Calligraphy Teaching in Ma Weidou

Is the treasure expert reliable? 430 million national treasures are said to be fakes.

Jianbao expert is a very scenic existence, relying on the ability to distinguish authenticity at a glance, frequently appearing in Jianbao programs. According to Ma Weidou, the real experts are in the museum. In addition, Ma Weidou pointedly pointed out that the experts in TV programs don't even have basic professional knowledge, which can be said to be a weakness in identification. Of course, museum experts will also fail. Early treasure experts once described 430 million national treasures as fakes. People can't help but ask, is the treasure expert reliable?

It's a long story, but whenever something is to be sold, the story packaging behind it must keep up. This is a calligraphy work, which was bought back from Japan by Treasure Island collectors in 2000. It is worth mentioning that the middleman is the "collector tycoon" king on the island. However, the authenticity of this calligraphy once puzzled him. He wanted to find an expert to identify it and let the collectors find an influential painting and calligraphy publishing house in China. When the calligraphy and painting publishing house heard that it was Huang Tingjian's "Zhu Ming", it tickled in my heart. The top management of the publishing house believes that it is also a great achievement to buy this calligraphy treasure back to the mainland.

Not to be outdone, collectors opened at 40 million yuan. At this time, the top management of the calligraphy and painting publishing house was offended, so they found a large number of treasure experts to form an appraisal team to identify the authenticity. The collector used a little skill in the appraisal, and the appraisal was ok, but he didn't show you the original, only provided digital data. Therefore, experts combine some doubts of digital data with some disputes in history and think it is false. In all fairness, the expert's consideration is also well-founded. Huang Tingjian's inscription did exist, but he was later exiled to Japan. However, before living in Japan, there were still some disputes about the inscriptions on pillars in domestic academic circles, which were considered as fakes. Accordingly, experts are very cautious that this is a fake. Bao Dao's 40 million Tibetan friends failed, and the calligraphy and painting publishing house didn't want fakes.

After many years, this matter came out again. Tibetan friends found the first middleman, Wang. They know each other for a long time. Under Wang's activity, this thing was won at Poly's top auction in China. For the sake of prudence, Poly invited Huang Tingjian, the 34th grandson of Huang Tingjian, to identify it. Huang Junshi is not only a descendant of Huang Tingjian, but also an expert in calligraphy and painting, and he is very famous in the industry. It can be seen that Poly attaches great importance to this appraisal. After careful comparison, Huang Junshi believes that this edition of the inscription is the original of the ancestor Huang Tingjian.

This is a great thing. At that time, a group of experts from calligraphy and painting publishing house identified calligraphy works as fakes, and they became genuine at once. Now the experts in the painting and calligraphy publishing house can't sit still, and they are a little passive. Huang Tingjian's Zhu Ming set a new record for calligraphy trading in China, with a turnover of 430 million yuan. This record has not been broken so far. It can be said that Huang Tingjian's Zhu Ming is the most expensive calligraphy work in China and even in the world.

Is the treasure expert reliable? Just because these 430 million national treasures are called fakes is not enough to explain the essence of the problem. I still use Ma Weidou's words, the last thing he wants to identify is calligraphy and painting, because it's hard to distinguish between true and false. In this regard, how to treat the authenticity of Huang Tingjian's Zhu Ming?
