Shenhao Starts With Antique Treasure Appraisal

"Wangchuan Picture?"

I saw that the pictures in it were obviously very traditional landscape paintings in China.

There is a large building in the painting, surrounded by mountains, undulating rivers and rocks, and trees at the foot of the mountains and rivers, surrounding the building.

Outside the building, there is a small bridge and flowing water. A small river flows in front of the door. In the small river, a boatman is punting a boat and there are three or two people in the boat.

Although it is just a rubbing, you can still feel the strong ancient style and natural and leisure atmosphere of the whole picture.

Except for Li Tianming and Wang Ling, everyone else didn't know what Wangchuan Picture was and whose work this ancient painting was.

Moreover, ordinary collectors are generally not very interested in rubbings.

For example, Tao Jianbin has never deliberately collected rubbings, and he doesn't know much about it.

However, looking at Wang Ling's expression again, it was as if he was seeing a rare treasure.

Tao Jianbin was finally willing to take a serious look at Li Tianming. This young face was still calm as usual.

This ability to nourish Qi made the elders of the family no longer dare to look down upon him.

"Mr. Li, can you explain to us what "Wangchuan Picture" is?"

Tao Xuedie immediately showed a very interested expression, because she liked this kind of painting very much and felt that it was particularly charming.

Li Tianming smiled slightly: ""Wangchuan Picture" is a single mural created by Wang Wei. Have you heard of a poem by Wang Wei called "Deer and Chai".

"Lu Chai? No one can be seen in the empty mountain, but you can hear people's voices. When you return to the deep forest, the light shines on the moss again." Tao Xuedie said slowly.

Li Tianming nodded: "This painting is this poem, this poem is this painting. 17

At this time, everyone suddenly discovered that the poem "Deer and Chai" was written in this painting. Looking at the brushwork, it was both vigorous and powerful, and beautiful and rounded. It was definitely the work of everyone.

At this time, Tao Zhonghua finally recovered because he felt the wind direction had changed.

"Mr. Li, is this really painted by Wang Wei? I thought Wang Wei was just a poet."

"There is an old saying in China that the capable can do anything. Wang Wei's poems are very famous, and so are his paintings." Li Tianming responded.

"Our domestic landscape paintings advocate the use of poetry in painting, poetry in painting, and the combination of poetry and painting. In fact, this concept was created by Wang Wei." Zhu Wei was also honored as "The Wish of the South" by later painters.

"Going back to this painting, in his later years, Wang Wei bought a mountain villa owned by the poet Song Zhiwen. After some renovations, it became a gathering place for him and his friends."

Tao Jianbin's eyes lit up: "You mean, this painting is the scene of Wang Wei's villa?"

Li Tianming nodded.

"Oh, that's it. No wonder this painting... has such an artistic conception that is hard to describe. w

This time the situation was completely reversed. Tao Zhonghua had a relaxed smile on his face, while Tao Zhongqing, who was in high spirits just now, frowned.

How could Tao Zhongqing surrender? He said: "Even if this is Wang Wei's work, it is just a rubbing. The rubbings are everywhere, and they are not worth a lot of money."

Li Tianming smiled lightly and shook his head: "That's really not the case. This rubbing is really precious."

"Teacher Wang should be aware that we have only seen the earliest stone tablet rubbings from the Northern Song Dynasty.

“Things carved in stone will weather over time, so the older the rubbings are, the more valuable they are.

"Like this "Wangchuan Picture", the original stone tablet has long been destroyed. The only rubbings that can be verified are currently only two copies of the rubbings in Chicago and the Japanese Museum. The original rubbings have disappeared. "

When Tao Zhongqing heard this, his face froze. No matter how stupid he was, he still knew what Li Tianming meant.

Tao Zhongqing looked at Wang Ling again, who frowned and said nothing, obviously unable to refute.

?What Li Tianming said is all true?

Just listen to Li Tianming continue: "Of course, that was in the past, but now, the original rubbings have been found. (bhae)"

Li Tianming pointed to the assembled long scroll on the ground: "This is the set of original rubbings of Zhenchuan's "Wangchuan Picture" in front of me.

"How do you know this is the original rubbing? Maybe it's also a copy!"

Li Tianming seemed to have expected this question from Tao Zhongqing, so he pointed to the last one.

"The two copies I mentioned before have no signatures on them, but this set is very complete. From the shape and brushwork, it is Wang Wei's style. This is the original version."

Tao Zhongqing opened his mouth, but hesitated. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not say anything more and could only stare.

"Then... Mr. Li, how much do you think this set of rubbings is worth?" Tao Jianbin asked.

Li Tianming smiled: "Mr. Tao, the value of some things cannot be estimated because there is no reference to the auction price, but I can guarantee that the value of this rubbing is definitely much higher than this black glaze paper-cut applique Yunfeng Tattoo plum vase."

Everyone present had different expressions. Tao Jianbin was startled, while Tao Zhongqing fell into a completely dejected state.

The happiest person is of course Tao Zhonghua. He always lost to his brother in the past, but today he can finally feel proud.

Tao Xuedie looked at Li Tianming with a scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly felt that this man was very calm and eloquent. He could explain things very thoroughly in just a few sentences.

This completely overturned Tao Xuedie's first impression of Li Tianming.

Tao Jianbin looked at Wang Ling and wanted to ask him if he had any different opinions.

Wang Ling sighed: "Let me tell you, this set of rubbings is a priceless treasure. If it were placed in a museum, it would be a first-class cultural relic. I lost this time.

Wang Ling's words completely determined the outcome of this fighting match.

Li Tianming won completely.

Of course, it also means that Tao Zhong is even more victorious.

Because Tao Zhonghua not only brought Li Tianming, a highly skilled antique appraisal expert, but even this set of rubbings of "Wangchuan Pictures" were given to him by his friends to pay off their debts.

Tao Zhonghua walked over, patted his brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, I accept it this time."

Tao Zhongqing snorted coldly and walked out of the collection room without looking back.

Tao Jianbin also made a 180-degree change in his attitude towards Li Tianming. He politely led him to the study and served him good tea.

This is very useful to Li Tianming.

Of course, such a result was also expected by Li Tianming.

In the eyes of collectors, an excellent antique appraisal expert is like a giant Buddha, a supreme existence. .
