If it weren't for Song Huizong Zhao Ji, how monotonous and boring would be the antique world.

Ru kiln porcelain in the Song Dynasty was hailed as the most perfect celadon in China. It is famous for its warm and ethereal azure glaze color. Due to its short firing time, there are very few handed down products and regarded it as a rare treasure throughout the ages. It pushed the firing level of celadon to the extreme and was known as "the first of celadons, and Ru kilns are the leader". Ru porcelain only lasted for 20 years from its inception to its peak, which was the time when Song Huizong reigned. Since then, with the decline of the Song Huizong dynasty, it has fallen and even lost.

Ru kiln sky green glaze contains a small amount of iron. When firing, the depth of the cyan changes with the temperature. The glaze does not contain any artificial chemical components. It is the color of the trace elements in dozens of natural stones. This is also the reason why it is difficult to imitate later generations. Its glaze color will change under different light and angles. Under bright light, the color will turn yellow in the blue. If you observe with a magnifying glass, you can see that the bubbles in the glaze are sparse, as rare as morning stars. "Blue as the sky, face as jade, cicada wing patterns, morning stars, sesame nail glaze satisfies" describes its beauty.

The firing of Ru kiln is absolutely confidential and mysterious. "Agate into glaze" is one of the legends. "Qingbo Magazine" records that "firing is prohibited in the Ru kiln palace, and agate is powdered in glaze". The light pink luster of Ru kiln porcelain is faintly visible at the edges and edges of the edges and corners, which may be the result of "Agate into glaze". In addition, during the firing of Ru kiln, all the martial law around several miles was strictly strictly followed, and no idle people were allowed to pass by, especially women who were pregnant and had periods of menstruation, and they also had to sacrifice to heaven and earth. All the people participating in the firing were bathed and changed clothes, fasted, etc. What's more, some people said that the indescribable color of Ru kiln was the result of the sacrifice of living people to the kiln.

However, Song Huizong's main contribution to the collection industry was not Ru porcelain, but calligraphy and painting.

Regardless of his unique "slim gold body" that he created throughout the ages, Song Huizong was probably the only emperor in history who also served as the president of the Royal Academy of Painting. What is rare is that this president was not a false title, but only showed off his subordinates during important meetings. Instead, he often visited the Academy to guide and participate in creation, vigorously advocated the basic skills of realistic skills, and required "similarity", that is, in line with the laws of nature.

Once, when a lychee was born in front of Xuanhe Hall, a peacock was playing next to her. Song Huizong immediately summoned painters to create on this topic. The paintings were of course wonderful and full of light. When the peacock was about to fly up to the vine branches, they used their right foot to lift it up. After handing it over, Song Huizong shook his head and returned the work to request modification. The painters were puzzled and thought about it for a few days but couldn't understand it. In the end, Song Huizong revealed the answer:

"The peacock rises and must first raise his left foot."

Another time, a painter created a peach tree. The colorful peach blossoms were beautiful and beautiful, and there were small and clear peaches on the branches next to them. After reading the poem, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty wrote:

"Double petals and peach blossoms will not bear fruit."

Later, I asked the fruit farmers that only five petals of peach blossoms can produce peaches, and double petals of peach blossoms, also known as multi-petals of peach blossoms, can only be used for viewing.

The painters were shocked and impressed, and from then on, under the guidance of Emperor Huizong of Song, developed a style of careful observation of things. For example, Han Ruozhu, the most typical realistic painter, created the feathers of birds and beasts from their mouths to their tails, and were vivid and vivid, and were called the last stroke of the time. The Song Dynasty paintings that were circulated in the same number of Song Dynasty paintings that were circulated in later generations were both form and spirit, and there were many realistic sketches, mostly from the brushwork of painters from the Song Huizong Painting Academy.

However, this emperor, who was full of artistic cells, was outrageous in governing the country, was incompetent and incorruptible, valued treacherous ministers, was extravagant and extravagant. In the end, he became a prisoner of the Jin Kingdom with his son.

In Wuguocheng, where the weather is cold and the conditions are difficult, Wanyan Chong, the youngest son of its highest commander, likes painting since childhood, has had a superb study of ink paintings and has always been committed to collecting works by Emperor Huizong of Song. Now, the prisoners are sent to their doors, so they are convenient for life, but they go to search for paintings every few days.

Books, piano, chess and paintings are originally elegant ways of spiritual level. To put it bluntly, it is called "I have nothing to do when I am full", the premise is to have no worries about food and clothing. Like the situation of Song Huizong, he lived in fear all day long, hungry and full, and the house he lived in was leaking from all sides, and it was raining and muddy on the earth. How could he feel like to create? He often wrote a few strokes perfunctorily and did not consider any artistic conception or composition.

But Wanyan Chong is also a person who is more expert in painting. He can see it when compared with the works before and after. He is very angry at the moment and warned that with your current identity, it is easier to want your life than killing an ant. How dare you fool me? Give me a month from today to come out with the fine works, otherwise you will die ugly!

In order to survive, Song Huizong had to force himself to inspire his creative inspiration, carefully conceive, make drafts, draw sketches, use branches to ponder on the ground for nothing, revise the composition in his mind, and repeatedly ponder many details.

The final draft is "The Picture of the Five Kingdoms City Caves", and the poem is written by himself: The shadow of the croaker breaks the door and slants, guards the dream and wet the collar to look at the end of the world. The old man curled up in a narrow grass nest, with dark clouds covering the sun and cold wind whistling. Only by holding the crutch tightly seems to get a little comfort.

