...Opening the second piece of canvas, there are also wooden boxes stacked in the same way, but the wooden boxes are not as neat as those containing gold and silver, and the sizes are also different.∈♀
Liu Dong randomly picked one of them, and after holding it down and opening it, two exquisite porcelains surrounded by some decayed hay appeared in front of him. The rich aura shining on the porcelains under the light of the relics made Liu Dong eager to pick them up one by one and appreciate them.
Ichiban!
The 'Pastel Gourd with Flowers and Butterfly Patterns' from the Qianlong imperial kiln of the Qing Dynasty is 22 centimeters high. At the Sotheby's Hong Kong auction that just ended last year, there was a piece similar to the one in Liu Dong's hands. Its auction price, plus commission, was
The price is HKD 30 million!
The other remaining piece is the 'Glazed Red Water Dragon Pattern Plum Vase' from the Yongzheng Official Kiln of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the price of this Yongzheng Official Kiln is not as high as the gourd statue from the Qianlong Imperial Kiln, but the current market price is 2 million.
And it is still rising.
After looking at each piece carefully, Liu Dong put away the two pieces of porcelain and opened another box again. There was only one piece of porcelain in this box, but it was not small. It was a 75 cm diameter one.
Ming Dynasty Jiajing New Year's Blue and White Pine, Bamboo, Plum and Fortune Plate'! It was priced at 900,000 Hong Kong dollars at Sotheby's Hong Kong auction in 1988. The current market price is estimated to be more than 5 million!
However, except for the "Qianlong Imperial Kiln Gourd Zun" at the beginning, the remaining two pieces of porcelain, among the porcelains looted by the Japanese at this moment, can only be regarded as medium in terms of rarity, and they are even more valuable than them.
There are also three items from the Five Famous Kilns of the Song Dynasty, namely the 'Official Kiln Pink Green Glaze Dragon Wash', 'Official Kiln Bile Vase' and 'Ge Kiln Kwai Kou Plate'. These three items are among the Five Famous Kilns. None of them are inferior to the others.
Ten million.
Including these three pieces of the five famous kiln wares of the Song Dynasty, Liu Dong already has five official kiln wares of the Song Dynasty in his hands! If Mr. Li’s collection is added, it becomes ten pieces! In terms of this item alone, it has exceeded 95% of the domestic wares.
The above museums!
Moreover, in addition to these three pieces from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, there is also a "Jin Dynasty Jun kiln sky blue glaze purple spot bowl" among the precious porcelains at the moment, which is also valuable.
There are 7 pieces of precious Yuan blue and white flowers here, the most precious of which is a 40 cm high 'Yuan blue and white flat vase with broken branches, peony and peacock'. The price of it at Sotheby's Hong Kong auction in 1988 was HK$4.89 million. Now it is definitely
It’s worth more than 15 million!
In the past, there were 285 pieces of Yuan blue and white, imperial kilns and official kilns of the Ming Dynasty, and more than 900 pieces of folk kilns. One example is the 'Ming Dynasty Hongwu Year Underglaze Red Peony Pattern Jade Pot Spring Vase', which is worth more than ten million.
A total of 87 pieces including the "Yongle blue and white round flower gourd vase with flat belly and ribbon" of the Ming Dynasty, and the "blue and white three-friend plate of Chenghua Suihan of the Ming Dynasty"!
As for the imperial kilns of the Qing Dynasty, the official kiln wares were more recent because they were more recent! There were 649 pieces, while the folk kiln wares were nearly 2,000!
The rare ones such as the 'Kangxi Blue Background Enamel Imperial Poetry Bowl of the Qing Dynasty', the 'Yongzheng Doucai Sanduo Bowl of the Qing Dynasty', the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty Pastel Hexagonal Hollow Fruit Pattern Hexagonal Vase, etc. are also valuable.
.
These 4,000 pieces of porcelain plus the 1,500 pieces of porcelain that Liu Dong received from Zhao Rongcheng, plus Liu Dong’s own earnings, as well as the accumulation in Mr. Li’s collection and the porcelain in Wang Kun’s secret room, all of these
All added up, the number of porcelains in Liu Dong's hands exceeded 8,000! Although high-quality imperial kiln and official kiln wares only accounted for one-fifth of them, which is far less than that of large museums such as the Forbidden City. However, it is not as good as the above.
More than enough, not bad compared to the collections of major provincial museums!
"Oops. It's already so late!" After Liu Dong simply counted and stored the porcelain, he looked at his watch and found that the time had already reached seven o'clock in the evening!
If he doesn't go back, I'm afraid Wang Qiang and Yan Qingqing will be anxious if they can't get through to him! At the moment, Liu Dong didn't bother to look in detail anymore, and directly put all the remaining six rows of large wooden boxes into the mustard space, and then returned along the original road
On the surface, of course, Liu Dong was so excited that he also collected a large number of weapons, such as grenades, heavy machine guns, mortars, 150mm heavy-duty howitzers, etc., and put them in his mustard space. Although the latter weapons Liu Dong
I can't play it alone, but it's still very good as a collection.
In addition, as a man, Liu Dong, like most men, also has a soft spot for heavy firepower weapons!
After closing the outermost steel door again and covering the rocks in the mustard space again, Liu Dong found his Land Rover and drove back to the city. It was originally his turn to spend the night at Yan Qingqing's place tonight, but there were still
Without counting the large number of treasures, Liu Dong didn't go to anyone, but drove to the Crouching Tiger Mountain Villa.
Although Wang Qiang did not move here because she was close to work, Liu Dong had slowly begun to fill up the manpower of the entire manor, and even transferred Guan Ping, who was originally responsible for the security of the furniture factory, to come here.
