Seeing the three words "Ping Fu Tie", Shen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Otherwise, this calligraphy is really too famous.
As mentioned above, the Zhang family has a vast collection that ranks first in Wuzhong, including many works by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi.
But the most famous piece in the Zhang family's collection is Lu Ji's authentic "Pingfu Tie".
This herbal calligraphy was written more than 1,700 years ago and has been revered by collectors of all ages as the best in the world.
In the history of calligraphy, the status of "Pingfu Tie" is much higher than that of "Lanting Preface".
Because it is the earliest ancient calligraphy that has been verified among the calligraphy works passed down from generation to generation, there is no dispute, and the real author can be verified.
If we use the realm in fantasy novels to classify, assuming that "Lanting Preface" is the king of ink, then "Pingfu Tie" is the emperor of ink or the emperor of ink.
The few lines of eighty-four characters on it are as obscure and difficult to understand as a heavenly book. Over the years, many collectors and calligraphers have tried to decipher them, but they all failed to understand the meaning.
After Zhang Chou collected it, he worked tirelessly to search for clues that could lead to a breakthrough. He even changed his study room into "Zhen Jin Zhai" and watched it day and night, finally identifying 14 characters. This shows that this old gentleman has great appraisal skills. How high.
Shen Yu slowly unfolded the copybook. This "Pingfu Post" has a total of nine lines and 84 characters.
It should be said that whether it is the original work preserved in the Palace Museum or all the copies in the past, as long as it is "Pingfu Tie", it has nine lines and eighty-four characters.
The content is very simple. It is a letter written by Lu Ji, a great writer and calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty, to a friend who was ill and difficult to recover from.
Because the fourth to eighth characters of the letter are: I am afraid it will be difficult to recover, so later generations called it "Pingfu Tie".
The ancient Yang Shoujing directly commented on "Pingfu Tie", which contains neither charming nor rugged style.
Shen Yu's calligraphy is pretty good, but he practiced running script and regular script. When writing the Lanting preface, he could copy two or three points of it.
When it comes to writing cursive script, Shen Yu is a primary school student.
Judging from Shen Yu's shallow appreciation of cursive calligraphy, this copybook is a very good copy.
The writing is ancient and the meaning is transcendent.
Like a sudden storm, a stone stirs up a thousand waves.
It's like a cool breeze blowing on your face, and the raindrops are still and there is no ripple.
Emphasis on both hardness and softness, that's it.
It is undoubtedly the best among the best copies.
It's just that Shen Yu always felt in his heart that this post was not the one that emitted the precious light just now.
First, he took out a strong flashlight and took a photo. Shen Yu immediately twisted the paper of the calligraphy with his hand.
"Hey!"
Shen Yu sighed heavily in his heart.
Sure enough, it's not this one.
Without it, this "Pingfu Tie" is made of rice paper.
The most important thing is Qing Dynasty rice paper.
Many people have questions. Paper looks similar in appearance. How can an antique appraiser identify whether this piece of paper is rice paper?
There are many methods, but the most important thing is the feel. Once you have more identification and experience, you will know by twisting it.
But visual inspection was not completely reliable after all, so Shen Yu took out the high-power hand-held microscope he carried with him.
As we all know, the main raw material for making rice paper is the bark of green sandalwood, so the most important basis for identifying rice paper is whether the paper contains green sandalwood fiber.
Observed under a microscope, it is undoubtedly rice paper.
At this point, some people will have more questions. You know that there is nothing wrong with rice paper. How do you still know that this rice paper is Qing Dynasty rice paper?
In fact, this is not complicated, because the formula of rice paper was improved in the Qing Dynasty.
Rice paper was invented during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, but it was very expensive at the time, so ridiculously expensive that it was a tribute-level existence.
Rice paper was also very expensive until the Qing Dynasty, so someone improved the formula and added straw to the raw material of sandalwood, which reduced the cost a bit, which can be seen clearly under a microscope.
