Chapter 53 Xiang Yuanbian's Joke
Once, Xiang Yuanbian got an iron qin with the word "Tianlai" printed on it. After Xiang Yuanbian got the qin, he couldn't put it down and put it in his library, and later named the building "Tianlai Pavilion".
Why is this iron harp so favored by Xiang Yuanbian? It turns out that it was "made by Sun Deng, a famous harp maker of the Jin Dynasty".
This Qin is of the Zhongni type, about 1.2 meters long, weighs ten pounds and six taels, and is forged from black iron. The whole body is not painted, and there are fine ice cracks on the top and bottom of the piano. There are two eight-pointers cast on the back.
The large character: Tian Lai, below it is the inscription "Sun Deng" in small seal script inlaid with gold wire, and the seal seal "Gonghe".
In the hundreds of years after Xiang Yuanbian's death, this piano was passed around and passed around. After extensive research, it was finally determined to be a fake.
The style, material, etc. are all wrong.
——The Zhongni style of guqin became popular only in the late Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty;
——For iron musical instruments, some complex technological problems were not solved until after the Song and Yuan Dynasties;
——The two inscriptions "Tianlai" and "Gonghe" on the iron harp are both in rectangular and regular small seal characters, with round pens in both the beginning and the end. This is completely different from the writing style of Jin people.
The actual production year of this guqin should be the Yuan Dynasty.
It must have been more than a hundred years ago from Mr. Xiang, and even at that time it would have been difficult to say it was an old copy.
Well, this Guqin now lives in the Forbidden City.
A lifetime of fame is ruined by crossing borders.
I really feel sorry for him.
…
As for the wooden goods yard and the purple sand flower pots, it is also very particular.
Woodware and porcelain have been closely related since ancient times, and there is a close relationship between porcelain and woodware in home furnishings.
The furnishings of the furniture are very particular, with bronze Taiyin, calligraphy and painting too light, and not too much jade and gold. Only porcelain is the most natural.
There are porcelain inkstones and cups on the table, porcelain bottles and porcelain carvings on the shelves, porcelain incense burners, porcelain pots on the screen, porcelain pillows on the bed, and porcelain plates in the cupboard.
Therefore, there is a saying in the antique industry that "porcelain is lined with wood, and wood supports porcelain". When displaying the two, neither can do without the other.
This is the case with flowerpots. The so-called "one pot, two scenes, and three stands" means that you must have several pots, and you cannot live without them.
"Brother Mou, you are an expert. If you take the trouble, what else can you say?"
Chang Xian said: "I don't know what the general rules are for inter-trade warehouses. Can you tell me about them?"
"To put it bluntly, this thing is to maintain a matchmaker and pull women. In today's terms in the entertainment industry, it is an agent. The old people in the industry do this, and both parties get a share of the reward..." Mou Duanming pondered for a while and said: "Those dowry bottles
If you look happy, take it as a reward!"
The pair of dowry porcelain was received from Aunt Hangu for 30,000 yuan at the time, and was worth forty or fifty thousand at most. Mou Duanming said it lightly, but Chang Xian knew that this favor was truly owed.
You must know that the dealers usually sell their own goods. If they sell the goods of those antique brokers, the nature is no different from that of the auction houses. The shops have to charge commissions, because the shops not only have to invest in channels and publicity, but also have to stand behind them.
The reputation of the store.
What is the auction house's commission?
One percent!
In fact, in the antique business, there is also a special word called "beating" when someone brings someone to your door to buy something. What are the rules?
It’s also 10% of the transaction price!
The items Chang Xian bought this time were of great value, so Mou Duanming only wanted a pair of bottles that were not from the official kiln, just to show off that he had not broken any rules.
"Don't talk about reward money, this is not a joke..."
Chang Xian patted his head, took out a painting from the bookshelf and said, "Oh, I have something else, and I was just thinking about finding a buyer. I just remembered that Brother Mou, weren't you collecting this? I'll give it to you.
