Chapter 917

When it comes to Emperor Qianlong, there is another thing that must be said that Emperor Qianlong should be the first "like crazy man" in history.

Why is he said he was a madman? Because in addition to collecting cultural relics, Emperor Qianlong also had another problem, which was that he liked to write inscriptions, poems, inscriptions, inscriptions, inscriptions, inscriptions, inscriptions, inscriptions, inscriptions, and inscriptions on cultural relics he taught.

Many cultural relics experts and antique collection enthusiasts believe that Emperor Qianlong treated cultural relics in this way, which was extremely disrespectful to cultural relics, and even destroyed cultural relics.

Especially in some famous calligraphy and painting works of all dynasties, whenever Qianlong's hand, he would always write a chapter, leave a poem, stamp it, etc., such as the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow Qing Shi Tie", Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Post", Zhao Mengfu's "Quehua Autumn Scenery Picture", etc., which can be said to be tirelessly ruining paintings.

In addition to calligraphy and painting, Emperor Qianlong also wrote poems and left words on some favorite porcelain, jade, bronze, bamboo, wood, etc.

For example, in the center of a yellow jade plate with sauce in the Forbidden City Hall of the Heart, he engraved a very long limerick poem: The son never leaves the jade for nothing, and the Ju Yu wore the left and the right. How could he play with something and pay special attention to the strange silver, and all the five virtues are worthy of being friends...

In addition to leaving ink on these cultural relics, Emperor Qianlong also liked immovable places of interest, architectural plaques, and stone carvings.

In general, whenever he sees what he likes, Emperor Qianlong will try every means to leave something on it, so he can be called the first "like crazy maniac" in history.

It means almost the same as those that are always liked in WeChat circles of Moments.

And because of these, many precious collections in the antique industry today have Qianlong's imperial pens on them.

As mentioned earlier, some cultural relics experts and antique collection enthusiasts have opposed this phenomenon, believing that it is a blasphemy and destruction of cultural relics.

However, in the cultural relics market, if there is a Qianlong imperial inscription on a cultural relic, the value will immediately double. Two identical items, one with Qianlong inscription, will definitely be much higher than the other one without.

There was even such a thing, such as a fake "Toyama Spring House Picture". Originally, fake paintings were of no value, but in this painting, Qianlong wrote poems on many places, almost occupying all the useful places, leaving no blank space, and even the stones on the painting were full of poems.

As a result, because of the poems written by Qianlong, this fake painting that was originally worthless suddenly became a national treasure and a national first-class protected cultural relic, and was collected in the Palace Museum.

Why is this happening? In fact, to sum up, to put it in a slightly modern word, it is Qianlong's super star advertising effect.

Qianlong was a big collector and his ability to appreciate cultural relics was also very good. With the entire Qing Palace collection as the foundation, and the contributions from various countries and regions, as well as the relatives of civil and military officials and royal relatives, Qianlong's collection was unrivaled.

In modern times, this is a super cultural relics collection and investment star, and is a star-studded figure in the entire cultural relics world.

Then the second thing is that Qianlong himself is also a super star.

He is the emperor, and among the 559 emperors in Chinese history, he is very special. Not to mention anything else, at least, he is definitely the longest-lived emperor in history, at the age of 89, exercising the highest power of the country for 63 years and four months.

Secondly, he has a high promotion of the development of folk art. For example, Peking Opera, one of the national treasures, was promoted and formed during Qianlong's reign.

Then, Qianlong was also one of the most famous poets in history. Although he was not as good as Li Bai and Du Fu, he wrote more than 40,000 poems in his life. This amazing output of poetry was enough to leave a lot of marks in the history of poetry.

You should know that the "Complete Tang Poems" has only more than 48,000 poems, but there are more than 2,000 authors. The poems published by Qianlong alone are worth a complete Tang Poems.

Let’s not only ignore the quality of Qianlong’s poems, the output alone is enough to be astonishing.

So combining this all together made Qianlong have a very unique position in Chinese history, and then because of his status, he created his superstar advertising effect.

Therefore, if a bowl of Xinglin Spring Swallow Picture with a poem written by Qianlong’s imperial pen is genuine, it is really valuable and worth Wen Zhiming’s trip.

While I was chatting, the errand gang that Zhang Kun was waiting for finally arrived. He was a young man in his twenties, about the same age as Qi Xiangyang, riding an electric bicycle.

After contacting Zhang Kun by phone, the little electric donkey stopped in front of Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun didn't say much, and handed the sealed and packed package to the man, then explained the delivery address and contact number, finally agreed on the price, paid, and watched the young man riding the small electric donkey slowly heading towards the distance.

Just as the little electric donkey was about to disappear into Zhang Kun's eyes, Zhang Kun hurriedly launched the leased electric car and followed from afar.

It was impossible to hand over tens of millions of things to a stranger. It was absolutely impossible to say that Zhang Kun was not nervous, and he could not come forward in person, so after thinking about it, Zhang Kun decided to use this method.

He entrusted the errands to help deliver goods, and then followed him all the way. Anyway, he didn't appear in front of Wen Zhiming from beginning to end, so there was no risk of exposure.

Moreover, Zhang Kun followed the whole process and didn't have to worry about any losses to the entrusted things.

As for what I lost, just kidding, Yanjing, as the capital of China, has a serious traffic jam, and it is no match for the whole country. Even if it is just a small electric donkey, it is so small that it takes a chance, but if you want to run at a speed, you can't even think about it.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible to escape Zhang Kun's sight.

Just like that, the young man in front was riding a small electric donkey, and Zhang Kun was hanging from behind with an electric car, slowly moving towards the Yanjing Museum.

After half an hour of "long journey", a huge square building appeared in front of me from afar, and that was the Yanjing Museum.

When he was more than 200 meters away from the gate, Zhang Kun stopped the electric car and then watched the small electric donkey in front of him drive to the museum gate bit by bit.

At this time, at the gate, there were five figures standing there quietly, and Wen Zhiming was standing first. There were four people standing there, all quietly waiting.

As Wen Zhiming said before, he swept the bed and waited.
