Collection of Gods

Chapter 17 The Founding Master

Sun Fu was sitting down again, and the cheongsam woman gently placed the tray full of seals in front of the two of them. Tang Yuan looked at the seals of different shapes and glowing with a warm luster, and couldn't help but reveal a little exuberance on his face.

"Seal collection basically follows these two types."

"The first type is Tibetan seals, which means appreciating the beauty of the metal and stone in the seal carvings, the vicissitudes of the poems in the margins, and the beauty of the seals in the leisurely and interesting words."

"The second type is hidden stone, which means appreciating the translucency of the seal stone and the natural carving of the seal. Tianhuang stone and chicken blood stone are especially valuable."

After Sun Fuzheng sat down, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and then picked out a seal from the tray: "For example, this Shoushan three-color lychee figure button seal. Although it was not made by a famous artist, it is precious due to its preciousness." The material and exquisite carving make it a work of art.”

Tang Yuan imitated Sun Fuzheng's actions, first picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then took the Shoushan three-color lychee figure Niu Fangzhang from Sun Fuzheng's hand and looked at it carefully.

The three colors of deep red, light yellow, and pure white gradually transition and change from top to bottom. On top of the pure white cube seal, there is a lifelike carved old man sitting. The whole thing is natural and looks particularly clear and natural.

Tang Yuan didn't just enjoy it for himself. He played with it for a moment and then handed it to Wen Muxue beside him.

"Mr. Sun, does a square seal like this have collectible value?"

Tang Yuan asked with interest.

"of course."

"The collection value of a seal mainly depends on six aspects: the user, the age, the condition, the material, the sealing craftsmanship, and the use."

"Take this Shoushan three-color lychee stone figure button seal as an example. Its appearance and material are of high quality, so it naturally has a certain collection value."

Sun Fuzheng saw that Tang Yuan probably didn't know much about seal collection, so he smiled and spread the relevant knowledge about seal collection to Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan then asked: "Mr. Sun, how much is this Shoushan three-color lychee figure button seal worth approximately?"

"I received this square seal from a friend ten years ago for 3 yuan. Now the market price should be almost 5 yuan." Sun Fuzheng replied.

Tang Yuan nodded slightly but said nothing.

Next, Sun Fuzheng took out several seals of the same level as the Shoushan three-color lychee stone figure button seal for Tang Yuan and Wen Muxue to taste, such as Qingtian stone animal button seal, Shoushan high mountain stone animal button seal, Shoushan white lychee stone Bogu seal Niu Fangzhang and so on.

These seals are all of excellent quality and material, and thus have become collectibles. Most of them do not have seal inscriptions. Even if there are seal inscriptions, most of the engravers are unknown people, and the value of these seals is basically Below 10 yuan.

"Mr. Sun, you are a great collector of seals. You should also have seals made by famous people."

Tang Yuan had almost seen these seals with initial collection value. He gradually became a little unsatisfied and asked about seals with higher collection value.

"Ha ha……"

"There are some."

"I've prepared everything for you in advance."

Sun Fuzheng laughed twice, and then picked out a square, ordinary-looking rectangular seal from among the many seals on the tray. After gently wiping it, he handed it to Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan took the seal and looked at it carefully with the help of light.

It is obvious that this is a seal made of Qingtian stone. The upper part is sapphire color, with some natural texture of jade, but the bottom part is cinnabar red. The two colors gradually intersect, which looks unique and beautiful. "Wu Yun belongs to Mu Fu."

There were six engraved characters on the side wall of this seal. Tang Yuan looked at it carefully for a moment before reluctantly reading it out. Then he looked at the seal at the bottom of the seal, and after studying it carefully for a while, he read out the seal message smoothly. : "Spend a full moon and live a long life?"

"Do you know who Mu Fu is?"

Sun Fu was looking at Tang Yuan's serious look and suddenly asked.

"Mu Fu?" Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I know who Du Fu is, but I really don't know who Mu Fu is."

“Collecting seals without knowing Mufu is like collecting calligraphy and painting without knowing Wang Xizhi.”

"Huang Shiling, whose courtesy name is Mufu, was a painter, calligrapher, and seal engraver in the late Qing Dynasty. He was also the founding master of the "Yishan School" of seal engraving. His seal arrangements are smooth and ingenious, his sword skills are powerful, and he is smooth and clean. "

"At an auction, as long as Huang Shiling's seal appears, it will definitely cause competition from all parties. The Qingtian stone seal in your hand is well preserved and in excellent condition. Even among Huang Shiling's many works, it can be regarded as a masterpiece. It’s done.”

Sun Fuzheng shook his head, feeling a little helpless that Tang Yuan didn't even know about Huang Shiling, but he still introduced it to Tang Yuan, because as a seal collector, being able to share his collection with others is a blessing in itself.

"So this seal has such a great origin, what is its value?"

Tang Yuan appreciated it for a moment, and then handed it to Wen Muxue out of habit. After listening to Sun Fuzheng's introduction, Wen Muxue was also very interested in the seal, so she took it and observed it carefully.

"Six years ago, I successfully bought this seal at the Poly Spring Auction. The transaction price that year was 41. If it were put up for auction in an auction house now, the valuation would be more than 50."

Faced with Tang Yuan's inquiry, Sun Fuzheng responded somewhat lightly.

When Tang Yuan heard this, his expression did not change. However, Wen Muxue, who was sitting next to Tang Yuan, found it difficult to remain calm. The moment she heard the price, her pupils suddenly shrank, and then she felt a feeling in her hand. This small seal suddenly became as important as a thousand pieces.

50?
What is this concept?
It’s enough to pay for the latest model of Mercedes-Benz E!
In other words, this small seal is worth a Mercedes-Benz E? !
Outrageous!

absurd!

Wen Muxue's pink worldview was severely impacted again.

"The price of 50 yuan for a master-level collection is quite reasonable." Tang Yuan smiled and said again: "Mr. Sun, are you willing to part with this seal? The price is negotiable."

Wen Muxue, who had just calmed down, heard what Tang Yuan said. She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Tang Yuan, with a look of shock in her eyes. Although she knew that Tang Yuan was very, very rich, she spent 50 yuan just to buy it. A seal, which she obviously couldn't understand.

Facing Tang Yuan's attention, Sun Fuzheng said with a smile: "I said, I am just an appreciator. If you like it, little friend Tang, then you can take it away."

"Old Sun is so generous!"

"Hahaha, I actually feel a little distressed."

"If you always promise, you can't go back on it."

"That's not so."

"Keep going……"
