Chapter 148: Yan Fu's Manuscript
Luo Bufan wanted to take Brother Hu and the others to take a walk in Sanfang and Qixiang first. In the eyes of locals, that place may be the same, but if you haven't been there, you are still a little looking forward to it.
Especially when he knew that Brother Hu had a special hobby for these traditional buildings, he had to go for a walk.
After all, it is a large-scale and relatively complete historical and cultural block in China, and is one of the few ancient buildings in the country.
Some celebrities’ former residences have already started charging fees. As long as you don’t go inside the house and walk around the streets and alleys, you still don’t have to charge money.
In this block, alleys are crisscrossed, stone slabs paved with stone floors; white walls and tile houses, curved gables, rigorous layouts and ingenious craftsmanship; many are also decorated with pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, flowers and plants, rockery, integrating humanities and natural landscapes.
It is said that the place where people and generals and ministers are located is a place where many famous politicians, military strategists, writers and poets have moved towards glory from here. Some of the names of the buildings and alleys can show the charm and glory of the past.
In addition, there are hundreds of shops of all sizes, and there are many local specialty products and snacks that make you dazzled.
"Now, the commercial flavor is starting to be a little bit stronger." Luo Bufan said to Hu Yang.
Moreover, it once attracted a lot of criticism on the Internet.
But poplar is not very disgusted. After all, these are buildings left over from history. Daily repairs and maintenance are all required.
Reasonable charges are sometimes a kind of protection!
Of course, those overlords who only know how to make money and surround the place are indeed unpopular.
In addition, he has heard a little about the situation here. There are many food restaurants here, and many of the people who come here to play here are also for the food.
However, the high prices and the decline in the quality of food make tourists very dissatisfied.
This is no wonder that tourists complain about it, it is indeed a bit unauthentic.
"Now, where can I find a very pure tourist destination? It is normal to have a commercial flavor." Huyang smiled.
He visited for a while and said, "The doors and windows here are very interesting, exquisite, gorgeous, and can be said to be very thoughtful. There are openwork, relief, and the subjects include birds and beasts, characters and flowers, etc.."
The place is quite big, and Hu Yang and others just took a walk around, but none of them were in the former residences of famous people.
After walking for a while, Xiaoli suggested going to a shop to drink something and she treats her.
During this period, Brother Hu and Andy Lau were taking care of her. She had never spent money and was very embarrassed. She didn't dare to speak up for some people who had to pay a lot of money, but she thought she should take the initiative to eat and drink.
Hu Yang knew Xiaoli’s thoughts and smiled and said, “Okay, then go in and have something to drink, and the beauty treats you.”
Some small things, Huyang will not compete with them, and it is also a kind of respect for others.
"Then you're welcome." Luo Bufan and others spoke.
They walked into a traditional restaurant and ordered some food and drinks.
If you observe the store, you will find that there are bookshelf on both sides of the store. Customers can read it at will, have collections of essays, etc., which feels very leisurely.
Hu Yang and the others sat next to a bookshelf. As long as they turned around, they could get the books on the bookshelf.
Before I could eat, Zhu Fu picked up a book and opened it to take a few glances.
This is a thread-bound book, which seems to be a book that is deliberately imitating antiques. There are more than one book on the bookshelf here.
Luo Bufan retorted: "What are you pretending to be educated? I guess I haven't even recognized the words on it yet."
He was reminding the child that Brother Hu and others were sitting here, you read books by yourself, make yarn! Find topics to chat! What book is it? How rude to leave Brother Hu aside?
Zhubiao was a smart man. He quickly realized that he was about to close it, but he saw a piece of folded paper in the page he opened, which seemed to be written in a letter paper.
He took it out: "What did you come from?"
Poplar looked over and said, "Let me take a look."
Zhu Fu quickly handed it to Hu Yang, looked through the book again, and found a piece of paper that was almost the same, and it seemed that this one was the last one.
Huyang looked at it for a while and found a letter to write about home, which only talked about some common things and some greetings.
"Brother Hu, there is one more here." The blessing was handed over.
When Hu Yang saw that there was a name left behind, he was slightly surprised that it was his letter.
"Brother, you are lucky! This is a letter from Yan Fu. Although it is of no value, it is considered a rare thing. You can collect it yourself or donate it to relevant institutions." Hu Yang said.
When he was just traveling, he remembered that Yan Fu's former residence was here? So, a letter from him seemed to make sense. As for why it fell here, it is unknown.
This kind of family letter has little information, just a few chats, so it is not of much value.
Of course, the value mentioned here is measured by money. If you say that it is worthless, it is definitely not. Things that celebrities have used, even a piece of paper or a pen, are cultural relics.
Someone once said that what celebrities used is cultural relics, and what they used is waste.
