"Everyone here today knows how precious the 5-volume "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" in Zhuoyue's special auction is. It was created by Mr. Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter of the Jin Dynasty in China, about 400 AD, about 1600 years ago. "

The host is a young girl with a sweet smile and elegant posture, and she is quite eye-catching on the stage.But what is more eye-catching at this moment is the huge projection displayed behind her.

"Bringing Mr. Gu Kaizhi, most of you here today must have heard of it. Mr. Gu's name is Kaizhi, the character is Changkang, and the small character is Hutou. He is from Wuxi in the Jin Dynasty of China. Mr. Gu Kaizhi is erudite and talented, famous for his poems and calligraphy.

"But he is most famous for his paintings. He is good at portraits, Buddha statues, animals, and landscapes. Therefore, he was known as the best in painting, literary and infatuation at that time, and he was nicknamed 'Mr. Sanjue'. Mr. Xie An respected him and commented on Mr. Gu Kaizhi as a genius that has never been seen in the world. Looking at the entire East Asia, who knows, who doesn't know?

"Mr. Gu Kaizhi has a long-standing reputation even in our Japan and the nearby South Korea. Therefore, not only friends from China, but also many collectors from Japan and South Korea made a special trip here today. Thank you!" Dimension Travel Guide 855

The hostess smiled and briefly introduced some famous collectors who came to the scene today, and Tang Shaozhe was elated listening to it.The reluctance to contact others before was just a deliberate attitude.

With the introduction of the hostess, Tang Shaozhe knew that not only collectors came today, but also university professors and famous painters from Japan, Korea, China and other countries.

After the introduction, the hostess naturally turned back: "Everyone is here for Mr. Gu Kaizhi, so you must know the magic of Mr. Gu Kaizhi's paintings. Professor Dongsen, can you tell us in detail speak?"

Then stood up a white-haired Japanese old man, who was still wearing a very formal kimono today, and his white hair was combed meticulously.Hearing what the hostess said, he stood up tremblingly and bowed around.

"Your Majesty Higashimori Eisei, Professor of the Graduate School of Literature at Waseda University. It is a great honor for me to be the on-site commentator for Mr. Gu Kaizhi's handed down masterpiece "The Picture of the Female History Adverb."

Listening to the old man's fluent Chinese, Tang Shaozhe knew that this old man definitely had real talents.What's more, Waseda University has a great reputation among private universities in Japan. The school is located in Shinjuku District, which can be regarded as a nearby building.

It's fine if Tang Shaozhe doesn't know Dongsen Rongcheng, but the rest of the people who knew at the scene suddenly showed shock.The professor of Waseda University has such a great reputation that he can almost sweep the entire Japanese art world without any rivals.

"God, Zhuoyou actually invited this old gentleman out of the mountain? I heard that at Waseda University, even the principal may not be able to see him. This old gentleman is simply a fossil-level coordinate figure, tsk tsk, amazing."

I don't know whether it's a great thing that Zhuoyue Auction House invited him to give an explanation of "The Proverbs of a Female History", or it's a great thing to see this legendary master today.However, the on-site explanation has already begun.

"Mr. Gu Kaizhi in the Jin Dynasty of China, together with Cao Buxing, Lu Tanwei, and Zhang Sengyou, were collectively called the 'Four Masters of the Six Dynasties'. Mr. Gu Kaizhi's paintings are extremely vivid, with extraordinary charm and profound artistic conception. His 'form The theory of 'writing the gods' has laid a solid theoretical foundation for traditional Chinese ink painting, and it can be described as a figure that must be mentioned in the history of East Asian literature and art."

Dongsen Rongcheng started from Gu Kaizhi's historical status, even people who don't know the so-called will be surprised after hearing it.The rest of the people who were familiar with the history at the scene nodded secretly.

"As we all know, Mr. Gu Kaizhi's "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" has never been preserved, which is a great regret in human history. There are only two "Nu Shi Zhen Tu" extant and widely known in the world, which are copies of Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty

"Due to historical reasons, the copy of the Tang Dynasty is now in the British Museum in London, while the copy of the Song Dynasty is collected in the Palace Museum. Although both paintings are copies, there is a big gap between them.

"The copy in the Tang Dynasty is simple in style, bright in color, and has the same charm as the original. Because the name seal of 'Gu Kaizhi's painting' is signed at the end of the painting, it has always been regarded as Gu Kaizhi's original work and has been treasured by the royal palace and nobles of all dynasties.

"Compared with the Song Dynasty copy, it is far inferior to the previous Tang Dynasty copy in terms of scroll, color, and brushwork. However, the former Tang Dynasty copy has begun to fall apart due to the poor protection of the British Museum, which is really embarrassing. sigh."

Following his explanation, the huge projection behind the host on the stage once again displayed two different paintings of "Admonitions for Female History" stored in two famous museums.Although the difference is not very obvious, all of you here are professionals or amateurs, and they have done their homework in detail before coming here for the last time, so it can be seen that there is a significant difference between the two.

However, as the explanation said, the British Museum did not understand the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting when it collected the "Picture of Admonitions of the Female History", so it cut it up and mounted it for preservation, and now it has become dregs.

"Today, we saw the third painting of "The Admonishment of the Female History". Although its scroll is not complete, or even less than half of the whole painting. But the scroll is well preserved, and it is almost as new as before."