It is said that when Hua Wanyan Chong saw that he threw two tea cups, kicked the table in front of him, and shouted excitedly: "Tianyou Wanyan, you can actually get such a peerless painting with such charm!"

Generally speaking, the inheritance of art only depends on the expressiveness and artistic level of the work, and the correct meaning is relatively light, so there is no concern about the allusions or metaphors of twists and turns of resistance.

Perhaps because of the exhaustion of hard work, Song Huizong's health has been getting worse and worse for more than a year. One morning, Song Qinzong went in to visit him and saw that his father had died in the pit.

"The Picture of the Five Kingdoms City Caves" has therefore become the last stroke of Emperor Huizong of Song.

Before his death, Song Huizong was able to leave behind paintings that sing the highest artistic level of his late period that represent the highest level of art. I wonder if it was the sorrow of being a romantic emperor or the blessing of the antique industry?

Later, the Yuan Dynasty rose, and the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty successively destroyed. The Wanyan family, as the ruling class, was brutally purged and massacred. The "Five Kingdoms City Cave Picture" was missing. In the Ming Dynasty, a Confucian scholar bought it from the devastated Yuan Dynasty nobles and presented it to Hangzhou prefect He Jinxian, and then passed it to the hands of high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty until it was collected in the palace in the Qing Dynasty.

During the Kangxi period, in order to win over the surrendered generals of the Ming Dynasty, Kangxi gave paintings and a large number of jewelry to King Pingxi Wu Sangui. Later, Wu Sangui rebelled and was suppressed and confiscated all his property. However, the "Five Kingdoms City Cave Picture" was lost to the people. Later, there was no news about it, but it was always uncertain, which added a mysterious color to it.

No one expected that it would be collected by Tang Qiao, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the China Antiques Association and Secretary-General!

The Grand Theater is full.

Listening to the auctioneer's vivid narrative, combined with the right lights and music, everyone was fascinated or pretended to be fascinated.

Immediately afterwards, the three appraisers and collection experts invited from Kyoto - all wore the titles of "Special Expert of the Forbidden City" and "Well-known Appraiser", and competed to praise the painting in professional terms:

"The paper is thick and soft, and is made of yellow juice, and it is indeed Tongzhou jute paper treated with wax in the Tang Dynasty."

"The scroll structure is standardized, the perspective relationship is reasonable, the strokes are rough, simple and decent, and full of variations. The color is light and calm, and beautiful!"

"The qi and veins are coherent, and the beginning and end echo, and should be described as charm; in addition, the poem written by Emperor Qianlong is elegant and elegant, and deeply understands the essence of Zhao Mengfu."

What else can I say if I praise you so much? Then I will move to the second stage, which is also the highlight of tonight - auction!

Huh, the first two rows were all auctioned. The starting price of "Five Kingdoms Crystal Map" is 50 million. As soon as the auctioneer offered a price, he raised more than 20 signs together!

52 million, 56 million, 60 million, 66 million, 70 million...

It soared to 80 million in less than five minutes!

The price is too fierce, and most buyers have lost their battle in just this short time. Of course, in the eyes of experts, there is more of the "support" component, and the momentum has been created, and there is no need to fight.

There were only three families left on the field and they were still fighting hard, not giving in to each other, and the prices continued to rise: 82 million, 84 million, 86 million, 89 million...

Another company has withdrawn from the competition, and the price of 90 million is obviously seriously exceeding the budget.

The price is getting more and more stalemate, and the upward attack is weak. In the words of an auction industry insider, it is called the end of the strength. In the end, the auction price is 96 million!

The person who took the "Five Kingdoms Cave Picture" was Kyoto's Tamaki Huaguang Antiques Store. After the client issued a complete commission agreement and procedures, he directly called the boss of the antiques store to confirm on the spot, and then signed the agreement in public.

On the last agenda, Tang Qiao appeared in person and donated 96 million yuan to the Jinxi Provincial Poverty Alleviation and Scholarship Foundation!

The chairman of the foundation received the letter of intent for donation and relevant procedures from her. The Provincial Department of Civil Affairs and the Deputy Mayor of Jinxi City came to the stage side by side to express his sincere gratitude to Tang Qiao and delivered a warm speech. A huge, high-level auction came to an end.

Chen Zhihuazhuzheng, his lover donated free of charge after the sale to help poverty alleviation and education. This auction show is truly glorious!

Although Mingyue did not go to the Grand Theater, she knew the whole process well and said on the phone for twenty minutes. After listening to the explanation, Fang Sheng thought for a moment:

"I don't know much about antique auctions. In theory, auctions involving huge amounts should be identified by an authoritative third party, right?"

"Based on her identity, the identification certificate is not a piece of cake? Which agency's official seal do you need will be properly stamped within three days."

"That is to say that she has the final say on whether things are true or not in the mainland? This is so terrible!"

"What's this? In the past, you had the final say in Runze and Zhuquan, which were hundreds of billions of projects, and projects worth tens of billions of dollars can be increased, but they can't be increased. Do you think it's scary?" Mingyue cleverly questioned.

Fang Sheng was stunned and argued: "That's different. After all, due to the constraints of the Standing Committee and the leadership of the superior Party Committee, her situation was simply a matter of overshadowing the sky!"

"She is also constrained by different forces and different regions in the industry, not as simple as you think. The auction tonight was a bit disturbing. In theory, I should try to keep a low profile as much as possible. I can't figure out why," Mingyue sighed, "Don't worry, rest. I will definitely find out all the inside information in the morning!"

"Don't worry about rest?"
Chapter completed!
