Huang Tingjian, one of the four great calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty, was trapped by money before his death, but his works were sold at sky-high prices in later generations. As an old party member Teamin Between, his talent is comparable to Su Shi's, and his career is as bumpy as Su Shi's. Later generations praised him as another example of his great progress in poetry, especially syntax, and his poor writing style but late work since he was relegated to Ganzhou for the first time. It is said that Huang Tingjian is good at running script and cursive script, and the model is his own. His book "History of Song Dynasty" was shot in Poly Spring on June 3, 20 10, and it was fixed at 390 million in less than 6 minutes. Together with the commission, the total transaction amount was 436.8 million yuan, setting a new world record for the auction price of China artworks. The full text is 407 words, which is a million words. But Huang Tingjian was trapped by money before his death. He once laughed at himself for breaking up with Kong Fangxiong. He can't even afford a decent brush, so he has to make do with a soft chicken brush. Who would have thought that this man who was trapped by money before his death, his Mo Bao became a priceless work of art after his death.
It was written by Kevin Z in the Tang Dynasty. According to the book, Zhushan stands in the torrent of the Yellow River and encourages people to "hold the Lantern Festival for their own use". Huang Tingjian likes this article very much and has written it many times.
When Huang Tingjian was demoted to Chongqing, a studious young man took good care of him. "Buy bamboo to make a hedge for me and send rice to cook." The young man's name is Yang. The auction price "Zhu Ming" is addressed to Yang. By the time he wrote the inscription on the pillar, Huang Tingjian knew his destiny and his calligraphy style became more and more mature. This book is "stippling is aboveboard, as loose as a bamboo pole, and the world is quite beautiful." Among them, the expectation for the younger generation and the encouragement for myself are "true, beyond words." Therefore, future generations attach great importance to this work and think that it "should be immortal."
From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the inscriptions on the pillars passed through the hands of many big collectors. Among them, Wang, the "largest collector in the Southern Song Dynasty", Jia Sidao, a powerful figure in the Southern Song Dynasty, was a top connoisseur in the Ming Dynasty. In the first half of the 20th century, the inscriptions on the stone pillars were collected by nearby Japanese museums and bought by a collector in Taiwan Province Province a few years ago.
The auction price is so high that collectors of all ages will not be surprised if they know it. As someone commented: "The inscription on the column is not only priceless, but also an epigram to guide the sages." Its ideological value cannot be measured by money. Moreover, collectors of all ages have paid a high price for this work. According to records, a collector "repurchased it, such as the arch wall." The money spent today is not necessarily cheap. In addition, there are several key factors that can explain the value of this work.
This is a huge scale: in the auction, the original works of famous Song artists are very rare, and such a huge scale is even rarer. In 2009, Ceng Gong's Zhu Ming sold more than 654.38 billion pieces, setting a record for China's calligraphy works at that time. The inscription on the pillar is only over a foot long, almost as big as a general computer screen, while the main part of the inscription on the pillar is over 8 meters long, with a portrait on the front and a postscript on the back, with a total length of 15 meters, which is five stories high.
Second, the order of inheritance: Teacher Shen Fu, director of the Taipei Museum of Old Officials and an expert on Huang Tingjian, had doubts about the authenticity of the inscriptions on pillars in his early years. Later, careful study found that it was an original, and the order of inheritance was an important evidence of its authenticity. The traces of inheritance also add to the artistic value of the post. This work * * * has 182 seals, of which Wang Sixteen-character white seal is very rare. There are 26 inscriptions. The first one is very interesting. It says a man is going to cross the river. After waiting for seven days, the wind and waves were too strong to sail. Local people give advice: Are there any treasures on board? The river god here is very clever. You must let your children cross the river. The man presented three in a row.
Third, market factors: Some collectors have analyzed that the auction price of art has hit record highs because funds have been transferred from the stock market and the property market to the art market. At the same time, he reminded: "Art is a top consumer product as daily consumption, but as an investment, it is a top venture capital product."
Nine hundred years ago, when Huang Tingjian wrote this painting, he didn't consider how much it would cost. Nine hundred years later, when people talk about this work, there is no need to pay too much attention to the astronomical figure of 436.8 million yuan. Today's people, if they can appreciate Huang Tingjian's mood and state of mind at that time because of the popularity of Bureau Notes, that is the greatest value this work has brought to this era.
Huang Tingjian's calligraphy ink is 3 1 kind, all of which are fine prints, mostly letters. There are fifteen kinds of horizontal long scrolls, most of which are works in large characters. The earliest is Zhu, a running script he wrote at the age of 4 1, and Zhu, a running script he wrote at the age of 55, which is now in the National Museum of Tokyo, Japan. The latest one, written in regular script at the age of 58, is now in the Museum of Former Officials in Taipei. Among these ink marks, 2 1 writing time has been verified by scholars, and there are 15 books between 50 and 58 years old.
