It is only more than half an hour before the Spring Festival Gala starts. All the audience and special guests have entered the decorated CCTV Studio No. 1 Hall and taken their seats.
Ye Tian and his family have also entered the studio hall and sat down at a round table in the second row of the auditorium. The round table is in a very good location, close to the stage and has an excellent view.
On this round table, it is covered with a red silk tablecloth with auspicious patterns embroidered with golden threads. In the center of the round table is a pot of delicate orchids in full bloom, and there are two bottles of mineral water in front of each person.
There are many round tables in front, on the left and right sides, and behind this round table. Each round table is full of people, and everyone is smiling and excited.
Sitting around these round tables are different families from all over the country, popular stars in the entertainment industry, and other special guests, such as national model workers, soldiers with medals on their chests, outstanding entrepreneurs, etc.
As soon as they entered the studio, everyone was shocked by the huge studio decorated with lights, colorful flowers, and filled with a cheerful festive atmosphere. They were also completely infected by the atmosphere here.
Especially the three little guys Matthew and Evelin, and Linlin and Dongzi.
Their eyes were almost exhausted, and they kept turning their heads to look at everything in the studio. Everyone's eyes shone with excitement and they were amazed.
Until they walked to the round table and sat down, they were still in shock, and their eyes were still shining with excitement.
"Steven, this studio hall is so beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is extremely warm, especially the stage in front. It is definitely the most gorgeous stage I have ever seen"
Looking at everything in this studio hall, Matthew couldn't help but sigh.
Before he finished speaking, Evelin next to him continued:
"The Spring Festival is still lively for you Chinese people. Everyone is beaming and the whole country is immersed in a strong festive atmosphere. I like this kind of festival and I like the Chinese Spring Festival"
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then whispered:
“The Spring Festival is the most solemn festival of the Chinese nation. It embodies the ideological beliefs, ideal wishes, life entertainment and cultural psychology of the Chinese nation. It is also a carnival-style display of blessings, food and entertainment activities.
Its origin contains profound cultural connotations, and it carries rich historical and cultural heritage in its inheritance and development. During the Spring Festival, activities to celebrate the New Year will be held across China, each with its own characteristics, but all lively and festive.
At this moment, not only in this studio hall we are in, but also in every place and every family in China, people are immersed in a warm and joyful festival atmosphere, bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new year! ..."
While Ye Tian was chatting with Matthew and the others, many viewers and special guests in the studio had spotted Ye Tian and his group.
Except for the CCTV staff and the many big names in the entertainment industry who were backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, many people were very surprised when Ye Tian and the others suddenly appeared in Studio No. 1.
"Isn't that Ye Tian? Why is he here? And he is sitting in the second row of the auditorium as a special guest. I never heard that he was invited to the Spring Festival Gala!"
"What's so strange about this? If you can donate five thousand volumes of priceless Dunhuang scriptures to the National Library, you will also be specially invited to sit in the front row as a special guest"
There was a buzz of discussion at the scene, and many people looked at Ye Tian.
For this kind of scene, Ye Tian had already expected it and was used to it. He was not surprised at all. He continued to chat with his family and waited for the Spring Festival Gala to officially kick off.
After chatting for a while, a strange voice suddenly came from the side.
"Excuse me, Mr. Ye Tian, can I spare your time for a few minutes?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking and turned to look at the round table on the left.
The unfamiliar voice came from this round table. The speaker was a man sitting at the table. He was about fifty years old, gentle and looked quite elegant.
Beside this man, sat a woman in her fifties and a beautiful girl in her twenties.
At the top, facing the stage, sat an old man wearing a military uniform with military medals on his chest, and an old lady with gray hair but good spirits.
Obviously, these few are also special guests of the Spring Festival Gala, and three generations of their family have come to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Their situation is similar to that of Ye Tian and others.
Ye Tian looked at the other person, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Hello, I am Ye Tian, what can I do for you? You seem to be much older than me, so just call me by my name, or call me Xiaoye. Don't use the word 'you' again. I can’t afford it if you come to call me”
"Okay, respect is worse than obedience. Let me call you by your name, Ye Tian. I am a teacher at Tsinghua University. My name is Tang Bowen. These are my family members. We are here to attend the Spring Festival Gala today."
Following Tang Bowen's introduction, Ye Tianchong nodded slightly to the family members of the Tsinghua teacher, as a greeting.
