Looking up, seeing that the onlookers were not very close, Ding Licheng lowered his voice: "Teacher Li, how much did you spend?" ”

Li Dingan didn't speak, but compared to an "eight"!

Eighty thousand?

"Sigh......"

"What are you sighing about?"

Ma Xianming poked his head, "Who drew it?" ”

"Cold coins!"

Well?

The chief painter of the court during the Qianlong period, and the director of the Ruyi Pavilion of the Royal Academy of Painting...... Isn't that worth two or three million?

Really?

The words came to his mouth, and he was swallowed by Ma Xianming again: Li Ding'an made a move, when did he hit the eye?

What's more, Ding Licheng watched it again, and it was impossible to make a mistake.

was secretly chattering, Ding Licheng turned the fan over again, and pointed to the poem on the sunny side: "Jiang Tingxi's poem, he wrote it himself!" ”

I'll go......

Doesn't it mean that this is Jiang Tingxi's fan?

There is no need to doubt it at all, just look at the content of the poem: a corner of the country divides the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the century-old temple is a total of Song mountains and rivers...... It's the division of the land again, and it's the mountains and rivers, what do you want to do, rebel?

In the political environment of the Qing Dynasty, no one dared to write like this, let alone use such objects. So the words on this must be from Jiang Tingxi's hand, and this fan can only be used by him.

And Jiang Tingxi is a grandmaster-level painter and calligrapher, the price of his works is not lower than Leng Mei's, this one is a work of two people, and the effect of one plus one is definitely greater than two.

Secretly surprised, Ma Xianming asked in a low voice: "What if it is valuation?" ”

Li Ding'an didn't squeak, Ding Licheng thought about it, and picked up the three fingers in the middle, leaving only the thumb and little finger.

Good guys, six million?

If it is auctioned, the hammer price may be even higher, and Li Dingan only spent 80,000?

As soon as it was shot, it was a set of houses within the fifth ring road...... Don't talk about eyesight, just talk about this luck, who doesn't blush?

The key thing is that Jiang Tingxi has served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, a scholar in the Ministry of Households, and a scholar of the Cultural Palace and a prince and a prince...... What is this equal to: the crown prince plus Zaifu can be described as the top of the people.

If such a highly symbolic thing is used for gifts, it can no longer be measured by money. Combined with Li Ding'an's current popularity and status in related fields, how high is his status that needs him to give gifts?

He rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "Who are you going to give it to...... Curator, or secretary? ”

What nonsense?

Just those two, dare to send such a thing, can a fan slap you in the face Believe it or not?

Li Ding'an glared at him: "I have a hole in my brain?" ”

Got it: it's not these two.

Who else could there be?

The place is not suitable, it is estimated that Li Dingan will not say it, Ma Xianming sighed long: Such a thing can be regarded as a family heirloom, but unfortunately, Li Dingan wants to give it away......

After staring at the fan for a while, he reluctantly put it back. Then he picked up the third piece, which was the wax bucket.

"Pure gold, and it is engraved again, and spectral detection has been done...... Tsk, is it really something from the Yang Shen period? ”

Sighing with emotion, Ma Xianming looked at it over and over again, "This is a camellia, it is carved very expressively, and this is not bad...... But to be honest, I can't see it...... Lao Ding, you come! ”

Shaking his head, he handed the golden pot forward. As if he was afraid of falling and breaking, Ding Licheng took it in his hand.

He didn't rush to look at it, and first pointed to the flower on it: "Yang Shen hand-painted, hand-carved?" ”

Li Dingan nodded.

He pointed to the small print below: "It's also his handwriting, hand-engraved?" ”

Or else?

Yang Shen is a painter, calligrapher, and master of gold and stone, and this is something he plays with with him, of course, he will not ask others to do it for him.

Li Dingan nodded again, but Ding Licheng's eyelids couldn't stop jumping.

This is Yang Shen, how many of his works have been handed down?

