When Fang Yong came to the site of the treasure appraisal activity, he did not alarm the staff on the field, but just stood quietly in a corner of the treasure appraisal site, as an ordinary tourist to watch the collections brought by the treasure connoisseurs.

Due to the previous publicity in place, it attracted many collectors from all over the country. After they make an online appointment through the official website of the expo, they can come to the expo site, receive the number plate from the staff, and bring their treasures to the experts and scholars invited by Fang Yong to appraise the treasures.

Today is the first day of the treasure appreciation activity, and there is an endless stream of collectors who come to visit and appreciate. Collectors who have successfully made an appointment online have received today's treasure number plate early, holding their beloved collections, looking forward to it, hoping that the collections in their hands can be affirmed by experts.

Not long after Fang Yong came here, it was the turn of a white-haired old man in his sixties to show off his collection. I saw him take out a bamboo pen holder from his bag, although the surface of this pen holder looks a little damaged, but the patterns carved on it are very delicate, and this pen holder still exudes a faint red mist. Needless to say, this pen holder must be an old object.

As one of today's treasure experts, Guo Zhiyi has a profound professional foundation and a high status in the identification of the four treasures of the study.

At this time, Guo Zhiyi was a little excited after seeing the pen holder that the old man took out, and his intuition of long-term professional appraisal made him feel that this pen holder was extraordinary.

The pen holder, as an important study aid, its position in the collection of the four treasures of the study is self-evident. Because of this, there are many materials for making pen holders, in addition to the stoneware, porcelain, wood, bamboo, lacquerware, as well as purple sand, crystal, jade, gilt and so on. In particular, the bamboo engraving pen holder adopts the techniques of carving, engraving, carving, etc., and the forms are diverse. Quaint and elegant.

Bamboo, known as the "gentleman" since ancient times, most of the ancient literati advocated the use of bamboo carving pen holders, because of its rich and diverse carving art style, high cultural taste, bamboo pen holders are much loved by literati and ink writers, and become a good collection.

Guo Zhiyi picked up the white gloves placed on the table and put them on his hands, gently picked up the pen holder, and observed it carefully.

This pen holder is carefully carved from a section of bamboo. The mouth and base of the pen holder are inlaid with mahogany, and the bottom edge is hollowed out to make three small feet.

Looking at the pen holder, it is cleverly engraved with landscapes and several groups of figures.

In the depths of the bamboo forest next to the rocks, there is an old man holding a book in his hand, as if he is thinking about the difficult questions in the book.

In another bamboo forest, there is a maid gently caressing the piano, as if playing beautiful music. On the side of the picture of the maid stroking the qin, there are two people, one of whom raises a glass and wants to drink wine. The other was sitting quietly listening to the beautiful sound of the harp.

On the other side of the pen holder, an old man is standing on a small bridge between the mountains and rocks, and behind him is a child with a shovel on his back. It seems to be collecting medicine in the mountains.

Throughout the pen holder, bamboo forests, mountain rocks, paths, bridges, and figures are connected with different carving and relief techniques. The carving is exquisite, the knife technique is concise, and it is very three-dimensional. It also shows the author's profound carving and artistic attainments.

Guo Zhiyi flipped it lightly in his hand and flipped the base of the pen holder up, and saw that the bottom was engraved with a small seal of "Zhu Sansong" in Yangwen.

When Guo Zhiyi saw this small seal, he was even more sure that this pen holder was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Subsequently, Guo Zhiyi asked several other experts beside him to take a look, although these experts did not specialize in the four treasures of the study, but the commonality of art made them also have a dabbling in the four treasures of the study. After watching it, they also agreed that it was Zhu Sansong's work.

"Sir, this pen holder of yours is a good collection. After being identified as genuine, it is the work of Zhu Sansong, a famous bamboo carver in the Ming Dynasty, you can collect it well! I will then issue you a certificate of authentication. Guo Zhiyi said after handing the pen holder in his hand to the old man.

As soon as the owner of the pen holder heard Guo Zhiyi's words, the tense nerves in his heart were also relaxed, and he smiled on his face, and kept saying thank you in his mouth. It's exciting to be able to have something in your collection identified as collectible.

Subsequently, after receiving the appraisal certificate issued by Guo Zhiyi, the old man happily left the treasure appraisal site from the special channel specially opened for collectors who came to appreciate treasures.

This passage was also considered by Fang Yong when preparing for the exposition, and the treasure that can be identified as genuine must be worth a lot, and if some ill-intentioned people know that the collection in the hands of collectors is genuine, it is likely to cause trouble to them, and then it will also have a bad impact on their own exposition.

After seeing that the old man's collection was authentic, and that the calligraphy and paintings identified by a lady who came up later were also genuine, the enthusiasm of the collectors waiting in line for identification rose again.

Looking at these enthusiastic collectors, Fang Yong sighed in his heart, collecting in the folk!

Time passed slowly, and today's treasure appreciation activity is about to come to an end. I saw the last collector waiting for the appraisal and walked up with a scroll of calligraphy and painting.

When this collector showed his calligraphy and paintings in front of the experts, the experts did not show too much surprise.

This is a picture of hunting on horseback, and it depicts several children of the Eight Banners hunting prey in a wasteland. Looking at his painting work, at best, it is the work of a painter who is not well-known.

The painting was then handed over to Liu Guoli, who is in charge of the appraisal of calligraphy and painting today.

Liu Guoli is a leading appraiser of calligraphy and painting in the Palace Museum, and has a high level of appraisal of calligraphy and painting in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Liu Guoli, who has been engaged in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting for a long time, has long had an outline of the style of calligraphy and painting in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The painting in front of me, as can be seen from the style of the brush, is a painting style in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it also vaguely reveals a hint of Western interest, but it has something to do with the combination of Chinese and Western Hecy Law pioneered by Lang Shining.

Later, Liu Guoli looked at the paper silk used in this painting. After careful observation, Liu Guoli judged that this was a kind of paper often used by calligraphers and painters in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why paper silk is carefully observed is because calligraphy and painting exist by virtue of paper silk, and the importance of paper silk to identification goes without saying. Different paper silk has its different characteristics, and different effects will appear when painting and calligraphy on different paper silks.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Guoli checked the inscriptions, seals, and mountings on the calligraphy and paintings, which once again confirmed his previous judgment that this painting was made by a painter who had studied the Hercynian painting style in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and was not very famous. Although the value is not too high, it is also a good antiquity.

After the appraisal was completed, Liu Guoli issued an appraisal certificate for the collector. (To be continued......)
