Taking a closer look, there is a line of words under the seal: "Today I purchase the authentic "Picture of Fishes" by Xu Gao of the Southern Tang Dynasty for a hundred gold. In front of it is an inscription written in thin gold by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, counting crosses, and each word is worth a thousand gold."<

"Ah, this painting was collected by senior Zhang Chou!"
The owner of Zhang Chou's seal is naturally Zhang Chou.
Zhang Chou is not a modern person, but a person from the Ming Dynasty.
Although this senior collector is not as famous as the collection giant Xiang Yuanbian, he is still a top collector in the Ming Dynasty and a famous connoisseur.
The four steps of calligraphy and painting appraisal: observing the charm, examining the circulation, distinguishing paper and silk, and recognizing imitations were pioneered by this old gentleman.
Today's calligraphy and painting appraisers basically follow these steps when appraising calligraphy and paintings.
He wrote several records such as "Qinghe Painting and Calligraphy Boat" and "Real Records of Authentic Works", which contained a lot of knowledge about calligraphy and painting appreciation and had a great influence on later connoisseurs.
Zhang Chou is not ugly. Originally, Zhang Chou was not called this name. His real name was Qiande and his courtesy name was Shuyi. He changed his name when he was ten years old.
It is said that he was born in the year of Ding Chou, and his father Zhang Yingwen collected a seal of Zhang Chou, a famous counselor of the Qi State during the Warring States Period, so he changed his name to Chou. This also means that he hopes his son will grow up healthily. Generally speaking,
Giving names like Chou, Sheng, and Shuan to your son is mostly to hope that the child will grow up healthily. The so-called person with a light name will have more blessings.
Zhang Chou was born into a family of scholars and collectors, and his ancestors had many friendships with calligraphy and painting masters of the Ming Dynasty.
Great-grandfather and Shen Zhou, grandfather and Wen Zhengming were all good friends, especially the Zhang family and the Wen family, they were close friends.
Zhang Chou mentioned in "Qinghe Painting and Calligraphy Boat", "My family has been fond of painting since it was a high school. My ancestor Maoshi and Shoucheng and Xiucheng were called Mo's friends, so they evaluated the calligraphy and painting of famous officials in the country.
Don’t miss anything.”
This is said very domineeringly.
This means that the Zhang family has been fond of calligraphy and painting since Zhang Chou's great-grandfather and great-grandfather. His father had a very good relationship with Wen Zhengming's two sons, Wen Peng and Wenjia, so he has never been able to identify the calligraphy and painting of all famous Ming Dynasty painters.<
/p>
The entire Zhang family is known as: "The treasures of the family's collection of paintings and calligraphy are the best in Wuzhong."
Zhang Chou was smart since he was a child, and he was selected as a scholar in his teens. However, his official career was not very good, and he failed in the examinations many times. So he no longer wanted to be successful, and like his ancestors, he began to study and collect calligraphy, painting and antiques, and eventually became a generation of calligraphers and painters.
Collect, appreciate, and record everyone.
The more famous calligraphy and paintings of Zhang Chou's family include Lu Ji's "Pingfu Tie", Wang Xizhi's "Er Xie Tie", Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Tie", Zhang Xu's "Spring Grass Tie", Yan Zhenqing's "Liu Zhongshi Tie", Song Huizong's
"Plum Blossoms, Azaleas and Cranes", Huang Tingjian's "Fubo Shrine Poems", Mi Fu's "Baozhang Waiting for Visits", etc. His family has collected basically all the works of famous calligraphers and painters.
Including Zhan Ziqian's "Spring Outing" and Li Cheng's "Luan Xiaosi Picture" were also collected by the Zhang family.
"With the inscription by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and the collection seal of Zhang Chou, there is no longer any doubt that this painting is the original work of Xu Gao."
Seeing this, Shen Yu smiled at Han Yuanchun and said, "Congratulations to Brother Chun. This "Picture of Swimming Fish" is undoubtedly an authentic work by Xu Gao! Regardless of whether it is your painting or not, this is a good thing, but you are the last So that this painting can be returned to the uncle who has a sworn friendship with Mr. Han. Paintings of this level can no longer be sold in this market. It is safer to go to an auction, preferably an auction specializing in calligraphy and painting."< /p>
Speaking of this, Shen Yu paused and said, "Brother Chun, if possible, I hope you can introduce me to the owner of this painting. I want to talk to him and hope that this painting can be sold at a higher level." Photographed in ancient times."
After the auction, Mr. Dong will transfer the company to the younger generation in the family to run, and all the shares will be transferred to Dong Yun'er, who will only be the hands-off shopkeeper from now on.
