"Fack! How is it possible? Didn't An Siyuan's hand have been sold in 2003? The purchaser was the Shanghai Museum of China, and the transaction price was 4.5 million US dollars.
When the Japanese bid 11 million US dollars, they didn't buy that set. Whoever thought that An Siyuan had one set, and it seemed that the history was even longer.
If the guy Steven is right, this is the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, then I am sure that our auction house missed a rare treasure! Lost! "
The vice president of Christie's auction house clasped his head and exclaimed, his expression was extremely painful, and he was almost mad with regret.
"You know, that was 4.5 million US dollars in 2003. If you put it on the current antique market, even if you spend 45 million US dollars, you may not be able to buy that set of signatures.
After the previous set was acquired by the Shanghai Museum, it was quickly designated as a national first-class cultural relic, a veritable Chinese national treasure, which shows its importance.
If this set was really rubbed in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, then I can hardly imagine that it would be classified as a cultural relic, let alone its value! "
An antique art appraisal expert at Christie's said with a bitter smile on his face.
At the same time, the same scene is happening in many places.
All those who knew this set of classics were stunned and could hardly believe what they saw and heard.
This also includes many domestic antique dealers, and even official personnel from the Chinese embassy in New York and the delegation to the United Nations.
The live broadcast continued, and Ye Tianqinglang's voice kept coming out, reaching everyone's ears.
After introducing the basic situation, Ye Tian began to use the volume in his hand as an example to support his appraisal conclusion and give a rough estimate.
"I said in the live broadcast just now that this is a set of important cultural classics from the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than a thousand years. It is extremely precious and can be called an invaluable treasure!
Why did I come to such an identification conclusion, and so sure? Of course, this is justified and well-founded. It is by no means nonsense. I will explain them one by one next!
The book I am holding now is the first volume of the whole set of Dharma notes, that is, the Emperor's scroll. Opening this volume of Dharma notes, we can see the year of the rubbing, which is very clear! "
With that said, Ye Tian gently opened the cover of the ancient book in his hand and pointed to a line of small characters on the homepage.
Jason's mobile phone camera quickly followed up, and a close-up shot came, showing the line of fine print on the live screen and also in front of everyone.
"Look, everyone, this line of text is very clear.'Chunhua Three Years Rubbings'. From this, we can see that this is the original version, which is rare in the world!
Below this line of text, there are two red seals, which are very eye-catching. One is the collection seal of Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi, and the other is the collection seal of Song Huizong Zhao Ji. It is not difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
From this it can be determined that this set of early extensions should have come from the Northern Song Dynasty court and has been circulated in the hands of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty. The context is clear!
The same seal is on the other nine volumes, as well as the seals left by several other Northern Song emperors, and the collection seal of a contemporary emperor of the Jin Dynasty!
From this change, it can be seen that, like its original owner, Song Huizong, this initial rubbing version became the trophy of the Jin Dynasty and fell into the hands of the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty! "
Hearing this, those calligraphy lovers and familiar professionals on the live broadcast are completely crazy!
"Oh my God! The original version of the third year of Chunhua, and it is the collection of the Zhao Song royal family! Real or fake? If it is a genuine product, it is probably the heaviest in a thousand years.
In comparison, the Southern Song version of the Palace Museum and the Shanghai Museum that are known as the rarest books are not worth mentioning! "
"I don't know whether the seal of Song Taizong is true or false, but the seal of Song Huizong Zhao Ji's looks very real. I have seen it in his paintings and calligraphy works.
If this set is really a preliminary version of Chunhua's three years, and it is a collection of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, then I'm sure that there will be a magnitude ten earthquake in China's antique shop! "
Exclamations sounded in many places, and some professionals even pounced on the TV screen, their eyes rounded, and carefully identified the ancient book in Ye Tian's hand.
They wanted to go straight into the TV and appear in the luxurious apartment on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, **** the ancient book from Ye Tian and take it as their own.
Without a moment's pause, Ye Tian continued to elaborate on his identification basis.
"In addition to the text information and these seals, another method is used to start with this set of physical characteristics for scientific identification.
The conditions here are limited, there is no high-tech testing equipment, analysis and testing are not possible, but it doesn’t matter, I naturally have my method and can also draw accurate identification conclusions.
Everyone, please look at the paper and ink on this roll. Although the paper is still tough after thousands of years, the ink is still clear. It is a miracle.
I can tell you that the paper and ink used to rub this roll are the famous "Chengxintang Paper" and "Li Tinggui Ink" in Chinese history. They are the top stationery items.
