Chapter 134: Heirloom paintings worth more than a billion!!
After warming up with Xiao Hongyi, Gu Zhou returned to the modern era, and the first thing to check on the Internet about the Qingtian White Sun Alliance was that there was no record in the official history, but there were records in the wild history, and I don’t know whether it was true or false.
In the end, he found a retired professor who had in-depth research on the history of the Republic of China, although there were few records, only sporadic ones, but according to his research, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the roster had its own affairs and was very important.
But how important it is, the roster is not destroyed, everything can only be guessed.
Only then did Gu Zhou determine that it was indeed that roster that caused the Qing court to destroy him two years in advance!
Changed history!
“Uncle Zhao, I have something good for you to see.”
“What is it?”
Zhao reform came interested.
“Roselle Futu”.
“Oh? Which famous artist copied it? ”
There are still eight kinds of “Roselle Futu” that exist so far, which are stored at home and abroad, and the value of these copies is also very high, hundreds of millions, even if they are not national treasures, they are not far away, and fakes often appear in the antique world.
“Sima Shao.”
“Sima, what do you say? Sima Shao? Is it Sima Shao? You’re not mistaken? How can it be? ”
Several consecutive questions proved how shocked Zhao Reform was.
“Gu Zhou, you won’t be deceived by anyone, right?”
Now the mainstream saying that the author of “Luoshen Futu” is Gu Kaizhi, this person is versatile, not only good at painting, but also very accomplished in poetry and vocabulary, humorous and sometimes acting like a fool, sometimes called ‘three absolutes’: talent, painting, obsession.
But in fact, there are different statements, and there are different statements about the original author of “Roselle Futu”.
The Tang Dynasty’s “History of Zhenguan Public and Private Paintings” and “Records of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties” clearly record that it was Sima Shao who painted the “Luoshen Fu Map”.
But his painting of the Roselle Fu Map has been lost.
It was not until Wang Yu’s “Inscription “Luoshen Futu” poem preface in the Song Dynasty that Gu Kaizhi’s drawing of “Luoshen Futu” appeared, and after that, this theory appeared in Wang Yun’s “Bibliography of Books and Paintings” in the Yuan Dynasty, Tangwu’s “Picture Guide”, etc., and was regarded as the ‘final word’ for Dumu’s “Iron Net Coral” and so on.
In fact, it is said that Gu Kaizhi painted the “Luoshen Futu”, and the original author of the ancestor of the “Luoshen Futu” that has been handed down to this day is Gu Kaizhi, but there is a lack of definitive evidence, in addition, some copies of the family at home and abroad, there is no author’s name, and there is also controversy around the identity of its drawer, but the artistic component is very high, and it is also focused on collection.
“Uncle Zhao, whether it’s true or not, I know after reading it, what I can be sure of is that it must not be a contemporary fake, and the history is more than a thousand years.”
Gu Zhou was extremely sure: “If it is proved that my “Luoshen Futu” is from Sima Shao’s hand, I can determine who the original author of “Luoshen Futu” is.” ”
“What do you mean?”
Zhao Reform asked.
Gu Zhou said, “There is a seal on the painting, it is Sima Shao. ”
Sima Shao was the eldest son of Sima Rui, the first emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Yongchang was the second year after Sima Rui ascended the throne.
“Good! You’re in Nancheng now, right, I should have come right now. ”
Zhao Reform was too excited, and Gu Zhou heard the sound of a cup breaking on the other end of the phone.
“Yes, Uncle Zhao, where are you now? When it comes, I’ll pick you up. ”
“I’m in Yangcheng, I will definitely be able to arrive today, I will buy a ticket now, and when the time comes, I will send you the arrival time, your WX is the phone number, right.”
“Hmm.”
……
A few minutes later, Zhao Reform added Gu Zhou’s WeChat, sent the ticket photo, and arrived in Nancheng in about four and a half hours.
Four hours later, Gu Zhou saw that the time was about the same and drove to the high-speed rail station, and when he arrived, the high-speed rail just arrived at the station.
At the exit gate, Zhao Reform walked out quickly, followed by two men, with gray hair on the right side, more than seventy years old, and the left side was also close to sixty years old.
“Uncle Zhao, who are these two?”
Gu Zhou greeted him.
Zhao Reform turned sideways and introduced the man on the left: “This is Zhou Qu, an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal, and the calligraphy and painting that have been identified by his hand have never gone wrong.” ”
“Hello, Gu Zhou.”
Gu Zhou stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands politely.
“This is Zhang Qiuning Zhang Lao, who participated in the discovery and preservation of the “Luoshen Fu Map” of the Forbidden City throughout the year, and few people are more familiar with the “Luoshen Fu Map” preserved in the Forbidden City than Zhang Lao.”
“Elder, you put on your makeup.”
Gu’s Shen shot.
It seems that Zhao Reform believes in him and finds two experts to identify the “Luoshen Futu” in his hand.
“Three, please…”
Gu Zhou led the three to the parking lot and walked side by side with Zhao Reform.
“Gu Zhou, I believe you so much, don’t drop the chain for me, if it’s a fake, I’ll be too humiliated.”
Gu Zhou smiled: “Uncle Zhao, if you trust me, I will definitely not fool you.” ”
Although he said it so confidently, in fact, he also played drums in his heart, and Cai Chun swore that after many appraisals, it was determined that this painting was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and as for whether it was made by Sima Shao, because he did not have a clear record of the calligraphy and painting, it was impossible to determine.
Back home, Gu Zhou put several tables together and slowly opened the six-meter-long “Luoshenfu Map”, and its tortuous and detailed picture slowly unfolded.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the painting.
The six-meter-long painting is like a comic strip, with mountains and rocks and forests scattered among them, and the rare birds and animals in the painting add a bit of mystery and legend to the scroll, with vivid expressions and exquisite details.
All of them show the artist’s superb painting skills.
The main characters are repeated, but there is no clear dividing line between each paragraph, making it one.
When the painting was fully opened, Zhang Qiuning and Zhou Qu put on gloves and rushed together, and soon the two reached an agreement: not to mention other aspects, the artistic composition of this painting is extremely high, not inferior to those collected at home and abroad, or even better, and the time must be more than fifteen hundred years.
After more than an hour, the two did not say a word, and they surrounded the “Roselle Futu” like hardworking little bees.
Zhao reformed: “Gu Zhou, do you know how much the most expensive painting has ever been auctioned in China? ”
“A billion billion?”
“Almost, at the capital Poly’s autumn auction in 2017, Qi Baishi’s “Twelve Screens of Landscape” started with 450 million yuan, and in nearly 70 competitions, it finally fell under the hammer for 810 million yuan, plus commission and sold for 931.5 million yuan, becoming the most expensive domestic artwork in the world and the most expensive ink painting in the world.”
Zhao Reform looked at the unfolding “Luoshen Futu” and said with a smile: “Your painting, judging from the naked eye, knows that its history is more than fifteen hundred years, plus its artistic component that is not inferior to the “Luoshen Futu” in the Forbidden City, if it is auctioned, the price must definitely exceed the “Twelve Screens of Landscape”!” ”
