Chapter 192: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea (I)
In addition to those who had come to cheer and left for the lounge, there were more than a dozen people at the door.
These people who stayed behind are all real experts in antique collection in Beijing, and in addition to attending the opening ceremony today, they still want to see Wei Hua's collection.
As students majoring in cultural relics identification and restoration at Beijing University, Feng Yongkang and Zhu Kai, the two brothers, naturally stayed with Li Ran.
In the past, they were all listening to Qi Gong's lectures from afar, and they didn't even have the opportunity to say a word, but now they can be in such close contact, and several people are a little excited, and they surround Mr. Qi in the middle like the stars holding the moon.
"Xiao Wei, I heard that you have often participated in some foreign auctions in recent years, and acquired the cultural relics that were lost abroad, which is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and the merits are immeasurable......
Looking at the several exhibition halls in front of him, Old Man Qi was in a good mood, the most painful thing in his life was that his ancestors were not good, he was bullied by foreign enemies several times, and plundered many treasures of the country abroad.
In recent years, Qi Gong has united many well-known people in the antique industry and academic circles to buy back the precious cultural relics that have been lost abroad, but because of the shortage of funds, the results have not been very large.
"Elder Qi, this is what every capable Chinese person should do, compared to your contribution to the domestic cultural relics industry, I am still much worse."
Wei Hua could let Meng Lin accompany those officials who were not low-level, but in front of Qi Gong, he did not dare to show the slightest arrogance and neglect, although the old man looked kind, but in fact, he was a strong iron bone.
There was once a senior general of the Air Force who went to Qi Gong's house to ask for words, and for such a thing, the old man has always refused to come, but it happened that there was something at home that day, so he told the person who came. Come back in a few days to pick up the words.
Who knew that the general was not happy, and he had to ask the old gentleman to write it to him on the spot, Qi Gong immediately became angry, and said Aren't you a military-level cadre, send the air force to bomb me, and make people leave in a shameless way.
In the past few years, Qi Gong has grown older. He rarely attends private events, that is, Wei Hua took pictures of many of his collections for the old gentleman to see, and then invited him to the scene.
"Me? It's useless, it's a scholar, or it's not as good as you......" The old gentleman in his eighties was very quick in thinking, and after hearing Wei Hua's words, he couldn't help but sigh, and his expression was a little gloomy.
Just last year, there was a foreign film of a manuscript "Songxuezhai Anthology" written by Zhao Mengfu among the four major regular script families, and Qi Gong immediately united multiple departments after hearing about it. Prepare to take a picture of it.
It's just that "Songxuezhai Anthology" is too famous, and Zuihou Qi Gong and others are still because of their lack of financial resources, and this priceless manuscript was pocketed by a wealthy man on Hong Kong Island.
Li Ran, who was on the side, knew Qi Gong's thoughts, and immediately said: "Teacher, Hong Kong Island has returned, and now many things have been photographed by people over there, which is equivalent to returning to the motherland." You don't have to mind that. ”
Li Ran has been at Beijing University for four or five years, plus his family background. The year before last, he had already studied calligraphy, painting and jade appreciation under Qi Gongmen.
Li Ran's status as a disciple is completely different from the teacher that Qin Feng and others call in class, and he basically goes to the old man's residence every once in a while to visit and ask for advice.
"Alas, they all say that the descendants are not good, and I am not good for my ancestors."
The old gentleman shook his head. He has never recognized his identity as a Qing royal family to the outside world, but now he has said it twice in a row, which shows the deep resentment caused by the loss of those precious cultural relics.
"By the way, Li Ran, the piece of jade you took last time. I brought it. ”
Seeing Li Ran, the old gentleman remembered something, took out a piece of jade cicada from his pocket, and said: "This thing is a modern fake, but the craftsmanship is very good, and it is enough to make it real......."
Not long ago, Li Ran found a piece of ancient jade and took it to Qi Gong for identification, and it happened that someone would ask for words, so the old gentleman asked Li Ran to put it at home, and this time he brought it over when he thought about it.
"Is it fake?"
Reaching out to take the piece of jade cicada in Qi Gong's hand, Li Ran showed a stunned look in his eyes, and said, "Teacher, this piece of jade, but I received it from the "Qi Bao Zhai" store, and they also sell fakes?" ”
Recently, some ancient jade in very good condition has appeared in the capital, Li Ran spent 80,000 yuan to buy it, and more importantly, "Qishi Zhai" in the capital has never sold fake jade, which is a matter of smashing signboards.
"The people of "Strange Stone Zhai" may also be blind, there is a problem with the color of this jade, it is definitely a new imitation of the old, and in terms of time, I am afraid it will not exceed three months......"
Qi Gong shook his head and said: "Although the knife technique on this jade cicada is concise, it has a majestic and broad, natural and bold artistic conception, vigorous, rough, and powerful, it should be the long-lost Han Eight Knife, they should be wrong at this point." ”
"Han Badao? Will anyone still do now? ”
Li Ran rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and said, "Teacher, if this knife technique is no different from the Han Eight Knife, my 80,000 yuan is worth it." ”
The representative work of "Han Eight Knife" is the Eight Knife Cicada, the form is usually a concise straight line, abstract expression of its morphological characteristics, and its characteristic is that each line is straight and powerful, as if cut out with a knife, commonly known as "Han Eight Knife".
