These book stalls disappeared at some point in time.

Later, they were transformed into newsstands, and all they sold were newspapers.

Zhang Weiguo would not buy those newspapers, they are useless.

The value of these books is simply not comparable, but those that are suspended can also generate a good profit.

Newsstands are also a good choice. Many people have the habit of reading newspapers and will buy some newspapers to read.

Especially before, some news was delivered through newspapers.

There was nothing else to pass the time, so I just read the newspaper.

A newsstand can easily support a family.

In addition to newspapers, there are also some drinks for sale.

Whenever I run out of change on the bus, I always buy a newspaper.

Now, these bookstalls will definitely be replaced by newspapers, and it is not known how long these bookstalls can exist. While there are still many ancient books, Zhang Weiguo bought them all.

If you can buy a few more copies, others will be able to learn more about this aspect.

Even though these books have been restored, they are still for collection and cannot be shown to others.

If you want to show them to others, you need to copy these books and buy copied versions.

In this way, others can understand the knowledge in the books without destroying them. More importantly, Zhang Weiguo can make money by selling books.

It is not easy to collect so many ancient books. Even if others have some, they will not have so many.

Zhang Weiguo didn't think these ancient books had any value, he just wanted to preserve them because they might be lost in the future.

Thread-bound books were rarely seen later on.

By inviting those uncles to dinner, Zhang Weiguo got to know a mounting master in Panjiayuan.

He learned from a master in the Forbidden City, and after learning enough, he opened his own shop, mainly selling calligraphy and paintings and mounting calligraphy and paintings for others.

The craftsmanship is also impeccable, and they will definitely not damage these ancient books.

These ancient books are not so broken that they cannot be picked up, and such books will not appear on book stalls.

Such books are unreadable. They break at the slightest touch and there is no way to repair them. Such books are difficult to repair. The ones Zhang Weiguo bought were not so seriously damaged.

Some were soaked in water, and some had lost pages, but these were not that difficult to repair.

These books can be repaired quite quickly, mainly by mending the damaged parts and then rebinding them.

Based on the recommendations of these uncles, Zhang Weiguo found the store they mentioned in the Panjiayuan Flea Market.

Zhang Weiguo entered a shop which was full of paintings.

"Hello comrade, are you here to buy a painting?"

"No, it was Elder Wang who recommended me here. I need your help with some work."

"Friend of Mr. Wang, so I will definitely help. What kind of work is it?"

"It's like this. I have a batch of ancient books, but some of them are damaged and need to be repaired. Can this be done?"

"This can be done. How many ancient books are there?"

“Thousands of them.”

"So many?"

"No more, no less."

"That will take quite a while."

"Time is not a problem, as long as it is repaired, I will bring hundreds of them to be repaired."

"Sure, no problem."

"Then how do you calculate the price?"

"How about one hundred copies for thirty bucks?"

"Sure, no problem."

Zhang Weiguo guessed that this was done out of respect for Mr. Wang, otherwise he would definitely charge fifty yuan.

Restoration is a meticulous job and cannot be sloppy at all.

It takes half a month to repair one hundred books.

"Then I'll bring a hundred books tomorrow?"

"No problem."

Zhang Weiguo negotiated the price and planned to go back.

I saw a calligraphy on the wall, a calligraphy by Wen Zhengming.

Among the four great talents, Tang Bohu is the most famous and his calligraphy and paintings are the most popular. The others are not so famous.

However, Zhang Weiguo is different. He likes Wen Zhengming's calligraphy, especially his small regular script.

Wen Zhengming lived to be over ninety years old and left behind a large number of works.

"Boss, how much is this calligraphy?"

"Ten dollars."

"Okay, I like this calligraphy, I'll buy it."

Zhang Weiguo asked the boss to put the painting away.

The boss took the painting down and wrapped it for Zhang Weiguo.

Zhang Weiguo put away the painting and gave the boss ten dollars.

Zhang Weiguo has limited appreciation for calligraphy and painting, and generally does not take the initiative to collect them. However, this is different, as it is the calligraphy of Wen Zhengming, which Zhang Weiguo is most familiar with.

Zhang Weiguo is very familiar with Wen Zhengming's calligraphy and even practiced it for a period of time.

This painting is written by Wen Zhengming, there is nothing wrong with it.

More importantly, this is a piece of calligraphy from Wen Zhengming's later years, and it is considered a masterpiece among his calligraphy works.

Zhang Weiguo was very satisfied to be able to buy such a calligraphy.

Zhang Weiguo took the calligraphy and left, going back to prepare ancient books.

Zhang Weiguo first learned Zhao's calligraphy and then learned Wen Zhengming's calligraphy. He is very familiar with the calligraphy of these two people.

If you come across two people's handwriting, you can still tell the real one from the fake one.

The calligraphy of Emperor Huizong of Song is also very easy to recognize.

Song Huizong was not good at being an emperor, but his attainments in calligraphy and painting were definitely the highest.

Throughout history, there has been no one who has been able to achieve this level.

It can be said that there is no precedent and no successor.

Such people were able to produce sky-blue glaze.

This is the color of the sky clearing up after the rain, which is very rare.

The literati at this time were influenced and many great men emerged, all of whom had profound artistic attainments.

The invented Slender Gold style has been passed down and has been sought after by many people.

Many people learn to write the Slender Gold style, but there are not many people who can write well in the Slender Gold style.

The Song Dynasty left behind a large number of precious calligraphy and paintings, all of which are extremely valuable and are among the best works. Masterpieces like "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" were created at this time.

This is a national treasure among national treasures. I would be satisfied if I could just see it once in my lifetime.

Such a masterpiece is not something you can see whenever you want to. Museums don't exhibit it very often, only once every few years.

Every exhibition is well received by everyone, and many people fly to see it.

Although the viewing time was short, I felt extremely happy just to be able to take a look through the glass.

This is one of the most famous calligraphy and painting circles.

This is the only painting he left behind in his lifetime, and it is this painting that makes this person famous through the ages.

These were all painted under the supervision of Emperor Huizong of Song. His artistic attainments were absolutely of the highest level.

In art, no one can compare with others.

People say they are second, and no one dares to say they are first.

It would be great if Zhang Weiguo could collect a painting of Song Huizong's Slender Gold calligraphy.