One is the "Shimaquan Poems" collected in the Forbidden City, the line of the cold gold notebook, 21 centimeters in length, 47 centimeters in width, less than one square foot, plus the inscription and signature, it is only 98 words.

The second is "Xindu Eight Arrays": In the eleventh year of Zhengde, Xindu County rebuilt the Wuhou Temple, when Yang Shen was in his hometown Xindu for his stepmother to guard the system, the county Han Yi asked him to inscribe, and then carved into a stone tablet, standing outside the Wuhou Temple, the inscription is in block letters, and it is still there.

The third piece is Su Shi's original work "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Stone Map" collected in the National Art Museum of China, which has a five-character poem inscribed by Yang Shen, which is also in regular letters, with 26 characters.

The fourth is Yang Shen's "Yu Tablet Research", the whole text is a book, it is one of the calligraphy and paintings that Pu Yi asked Pu Jie to smuggle out of the Forbidden City, and then took it to the northeast to be stored in the puppet palace in Changchun. In four or five years, the Japanese army surrendered, and the puppet national soldiers fought for treasures and were torn into several sections.

What survives today, the "Yu Tablet Research" that is clearly Yang Shen's authentic work is only a small section in the Forbidden City, the full text is about 100 words, only one-eighth of the original work, and only the middle paragraph, only Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing and other people's inscriptions, but there is no signature and inscription, so it can only be regarded as half a piece.

Therefore, there are only three and a half surviving works of Yang Shen.

If you ask how much it is worth, Ding Licheng really doesn't know, because apart from that, none of his works have ever appeared, let alone auctioned or transferred.

But he at least understands that if this one is identified as true, it is the fifth, and it is a miscellaneous category of engraved gold, which is of great significance.

After calming down, Ding Licheng took out his mobile phone again and opened the electronic archive of the Forbidden City. After clicking five or six times, several calligraphy and painting works appeared on the screen: "Shimaquan Poems", "Yu Tablet Research", "Xindu Eight Array Diagrams", and Su Shi's "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Stone Map" part, that is, the poem inscribed by Yang Shen.

Immediately, he put the golden pot flat again, placed it next to his mobile phone, and then scratched it and stopped at the end of the "Xindu Eight Arrays".

At first glance, the golden pot is a lishu, and the mobile phone is a block letter, a square, and a flat, as if it is not the same thing. In fact, it has a lot to do with it: the regular script is the evolution of the official book, and the two are in the same vein, both are horizontal and vertical, they are all neat, and even the trajectory of the pen is exactly the same.

If you look closely at the handwriting, whether it is the layout of the lines, the font structure, and the beginning and fall of the pen, there are eight or nine points of similarity.

And identifying handwriting is one of the basic skills of calligraphy and painting appraisers, so based on this, Ding Licheng is sure that this is Yang Shen's handwriting.

Afraid of what happened, he carefully compared it several times, and it took five or six minutes to straighten his waist, and he sighed again: "It's Yang Shen's pot!" ”

The sound is not small, and in the blink of an eye, there are a lot of "hulala" around.

Ma Xianming was also a little excited: "Let's talk about it!" ”

"Just look at the handwriting!"

Ding Licheng was very determined, lit up the mobile phone screen, "Look, is it exactly the same?" ”

Someone craned his neck and took a look, "Yang Shen's true handiwork?" ”

"Yes, there are only four pieces in the world: "Shimaquan Poems" is a line book, "Yu Tablet Verification" is a line book, and the title Su Shi's "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Stone Map" is also a line type, but this "Xindu Eight Arrays Map" is a block letter, the most contrasting ......"

"Look carefully: in addition to the first sentence of 'Deng, Ke, and Sui', and the last sentence of 'Jin, Lao, Weng', the rest, all the words on the body of the pot have ...... in the inscription"

Ding Licheng's finger pointed to the words on the stele, and the onlookers paused word by word, making comparisons: Dengke's age is three times as old today, nothing has been accomplished, and he has joined the army in seventy years - the old man of the Golden Horse.

