Wang Xianzhi, whose courtesy name was Zijing.

A royal consort of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a calligrapher, poet, and painter.

The seventh son of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, they are collectively known as the Two Wangs.

He is listed as one of the "Four Sages" along with Zhang Zhi, Zhong Yao and Wang Xizhi.

Wang Xianzhi was good at regular script, running script and cursive script.

The regular script has an open style, majestic aura and harmonious rhythm.

The brushwork of running and cursive scripts is agile, unrestrained, bold and powerful.

It had a huge impact on calligraphy in later generations.

All in all, Wang Xianzhi was a great historical figure.

Anyone who is into calligraphy and collecting cultural relics must know him.

So everything he used naturally became a treasure.

But now.

I actually saw Wang Xianzhi's letter here.

So obvious!

Normal people only have one cognition.

That's a fake.

Tang Youde spoke first:

"Brother Zhuang, where did you get this?"

Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhuang Zhou explained:

"Do you believe me when I say it's passed down from our ancestors?"

We are all antique collectors, so we don’t ask about the origin of the items. It’s our professional ethics.

After all, everyone has their own channels.

Maybe it was purchased at a low price.

Maybe it’s other channels that are not available on the surface.

In short, it is something that everyone knows.

So after Zhuang Zhou said this, no one asked any further questions.

Mr. Hou was the oldest. He looked at it carefully for a while and then handed it to Liu Yunhe:

"Old Liu, I'm not as good as you at collecting antiques. Come and take a look."

Liu Yunhe had actually been keeping an eye on him for a long time.

But to be honest, he wasn't sure.

After carefully looking at it for a while, I can only say:

"Today, there are no authentic works of Wang Xianzhi in existence; it can be said that not a single word of his remains.

The so-called letters of Wang Xianzhi are almost all copies from the Tang and Song dynasties.

So, I can only say that this should also be a copy.

But the handwriting is handsome, bold, and full of vigor, and I can’t tell whether it’s real or fake.”

Liu Yunhe's words were very subtle, leaving room for maneuver.

Then, Liu Yunhe said:

"Wang Xianzhi and his father Wang Xizhi are known as the Two Wangs. He not only inherited Wang Xizhi's calligraphy skills but also dared to innovate, thus holding an extremely important position in the calligraphy world.

This cursive script is written very freely and unrestrainedly, giving people a feeling of overflowing vitality.

Such smooth writing is breathtaking.”

After these words were spoken, everyone understood.

In fact, Liu Yunhe also believed in his heart that this calligraphy and painting was an authentic work.

In other words, the contemporary value of this painting is immeasurable.

At this time Tang Youde continued:

"Don't mention it, seeing such an interesting calligraphy copybook makes me want to learn it."

Ma Changbo was not into collecting art, and he also said:

"Mr. Tang is right. This calligraphy looks like it was written by an ancient person. It's really strange!"

Chen Daiming and others also nodded in agreement with this view.

Of course, only Zhuang Zhou knew that this book was brought back from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

It is equivalent to spanning 1,400 years of history.

Just to be honest, this calligraphy and painting was actually created by Wang Xianzhi himself.

Or maybe it was copied by a famous artist from the Tang Dynasty? Zhuang Zhou didn’t know.

Because he didn't even ask.

"Brother Xiaozhuang, could you lend me this piece of Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy so I can look at it and study it?"

Liu Yunhe seemed very sincere.

We are all old acquaintances. I once got 0.1% of the shares of Golden Hammer by painting a Zhang Han calligraphy by Ouyang Xun.

Although there is no dividend yet.

But Zhuang Zhou was very grateful for this.

Naturally, I agreed.

Next, everyone looked at Zhuang Zhou’s collection for a while.

Tang Youde was not interested in calligraphy and paintings, but he had long set his sights on ceramics.

Finally, he begged Zhuang Zhou and sold him five pieces.

Tang Youde was so happy:

"Brother Zhuang, I am determined to recognize you as my brother."

Zhuang Zhou is also doing well, with an income of nearly 400,000 yuan.

The large pieces of rosewood in the warehouse were finally taken over by Liu Yunhe.

The original market price fluctuated between 5,000 and 12,000.

However, the diameter of Zhuang Zhou's large piece of material has exceeded 35 cm.

And the appearance is well preserved in all aspects.

Liu Yunhe simply bought it at the market price of 10,000 yuan per catty.

The total amount is 3 million.

Although the aniseed weighed 319 kilograms.

But the outer skin and other miscellaneous items still have to be deducted, and Zhuang Zhou has already checked it online.

Generally speaking, the skin and the inside of this kind of spices are useless.

This only deducts 19 kilograms, which is considered a profit.

Liu Yunhe obviously doesn't care much about these things.

However, Zhuang Zhou's move undoubtedly made him feel more favorable towards him.

Especially Mr. Hou and Ma Changbo, they are all veterans in the antique industry.

I am well aware of the various practices of this industry.

There are too many people now who want to get a piece of the pie in this circle.

Especially young people who have just entered the industry, there are too many who like to take advantage of small advantages, and there are also many who are sneaky and cunning.

But today, after doing business with Zhuang Zhou, they not only got a good treasure.

The money has been spent, and the key is that I feel good about it.

That's the fun of antiques.

So young people like Zhuang Zhou are really admirable.

Now several people have bought new clothes.

Ma Changbo and Hou Lao were certainly unwilling to be left behind.

Therefore, Zhuang Zhou's pair of agarwood paperweights undoubtedly became the most sought-after items.

This pair of agarwood paperweights is made from a whole agarwood log, which is divided into two semi-circular pieces.

26 cm long, 7.3 cm wide, 3.5 cm thick.

The weight is 539g.

The overall color is glossy, reddish-brown, and made according to the shape.
