"If it has been around for a long time, it will naturally be hung on the wall and admired every day. If it has been around for a long time and the quality is different, it must be stored in a suitable environment for long-term storage."
"Which calligrapher's calligraphy do you like best?"
"Zhao Mengfu."
"You are good at thin gold calligraphy. I thought you liked Song Huizong's calligraphy the best."
"I also like Song Huizong's calligraphy."
"There was a great painter in the Song Dynasty who was particularly good at painting dragons. One of his paintings was collected by Japanese people and sold for a sky-high price at auction. Do you know this painter?"
"Chen Rong, a top master of dragon painting, I will definitely collect a painting by Chen Rong from now on."
"The system doesn't provide it, so you have to pay for it yourself?"
"Yes."
"Do many of this artist's paintings survive?"
"Very few. It seems that there are twenty-two paintings in existence, and half of them have been lost overseas. Two years ago, a painting of "Six Dragons" by Chen Rong was sold at a sky-high price at an auction in New York, USA."
"What's the transaction price?"
"About RMB 300 million."
"Six dragons, 50 million each." Wang Xiaoya said with a smile, "How much do you think this painting could sell for when it was first painted?"
"It's not cheap either. When Chen Rong was alive, he was a famous figure in the world."
"When Bada Shanren was alive, his paintings were not valuable, were they?"
"have no idea."
“Do you like Bada Shanren’s paintings?”
"I like it, I really like it. I also want to collect Bada Shanren's paintings."
"How many famous calligraphy and painting works do you want to collect?"
"A few dozen, and in the future, there may be more than a hundred."
"Greedy!" Wang Xiaoya joked.
"No way?"
