We know that in addition to being a "ten-year-old man" of wenzhi martial arts, the Qianlong Emperor was also a full literary and artistic youth. In addition to writing a collection of poems that can compete with the number of Tang poems on his own, he is also a painting enthusiast. Compared with writing poetry, the level of painting is still OK, and the paintings shared with you today are those painted by Qianlong.
It is said that when Emperor Wudi of Han visited Zhongyue Song Mountain, he found that there were three Han cypress trees in Songyang Academy, and Emperor Wudi of Han felt that they were tall and tall. So he decreed that these three trees should be named the Great General, the Second General, and the Third General, and after many years, the Three Generals had passed away. Only the Great General and the Second General remain. The two generals are the largest and the most upright.
When our young literary and artistic youth Qianlong ye was patrolling Zhongyue, he walked to Song Mountain and saw the Second General Han Bai, who was attracted by its charming posture. I can't take a step at once. So he called for pen, ink and paper to serve. So he made "Songyang Han Baitu" with the theme of the Second General. According to records, Qianlong painted a total of four paintings, one of which has been lost, two paintings are hidden in the Forbidden City, and one is circulated in the folk.
It is said that "the gold of the chaotic world, the antiques of the prosperous world", now the country's economic development, social stability, so that there are many collectors, TV programs have also caught up with this wave of boom, there have been a lot of treasure hunting programs. In Henan, there is a program called "The Gate of Huayu", which can identify the value of antiques for free.
In 2009, a brother in the local Zhengzhou came to the program group with an ancestral ancient painting from his family and asked experts to identify it. This painting is the "Songyang Hanbaitu" we talked about earlier, and the expert appraisal at the scene told the Zhu Yun brothers that this is an ancient painting, but it is not the original work of Qianlong. At the same time, experts privately found the brothers and said that they could talk to them privately about this painting, and experts said that this painting was not Qianlong's original work, and the market value of this kind of painting was worth tens of thousands of pieces. At the same time, he said that if they wanted to sell the painting, they could ask his contacts to help sell it. Finally, with the endorsement of Liu Yan's experts, zhu Yun brothers sold the painting for 170,000 yuan. So can things end like this? It wasn't as simple as you might think, and a year later, the painting appeared at auction.
When the painting appeared at auction, the starting price was 25 million yuan. Finally, it was sold for 87 million yuan. After learning this news, the Zhu Yun brothers thought that they were sold for 170,000 yuan, but now they have auctioned a high price of 87 million. Nature was very angry, thinking that the expert might have found someone to sing the double reed, tricking them into not understanding the painting. So they immediately went to the expert and asked him to give an explanation. But they replied that "it is very common for art auctions to appear in themselves."
Of course, the Zhu Yun brothers could not give up, so they collected evidence to sue this expert. It turned out that the experts who identified themselves had the same name and surname as another expert in the same field, but one was in Guangdong and one was in Beijing, so who they were really authoritative experts could not be known.
Experts are originally very good at people in a field, which is a positive word. However, the word did gradually develop into a pejorative term. Just because many people are currently "experts" and are irresponsibly identifying various antique cultural relics, no one can identify whether these experts are experts or not.
