As we all know, Beijing, as the capital of China, has become the most expensive city in China with its superior geographical and economic conditions. Of all the rooms, the most expensive is the quadrangle in Beijing. How expensive is it? In June this year, the auction price of a quadrangle was as high as 255 million yuan, and the price per square meter was 250 thousand yuan, which was staggering.

But today, the man that Ba Liangmei wanted to introduce sold his quadrangle at a low price of 200,000 yuan, saying that it was for an ancient calligraphy work dating back to 1700. What happened?

This happened during the Republic of China. Although the price of quadrangles at that time was not as good as it is now, it was still valuable. At that time, the famous painter Zhang Daqian specially prepared 500 taels of gold to buy a courtyard house in Qing Dynasty. Although I didn't buy it in the end, it is enough to see that the price of quadrangles was not low at that time.
