Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
introduction
The process of collecting is not the process of pursuing a fine product, but a process that makes you attach yourself to life, have an understanding of tradition, and remember the years.
With the development of society, people's quality of life has generally improved, and everyone will have some of their own interests and hobbies in their leisure time. Some people are very fond of collecting some calligraphy and painting works left by the ancients, and like to experience and understand the aesthetic taste and spiritual world of the ancients, which is also a common interest of people in high society. We also know that the ancients' calligraphy and painting works are old, quite precious, some are even more valuable, with the prosperity of this line, many merchants make some counterfeit and shoddy calligraphy and paintings, people who will not appreciate, it is easy to suffer big losses, over the years, there are many calligraphy and painting collectors on this paid a lot of "tuition".
Collect these calligraphy and paintings, one is to meet the inner needs for their own appreciation, the second is that when encountering difficulties, you can also sell these calligraphy and paintings to realize, there was once an old man, there was an ancestral calligraphy painting at home, for various reasons he wanted to sell, experts saw this painting, wanted to use 10,000 yuan to buy, but did not want the old man to accept, turned around but sold 19.8 million yuan. Today we will take a look.
The elderly sell ancestral calligraphy and paintings
In the turbulent period of the late Qing Dynasty, many of the treasures in the imperial palace were lost to the people, and this old man had a pair of calligraphy and paintings handed down from his ancestors, which can be described as the heirlooms of the old people, if it were not for emergencies, the old man would not sell this ancestral treasure. At that time, the old man's home encountered some problems, the need for a turnover of funds, helpless, this pair of ancestral treasures auctioned out, to solve the family's urgent needs.
For the old man, he only knew that this was an ancestral treasure and did not know the value of this calligraphy and painting, so he found experts from formal channels to identify the actual value of this painting. After meeting the experts, he told the source of the painting, and the experts gave the price of 10,000 pieces after some research. But at that time, 10,000 yuan could not solve the difficulties in the old man's home, and the two sides were deadlocked, and finally the old man chose to leave.
Expert appraisal value of 10,000, the old man turned around and sold 19.8 million
For the elderly, the most important reason for their painting is the need for a large amount of funds, and the expert's appraisal told him that the painting was only worth 10,000 yuan, although 10,000 yuan at that time was not a lot, but the old man firmly believed that his ancestral treasure could not be worth only this price, so he turned around and went to the cultural market. I believe everyone knows that everyone in the cultural relics market has everyone, and the buyers who come here every day are endless, and after the old man inquired about it here, he went to one of the most famous shops here, and wanted to let the Qin experts of this shop see this painting.
When the news of the "Ten Yongtu" was released, it attracted the attention of the entire antique community, and even the Palace Museum at that time heard about it. For this rare treasure, everyone competed in the auction hall, the competition was extremely fierce, and finally the Palace Museum auctioned it for 18 million yuan, plus various handling fees, and finally the transaction price of the painting was 19.8 million yuan. After the old man learned that his painting sold at such a high price, he was also very excited, not only solved the difficulties of the family, but also had such a large amount of money left in his hand, but also smiled and smiled happily.
The origin of the treasure
The treasure in the hands of the old man is extremely valuable, and the Palace Museum does not want this treasure to fall into the folk, so it wants to photograph this treasure and treasure it in the museum. This painting is from the hand of Zhang Xianzhi, a famous calligrapher and painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is his proud work and has been favored by many literati and inkers. After several turns, it also became a royal collection and was preserved in the imperial palace for the emperor to admire. It was not until the last emperor Puyi left that the painting was taken out of the palace and into the hands of the personal guards around him, that is, the ancestors of the old man, so that it was passed down from generation to generation before it reached the hands of the old man.
The value of cultural relics can not only meet people's spiritual needs, but also the urgent needs of the family when there are difficulties. Just like the old man, if it were not for the difficulties in the family, I believe he would not have made such a move, after all, this is an ancestral thing handed down from generation to generation, but the status quo does not allow it, but also thanks to the old man selling this cultural relic, and then let everyone appreciate this valuable treasure.
It is everyone's responsibility to protect cultural relics
People who like to collect antiques must polish their eyes and not be confused by the counterfeits on the market. Over the years, although we have discovered many valuable treasures, many of them are still buried in the ground and have not been discovered. Cultural relics have a very important role in our exploration of history, so protecting cultural relics, allowing the wisdom of the ancients to be passed on forever, so that we can experience the charm of these traditional cultures, is what we as sons and daughters of China must do.
Some experts will make some wrong predictions, which is also understandable, after all, they are not gods, and they only have a little more experience in this area than ordinary people. As Qian Xuesen said: The correct result is derived from a large number of errors; without a large number of errors to make a step, it will not be able to ascend to the high seat of the final correct result. Learning from mistakes is also a very valuable experience.
If we find these historical relics, we should pay attention to them and ensure that these cultural relics are not destroyed. Of course, the antique community also needs more masters who can distinguish the authenticity of cultural relics, only in this way can people be less deceived, so that everyone can fully appreciate the value of these cultural relics, and hope that these folk cultural relics can eventually find their own belonging.
The mainland has a long history of more than 5,000 years, and cultural relics can be completely preserved to this day, which plays a huge role in our study of history and the promotion of social development.
