Chapter 32 Stamps
Bai Zirui held those books as if he had found a treasure, and said respectfully: "Okay! Uncle Hou, I will inevitably cause trouble to you in the future, so I'll leave it alone first."
Baolanhou looked at his figure gradually walking away, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "This boy is quite interesting! He actually gave me the trick of refusing to welcome you!"
Bai Zirui returned to Zhengyangmen to find Uncle Li. The two began to walk around the streets to collect the waste. Finally, they rode a tricycle and pulled a cart full of waste back to the recycling station. After sorting the collected waste, Return to the courtyard after get off work.
After dinner, he first reviewed the high school courses without hesitation, and then with great excitement, he took out a few antique appreciation books given to him in tatters and started reading them.
He first picked up the "Antique Appreciation" with the cover written in the 31st year of Guangxu's reign and read it. Antiques were called antiques in the old days, which means miscellaneous. "Bone" here refers to the essence of the past, and "Dong" is
The meaning of understanding is to understand the essence left by the ancients.
Later, some people wrote antiques as antiques. The word antiques was first seen in the book "Yi Yao" written by Zhang Xuan during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty: "The word antiques are dialects, and there was no fixed word at first."
Dong Qichang's "Thirteen Theory of Antiques" in the Ming Dynasty said: "Miscellaneous ancient artifacts that are not classified into categories are called antiques." During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, antiques were called "antiques", which is the abbreviation of ancient antiques.
After liberation, some people proposed that antiques be changed to cultural relics in view of the saying in the Book of Books: "Playing with people loses morality, and playing with things loses one's ambition." The term cultural relics is still used today.
Playthings may not necessarily lead to despondency, and the charm of playing with and appreciating ancient relics contained in the word antique cannot be replaced by other words, so we still call "ancient cultural relics" antiques.
There are many types of antiques, mainly including calligraphy and painting, inscriptions, writing brushes, ancient ink, famous paper, ancient inkstones, seals, bamboo carvings, wood carvings, tooth horns, lacquerware, silk embroidery, gold and silverware, coins, ancient idols, ancient bricks and tiles
, ancient books, jewelry, Buddha statues, jade, pottery, porcelain, bronze ware, bronze mirrors, cloisonné furniture, snuff bottles, purple clay ware, etc.
"Appreciation" in antique appreciation means identification, screening, analysis, research, and judgment. "Appreciation" means appreciation, which is the combination of knowledge, feelings, associations, etc. obtained through identification with personal experience to make comprehensive judgments and evaluations.
Antiques are like ancient playthings, but they are not actually playthings. Antiques are the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and the cultural and artistic soul treasure of the Chinese nation.
Chinese antiques and cultural relics are the epitome of Chinese civilization and the carrier of the history and culture of the Chinese nation. They interpret specific history and culture with their wide range and unique charm.
Bai Zirui read several books. After his soul piercing, he became sharp and clear, and had a photographic memory. He kept the knowledge in the book firmly in his mind. After all, these are theoretical knowledge on paper. Only when he encounters antiques can he combine theory and practice.
Combine them to form your own unique style and point of view.
In the ten-year storm that is about to end, the number of antiques and cultural relics destroyed by radicals is like the sand of the Ganges. It makes people sad and regretful every time they think about it.
When he browsed the news in later generations, he often saw news that in the 1970s and 1980s, antiques were treated as scrap and sent to recycling bins and destroyed by ignorant people. He wanted to do his little bit to save these treasures of Chinese civilization.
.
When Bai Zirui was sorting through a pile of junk mail at work the next day, he unexpectedly found stamps that could bring him sky-high wealth. Two of them were the most famous wrong-print stamps, "The Country's Mountains and Rivers Are Red." News he had read in his previous life
Learned during consultation.
This stamp was sold at sky-high prices in two auctions: in the autumn auction in 2012, it was sold for 7.3025 million yuan, and in 2020, it was sold for 10.5 million yuan. The final price after adding handling fees was 12.075 million yuan.
There are also two misprinted stamps of No. 54. The commemorative stamps of No. 54 "Fifth Congress of the International Federation of Students" were originally scheduled to be issued on September 1, 1958. There are two in the set, with face values of 8 cents and 55 cents respectively.
Because the original version was designed to be the "Fifth World Student Congress" before it was issued, the relevant departments urgently notified the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. After receiving this notice, the Issuance Bureau of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications decided to withdraw all printed stamps and invalidate them.
However, because some post offices issued it in advance, a small amount of it was sold on the market, and it was sold for 582,400 yuan in the autumn auction of 2009.
The discovery of the stamps made him ecstatic. He carefully tore off the stamps from the envelope and put them in the drawer of his desk. Others who saw them just thought he had a hobby of collecting stamps.
.
He was greatly encouraged by the discovery of stamps. In his eyes, the recycling bin was a treasure mountain, with a large number of priceless treasures waiting for him to discover.
In the next two days, there was nothing eye-catching for him to discover. After all, antiques are hard to come by.
Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang, who had stayed in the hospital for three days, were also discharged and returned to the courtyard. When Jia Zhang returned to the courtyard, she looked at the house opposite and began to curse and yell.
"It's all my fault for this little brat surnamed Bai. If it hadn't been for him, my sweet grandson Bangge wouldn't have been caught. He still hasn't been rescued, causing me to be admitted to the hospital and spending so much money. It's really a murder of a thousand cuts.
s things.
No! Our family can’t afford this money, Huai Ru, let’s go and discuss with the uncle to find a way to get the little brat named Bai to pay for our hospitalization.”
Qin Huairu nodded with a gloomy face and said: "Okay! Let's go and find the first master to discuss it."
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang came to Yi Zhonghai's house, and the aunt looked a little unkind when she saw them coming. It was because of their family's affairs that Lao Yi fainted and was hospitalized.
Seeing her arrival, Yi Zhonghai asked with concern: "Huairu, sister-in-law, you are here. I am about to discuss the stick issue with you. Please hurry up and ask Bai Zirui to write a letter of understanding, otherwise it will be too late.
."
Qin Huairu said with a sad expression: "Master, our family of five has been living in a difficult situation, and it has only been thanks to the help of you and everyone that we have slowly improved over the years.
As soon as Brother Bai came back, he was arrested without asking any in-depth reports, and we still don’t know what will happen in the end? How can we, the orphans and widows, live like this?"
Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "Huai Ru, let's hold a general meeting of the hospital tonight. I want to see if he still has justice and conscience in his heart. Your family is in such difficulty and yet you still bully your orphans and widowed mothers.
You also have to make some sacrifices. The food that Silly Zhu brings back from the canteen should be given to Lao Yan and his family! As for Lao Liu, I will give him my position as the first uncle and let them support us."
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard Yi Zhonghai say that she would give her food to Yan Laoxi's family, she was about to speak. Qin Huairu winked at her and shook her head. Her lips squirmed and she swallowed the words.
Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu started taking action and visited the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui respectively. They first went to the home of the third uncle Yan Bugui.
Yi Zhonghai said righteously to Yan Bugui: "Old Yan, under the joint management of us and the three uncles, Lao Liu, our yard has been peaceful and calm in the past few years, and everyone has been living a stable life.
But things have turned upside down since Bai Zirui came back. He disrespects the elderly and loves the young, and beat up BangGeng. BangGeng only stayed at his house for one night, but he actually reported the crime and asked the police to arrest him.
