After xie bo retired, he became fascinated with collecting, and a few years ago he spent 100,000 yuan to buy a "rotten bamboo pen holder for insect moths" from others, and thought that he had found a treasure, and some people came to the house as a guest, and always liked to show it off. A pen holder made of rotten bamboo chips with mold and moths is worth more than 100,000 yuan! Do you believe it? When Sheber showed me this rotten pen holder, I couldn't believe it! How can a rotten pen holder that no one wants to pick up on the road be worth more than 100,000 yuan? I don't believe it!
Xie Bo is a retired school doctor at Huaqiao Middle School in Meixian County, Meizhou, Guangdong Province, and a former old colleague who used to chat together often and is an old acquaintance. In the past, when we were together, although he would joke, this time he didn't talk like a joke at all. Is he confused? Sheber is in his 70s, and it is not surprising that he will be a little confused at this age. But he has often danced square dance in recent years, and has won awards in square dance competitions with a group of elderly friends. Listening to him speak articulately, his thinking is also very clear, and his mental state is not inferior to that of young people, and he can't see the slightest confusion at all.
Since it is not an old fool, how can it be said that the pen holder made of rotten bamboo pieces with mold and moths is worth at least more than 100,000 yuan? I think this rotten bamboo pen holder should be some years old, the surface is gray and white, it looks like mold, there are many large and small insect eyes, and I can hardly see the original green or yellow of the bamboo skin, as if it is a bamboo product that has been discarded in a broken house for a long time.
After his retirement, Xie Bo fell in love with collecting antiques, among which his collection of 44 copies of the imperial Kangxi Dictionary was more precious. A few months ago, the director of the library of Jiaying College, accompanied by Teacher Liang Dexin, made a special trip to Xie Bo's home to enjoy the Kangxi Dictionary.
This rotten bamboo pen holder is also a treasure from Xie Bo's collection, worth more than 100,000 yuan? Could it be that the pen holder used by which celebrity? I think, even if a celebrity has used it, a pen holder made of rotten bamboo pieces should not be worth 100,000 yuan? Could it be that the person who collects the pen holder wants to be crazy for money?
Xie Bo said to me very firmly that this pen holder is extraordinary, from the hands of famous artists, it is made of purple sand, and a purple sand pen holder is worth more than 100,000 yuan. "Pen holder made of purple sand?" How come I didn't see it? I looked at Sheber with a suspicious look and asked.
I held up the pen holder in my left hand, tapped the pen holder gently with the knuckles of my right hand, and heard the sound of the crisp ceramic, and I believed that it was really a ceramic pen holder. Looking at the inner wall of the pen holder, it is smooth inside, obviously not made of bamboo pieces. The edge of the barrel of the pen holder, a piece of high and low "bamboo chips" and "bamboo segments" incisions, most of them have large or small, more or less "insect moth" traces, and ordinary rotten bamboo pieces are no different.
The exterior of this purple sand pen holder is made up of high-fidelity bamboo pieces, semi-circular bamboo pieces and round bamboo segments. The proportion of the knots and dents of each piece of bamboo is appropriate, there are cracks in different shades and lengths on the bamboo skin, there are young bamboo buds above the bamboo knots, the saw marks left by the horizontal and longitudinal sawing of fresh bamboo pieces are also very realistic, the cavity of the insect moth is very natural, and even the moldy white spots on the inner wall of the bamboo pieces are delicate and vivid, vivid and vivid. In addition to the overall smoothness of the inner wall of the pen holder and the shape of the outer wall, the other parts of the appearance are no different from the real bamboo pieces, and their realism is breathtaking.
By placing the pen holder upside down, you can see that the bottom of the pen holder is like a round bamboo tube bundled together, and most of the bamboo knots have cracks. The cracks on the edges are also connected to the cracks in the outer wall of the pen holder, like natural cracks. Looking at the entire bamboo pen holder, the degree of simulation is unprecedented, and whether there is no one after it dares to make conclusions easily, but it is certainly difficult for anyone to make such a realistic bamboo pen holder.
In the center of the bottom of the pen holder there is a square seal with 15 characters inscribed on it, "Qing Xi Leng Bajia, Mi Feng Nian Bamboo Section, Dao Guang Nian Yang Ji", and the handwriting is neat and beautiful. Xiling Bajia refers to the school of seal carving centered on Xiling in Hangzhou in the Qing Dynasty. It is composed of eight seal engravers, including Ding Jing, Jiang Ren, Huang Yi, Xi Gang, Chen Yuzhong, Chen Hongshou, Zhao Zhichen, and Qian Song. Their seal engraving style is all mastered by The Qin and Han Dynasties, paying attention to the sword technique, vigorous and simple, so they are collectively called "Xiling Eight Families".
Yang Fengnian is always recognized as the most famous pot-making female artist in the Qing Dynasty, and the sister of Yang Pengnian. Her many heirloom works, especially the production of "bamboo pot" and "bamboo pen holder" fame, known as the Qing Dynasty purple sand art circle. Her bamboo purple sand pen holder is a work of the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, that is, a purple sand work after she became famous. Her purple sand bamboo pen holder is not only cleverly conceived, fully embodying the meticulous observation of women, but also the production technology is more mature and sophisticated, the work is delicate and realistic, to the extent that it can be faked and true, which is more sophisticated than the purple sand pot famous during the Jiaqing period, compared with the works of her brother Yang Pengnian.
Xie Bo's Collection of Yang Fengnian Purple Sand Bamboo Pen Holder, as a testimony to the cooperation between purple sand masters and Xiling Eight, is even more precious, and it is not surprising that it is worth more than 100,000 yuan.
