Night Rain 丨 LuoAnhui: I was on the CCTV "Treasure Hunt" program

I was on CCTV's "Treasure Hunt" program

Roan will

I like calligraphy and painting collection, and inadvertently, I was on the CCTV "treasure hunt" program.

At the end of the twentieth century, through the introduction of a friend, I met an old man who was 70 and had no children and only one daughter. He quietly told me: "I have a masterpiece in my hand, I am old, I may be going to the grave, and I am ready to shoot."

I unfolded the work and exclaimed, "Wow! Zheng Banqiao's "Lanzhu" figure", my heart beat faster. Although the picture scroll is wrinkled and yellowed, the picture is clean and complete, poetry, books, prints and mounting, vertical shaft color, a look is the original frame, there is a sense of vicissitudes. In particular, at the sign on the back of the shaft, the inscription is "RongbaoZhai Gongshou Record, that is, the name of the person 'seal'", and the signature is also inscribed with "Purchased in Beijing in 1959". My eyes lit up, as if I had seen a treasure. I immediately suppressed my excitement and showed a "skeptical" attitude. One of the collectors I brought with me quietly also said to me, "Genuine." Next, the seller introduced me to the origin of the painting.

In 1962, life was very tight throughout the country, and all commodity grains were supplied according to the plan. The old man who sold the painting said: "The family who collected this painting, faced hunger, exchanged this painting with 30 kilograms of food stamps and two kilograms of oil and sugar tickets at my place. "This emotional introduction, I was moved. He opened the price: "The market price should be 500,000, and you are a local collector who takes half the price." "I saw that his offer was not high, and I felt that people were also very honest and honest, and I bought it happily."

I bought this painting very much, cherished it like a treasure, and occasionally hung it for a few days for my friends to enjoy, and this collection has been in my hands for more than 20 years.

In April 2012, CCTV's "Treasure Hunt" column entered Langzhong. My "Lanzhu" picture of Zheng Banqiao, in front of many "treasure offering" people, "cut off six generals through five features" and entered the recording site of the "treasure hunt" program. When I took my baby and came on the stage in a burst of applause, how excited, how fulfilling! In the spotlight, when I talked face-to-face with CCTV host Li Jiaming about the origin of this painting, I smiled and talked about it, which seemed very calm. Because I have performed on the stage of the commune, and I have won the titles of "advanced self-employed household" and "spiritual civilization self-employed" of the Chongqing Municipal Government, and I have also spoken at the commendation meeting, which is also a person who has seen the world. However, the treasure I am holding is for the national audience to see, whether this thing is true or false to the experts to decide, I still look a little uneasy in front of everyone. On stage, although I was talking about "Trump", I was fluent in dialogue with Li Jiaming. At the same time, I was sure I was holding the real thing. However, when Jiaming asked me twice how much my work cost, I did not answer positively. Honestly, what if it's a replica? Isn't it ugly before the people of the whole country? If it is genuine, it will be stopped. Jiaming respected my opinion.

At this time, Li Jiaming introduced the topic to the audience and asked them to evaluate my work. The audience had different opinions and different opinions. Support is 67% of the genuine audience. At this time, Liu Yan, an expert in treasure hunting, spoke. He went around the painting in a lot of circles, told some stories, listened and listened, and there were some subtle changes in my face. In the end, Liu Yan said that the work was a watermark woodcut of Rong Baozhai . However, it is still collectible. "Oh! It is a replica. "I was startled at first, but soon calmed down and seemed indifferent...

Backstage, when the "Treasure Hunt" column group interviewed me, I calmly said that when buying works by big masters, don't trust the story, study the style of the works of big painters, brushwork and art methods, learn more about traditional culture, and invite experienced collectors and appraisers to be staff officers in order to distinguish the authenticity.

Since then, I have collected calligraphy and painting works, never picking up leaks, and not listening to the stories of the origin of calligraphy and painting. Instead, it is done face-to-face with the hands of the calligrapher and painter, or the real appraiser is asked to identify. And we must continue to learn the knowledge of calligraphy and painting, see more, learn more, ask more questions, over time, we will cultivate the ability to identify true and false calligraphy and painting, in order to collect the fine works and authentic works of famous calligraphers and painters.
