Chapter 433: On-site Bidding
...The full name of "Zhang Menglong Stele" is "The Stele of Qing Songs by Zhang Fujun, the Prefect of Lu County". It was carved in the third year of Zhengguang in the Northern Wei Dynasty. There is no name of the person who wrote the inscription on the stele. There are twenty-four lines on the top of the stele and forty-six characters on the bottom.
The stele is engraved with the names of officials in ten columns. The main text on the forehead is "The stele of Qing Ode by Zhang Fujun, the prefect of Weilu County" in three lines and twelve characters. The ancients commented on his book "The Zhengfa Qiu has opened the door to Europe and Yu", and Xiang was praised by the world as "
Wei Monument No. 1".
In addition, Wei stele has various styles, simple and steep, smooth and smooth. It is the most outstanding and wonderful part among the stele inscriptions, epitaphs, statue inscriptions and cliff carvings in the past dynasties! It has been deeply appreciated by epigraphers of all ages from ancient times to the present. There is no single Wei stele.
The comment that he is not "refined" is widely circulated! And the "Zhang Menglong Stele" is ranked the first in Wei's stele, which shows that its inscription skills are exquisite.
What's even more rare is that in this huge rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Monument", which is three meters long and ninety centimeters wide, with a mounting length of nearly four meters and a width of nearly one meter and two, the four words "warm in winter and clear in summer" are clearly visible.
Especially rare.
Anyone who is familiar with epigraphy and stone inscriptions knows that the ancients often removed a bit of a certain character on the original stele or left some mark after each rubbing, so that the rubbings of future generations would never be the same as those of the predecessors.
Comparable, not to mention forged, it shows the good intentions of the ancients.
The rubbings of "Zhang Menglong Monument" also have such characteristics.
Therefore, whether there are four words "warm in winter and clear in summer" in the inscription is considered to be an important basis for identifying the ancient rubbings, modern rubbings, original rubbings and revised rubbings of Zhang Menglong's stele. If there are, it is an old engraving with exquisite workmanship, and if not, it is a re-engraving.
In comparison, the value of the latter is naturally much lower.
Obviously, the "Zhang Menglong Monument" collected by Mr. Dong is a real old rubbing. And there is a line of regular script inscription next to it, "The calligraphy is elegant and ancient, and the strange and the right complement each other. This is why the Six Dynasties are superior to those of the Tang Dynasty!"
The thumb-sized seal has two small seal characters 'Shou Jing'!
Anyone who studies calligraphy, painting, or epigraphy knows about this famous figure in the history of modern Chinese painting. Liu Dong even learned about this man's life from his father since he was a child.
Yang Shoujing was an outstanding historical geographer, epigrapher, bibliographer, calligrapher, numismatist, and bibliophile in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. He studied hard throughout his life and memorized extensive knowledge. He was famous for his ability in textual research.
A great scholar who integrated geology, epigraphy, calligraphy, coins, book collections and tablet bibliography into one body. He wrote 83 kinds of works in his life, and was known as "the first beginner in the late Qing Dynasty".
The representative work "Shui Jing Commentary" is called a monument in the history of Li studies.
The promotion of such a big man undoubtedly adds a lot of color to this Wei stele rubbing. In addition, there is the promotion and seal of Mr. Dong on it, which further enhances its value.
Therefore, after appreciating this precious rubbing of the Wei stele, many people present felt ready to move.
And Liu Dong himself is one of them.
Because he also likes calligraphy, but his family was poor when he was young and could not afford it. The inscriptions and rubbings that he could copy were very limited. After leaving his hometown and going out to make a living, the first thing he had to solve was survival. He had no time to do these frivolous things.
.But now, I have the time and energy. However, as the country protects precious inscriptions, good-quality rubbings of inscriptions cannot be collected in a short time.
Therefore, after seeing this rare old rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Monument", Liu Dong naturally had no intention of letting it go.
"Okay, it's still the same old rules! There is no reserve price. If you like it, just bid!" Ji Yun said loudly after putting the painting away.
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with gray hair in his fifties smiled and said: "It's rare that Mr. Dong is willing to take out this rubbing. I'll pay 20,000!"
"Lao Ji, you want to take away the things for 20,000 yuan, but we don't want to! I'll pay you 25,000 yuan!" Soon an old man wearing a gray coat and a long beard said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm sorry, you two! Everyone knows that I like calligraphy, so I won't let you do it this time!" After an old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and thin cheeks finished speaking, he immediately raised the price to 28,000!
But the price of 28,000 was not the end of the world for this precious "Zhang Menglong Monument". Under the competing bids of everyone, it soon climbed to 35,000 Chinese coins.
After reaching this number, although there are still many people bidding, the increase is undoubtedly not as exaggerated as before.
Moreover, the thirty-five thousand Chinese coins have already reached the actual price of the "Zhang Menglong Monument". Those who are still bidding not only really like this rubbing of the Wei Monument, but also have the intention of taking care of Mr. Dong's face.
