Chu Chen didn't expect that his uncle would send him Liu Gongquan's works. You know, Liu Gongquan's works are generally more steles, and his ink works are very rare.
Moreover, Liu Gongquan's calligraphy was already well-known in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there was a saying among the people that "every word of Liu is worth thousands of gold". His calligraphy works can be handed down to the present, and its value can not be measured by money at all.
It can be said that this work is extremely precious. If Chu Chen didn't know his uncle's temper, he would like to return it to the other party.
Chu Chen shook his head, no longer think about it, and then took out a magnifying glass to carefully observe the work.
Liu Gongquan's calligraphy is vigorous, rigorous and meticulous. In character, he is famous for his thin and vigorous style. His regular script is vigorous, vigorous and vigorous. Running script and regular script are the most exquisite. This is the unique feature of his works.
In front of the regular script, it can be said that "the book is expensive, thin and hard, and it can communicate with the spirit". Compared with the face and body, it is slightly uniform, thin and hard. The characters are uniform, thin and hard, and they follow the Wei Dynasty stele firmly. The stippling is crisp and straight, and the structure is rigorous. It is in line with the saying of "Yan Jin Liu Gu".
The calligraphy in front of us is vigorous, steady but not vulgar, dangerous but not strange, old but not withered, moist but not fat, and graceful. The strokes are uniform, hard and thin, the edges and corners are exposed, and the strokes are rich in variety, avoiding single hanging repetition. In addition to the unique characteristics of horizontal and vertical paintings, Chu Chen can be sure that this work should be the handwriting of Liu Gongquan's regular script.
In addition to the paper of the works, the promotion and seal of the author, and the promotion and seal of later famous artists, the authenticity of these two works is needless to say.
After identifying the authenticity of the work, Chu Chen felt very surprised. How could such a work be found? Did the original owner know nothing about it?
"Introverted and outspread, the palace tightens, the limbs develop, in the rigorous see the broad and open style, good words, good words!" Chu Yongning is also interested in calligraphy. Therefore, when he saw this painting, his eyes immediately glowed with excitement. After careful taste, he couldn't help admiring it.
His father's words made Chu Chen recover. Then he said with a smile, "Dad, since you like this painting so much, I'll let you have it."
"Put it here?" Chu Yongning felt a little moved, and then sighed: "well, I'm busy at work now, and I don't have much time to enjoy this work. I'd better wait until I retire!"
Hearing his father say so, Chu Chen's heart can only sigh gently. According to the current trend, his father's official will become bigger and bigger. At that time, he will not only have much less time for himself, but also for the sake of safety, he will not be able to live here any more.
Thinking of this, chuchen felt a little reluctant, but he couldn't help it. At that time, he could only visit him often.
Chu Chen cheered up and said, "OK, when you want to see it, just go to the vault and get it."
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a thing, patted his forehead, and said with a smile, "Dad, there are calligraphy works of Yan Zhenqing and Mi Fu in my vault."
"What Chu Yongning slightly a Leng, then a face surprise of say: "you this kid, how not earlier say with me!"
"I didn't think of that before." Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go and see it now!" Chu Yongning can't wait to say.
Zhao Yunlin gave him a white look and said, "what's the hurry? It's too late today. You can't look at it tomorrow. It won't be lost!"
Chu Yongning looked at the time, almost 11 o'clock, can only have some regret to say: "then tomorrow!"
"Well! Let's have a rest and enjoy the things tomorrow! " Zhao Yunlin said.
Everyone had no opinion about this, so Chu Chen began to put away his works.
"Brother, is this rare emperor the seal of Emperor Qianlong?" Chu Yulan pointed to a seal and asked.
Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes, this rare emperor is the imperial seal of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. Seals are often used in the paintings and calligraphy collected by Gugong. "
Josie said in surprise, "ah! How did it get out there? Could it be that the foreign allied forces would have been stolen? "
Chu Chen thought about it, and then said, "it's possible, but my uncle is unlikely to pick up the leak abroad. I think it's probably not that it will spread, but that it was stolen by the last emperor after the Qing Dynasty was overthrown."
After the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the last emperor was driven out of the Palace Museum and stole a lot of national treasures. Among them, there are more than 1200 famous calligraphic paintings, which is the largest case of national treasure lost in the history of our country and shocked the whole world. After the last emperor fled to the eastern part of northern province, they sold a lot of national treasures because of the survival crisis.
