In Feburary 2004, the author attends CCTV on invitation as appraisal expert 2 " treasure of ancient bronze mirror " program, have one party a book from heaven gules travel grass " birthday " the appraise of Yellow River Shi Ping of the word is 380 thousand yuan. This also is to be in first " treasure of ancient bronze mirror " in the program to graph grain stone (literal stone) the price of high-quality goods is evaluated. At that time my basis is, if if surprise,the thematic content of stone and style and relevant artwork are close to, so both between have effect of rate of exchange. Of this a book from heaven " birthday " word, the calligraphy compared with Mi Fei also is not Huang lets more, so can it and market price of rice Fei calligraphic case makes a contrast. In December 2002, of Mi Fei " inkstone hill inscription " in in auction of trade emperor beautiful clinched a deal 29.99 million yuan, " inkstone hill inscription " altogether does not cross 37 big character (attached drawing " Bao Jinzhai grinds hill pursues " for copy of later generations place) , average every word calculates come down 800 thousand yuan or so, consider the psychology of people bears at that time ability, so this a book from heaven " birthday " stone convert into money half. Everybody assesses the value to this at that time also is unable to decide which is right, at this late hour, return bring up again of somebody old job, point out strange stone high-quality goods and artwork price to be able to not compare a gender.
Common saying says, gold has valence stone not to have valence. It is artwork compared with someone else, the appraise value of strange stone cannot find a coordinate, because it does not contain labor value, although have if, almost negligible also not plan, and labor produces value, value decides the value. But, some strange stone, if be the place of artwork part likeness with the person, it is OK to perhaps say the word of mix the false with the genuine, so, there is the effect of rate of exchange that changeover of a value, price changes between them. Return a book from heaven of Yellow River stone " birthday " word, if at the outset Mi Fei sees this is made naturally, believe to may be exchanged extremely with oneself calligraphy work, and Mi Fei's work has market level, so, this square strange stone can another kind of means covers interest " change now " .
Actually, there often is a much-told story with Shi Yi content in ancient time, this is effect of another a kind of rate of exchange. At the outset rice Fei has stone bump to be changed with stone curtilage munificent act, Jian of Cai of the person that occupy the Song Dynasty " iron surrounds Shan Cong to talk " (roll the 5th) account, after Mi Fei once used the Tang Li austral before advocate had collected grind hill, change so that the younger brother of Su Zhonggong bachelor is in the ground of a treasure below temple of manna of hill of Zhenjiang north solid, build " Hai Yuean " . At that time, this Fang Song establishs the famous person that has 36 mountain peak to hide stone (stone is qualitative not bright) , the likelihood also is cannot cut a price truly, but, exchange becomes curtilage later, had certain market value. At that time, also should be a price that does not poor.
As to the market level of strange at that time stone, grind compared with this hill still has very big difference. Cite a case. Su Dongpo once was in south city of benefit of Guangdong be demotinged when transient Jiangxi mouth of 9 all corners of the country, see the home has painter Li Zhengchen one party strange stone, "Different Shi Jiufeng, exquisite as if turn, the lattice that be like a window like that. " (foreword of Su Dongpo poem) " feet of length and breadth of land beyond, and 9 peaks exquisite " (of Su Dongpo child revive foreword crossing a poem) , "Stone waist has white arteries and veins, if bundle with lacy " (square spoon " berth is made up curtilage " ) landscape of form of this Fang Shan Shi Rangshi's person is photographic, of the name for " in crock 9 China " , make have " the 9 China poems in crock " : "Clear brook report turns Shi Yunfeng, the You Jingcui in the dream is swept empty. Mo Chou of the Five Ridges outside 1000 a screen-like mountain peak, 9 China it is today in one crock. Day pool water falls layer upon layer see, empty of jade female window is connected everywhere. Read aloud Gu of my enemy Chi Tai absolutely, 100 gold put in the exquisite that buy green jade 's charge. " the stone price that mentions among them " 100 gold " , namely 102 silver. At that time, su Dongpo holds the post of too time keeping is the oldest income amount to is made an appointment with into silver 2000 2, this square strange stone is equivalent to Su Dongpo the pay of half month, should not calculate very expensive. But, because road of official of Su Dongpo change is medium,have inconvenience more, did not achieve what one wishes. After 8 years, the poet comes to here once more from inside Hainan north one's way home, the person is content blame, stone already be dead, if the disappointed with factitious poem breaks: "Jiang Bian blast the horse walks along 1000 peaks, ask just knows sky of north of look forward to. Stunner already followed Qing Meng to break, true body still is in draw. ... " .