Teacher Tang’s family members also nodded and said hello to him, and everyone looked at him curiously.
After a brief self-introduction, Teacher Tang continued:
"Ye Tian, as we all know, you are the world's top antique art appraisal expert. You have extremely sharp eyesight and have never misjudged anything. I would like to ask you to help appraise a piece of calligraphy and painting.
In order to coordinate with a program of the Spring Festival Gala, "I Have a Family Heirloom", we brought an ancient painting here to prepare to display it on this program. It is our family's heirloom and has been in our family for decades. .
But we are not sure about the authenticity of that ancient painting. We have checked it with experts before, and some said it was genuine, while others said it was a fake. Instead of getting a clear result, we were even more confused. !
I didn’t expect to meet you here today. There is still some time before the Spring Festival Gala starts, so I took the liberty to interrupt and ask you to help me identify it, so that we can have a better understanding! ”
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately laughed softly, and so did his grandparents.
"Teacher Tang, we, like you, were asked by the Spring Festival Gala director team to bring a family heirloom to the Spring Festival Gala. If we are invited to participate in the "I Have an Heirloom" program, we will display our family heirloom in public.
This is the New Year, since you asked me to help identify your family heirlooms, how can I refuse? As long as you trust me, then I will help you take a look and appreciate that ancient painting! ”
"That's great, Ye Tian, thank you for your help. The questions that have troubled our family for a long time can finally be solved today. This has almost become a worry for our family!"
Teacher Tang nodded excitedly and said, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up a brocade box about fifty centimeters long from his feet and carefully placed it on the table in front of him.
Ye Tianze stood up, came to the table, and looked at the brocade box on the table.
The same goes for my grandfather who is a lover of calligraphy and painting, as well as other nearby audiences and guests who heard the conversation between Ye Tian and Teacher Tang. They all looked at the brocade box, and everyone was full of curiosity.
As for Teacher Tang’s family, not to mention, everyone’s eyes are full of expectations.
In particular, Mr. Tang, who was sitting at the top, stood up and stared at the elegant brocade box with concern, his breathing becoming a little short.
After putting the brocade box away, Teacher Tang took out two pairs of white gloves from his handbag, put one on himself and handed the other pair directly to Ye Tian.
Immediately afterwards, he carefully opened the brocade box, then uncovered another layer of white silk, and took out a yellowed scroll from the brocade box.
"Ye Tian, this is our family's heirloom, a painting by Zhu Da, a famous painter from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Bada Shanren. Although it is difficult to tell whether it is authentic or not, it has been collected in our family for more than 80 years. We are very Cherish.
The first person to accept this Bada Shanren painting was my grandfather. He was working in Shanghai in the mid-1930s. By chance, he received this ancient painting and it has been kept in our home ever since.
After liberation, our family moved to Beijing. In the early 1950s, an appraisal expert from Liulichang saw it and said it was an authentic work of Bada Shanren. At that time, someone wanted to buy it, but we did not sell it.
In the 1980s, because I wanted to study abroad, which cost a lot of money, but my family was in a difficult situation, we had no choice but to think of selling the painting and find someone to appraise it again.
The appraisal expert we called this time gave a completely opposite conclusion than before. The appraisal expert said that this was a fake, a forged painting in the early years of the Republic of China, and was produced by a master of calligraphy and painting forgery in Tianjin.
We didn't believe in this evil, so we asked several appraisal experts to conduct appraisals. Some people thought it was genuine, while others thought it was fake. In this way, we were completely confused, and the painting was not sold."
Teacher Tang introduced the basic situation of this painting and gently placed the scroll on the round table instead of handing it to Ye Tian.
Obviously, this teacher Tang also knows some of the rules of domestic antique shops and knows that the goods are not sold!
"Bada Shanren's paintings are very rare, so be sure to appreciate them"
Ye Tian said with a smile, with an expression of surprise on his face.
At the same time, many spectators and special guests around heard that this might be the painting of Bada Shanren. They all stood up and looked here with bright eyes.
With the rise of collecting craze and the endless variety of treasure hunting programs on TV, people now know a little bit about collecting antique art, and there are even some who call themselves experts.
Bada Shanren’s calligraphy and painting works have been enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors in recent years, with auction prices reaching new highs. He is definitely one of the most marketable ancient Chinese painters.
Can you not be excited to hear that there is a painting of Bada Shanren here?