This Zhou Jun's deputy is a retired sniper from the special forces. He has good abilities in all aspects, and he is cautious and steady. Liu Dong, who is responsible for the security of the manor, is also relieved. However, relatively speaking, Guan Ping's combat effectiveness is not
It's not too strong, so Liu Dong plans to find a few people who know martial arts from his senior brother, and transfer Mu Gang to the manor. With Mu Gang here, unless he is a master at the peak of Dan Bao Realm or Transformation Realm,
No one can defeat him.
Putting the car in the garage, Liu Dong walked into the main villa in the backyard. Although the manor, which covers an area of more than 16,000 square meters, has been filled with 15 security personnel and 25 servants responsible for health, it still seemed very empty.
After saying hello to Guan Ping, Liu Dong walked to the study room on the second floor of the villa, closed the door, turned on the light, and began to count his harvest.
In the past, porcelain was followed by Liu Dong’s favorite paintings and calligraphy. Due to preservation issues, there were not as many paintings and calligraphy as there were porcelains, but there were still nearly two thousand pieces.
Among these calligraphy and paintings, Ming and Qing calligraphy and painting accounted for 80% of them, including Xie Huan, Shang Xi, Ni Duan, and Li Zai in the early Ming Dynasty, the "Four Schools of Wu Family" in the mid-Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang and Lan Ying in the late Ming Dynasty; and the early Qing Dynasty.
The four monks, the four kings, the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" in the mid-Qing Dynasty, and the authentic paintings of Ren Bonian, Wu Changshuo, Zhao Zhiqian and many other masters of the late Qing Dynasty are listed one by one!
With the addition of these paintings, the Ming and Qing part of Liu Dong's calligraphy and painting collection has become a complete sequence. Basically, all the authentic works of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are included! It's just that the quantity and quality are still different from the top domestic museums!
Of course, compared to Ming and Qing calligraphy and painting, paintings before the Yuan Dynasty are more precious, but there are only 147 of them. The most precious one is the "Picture of Eighteen Scholars in the Qin Mansion" by Yan Liben of the Tang Dynasty, with the rich red aura on it.
, and the identification results of the relics all show that this is the authentic work of Yan Liben!
There is no need to describe who Yan Liben is. Anyone who knows something about Chinese history knows about this famous master of traditional Chinese painting in the Tang Dynasty.
The "Picture of Eighteen Scholars in the Qin Mansion" was painted by Yan Liben in the ninth year of Wude. It shows the portraits of 18 literati counselors such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui under King Li Shimin of Qin. They are all based on their portraits and depict their appearance.
Each person's figure, appearance, clothing, age, expression and other characteristics are vividly and concretely depicted in the scroll.
The famous portraits of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty were also created by this master. Unfortunately, due to the wars of thousands of years, the results of another large-scale political portrait creation activity after the Qilin Pavilion and Yuntai Painting of the Heroes of the Han Dynasty have been lost.
exist.
But this "Picture of Eighteen Scholars in the Qin Mansion" that excited Liu Dong can still give a glimpse of Yan Liben's superb painting skills and the heyday of Tang Dynasty clothes!
Second only to Yan Liben's "Pictures of Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Mansion" is "Pictures of Wen and Birds" by Huang Quan, the founder of flower and bird painting in Western Shu in the Five Dynasties. This painter is good at painting flowers, bamboos, feathers, Buddhism, figures and landscapes, with comprehensive skills.
, he became a master of flower-and-bird painting in later generations with his paintings of "wealth and honor". The scroll of "Sketches of Rare Birds from Life" that has been handed down is one of the second batch of 17 calligraphy and paintings banned from overseas exhibitions! This shows the preciousness of his works.
Second only to Huang Quan's "Wenqintu" is Guan Tong, who was also a painter of the Later Liang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. His landscape paintings can quite express the characteristics and majestic momentum of the mountains and rivers in Guan and Shaanxi. Mi Fu of the Northern Song Dynasty said that he was "the most famous painter of Gongguan River".
Guan Tong is able to surpass Jing Hao's pattern in landscape painting and show his own unique style, which is called Guan Family Landscape. His painting style is simple, with distinctive and prominent images.
The conciseness is touching, and it is known as "the simpler the writing, the stronger the spirit, the fewer the scenes, the longer the meaning."
Guan Tongxi's life scenes of autumn mountains, cold forests, villages, wild ferries, secluded people, and fishing villages and mountain stations can make the viewer feel as if they are actually there, "as leisurely as if they were in the wind and snow of Baqiao, or when they heard the apes in the Three Gorges."
, has a strong artistic appeal. Commentators said that his achievements in his later years were more outstanding than those of Jing Hao. He was a powerful successor of Jing Hao's painting school, and he and Jing Hao were both called Jingguan. People in the Northern Song Dynasty regarded him and Li Cheng,
Fan Kuan was listed as one of the "Three Families", which had great influence.
At this moment, the painting in Liu Dong's hand is Guan Tong's authentic painting "Picture of Spring Mountain and Xiaosi"!
In addition to these three paintings, there are 2 works from the Five Dynasties among the remaining 147 paintings! They are "Herding Horses" by the master of the Five Dynasties and the Later Tang Dynasty, and "Fairy Doctor" by Ruan Gao of the Fifth Dynasty!
Among the remaining 142 paintings, there are 54 paintings and calligraphy from the Song Dynasty, some of which are copies of the handwritings of previous famous artists, and some of which are authentic works of famous artists, such as Guo Xi's "Ancient Woods and Mountains" and Liang Shimin's "Liu Xi Xinji"!
The remaining 88 paintings are all paintings from the Yuan Dynasty, including the authentic paintings of Huang Gongwang and Wang Meng, one of the four great masters of the Yuan Dynasty!
In addition to the 147 paintings before the Yuan Dynasty, there are also 115 calligraphy scrolls before the Yuan Dynasty!
