In addition to mother-of-pearl lacquer carvings and Daqi Tongbao, there are also two calligraphy and paintings, and one piece of porcelain. One of the calligraphy and paintings is Castiglione's "Hundred Horses", a foreign oil painting, Van Gogh's Sunflower, and the other is from the Song Dynasty.

Rabbit hair and rat beard.

The first is Lang Shining's "Hundred Horses". Fang Qi has already seen three of Lang Shining's paintings. One is his own twelve porcelain plate paintings, "Yong Zheng's December Yuanmingyuan Recreation Picture". The painting on it is

The scene of Yongzheng and his children sharing family happiness in the Old Summer Palace, with the Old Summer Palace as the background, reflects the original true appearance of the Old Summer Palace.

The twelve pairs of porcelain plate paintings are mainly made of enamel. The texture is white and firm, and the structure is tight and delicate, just like the beautiful Hetian jade. The glaze with the ginger tone as the main tone exudes a solemn and elegant royal atmosphere, elegant and noble. And

The background of the above painting is grand, the scene is beautiful, the painting is delicate, and the characters are lifelike. It was definitely a priceless treasure at that time.

As for the other piece, it was a green sheep picture from the recent treasure appraisal conference. At that time, in addition to Fang Qi's collection, it also caused a sensation.

And this picture of a hundred horses is even better than the picture of green sheep. Famous painters of horses have existed since ancient times. Horses are usually used as a symbol of talent, while grooms represent officials who govern the people. Paintings with a group of horses as their theme,

Often used to commend national strength.

The earliest extant masterpiece is "Linwei Yan Herding Pictures" written by Li Gonglin in the Northern Song Dynasty and imitated by Wei Yan in the Tang Dynasty. There are more than a thousand horses and more than a hundred grooms in the painting, which shows the abundance of talents and the prosperity of the country in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Now, now

There are also pictures of eight horses by Xu Beihong and so on.

This painting "Hundred Horses" has a narrative structure, and the three thin horses that appear in the front, middle and back sections of the painting are regarded as the protagonists. The beginning of the volume relatively quietly depicts the groom resting near the tent and the horses resting under the tree.

, the middle section shows and combines the various postures of the horses, and the distant scene also shows the scene of the groom galloping and training the horses, and the last section ends with the horse bathing.

As the image of the thin horse goes from living in isolation to being domesticated and close to other strong horses, it outlines the process of talent being recruited into the imperial court under the rule of foreign races.

No two horses in the painting are the same, and each has a different posture. The horses resting on the ground are lying on their sides, lying on their backs, lying on their backs, etc. Depending on the angle and the different parts of the body, the horses are different.

The rotation of the parts creates various images. It can be imagined that Castiglione, who was about forty years old at the time, had done many sketches of horses and left many drawings of horses.

However, in addition to actual sketching, some of the images in the painting still come from ancient Chinese horse-themed paintings, such as the tickling horse in Zhao Yong's "Horse Picture", or the thin horse in Gong Kai's "Horse Bone Picture". Therefore, "Hundred Horses"

"Picture" can be seen as Lang Shining's attempt and challenge to the tradition of painting horses, and it is also one of his masterpieces. Fang Qi did not expect that these people could even achieve this.

However, when Fang Qi touched the paper, his expression suddenly changed. Without using his powers, with his current vision, he was already 90% sure that it was the genuine article. But as soon as he touched the paper, the feeling that passed to his hand

The age information was only a dozen years old, which caused a sudden turmoil in his heart.

Fang Qi looked at this painting solemnly, trying to find out the flaws without using his powers, but ten minutes later, Fang Qi still found nothing. Besides, there was a middle-aged man sweating profusely next to Fang Qi.

people.

Because Fang Qi's dignified atmosphere put great pressure on him, he didn't expect that Fang Qi's expression suddenly changed when he was originally optimistic about something, and he looked at it for a full ten minutes without lifting his brows. In the end, he couldn't help but sigh.

Take a breath.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think of this painting?" Hearing the man's words, Fang Qi shook his head and said:

"This is a high-end imitation, or a modern high-end imitation. Let's find a collector in country m to buy it. Let's take a look at the next one." Hearing Fang Qi's words, the man was stunned. He didn't expect to actually follow this.

It went in the direction he imagined. But Fang Qi said that 90% of this high imitation would not be the original.

"Mr. Fang, this is Van Gogh's Sunflower, do you want to take a look?" After hearing the man's words, Fang Qi did not immediately touch or pick up the object, but watched the man open the painting. This is a painting.

Twelve sunflowers

Van Gogh's twelve sunflowers are usually thought to be Van Gogh's twelve to represent his twelve disciples. For Van Gogh, sunflowers are the best subject to express his thoughts. Summer is short, and sunflowers are the best subject to express his thoughts.

The flowering period of the sunflower is not long, and Van Gogh ended his short life like the sunflower. It is appropriate to call him a sunflower painter.

Van Gogh's art is great, but he was not recognized by society during his lifetime. His works contain a profound sense of tragedy. His strong personality and unique pursuit of form are far ahead of the times. It is indeed difficult to be recognized.

