Chapter 34: Anonymous Ming Painting

"Guo Lao, then we will thank you first!" Less than no good airway, not very happy.

In fact, it is understandable that no matter who knows that there is a "bomb" hidden in a room of collectibles, even if they know that the "bomb" will not cause any harm to themselves, they must be unhappy.

But Guo Lao's approach has nothing to blame, and it is even very in line with the rules.

After all, the most basic quality of playing antiques is eyesight. If you "don't have long eyes" and "have eyes but no beads", then change your career as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed and deceived.

Qi Xiang knew this very well, so he didn't feel depressed, and after walking into the room, he began to observe carefully, but he couldn't lock on to the target. The main thing is that there are so many things that it is difficult to choose.

Less than yes, a pair of eyes rolled around, looked at it for a few minutes, and couldn't help scratching his head: "Qi Xiang, do you think it's better for us to grab something?" ”

"It's not good to decide......" Qi Xiang was also hesitating, and slowly analyzed: "However, in terms of market popularity, the most popular ones are undoubtedly porcelain and calligraphy and painting. ”

"Then don't think about it, just porcelain and calligraphy and painting." Xiao Xiao immediately made a decision: "I'll go to see porcelain, and you go to see calligraphy and painting." ”

Here, Xiao Xiao played a cautious eye, because there are more porcelain in the room, at least two large shelves, and there is only one row of calligraphy and paintings, and the number is very small.

This is also due to the texture of things that determine the quantity of porcelain, calligraphy and painting.

Relatively speaking, porcelain is relatively strong and durable, as long as it is not deliberately touched, it can generally be passed down for thousands of years. However, most of the calligraphy and painting are paper, and if they are not properly preserved, they are easily perishable and destroyed by the influence of the climate and environment.

Often, among the 10,000 volumes of calligraphy and painting, only one volume of calligraphy and painting can be handed down intact to modern times. This is also the reason why thousand-year-old paintings are highly sought after by people all over the world.

The law that scarcity is expensive, is correct. But on the other hand, if something is precious, the probability of counterfeiting will increase significantly. There are few calligraphy and paintings, and there are many fakes, all of which are combined, how likely is it that Guo Lao will take medicine?

So Xiao did not hesitate to choose porcelain. For this careful opportunity, Qi Xiang didn't care, and walked straight to a pile of calligraphy and paintings, browsing at will.

Scrolls of calligraphy and paintings, placed on the shelves in an orderly manner.

It can be seen that Guo Lao does not attach much importance to these paintings and calligraphy. If you really attach importance to these paintings and calligraphy, then they should be stored in a special box and drained of the air in the box to prevent moisture, corrosion, and moth.

Qi Xiang casually untied a scroll, and after a little look, he understood the reason.

With his ability to appreciate, he also thinks the drawings are good. Unfortunately, there is no seal on the picture, and there is no payment. In other words, this is an anonymous work.

Anonymous works, no matter how well they are painted, are not valuable.

Because calligraphy and painting pay more attention to famous masterpieces and celebrity effects.

Take the works of Ming Dynasty painters as an example, among the painters of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu is the most famous, so although his works are not the best among the Ming Dynasty painters, they are the most sold and the best.

The reason is nothing more than the influence of folklore and film and television dramas, which has made Tang Bohu a well-known figure for women and children. Even if he is an illiterate nouveau riche, he knows that there is a person like Tang Bohu, so when he is vassal, he naturally prefers to choose Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting......

The more people buy, the price will naturally go up.

So in the antique market, there is a very real rule, that is, fame equals price. Therefore, no matter how good the painting is, the price of the anonymous work will not go up.

Things are not valuable, and naturally there is no need to keep them carefully.

Qi Xiang shook his head slightly, tied the scroll in his hand and put it back, and continued to watch the next scroll.

Roll after roll, not only paintings, but also calligraphic banners.

Among these works, some of them must also have seals and styles, but Qi Xiang carefully identified them and found that most of these seals and styles were not famous, and he had never heard of them.

Maybe it's because of his lack of knowledge, but it can also be known from this that the most precious of these paintings and calligraphy is estimated to be the work of local small masters, and they can't be put on the big stage.

Qi Xiang picked and chosen, and soon saw the last scroll.

It was a scroll stuffed in the far corner of the shelf, and when he took it out, it brought up a cloud of dust, indicating that the scroll was not valued by Guo Lao, and it had been forgotten in the corner for a long time and had not been moved.

Qi Xiang reached out to the corner to take out the scroll. The thing was in his hand, but he hadn't opened it yet, and there was a trace of very obscure fluctuations, but he was stunned for a moment, a little dazed.

"Qi Xiang, have you found anything good?"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao came over with a plate and a smile: "Let me tell you, I have seen these paintings and calligraphy of Guo Lao...... That's just the average. Don't waste any more time, let's look for it on porcelain. ”

Less than a conscience, after picking something, don't forget to come over to remind it. I didn't say it before, mainly because I was afraid that Qi Xiang would fight with him, but now there is no competition, so I naturally have to talk about "righteousness".

Qi Xiang glanced at it, and saw that it was a blue and white plate smaller than his hand, with a restrained glaze, which looked good.