Dongsen Rongcheng's voice has become hasty, showing his excitement at this moment.Especially after showing the whole picture of tonight's lot on the huge projection, it caused bursts of admiration.Plane Travel Guide 855

The quality of the painting "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" that appeared in the projection is indeed far better than the previous two works.Of course, Tang Shaozhe specially asked the main god to spend standard energy to repair and restore this.

"Mr. Gu Kaizhi's "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" has twelve volumes, but all of the existing copies are fragments. There are eleven volumes of the Song Dynasty copy with a lower artistic level, and only nine volumes of the superior Tang Dynasty copy.

"The "Admonitions of Women's History" to be auctioned here today is the most well-preserved, but unfortunately it also has the fewest volumes, only five volumes. Although the number of volumes is the fewest, the artistic level is the best among the three."

Dongsen Rongcheng stamped his feet and beat his chest during the explanation, the pain was indescribable.It seems that it is simply regrettable to the point of outrage.Later, before taking out the painting with his hands, he solemnly invited the painting out after burning incense and washing his hands with clean water.His devout attitude amazed everyone present.Given his reputation and status, what he did was simply astonishing and inexplicable.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the painting "Admonitions of the Female History" that everyone will bid for in today's auction. It is an honor in my life to be able to display this painting with my own hands. I didn't know the lucky one who could buy it back.

"Look at the colors, characters, brushwork, painting style, implication... there is nothing that is not amazing, it is really a masterpiece. In fact, I am very envious that you can bid for it.

"If I have enough financial strength, even if I go bankrupt, I will buy it back and collect it. If I look at it every day, I will feel the demeanor of the senior masters in front of me, and my lifelong ambition is enough.

"It's a pity, I'm so shy in my pocket, I can only take this opportunity to enjoy it a little bit. Everyone at the scene, I don't know what are you waiting for? Such a masterpiece, it is best to take it home as soon as possible and collect it properly. This is the first in the history of art and mankind. Treasures, supreme art treasures! I have a merciless request, and I would like to ask everyone to keep them until the end of the bidding, is that okay?" Dongsen Rongcheng looked at the host pitifully, with a look of embarrassment on his face. look forward to.

Although there was no such project arrangement before, the host reacted very quickly. He glanced at his boss quietly and nodded with a smile, "Of course, Professor Dongsen. Good story."

"You are polite, you are polite. I am sincere and fearful, and I dare not take it seriously. Thank you for your care, I will keep it here on the spot." Dong Sen Rongcheng's expression of taking advantage of a copy made everyone present secretly startled.

Unknowingly, the atmosphere of the scene has been completely mobilized.Even Western collectors and rich Arabs who don't know much about the "Admonitions of the Female History" have aroused great interest.

At this time, the host appeared again, and with a smile, Sun Ping, tonight's auctioneer, was invited.When the insider heard it, there was a low exclamation immediately, this is the famous white glove.Mention his name, who among the auctioneers does not give a thumbs up.It seems that for this special auction, Excellence has indeed put in a lot of effort.

After a lot of excitement, the lights on the scene gradually dimmed, and finally only the auctioneer Sun Ping on the auction platform in the center of the venue was left: "Hi everyone, I am Sun Ping, the chief auctioneer of Joyo Auction House. Professor Dongsen's explanation just now is very good. Wonderful, and I was mesmerized by it myself.”

Everyone was listening to his admiration, and Professor Dongsen Rongcheng was even a little shy. He didn't want to, but suddenly heard him change the subject: "But, Professor Dongsen is too "excellent", so he might steal my limelight. Everyone knows, The reason why Excellence paid me is to let me do this, and I don’t want to be almost robbed of my job by Professor Dongsen.”

"Hahaha..." Hearing his humorous words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed a little.Those who knew the rules were nodding secretly. The chief auctioneer's ability to control the field was really good, and he could be said to be in control.

After some words, not only did the slightly tense atmosphere relax a little bit, but it didn't reduce the heat a bit.People who know Zhang Wei are all admiring, he deserves to be the winner of the white gloves!

The white glove is the highest honor in the auctioneer profession, and it can only be obtained by guaranteeing a 100% turnover rate in an auction.The meaning it represents is almost equivalent to the honor of an actor winning an Oscar winner or queen.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was successfully adjusted, Zhang Wei immediately changed roles: "As for the preciousness of the "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" in this auction, I think everyone knows it well from Professor Dongsen who just robbed me of my job. Not much to say.

"Compared to such a heavy treasure, I think everyone must be very curious about its reserve price? Hehe, don't worry, let's start today's auction now! The fragment of "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" in this special auction, The base price is US$100 million. If everyone here wants to get it, the increase in each bid must not be less than US$10."

Seeing the sincere smile on his face and the word "begin" gently uttered by this person, the scene fell into a brief silence.No one expected that the reserve price of this auction would be so low.

However, everyone soon saw through Zhuo Liang's good intentions, and everyone below came to their senses.Immediately, a black-haired middle-aged woman who looked like an Asian raised a sign: "100 million dollars!"

Tang Shaozhe's heart moved, he let out a long breath and clenched the No. 46 card in his hand. At the critical moment, Ms. Shimizu Michiko will make her debut.Plane Travel Guide 855
