Wang Gang's courtyard
The qing dynasty's huge wealth and yan, the deepest impression left by people is his family property of up to 800 million taels of silver, from precious calligraphy and paintings to jewelry and antiques, which can be described as dazzling.
When it comes to the specific image of Hezhen, the first thing most people think of is Wang Gang's appearance in a series of film and television dramas such as "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan"
。
Not long ago, in a variety show, Wang Gang's courtyard in the center of Beijing was exposed for the first time. In the show,
Wang Gang's courtyard is full of antique treasures, in fact, there are many paintings by famous artists such as Qi Baishi and Fan Zeng
Wang Gang, a "professional householder of Hezhen", is also a collector
Wang Gang first played He Yan in the 1994 costume comedy "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and won the Beijing Television Art Chunyan Award and the 14th China Television Golden Eagle Best Supporting Actor Award for this drama, and since then, he has been out of control, starring in the "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" quadrilogy.
He played the role of Hezhen oil cavity slippery, random fickle, the role of the vivid performance, flesh and blood, by the audience jokingly called "Wasan professional household"
Wang Gang plays the image of Hezhen
In real life, Wang Gang, like his role as He Yan, is a collector with a wide range of interests. First of all, his courtyard is a historical and cultural treasure, as we all know,
Today, almost all the courtyards in Beijing are left over from the Ming and Qing dynasties, which have high historical and cultural value, and at the same time, the courtyards are also of great significance to the study of traditional Chinese courtyard-style architecture
It is estimated that Wang Gang's set of courtyards is worth at least 100 million yuan, which does not bring with it a variety of valuable antiques, such as a set of yellow pear tables and chairs placed in the center of the living room.
According to Wang Gang, this set of Huanghuali family has a history of more than 300 years.
More than 300 years of Huanghuali furniture
The scientific name of huanghuali is huangxiang huangtan, which is native to Hainan Island and is one of the four famous trees in ancient China. Due to the laws and regulations prohibiting logging in recent years, there are fewer and fewer Huanghuali furniture on the market, but because the reputation of Huanghuali is too loud, the majority of collectors want to have a Huanghuali product, so the price of Huanghuali furniture is also rising.
In 2010,
A Ming Dynasty Huanghuali chair, it has been auctioned for nearly 70 million yuan, this is only a chair, if it is a full set of tables and chairs tea stool, its value can be imagined
Such a set of expensive huanghuali furniture, placed by Wang Gang in the living room, can not only show the temperament of the owner, but also contrast with the courtyard. On the long strip next to this huanghuali furniture, there are three porcelain vases, needless to say, this is naturally also an antique level.

In the middle of this glass box shrouded,
It is a imitation cloisonné copper bottle produced in the Qianlong period,
The value is about 3 million yuan,
Placed on the left and right sides are the blue and white porcelain general jars from the Kangxi dynasty
, the value is around 1 million yuan. Seeing this, these two collections alone are worth tens of millions, but this is only the beginning, after all, what can be placed in the living room is certainly not the most valuable.
Precious calligraphy and paintings, literary ink treasure
After looking at the living room, the corner came to the study, where Wang Gang's favorite famous books and ancient paintings were located. On the main wall of the study, there is a calligraphy work,
Above are the four words "dashing still", this work is from Mr. Han Meilin, a famous contemporary artist and calligrapher in the mainland
The mascot of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, "Fuwa", was written by Han Meilin.
Han Meilin's calligraphy work "Dashing Still"
Although this work is precious, compared with several other works hanging on the wall, it can only be bowed to the wind. On the wall to the left of the study,
Hanging is a "Dongshan with Ji Tu", which is from the hand of the famous modern painter Fu Baoshi, and there is also a painting of Fu Baoshi and Fan Zeng
The value is difficult to estimate.
Fan was a famous painter and calligrapher in modern times on the mainland.
The price of his calligraphy works is as high as 80-2 million yuan per square foot
At an auction in 2012, Fan Zeng's famous work "Hua Tuo Wang's Broken Map" finally sold for 2.71 million.
Fu Baoshi is even known as the "North and South Two Stones" with Qi Baishi, and the price of his paintings for hundreds of millions of yuan is already commonplace.
On June 5, 2016, Fu Baoshi's "The King in the Clouds and the Great Si Ming" sold for a sky-high price of 230 million
In addition, the "So Many Delicacies in the Rivers and Mountains" in the Great Hall of the People is from Fu Baoshi's hand.
A study full of masterpieces
The value of the two artists who are so famous can be imagined, and the painting that you want to shoot is not enough to rely on financial resources, but also must have enough solid network resources. On the right side of this painting,
Hanging is a painting of flowers and birds, and according to Wang Gang, this painting is actually the original handiwork of Master Qi Baishi
And the origin of this flower and bird painting is not simple, it is Qi Baishi's painting given to the Spanish ambassador to China that year, the ambassador left his post and brought it back to China, but Wang Gang could not bear the master's works to go overseas, so he spent a huge amount of money to buy it back, although Wang Gang did not disclose to the outside world how much it cost to buy this painting.
However, based on the universal value of Qi Baishi's flower and bird paintings, Wang Gang should have spent at least tens of millions of yuan
He Yan's autograph fold
And in addition to these precious calligraphy paintings and antique porcelain,
Wang Gang even collected the recitals of He Yan's advice to the Qianlong Emperor
This is not a single cultural relic, but a precious historical material, which has extraordinary significance for the study and character of Yan, and it seems that Wang Gang has developed a special affection for Hezhen in his many years of experience playing Hezhen.
The guardian of contemporary national treasures - Wang Gang
According to Wang Gang, a large part of the reason why he has a strong interest in antique calligraphy and painting is due to the experience of playing He Yan, in that period of acting experience of playing He Yan, Wang Gang gradually had a gradual and in-depth understanding of the history and culture of that era, and then developed a strong interest in history and culture.
Ancient calligraphy, painting, porcelain and other cultural relics are the best medium for understanding and learning history and culture
The collection in Wang Gang's home only shows the tip of the iceberg for the public, and it is already of great value, and it is conceivable that his entire collection will look like. Wang Gang not only vigorously collects antique calligraphy and paintings in his life,
But also turn interest into work, going further and further down the path of culture.

He carefully covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and as he left, he bowed deeply toward the chime