"What is this?" Qi Xiang asked, "When is the plate?" ”

"Look at ......" is less than turning the bottom of the plate, only to see that there is a blue and white circle foot at the bottom of the plate, and three words are written.

"Changle Hall!" When Qi Xiang saw it, he approved: "You have a good eye and have found something good." ”

"That's ......" is less than very proud.

The text on the bottom of the blue and white plate, that is the name of the hall. Generally speaking, the porcelain of the famous style belongs to the private custom, and the quality is better than that of ordinary porcelain.

As long as you can be sure that something is not a fake, then there is no need to worry about its poor value.

"I estimate that this should be a fine product of the late Qing Dynasty." Xiao Xiao speculated: "After all, it is a custom-made thing, this workmanship, this blue and white line, and this glazing technique are all more exquisite......"

"Uh-huh." Qi Xiang nodded perfunctorily, then calmed down, and carefully spread out the scroll in his hand.

"This painting ......" Xiao Xiao also leaned over to take a look, and then said in surprise: "I haven't seen this painting, Guo Laoxin collected it?" ”

The picture unfolded, and this is a vertical scroll.

Fifty centimeters wide and nearly one meter long, it is also considered a large size.

Qi Xiang stared, only to see that the paper of the picture was yellow, and there were obvious moth-eaten holes, which were very mottled and old, and the quality was not good. As for the content of the picture, it is an old man with large sleeves and a long robe and a high crown, sleeping on a stone on his side of his pillow and wrist.

The author of the picture has a very delicate pen, just a simple white sketch, and the appearance of the old man sleeping soundly is vividly portrayed. But what is regrettable is that this is also an anonymous work.

The whole picture scroll is unsealed, and there is no payment.

Speaking of which, for calligraphy and painting, printed articles are equivalent to modern people's ID cards. With an ID card, you can know exactly what a person's birth date and name are.

Painting and calligraphy is like this, with the signature and seal, it is possible to determine the specific age of calligraphy and painting, and who the author is.

But if there is nothing for an anonymous work, it is difficult to determine the date.

"Well, it's not good." Xiao Xiao saw it, and immediately shook his head: "Qi Xiang, you still have to give up." Although Guo Lao also collects calligraphy and paintings, he just plays casually and does not invest too much. ”

Qi Xiang turned a deaf ear, and after carefully studying the picture, he suddenly asked, "Have you chosen something?" ”

"Huh?" was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand and said, "It's chosen, it's this plate." ”

"Alright, let's go." Qi Xiang rolled up the picture and gestured: "Find Guo Lao to settle the bill." ”

"What?" Xiao Xiao was stunned, and immediately reacted, and was extremely surprised: "You want this painting?" ”

Qi Xiang smiled without saying a word, left the room briskly, and walked towards the living room. When they were picking up things, Guo Lao and Xiao Ding had already returned to the living room to entertain Hai Gongzi, who had returned from the transfer.

At this moment, Hai Gongzi held the incense Buddha and rubbed it gently, with a happy expression.

Guo Lao's eyes were full of reluctance, but his son was smiling brightly and smiling.

In this capitalist society, everything can be measured in money. As long as there is enough money, no matter how precious and loved things are, they will be handed over, and there is no so-called non-sale.

Besides, no matter how precious the incense Buddha is, it cannot be compared with family affection. For the sake of his son's lifelong event, no matter how distressed Guo Lao was, he could only watch things leave him.

Out of sight is clear, Guo Lao rolled his eyes and said with a forced smile: "Shopkeeper Qi, have you picked a good thing?" ”

"I've picked it up, it's this painting." Qi Xiang raised his hand to signal.

"Painting?" Guo Lao was stunned, and then smiled: "Which painting?" ”

"This ......" Qi Xiang handed over the scroll.

Guo Lao took it casually, opened the book and glanced at it, and was also a little surprised: "Shopkeeper Qi, are you sure it's this one?" ”

"Yes, this is it." Qi Xiang is very sure.

"Uh......" Guo Lao hesitated: "Shopkeeper Qi, in fact, you don't have to give me face, you can change another painting." ”

Guo Lao suspected that Qi Xiang deliberately took this worthless painting because he wanted to sell his favor.

In fact, Xiao Xiao also thinks so, secretly praising Qi Xiang for being smart. Favors, favors, and contacts, and acquaintances. If you are familiar, it means that you have a relationship, and after you have a relationship, are you afraid that you won't be able to get good things in the future?

"This calculation is worthy of being the guy with the most potential to become a wolf...... Xiao Xiao sighed, and hurriedly smiled: "Guo Lao, since he fell in love with this painting, it means that he really likes it." It's hard to buy a good heart, so you can simply fulfill him. ”

"That's right." Qi Xiang agreed: "Old Guo, you give me a price, and I will take the things." ”

“…… That's fine, too! Guo Lao thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Then let's make friends and keep in touch more in the future." ”

While speaking, Guo Lao stretched out a finger and shook it, and said very implicitly: "Actually, this painting is not bad, although it is an anonymous work, but it is something from the Ming Dynasty, so it is also worth a few dollars, at least this number ......."

Tomorrow is the time to change the list, and I really need everyone's support, ask for collections, and ask for recommendation votes.
