Chapter 903: Talk to the emperor
Ye Tian returned to the back of the auction stage, and the exhibition hall suddenly became quiet.
The exciting time has come! The battle is about to begin!
It's time to see who is the best and who owns the top antique artworks in the exhibition area!
Everyone clenched their fists in excitement, their eyes became unusually bright, straight shining, staring at Ye Tian on the auction stage, staring at the top antique artworks in the exhibition area.
The smell of gunpowder in the air has become stronger. Throw a match to detonate the audience!
The person in charge of throwing matches was Ye Tian standing behind the auction table.
In the lounge next to the exhibition hall, it was also quiet at this moment, silent.
All the family members watched the TV screen and Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction station. Everyone was very excited and looked forward to the official start of the auction.
Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction platform, did not make a sound, but raised his hand to look at the time, waiting for the beating second hand to point to the ten o'clock position.
"Xiao Ye, don't be cautious, hurry up, let's start the auction, which one was the first one to be auctioned? Tell everyone, we are also good to bid!"
People at the scene couldn't wait any longer and urged.
"Don't worry, there will be more than 20 seconds until ten o'clock, and the shooting will start on time! As for the first antique artwork to be auctioned, everyone will know immediately!"
Ye Tian replied with a light smile, and sorted out the things on the auction stage.
"Hey! It's all here, you are more real! Is that necessary?"
Ma Ye said irritably, many people rolled their eyes helplessly and shook their heads.
As soon as the second hand points to ten o'clock, Ye Tian's voice immediately came out of the speaker, clearly reaching everyone on the scene.
"Time is up! The auction officially starts, so I won't say any more polite remarks, lest you all think I am verbose. I have already said what I should say, let's go directly to the topic.
Before introducing the first lot, let’s get to know the notary who provided notarization services for this auction, as well as two of my lawyers. Ask them to introduce themselves! "
With that said, Ye Tian raised his hand and gestured to the notary booth on the right, and nodded at several notaries with a smile.
"Papa Papa"
Applause suddenly sounded, very warm, from the excited people on the scene.
When the applause fell a little, the four notaries in the notary booth got up one after another, began to introduce themselves, and read the notarization oath, which was very formal and rigorous.
At the same time, they checked and displayed the tender box to make sure there was nothing tricky.
Next, Ye Tian's two lawyers, Tian Huafeng and Chen Fei, also got up and introduced themselves.
After they finished the introduction and sat down, everyone's eyes shifted and focused on Ye Tian again.
In the next moment, Ye Tianqing's bright and bright voice came to everyone's ears again.
"Thank you four notaries from Dongcheng Notary Office, and thank you two lawyers. Thank you very much for coming and providing professional services for this auction."
"Papa Papa"
The applause sounded again, polite and short.
When the applause fell, Ye Tian scanned the audience quickly, and then said loudly with a smile on his face:
"Now we are entering the long-awaited auction session. At this auction, I hope that everyone will bid enthusiastically, get what they want, and leave Beijing Hotel with their favorite baby.
Of course, many people here will come home empty-handed today, but it doesn't matter, please be patient, there is still a chance, I will bring back more top antique art from abroad in the future!
Which antique artwork will become the first lot today? I think everyone is very curious and want to know the answer. Please watch the big screen at the scene, the answer is there! "
With that, Ye Tian half turned around and raised his hand to make a gesture towards the big screen behind him, his movements were very smooth and unrestrained.
Accompanied by his voice and actions, everyone looked at the large screen behind the exhibition area and two large-screen TVs temporarily added on both sides of the exhibition area.
At the same time, the pictures on the three big screens also changed.
A huge dragon head suddenly appeared on the TV screen, with a hideous face, flaring teeth and claws, looking as if it was about to rush out of the screen, and rushed straight towards him, feeling extremely oppressive!
The TV picture changed again, and as the camera gradually zoomed out, a huge ink painting scroll measuring more than 4 meters in length and 34 centimeters in width gradually appeared in front of everyone.
The picture scroll depicts a scene of six dragons dancing and playing.
The six dragons may soar into the clouds, looming; or hidden in the mountains, sometimes exposed; or overwhelming, domineering and exposed; or volleying, with awe-inspiring murderous aura; each of the giant dragons has a different shape and majestic aura!
The moment the ink faucet appeared in front of everyone, the scene had already exploded!
When the entire picture scroll is displayed on the big screen, the exhibition hall directly becomes a violent eruption volcano, and every inch of space is surging with hot lava.
"I'm going! It's Suo Wenglong! Ye Tian, this kid is really big! It's a treasure of the country, there is no warm-up! What a guy who doesn't take an unusual path!"
""Six Dragons"! It came out so early! This baby belongs to me, and I will smash it to death today! Don't grab anyone, whoever grabs me will be anxious!"
Amidst exclaims and admiration, Ye Tian's voice once again spread to everyone's ears.
"This is the first lot today. The famous Zuo Wenglong, the famous Southern Song painter Chen Rong's "Six Dragons", is a veritable and well-deserved treasure of the country!"