By the way, this square strange stone " in crock 9 China " , according to the Southern Song Dynasty prevent coil up " Yun Linshi chart " be narrated, say when " river city stone " : "Between the Zhu Feng of stone, photograph of ab extra ingenious sticks compose, in order to add exquisite. " that is to say, local it is to have repair those who had treated, and in Li Jia very much. Perhaps because of such, just do not sell on high price. Nevertheless, as a result of Su Dongpo's bepraise, shi Yin's person is expensive, be collected to enter palace unexpectedly later.
At that time, su Dongpo takes a fancy to stone of this square lake mouth, it is the stone that thinks with oneself child of cousin Cheng heart is given " enemy pool stone " (one green one white two stone) match a partner, alleged " read aloud Gu of my enemy Chi Tai absolutely " . "Enemy pool stone " just be his mind is good, assist having a verse says: "Hai Shi comes bead palace, beautiful description if goose is green. Between slope Tuo dimension, wan Zhuailing hill is sufficient. Lian Juan 2 China top, empty 3 cogongrass abdomen. Doubt enemy pool is changed first, fear seaing city frown again. " he says among them this square green stone is " rare Dai Zhibao " . Wang Shen of Dou Wei of his friend emperor's son-in-law, painter is about to seize this square green stone, su Dongpo is artful with deal with, put forward the of Han of Tang Dynasty painter with king Shen collect carefully finally " herd horse pursues " exchange. Han is so-called " Gu Jin draws a horse the first person " , all through the ages that draw valence special tall, wang Shen is of course not be willing to part with or use, final Su Dongpo protects Demeishi to in good health.
In ancient time, settle or live in a strange place of bookman Chinese ink is specific will natural strange stone regards artwork as, marble of Yunnan of nothing is more... than. Place of marble graph grain shows the wonderful picture trace that come, very as similar as landscape painting of Song Yuan a person of academic or artistic distinction. Xu glow guest is in bright generation traveler the Chongzhen Emperor 12 years (1639) when inspecting marble place of production, ever gave extremely high opinion: "Demiurgic go out to surprise more more, painting from now on, all be common pen, and draw Yuan Ke to abandon. Clear generation " 3 government cabinet Wen Zong of border official of old, 9 provinces, generation " Ruan Yuan Zeming call marble truly " Shi Hua " , in " by Shi Hua " plaint in the poem: "But this a little bit Cang Shan, draw labour to must not be compared. ... only then sigh good luck is strange, be disgusted with however thin silk and paper. " since marble picture is OK,all without exception that with Song Yuan the picture rivals the name to had had even is reached, so, its price consults content had clear boy or girl friend. Bright Qing Dynasty two generation, feet ranginging from... to... the big, marble screen that draws meaning fine, all value does not poor, outclass is other the price that offer stone.
Master of archaize of bright generation Chou Ying " the river on Pure Brightness pursues " long roll (holding of Liaoning nature science) , one is depicted to hang above have " antique poem is drawn " the antique store that enrols Huang, there is table plaque of a marble on bar. This also is at that time (make an appointment with Jia Jing year) the clear proof that marble picture enters antique market. As to at that time the price of marble screen, later period of 10 thousand all previous thanks cause " 5 miscellaneous an ancient sacrificial utensil " in account: "The marble in another name for Yunnan Province, bai Hei is trenchant, big person 78 feet make screen price have the person that be worth more than 100 gold. " 100 gold (102 silver) at that time what concept be? At that time book of edition of the Song Dynasty " drive of peace and tranquility is seen " be worth 100 gold 100 times (bright · Li Rihua " diary of flavour Shui Xuan " ) . Look, at that time marble screen really the price does not poor, especially feet big person, the price surpasses Song Yuan a person of academic or artistic distinction to be drawn.
At this late hour, marble screen regards bright Qing Dynasty as one of classic furniture kind style, the market is being auctioned in artwork also is expression uncommon. In September 1996, new York beautiful person autumn pat can roll out " special performance of Chinese classic furniture " , fasten holding of nature science of classic furniture of former California China to taste, type of table plaque of marble of a 17 centuries screen (tall 215cm, wide 181cm) , clinch a deal valence amounts to 1.1 million dollar, add up to 9.13 million yuan of RMBs about at that time, the auction world record that created Chinese classic furniture (put in Tibet 's charge at museum of American Minnesota art) , and maintained a lot of years. In November 2013, chinese Jia Deqiu is patted can roll out " violet luck coagulates auspicious -- leave Cang Zhen of furniture of Yu Zhai rosewood " special performance, one " rosewood of clear Qianlong · embeds marble is big screen " (tall 93cm, wide 108cm) , it is red sandalwood embeds the be handed down from ancient times is the widest desk screen in marble screen, by its implement model, Gong Chen of craft feature Ying Weiqing sets implements. The result clinchs a deal valence amounts to 8.97 million yuan, the auction in becoming qualitative artwork of Chinese inland stone is highest clinch a deal record.
