Chapter 608 Calabash Gongan
Master Ma smiled and said: "If Director Li agrees tonight, we will complete all the procedures tomorrow. After that, we will go to the Summer Palace, the National Museum, and the Forbidden City, and pay a visit by the way. "Old man."
"We have to go to the auction..." Fei Guan said to the horse. The old man in Ma Wei's mouth was definitely his master, Mr. Wang Shixiang. This person can be said to be the number one person in the world of antiques and art. He was known as "the number one in the capital" long before the founding of the People's Republic of China. "Player", if you can visit me with your elbow and take a photo, you will be able to brag about it for a lifetime!
But I still have business to do when I go to Beijing this time, otherwise I would be embarrassed to report the accounts when I get back.
Zhou Zhi quickly tugged at Fei Guan's clothes. Being able to meet Mr. Ma is already several levels of luck beyond the auction. With his connections and ability, he can handle a few plates of your work. It's not a matter of raising one's hand, so why mention it in isolation?
He quickly interrupted: "There are also Panjiayuan and Liulichang. We should also go to broaden our horizons."
"A trip to the ghost market?" Ma Ye said happily: "This is what we should do."
>After speaking, he still took care of Fei Guan’s mood: “Mr. Fei, this What did you bring to Haitong this time?”
“It’s a pair of wild rice stems from the Kangxi Dynasty. The quality is comparable to the pair that was put up at Christie’s Autumn Sale in the Big Apple in 1989. "Zhou Zhi knows how to talk to Mr. Ma to make him understand instantly.
"That pair..." Mr. Ma said: "The final auction price of that pair was more than 30,000 US dollars, right?"
"Thirty-eight thousand and five thousand."
"Then domestically it can only be thirty-eight thousand and five thousand yuan, RMB." Mr. Ma said: "It's not a great market."
" Yes, the price difference between domestic auctions and overseas auctions is too big now. Guan said: "I am here to support Tonghai. Mr. Tonghai and Mr. Lin's master were once the old chief engineer of our Gongmei."
"Lin Weibiao's master is Mr. Zheng, right? Mr. Zheng is your Gongmei's master." Boss? Haven't you heard of this?" Mr. Ma asked.
“Back then, Mr. Zheng escorted the cultural relics from the Forbidden City to Shu. During that time, he guided the work of the Shudu branch of Zhonghua Book Company and made great contributions to our collection and arrangement of cultural relics.”
"Later, the bookstore merged with the Shudu branch of the Commercial Press and the Shudu branch of Kaiming Bookstore to form an ancient books bookstore. Later, it was changed to the ancient books sales department of Xinhua Bookstore. Later, our cultural relics main store also merged with Xinhua Bookstore and operated for a period of time. ,after They separated and established Gongmei Shopping Mall.”
“In our shopping mall, we still have some of the Song Dynasty books and rubbings that Mr. Zheng bought back then, and yes, there is also Qiu Ying’s "Wangchuan Pictures." ”, that is our treasure ”< br>
"So there is such a connection..." Mr. Ma turned to Feng Cang and said: "Then let's go and cheer up Lao Lin when we have time. Don't you also need to add something to your ancient bookshelf?"< br>
“Add some small items to the Bogu rack They are also quite elegant. The monochrome porcelain series, the cultural toys series, and even the snuff bottles, bird food jars, grasshopper pots, and purple clay pot series are all good collections. "
"Elbows are right. Is there any research on bird food cans?" Master Ma asked.
"The elbow is good." Fei Guan said with a smile: "I sent Xianqiao in the capital of Shu, and gave us a set of bird food cans, saying they were from Qianlong..."
"Golden pastels, The theme of "Zhizhi Jinyujiao"
"Gongyang'er?"
"It is indeed an official kiln."
>
"I only brought one." Fei Guan said, "Ah, but I took photos of the other two. The film is not used up and is still in the camera. If Mr. Ma wants to see it, I will develop it another day."