Regarding Chengxintang paper and Li Tinggui's ink, I won't introduce them here. One or two sentences are not clear at all. That would be a waste of time. I believe everyone is not interested in understanding.
In Chinese history, it is said that only the preliminary version was used, and only Chengxintang paper and Li Tinggui ink were used. Other versions did not have this treatment at all, and could not afford it!
For thousands of years, this top-level version has only existed in legends. No one has seen this kind of rubbing spread. This set in front of us is probably the only one!
Although Nantang Chengxintang paper and Li Tinggui ink are extinct, there are still a few antique works of art using this paper and ink, and the identification methods have been passed down, so it is not difficult to identify!
I happened to have appraised this kind of antique artwork, and I was considered to have experience, so I came to this appraisal conclusion. This is the first version, the real priceless treasure! "
Many people have heard of Ye Tian's ability and vision to identify antique works of art, knowing that he has never seen it before! No antique works of art can escape his eyes.
Coupled with the identification basis he gave, they are all so powerful, almost irrefutable.
Based on what he said, people have completely believed it!
This is from the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the first rubbing version, the real priceless treasure, and fell into the hands of that **** Steven!
There is no doubt that God's eyes are blind again! I can't see anyone at all, only Steven's extremely lucky bastard!
The atmosphere on the live stream has become more and more popular! It's like a pot.
Many professionals have picked up their mobile phones, made calls, sent text messages, or used other communication methods to notify their friends so that they could watch this live broadcast as soon as possible.
As a professional, if you miss this live broadcast and this opportunity to witness the miracle, it is best not to go out for a long time to avoid shame!
This is not only the case in the field of antique art collection in the United States, but even the Chinese antique shops on the other side of the ocean have been completely shocked. A tsunami has occurred!
Many domestic antique dealers were awakened by the sudden ringing of the telephone, and one by one got up from bed with sleepy eyes.
When they heard on the phone that the first rubbing version of the Northern Song Dynasty Royal Collection had appeared and had fallen into Ye Tian's hands, they were immediately shocked! Stunned directly in place.
In a blink of an eye, they woke up, and the exclamation sounded frantically!
Immediately afterwards, these guys pounced on the computer, preparing to watch this live treasure hunt over the wall. Everyone's skills became exceptionally vigorous, regardless of age or gender!
Ye Tian's explanation continued, his voice was still clear, and he became more and more excited.
"In addition to the above, there is another identification basis, that is, rubbing the original version of this set. Compared with the later version, the original version is somewhat different!
Song Taizong ordered his officials to engrave the original edition, which was engraved on a jujube board, and was engraved by the author of the Hanlin servants of the dynasty, based on the inks of famous masters collected by the Song court.
If you are a professional who has done research, it is not difficult to find the difference between the two. There is no doubt that the original version of Zaomu is obviously closer to the original.
It is a pity that only more than 50 years later, during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the palace accidentally caught fire, and unfortunately all the original printing plates of jujube wood were burned, and no one was left.
Because of this fire, the early rubbings were particularly precious, and they were regarded as treasures in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were extremely valuable! Loved and chased by countless literati and ink guests!
The introduction to this set of identification basis is here! Let's talk about the valuation of this set of cultural classics, I believe this is what many people want to know and are most interested in! "
Hearing this, the eyes of countless melon-eating people on the live broadcast suddenly brightened began to emit green light.
"Isn't it! This is what we are waiting for!"
Ye Tian paused for a while, then continued:
"In 2003, Mr. An Siyuan once sold a set, known as the best book! The purchaser was the Shanghai Museum of China, and the transaction price was 4.5 million US dollars.
As far as I know, there were more than one museum begging for the set of signatures, including the Metropolitan Museum, several museums in Japan, and several other famous museums.
The Japanese bid even reached 11 million U.S. dollars, but An Siyuan rejected the other party, and finally sold the set to the Shanghai Museum, allowing him to return to his homeland!
In this regard, I very much admire Mr. An Siyuan’s high spirits, which is a treasure of chemistry. Only in China can it emit the most dazzling light!
Compared with the set sold by Mr. An Siyuan, this set is obviously better and its value is much higher than the previous set. The gap between the two is huge.
There is no doubt that this set is invaluable and its value is immeasurable! If you have to give a valuation, then my valuation is 500 million US dollars! Only low, not high! "
"Ah! Five hundred million dollars! This is going to break through the sky!"
All the live broadcast terminals were exploded in an instant, and the people in this live treasure hunt were also crazy in an instant!
