Chapter 309 Agarwood Paperweight! ! !
Wang Xianzhi, courtesy name Zijing.
The prince-consort, calligrapher, poet and painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The seventh son of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, together with his father, are called the second king.
Together with Zhang Zhi, Zhong Yao and Wang Xizhi, he is ranked among the "Four Sages".
Wang Xianzhi is good at regular script, running script and cursive script.
The regular script style is open, solemn and harmonious.
The cursive writing style is agile, bold and powerful.
It had a huge influence on later calligraphy.
All in all, this Wang Xianzhi is an awesome historical figure.
Anyone who engages in calligraphy and literature knows about him.
So the things he used naturally became treasures.
But now.
I actually saw Wang Xianzhi's ruler tablets here.
So obvious!
Normal people will only have one understanding.
That's fake.
Tang Youde spoke first:
"Brother Zhuang, where did you come from?"
Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhuang Zhou explained:
"Do you believe what I said was passed down from our ancestors?"
They are all engaged in antiques, regardless of the source, it is a professional ethics.
After all, everyone has their own channel.
Maybe it was acquired at a low price.
Maybe it’s other channels that are not on the table.
All in all it was a tacit understanding.
So when Zhuang Zhou said this, no one asked any more questions.
Mr. Hou was the oldest. He looked at it carefully for a while and handed it to Liu Yunhe:
"Old Liu, I'm not as good as you when it comes to writing and playing. Come and take a look."
Liu Yunhe had actually been eyeing it for a long time.
But to be honest, he couldn't be sure.
After looking at it carefully for a while, I finally had to say:
"Today, there is no published work about Wang Xianzhi's original work, it can be said that not a word has been preserved.
The so-called Wang Xian's rulers and tablets are almost all copies from the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Therefore, I can only say that this should also be a copy.
It's just that the handwriting is handsome, bold, and powerful, and I can't tell the authenticity. "
Liu Yunhe's words were very reserved and left some room.
Then, Liu Yunhe said again:
"Wang Xianzhi and his father Wang Xizhi are known as the two kings. He not only inherited Wang Xizhi's calligraphy attainments, but also dared to innovate, so he has a very important position in the calligraphy world.
And this cursive writing is very free and easy, giving people a feeling of vitality.
Such smooth writing power is breathtaking. "
After saying this, everyone understood.
In fact, Liu Yunhe also believed that this calligraphy and painting was authentic.
In other words, the contemporary value of this painting is immeasurable.
At this time, Tang Youde added:
"Don't tell me, seeing such an interesting copybook makes me want to learn more."
Ma Changbo was not a writer, so he said:
"Mr. Tang is right, this word looks like an ancient one, it's really weird!"
Chen Daiming and others also nodded in agreement with this view.
Of course, only Zhuang Zhou knew that this book was brought back from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
It is equivalent to spanning 1,400 years of history.
But speaking of it, this calligraphy and painting was actually done by Wang Xianzhi himself.
It was copied by a famous artist from the Tang Dynasty, and Zhuang Zhou didn't know.
Because he didn't even ask.
"Brother Xiaozhuang, can you lend me this Wang Xian ruler to look at and study?"
Liu Yunhe looked very sincere.
They are all old acquaintances. When I first drew Ouyang Xun's Zhang Han post, I took 0.1% of Golden Hammer's shares.
Although there is no dividend yet.
But Zhuang Zhou was very grateful for this.
Naturally, I agreed.
Next, everyone looked at Zhuang Zhou's collection for a while.
Tang Youde was not interested in writing, calligraphy and painting, but he had already set his sights on ceramics.
Finally, he begged Zhuang Zhou and sold him five pieces.
Tang Youde was so happy that he said:
"Brother Zhuang, I am determined to recognize you as my brother."
Zhuang Zhou is not bad either, with another income of nearly 40 yuan.
As for the rosewood aniseed in the warehouse, Liu Yunhe finally took it away.
Originally, the market price fluctuated from 5,000 to 12,000.
But Zhuang Zhou's piece of aniseed had a breast diameter of more than 35 centimeters.
