Treasure Hunt all over the World

It was only half an hour before the start of the Spring Festival Gala, and all the audience and special guests had already entered the festooned CCTV No. 1 studio hall and took their seats.

Ye Tian and his family members had also entered the studio hall, and sat down at a round table in the second row of the auditorium. The round table was located in a very good position, close to the stage, and had an excellent view.

This round table was covered with a red silk tablecloth with auspicious patterns embroidered with gold thread. In the center of the round table was a pot of delicate and blooming orchids. There were two bottles of mineral water in front of everyone.

There are many round tables in front of, on the left and right sides, and behind this round table, and each round table is full of people, and everyone is smiling and excited.

Sitting at these round tables are different families from all over the country, popular stars in the entertainment industry, and other special guests, such as national model workers, soldiers with medals on their chests, outstanding entrepreneurs, and so on.

As soon as they entered the studio hall, everyone was shocked by the huge studio hall filled with colorful lights, colorful flowers, and filled with cheerful festive atmosphere, and was thoroughly infected by the atmosphere here.

Especially the three little guys, Matthew and Evelyn, and Linlin and Dongzi.

The eyes of the few of them were almost running out, and they kept turning their heads to look at everything in the studio. Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement, and they were amazed.

When they walked to the round table and sat down, they were still in shock, and their eyes were still shining with excitement.

"Steven, this studio hall is really beautifully decorated, and the atmosphere is extremely warm. The stage in front is even more so. It is definitely the most gorgeous stage I have ever seen."

Looking at everything in this studio hall, Matthew couldn't help feeling emotional.

Before his words fell, Evelyn next to him continued to say:

"You Chinese still have a lively Spring Festival, everyone is beaming, and the whole country is immersed in a strong festive atmosphere. I like this kind of festival, and I like Chinese Spring Festival"

Ye Tian smiled softly, then whispered:

"The Spring Festival is the most solemn festival of the Chinese nation. It embodies the ideology, beliefs, ideals, aspirations, life entertainment and cultural psychology of the Chinese nation, and it is also a carnival display of blessings, food and entertainment.

Its origin contains profound cultural connotations, and it carries a rich historical and cultural heritage in its inheritance and development. During the Spring Festival,

Activities to celebrate the New Year will be held all over China, each with its own characteristics, but all are lively and festive.

At this moment, not only the studio we are in, but also in every place and every family in China, people are immersed in the festive atmosphere full of warmth and joy, saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year! ..."

While Ye Tian was chatting with Matthew and the others, many audience members and special guests in the studio had already spotted Ye Tian and the others.

Apart from the CCTV staff and the many big names in the entertainment industry who were backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, many people were very surprised that Ye Tian and the others suddenly appeared in the No. 1 studio hall.

"Isn't that Ye Tian? Why did he appear here? And he's sitting in the second row of the auditorium as a special guest. I haven't heard that he was invited to the Spring Festival Gala before!"

"What's so strange about this, if you can donate 5,000 volumes of priceless Dunhuang scriptures to the National Library, you will also be specially invited to sit in the front row of special guest seats."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and many people looked at Ye Tian.

For this kind of scene, Ye Tian had expected it and was used to it for a long time. He didn't feel surprised at all. He continued to chat with his family and waited for the Spring Festival Gala to officially kick off.

After chatting for a while, a strange voice suddenly came from the side.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ye Tian, ​​can I spare you a few minutes?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking, and turned to look at the round table on the left.

That strange voice came from this round table, and the speaker was a man sitting at the table, about fifty years old, gentle and elegant looking.

Beside this man, sat a woman in her fifties and a beautiful girl in her twenties.

At the top, facing the stage, sat an old man in military uniform with military medals on his chest, and a gray-haired but hale and hearty old lady.

Obviously, these few are also special guests of the Spring Festival Gala, three generations of a family came to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, similar to Ye Tian's situation.

Ye Tian looked at the other party, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Hello, I'm Ye Tian, ​​what can I do for you? You seem to be much older than me, so just call me by my first name, or you can call me Xiaoye, don't use the word 'you' anymore , I can't afford it"

"Okay, respect is worse than obedience, so I will call you by name, Ye Tian, ​​I am a teacher at Tsinghua University, named Tang Bowen, these are my family members, come to the Spring Festival Gala together today"

Following Tang Bowen's introduction, Ye Tianchong, the family member of the Tsinghua teacher, nodded slightly as a greeting.