Han Badao handicrafts are representative works in the history of domestic jade, with a high level of craftsmanship and artistic value, occupy an important position in the history of jade, after the Han Dynasty no longer look for jade with this style.
"A fake is a fake, but this craft also has some collector's value......"
Looking at the jade cicada in Li Ran's hand, Qi Gong said: "As far as I know, there are still a few people who can, but they should be a hundred years old by now, and it is likely that they are their descendants......"
Speaking of this, Qi Gong sighed: "These people, they just don't want to come out, otherwise the name of a master craftsman will not be able to escape." ”
"Grandma's, it's really old, you can see it like this?"
The onlookers thought that this was an on-site appraisal of the apprentice instructed by the teacher, but Qin Feng was shocked in his eyes when he saw it, because the jade cicada was from Qin Feng's hand.
The prototype of this jade cicada is the mouth of the nine-trick jade obtained by Qin Feng from the tomb robbery.
That mouth itself is an imitation of the Han Eight Swords, but it has passed through Qin Feng's hands. However, it made up for some deficiencies in carving techniques, making it from Tang Yu to a real "Han jade".
But Qin Feng never expected that these objects he made in Jintian would flow into the capital so quickly, and this was the second he had seen outside of Hu Baoguo.
For Qi Gong, Qin Feng really couldn't describe his admiration for him in words at this time. This old man spoke to the point, and he wanted to find the only fault with this piece of jade, that is, Qin Se, but this was a hard injury caused by too short a time.
"Qi Lao, I also have a piece of jade here, which I bought from a friend's store in Tianjin Tianshi a few days ago, why don't you give me a palm too?"
Wei Hua originally wanted to ask Qi Gong to help him comment on the collections of various museums, but now when he saw Li Ran's piece of jade, he couldn't help but be happy. A handle piece was removed from his waist.
This handle piece is carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade, the size of a baby's palm, rounded around, and the middle is hollowed out to carve out a reclining Buddha, the image is vivid, and the knife work is exquisite.
"Damn, buddy has made a total of twenty or thirty pieces of jade, and I saw three pieces so soon?"
Seeing the object in Wei Hua's hand, Qin Feng couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face. Although this handle is slightly different from the jade cicada, it is also from Qin Feng's hand.
"Okay. This is the main master before he saw it, so he started first? Mr. Qi laughed when he heard this, and after taking the handle, he said, "This is old, and his legs and feet are not good, let's find a place to sit down and talk." ”
"Yes. Yes, let's go to the tea room. ”
Wei Hua nodded again and again, and helped the old gentleman to the tea room on the left side of the door, which was specially used to entertain guests, and could only sit seven or eight people. And Qin Feng's young people naturally stood by and listened.
After sitting down, Wei Hua saw that his baby daughter had also followed up in the tea room, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "Feifei, why are you here too?" Aren't you afraid to be interested in these things? ”
Although Wei Hanfei often helps Wei Hua participate in some art auctions abroad, Wei Hua knows that she only goes to hold up signs every time, but she doesn't like the things that these dead people have played with very much.
"I'll come in and listen, Dad, leave me alone, let Grandpa Qi start the identification."
After hearing her father's words, Wei Hanfei's pretty face turned slightly red, and she peeked at Qin Feng, she didn't know what was going on, she walked in behind Qin Feng just now.
"Huh? Could it be that my daughter has taken a fancy to that kid? I want to go back to Li Ran and ask where that kid came from......"
Wei Hua was so bright, his daughter's small movements naturally couldn't escape his eyes, his gaze turned on Qin Feng, and Wei Hua focused on Qi Gong's body again.
"This is Tang Yu's style......"
Taking the magnifying glass handed by others, the old gentleman explained while looking at it: "Although Hetian jade has been mined since before the Qin and Han dynasties, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it formed a scale, so the quality of Hetian jade in Tang Yu is the most haode......"
Wei Hua also has a lot of research on jade, and immediately interjected: "Qi Lao, the jade quality of this piece of jade is pure, the color is natural, and the pulp is thick, in my personal opinion, this should be a hand-me-down Tang jade ......."
As mentioned above, the average ancient jade can be called heirloom jade only after at least one dynasty earlier and after three generations of playing, and the price of heirloom ancient jade is far from being comparable to the newly unearthed jade.
After Wei Hua's trick was collected by Jintian's store, he regarded it as a treasure of the town store, if it weren't for Wei Hua's special identity, he wouldn't have been able to buy it at all, even so, he spent a full 800,000 yuan.
"Huh? Looking at this jade pulp and color, it should be a piece of Tang jade. Qi Gong watched it for a long time, although he was a little panicked in his heart, but after all, he didn't see any flaws.
"Tang Yu is Tang Yu, but the heirloom ancient jade may not."
Hearing the old man's appreciation, Qin Feng couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud of his means of hiding from the world. (To be continued......)
