Since the "Treasure Hunting" program became popular in 2003, countless experts and similar programs have sprung up like mushrooms, watching more, and everyone has gradually realized that not all experts are reliable, and some experts will deliberately reduce prices to make profits for themselves and deceive ordinary people who are not familiar with cultural relics.
To put it in layman's terms, Zhang Xian is as talented as Su Dongpo. He was 82 years old that year, and in order to commemorate the ten poems written by his father Zhang Wei, Zhang Xian, regardless of his old age, drew the scenes written in his father's poems with a stroke of his pen. The landscape figures in this painting faithfully reflect the life of the Northern Song Dynasty scholars, and the historical value is naturally self-evident.
During the Qing Dynasty, the Ten Yongtu was hidden in the palace, and the Qianlong Emperor once wrote an inscription on the painting: "Recite Fen and write wonderfully." "However, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this painting disappeared, and many cultural relics experts tried to find it, but they found nothing for a long time." Until the end of the 20th century, an old man held his ancestral treasure and went to a treasure expert.
There is no doubt that the treasure here is the Ten Arias. The old man did not leave a name, only that his surname was Li and was from the northeast. In 1992, the old man was more than 70 years old, he looked at the 7 children in the family, and then looked at the ancestral "Ten Arias", and did not know who to pass on the painting to. In desperation, the old man decided to sell the painting for money.
He took the painting to Beijing in a car and found a cultural relics appraisal company. At that time, the experts of the treasure knew that it was genuine, but the old man asked for 8 million, and he rolled his eyes and said to the old man: "This painting is an imitation fake, worth 10,000 at most." "Under normal circumstances, ordinary people may believe it, but the old man is more shrewd, and he holds the painting and turns his head and leaves.
Three years later, the old man appeared again in the "Antique Street" Glass Factory in Beijing. At that time, Qin Gong, an appraisal expert at the Beijing Hanhai Auction Company, mysteriously entered his office and asked him to identify the value of the Ten Yong Tu. Qin Gong looked at it carefully for a long time and honestly told the old man: "This is the true handiwork of Zhang Xian in the Northern Song Dynasty." ”
Originally from the Forbidden City, the "Ten Yong Tu" returned to the Forbidden City. The old man surnamed Li also returned to his hometown in the northeast, and his children were overjoyed to learn that "Ten Yongtu" had sold at such a high price. Today's "Ten YongTu" is still hidden in the Palace Museum in Beijing, if the old man had credulously trusted the unreliable expert, I am afraid that the national treasure would not have been able to "go home" smoothly.