The identification results have come out. Since it is rice paper from the Qing Dynasty, it cannot be the copybook that emits the light of dark blue pebbles from the Ming Dynasty.
So I have to keep looking.
However, this copy of "Pingfu Calligraphy" also has a high collection value. If sold, it should not be less than 700,000, so Shen Yu placed this calligraphy at his feet.
"Oh, brother, I'm sorry, this "Ping Fu Tie" is not for sale left by the old man. It is the kind that cannot be sold for any amount of money!" The thin young man suddenly put the copy of "Ping Fu Tie" at Shen Yu's feet. Post》snatched it.
"It's this book, it's this book. My grandfather's favorite book when he was alive was this "Ping Fu Tie". He originally asked me to keep it in mind, but I lost it. I finally found it this time. It can be considered that the old man has a spirit in heaven, thank you, thank you, brother, I really don’t know how to thank you!"
After saying these words, the skinny young man's eyes turned red, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Here, are you serious? Are you crying?" This operation of the thin young man confused Shen Yu. For a while, Shen Yu couldn't figure out whether what the other party said was true or false.
What this guy said was true, but he did it to himself when he picked out this signature worth nearly a million dollars.
To say it's fake, it doesn't look like it, let alone an ordinary person. Even a professional actor can't just cry and get into the mood right away.
Shen Yu spread his hands, with a bit of questioning on his face, "Boss, I selected this calligraphy and wanted to buy it. We have already agreed on the price just now. You can pick any piece of 80,000 you want. You don't want to sell it now." What should I do here? You can’t justify doing things like this, right?”
The thin young man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "This is the only thing left by my grandfather that cannot be sold. As long as you promise me, brother, you can make whatever conditions you want. So, you can choose any of the posts here, and I won't ask you for it again. Just take it for a penny!"
Shen Yu...
A skinny young man named Chu Xiaotian had a bad life. When he was three years old, his father was paralyzed in a car accident. His mother remarried and could only live with his grandparents.
His old man is a well-known local collector in Chen County, and he also runs several shops. However, in order to treat his son's illness, he can only sell one shop at a low price.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In the end, Chu Xiaotian's father was bedridden for many years and caused many complications, and no one could cure them even after spending a lot of money. He passed away when Chu Xiaotian was ten years old.
After that, Mr. Chu began to sell his collection to support Chu Xiaotian. Chu Xiaotian was also very successful. After graduating from college, he found a job as a deputy logistics director in the best local company. The salary was very high, so he lived up to his grandfather's upbringing.
Unforeseen circumstances bring misfortunes and misfortunes to others. Last year, Chu Xiaotian was fired from the company because he had a fight with someone in the company. Mr. Chu, who was only 70 years old, had a heart attack after hearing about it. He left without saying a few words.
The old man has collected antiques all his life and left behind many collections, most of which are calligraphy, paintings and calligraphy. The old man said a few words to his wife when he was dying.
Xiaotian doesn't understand antiques, so don't go to an antique store when you want to make a purchase. If you do, you will definitely be cheated.
There is a way to set up a stall and hang up Li Zhaodao's "Ten Thousand Mountain Pavilions", but you must not mark the price.
If someone comes to buy a painting, the price must be sky-high.
The minimum selling price of the painting is 20 million, and it will never be sold for less than 20 million.
If someone spends 20 million to buy that everything will be fine, the money can ensure that Chu Xiaotian has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and the remaining antiques can be passed on to future generations.
If the paintings are not easy to sell, then we should try our best to retain everyone who is willing to buy the paintings and try our best to let them read this pile of calligraphy.
No matter what the buyer picked it out, Chu Xiaotian would definitely not be able to sell it and would just regret it.
To put it bluntly, it’s just a lie and no selling.
Using this method, Chu Xiaotian has hired people to select three copybooks for "free" and sold them for more than 700,000 yuan.
But the money is not easy to earn. The last time a buyer was so angry that he punched him so hard that he lay down for half a month.
But it's okay if he can make money, so this time he used it against Shen Yu again.
