Chapter Nine hundred and forty-two 'Women's History Proverbs'
Chapter 942 "Picture of Admonitions of Women's History"
…
Looking at the roaring river and the endless roar of the super underground river, Liu Dong took out a coin from his pocket and said, "Leave it to God, if it's heads, search the upstream first, and if it's tails, search the downstream first!"
When the coin thrown by Liu Dong fell, Grandpa Mao's face was so clear!
"Grandpa Mao bless you!"
After muttering something, Liu Dong quickly put away the coins, then turned the steering wheel and drove the speedboat upstream. Fortunately, the water in this underground river was not too fast, so it did not have a great impact on Liu Dong's driving.
However, in order not to miss clues as much as possible, Liu Dong must not be able to drive in a straight line, and snake maneuvering is the best way!
To Liu Dong's expectation, there were many forks along this underground river, some of which were even underwater, forming a strong undercurrent that was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Liu Dong had the relic Yuanguang to detect the danger in advance and avoid it.
Otherwise, even if Liu Dong is strong enough to save his life, the ship will definitely be doomed!
In this way, Liu Dong searched for about 5 kilometers all the way up. After two hours, he almost lost confidence. When he was about to turn around and search downstream, a splendid scene suddenly appeared within the search range of 100 meters of the relic Yuanguang, as if
The sun is in the sky, and the candles illuminate the world with their soaring precious light!
In excitement, Liu Dong exerted force with both hands, and the speedboat suddenly accelerated and almost hit the stone wall next to it.
When Liu Dong hurriedly slowed down the speedboat and drove to the shore, he didn't wait to find the entrance to the cave. He directly used the relic Yuan Guang to open a cave, put away the speedboat and walked in!
After Liu Dong rushed to a place where the spiritual light was as rich as the sun, a huge cave appeared in his eyes. The cave was arc-shaped, with the highest point exceeding 80 meters, and the underground diameter reached about 100 meters. And in
This giant cave, which covers an area of more than 30,000 square meters, is neatly stacked with large and small wooden boxes! And each wooden box has a rich aura of different colors!
With excitement in his heart, Liu Dong walked to the nearest wooden box and directly used the relic Yuanguang to take away the cover! This method is undoubtedly better at protecting the antiques inside than violent disassembly!
And the contents of the wooden box did not disappoint Liu Dong's care.
In this wooden box, which is about the size of a 20-inch suitcase, the first thing that comes into view is some decayed hay, and among these hay are three pieces of exquisite porcelain.
Seeing these three pieces of porcelain, the first thing that came to Liu Dong's mind was the famous saying from Zhou Dunyi's "Love of Lotus": "It comes out of the mud but is not stained, and when it touches the clear ripples it is not demonic"!
At this moment, these three pieces of porcelain gave Liu Dong this feeling!
After taking a deep breath and calming down his excitement, Liu Dong carefully picked up a plum vase about 40 centimeters high in the middle of the wooden box. The plum vase was pink in color and covered with exquisite flowers.
, the shape of the vessel is regular and the color is full. Anyone who has studied porcelain can see that this is the most authentic official kiln!
When you open the bottom of the bottle, you will see the four-character inscription "Imperial System of Qianlong" on the glaze, which is as white as jade and astonishingly delicate!
The moment he saw this plum vase, the name immediately came to Liu Dong's mind!
There is no doubt that this rouge ground pastel flower plum vase from the Qianlong imperial kiln is second only to the enamel color among all Qing Dynasty porcelains!
Moreover, the manufacturing process of the bottle is very complicated. After the bottle body is burned, the craftsman then outlines a detailed pattern on the bottle body. Then he burns different pastel colors on the flower pattern. This work not only reflects the craftsmanship of the palace craftsmen at that time.
In addition to the ingenious skills, it also reveals Emperor Qianlong's unique personal vision and taste.
More importantly, the plum vase's plump shape, rich pastel glaze and perfect craftsmanship make it one of the most coveted treasures among the surviving Qianlong official kiln porcelains.
Liu Dong has no doubt. As long as he is willing to put this 'Qianlong Imperial Kiln Rouge Ground Pastel Flower Plum Vase with Twisted Branches' at the auction, then it will definitely not be less than 40 million Huaxia coins!
Of course Liu Dong would never sell it, as that would be a waste of money for him!
Such exquisite and incredibly valuable porcelain, of course Liu Dong would not put it back again!
After naturally entering the mustard space, Liu Dong picked up the exquisite porcelain on the left again. This was also a piece of pastel porcelain, and it was also a Qianlong imperial kiln!
"The Qianlong imperial kiln of the Qing Dynasty has a pastel gourd with flower and butterfly patterns!"
If you add the last piece of the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Imperial Kiln Pastel Hexagonal Hollow Fruit Pattern Hexagonal Vase, with Liu Dong's calmness, the corners of his mouth are now cracked to the base of his ears. His face is full of smiles!
