princess is glamorous in the modern day

However, this painter called Yuan Wanxia could use the tip of the brush as the tendons and the strokes as the bones, forcefully creating a boneless painting with unique vigor and bones.

Everyone searched for a long time but could not find this master called Yuan Wanxia in the painting industry.

From the painter’s strokes, everyone determined that he should be a master of Chinese arts who had been in seclusion for a long time.

In an instant, this Master Yuan Wanxia, who was called “the legacy of the sea”, gradually became famous in the world of painting and calligraphy.

Chapter 162: Sending Long Critics
In fact, over the years, there had been a bad habit in the domestic painting industry.

The idea that rare things were valuable had been popular since ancient times. Hence, some speculators in the painting world used people’s curiosity about mysterious things to package themselves as a unique master. They actually obtained a lot of support.

Hence, when the name Yuan Wanxia became more and more famous in the world of calligraphy and painting, it attracted the disgust of many people. After all, only some people from the Painter Association had really seen paintings up close. Other people had only heard of it.

Many people believed that this so-called master was probably packaged.

The most famous auction house in the country was Li Xin Auction House. In the most recent auction, a painting of a cold plum blossom from Yuan Wanxia was bought by a mysterious buyer for a million dollars.

Actually, a million dollars was really not necessary for discussion in a painting and calligraphy market that could easily reach hundreds of millions.

To be honest, in the world of painting and calligraphy, a painting worth a million dollars was not even qualified to be considered as a beginner price.

However, at that time, Yuan Wanxia’s painting was auctioned at the same time as one from a slightly famous painter, Qian Yan.

Qian Yan’s painting was average, but he was experienced and had a small reputation in the world of painting and calligraphy.

Coincidentally, Qian Yan had sent a plum blossom painting to the auction house back then, and the final transaction price of his work was 600,000.

If it were anyone else, it would be fine. The key was that Yuan Wanxia was an unorthodox person who had appeared out of nowhere. She did not even have a reputation in the domestic painting and calligraphy world.

Qian Yan was a rather petty person to begin with. After the auction ended, his colleagues in the painting world would sometimes mention his and Yuan Wanxia’s plum blossom painting. This made him feel that his name had been humiliated by Yuan Wanxia.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, when Professor Zhang sent the ink plaque to the Painter Association, he announced that he had obtained the painting from the street market.

How could Qian Yan allow an unknown painter to ride on his head? Furthermore, after confirming that Professor Zhang had nothing to do with this so-called Yuan Wanxia, Qian Yan posted a long article.

The article did not directly attack Yuan Wanxia. Instead, he stood at a very high angle and started from the chaos in the painting and calligraphy market. He criticized the false elevation of the painting and calligraphy market and momentarily attracted the support of some people.

Qian Yan was somewhat famous in the world of painting and calligraphy, but on the Internet, he was actually similar to ordinary people. Normally, there was not much attention when he posted on Weibo. After his long text was posted, the number of views did not exceed five thousand.
