In June 2011, Henan farmer Zhu Yun was idle, turned on the TV to kill time, but saw the news that "Qianlong Yubi "Songyang Hanbotu" was auctioned by Beijing Poly Company for 87.36 million yuan in December 2010" and took a closer look, that "Songyang Hanbotu" is not exactly what he shot in 2009, Zhu Yun still remembers that the treasure expert told himself:
"This thing is an old thing, but it is not a real thing, and it is worth 30,000 yuan." Later, the treasure expert Li Yan also brought a person over, expressing his willingness to buy the "fake" in Zhu Yun's hand at a high price, Liu Yan made a match, and a collector named Cheng Gong bought "Songyang Hanbotu" for 170,000 yuan, and the Zhu Yun brothers still felt that it was worth it.
After all, it is a fake, and it has sold more than 100,000 yuan, although Zhu Yun has some doubts in his heart, but more of a feeling is that it is not clear what these collectors are thinking, so the Zhu Yun brothers did not think too much, and Li Yan is still a treasure expert invited by the TV station, and the credibility is still not low. Where do you know that "Songyang Hanbotu" actually sold for 87.36 million yuan at auction.
After Zhu Yun saw it, he felt that he had been deceived by the so-called experts, and the other party bullied himself into being a farmer, did not understand this knowledge, confused away the real handwriting in his hands, and sold tens of millions. Therefore, as soon as Zhu Yun consulted with his brother, he sued Liu Yan in court.
But the bizarre thing is not here, when collecting evidence, Zhu Yun brothers found that there are two "treasure experts" Liu Yan, they have the same name and surname, the resume is still the same, just one Liu Yan in Dongguan, Guangdong, the other in Beijing, but who is the real treasure expert, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Liu Yan B, an expert involved in the transaction process between Zhu Yun Brothers and Cheng Gong, said that the transaction had nothing to do with him, and he did not clearly state that it was genuine, nor did he say that it was false; the transaction price at that time was also recognized by both parties.
Talking about the background of "Songyang Hanbaitu", in the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), the forty-year-old Qianlong Emperor followed yao yushun's example of hunting the "Five Peaks", so he specially carried out a patrol of Zhongyue, and on the first day of October of that year, the Qianlong Emperor arrived at Songyang Academy, one of the four major academies, saw the Hanbai, and painted the "Songyang Hanbaitu".
Legend has it that Songyang Academy originally had three Han Cypress trees, in the first year of the Yuan Feng (110 BC), Emperor Wu of Han visited Zhongyue, mistakenly named the smallest cypress tree in the academy as "Great General", and saw two larger Han Cypress trees, which found that it was wrong, but the mistake had already occurred, so it would be wrong, and the other two Han Cypress trees were named "Second General" and "Three Generals" in turn.
Later, the oldest and tallest "Three Generals" died, and the people believed that this Han Cypress died of indignation, and it was clear that it should be a great general, and the Qianlong Emperor painted the "Second General" Bai.
What happened to the "Songyang HanBotu" incident? Because the Zhu Yun brothers signed a contract when they traded with Cheng Gong, and there was no evidence to prove that Liu Yan clearly stated that the Songyang HanBotu in Zhu Yun's hand was a fake, Liu Yan won the case.
But through this matter, the treasure community and the collection community have brought a lot of impact, these years, people for cultural relics, collection more attention, treasure experts are also emerging, but how to identify true and false experts? Is there speculation among collectors?
In the 5,000-year history of China, the ancestors have also left many cultural treasures, and there are still many problems in the evaluation of value. After this incident, the mainland has a lot of resistance to Liu Yan, an expert, even if Liu Yan and his wife moved to Hong Kong, they still participated in the activities as treasure experts, but because of the "Songyang HanBotu" incident, Liu Yan's reputation was stinking, so he was not less suspicious of others, and it was also a great pleasure.