The value of these three exquisite Qianlong imperial kiln wares is certain to be hundreds of millions. The key is that in many cases they are priceless, and it is not easy to see one piece. Let alone three pieces!
After Liu Dong put away these three pieces of exquisite and valuable porcelain, he opened the box next to him again! What was revealed in this box was not porcelain, but each one tightly wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin and sealed with a layer of wax.
Long things!
Seeing them, Liu Dong knew without guessing that most of the things inside were paintings and calligraphy!
After picking up one of the items with anticipation in his heart, Liu Dong was going to open it immediately, but after thinking about it, he repaired it with the relic Yuan Guang first. If the precious antiques were damaged due to too long time, then he would
I feel so sad!
The repair time is very short, it only takes a few seconds!
When Liu Dong completed the repair, peeled off the wax layer, and opened the oilcloth, as expected, a scroll with a heaven and earth pole, complete frame, but somewhat ancient appeared in front of him.
After looking at it for a while, Liu Dong untied the scroll with anticipation! He really wanted to see what the content of this scroll with a rich red aura was!
"This...is this "Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties" by Yan Liben?"
Looking at the familiar content on the sutra-colored monofilament silk, Liu Dong was excited and surprised at the same time.
"Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties", the whole picture depicts Emperor Zhaowen of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, Lord of Shu Liu Bei, Lord of Wu Sun Quan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Sima Yan, Emperor Chen Wen of Qian, Emperor Chen Xuan Xu,
Emperor Bozong of Chen Fei, Emperor Shubao of Chen Empress, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty Yang Guang, there are thirteen emperors in total. Each emperor has a list next to him, and some even record his reign.
era and attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism.
The painter not only paid attention to depicting the common characteristics, temperament and appearance of feudal rulers, but also successfully created typical historical figures with outstanding personalities based on each emperor's political actions and different environmental fates, which reflected the author's evaluation of these emperors.
The whole scroll is drawn with iron lines, and the lines on clothes and beards are evenly thin and straight. The colors are thick and the smudges are obvious. It is a masterpiece of ancient painting!
Although Liu Dong had never seen the Tang Dynasty copy of "Pictures of Emperors of All Dynasties" collected in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States, he was very familiar with this original painting by Yan Liben. He even copied the information and painted it several times himself!
Therefore, when he saw this painting, Liu Dong could tell its origin at a glance, whether it was the promotions of famous people from all over the world left on the scroll, including the royal family of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the seals, or the mustard space relics.
The identification results show that this is not a copy, but the genuine work of Yan Liben's "Pictures of Emperors of All Dynasties"!
Although the place was small at the moment, Liu Dong couldn't help but read through this Yan Liben hand scroll, which was raised and sealed, and was 8 meters long and nearly 65 centimeters wide after being framed!
Looking at this painting, which can be called a national treasure, Liu Dong had already forgotten his calmness and was filled with explosive excitement!
Of course, when he saw this authentic work of Yan Liben, Liu Dong also looked forward to the subsequent paintings even more!
Therefore, after putting away this inestimable national treasure, Liu Dong immediately picked up another painting. Fortunately, although he was extremely excited, he was not dizzy yet. He still spent the relic Yuan Guang to read the inside before opening it.
The painting scroll has been repaired!
"Holy crap, this is Gu Kaizhi's "Pictures of Admonitions of Women's History"?" Liu Dong lost his voice.
As one of China's top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation, Liu Dong is very familiar with "The Picture of Women's History". Even those Chinese who have never studied calligraphy and painting appraisal have seen it in history textbooks!
After being stunned for a while, Liu Dong quickly went to 'look' at the relics in his mustard space, and above the relics, 'Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's "Picture of Admonitions of Women's History"', nine large golden characters were clearly visible!
After seeing these nine words, Liu Dong was stunned again, because this meant that the painting in his hand was not a copy, but the real "Picture of Women's History" by Gu Kaizhi, one of the "Four Masters of the Six Dynasties"!
"First it's Yan Liben's "Pictures of Emperors of the Past", and then there's Gu Kaizhi's "Pictures of Admonitions of Women's History". Damn it, who left this behind?"
After Liu Dong reacted, the biggest doubt emerged in his mind!
Whether it is the three pieces of porcelain or these two ancient paintings, they are among the top few in China's antique art. Apart from the two major National Palace Museums in Beijing and Taipei, I am afraid that no museum in China can produce such works.
Level collectibles!
Take a look at the scrolls that are still unopened. Each one has a strong red aura, and almost all of them are no less than Yan Liben’s "Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties"!
And this means that almost every one of the hundreds of paintings and calligraphy in this box is a fine painting from before the Yuan Dynasty, and every piece of it is a national treasure!
"But how is it possible? Who is so capable of collecting so many treasures, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of all treasures!"
Looking at the large and small treasure boxes stacked up from near to far, Liu Dong was completely shocked!