"I'll pay fifty thousand!"
After a few old men raised the price to 40,000 with five hundred and one thousand, Liu Dong directly increased the price by another quarter.
Of course, doing this is not because Liu Dongren is stupid and has too much money, he also has his own considerations.
Gein, he has only been a member of the Quancheng Collection Association for a short period of time. He is a newcomer and is young. If he bids slowly like the others, he will inevitably have to compete with the one with the highest price in the end.
Even if you get this rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Monument", it will undoubtedly damage the other party's face. And it will also give you a bad reputation of disrespecting your predecessors!
Of course, maybe the other party is generous and doesn't mind this, but Liu Dong can't bet on the other party's temper. He doesn't want to offend people again as soon as he joins the collection association!
And this is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but a matter of how to deal with others that you must learn to survive in this society. In addition, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Therefore, Liu Dong decisively chose to spend more money, which not only showed his determination to obtain this inscription, but also showed that he only liked this inscription, not against anyone!
After hearing Liu Dong's bid, the heated atmosphere of everyone bidding suddenly disappeared. They had not had much contact with Liu Dong, a young junior who has become famous recently, and were not very familiar with it, so after hearing his bid, they were immediately moved.
No one said anything for a while.
But soon, the quiet atmosphere in the living room was interrupted, "I'm old, I'm old, no young people have the courage after all. Forget it, since Liu Dong likes it, then I give up!"
After hearing what the bald old man said, Liu Dong quickly said: "Thank you Ji Lao Chengquan. I have loved calligraphy since I was a child. When I saw this precious rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Monument", I wanted to buy it and copy it...!"
"Haha, forget it! It's a good thing for young people to be eager to learn!" Liu Dong's obedience undoubtedly gave the old man surnamed Ji a step forward, and it easily resolved the slightly awkward atmosphere before.
With the old man surnamed Ji taking the lead, the three or four old men who were still bidding just now nodded in unison. The atmosphere relaxed a lot, and as their contact with Liu Dong increased, they became more familiar with each other. By then,
Liu Dong will also slowly integrate into this group. When he participates in this kind of collection exchange meeting in the future, he will not be as hesitant and thoughtful as now.
Seeing Liu Dong smiling and talking respectfully to the seniors in the meeting, Mr. Dong and Mr. Wu sitting next to him looked at each other and nodded approvingly at Liu Dong. Obviously, he was very optimistic about this junior of his.
, secretly applauded for his mature way of dealing with people.
However, compared to their happiness, Wen Li, who was sitting next to her, secretly gritted her teeth when she saw the long-sleeved Liu Dong who was good at dancing. No one hated this bastard more than her, who had an inextricable grudge against her whole family!
Therefore, even if she had not thought about buying this rubbing of "Zhang Menglong Monument", she would not let Liu Dong easily do so. At the very least, he would have to pay a much higher price than he currently does.
Thinking of this, Wen Li, who had made up her mind, suddenly said: "I will pay 60,000!"
Her voice immediately made the originally relaxed atmosphere around her become tense again.
Most of those who are here today are internal members of the real collection association, like those bosses who want to be arty. Although they need them to authenticate antiques for themselves, they are not willing to come here to see the noble faces of these intellectuals. That is purely for the sake of giving.
Make it difficult for yourself.
Therefore, most of the people here today also participated in Liu Dong's entrance examination not long ago, and they have witnessed with their own eyes the grudges between him and the Wen family's father and daughter.
Moreover, due to their status as the vice president of the Wenzheng Quancheng Collection Association, they had no intention of persuading both parties to reconcile. After all, they did not have a deep friendship with Liu Dong, who had only been a member of the association for a short time.
The father and daughter have a certain fondness for each other.
Noticing the cryptic looks of everyone around him and the cold look on Wen Li's face, Liu Dong knew that it might be a little difficult to get this Wei stele rubbing today. However, he couldn't back down at this time. Wen Li was not the one
Just now, the seniors in other industries could win over, but Wen Li is destined to be Liu Dong's enemy, and the kind that cannot be resolved.
"I will pay 70,000 yuan!" Liu Dong said calmly.
"Eighty thousand!" Wen Li followed as expected.
"I will pay 90,000 yuan!" Liu Dong said again.
Neither party said much, they just made a simple offer, and the more they did, the more people around them understood the extent of the hatred between the two parties.
At this time, Mr. Dong and Mr. Wu also frowned. Wen Li's nonsense made them feel a little disgusted. However, for the sake of her father Wen Zheng, the two of them didn't say anything. Moreover, the other party was not bad either.
According to the rules, in principle, anyone who is a member of the collection association can bid.
In addition, the price of 90,000 yuan is far beyond the market price of the "Zhang Menglong Monument". Mr. Dong has no excuse to take back this precious rubbing of the Wei Monument.