Hu Yang felt that relevant institutions should be interested in this kind of thing, such as Yan Fu's former residence here. Once they know this letter, they should find a way to repurchase it.
As for how much money can be given, it is hard to say. Or, there will be a few hundred yuan bonus or something, a banner? It shouldn’t be there?
"Show me that book." Hu Yang pointed to the book in Zhu Fu's hand and said.
The audience in the live broadcast room was speechless. They could pick up treasures. Is something wrong? It’s really a bit weird when Brother Hu went anywhere, he could find treasures.
My blessings were also stupid and I sent the book over.
When Huyang opened it, he found that it was not a book at all, but a handwritten translation manuscript. The author was also Yan Fu.
As far as he knew, Yan Fu was a translator, and the translation standard of "faith, understanding, and elegance" proposed by him had a profound impact on the translation work of later generations. He was a very influential bourgeois enlightenment thinker, translator and educator in the late Qing Dynasty.
This is a very great figure in modern times and has had a huge impact on modern China.
It is also true that in Sanfang Qi Lane, his former residence is not the largest, the most beautiful, nor the most exquisite, but it is the highest value.
After all, this person is known as "the number one person in Western learning in China". Too many of the modern and modern celebrities in my country have been influenced by him.
"This manuscript is a translation manuscript, which is quite valuable. You can find a way to get it from this store. After a while, we can go to the scenic area office. I believe they are very interested in these two things."
ah?
Zhu Fu was stunned. He was going to get a bargain in his feelings? This was too fast, the way was too weird, right? Even he couldn't believe it.
"Haha! The little brother's eyes are about to pop out."
"I was frightened by ten thousand tons, but this luck is no one. It is Yan Fu's manuscript, and I don't know how much it can be worth."
"Don't go to the scenic spot office! Those people might forcefully ask for manuscripts and letters? They can do whatever they want."
"It shouldn't be enough, at least there is a bonus of 500 yuan and a banner, so this cannot be saved."
"I also think that just let the air go out and let them come to the door by themselves."
...
As the best friend Luo Bufan also looked unbelievable and complained in his heart: This is OK? What shit did that guy step on!
"Brother Hu, is this thing valuable?" As a Fuzhou native, Yan Fu often hears the story of them in Fujian. What he left behind should be quite valuable, right?
"It's hard to say, let me briefly talk about it! There are manuscripts, letters and other collections, and they even stirred up the market and sold hundreds of millions of dollars.
The core of the value of letters and manuscripts lies in the value of historical documents it carries. The value of historical documents is closely related to the direct author of letters and manuscripts and the writing content. In addition, the artistic nature of the writing is also an important auxiliary factor.
…”
He told everyone that compared to artistic nature, the content of letters and manuscripts is more critical. Although letters and manuscripts are similar in material form to calligraphy works, the value measurement standards should be used to refer to rare ancient books.
"So, the collection value of this family letter is not high, so there is no need to expect it."
After saying that, Huyang turned his attention to the translation manuscript.
"This translation manuscript is different. Things that Yan Fu deserves to spend time to translate are definitely valuable information. Therefore, it will be more valuable.
But it is also relatively limited. At present, the collection of manuscripts is not mainstream. There is no way! It can only be said that it has potential." Hu Yang said.
His personal estimate is that this translation manuscript is about 100,000 or 80,000 yuan.
As far as he knows, at present, the main "buyers" in the collection of manuscripts are still various art institutions. For example, the manuscript by Yan Fu is most interested in some institutions that study Yan Fu's life, such as the managers of Yan Fu's former residence.
Moreover, in the field of contemporary art, compared with oil paintings that cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, manuscripts that combine document value, collection value and artistic value are relatively low, and there are few fakes.
Luo Bufan kicked the boy who was still standing still, reminding him: "Why are you still standing still? Go and buy this book from the store! Are you stupid?"
"Oh, oh! Yes, yes!" Zhu Fu quickly stood up and planned to fool the shop owner.
It is worth 100,000 to 80,000, which is also a very good income for him. He has not been to college and has not saved so much money for so long after he has been out. His bank cards are often double-digit.
Hu Yang came to the bookshelf, looked through it for a while, and shook his head helplessly: "I wish my brother so good luck. The only valuable book was taken away by him."
The people in the live broadcast room were speechless after hearing this. Is the goddess of luck his biological mother?
Luo Bufan thanked Brother Hu and Xiaoli for sending him a message.
"Why do you thank me?" Xiaoli was puzzled. Thank Brother Hu, she could understand.
"It's not that you let everyone come in and eat, he has such luck? So, you should be his goddess of luck." Luo Bufan replied.
It’s just that everyone has come to their senses, and it really makes sense!
