Chapter 1273 The small ones don’t study, the big ones do transportation
“But which of the ministers is not a human spirit?” Zhou Zhi shook his head and smiled: “No one is fooled by this, everyone’s poems are praised without exception. The emperor loved art and was not rigid With a broad mind about authenticity and not mentioning who is authentic and who is fake, this has become a joke in history about the appraisal of calligraphy and painting. It was not until Emperor Jiaqing issued an order to compile the third volume of "Shiqu Baoji" that "Residence in Fuchun Mountain" was useless. The volume was renamed and officially included. "
"This is "The Emperor's New Clothes."" Lu Siyi said with a smile: "It happened in reality."
"That's it." Zhou Zhi said with a smile. This is not to say that fakes are not valuable; There are actually many Ming Dynasty masterpieces that have entered the imperial palace, such as the Forbidden City in the two places."
"If it goes up for auction, even Zi Mingjuan's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" will be fine. Tens of millions.”
It's only 1994, and the tens of millions level is the highest level of ancient calligraphy and painting.
There are many things in the museum. Seeing that Jesse was very interested in red sandalwood, Zhou Zhi explained it to him patiently and carefully.
In addition to those things from the Forbidden City, Demian Hall also has a very good set of teaching materials, which is a set of eighteen pieces of exquisitely crafted red sandalwood furniture from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.
These items include two pairs of top cabinets, two pairs of standing cabinets, a square table, a coffee table, eight chairs, an Arhat bed, a pair of bed cabinets, and a footstool.
Things are relatively "new", they are standard Su works, and they are also the last "glory" of Chinese furniture.
Moreover, the shape of this set of furniture is simple and bright. After experiencing the transformation from the simplicity and elegance of the Ming Dynasty to the complexity and gorgeousness of the Qing Dynasty, it has returned to its original nature and returned to the path of balancing practicality and aesthetics. The only shortcoming is that it is not similar enough. More deliberate attention is paid to geometric lines, which seems a bit "overdone".
Of course, these are perceptions that can only be formed through long-term contact research. It is impossible for Jesse to fully grasp it now, but for the characteristics of the material, oiliness, hardness, density, new and old oxidation changes Wait, the patina can be felt intuitively.
When the circle came to an end, Jesse Cheng said: "What you said before, especially the part where it is best to go to the auction to buy things, is exactly the same as what one of my teachers said."
"Do you have a collection teacher?" Zhou Zhi felt that for a big star like Jesse Cheng, most of his collections were entrusted to investment companies. He never thought that martial arts stars would have teachers in this field.
"Yes, he is also a very famous literati in our Hong Kong Island. You must know his name." Jesse Cheng was very proud: "Cai Nan Cai Gong, you have heard of it, right?"
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. This circle is really too small. Later generations said that if anyone wants to contact Bill Gates, he can only go through six people at most. Now it seems that six people are too many people.
To contact Bill Gates, I only need to go through Boss Li or the Microsoft Board of Directors; to contact Jesse Cheng, it seems that I only need to go through Cai Gong.
“I used to learn red sandalwood appreciation from Mr. Cai. Mr. Cai told me that if I want to learn this, I must visit three places.” Jesse Cheng said: “The first two places are, of course, the two Palace Museums. The third place is Demeitang in the capital.”
"Come today, it's really extraordinary."
"It's good to have someone who leads the way..." Zhou Zhi sighed: "Mr. Cai and I are not outsiders, but we just didn't expect him and you. The friendship is so deep.”
"Yes, he is a red sandalwood expert and recommended Demian Tang to me, so of course he knows you!" Jesse Cheng felt more considerate and friendly. "Our friendship... has nothing to do with Red Sandalwood." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "He is a big bookseller, and we only met because of books."
Jesse had no idea. I thought it was because Zhou Zhi wrote a book that Mr. Cai took notice of it and recommended it to him and published it, allowing Zhou Zhi to get the real first pot of gold in his life. He thought that It was Cai Nan who came to the mainland for a book signing. The two may have interacted before, so they directly ignored this part: "When will we go to the Forbidden City to see it?"
"I don't know if there is enough time." Zhou Zhi also said Very worried: "I came here mainly to take the exam."
"What test is Zhou Sheng going to take?" Lu Siyi asked.
"I'm going to take the GRE exam."
"Sheng Zhou wants to study abroad? Why don't you come to our Hong Kong Island to study? Use Hong Kong Island as a springboard, and it will be easy to go out again. I can be your guarantor." Jesse Cheng was very enthusiastic and behaved like a scumbag brother: "Then will we disturb you?"
Speaking in Cantonese: "One fate, two luck, three feng shui, four Ji Yin De Wu studies. Study while the weather is clear, don’t be like me, the younger ones don’t study, the older ones do transportation.”
Zhou Zhi’s Cantonese also came out: “ Brother you Now it’s hard work, but you can enjoy the food freely...”
“Zhou Sheng can speak Cantonese so well, there’s no problem in speaking English, he will definitely be able to handle it!” Lu Siyi gave Zhou Zhi a thumbs up! .
Many people came over that night, including Mr. Wang, Mr. Qi, and Mr. Ma. Then Mr. Ma invited Yu Hua. Zhou Zhi asked about Mo Yan and Liu Zhengyun, but it was those two who were sent to the northwest to collect news by their work unit.
Yu Hua looks a little unkempt, but this is also the norm for writers. The more times like this, the more "involved" he is in his works. Zhou Zhi knew that he created "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" 》has entered a critical period.
At this time, it is best not to interfere too much. The two simply said hello and said hello. Zhou Zhi asked him where he was creating now. Yu Hua said that because his son was born, he was alone. There was nothing wrong with him in Demian Hall, but it was not good if he had to take care of his family, so he moved out. Master Ma found him a place very close to Beijing Normal University. He could work on his creations at home or in the library. All very comfortable.
However, it is not his turn to care too much about others. He himself is the object of concern. Regarding the issue of oracle bone inscriptions, he and Wang Laoqi did not exchange one or two letters. Regarding the restoration of Shu brocade flowers, many resources must be shared with the Forbidden City and the National Museum. These are also matters of common concern to the three of them.
But Mr. Wang and Mr. Qi are more concerned about the official operation of the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Fund, which itself is one of Zhou Zhi’s tasks this time.
This is a big project that requires sufficient funds. Fortunately, the construction of the Shudu University Museum is nearing completion, which gives the Cultural Preservation Fund a good office environment.
In addition, the Shudu City Government also responded positively to the appeals from all parties and generously handed over the renovation project of the original integrated timber processing plant on the roadside of the First Ring Road in the western suburbs to Jinli Group for development.
The Timber Comprehensive Plant is a large place. It was originally an important waterway from Dujiangyan. Once, the wood from the snowy area in the west and the Dujiangyan forest came to the Shu capital through discharge, and was concentrated here for processing.
Later, the waterway was no longer accessible to ships, and railways were built. There was a West Railway Station in Shudu. Even most people in Shudu didn't know that it was located in the wood-healing factory.
