Chapter 807 The greatness of etiquette, the beauty of service chapters
"Anyway, it happened hundreds of years ago, and I can't explain it clearly now." At this time, Fang Mingsheng smiled and said, "I'll give you something. I hope you like it."
Wang Guan smiled and said that it was not worth mentioning, but the things were exquisite and could be collected and viewed. If you were tired of enjoying them, you would probably earn hundreds of thousands of dollars by selling them in Shiyi Pavilion.
At this time, it was still deeper in the night, but maybe because he had drunk a lot of wine during dinner, Fang Mingsheng was in high spirits. After giving the gift, he actually stood up and invited him, "Wang Guan, are you interested in going to my room to check it out?"
Isn't this nonsense? Of course I'm interested. When Wang Guan heard this, he didn't expect to refuse and agreed without thinking. Although he had doubts about Fang Mingsheng's character, it is undeniable that he is rich and willing to spend money to buy things. Then there must be many treasures in the storage room.
As a competent expert, Wang Guan naturally would not miss the opportunity to appreciate treasures.
"Please..."
Fang Mingsheng, smiling and leading his hand, took Wang Guan around the bush and came to a tightly blocked room. After walking in, Wang Guan raised his eyes around him, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
It should be noted that this is just one of Fang Mingsheng's palaces, so there are definitely not many things to collect. It is about twenty or thirty square meters, and only seven or eight things are placed.
Of course, there is no doubt that these things are definitely rare objects and can definitely be called treasures. However, first of all, we can rule out that Daqian Painting Red Fu Nu. This is the scroll that was put in. It has been viewed and there is no need to waste time.
"Come here to see how this thing is."
As the owner, Fang Mingsheng was very dedicated and greeted Wang Guan to the middle of the room to show him the most proud collection in the whole room.
Pay attention, it is just the best collection in this room, not the best things Fang Mingsheng has collected. However, if he can recommend it so proudly, the things will definitely not be bad.
The truth is the same. Wang Guan walked over and saw that he was a little surprised. He saw that the thing was a hat... Well, the hat is a modern word. If it were in ancient times, it should be called a crown or a crown.
"Nine-Shaped Crown!"
Wang Guan looked carefully and said with a strange expression: "Is it true or imitation?"
No wonder Wang Guan asked this question, mainly because of the things like crowns, which were only emperors and princes in ancient times were qualified to use. Not to mention ordinary people, even if they were not qualified officials, it would definitely be a matter of beheading.
As for what the crown is, many people don’t know.
In fact, as long as you pay more attention to the costume palace dramas, you should see the emperor wearing a hat on his head. It is a flat plate with strings of hanging beads in front and back, shaking as the emperor's head swings, that is the crown.
It should be noted that this is a unique label for the Han emperor. There is a difference between the ethnic minority emperors and the Han emperors, so don’t confuse them. For example, the Qing emperors had a round hat like a pot lid, while the Han and Tang emperors had a crown.
The ancients had certain regulations on clothing, and did not make it arbitrarily. Legend has it that the ancients used to look up at the celestial phenomena and the earth, respect the virtues of heaven and earth, and imitate the gorgeous patterns of nature, so that they formulated the rules of clothing and rules, and distinguished between titles and ranks, nobles and lows. It is said that the word Huaxia first described clothing etiquette.
"China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of clothing and seal, so it is called Hua."
"The crown and garment are called Hua, and the great country is called Xia."
In ancient times, our ancestors used linen to weave clothes and then invented silk. At that time, it was estimated that the surrounding tribes were still in a very low-level stage of eating raw blood and drinking blood, and even wearing animal skins to play with stones.
This is how humans are, perhaps because of social attributes, or because of nature. Anyway, they always like to compare and get a higher score, so they formulated a strict clothing etiquette system.
But if you are both crowns, how can you distinguish between superiors and inferiors?
This small problem is definitely not difficult for the smart ancients. After all, there are strings of hanging beads before and after the crown. As long as you write articles on these hanging beads, you can easily solve this problem.
These hanging beads are generally called crown beads. The two hanging beads in front and back are made of colorful silk threads and are made of colorful round beads. The number of beads is determined by the wearer's identity. There are three, five, seven, nine, and twelve parts. The twelve beads are the most noble and are the only ones for the emperor.
As for the nine-stage crown in front of me, it is an item of the first level of the prince, prince and prince.
However, for well-known reasons, this kind of Han emperor crown was definitely the target of severe crackdown in the Qing Dynasty, and it was even more impossible for physical objects to be passed down. Even if there were, it was either unearthed cultural relics or imitations, so Wang Guan had this question.
"What do you think?" Fang Mingsheng asked with a smile.
"This is hard to say."
Wang Guan pondered, "I remember that there seemed to be only two real objects in the imperial crown. One was the antique emperor crown worn by Yuan Shikai during the restoration of the Chinese History Museum, and the other was the Nine Crown unearthed from Zhu Tanling, the King of Luhuang. However, since Yuan Shikai's emperor crown has never been recognized by everyone, the only real one is the Nine Crown of Luhuang King."