It's sad that on the way to escape, he and his courtiers took these priceless paintings, antiques and local farmers for steamed bread because they didn't have anything to eat, which led to the loss of a large number of treasures among the people. Maybe this work was sold at that time."So it is!" Everyone suddenly said.
Chu Chen stood up and said, "of course, it's just my guess. As for what's going on, I have to ask where my uncle bought it."
"I'll call my uncle on the phone and ask him!" With that, Chu Yulan ran out and called.
"This child, I don't know what time it is!" Zhao Yunlin was angry and strange, but she knew that Zhao Qirui didn't go to bed before 12 o'clock every day, so she didn't stop him.
Chu Chen carefully put the work away, and then the party went out.
At this time, Chu Yulan also just asked the cause and effect, so he chirped out.
It turns out that some time ago, Zhao Qirui received a phone call from a friend in the eastern part of northern province, saying that he was a distant relative of his family and that he had some paintings and calligraphy to sell, including not only Zheng Banqiao's works, but also Tang Yin's ink treasures. When Zhao Qirui heard the news, he happened to have something to go to northern province, so the next day he went there by plane with his master.
When Zhao Qirui got there, he was arranged by his friend to stay in a small hotel in the area where his relative was located. After two hours, his friend rushed in with his distant relatives. They also brought an old wooden box and seven scroll paintings with the seal of the turbulent era.
As soon as Zhao Qirui saw this posture, he looked at the master in the palm. There are so many games in the field of antiques that people have to guard against them.
However, when he arrived here, it was impossible for Zhao Qirui to leave without looking at it, so everyone opened the box and looked at it.
Inside the box are works of famous artists, including Zheng Banqiao, Lang shining, Tang Yin and of course Liu Gongquan.
Although they are all masterpieces, their authenticity is not flattering. Apart from Liu Gongquan's work, all other works have been destroyed.
However, it was Liu Gongquan's work that nearly surprised Zhao Qirui and the master. Fortunately, both of them had rich life experiences. In the end, they were very excited.
When he discovered Liu Gongquan's works, even if he knew that there was a hole in front of him, Zhao Qirui would jump. Then, knowing that the six paintings were fakes, he finally paid 800000 yuan for them.
Then it was Liu Gongquan's turn. The seller asked for 900000 yuan, which made Zhao Qirui feel relieved. He knew that the other party should be selling the real one as a fake one. So next, you come and I go, and after a while, the deal is finally concluded at the price of 400000.
After listening to the cause and effect, Chu Chen said with a smile: "in this way, this painting is probably stolen by the Republic of China."
Everyone nodded, agreed, and then Chu Yulan said with envy: "uncle's good luck, actually picked up such a big leak!"
Chu Chen said with a smile: "uncle's luck is really good, but this situation is obviously a situation. If you usually encounter this situation, it's better to stay away. Uncle's situation is still rare."
If you buy a collection of hundreds of millions of yuan at the price of 400000 yuan, few people will be envious. However, the "water" in the collection field is very deep, not to mention that ordinary people are easy to get lost. Even if experts are deceived, it's not new. Don't take any chances when encountering "land mines" or scams, otherwise it's usually yourself who will be injured.
Moreover, in normal times, we should not blindly collect and invest antiques with the mentality of picking up leaks. In the words of the stock market, antiques are risky and we should be cautious when entering the market. Moreover, antiques can be seen in tens of thousands, even tens of millions. If you really hit the eye and get into the game, it's like the money is floating in the water and you can't even hear the sound of the water.
"Xiaolan, remember to listen to your brother's words. If you want to buy antiques, you must not be blind or listen to other people's stories. Otherwise, you will be the one who will suffer the losses at that time!" Zhao Yunlin saw Chu Yulan's yearning face and said solemnly.
Chu Yulan spat out her tongue. After listening to Zhao Qirui's experience of picking up the leak, and Chu Chen's experience of picking up the leak from time to time, she was really excited. She thought that she would pick up a big leak one day, which would make everyone look at it with new eyes.
But she didn't have a fever in her head. Although she thought about it all the time, she didn't put it into action. This is also because she loves her money.
"I know. If I buy antiques in the future, I will let my brother accompany me!"
