Jai no
Zhai (斋号), the name given to his book by a chinese scholar and elegant person, often becomes a synonym for the owner of the book. In addition to the word "Zhai", the ancient study room names also used halls, rooms, houses, buildings, pavilions, pavilions, xuan, houses, houses, caves, lu, nunneries, pavilions, mountain houses and so on. Most of the characters are the figurative symbols of the literati and scholars of the ancient five cars who have learned to be rich and rich to mark their pursuit of human composition, and from the jai number, you can appreciate its personalized mood and interest that is different from others. At present, the famous Jai number has become a big hit, and the collector's enthusiasm for the jai number continues to rise. In the spring auction of an auction company in 2015, Li Kedian's "Jiuteng Bookstore" was represented by four characters, and the transaction price was as high as 3.91 million yuan, which was worthy of the name of "a thousand words and a thousand gold". Last year, Yi Bingshou's "Sui Sex Caotang" set a record for the highest price at the Zhai no. auction, with an estimated price of only 800,000-1.2 million yuan, but the final transaction price was as high as 23 million yuan.

The main reason why the phenomenon of Zhai no fever will occur again in the past two years is that with the current collection fever, especially people's inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, and their understanding is getting deeper and deeper, for the pursuit of more traditional Chinese collectors such as Jai no. Secondly, for those who are now doing collections, if after a few years, they want to exhibit and display their own collections, then it is obvious that there is a more elegant Jai number as the title, which is definitely more elegant than someone's collection. For the collection circle of calligraphy and painting, the one who exerts the Jai trumpet to the extreme is Zhang Boju, one of the four sons of the Republic of China. In Zhang Boju's book "Cong Bizang Paintings", it is recorded that he collected in his long career: Zhan Ziqian's "You Chun Tu", Lu Ji's "Ping Fu Ti", Li Bai's "Shang Balcony Post", Du Mu's "Zhang HaoHao Poem", Fan Zhongyan's "Dao Fu Zan", etc., and almost every such fine collection, Mr. Li will have a new name, such as You Chun Master, Ping Fu Tang Master, Mr. Hao Hao, etc., he also called the studio "Ping Fu Tang", the living room "Yin Bi Guan", and the new "Zhan Chun Garden" of the house garden.
Partial transaction records of the Jai number
Today, we often find that people who operate calligraphy and painting transactions or collect calligraphy and paintings will have a so-called Zhai number, one source is to find the ancient Zhai number that matches their own collection or business, and the other is to request contemporary calligraphy or calligraphy and painting to enter to be a cultural celebrity, and write the corresponding Zhai number for themselves. Regardless of either way, the jai number carries the personal collection system and cultural background, from this point of view, these "jai numbers" are heavier than the so-called inspirational inscriptions, reflected in the market price is also relatively expensive, which is what we often call the "cultural value of the number" contained in the jai number.

"Jai" as a traditional Chinese cultural phenomenon, such a "Zai fever" actually contains the growth of China's collection power, the establishment of a collection system or vassal style, do not affect the collectors' enthusiasm for the Jai number, the next "Nine Vines Bookstore" or "Tongu Zhai" out of the time, but also as a "word and a thousand gold" contention.