And all aspects of its appearance are well preserved.
Liu Yunhe simply bought it at the market price of 10,000 yuan per catty.
A total of 300 million yuan.
Although the aniseed weighs 319 pounds.
But the skin and other miscellaneous items still have to be deducted, Zhuang Zhou has already checked online.
Generally speaking, the outer skin and the inner part of this kind of aniseed material are useless.
Only 19 pounds were deducted, which is considered a profit.
Liu Yunhe obviously didn't care much about this.
However, Zhuang Zhou's move undoubtedly made him feel better.
Especially Hou Lao and Ma Changbo, they are all veterans in the antique industry.
He is well aware of all the practices in this industry.
There are too many people now who want to get into this circle and get a piece of the pie.
Especially young people who have just entered the industry, there are too many who like to take advantage of small things, and there are not a few who engage in cheating.
But today they did business with Zhuang Zhou, and not only did they get a good treasure.
After spending the money, the key is to feel comfortable.
That's the fun of antiques.
So for a young man like Zhuang Zhou, it is really admirable.
Now several people have added their outfits.
Of course, Ma Changbo and Mr. Hou were not far behind.
Therefore, Zhuang Zhou's pair of agarwood paperweights undoubtedly became the most popular items.
This pair of agarwood paperweights is made from a whole agarwood stick, divided into two half-round pieces.
26 cm long, 7.3 cm wide and 3.5 cm thick.
The weight is 539g.
The overall color is shiny, reddish brown, and made according to the shape.
The structure is particularly dense, the pulp is mellow, and the aroma is pure.
In particular, the texture is beautiful and clear, exquisite and delicate.
It can be both practical and collectible.
It is an extremely rare and top-quality product.
Ma Changbo had wanted to get an inkstone as a family heirloom during the Shanghai auction.
Unfortunately, he was not strong enough and was ruthlessly crushed by Mr. Hou.
Finally I photographed the red fox brush.
Today I had the mentality of playing in the water.
Unexpectedly, I got a piece of high-quality Changhua chicken blood stone.
Nowadays, writing brushes are also available, and the raw stone bloodstone for making inkstones is also available.
All it takes is a pair of paperweights.
Therefore, Ma Changbo must be determined to win.
But where is Mr. Hou!
I’m not willing to give in either!
He is a true master of playing with stones, and he also has a special liking for the four treasures of the study.
Now this pair of agarwood paperweights made him even more happy.
"Mr. Ma, at my age, you can't respect the old and love the young and let me do it. You have to compete with me, right?"
Mr. Hou simply put on a posture of relying on his elders and showing off to them.
Ma Changbo ignored it and said directly:
"Mr. Hou, I bought this to carry on the family line, and you still rob it from me. Mr. Hou, you are unethical!"
"Brother Xiaozhuang, you can give me any price for these paperweights, and I..."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Changbo interrupted:
"Mr. Hou, if you do this, the younger generation will look down on you."
"Mr. Ma, what do you mean?"
"I admit that I am not as good as you in terms of strength, but we are all in the same circle, and this is not an auction. You can't bully others with your price!"
Mr. Hou: "..."
This is true.
Tang Youde was just playing with his new treasure.
Liu Yunhe was drawing Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy with his hands.
As for Chen Daiming, he really wanted to help Ma Changbo speak.
But he had already heard of Mr. Hou's famous name in the circle.
Obviously not qualified enough to interrupt.
So I had to watch the show in silence.
Zhuang Zhou, on the other hand, stood aside and couldn't help but feel a little amused as he watched the two big guys argue with each other.
Of course he knew that these pair of agarwood paperweights were extremely precious to real players.
In the eyes of these true antique collectors, a set of the ultimate four treasures of the study is a symbol of their pursuit of ultimate taste.
"You two, stop fighting!"
Zhuang Zhou interrupted their quarrel:
"Actually, I have an idea."
"What can we do? Say it quickly!"
Ma Changbo and Mr. Hou looked at Zhuang Zhou urgently at the same time.