"Looking closely, this Nine-Crown Crown Crown is really similar to that of King Lu's Nine-Crown Crown."
The thing was placed in the glass cabinet, and Wang Guan couldn't take a closer look, so he could only make these judgments. However, considering Fang Mingsheng's solemn introduction, he suspected it was the authentic one.
Thinking of this, Wang Guan couldn't help but glance at Fang Mingsheng. If the thing was genuine, it could only explain one thing. I guess the tomb of another prince was stolen.
However, Fang Mingsheng had no intention of admitting it, and just laughed and said, "Didn't you say it? No matter whether it is true or false, it's enough to be beautiful anyway."
For a moment, Wang Guan secretly curled his lips, how could this be the same? The nature is completely different. But he felt that Fang Mingsheng was perfunctory, so the possibility of something being the real product is greater.
Despite this, Wang Guan had no intention of exposing it, but just nodded in agreement and said, "It's very beautiful. The surface is covered with silk and black paint, and gold circles and gold edges. Nine strings of jade beads hung in front and back, which also means that the hall is full of gold and jade."
"That's right..." Fang Mingsheng nodded repeatedly, then smiled and said, "Let's take a look at this again. I have tried my best to get it."
The word "seeking" means that things are not simple. Wang Guan also followed the flow of good things and looked at them with the flow, only to find it unexpected and reasonable. He saw that the thing was a wooden fish, a very simple wooden fish.
"This is the relic of a great monk from Baiyun Temple in Yangcheng."
At this time, Fang Mingsheng explained with a smile: "The master has been using this wooden fish to recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name all his life to eliminate disasters and solve problems for believers. After his death, I prayed for a long time before I asked the abbot to agree to give me the magic weapon."
Seeing Fang Mingsheng's excited look, Wang Guan was also speechless.
This thing is definitely a bit precious. After all, it is a relic of a monk. For those who believe in religion, such things must be a very precious magic weapon. But if you say it is precious, it doesn’t seem to be very valuable. After all, the material of wooden fish is ordinary cypress, and even if the production process is exquisite, the price will definitely not be overwhelming.
Of course, Wang Guan didn’t mean to despise it. After all, the collection industry itself is full of uncertainty. You really like something. No matter how others think it is worth it, it is not a loss.
Obviously, for Fang Mingsheng, this wooden fish has a very meaningful meaning. He offered it as a treasure. Wang Guan can understand that even if he doesn't agree with it in his heart, he won't say much on the surface.
"Tu tu tu..."
At the right time, Fang Mingsheng rang the wooden fish. When he heard the crisp and pleasant sound, his smile slightly restrained and his expression was quite calm. Even if it was a psychological effect, it also showed that it was not unfair for him to collect this thing.
“…I’m rude.”
After a while, Fang Mingsheng realized that the time was wrong, so he quickly put away Mu Yu, smiled embarrassedly, and then turned around and instructed: "Look at how this thing is."
"Oil painting?" Wang looked at it and frowned.
"That's right, it's oil painting." Fang Mingsheng smiled and said, "I bought the things in the United States, are they okay?"
"Well……"
Wang Guan blinked and hesitated: "Boss Fang, don't you think this painting looks familiar?"
It looks familiar and often appears in collections of world-famous paintings. The famous Van Gogh Sunflower probably has never seen anyone who paints the real painting, but he should have heard of the name of this painting.
"I know what you want to say. Do you think I was deceived and bought a fake?" Fang Mingsheng laughed and said, "In fact, this is a fake. A well-known American painter copied Van Gogh's famous paintings, which is only tens of thousands, and it is not very expensive."
Wang Guan smiled and felt very bright. This currency unit worth more than 100,000 is definitely US dollars. Of course, since he didn't know much about oil painting, he just nodded perfunctorily when Fang Mingsheng commented and did not make any comments.
Fang Mingsheng also realized that Wang Guan was not very interested. After saying a few more words, he continued to attract Wang Guan to appreciate other things. For example, the jade bowl during the Qianlong period, the porcelain plate paintings of Bayou Zhushan during the Republic of China, and the works of the great painter Guan Shanyue.
Guan Shanyue is a famous painter, a native of Guangdong Province and a representative figure of the Lingnan School of Painting. His works are probably the most famous of them in the huge Chinese paintings created in the Great Hall of the People - so beautiful.
However, Mr. Guan Shanyue is famous for painting plums. Fang Mingsheng collects his classic plum paintings. A red plum blossom branch suddenly appears in the cliffs. There are clouds, mountains, fogs and seas in the distance. The composition is dangerous and powerful, and it is a rare artistic treasure.
“Good painting.”
Seeing this painting, Wang Guan only felt his eyes lit up. After watching it for a long time, he reluctantly retracted his gaze, then turned to look at the last item in Fang Mingsheng's room.