Indeed, as Ding Licheng said, there are 16 of the 20 words.

Although the fonts are different, there is no difference between the writing methods, the starting and falling strokes, and the trajectory of the strokes. Looking at the handwriting again, I dare not say that it is exactly the same, at least seven or eight points similar.

Combined with the test results of the "middle Ming Dynasty", the answer is undoubted: it is Yang Shen's handwriting.

The three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, as well as so many "homes", the price of this thing is definitely not low, maybe it can be tens of millions.

Thinking of this, the people who followed Li Ding'an before regretted it, and they couldn't wait to bang their heads against the wall: why did Li Ding'an shake their heads when they asked them to pay.

The more I thought about it, the more unbalanced my heart became, and someone said sourly: "Since Yang Shen's words are so easy to recognize, why didn't anyone find out before?" ”

"That's right, Tibetan friends and tourists won't talk about it, but what about the experts in the audition?"

Good recognition?

Ding Licheng laughed angrily: "Could it be that what I just said is not clear enough: there are only four works of Yang Shen in the world, and all of them are collected in the cultural and museum department, and there is no circulation of his works among the people, what does this mean?" It means that no one studies his work at all......

First, there is no information and references, and there is nothing to study if you want to, and second, it is useless to study: at least the experts in the antique and appraisal circles will not waste this effort, and they will not be able to touch his works in their lifetime, so why study him?

You think I'm fast because I use effect to infer the cause: knowing that this is the premise of Yang Shen's authentic works, and then comparing his works, of course, it's fast...... If you don't believe it, go and ask, who wants to say what kind of handwriting you know Yang Shen, I call him Dad! ”

"It's such a big talk, who are you?"

"Ding Licheng, the leader of the Forbidden City calligraphy and painting group!"

"I'll ...... Imperial palace? ”

"What's wrong with the Forbidden City, it's the team leader, I thought you were the dean......"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand......" next to him stabbed him, "Mr. Ding ranks at least in the top ......ten among the national calligraphy and painting category appraisal experts"

No way?

This one didn't dare to squeak immediately, and subconsciously shrank out.

It happened so fast that Li Dingan ended it before he could open his mouth.

After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to explain. Otherwise, it seems that the organizer is unprofessional, and the two previous experts are too amateurish:

"This thing is really unpopular, and it's not easy to identify, and it's luck that I can recognize it."

Li Ding'an first pointed to the identification certificate: "Instruments such as C-14 and spectrometers are indeed not reliable for identifying porcelain and calligraphy and painting, but the properties of such as gold are relatively stable and the accuracy rate of objects that are not easy to oxidize is very high: because it is not the material itself that is detected, but the residue and pulp......

So at least I can be sure that this is indeed an object from the middle of the Ming Dynasty. And it just so happens that I studied Ming and Qing archaeology, and I studied more Ming history! ”

Ma Xianming tugged at the corners of his mouth: It's this set of rhetoric again, it's just right every time?

Li Dingan ignored him, and pointed to the words on the pot again: "Dengke's age...... If you look at the literal meaning, you can understand that the author has been a jinshi, which is one of them.

Second, the Seventy Army...... No matter how brutal and unethical the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, it was impossible for a seventy-year-old man to join the army, and he had also been promoted and served as an official, so there was only one possibility: to join the army for crime...... Third, the reverse count, is now three times as ...... It means that he was about twenty-three years old when he was promoted. ”

"Fourth: Golden Horse Old Man...... This knowledge point is a bit obscure, and I definitely don't understand it if I don't study history well: Han Bangu's "Liangdu Fu": There is a Jinma Shiqu Department inside, and the matter of Xingle Fu Xielu outside...... Tang Liu Su's "Tang Xinyu Kuangzan": The former Han Dynasty had Jinma and Shiqu, and the later Han Dynasty had Lantai and Dongguan...... Song Xu Xuan's "Willow Branches" lyrics: Jinma Cichen gave small poems, and the disciples of Liyuan sang new words......

