"If the mountain does not turn, the water is turning, the water is not turning, the cloud is turning, the cloud is not turning, the wind is turning, the wind is not turning, the heart is not turning, the wind is turning, the wind is turning, the wind is not turning, the cloud is turning, the cloud is not turning, the water is turning, the water is turning, the mountain is turning..." Na Ying's song "The Mountain Does Not Turn and the Water Turns", although it is a bit like a tongue twister, but it also shows the wonderful fate of the world, just like my indissoluble bond with the world-renowned collector Mr. Shi Guihe, after more than ten years, I can still meet in Nanchang, which can not help but sigh.
On that day, I was invited to Mr. Shi Guihe's mansion as a guest. Take the bus from Qingshan Road, and arrive at the Shi Mansion in a daze.
It is a magnificent five-storey building, with a single door and a lofty atmosphere. The scene in front of me scared me a lot, and I suspected that I had walked into the National Museum, a huge space, cold lighting, a glass cabinet, a Bogu shelf, which was full of priceless treasures, gold, silver, copper and iron, wood and stone ceramics, from ancient black pottery, bronze, to modern and modern famous calligraphy and painting, it can be said that there is everything.
I seem to have entered the Grand View Garden, so nervous that my hands and feet have nowhere to put them, for fear that a stumbling will knock down the porcelain bottle and overturn the Bodhisattva, then I will be bankrupt and even a few lifetimes I can't afford to pay for these treasures of Mr. Shi.
Mr. Shi led me into a tea room to sit down, the chair was also an antiquity, I was sitting in danger, not daring to move, for fear of crushing an antiquity, a great crime.
The tea room is full of antiques, and the walls are hung with paintings of Bada Shanren, the ink color is quaint, the atmosphere is vivid, and it is amazing. In the Eight Great Hometowns, what a fate it is to be able to put your eyes on the paper to appreciate the Eight Great Paintings! Mr. Shi said that these are the eight major paintings that have returned from Japan, and the framed paper and ayako are all authentic Japanese pasting techniques.
Mr. Shi Guihe is a world-renowned collector who lives in Los Angeles, USA, and is originally from Nanchang, China, and serves as the chairman of the Belt and Road Cultural and Trade Promotion Association, the vice chairman of the Global Artists Alliance, and the president of the Global Art Company in the United States. Born in a family of collectors, immersed in the industry for more than 40 years, he has woven more than 10,000 pieces of treasures, spanning more than 5,000 years, especially famous for its complete and precious porcelain, including the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, the Qingbai porcelain of the Liao Jin and Yuan dynasties, the official kiln porcelain of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, the contemporary Mao Zedong 7501 special porcelain, the famous art porcelain of celebrities, the purple clay pots and ornaments of the Ming, Qing and modern masters, etc.
The first place on the left, I think the readers have already recognized it! Do you take a closer look at who he is? Mr. Shi Guihe (first from right)
Mr. Shi invited me to visit the ancient artworks of overseas repatriation displayed in the Shi Mansion floor by floor, where do I dare to visit? I don't understand it either! Mr. Shi took out a piece of news on his mobile phone, a blue and white dragon pattern Yuan blue and white porcelain vase, which was worth more than 100 million. The Shi Mansion also has a similar Yuan blue and white porcelain vase, which is really staggering. Mr. Shi personally took out the porcelain vase and asked me to take a photo with the antiquities from thousands of years ago.
Seeing that I was particularly interested in calligraphy and painting, Mr. Shi asked his wife to bring out the manuscripts and paintings of Huang Binhong, Qi Baishi, Ren Bonian, Xu Beihong, Wu Guanzhong, and other masters of modern and modern painting, and let me hold them in my hand and read them carefully. When I was young, I fell madly in love with painting, but I didn't have any painting materials for reference, so I could only copy and train according to the patterns on the matchbox.
Now, I can sit in the pile of old papers of the master's paintings and look at them carefully, slowly savoring them, not only figuring out the lines, but also analyzing their ink color, not only appreciating their charm, but also feeling their strength, I really don't know which life is the blessing of cultivation.
Happiness came so suddenly, I spent almost the whole afternoon admiring the paintings of my predecessors, and I didn't stop until Mr. Shi called his nephew for dinner.