In this case, it is better to try to submit this painting to Gaogu Auction.
Gao Gu will hold a top-notch calligraphy and painting auction next month. If Xu Gao's "Fish Fish" can be auctioned, it will definitely add a lot of color to the auction.
If you want to know the paintings of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they are also Tang paintings!
At this moment, Shen Yu might not even know that he was already thinking about Pei Yuqin everywhere.
Hearing this, Han Yuanchun's expression became even weirder, "Brother, my uncle has already said that this painting is an authentic work by Xu Gao of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and if you can tell it to me personally, then this painting will be his I’ll give it to you. In addition, you have to pay for my fifty thousand yuan commission.”
"Ah?" Facing Han Yuanchun's extended hand, Shen Yu was immediately confused.
Are you kidding?
Even though a large part of this painting has been repaired, it can be sold at any auction for 30 to 40 million yuan. If you meet someone who likes Tang paintings, it is not a problem to give 60 million yuan.
Is the other person crazy?
"I wonder what this senior's name is?" Taking a deep breath, Shen Yu asked his doubts.
"You must know him, he is the president of Dongjiang Collection Association, Lin Qingzhi, Lin Bo."
……
When Shen Yu put the painting away, Zhang Qiyun was still pretending to look at the so-called Han Dynasty jade cicada in his hand.
Seeing this, Shen Yu walked over directly and said, "Mr. Zhang, the jade cicada in your hand is a fake. Don't look at it. By the way, I personally feel that you don't need to regard me as a competitor."
Having said this, Shen Yu glanced at Zhang Qiyun. The two looked at each other, and Shen Yu noticed that a hint of pride suddenly emerged in the other person's eyes.
Shen Yu knew that the other party had misunderstood, because he was trying to make peace, so he smiled and waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you are better than me, but I am saying that you are not as good as me. If you want to take me as your If you are on the ladder of advancing in the Binhai Collection Association, then you really chose the wrong person."
The purpose of competing is to contribute to each other's associations and to stand out better. This is actually nothing, it is a normal thing.
But just now Zhang Qiyun came over and wanted to bid on this picture of swimming fish, and Shen Yu knew that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble.
It is true that the antiques in Treasure Hunting Market are bought by the highest bidder, but this Zhang Qiyun didn't even look at the painting and just said it was good. What else could this be but asking for trouble?
Okay, since you are deliberately looking for trouble, let's do it.
Zhang Qiyun shrugged, "Since you have opened up the matter, let me say a few words. I am no better than you, Mr. Shen. You are from the Shen family in Chuzhou, which is a famous family. Your grandfather is a top collector and connoisseur." Dude, not only that, you are also favored by countless big guys in Dongjiang and Chuzhou. They help you and protect you in every way.
"I'm different. My ancestors came from a back-and-forth background. Why do you think I'm a Golden Colonel? People's eyesight is bullshit. I'm the lowest of the low. Even if people praise me on the surface for my talent and intelligence, they still look down on me in their hearts.< /p>
"Uncle Feng is the only one here who really looks up to me and helps me sincerely. Naturally, I have to work hard for him. Therefore, I will offend you many times in the future. As for whether you forgive me or not, that is your business."< /p>
When he said these words, Zhang Qiyun's expression was full of coldness, and he looked at Shen Yu as if he was looking at a stone blocking the road that made him very unhappy.
Shen Yu was not used to his bad temper, "Unfortunately, you can't offend me, because you are not qualified to offend me, which means you are not worthy!"
"You???"
Hearing Shen Yu's extremely sarcastic output, Zhang Qiyun's already pale face instantly turned liver purple, his chest heaved, and his entire popularity seemed to explode, "You, you, you, how dare you Do you look down on me so much?"
"I know you're unhappy, but you have to hold it in. Who said you're inferior to others? I'd like to give you a piece of advice. Confidence is a good thing, but you can't be blindly confident! Even if you can't compare with me in terms of strength, you will definitely be in Jiangnan if you work steadily. The collecting world has its own place, so why follow that Ouyang Feng to make dirty money by reselling underworld artifacts?
"Besides, you are definitely taking the wrong step by stimulating me. I will show no mercy, and you will only lose miserably."
After saying that, Shen Yu said hello to Han Yuanchun, and then walked away slowly with the two security guards behind him.
There is another sentence that Shen Yu did not say to Zhang Qiyun, "Don't be dissatisfied. You can't compare your eyesight, and you still can't compare your luck. I have a golden finger for identifying treasures!"