Therefore, the so-called Golden Horse refers to the place where the state collects books, and the second refers to the place where the imperial court repairs books...... If it was in the Ming Dynasty, it would only represent one place: Hanlin Temple! It is not difficult to understand this sentence of the old man of the Golden Horse: the author was an official in the Hanlin Academy......

In the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy was not something that could be entered casually, because this was the only way to become a Zaifu, and it must be a first-class jinshi among the new scholars, that is, champions, lists, and flowers. In addition, there are also second-class scholars, but there are only a handful, and no matter how many they are, all the Ming Dynasty lifters who have entered the Hanlin Academy are all famous figures in history......

Does it feel clear at once? So this sentence is also the most critical. At this point, it is enough to explain the problem: active in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, at the age of twenty-three, he was promoted to the first class of Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Academy, and was conscripted into the army at the age of seventy...... There are so many clues, and the point is so clear, I can't think of Yang Shen anymore, Jing Dazhen will read it in vain! ”

"Hahaha......" Laughter rang out all around.

Someone raised his hand again: "Teacher Li, this is not right, Yang Shen's encyclopedia writes: When he was thirty-six years old, he was recruited by Emperor Jiajing to Yongchang, Yunnan, not seventy years old?" ”

"That's because his father is Yang Tinghe, even if he is dead, his protégés and former officials are still all over the government and the opposition, and some people cover for him. In the second half of his life, he will either be in his hometown Xindu, or travel all over the country, and he has not been to Yongchang a few times, so he can't count at all.

Look at the poems he wrote: Sichuan Xindu is the most, followed by West Lake, and the third is Yunnan...... "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "Biography" There are records: Sejong is very disgusted with his father and son. Every time he asks what to do, the ministers treat him with old and sick......

He also stayed in Yunnan for several years, but most of the time he stayed in Kunming, accompanied by the Duke of Qianguo and a group of officials in Kunming to chant poems against each other, singing and Fengyue, instead of really being a soldier on the border in Yongchang County, close to Myanmar...... "Ming History Biography" still records: self, or return to Shu, or live in Yunnan Huicheng, the officials Xian is good at it.

It wasn't until he was seventy years old that a famous calligraphy and painting he had inscribed a poem in Jiaxing entered the court, and happened to be seen by the emperor, that Jiajing knew how chic he lived. Then in a fit of rage, he ordered Jinyiwei to escort him back to Yongchang from his hometown in Sichuan...... "Ming History" still records: and seventy years old, returned to Shu, and sent the commander to arrest Yongchang......

Including Yang Shen himself, he also wrote poems to express his feelings: more than 70 years of life have been white-headed, and the laws and regulations are allowed to retire. Gui Xiu has been made Bajiangsuo, and he is so heavy that he is turned into a prisoner of the Yunnan Sea...... There is another song: Yanxi unintentionally snowed, and Hengshan intentionally opened the clouds. The sky borrowed the yellow cotton jacket and took pity on my seventy soldiers...... So the Seventy is not something someone else said, but he himself ......"

Li Ding'an's tongue was like a bead, and a bunch of people were stunned: at first glance, it doesn't seem to be difficult, as long as you know Yang Shen's life.

But think about it: good guys, who would look specifically at a person's historical research?

Just like Ding Licheng said just now: What's the use of studying him?

Thinking about it this way, even if Li Dingan didn't memorize the entire "History of the Ming Dynasty", it is estimated that he would memorize half of it, and even include "The Book of the Later Han", "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty", and "The Book of Song...... Otherwise, where could he know that the "Golden Horse" was the Hanlin Academy?

So with this erudition, it's really not luck for people to pick up leaks......

There was silence for a while, and someone raised his hand again: "Expert Li, how much is this worth?" ”

Li Dingan thought about it, but shook his head: "I don't know, because there is no auction of the same type of thing, and I haven't heard of anyone selling it." ”

"Can you compare it with other people's works, such as the other two Ming talents? Mr. Ding, there must be a similar collection in the Forbidden City, right? ”

"There are collections, but there are a lot of forgeries in Xie Jin, most of them are from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and now 99% of the circulating in the world are this kind, and the instruments are not easy to measure, so they have no reference value."

