Seeing these dozen words floating above the orb, Liu Dong couldn't help but show joy on his face.
Although he doesn't know the specific value of this painting now, as it is a painting by Tang Bohu, one of the four famous Wu sects, and it has been passed down in an orderly manner, it should probably exceed one million.
Of course, if you want to determine how much this painting is worth, it is best to take it to Mr. Li from Chenxiang Pavilion for a detailed appraisal. However, although Liu Dong had such an idea in his mind, he wanted to wait for some time before talking.
.
After all, if he misses it frequently, although it can still be attributed to luck, it will always make people have some bad thoughts.
"When my appreciation level improves, maybe it won't be so abrupt!" Liu Dong thought to himself, and at this time, Liu Dong's desire to learn antique appreciation became stronger.
With a decision made in his mind, Liu Dong took Tang Yin's original painting "Spring Mountain Companion" into the Mustard Seed space, and then picked up a few books placed next to it again.
He first held it in his hand, and after counting it, Liu Dong discovered that there were four books in total. They were four of the four Confucian classics and the Five Classics, "The Analects", "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius".
Like Tang Yin's painting just now, the four Confucian classics are also very well preserved. Although the pages have begun to turn yellow, there is no obvious damage or insect infestation.
After picking up a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and putting down the other three books first, Liu Dong reached out and carefully opened the title page of the book. At a glance, he saw a huge seal that almost filled the entire paper. He was pressed by the seal.
At the bottom, there is a line of dragons and phoenixes, and more than a dozen regular script fonts, large and small.
"'Haidai Gaomendi, Yingzhou New Hanlin', in May of the Bingzi year, 'the treasure of Qianlong's imperial pen'!"
Especially this huge seal, Liu Dong couldn't help but shine.
He had just seen it with the aura in his eyes. The white light on the four books meant that they were indeed antiques and treasures. And the seal of Emperor Qianlong on them made the Analects of Confucius even more valuable.
In the Chinese antique world, as long as it can be related to the royal family, the price will definitely skyrocket. Liu Dong still knows this.
After reading it carefully, Liu Dong continued to turn back, and then the neat carved regular characters appeared in his eyes, but between the fonts, there were also annotations in small regular script. Although the words were small, the handwriting was thick and solid.
, The body is strong and strong, the writing is clear, and it reveals the style of a famous artist.
Moreover, there are annotations in small letters on almost every page in the back, but the content is slightly different.
In addition, Liu Dong also found several sheets of paper in the book filled with thoughts and experiences. It can be seen that this book must have been a favorite of the original owner's study.
"Liu Yong!?" On the last page of the book, Liu Dong found bell seals such as 'Liu Chongru', 'Shi'an', 'Riguanfeng Taoist' and 'Minghua'. Although he had never heard of the latter two,
He still knew about Liu Yong, a famous minister of Qianlong, whose courtesy name was Chongru and whose name was Shi'an.
"It seems that this book was given to Liu Yong by Emperor Qianlong!" Liu Dong guessed in his mind, thinking of the seal on the title page and the obviously different handwriting on the back.
At this time, Liu Dong also had more expectations for the next three books.
Therefore, after putting down the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand, he quickly picked up the other three books one by one and looked through them. He found that although there was no seal or promotion from Emperor Qianlong in these last three books, they did appear in
Several of Liu Yong's bell seals appeared in the Analects of Confucius and in the next three books almost at the same time.
And unlike the regular script used in the block printing of the Analects, the regular script in the next three books is almost the same as the small regular script annotations on the Analects. It is obviously written by one person. It is obvious that the three books of "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius" are written in regular script.
, are all handwritten by Liu Yong.
"As expected!" The fonts revealed on the orb in the mustard space confirmed his guess.
"Tang Yin's "Spring Mountain Companion Picture" long scroll, promoted by Qianlong, Liu Yong's interpretation of one of the four books, "The Analects", Liu Yong's handwritten Confucian classics "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius", although it is not known how much they are worth,
But at least there should be millions!" Liu Dong secretly guessed in his heart.
In fact, he still greatly underestimated the value of Tang Yin's paintings that have been passed down in an orderly manner. On June 1, 1989, Christie's auction house held the "Important Chinese Ancient Painting Auction" in New York, and the number one ranking was Tang Yin's "Mountains".
"Standing Day Long Picture" album. This album has a total of twelve pages, accompanied by Wang Yangming's calligraphy of Tang Xizi. It was estimated at US$150 million, but was finally sold for US$500 million, more than three times the estimate.
On May 30, 1990, Christie's in New York auctioned Tang Yin's "Moon Spring Picture", which was promoted by Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, Zhu Zhishan and other three masters. It was estimated at US$25 million to US$30 million, and it was finally sold.
paid a high price of 56 million yuan.
In November 1991, Christie's New York launched a painting similar to "Mountains Quiet and the Day Long", and sold "Spring Breeze Wine Cup" for US$72 million.
Even Tang Yin's small fans, such as the "Ancient Wood, Bamboo and Stone" fan and the "Bamboo in the Rain" fan, were sold for US$10 million and US$25 million respectively.
As for Liu Dong's possession of Tang Yin's authentic "Spring Mountain Companion" scroll, if it is properly promoted and put at auction, it will fetch at least a high price of more than 60 million U.S. dollars, and even 100 million U.S. dollars is not impossible.
Although Liu Yong's calligraphy cannot be compared with Tang Yin's paintings in terms of transaction prices at previous auctions, the Analects of Confucius printed with Qianlong's royal pen and bell, plus the third of the four Confucian classics, "The Great Learning", written by Liu Yong himself,
"The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius", if added together, they should be worth two million. (Of course, this is based on the antique market situation in 2000)
"I didn't expect that I could be so kind out of a moment of kindness. It's true that good people are rewarded!" Liu Dong secretly sighed in his heart after receiving four precious books and ancient paintings into the Mustard Seed Space.
However, at this moment, he felt a little guilty for the lady who sold him the antiques. After all, the value of these paintings and calligraphy far exceeded the money he gave. Of course, it would be fine if it were an ordinary person. Liu Dong picked up a leak.
, naturally he felt happy. However, the old lady was obviously in trouble and her family was impoverished, so after he made such a huge profit, he felt a little uneasy.
"When I get a chance, I will make up for that old lady!" Liu Dong secretly decided in his heart.
Immediately, he calmed down and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside, only to realize that it was already half past eight in the evening. Liu Dong, who originally wanted to take a bath, couldn't help but shake when he heard the sound coming from the living room.
He shook his head.
Immediately, she took off her clothes, raised the pillows, lay down on the mat, and then took out the thick appreciation note given to her by Mr. Li from the mustard space.
After the experience of Tang Yin's paintings and Liu Yong's handwriting, as well as his current supernatural powers, Liu Dong's interest in antique appreciation has become even more intense.
However, Liu Dong's continuous carving day and night for more than ten days had already made Liu Dong very tired physically and mentally. Coupled with a series of encounters this afternoon. Although he was excited, he made a lot of money, and he also picked up several big ones.
It leaked, but it also exhausted Liu Dong's little mental energy, so within half an hour of watching it, he couldn't resist the strong sleepiness and fell asleep without even turning off the light.
