The old man searched for a while on the shelf, then pulled out a rather heavy book from it, hugged it, and walked over.
This book Yang Jin recognized that it took his grandfather a long time to make a set of books by himself.
That's right, this book was not bought, but made by my grandfather and his old man little by little.
There are a total of five volumes in this set of books, all of which are about paper, Yang Jing didn't read much when he was a child, but at that time there were only three volumes in this set of books, and the last two volumes were made in the two years before his grandfather's illness.
Fortunately, Yang Jing often read these books when he was a child, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see the five pages of Song Shu carvings in "Between the Flowers" today.
These five volumes are all introductions and analyses of the paper that appeared in ancient China in China.
In addition to photographs and some paper samples, the contents of the book are the characteristics and subtle differences of these papers summarized by my grandfather himself.
According to my grandfather's own words, the reason why it took more than 20 years to produce these five books is that my grandfather bought a fake painting one day in the 80s when he went to the Diling ghost market, which first appeared in Tianqu.
Yang Jing had also seen that painting, and that painting had been hanging in this room all along.
Yang Jing involuntarily looked up at the painting that had been hanging next to the bookshelf.
It is an ink painting of two small birds standing on two intersecting branches, one looking up at something, and the other looking down and arranging its feathers with its beak.
Although the picture is very simple, Yang Jing knows that this painting is not simple.
If the painting is genuine, it is worth a lot.
This painting is historically the painting of Zhu Qi, a member of the Bada Shanren.
And Zhu Qi's paintings, now the average auction price of one square foot at auction has exceeded 4 million national dollars!
It is a pity that the painting, although it looks vivid, is a fake.
This painting, called "Dead Wood and Birds", was once collected by the famous calligrapher and painter seal carver and collector Feng Kanghou, and later collected by the famous calligrapher, painter and collector Wang Jiqian, and has never been lost to the people.
On the authentic work of "Dead Wood and Birds", there is an old title of Mr.
Feng Kanghou: "Bada Mountain People and Partridges Come to Tongtu", which mistakes the two birds for starlings, and the dead wood for paulownia trees.
It means that after he collected this painting, he mistook the two birds in the painting for starlings, and the two dead branches for plane trees, and gave the painting such a name.
Later, after the painting was collected by Mr.
Wang Jiqian, Mr.
Wang made an inscription and a side note for the painting, and printed a collection seal on the painting.
When my grandfather bought this fake, it was in '86.
According to his grandfather, he met an old man with a southern accent in the ghost market where Tianqu first appeared, that is, the ghost market in Diling, the old man must be over 60 years old, dressed very decently, plus that Hong Kong Island Mandarin, at a glance, he knew that this old man should be a Hong Kong Island compatriot.
At that time, my grandfather was very curious, so he asked this old man what he was doing in this kind of ghost market?
The old man said that he was from Hong Kong Island and was going to go to Beijing to do business, but because of his greed, he admired Tianqu's grilled chicken, so he stayed in Tianqu for two days.
He also heard that there was a ghost market here, so he came to the ghost market early in the morning to take a stroll.
My grandfather was also fifty years old in eighty-six years, and the age difference between the two was not much, and then they chatted, but in the chat, the old man inadvertently said that he had a piece of Zhu Qi's "Dead Wood and Birds" in his hand, which was left after the death of the old man in the family, and he entered Beijing this time in addition to doing business, which was to sell this painting.
When my grandfather heard the news, he immediately became interested, and after chatting again, he learned that this old man was the eldest son of Feng Kanghou, a famous calligrapher and seal carver on Hong Kong Island, who died in 83 years.
The old man liked calligraphy and painting very much, so he begged the old man to see the painting.
In that 80s, the land of China had just experienced turmoil, and many precious ancient paintings and calligraphy were burned in that turbulent era.
Originally, the old man did not agree, but his grandfather begged for help, and the old man reluctantly agreed.
In the end, my grandfather didn't even go to work that day, so he followed the old man to the Tianqu Municipal Party Committee Guest House.
In fact, my grandfather was a little suspicious of the old man's identity at first, after all, when my grandfather was a child, he often followed the elders of the family to visit the ghost market in Sijiu City, and he knew very well that some cats were tired.
As a result, when I saw that people lived here, the doubts in my heart immediately went to nine points.
At that time, the people who could live in the guest house of the municipal party committee were not ordinary people, not to mention ordinary people, they couldn't even enter the gate, and there were really armed police soldiers standing guard at the door.
This old gentleman can live here, at least there is no problem with his identity.
In the hotel room, my grandfather saw the picture of dead wood and birds.
Because I didn't have much doubt about the identity of this old man, and the painting was really impeccable, my grandfather didn't find anything wrong with it after reading it several times, so he fell in love with this painting and offered to buy it.
But the price of this painting was quite expensive even in the eighties, the old man said that his grandfather couldn't afford this painting, and his grandfather really didn't have so much money at that time, after all, even in that era, this painting cost at least one million Hong Kong dollars, and my grandfather was just an ordinary worker, how could he afford this painting?
As a result, my grandfather was provoked by the old man, and immediately took off a piece of Hetian jade plate left by his grandfather.
According to my grandfather's later words, the jade plate was the Hetian jade of the Eight Classics, although it did not reach the level of seed jade, but it was also the material of the Eight Classics.
And the most important thing is that the jade plate is the heirloom of his old Li family, which has been passed down from his grandfather's generation, and the jade plate alone has been plated for hundreds of years.
The jade plate that came out of the document plate is extremely valuable, maybe not worth a million Hong Kong dollars, but it is estimated that it is not much worse.

In that era, although Hetian jade was also more valuable, what was more valuable was the jade that came out of the plate, especially the jade that came out of the Wenpan.
If it weren't for the fact that my grandfather really liked that painting, he wouldn't have come up with this family heirloom.
This jade plaque really touched the old man's heart, so in the end, my grandfather exchanged the jade plaque for the painting.
If this painting is Zhu Qi's original handiwork, then such an exchange is fair and appropriate, but the problem is that this painting is a fake.
My grandfather happily went home with this painting in his arms and admired it for several days, but one day he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
So my grandfather asked an old friend to help me look at the painting, but after seeing the painting, my grandfather's old friend also said that something was wrong.
In the end, my grandfather found the old curator of the Tianqu Museum to help him, and the old curator was also a big man in the circle, and after checking it for a long time, he judged that the painting was a fake.
The painting itself is very good, and there is no flaw in it, and the old curator saw the problem on the drawing paper.
