The appearance of "Chunhuage Tie" made Li Zhongxin's eyes lit up. Li Zhongxin still had some impression of this thing. After all, they had specialized in this aspect when they were in school.

In the courses Li Zhongxin and his friends studied, calligraphy occupies a place. No matter when, those who study art must reach a certain level in calligraphy.

Among the calligraphy practiced by Li Zhongxin, there is the technique of "Chunhuage Tie".

According to Li Zhongxin and his teacher, this "Chunhuage Tie" is a collection of pieces or calligraphy compiled during the Chunhua period of the Song Dynasty, including the ink of emperors, famous ministers and calligraphers from the pre-Qin period to the Tang Dynasty for more than 1,000 years, and 420 works by 103 people. Later generations praised this piece as the "Crown of calligraphy" in China.

However, this set of calligraphy was later lost during the war and then lost overseas, and there was no trace of it in China.

The producer of this "Chunhuage Tie" is Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of Song. Everyone may not be familiar with Zhao Guangyi, but we all know that Zhao Guangyi's brother is Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu of Song.

"History of the Song Dynasty" records that in 976, Zhao Kuangyin "collapsed in the Wansui Palace at the age of fifty". At the age of 50, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly died. People suspected that Zhao Kuangyin was probably murdered by Zhao Guangyi. However, according to the description of the famous historian Sima Guang in "The Record of the Shui Wen", Zhao Guangyi was helpless in succeeding to the throne and becoming emperor.

When Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he destroyed the Min Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, the Northern Han Kingdom and other places in the north. However, when he launched troops to attack the Great Liao Kingdom, he showed insufficient military leadership.

The production of "Chunhuage Tie" was completely accidental. One day in the third year of Chunhua, when Zhao Guangyi was reading the memorials of the ministers, the "Jiangnan Lu" written by Xu Xuan caused him to be furious because there was a saying in it, "There is a destiny for the heavens to return", which means that the demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with the courage of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Xu Xuan also showed nostalgia and nostalgia for the Southern Tang Dynasty. Zhao Guang was so angry that he wanted to kill Xu Xuan, but Zhao Kuangyin had the ancestral teaching of "not killing scholars and officials."

The next day, Zhao Guangyi ordered Shishu, his calligraphy teacher Wang Zhu, to lead Xu Xuan and the calligraphers to compile a set of calligraphy, hoping to divert Xu Xuan's attention. The production of this set of calligraphy was divided into two steps: the first step was to screen the ink traces of emperors, famous ministers and calligraphers from the pre-Qin to the Tang Dynasty collected in the secret reading of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and finally selected 420 works from 103 people. The second step was to outline these selected works by calligraphers in the method of quilting and filling, and then the top sculptors carve these outlined lines on the jujube wood board to make a permanent set of calligraphy.

"Chunhuage Tie" is divided into 10 volumes. The first volume contains the ink writings of 19 emperors. Volumes 2 to 4 include the ink writings of 67 famous officials of all dynasties. Volumes 5 record the works of 15 calligraphers of all dynasties. Volumes 6 to 8 contain the works of Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Volumes 9 and 10 contain the works of Wang Xizhi's son Wang Xianzhi.

After the posts of the jujube wood board were made, the rubbings were made on the jujube wood board using the fine Huizhou tribute ink and the precious Chengxintang paper, and then the rubbings were compiled into a book. Zhao Guangyi gave these ancestral engravings to the ministers and princes and nobles around him, and these people reprinted the ancestral engravings. In this way, the "Chunhuage Tie" began to spread and popularize among the people.

More importantly, Zhao Guangyi established Wang Xizhi's status as the "Sage of Calligraphy" through the production of "Chunhuage Tie". However, after the production of "Chunhuage Tie", within half a century, a fire broke out in the palace and the "Chunhuage Tie" of jujube boards was burned. Therefore, the ancestral engraving book made from jujube boards became a national treasure. However, this set of ancestral engraving book also disappeared in the long river of history.

Li Zhongxin mainly learned six to eight volumes of calligraphy, so Li Zhongxin was determined to win this auction.

After Li Lingyu announced the start of the auction, Li Zhongxin directly raised the price of the "Chunhuage Tie" to 400,000 US dollars.

Li Zhongxin felt that such good things must be kept in China and should not be taken away by foreigners. Things worth hundreds of thousands of dollars can be taken directly.

But! Li Zhongxin doesn't want to spend any big-headed money, the value is almost as much as it is. He will not directly raise the price to one million US dollars or even more because he is determined to win.

"Zhengshi! I found that you really like to write and draw things, otherwise you wouldn't have bought a post like this. This kind of thing is valuable and valuable, and it's not valuable. People who don't understand will definitely dislike it very much." Seeing that Li Zhongxin directly raised the price to 400,000 US dollars, the people participating in the auction below suddenly disappeared, she smiled and said to Li Zhongxin.

For a time, Masako Mitsui believed that Li Zhongxin likes art, painting or other things were a cover-up of Li Zhongxin. She now seems that Li Zhongxin really likes this matter, otherwise, she would never have such a research and idea of ​​having to buy such a copybook.

Wang Hongguang saw that the people in the private room threw out a price of 400,000 US dollars when the "Chunhuage Tie" was just started auctioning, and almost made him angry.

The value of "Chunhuage Tie" is about $380,000 to $400,000. Someone once revealed that the collector of "Chunhuage Tie" wanted to sell $400,000 a year ago, but it was put on hold because no one bought it. Most of the collectors in the real circle knew about this. Now, as soon as the filming started, a price of $400,000 appeared.

Wang Hongguang didn't know if Li Zhongxin was the one who was the collector. If it weren't for the entrusting, how could he have made the price so high at once?

Wang Hongguang was born in a wealthy Chinese businessman in Malaysia. He ranked third in his family. When his father died, he gave his brother threes 30% of each of them, which was a responsibility of being a father.

Unfortunately, Wang Hongguang doesn't like to do business. He basically doesn't care about everything in the family business. He just eats, drinks and has fun, and his family is happy. Anyway, the family doesn't have enough money to be short of him.

His two brothers also felt that if such a guy was allowed to enter the family company to fight for power and profit, the company would be unlucky. Instead of letting him participate in the company, it would be better to be a free and carefree young man.
