"Yes, they all say that the plaything is demoralized, but his old man is an accident, and even Mr. Startup praises him as a plaything! Not to mention anything else, his research on Ming-style furniture alone can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented. Comprehensively and systematically sorted out the sources and craftsmanship of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, established its appreciation and aesthetic standards, and is now collected and enshrined as the Bible. For the same piece of furniture, the price can be several times worse than that of the spectrum, and that spectrum is set by Wang Shixiang. Wu Shixiang was convinced.

"Yes, Wang Shixiang was born in a famous family, Gaozu was an official to the Ministry of Industry, Bozu was the champion of the Guangxu period, his father was the secretary general of the Beiyang Government ************, but Wang Shixiang's family background is not the new upstart of the Republic of China, so although there are no hidden worries in life, but the collection of precious cultural relics is not rich. He once said: Disdain is not worth much, more than 10 yuan is played by Zhu Jiajun, and below 10 yuan I play. This is the true meaning of collecting, money is not the only measure of art! Wang Jiansen was deeply touched.

"Wang Lao really embodies the true meaning of antiques, focusing on a play word! From Ming and Qing dynasty furniture to pigeons and crickets, he can play a doorway. There are more than a dozen professional books alone, and many of them are textbook-like classics, which is really admirable. There has only been one such genius in a hundred years, right? Wu Shixiang admired.

"That's what I admire! I just started collecting more than ten years ago, many people around me collect porcelain and calligraphy and paintings, I also know that porcelain is good, but I always feel that there is something missing, and then I know the deeds of Wang Shixiang, and suddenly understand that antiques should bring happiness and spiritual enjoyment to people is the right way! So I like the study room all of a sudden, I have always liked calligraphy, the study room is not only a literati elegance, but also a daily necessary practical tool, writing in the study every day, playing with them in my spare time, is my greatest relaxation. Wang Jiansen said with a look of intoxication.

Wu Shixiang looked at the furniture in the house and envied: "I actually like wooden antiques the most, huanghuali, red sandalwood, and mahogany are all very charming. But I don't have the ability yet, I can't make a room of Ming and Qing furniture like you, uncle. ”

Wang Jiansen saw Wu Shixiang's envious face, he was very happy, and laughed: "You kid work slowly, maybe I will buy furniture from you in a few years!" ”

Wang Jiansen nodded with satisfaction, one of the great pleasures of collecting is to meet bosom friends, and it is interesting for players to appreciate together, pulling Wu Shixiang to the wall and beginning 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 leader's words, 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 one 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 seal carving road, full of gold and stone, into the wood three points, the temperament is unique. ”

"I have a few of his seals, all of which came back from Japan, he was named the first person to carve seals in Japan, and most of his works were collected by Japan at high prices in the nineties, until the recent economic downturn in their country, which gradually flowed back to the domestic market." Wang Jiansen 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. Every time I read it, I have a different understanding and perception, and by the way, I also want a lot of Zeng Guofan's handwritten family letters, and you can know the square inch between the bits and pieces. ”

Wu Shixiang nodded secretly, Wang Jiansen 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. The first threshold of collection is to establish their own collection system, antiques are broad and profound, countless, no matter how rich people are, it is impossible to collect them all.

So choose the path that suits you best, whether it's porcelain, calligraphy and painting, or jade. The process of constantly searching for the false and preserving the true is to understand oneself, and after truly knowing one's preferences, the key to establishing a unique system is to measure the level of collectors.

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

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

"Setshan" is Nanjing Qixia Mountain, called "the first Jinling Mingxiu Mountain" by the Qianlong Emperor, the mountain is densely wooded, the stone is handsome, it is an excellent place to swim, it is deeply respected by the literati and elegant guests, Mu Dazhan also often travels here.

"Eyesight! I asked someone to take a picture of it, and I liked 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! Wang Jiansen 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 Shixiang felt that this calligraphy and painting was good, and the price at that time was relatively in place, and there was great potential for appreciation in the future.

"Heroes see the same thing! Haha, 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. Wang Jiansen concluded.

"When it comes to calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt that Dong Qichang is the first to learn calligraphy, and his words must be copied and one of the compulsory ones! My sketch, which is less than a square foot, is his real work, which was auctioned back from Christie's Hong Kong more than ten years ago, and is one of the most important collections. Wang Jiansen said this, his eyebrows fluttering, and his joy was overflowing.

Wu Shixiang hurriedly stepped forward and carefully appreciated, Dong Qichang was good at painting landscapes, learning from Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, Huang Gongwang, Ni Zhan, the brush is delicate and neutral, quiet and sparse, and his painting and painting theory had 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 been no fate, hey! I hope I can do it in my lifetime, right? Wang Jiansen said a little lowly.

Wu Shixiang nodded, didn't say anything, collecting this kind of thing is only one of the necessary conditions, in the past, you had to have the eye to distinguish the true 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!

"Boy, the two of us have a lot of fate, we both like Mr. Wang Shixiang, although you are an expert in literary toys, but you know a little bit about antiques. Have time to walk around the auction with me and open your eyes! ”

Lin Yuning watched the two of them happily come down from upstairs, and Wang Jiansen patted Wang Shixiang on the shoulder and said affectionately. This kid has a lot of personality, and even his husband is quite optimistic about him, not bad.

Wu Shixiang came out of Wang's house at nine o'clock and made an appointment to come back when he was free. This trip was not in vain, not to mention that I met Wang Jiansen, the boss of Wanda, and also saw the demeanor of a real collector. In the future, I will also find a suitable collection category, establish a complete system, persevere, and one day become a big collector.