“It’s not me who wants to see it, it’s my master "Bird food jars are his hobby." "How's this, Mr. Wang?" Zhou Zhi didn't know much about Wang Shixiang before. He only knew that he was a master of Ming and Qing furniture and a master of cultural relics appraisal at the Palace Museum, but he didn't know that he was an expert. These little bits and pieces are also studied.
On second thought, it is natural. No cultural relics appraisal expert is famous for just one category. Appreciation of furniture itself involves many aspects of knowledge, and it is necessary to use Wood, lacquer, metal, jade, mother-of-pearl, fabric, stone and other materials and craftsmanship, Ming-style furniture masters, of course, must be masters of these categories.
This is somewhat similar to Master Zeng’s exegesis. A master of exegesis must be a master of ancient Chinese prose, classical poetry, pre-Qin literature, classical philosophy, Chinese history, calligraphy, seal cutting, and even painting.
For example, ancient writing as an art, left to future generations, is the art of calligraphy and literature. If you don't understand these, you can't understand the general idea of the article, how dare you pick it out word by word and make annotations?
There are some people who are really brave, but that’s not called a scholar, that’s called a joke.
"My master celebrated his eightieth birthday last year, and his wife drew him a picture called the 'Big Tree Picture'," Ma Wei said with a smile: "There are fifteen kinds of fruits drawn on the picture, which represent my master. Fifteen kinds of Interested in achievements, they are Ming-style furniture, lacquer research, bamboo carvings, gourds, fire-painted gourds, paintings, gilt bronze Buddha statues, cricket jars, pigeons, pigeon whistles, bird feed jars, herding cattle, large eagles, badger dogs, cooking. "
"Eh? It seems that you are quite similar to him. You both know a lot about food!"
"How dare you compete with Mr. Wang?" Zhou Zhi was frightened. He waved his hands repeatedly: "To be honest, I have never tasted the Sichuan dishes I wrote about. They are just a giant in words but a dwarf in actions. But I don't think Wang Laodan is like this."
This is absolutely true. Mr. Wang Shixiang was known as the "number one player in Beijing" when he was young, and he was proficient in every game.
The funniest thing is playing with gourds. The old man later wrote in the information how the old Beijingers played. He said that they would put molds on the gourds. When the gourds grow up, they will bear the auspicious patterns on the molds. , then it is processed and inlaid with a jade mouth, which is a pottery. It sounds best when you carry it with you as a cricket jar.
Then some foreigners refuted it, saying that gourds are plants, and plants must have sunlight. The method of making gourds mentioned by Mr. Wang is too ridiculous, because once the gourds are fastened to the mold and cannot see the light, they will definitely not be able to continue. grew.
Mr. Wang was laughing and laughing, saying that this was how we played back then. How come no one believes it today?
So I planted the gourds myself, put molds on them when the gourds knotted, and waited until the gourds were harvested to make a gourd, which was the end of the case.
Of course, it also brings out another literary and entertainment category.
So when Master Ma heard what Zhou Zhi said, he couldn't help but smile: "That's right, the things Master mentioned are all things he has admired and tasted, and he will definitely not just flip through the information."
"That's such a pity. If I had known, I wouldn't have given the bird food jar to Uncle Fei and the others." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "As a small gift to the old man, That’s not a pearl in the dark!”
“By the way, Uncle Fei, why are you carrying that bird food jar?”
“That’s right. Fei Guanyipi: "You said that thing is a Qianlong pastel marker. I also love learning. I brought it to the capital so I could touch it and compare it when I went to the ghost market."
"It's yours," Zhou Zhi couldn't help but smile: "Follow the picture, be careful to get a toad in the end!"
"I feel hungry even talking about this." Wang Shuo said, "Anyway, someone should treat me today, right? "Where?"
"Go to Fangshan Restaurant!" Yu Bin said quickly: "It's mine!"
