00177 Dunhuang Testament
The first more, ask for support, fight! ββ
"Okay."
Being able to enter Sean's collection room, where would Wang Ding refuse, said happily.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Sean James is a private collector, his collection room is like an underground vault, Wang Ding winds into the basement, the incandescent halogen lamp is turned on, and the warm, golden ground is magnificent, like a palace.
The basement is not damp at all and is well ventilated.
The collection in this basement can be said to have surprised Wang Ding, in addition to some exquisite porcelain, oil paintings, sculptures and artworks, there are many things that Wang Ding has never seen.
Naturally, the collection of the East is slightly different from the collection of the West, the development history of the West is relatively short, mostly sculpture and oil painting art of the Renaissance, and then there are some imported products from all over the world, so the collection categories appear to be varied and quite rich.
Sean James's collection basement, among Asian countries, is not the largest collection in China, Wang Ding is in sight, and the most collected collection he sees is still from India # degree.
Yin# is also one of the four ancient civilizations, and the Harappan culture of Yin# has existed as early as 5,000 years ago, much earlier than the history of Chinese civilization.
Among the works of art in this India#degree, Sean has the most collection of sculptures, mostly with women as the theme, with pottery, stone carvings, and bronze carvings, which are lifelike. Shine brightly.
Wang Ding first stopped at the cultural relics of the ancient country of Yin#Du. Sean explained to Wang Ding with a smile. "Wang Ding, the ancient seal # degree is one of the civilized countries, the women of the seal # degree I think there is a mysterious beauty, or because they often wear veils, so I have a quirky hobby for the women of the Indian # degree, so I have collected so many female sculptures of the Indian # degree, don't be surprised."
"Where will it be. The Indian # degree girls are indeed beautiful, especially with their sexy skin. I think so too. It seems that Mr. Sean has a surprising penchant for the degree of printing #. β
In fact, it is not only the female sculptures of the # degree, Wang Ding noticed that there are also more paintings of women with the # degree here, and there are several obvious that the women in the paintings are the same person.
The woman's dignified face, wheat-colored healthy skin, white teeth, and bright smile are a super beauty with a #degree of indication.
Sean sighed, "It's true that I have a special affection for the city of India#. But because I settled in France, I have my own job to do. Otherwise, I would definitely print #degree. β
What is unspeakable about Sean, Wang Ding can see it, but it is inconvenient to ask.
"Uncle Sean, I also want to have the opportunity to go to the ancient country of India # Du, the civilization of India # Du has experienced many dynasties, and it has also affected the advancement of Asian civilization, and our Chinese Buddha sculpture has borrowed the style of India # degree sculpture in a certain sense, but it is more rigid in form."
"Really? Wang Ding, do you also want to go to India #εΊ¦ to walk? β
"I want to go, but I don't know when I will have the opportunity to do it, this treasure appreciation competition is arranged to study in several countries, Paris, France as the first stop, I don't know where the next stop is in the road, but if I can, I will try to recommend the country of India # degree."
This is the end of the topic, and Sean seems to have something else to say, but he is still embarrassed to speak.
Then Sean James introduced Wang Ding to the area of Chinese collections, which have a much smaller number of pieces than the former, but more styles. In Sean's collection of Chinese cultural relics, there are blue and white porcelain, silk paintings, and bronzes, and these Wang Ding have seen everywhere in China, so they do not feel fresh.
James introduced them one by one, and Wang Ding agreed, but he didn't want to exchange these things with his "Old Testament Holy # Sutra".
"Wang Ding, I don't think you're interested in these things?"
Sean suddenly put down one of his beloved Chinese Qing Dynasty silk paintings, and asked after noticing.
"No, it's not that I'm not interested, your collection is really good, but if you exchange it for the Western treasure Old Testament #, the weight is not so much, do you know what I mean? For example, this landscape silk painting, the meaning is good, the artistic conception is rich, and the landscape is forgiving, but it is just a landscape silk painting of the Qing Dynasty court painter, the fame is too small, and this blue and white porcelain, the glaze and fetal quality are refreshing, and the value may not be bad, but compared to the Old Testament Holy # Sutra, it is a bit dwarfed. The manuscript of the Old Testament Holy # Sutra is a unique existence in the world, which has been lost for so many years, but blue and white porcelain is still seen frequently in our country. β
"Ha Lu, Wang Ding, Wang Ding didn't expect your vision to be very tricky, just take out my housekeeping baby and show it to you." I expected you to be dissatisfied with these collections. Sean said as he stepped forward.
Wang Ding hurriedly followed the former, but found that there was a hole in the basement.
You can see what button Sean pressed, then typed a few characters into the wall, and the wall rose from the ground.
After rising, Sean smiled meaningfully at Wang Ding and continued.
"In addition to these more popular cultural relics, my collection room also has some rare treasures, national treasure-level cultural relics, these cultural relics I generally don't let people see, but today I believe they can come in handy, you China, I don't know if this Dun # Huang testament and oracle bone tablets are you interested?"
"What do you say? Dun#Huang suicide note? β
Wang Dingzhi said that at the beginning of the 20th century, a French Chinese scholar bought a lot of Dun # Huang testament from the Qing government at that time at a low price, and now two-thirds of the 50,000 suicide notes in the Dun # Huang Grottoes are abroad, and France naturally has China's Dun # Huang testament.
If blue and white porcelain silk paintings and the like are not attractive to Wang Ding, but this Dun # Huang testament, which is a Buddhist classic, is all-encompassing. It really can't be said that there is no temptation.
"That's right, Dun # Huang testament. Dun # Huang testament is Gansu Dun # Huang grottoes in the volume, its content can be divided into sect # religious classics, official and private documents, Chinese four books, non-Chinese documents and other categories, is the study of medieval China, Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia related to history, archaeology, sect # teaching, linguistics, literature and art history, science and technology history geography important research materials, it is not only China's national treasure level cultural relics, valuable a lot. It is also a literary treasure of Asia, what do you think of this Dun # Huang testament? (To be continued......)
