Chapter 301 Tian Huang, Precious Porcelain and Painting and Calligraphy
Chapter 301 Tian Huang, precious porcelain and calligraphy and painting
Seeing the seal of this Tianhuang stone, Liu Dong suddenly remembered that when he saw the records about Tianhuang stone, in addition to saying that Tianhuang stone is a treasure among Shoushan stone varieties. Because it has "luck", "longevity" and "tian" (
Wealth), the meaning of "yellow" (the emperor's exclusive color), possesses the six virtues of fineness, cleanness, moistness, greasyness, warmth, and solid seal stone, so it is called the "Emperor Stone" and became the national stone dedicated to worshiping heaven in the Qing Dynasty.
In addition to the introduction, it was also mentioned that when Emperor Xianfeng died, he gave Cixi a field of yellow royal seal, and Cixi was buried with him in the Dongling Tomb after his death. However, after Sun Dianying robbed the tomb, his whereabouts were unknown.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would be the one to get it, but now it's finally taking advantage of me!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
For this unique Tianhuang stone jade seal with deep historical value, it is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure. Liu Dong naturally liked it in his heart. So, after taking it in his hand and tasting it, he was impressed by the mustard seed space.
"Such a large piece of top-grade Tianhuang stone is rare!" Liu Dong thought.
After putting away Cixi's Tianhuang stone seal, Liu Dong went to look at the three pieces of porcelain.
Almost as soon as his hands touched it, the specific identification results of the three pieces of porcelain came out.
"Ming Yongle blue and white plum vase with hanging shoulder flower and fruit patterns!"
"Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup!"
And known as the "official kiln among official kilns", there are only two to three hundred pieces of imperial kiln enamel porcelain from the Qing and third dynasties in the world - the "Yongzheng enamel five-claw dragon pattern bowl"!
When talking about this, I have to mention two words ‘imperial kiln’!
The Imperial Kiln was an imperial porcelain factory dedicated to firing porcelain for the emperor during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Imperial Kiln Factory was officially established in the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. It was renamed the Imperial Kiln Factory during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. In theory, all Imperial Kiln products were returned to the emperor. Others
It is not allowed to be used. The uniqueness of Imperial Kiln porcelain determines that there is no randomness in its production. Craftsmen are basically not allowed to exert their subjective consciousness and create. For more than two hundred years in the Qing Dynasty, the production of Imperial Kiln porcelain was in compliance with the regulations issued by the inner court.
styles for production.
The concepts of "imperial kiln" and "official kiln" are not the same. Official kilns are kilns built by the government to produce ceramics. The flow of products is controlled by the government, part of which is used by the government, and the remainder can be freely bought and sold in the market. This kind of
Official kilns have existed since ancient times, such as Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain. Imperial kiln is a special type of official kiln, which was only seen in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is an institution set up by the central government in Jingdezhen specifically responsible for the production of imperial porcelain, and its products are exclusively for imperial use.
is its most striking feature.
Therefore, among the porcelains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, imperial kiln wares were more precious than official kiln wares.
At this moment, the three pieces of porcelain that Liu Dong saw were all imperial kiln wares specially used by the emperor, and were worth more than ten million. Even the last Yongzheng enamel five-claw dragon pattern bowl was worth even more.
.
Satisfied, Liu Dong put the three priceless pieces of precious porcelain into the mustard space. He thought to himself: "Although I took a bit of a risk this time, I came at the right time! Otherwise, I would have missed so many precious antiques. Then
Isn’t it such a pity!”
After looking at the porcelain, Liu Dong went to get the remaining calligraphy and paintings. After passing the previous items, Liu Dong was full of more expectations for the remaining two calligraphy and painting scrolls and an album, and the strong aura on them was also
It shows the excellence of these three things.
After Liu Dong opened the scroll, he quickly immersed himself in the joy of discovering the treasure.
"This is "Travel in the Autumn Mountains" by Dong Yuan, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. It is really unbelievable!" Up to now, there are no more than five authentic paintings and calligraphy by Dong Yuan that have been confirmed in the world. Of course, there are still private collections.
It is unknown. However, the current calligraphy work of Mi Pei, Jia Sidao, Dong Qichang and others was promoted and sealed by Dong Yuan. It has been passed down in an orderly manner and is undoubtedly authentic.
"The original calligraphy work of Cai Xiang, one of the Four Masters of the Song Dynasty, "Lychee Pu"!"
The second scroll in Liu Dong's hand is a calligraphy by Cai Xiang. Of course, this calligraphy scroll is obviously three pieces of double silk spliced together. The center of the painting is 18 meters long. If you include the extension, it will be close to 22 meters. If it is connected
If the two poles on the abdomen, back and heaven and earth are added together, the length of this scroll is close to 26 meters.
In the fourth year of Jiayou's reign (1059), Cai Xiang wrote the book "Litchi Pu" in Quanzhou, which is divided into 3 volumes and 7 chapters. The content includes the origin, ecology, functions, consumption, processing, storage, transportation and marketing of lychees, and introduces lychee varieties32
It is an important reference material for studying the history of litchi. It is also a rare authentic calligraphy work of Cai Xiang.
