Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
Speaking of every cultural relics lost overseas, our experts' hearts are extremely heartache, especially when every time an auction is held abroad, we see that those cultural relics that originally belonged to China are competed for by foreigners, which is really an indescribable mood!
The cultural relics we want to introduce next are unique in the world, and it has a very shocking reputation in the world, that is, the "King of Fang". In ancient times, it refers to the wine container, which generally appeared in the middle of the Shang and Spring and Autumn Periods, and this "King of Fang" is really not simple, it is 84.8 cm high, the whole body is covered with cloud thunder patterns, as well as a variety of animal face patterns, dragon patterns and other ornaments, in a word, that is: majestic and solemn, exquisitely carved, magnificent, absolutely an artifact of the late Shang Dynasty!
Mr. Giselle, the world's top antique dealer, commented on the "King of Fang", that is, you will be completely shocked by it, it is simply unbelievable, it is really love it.
This Shang Dynasty wine vessel is "Dish Heaven Quan Fang Wei", when you hear the name, you feel that it is very domineering, worthy of the bronze ware of the Shang Dynasty period, which is engraved with 8 characters of the inscription "Dish Tianquan as the father of his own respect Yi".
But this "Dish Tian Quan Fang Zhen" has gone through hardships, has lost overseas several times, when the experts are about to shoot it, the result is to kill a rich Frenchman halfway through, and finally he spent 90 million to shoot away, fortunately, 13 years later, this "Pan Tian Quan Fang" returned domineeringly under the leadership of our Hunan Provincial Party Committee.
According to rumors, "Dish Tian Quan Fang Wei" was accidentally dug up by Hunan compatriots in 1919, and later bought by a businessman, but only bought the body of "Pan Tian Quan Fang Wei", but the lid was not bought, which is the main reason why the body and lid of "Pan Tian Quan Fang Wei" were separated for 90 years.
Later, this "Dish Heaven Quan Fang Ji" was bought by the Japanese collector Asano Meiji, and since then it has been lost to Japan, during which Asano Meiji has also come to China many times to propose to buy the cover of the "Dish Tian Quan Fang" utensils, but naturally it was rejected by the Hunan Provincial Museum, in fact, the Hunan Provincial Museum also proposed the idea of buying the body, but the result is the same, everyone is reluctant to give up part of their collection.
In 2001, the "Dish Tian Quan Fang Wei" body into the New York Christie's Auction Company, and then this matter naturally attracted domestic attention, when the auction was to participate in the auction was the Shanghai Museum and Poly Art Museum experts, did not expect that the emergence of "Dish Tian Quan Fang Wei" caused a great sensation, because it is really too shocking.
As a result, that time the "Dish Heaven Quan Fang Wei" was taken away by a Frenchman with 90 million yuan, and since then, China has once again lost the opportunity to be a national treasure. Fortunately, 13 years later, "Cai Tian Quan Fang Wei" once again appeared at Christie's Auction Company in New York, and this time Hunan Province vowed to take it, so it was fully prepared at that time, and united with Hunan cultural and museum circles, business circles and collection circles to go to New York to negotiate.
After arduous negotiations, this "Dish Tian Quan Fang Wei" was successfully bought by us, as for how much money was spent, it is true that no news was announced, but I believe it must be extremely frightening, and finally this "Dish Tian Quan Fang Wei" body and the lid of the Hunan Provincial Museum collection were finally completed, and the 3,000-year-old Shang Dynasty "Pan Tian Quan Fang Wei" finally returned domineeringly, which is really gratifying and congratulatory!
Nowadays, this "Dish Heaven Quan Fang Zhen" is definitely a national treasure in the Hunan Provincial Museum, attracting countless tourists to worship every day!