People at that time accepted it. He used the environment to grasp the object and re-change reality to achieve tangible reality, which contributed to the birth of Expressionism.

When people misunderstood him the most, it was when he was most confident in his creation. Therefore, he left eternal artistic works. He directly influenced French Fauvism and German Expressionism, so that it appeared at the beginning of the century.

lyrical abstract portrait.

The mood of his first works was often low, but later, a large number of his works changed from low to loud and clear, as if he wanted to use cheerful songs to comfort the suffering of the world and express his strong ideals and hopes.

"He used all his energy to pursue the simplest and most common thing in the world, which is the sun." His paintings are not only full of bright colors under the sun, but also depict the eye-catching sun itself more than once.

, and depicted Xiang Yuekui many times. If people can truly love each other, life will last forever. This is Van Gogh's wish and belief...

"Sunflower Sunflower" is painted with a gorgeous combination of yellow colors. It can be called the incarnation of Van Gogh and can also be said to be his masterpiece. Strong golden yellow is often the main color in his paintings. This is because of Van Gogh's passionate

The character fell in love with the sun, the birthplace of warm colors.

The sun became the object of his praise, and the light of the sun seemed yellow to him. The yellow petals were like the sun radiating dazzling light, and the golden petals gave people a warm feeling, which made Van Gogh

I painted the flowers facing the sun with passion in my heart. The stamens were painted fiery red, like a blazing fireball.

The thick brushstrokes give the picture a sculptural feel, and the dazzling yellow color fills the entire picture, arousing great spiritual excitement. Give full play to the emotional factors of color, making color an important means for him to express his thoughts and feelings. This is Van Gogh's work.

important characteristics of art.

"This is a rare genuine item, a good thing." Hearing Fang Qi's words, the man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. If this item was fake, he would be worried that Fang Qi was deliberately looking for trouble.

The last item is the rabbit hair and rat beard lamp. The rabbit hair and rat beard lamp had an extremely glorious "history" in the Song Dynasty and was named after its silky flowing lines. Although it is a household item for drinking tea, the rabbit hair and rat beard lamp

The teacup is much larger than the tea cup we have in mind, and is comparable to the bowls used by people in G city. Moreover, it is also extremely valuable.

This rabbit-haired and rat-bearded lamp has an ordinary shape, and its color is not brilliant. It has a dignified temperament and is dark brown, almost black. An outsider may think it is a farmer's rice bowl at a glance. However, if you look closely, you can see that its glaze is delicate and moist.

Dark blue and light brown lines like rat whiskers are faintly flashed, and the word "for emperor" is engraved on the bottom. When tapped lightly, it sounds like wood.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty once said, "Green tea is the most valuable, and rabbit hair is the best." Because the fetal bones of rabbit hair and rat beard cups are thicker, the tea is not easy to cool down.

At that time, the aesthetic realm of the Song Dynasty, which advocated nature and simplicity, was extremely high, so the Jianyang tea cup with a strong folk flavor became popular, and it was as famous as Ding, Jun, Ge and other famous kilns. It can be seen that this tea cup is precious, at least for people in the upper class.

something to play with.

The tea ceremony was very popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time it was not brewing tea as it is today, but boiling tea. The tribute tea at that time was made by grinding the delicate tea buds sixteen times, grinding them dry, adding water, and then roasting them over a slow fire for seven days and nights.

The tea is made into paste tea. After so many processes, the tea brewed is as white as snow, which contrasts well with the dark brown color of rabbit hairs and rat whiskers. Therefore, there was a saying at that time that "tea is white, so it is better to drink black tea".

There are not many famous rabbit-haired and rat-bearded lamps from the Song Dynasty, and they are extremely rare in public and private collections at home and abroad. Moreover, this lamp has an inscription on the bottom. Even the rabbit-haired and rat-bearded lamps collected by the Palace Museum do not have the word "for the emperor". This is

It can be called a national treasure. Moreover, the information from Fang Qi's hand indicates that this is a tea cup fired by the official kiln in Jianyang of the Southern Song Dynasty for the emperor, and there are historical records.

In fact, many of the collections are the most popular gadgets in which era in ancient times. Whether it is official kiln blue and white, or enamel, snuff bottles, calligraphy and painting, and lacquer sculptures, the value at that time was not something that ordinary people could play with. There are also

Various weapons and truly valuable things must be valuable at that time.

As a saying goes, the premise for an antique to be valuable is that it was valuable at the time. Generally, a large bowl used by farmers will not be valuable in 2000. Just like the treasure appraisal some time ago, many things Fang Qi saw were **

Ordinary supplies during that time were not valuable at all. Even ordinary plowshares left over from the Song Dynasty could only be regarded as cultural relics, and collectors did not want much of them.

Of course, it would be another matter if the emperor used it to plow the land. There are also some things that have been given special meanings, such as the Nine-curved Bead. This thing was a rare thing at the time. It can be said that if this thing appeared in

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, given Confucius' reputation, this thing was also a priceless treasure.

"Haha, I'm very satisfied with these things. If our transaction is completed in the future, if nothing happens, we don't want to see you again." Hearing Fang Qi's words, the man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the only one in his hand.