"What about Xu Wei?"

Ding Licheng couldn't help but be stunned: There are a lot of authentic works of Xu Wei, the Forbidden City and the National Museum have collections, and there are many private circulation, but it is not the same thing as this one at all.

He was about to explain, when one of them clicked on his mobile phone and said "fuck" again: "In 2017, Xu Wei's ink painting scroll "Sketch Scroll" on paper was auctioned in Guardian Autumn, with a starting price of 60 million, and finally 127 million? ”

"Look at the picture: it seems like there is more than one painting?"

"Oh yes, it's a picture...... There are five in total, but the largest is only three and a half square feet, and the remaining four are all one-square-foot sketches, on average, 23 million per square foot? ”

"That's a painting, isn't it?"

There are also words: 2020 Baoli Summer Auction, Xu Wei's "Four Cursive Tang Poems", four-square-foot silk, sold for 33 million. Further back, in the 2018 Christie's Shanghai auction, Xu Wei's "Five Words of Poetry" was ...... The transaction price was 14 million for 27 words, with an average of 500,000 per word...... I'm a day? ”

The onlookers were stunned: 500,000 words per word, even if you compare it with this, wouldn't it cost tens of millions of words to 20 words? And that's not even counting the value of the gold itself......

Li Dingan shook his head secretly: the donkey's head is not the horse's mouth, and there is no comparison at all.

If you only compare categories, Xu Wei is calligraphy and painting, but this one is miscellaneous, and the former must be expensive. Because the cultural and historical value of calligraphy and painting antiques is relatively high, and the second is that it is not easy to preserve, the price is of course high.

But if you compare the uniqueness and uniqueness, of course, this one is more valuable: there are few cultural relics of pure gold, and more than 80% of them are Buddha statues, and the rest are golden pots, golden cups, and marigolds. There are even fewer words, except for seals, only gold ingots.

But are there only a few words on it?

Suddenly a wax bucket with so many words engraved appeared...... I dare not say that there is only one in the world, but the same type of study cultural relics that have been handed down to this day, each of which can be called the treasure of the town hall.

Therefore, this is the most valuable part of this thing, and then there are all kinds of added value brought by Yang Shen, including all kinds of families, great Ming talents, and Sanyuan and No. 1 and so on.

"There is no comparability because it is not a category!" Li Dingan shook his head categorically, "But a word is definitely not worth 500,000, because it is engraved." Just like bamboo slips and rubbings, even if they come from the same writer, they are also antiques of words, but compared with calligraphy and painting: one underground, one in the sky......"

Is it like this?

The feelings are a little wrong, but since it was said by an expert, there must be some truth.

The onlookers all thought so, but Ma Xianming pouted: Li Ding'an's concept is purely a stealing concept.

Why do you have to compare it with calligraphy and painting, instead of comparing it with this cultural relic of the same material and purpose?

It is not for nothing that there are gold study toys: the National Museum has a pure gold Wufeng pen holder, and the Forbidden City has a lotus gourd gold pen wash.

Although it is a royal thing, there are no words on those two pieces, so this wax bucket is not much lower. If you have to estimate the price: after 20 million, Ma Xianming dared to eat it.

Look at the price on the invoice again: 1.1 million, and it was just opened.

How much is this more than a suite, how much is a villa in the Sixth Ring Road and a large flat in the city center?

Ma Xianming didn't know what to say: this is a cultural fair, not a stall in Panjiayuan, and all objects have to be identified twice by quite professional experts before they can be placed here.

But can Li Dingan still pick up the leaks?

On the other hand, when I think about it, I think it's a bit funny: Wouldn't letting Li Dingan be an expert here is equivalent to putting the wolf in the chicken coop?
