Chapter 846 Unique Advantages
Seeing Zhao Shangzhong’s red face, the fourth aunt smiled and said: “Shangzhong has been doing Su Dongpo these days, he is very cool.”
Zhao Shangzhong is modest: "I don't dare to compete with Su Dongpo anywhere, but I have some free time during the summer vacation."
Zhou Zhi couldn't help holding on to the handles of his wheelchair and snickering.
The fourth cousin said angrily: "You didn't understand what your wife meant. When Su Shi took office as the general magistrate of Hangzhou, he couldn't bear to be entertained every day. In a letter to a friend, he called Hangzhou a 'hell of wine and food' . Your wife is saying that it will be hard for you to eat this month.”
"Hi!" Zhao Shangzhong suddenly realized: "I am indeed a little overwhelmed, but this is my last meal. I saw the puff you made just now. Did you understand that you were snickering?"
Zhou Zhi quickly took the scroll from Jiang Shuyi: "I know everything I don’t understand anything, so I’ll put things away first.”
Zhou Zhi’s home is now very large, with an area of 170 square meters upstairs and downstairs, not counting the garden. The floor below is. Zhou Zhi's parents lived in the house, so they demolished a secondary bedroom and turned three bedrooms and one living room into two bedrooms and one living room, leaving the living room very large.
Grandma and Zhou Zhi live upstairs. Grandma’s room is deliberately made smaller because she needs to hold things while moving, so she has to have a place where she can use her strength.
The space left for Zhou Zhi to use as a bedroom and study room is relatively large. Zhou Zhi designed them into a connected structure, that is, the living room leads to the semi-open study room, and there is a small room behind the study room as a bedroom, so that the mother-in-law can Sun and Sun could still see each other when they were working as female workers and reading. Zhou Zhi sometimes read until late at night, and could just turn around and go to sleep in the small room.
It's said to be a small room, but it's actually quite big. It's just that a cabinet against the wall takes up a large part of the space, making the room look smaller.
This cabinet is a combination safe specially customized by Jinan Locks. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary cabinet. When you open the cabinet door, you will find that in addition to the wardrobe, the side door of the wardrobe is pushed open, and there is a safe inside. Locked rows of drawers.
Zhou Zhi has received a lot of good things in the past three years. He used to put them under the bed, which was a bit scary.
Now all the valuable ones are hidden here.
When school starts, Zhou Zhi will hide these treasures in a safer place - Suihuaxuan.
In addition to these valuables, Zhou Zhi also uses many common items for decoration in his home. For example, the small antique shelf partition downstairs that my mother especially likes to admire is filled with various small monochrome porcelains.
These utensils are very small, the largest vial is no more than the size of a fist, and the smallest is only as big as a thumb, but most of them are fine products from the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Even now, these things are still not very valuable. Zhou Zhi has a relationship with Haitong and the provincial cultural relics store. These are all obtained by Lin Wanqiu and Manager Fei from cultural relics stores across the country. They mainly focus on one color and all ages. , the utensils are exquisite enough.
The rest are basically Tongguang porcelain, which is not very precious, and Hutian kiln and Dayi kiln porcelain, although they are from the Tang and Song Dynasties, but their value has not increased.
The porcelains of Hutian Kiln and Dayi Kiln are both very elegant. The Tongguang porcelain selected by Zhou Zhan is also consistent with them in tone. It mainly focuses on shadow green, plum green and sky blue, and it also looks good as a decoration.
What remains are a few paintings in the nave written by famous officials of the Qing Dynasty. Because my father liked them very much, he also framed them and hung them up.
My father read by himself at the edge of the dining room. There was a small library wall there, which had obviously been reduced to ancillary facilities. Hanging on both sides were Zhang Zhidong's "Yuan Kai Chun Qiu Biography, Zhao Ming" Wenxuan Building".
Zeng Guofan's "A long-time general quietly observes the world and has his own deep feelings connecting the past and the present" hung in the living room. The remaining two paintings belong to Zhou Zhi. Zuo Zongtang's "Painting Pavilion with Ling Yan and High Standards and Different Suns" hanging in Zhou Zhi's study upstairs; Jintai Lunshi Zifu Collection".
There is also a painting by Li Hongzhang, "The breeze blows into the arms and is revealed in the hands; the flowing water today is the predecessor of the bright moon", which Zhou Zhi liked the most and planned to take it to the capital of Shu.
There are now so many art and antique shops in Hong Kong that they are almost ruined on the streets. People like Weng Tonghe and Lin Zexu can sell them at high prices. Others include Fu Shan, Zhao Zhiqian, Tie Bao, Liang Tongshu, Wang Wenzhi, Deng Shiru, Yi Bingshou, and Chen Jieqi. , Zhao Ruyong, even Liu Yong, Ji Xiaolan, are almost unknown to the outside world and are not sought after today.
Qi Lao had criticized the works of famous calligraphers in the Qing Dynasty, and this time he also packed many such things from Hong Kong Island. However, because these things were of little value, Huang Yinghao and Qu Jianming were both disappointed. Sorry, I want to send it directly to Zhou Zhi.
Of course Zhou Zhi did not accept it, and insisted that the two of them sell the goods at a price, and finally bought half of them at the clearance price and gave them half for free, adding to the Xuande blue and white market.
Don’t say they don’t take it seriously, even researchers like Fourth Cousin Uncle don’t pay much attention to it. In the eyes of Fourth Cousin Uncle, the calligraphy of the Qing Dynasty is not the unsurpassable Han and Jin calligraphy style. Tang Dynasty Song pen and ink.
In terms of age, I am in the middle of the pack in terms of level. How do you want me to pay attention to it?
In the end Zhou Zhi had to pinch his nose and said, forget it, you can just be responsible for thirty pieces of Shiqu's paintings and calligraphy. I will take these to the capital of Shu and use them as materials for me to practice my mounting skills.
When I came downstairs, my godfather and godmother also arrived, and I heard my godfather say: "The real owner is here, you can just ask him. I'm a layman, so I'm just looking for information in the past month. I'm so confused, I'm confused in many places." "My godfather is here? What's going on?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
“It’s about the Unicode thing you are doing.” The godmother said with a smile: “Your godfather wanted to find out, so he called your master, and then he was criticized for being ignorant and incompetent. Ask him to learn from you and Qiao Mu and keep up. The pace of the times, try not to be eliminated."
"I guess he can't tell the reason..." The godfather started to slander: "That's why he asked me about it, and he became angry."
"We don't quite understand this matter. I estimate that many students will ask after school starts." Zhao Shangzhong said: "And I have seen a saying before that Western characters only require twenty-six letters. The most commonly used character sets for our Chinese characters are More than five thousand, so in the information age, the Chinese character system is far less simple than the Western alphabet, and will be ruthlessly eliminated sooner or later."
"There is a saying," Xu Youzhi is a Chinese teacher, and of course he is also concerned about this: " But later I read the news report and said This can be considered an international cooperation, and I heard it is the most advanced in the world, right?”
“I’m a little confused. Doesn’t it mean that Chinese characters will be eliminated sooner or later? Why are there still organizations that want to cooperate with us? It’s also said to be the world’s leading technology ?”
“Yes, yes, today is an opportunity, give us some knowledge.” Godfather said, “If someone asks you in the future, it will be easier for us to explain.”
“Then I will. Let me tell you about this," Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
"First of all, it is not my credit that Shu University, Hong Kong University, Yale University, Microsoft, and the Unicode Alliance jointly established the Unicode Chinese Character Database Laboratory."
Zhou Zhi was very modest: "This is ours The unique advantages of Chinese characters”
