Chapter 70 Anecdote of Zhu Da
Wang Xing knew that he had no face to stay here. Despite this, he still put down a harsh sentence before leaving: "Hao Huai, remember it for me, Wang Xing will definitely find my face for a few days."
"I, Hao Huai, are always waiting."
Hao Huai raised a middle finger at Wang Xing. Obviously, in his eyes, even if a person like Wang Xing kneels to make friends with him, he will not look down on him. In fact, some people cannot be friends, and Wang Xing is obviously different from Wang Lao's side with his father and son.
"Xiao Hao, you'd better call Xiao Wang back and make up. He's not a good person, so as not to cause trouble for himself in the future."
"You are always too weak, so you are bullied by that bastard Wang Xing." Hao Huai thought to himself, but he did not point out other people's shortcomings, but just smiled and said, "Don't worry about me anymore, such a person is not a problem."
"Hey!" Li Wenruo sighed, but did not continue to persuade Hao Huai.
After the review team left, Hao Huai didn't understand something in his mind, so he turned around and asked Li Wenruo: "Old man, who is that Bada Shanren Zhu Da?"
"Xiao Hao, what are you kidding? Could it be that you want to test me as an old guy, to see if I am qualified to be a colleague with you?"
Li Wenruo had just seen Hao Huai's ability to identify calligraphy and paintings. Because of this, he was positive about Hao Huai's ability to identify Hao Huai. It is a very necessary task for an appraiser to identify who the author is through calligraphy and paintings.
Hao Huai knew that in the eyes of others, he had obviously become a real appraiser, so he was too lazy to say that he didn't know how to identify at all. Too modest sometimes makes people mistakenly think that he was too proud, so he changed his question.
"You misunderstood? I just want to share my experience with you. After all, there must be my teacher in the threesome. Can you discuss it?"
Seeing that Hao Huai was not arrogant or impatient at such a young age, Li Wenruo had to look up to him even more. Afterwards, Li Wenruo introduced the doubts in Hao Huai's heart.
"Bada Shanren" is the nickname of "Zhu Da", a painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He is from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, the ninth generation grandson of Zhu Quan, the King of Xian of Ming and Ning, and a painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He is later called one of the "Four Monks" in the painting world in the early Qing dynasties.
Speaking of Zhu Da, this person is very interesting. He was originally from Houyi, the Ming royal family, and after the Ming Dynasty was replaced by the "Manchu Qing Dynasty", he became a monk in pain.
Zhu Da's name at that time was named Ren'an. He also used the nickname Xuege, Geshan, Geshan Donkey, Donkey House, etc., and later changed to Taoism, but he always regarded himself as a survivor of the Ming Dynasty and refused to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty.
Whether it is a masterpiece or a simple sketch, Zhu Da's works express his thoughts in symbolic ways. The fish, duck, etc. he paints all look at the sky with his eyes rolling his eyes, reflecting his strong stubbornness and unwillingness to compromise.
Zhu Da's brushwork is unrestrained, vigorous, round and elegant, and elegant, with a simple and refreshing style. The composition and structure are never concise and unconventional. The sentence "seeking completeness in incompleteness" is the biggest overview of his art.
He is usually called "Zhu Da", but this name was used for a short time. In his later years, he took the title of "Bada Shanren" and used it until his death. When he signed his paintings, he often wrote "Bada" and "Shanren" in a vertical manner. The first two characters are like the word "cry" and "laugh", and the last two characters are like the word "zhi". When he cries, he means he can't laugh or cry.
Zhu Da is good at flowers, birds, landscapes, and his flowers and birds inherit the tradition of freehand flower and bird paintings of "Xu Wei" and developed into a broad-brush freehand painting method.
Zhu Da's painting style is characterized by using symbolic meaning techniques, exaggerating the flowers, birds, fish and insects drawn, and using their unique images and concise shapes to highlight the images in the painting.
Highlighting the main point is a major feature of Zhu Da's painting style. He often paints birds and fish eyes as "bowing their eyes to others" to express his arrogant and cynical character. Of course, he also means "Blooding the Qing Dynasty" at that time, but he created an unprecedented flower and bird shape.
Old Man Bai Shi once wrote a poem that illustrates Zhu Da’s previous generations and later generations.
"Qing Tengxue is a mortal body, and Mr. Feng was a unique talent back then. I was originally a lackey, and the three families are here to get the wheel of the wheel."
The meaning of this poem is very simple, which represents the worship of the three ancient calligraphers and painters by Mr. Bai Shi. Among them, "Qing Teng" is also known as "Xu Wei", "Yue Lao" is "Wu Changshuo", and among them, "Xue Ge" is the Bada Shanren - Zhu Da.
"So that's the case. It's the same as I think. You are so knowledgeable!"
After hearing Li Wenruo's words, Hao Huai also had a certain understanding of Zhu Da and had a general concept of calligraphy and painting appraisal. He also met Zhu Da, one of the four monks in the painting world in the early Qing Dynasty. However, he did not know the auction price of Zhu Da's works.
"Treasure appraisal is naturally inseparable from valuation. So, according to your old age, what price should the painting be just now?"
After hearing Hao Huai's words, Li Wenruo also gave the price of the painting just now, but because the painting was a "track work" by Zhu Da without any meaning, he only gave a "500,000" valuation.
"You can buy 500,000 yuan for any casual work, so Zhu Da's fine paintings should be very high."
Hao Huai was curious, but he couldn't show it clearly. He smiled at Li Wenruo: "Old man, I wonder how do you know about the auction market of Zhu Da's paintings?"
"The appraisal of the value of calligraphy and painting is closely related to the author himself and the number of works that exist. Of course, it depends on whether it is a fine painting. But in my opinion, there is actually no standard price for antique collections, but only a market price, and this market price is also uncertain. However, in recent years, Bada Shanren's fine paintings have also been sent abroad for a transaction price of over 100 million yuan. At that time, the "Bamboo and Stone Mandarin Duck" was sold at a price of 118.7 million yuan."
Hao Huai swallowed, but he didn't expect that a painting would be so valuable. Although he didn't say it, he was also holding his heart to hope that he would be lucky enough to get a pair of Zhu Da's finest products in the future.
"My grandpa, can you tell me about the company's procedures and rules and regulations?"
Hao Huai's purpose of coming here is not just to be an appraiser. He came here to be able to rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade and use his connections at the Tianya Auction to make a profit. But just now he also realized that as an appraiser, he had no chance to get in touch with the treasure master, so he wanted to learn some of the situation from Li Wenruo.
Hao Huai learned from Li Wenruo that things were not as simple as he thought at the beginning, because all the company departments were separated, and the only one who could really see the treasure holder was the deputy general manager of the company. The deputy general manager would hand it over to the review team, who had discussed many aspects of appraisal to obtain the authenticity and the final starting price.
"So that's the case. It seems that I thought it was too simple at the beginning. It seems that I need to be promoted to deputy general manager to have the opportunity to master the channels."
Hao Huai was not disappointed because he was unable to be effective immediately. Instead, he had the intention of working in the company for a long time and was determined to be the deputy general manager as soon as possible.
