Common sense of purchasing high quality calligraphy and painting(you zhi zi hua xuan gou chang shi )

The investment of calligraphy and painting needs a certain amount of money, but what is more important is unique vision. Especially the collection of ancient calligraphy and painting, but also to be familiar with this knowledge and market. Ancient calligraphy and paintings are classified according to their types and have different values.

(1) From the value of painting and calligraphy, painting is higher than calligraphy. The reason is very simple. Painting is more difficult than calligraphy.

(2) In terms of texture, it is relatively complete and undamaged, clean as new, and transparent. It is first-class if it is not pasted or supported by light. It is second-class if it is seen on the surface and undamaged, but the charm of the work is still there. The work is pieced together with pieces of paper, and the color of the back is also supplemented. Even if it is a famous work, it is only inferior.

(3) In terms of content, calligraphy is more important than calligraphy. For example, the value of Wang Xizhi's cursive script is only one line of running script, three lines of running script is one line of regular script, and the rest is based on articles, regardless of the number of words. Landscape is the top quality of painting, followed by figures, flowers, birds, bamboo and stone, and animals, insects and fish.

(4) In terms of style, the value of the standing banner is higher than that of the banner, the value of the paper version is better than that of the silk version, and the value of the silk version is the least. The height of the scroll should be four feet and the width should be two feet. If it is too large or too small, the value is not very high. The banner should be within five feet and the horizontal drape should be beyond five feet. The scroll should be one foot long, and the longer the scroll is, the higher the value is. The album and the screen should be even, and the odd number is out of group. The album should be eight, and the more the better; Four sides are the minimum number of screen strips, and sixteen sides are the final number. If there are too many, it is difficult to hang them.

In addition, ancient calligraphy and paintings with famous inscriptions and postscripts, or with seals and proofs recorded or collected, are of high value. The more inscriptions, the better. Famous people's inscriptions and postscripts are called helpers.
