specifically found this Eryouzhai, told him, carve me a book like this, so the pen, ink and paper used are very high-end. Especially this ink fragrance, it is obviously the Hui ink milled out of the high-grade inkstone. Look at this paper again, but it is also as white as cicada wings, and the peach blossoms are blooming on the civilized paper. As we all know, this kind of paper was popular in the Ming Dynasty, as a tribute paper is the exclusive enjoyment of the imperial court, because of the unique practice, it has now been lost; The most common period of Kaihua paper used in the Qing Dynasty was the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. And this kind of civilized paper is not something that ordinary people can afford, and it is often used by those who are large households to engrave Buddhist scriptures. ”

I have to say that although Mr. Wang, as a senior appraiser of Dingquan Company, is suspected of deliberately selling these words, the evaluation is also pertinent, especially the paper belongs to the rare "civilized paper", which can be regarded as making people suddenly open, no wonder this paper looks different from ordinary ancient books, as thin as cicada wings, like cotton paper and like rice paper, but it is a legendary tribute --- "civilized paper".

Not to be outdone, Mr. Sun Deli, an appraiser from the top company of Taiwan's three major auction companies, stood up and said with a smile: "What Lao Wang said is good, but I still have to add one point. Why was this paper lost? Because Kaihua County, Zhejiang, as the production area, became an important battlefield between the Qing government and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in western Zhejiang during the reign of Xianfeng Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, which led to the 'paper trough desertion and the exile of craftsmen'. In addition, there is another factor, which is the depletion of the core raw materials of papermaking. As far as I know, in addition to the basic raw material, this tribute paper must be supplemented with a wild plant skin, which makes the paper thin and tough. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the dried skin was sold for two pieces of ocean and one catty, and then quietly disappeared. Therefore, there is no more civilized paper in this world. The ancient books engraved on the paper of civilization have risen and become the fragrant and sweet spots in the collection of ancient books...... I don't know if what I'm saying is right or not? ”

Show!

Another one who stood up and flaunted.

However, these two appraisers kept spinning around the paper, but did not go deep into the point, like scratching the itch in their boots, did not quench their thirst, and did not explain how valuable this ancient book was.

You must know that for this ancient book, Mrs. Chen said it in advance, saying that it is ancestral and valuable.

Seeing that everyone was silent, as Christie's top appraiser, Mike Lee felt that he needed to stand up, but before he stood up, he also did one thing, that is, he made a provocative look at his competitor, Lin Yi, who had defeated him, that means, you see!

……

Mike Lee stepped forward, coughed first, and then said, "Both of you said it very well, but it doesn't seem to get to the substance, that is, what is the content of this book, and what is its value?" ”

After setting the tone, the great appraiser Mike Li said: "As we all know, Song Huizong's name is Zhao Ji, and he has been pampered since childhood. The classical masterpiece "Water Margin" has a wonderful description of this suave 'Duan Wang'. In fact, from a historical point of view, Song Huizong, as a merry and talented man, good at calligraphy and poetry, still has made a difference and achieved something compared to many court princes. It is a pity that he was confined to his own environment and could not personally experience the suffering of the people, so he sat in a position where he should not have been sitting with a lack of talent. Jingkang was captured by the Jin people at the end of the second year, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. ”

"Everything has a cause and must have an effect. The fate of Song Huizong can also be said to be the 'creation' of history, and it is also in line with the 'way of nature'. And myself, he has a "Royal Interpretation" of the "Tao Te Ching". First of all, as a generation of emperors, what Song Huizong forgot was precisely the way of the emperor. Looking at the full text of the "Imperial Solution", it is almost impossible to see a complete sentence of interpretation of politics, current situation, official governance, and people's livelihood. Even if there is, it is 'just talking about words', talking in generalities, without real chapters. Secondly, his words and deeds are inconsistent, and he loses his trust in the people, and eventually becomes the king of the country. Looking through the annals of history, the Song Huizong we see has no heart of 'love for the people' and 'contentment' at all. During his reign, he looted the people's fat and ointment, set up 'Huashi Gang', and built a famous garden, which was really extravagant, so that the smoke rose everywhere, and the country was no longer a country. Finally, as a devout Taoist, Song Huizong did not actually have 'enlightenment'. Song Hui Zongzheng and three years of edict to seek Taoism in the world, the following year to the Taoist rank of 26 Taoist officials, he himself asked the master to canonize him as the 'sect leader Taoist Emperor'. It can be seen that he is really a devout Taoist. However, what he indulged in Taoism was not a strategy for governing the country and benefiting the people. The lifelong pursuit is to live forever and become an immortal. ”

Therefore, this "Interpretation of the Imperial Moral Scriptures of Song Huizong" is actually a game of an emperor in order to gain fame and reputation, and the content has no merit. Therefore, in terms of research value...... Hehe, it's a big discount! ”

Although he didn't say it directly, the great appraiser Mike Li was telling everyone that in addition to the fact that this "Explanation of the Imperial Tao Te Ching of Song Huizong" is worth a little money on paper, it is older, and the engraving is finer, but the actual research value is not too great.

Old Mrs. Chen understood what these appraisers meant, and in a word--- people said that his ancestral treasure was worthless! So the old man's face was inevitably a little gloomy and ugly.

Chen Tianlang has always been very filial to his grandfather, and when he saw that his grandfather's face was not good, he scolded Mike Lee and others: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is our ancestral heirloom, is there any fake? ”

Mike Lee smiled unhurriedly and said: "Young Master Chen, i\'m-not-aimingat-any-one, businessis-business!Oh, I'm sorry, I like to speak English, which means that I don't target a certain person, I just talk about things--- according to the market value, like this Qing Dynasty Kangxi Dynasty Kaihua paper engraved "Song Huizong Imperial Tao Te Ching" can only be sold for 500,000 to 800,000 at most. As for the priceless price, that's a bit exaggerated, hehe......"

Looking at Mike Lee's smug face, Chen Tianlang was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't know how to refute this guy.

At this moment, a voice said: "In my opinion, this ancient book is definitely a treasure, and it is really priceless!" ”

Damn, at this time, there are still people who dare to sing against the three appraisers! Who, so bold?!

Everyone couldn't help but look at that person, but it was Lin Yi, who hadn't spoken much all the time and seemed to have no sense of existence!

"Is it him?" Mike Lee smiled, okay, you damn guy, you want to brush up on your presence, don't you? Well, I'll let you die without a place to bury! (To be continued.) )