Hearing Ye Tian's passionate explanation, everyone's eyes focused on him again.
No one at the scene had doubts about these words.
Everyone knows very well that the "Six Dragons Picture" that appeared on the big screen is indeed a treasure of the country!
It was already a national treasure hundreds of years ago, let alone today, hundreds of years later!
Without a moment's pause, Ye Tian continued to explain, his voice still full of passion.
"We are all Chinese, also known as the descendants of the dragon. The dragon is the symbol and totem of the Chinese nation. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate to use this "Six Dragons" as today's opening lot.
Before the Southern Song Dynasty, the dragon did not have a unified image, and dragons in different periods have different shapes, and it can even be said to be strange. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the dragon was basically unified into its current image.
The general image of the dragon we see now comes from the works of the Southern Song painter Chen Rong. The dragon painted by Chen Rong has a thick body, four fingers spread out, and a snake-tailed tail.
Most of the dragons that appeared in later generations developed and evolved on the basis of the dragons painted by Chen Rong, but they are inseparable from their origins. We can see the shadow of Chen Rong in every dragon image after the Southern Song Dynasty.
Chen Rong loved to paint dragons all his life. He was good at drawing dragons with ink and water, and he was deeply impressed by the meaning of change. The ink splashed into clouds, the water became fog, and he was eager to change. He was called the dragon by the world. !
In the history of Chinese art, Chen Rong occupies a very important place. Suo Wenglong is a model of dragon painting by later generations. In the following hundreds of years, most of the paintings with dragon designs imitated Chen Rong.
This "Six Dragons Picture" comes from Chen Rong. It can be called the ghostwriting of Weng Long. It represents the highest level of dragon painting. It has a pivotal position in the history of Chinese painting and has extraordinary artistic value.
The vast majority of the scene were professionals in the antique industry, and they knew this knowledge very well, so they all nodded in agreement.
Even those entrepreneurs who don't know much, and Ye Tian's family, after the previous preview and Ye Tian's explanation, they knew the same knowledge.
Hearing this, those bidders who are interested in winning this "Six Dragons" have their eyes red, without exception.
They are now waiting for Ye Tian to announce the start of the bidding, and then quickly write down their bid prices, and they must take this top-class painting as their own.
Without a moment's pause, Ye Tian's professional and highly infectious explanation continued, and his clear voice kept coming to everyone's ears.
"Since the day it was born, this "Six Dragons Picture" has been a priceless treasure! In the Southern Song Dynasty, no matter the dignitaries, or the literati poosers, they were all honored to receive Chen Rong's "Suo Weng Long".
The original collector of "Six Dragons" was Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty. In this painting, we can see the inscriptions and postscripts of Emperor Lizong and the ministers, as well as an ancient poem written by Chen Rong.
For hundreds of years, the "Six Dragons Picture" has been circulating among the emperors of the past. By the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, this famous painting became Qianlong's beloved thing of course, and it was kept in the Imperial Study Room.
In Qianlong's "Sequel to Shiqu Baoji", the "Six Dragons Picture" was given a very high evaluation, which directly served as a footnote to this top-class painting and doubled its value.
In the late Qianlong period, he bestowed this top-class painting on the Prince Gong at the time, and it has been kept in the Prince Gong's Mansion since then and passed on to the last Prince Gong.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, in order to help Puyi recover and raise military resources, the Prince Gong’s collection of antique calligraphy and paintings was sold in large quantities, including this "Six Dragons".
He sold "Six Dragons" to a Japanese antique dealer and was then taken to Japan. For more than 100 years after that, this top-class painting has been collected in the Fujita Art Museum in Japan.
I got this top-class painting from the Fujita Museum of Art. I paid a high price. This "Six Dragons Picture" is a cultural treasure of our Chinese people, and I deserve to return home!
Although it has gone through a long period of nearly 800 years, this "Six Dragons Picture" is in excellent condition. The silk quality and color are very intact and the appearance is complete~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can be regarded as a standard piece of Chen Rong's work. .
What's more commendable is that this top-level famous painting has an orderly heritage and a clear historical context. There is no doubt about it. In the painting, we can even see the chronicles of the emperors from the Southern Song Dynasty to Emperor Lizong!
This treasure of the country is in front of everyone at this moment. You must not be the next emperor who will leave a stamp on this painting. Don't you want to be the one who greets you with dozens of emperors?
Everyone can imagine such a scene. When you are free, pour yourself a glass of wine, stand in your study with a glass of wine, and quietly appreciate this famous national treasure painting!
What you saw at that time was definitely not just these six flying dragons, you could definitely feel that dozens of ancient Chinese emperors stood in front of this famous painting just like you! Be drunk! "
Who doesn't want to have fun with the ancient emperor? And dozens of emperors!
The scene was directly exploded, and those bidders who were interested in this "Six Dragons Picture" were completely mad by Ye Tian's words!
As soon as the auction started, it was already a climax!