Mr. Shi's nephew led me upstairs, and took this opportunity to take the elevator to look at it floor by floor, each floor is an ancient work of art, as far as the eye can see, each one is a national treasure...
For decades, Mr. Shi Guihe has devoted himself to collecting precious ancient works of art that have been lost in China. With his own strength, he guarded the soul of the nation, cared for the treasures of Chinese civilization, and went through great hardships to transport these precious ancient artworks back to China and take care of them carefully. Mr. Shi intends to invest in various parts of China, build cultural museums, and carry out national art tours and special exhibitions.
According to relevant data, there are 4,692 museums and memorial halls in the country, including 3,582 Chinese museums and 1,110 non-state-owned museums. A large number of cultural relics are collected by the people, which is also an important cultural resource for cultural self-confidence, enhancing national cohesion, and implementing the strategy of "Chinese culture going out", and is an important part of national cultural resources.
In the era of digital economy, the capitalization of ancient artworks collected by the private sector - on the basis of authenticity, right and value, realize financial value, become liquid assets, and gradually become a supplement to gold, become a national monetary credit endorsement, included in social assets, wealth credit system, so as to realize the circulation, credit and financial nature of ancient artworks. Therefore, whoever can own as many ancient works of art as possible will have more wealth. The era of great prosperity and development of art collection is quietly coming!
In a hall on the fifth floor, there are arhat beds, bodhisattva sculptures, etc. The aura of grace and magnificence came to the face, which was shocking. Among them, there is a huge Luohan bed, which is similar to the emperor's throne in the Forbidden City, with a high backrest, like a firewall of the Hui school building, and many dragon patterns such as two dragons playing with pearls are carved on the backrest.
I finally couldn't hold back, and I also sat on the Luohan bed in the Shi Mansion, sat cross-legged, and asked Mr. Shi's nephew to help me take pictures... After coming down, I felt a little regretful in my heart, remembered many folk taboos, and gave birth to a lot of anxiety and fear.
Who would have thought that when I woke up that night, I had a dull pain at the intersection of my back, right waist and buttocks, and in the middle of the day, the pain intensified, and I realized that curiosity killed the cat, and the consequences were very serious.
This sudden pain is really incomprehensible. For more than 50 years, I have never experienced low back pain, which reminds me of the scene when I was a child living in the neck of a dog in Poyang Lake. The locals call this sudden low back pain a "cold arrow" shot by the father-in-law of the land, and it is necessary to invite the most famous local Tulangzhong-"one-handed" master to personally go out and use his ancestral acupoint guidance technique to carefully condition the pain and pull out the "cold arrow" shot by the father-in-law of the land.
At that time, every family lived in a thatched hut, and the members of the club did not shy away from inviting Langzhong to see a doctor if they had a pain or something, especially the ignorant cubs who watched the slang, and the adults would not blame.
The master of "one hand" in the dog neck is very good, and he is best at dealing with incurable diseases such as numbness of hands and feet, cold limbs, etc., no needles, no medicine, and hand to disease, so he is praised as "one hand" by the villagers.
Time has passed, and the only master in the neck of the dog who was famous and famous has long since disappeared, where should I go to seek medical advice? So, I quickly tried to contact my neighbors in the old days and inquired about the whereabouts of the only master in the Tulang back then...
Fortunately, on the road of endless people, although the only master of Tulang in the neck of the older generation of dogs is nowhere to be found, fortunately, he finally found his only disciple in the room, the inheritor of the new generation of one-handed acupuncture point guidance technique in the neck of dogs. After three to five days of acupuncture point guidance, my low back pain receded like a tide, and I finally got out of the sea of suffering.
This time I was injured by the "cold arrow" of my father-in-law, and perhaps I can only blame the world-renowned collector Mr. Shi Guihe's chair, which is a genuine antiquity of the prince and the prince and the emperor, and it is really not something that my fellow civilians can sit on.
This is exactly what it is: the big bed is heavy, and I am blessed. Curiosity kills the cat and provokes no disaster. Shame shame shame!
The scenery of the world, the shadow of the past, have become gossip and talk after dinner. I write characters, abandon the false and empty, and reject the same thing. Pay attention to the direct view of life, listen to the words of the heart, talk about the experience of life, and restore the heroic envoys of all kinds of people in the world in that year and month... Restore the flesh and blood, crying and laughing living beings! Undertake to write personal biographies and family histories.