According to the promotion next to the authentic calligraphy and painting volume of Cai Xiang's "Lychee Pu", it can be seen that it was a man named Shen Chong who obtained the authentic volume of Cai Xiang's "Lychee Pu". Because he loved Cai Xiang's calligraphy, he specially hired someone to transfer the three volumes.
Lychees were spliced together to create this huge authentic regular script of Cai Xiang's calligraphy.
What’s even more difficult is that because this book on litchi is originally a popular science book, there are many small illustrations introducing litchi.
"National treasure, this is a real national treasure!" Liu Dong sighed and put away this huge volume of Cai Xiang's original calligraphy.
The last antique is a flower album by Wu Changshuo, one of the "Four Masters of the Shanghai School in the Late Qing Dynasty", with 16 pages in 8 pages! It is also a valuable item, but it is much inferior to the previous two.
But despite this, Liu Dong still felt very satisfied.
After the seven priceless antiques inside the upper safe were removed, a black sandalwood box appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes.
He already knew what was in this box. What Uncle Li and the others wanted to get from the middle-aged man named Wang was the contents of this sandalwood box.
After bringing it over, Liu Dong opened the metal buckle on it, and then dozens of thick cash checks appeared in front of Liu Dong in a box no bigger than a primary school textbook. The numbers on the cash checks were various, and there were more than 100 cash checks.
Twenty million, even less than a hundred thousand, and these checks are the auction proceeds that the middle-aged man named Wang received from the auction just now. It was just because the time was too short that the money on them had not been withdrawn.
Liu Dong took out the checks and counted them, there were about sixty-five, and the total amount of all the checks was about 65.8 million. For Liu Dong, this was another windfall.
Of course, this number is not the largest number. After Liu Dong opened a layer of red silk on the ground floor of the box and then removed a thin layer of partitions, two more checks appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes.
It was said to be cashier's checks from two banks, one from UBS and one from JPMorgan Chase. The two bankers' checks together were worth US$120 million.
Seeing these two checks, plus the 50 million US dollars I got from Uncle Li tonight, as well as the half ton of gold and jewelry and jade here, as well as the more than 60 million from tonight's auction, and the remaining insurance
The scattered millions of US dollars and millions of Chinese coins in the cabinet totaled more than 210 million US dollars and 1.5 billion Chinese coins. In one night alone, Liu Dong made his fortune rise.
Nearly double.
Thinking of this number, Liu Dong's mind immediately came to a famous saying that has been circulating in the world for a long time - 'Kill people and set fire to gold belts, build bridges and pave roads without corpses!'
"Hey, why did you think of this? I'm fine now. I don't want to kill people or set fire. What happened tonight was just forced into helplessness!" Liu Dong kept reminding himself. Of course, the joy of getting a large amount of money is no matter what.
It can't be hidden no matter what.
After putting these cashier's checks and cash checks into the mustard space and making sure they were not left behind, Liu Dong closed the safe and walked back to the living room.
Smelling the strong smell of blood here and the corpses on the ground, Liu Dong couldn't help but frowned. If these corpses were left alone, they would not be hidden here for long. By then, a major case involving more than 30 lives would be revealed.
There will be many disturbances, and it is very likely that he will be involved in it. This is what Liu Dong does not want to see.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong also had an idea, and then he began to move all the corpses here to his mustard seed space. Now, after being blessed by incense and wishes from many Buddhist temples, Liu Dong's mustard seed space has reached a length of eighty meters.
Width and height, but what he couldn't figure out was that the coverage area of his relic Yuanguang stopped growing after reaching a radius of 100 meters. No matter how he tried, it had no effect. In the end, he had no choice but to temporarily
lay down.
Next, it took two minutes to collect all the corpses in the entire underground space, as well as the clothes, furniture, and bedding that could reveal their identities. After cleaning up the blood stains on the ground, Liu Dong found the bathroom here and changed
I put on my clothes and took a bath.
After washing away the bloodstains all over his body and the anger left after the murder, he looked at it again with the relic Yuan Guang. After feeling that there was nothing left, he came out from the corridor on the mezzanine of the wall.
Then he put away the corpses outside, cleaned up the blood stains, and finally took the 'Chao Guoding' to the mustard space. After almost erasing all traces, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction.
The reason for doing this is because Liu Dong understands that as long as the bodies of these people cannot be found, they are considered missing. There are tens of thousands of missing people in the country every year, for various reasons, and it is not a big case.
Compared with the heinous murder case that killed more than 30 people, it is really insignificant.
"But dealing with these corpses is also a problem!" Liu Dong couldn't help but frowned when he noticed more than thirty corpses in a corner of the mustard space.
However, he can't think of any good solution for the time being, so he can only let them stay in the Mustard Seed Space first. Fortunately, the things in the Mustard Seed Space are under his control, and he will not allow these corpses to destroy his antiques.
"It's time to leave!" Looking at the sun rising high in the sky, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel lazy. Although he didn't rest all night, Liu Dong didn't feel tired at all. (To be continued, please search Piao.com.
