If Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Pavilion" reappears, how much can it be auctioned?

Wang Xizhi is a famous calligrapher in the history of China. Known as the "sage of calligraphy" by later generations, Wang Xizhi is worshipped by friends who like calligraphy. He has many calligraphy works in his life, the most influential of which is Preface to Lanting. Although the original Preface to Lanting has not been found, its position in calligraphy is still unshakable by any calligraphy work. If you can see it again one day, it is absolutely priceless and may not even be auctioned. Because it is a national treasure, how can it be allowed to sell?

Preface to Lanting is called "the first book in the world", and its whereabouts are an unsolved mystery. However, there are many versions about its flow direction in the world. Some people say that Emperor Taizong was so obsessed with Wang Xizhi's calligraphy that he took Wang Xizhi's original Preface to Lanting to his grave after his death, and it has not been drawn yet. Of course, this is just a folk saying, and no one really knows whether it is true or not.

Wang Xizhi was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In a prosperous time when everyone is standing in the forest, he can still stand out from the crowd. He is also a legend. His calligraphy and status are irreplaceable, and it is recognized as the first peak in calligraphy. His appearance directly made all kinds of calligraphy flourish, and even became the trend of later generations. To this day, people are still imitating him. Taking him as a calligraphy model, his calligraphy can be said to have influenced the history of calligraphy for thousands of years.

Wang Xizhi, a man admired by even the emperor, made such a mysterious and legendary work. If it can be auctioned, it is difficult to do it with one's financial resources.