…”
Mou Duanming opened the Go basket on the chess block, picked up a cloud and knocked it lightly on the chessboard. Looking at the treasure presented by this junior brother, even though he was well-informed, he was still dazzled today.
Chang Xian has been in the industry for a short time, and it is really incredible that he has received so many good things.
As for the reason, what does it have to do with him?
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and maintaining boundaries is the way to get along with friends.
"Tang Bohu's erotic palace?"
Mou Duanming narrowed his eyes: "Xiao Chang, you are serious, how much will you pay?"
"Hey, two thousand yuan."
"Okay, I accept your favor, four hundred thousand!"
"Too much. As you said, the current market price is just over two hundred thousand."
"It's only four hundred thousand, needless to say."
Mou Duanming's attitude was firm: "Tang Bohu's paintings have gone up too fast. Looking at this trend, I estimate that within five years they may be worth tens of millions."
Knocking another cloud: "I'll find someone for Mr. Mei's horn paintings. If you're not short of money, you can keep that Yuan Datou for yourself. It's also going up a lot. It's possible that it will increase tenfold in a few years."
.”
He stood up and said: "I'm too lazy to move that bottle. You are young and strong. Please send it to me sometime and wait for my letter!"
"gone!"
…
Mou Duanming was sent away.
Under the solitary lamp, several things were placed on the desk one by one, including a hat tube porcelain, a calligraphy sketch, and a seal.
These items, together with the set of signed copies of Yuan Datou, all come from the ruins under Yuan Hanyun's cemetery.
However, because it was really difficult to explain the origin, and just like Xiao Lang's paintings, Chang Xian was prepared to keep it himself, so he did not show it to Mou Duanming.
The hat tube is a typical Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain, with bright colors and elegant patterns, with the "Jurentang" mark on the bottom.
This is the so-called official kiln of the Hong Xian Dynasty.
On the body of the instrument are the words Die Lian Hua in running script:
"Mix wine and songs to get you drunk. Then you will miss lovesickness. Don't be annoyed by lovesickness. Every time you have less fun, why don't you send yourself home early?
Even though the wind and flowers are infinitely beautiful, it is almost dusk and they are scattered all over the world. Looking back at the people in the south of the Yangtze River getting older, I feel the same as the autumn grass.
Cold clouds."
The calligraphy is elegant and graceful without any craftsmanship. It is a rare piece of porcelain with calligraphy written by Yuan Hanyun.
Obviously, this is a hat tube customized by Jingdezhen for Yuan Hanyun.
"Well! Jiang Shaoqing is lucky!"
Chang Xian nodded with satisfaction.
This is the hat tube customized by Yuan Hanyun of the Jurentang model, and it is not the same as the one from the Longquan kiln last time.
…
But compared with the seal next to it, this hat tube is out of the ordinary.
The seal is about five centimeters high. The seal surface is an irregular oval that is two and a half centimeters long and one and a half centimeters wide. The body of the seal is plain and the back slightly follows the shape without any artificial decoration.
The color is bright, with faint radish silk patterns all over the body, like a necklace, which is extremely beautiful. In addition, the texture is warm and delicate, like gelatin, the color is elegant, calm and restrained, and it is truly top quality.
The seal is engraved with the words "In the depths of the cold clouds, I ask the scholar", and there is a margin on it: "Yichou Qiuyue played the sword for the boy Axin, Hanyun."
Recalling the collapsed hut, Chang Xian suddenly felt enlightened.
It turned out that it was the book boy named Ashin next to Yuan Hanyun, who had been guarding his master. Judging from the situation at the scene, it may have been that he had not married and had children for sixty years. He was like a lonely goose that had lost its flock, standing alone and shadowed, from black hair to white snow.
, from Huangkou to Dusk.
Chang Xian silently made himself a cup of hot tea, and his mind was in a trance. A young boy in black followed a young man in black clothes, from south to north, from birth to death.
A busy city, a high hall, a bookstore, an elegant garden, a solitary grave, weeds, wasteland... the scripts of the scenes kept changing, and finally fell silent in the world.