Teacher Tang's family members also nodded and greeted him, and everyone looked at him curiously.

After a short self-introduction, Mr. Tang went on to say:

"Ye Tian, ​​as we all know, you are the world's top expert in the identification of antique works of art, with extremely sharp eyesight, and you have never missed anything. I would like to ask you to help identify a piece of calligraphy and painting works of art.

In order to cooperate with a program of the Spring Festival Gala, "I have a family heirloom", we brought an ancient painting here to be displayed on this program. That is our family heirloom, which has been in our family for decades.

But we are not so sure about the authenticity of that ancient painting. We have checked it with experts before. Some people say it is true, and some people say it is a fake. Instead of getting a clear result, it confuses us even more!

I didn't expect to meet you here today, and there is still some time before the Spring Festival Gala starts, so I took the liberty of interrupting, and I would like to ask you to help me and give you an appraisal, so that we can have a bottom line! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately laughed softly, and so did grandparents.

"Ms. Tang, we are just like you. We were asked by the director team of the Spring Festival Gala to bring a family heirloom to the Spring Festival Gala. If we are invited to participate in the 'I have a family heirloom' program, we will show our family heirloom in public.

It's Chinese New Year, since you asked me to help identify your family heirloom, how can I refuse? As long as you trust me, then I will help you take a look and appreciate that ancient painting! "

"That's great, Ye Tian, ​​thank you for your help. The questions that have plagued our family for a long time can finally be solved today. This is almost becoming a heart disease for our family!"

Teacher Tang nodded excitedly and said, eyes full of anticipation.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up a brocade box about fifty centimeters long from his feet, and carefully placed it on the table in front of him.

Ye Tian stood up, came to the table, and looked at the brocade box on the table.

The same is true for the grandfather who is a lover of calligraphy and painting, as well as other audience members and guests who heard the conversation between Ye Tian and Mr. Tang, all looked at the brocade box with curiosity in their eyes.

As for Mr. Tang's family, not to mention, everyone's eyes are full of expectations.

Especially Mr. Tang, who was sitting at the top, stood up straight away, staring at the simple and elegant brocade box with concern, his breathing became a little short of breath.

After putting away the brocade box, Teacher Tang took out two pairs of white gloves from his handbag, put on one pair by himself, and handed the other pair directly to Ye Tian.

Immediately afterwards, he carefully opened the brocade box, then peeled off another layer of white silk, and took out a yellowed scroll from the brocade box.

"Ye Tian, ​​this is our family heirloom, a painting by Zhu Da, a famous painter in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Although it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, it has been in our family for more than 80 years, and we cherish it very much.

It was my grandfather who first accepted this painting of Bada Shanren. He was working in Shanghai in the mid-1930s. By chance, he received this ancient painting, and it has been kept in our family ever since.

After Liberation, our family moved to Beijing. In the early 1950s, an expert from Liulichang looked at it and said it was an authentic work by Bada Shanren. At that time, some people wanted to buy it, but we didn’t sell it.

In the 1980s, because I wanted to study abroad at that time, it cost a lot, but my family was very poor. In desperation, we had the idea of ​​selling this painting and asked someone to re-appraise it.

The appraisal expert I found this time gave a completely opposite conclusion to the previous one. The appraisal expert said that this is a fake, a forged painting in the early years of the Republic of China, and it came from a master of calligraphy and painting counterfeiting in Tianjin.

We didn’t believe in this evil, and we asked several appraisal experts to conduct appraisals. As a result, some people saw it as real and others saw it as fake. In this way, we were completely confused, and this painting was not sold.”

Teacher Tang introduced the basic situation of this painting, and gently placed the scroll on the round table instead of handing it to Ye Tian.

Obviously, this Mr. Tang also understands some rules of the domestic antique trade, and knows that the goods are not good enough!

"The paintings of Bada Shanren are very rare, you must appreciate them carefully"

Ye Tian said with a smile, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

At the same time, many spectators and special guests around heard that this might be the painting of Bada Shanren, and they all stood up immediately, and looked at this side with bright eyes.

With the rise of the collection craze and various treasure hunting programs emerging on TV, people now know a little about antique art collection, and there are even some who call themselves experts.

The paintings and calligraphy works of Bada Shanren have been enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors in recent years, and the auction prices have repeatedly hit new highs. They are definitely one of the most attractive ancient Chinese painters in the market.

Now hearing that there is a painting of Bada Shanren here, can everyone not be excited?
