It was only more than half an hour before the start of the Spring Festival Gala. All the audience and special guests had entered the CCTV No. 1 studio, decorated with lights and colors, and took their seats in their respective seats.

Ye Tian and his family have also entered the studio and sat down at a round table in the second row of the audience. The position of the round table is very good, close to the stage, and has a great view.

On this round table, there is a red silk tablecloth covered with golden silk thread embroidered with auspicious patterns. There is a pot of beautiful blooming orchids in the center of the round table, and there are two bottles of mineral water in front of each person.

There are many round tables in front, left and right sides, and behind this round table. Each round table is full of people, and everyone is smiling and excited.

Sitting next to 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 we entered the studio, we were shocked by the huge studio decorated with lights, flowers and a cheerful festive atmosphere everywhere, and were completely infected by the atmosphere here.

Especially Matthew, Evelyn, and the three little guys Linlin and Dongzi.

Their eyes were almost out of reach. They kept turning their heads and looking at everything in the studio. Everyone's eyes were so excited that they were illuminating, and they were amazed.

Until they walked to the round table and sat down, they were still shocked, their eyes still lit up with excitement.

"Steven, the studio is so beautifully decorated, the atmosphere is extremely warm, and the stage ahead is even more so. It is definitely the most gorgeous stage I have ever seen."

Looking at everything in this studio, Matthew couldn't help but sigh.

Before he finished speaking, Evelyn next to him continued:

"It's still the Spring Festival that you Chinese are lively. Everyone is happy. The whole country is immersed in a strong festive atmosphere. I like this kind of festival, I like the Chinese Spring Festival."

Ye Tian chuckled softly, then whispered:

"The Spring Festival is the most solemn festival of the Chinese nation. It embodies the Chinese nation's thoughts, beliefs, ideals, life and entertainment, and cultural psychology, and is also a carnival display of blessings, food and entertainment activities.

Its origin contains profound cultural connotations and carries a rich historical and cultural heritage in inheritance and development. During the Spring Festival, activities to celebrate the New Year will be held in various parts of China. Each has its own characteristics, but they are all lively and festive.

At this moment, not only the studio we are in, but also in every place and every family in China, people are immersed in a festive atmosphere full of warmth and joy, bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year!…”

Just as Ye Tian was chatting with Matthew and others, many viewers and special guests in the studio had already discovered Ye Tian and his group.

In addition to those CCTV staff and many big names in the entertainment industry who had been in the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala before, many people were very surprised by Ye Tian and his friends' sudden appearance in the No. 1 studio.

"Isn't that Ye Tian? Why did he appear here? And he was sitting in the second row of the audience, I haven't heard of him being invited to the Spring Festival Gala before!"

"What's so strange about this? If you can donate five thousand volumes of the priceless Dunhuang scriptures to the National Library, you can also be specially invited to sit in the special guest seat in the front row."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and many people were looking at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian had expected this kind of scene and was used to it. He did not feel surprised at all. He continued chatting with his family, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to officially kick off.

After chatting for a while, a strange voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Putting the apology to bother, Mr. Ye Tian, ​​can you delay your time for a few minutes?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking and turned to look at the round table on his left hand.

The strange voice came from this round table. The speaker was a man sitting by the table. He was about fifty years old, gentle and elegant.

Next to the man was a woman in her fifties and a beautiful girl in her twenties.

In front of the top of the head, there was an old man in military uniform with military medals on his chest, and an old lady with white hair but energetic spirit.

Obviously, these people are also special guests of the Spring Festival Gala. Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren came to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, which is similar to Ye Tian and others.

Ye Tian looked at the other party, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Hello, I am Ye Tian. Is there anything you have to do? You seem to be much older than me, so just call me Xiao Ye. Don't use the word 'you' to call me, I can't afford it."

"Okay, it's better to obey your orders than respect. Then call your name. Ye Tian, ​​I am a teacher at Tsinghua University, named Tang Bowen. These are my family. Let's participate in the Spring Festival Gala together today."

With Tang Bowen's introduction, Ye Tian nodded slightly to the family of Tsinghua teacher, saying hello.

Teacher Tang's family also nodded and greeted him, and everyone was curious and looked at him.

After a brief introduction to himself, Teacher Tang continued:

"Ye Tian, ​​as we all know, you are the top antique art appraisal expert in the world today. You have a sharp vision and have never missed anything. I would like to ask you to help identify a painting and calligraphy art.

In order to cooperate with a program of the Spring Festival Gala, "I Have Heirlooms", we brought an ancient painting here and prepared to display it on this program, which is our heirlooms, which have been in our family for decades.

But we are not sure about the authenticity of the ancient painting. We have also looked at the appraisal experts before. Some people say it is real, and some people say it is a fake. Not only does it not get a clear result, it makes us even more confused!

I didn’t expect to meet you here today. Now there is still some time before the Spring Festival Gala begins, so I took the liberty to disturb you. I would like to ask you to help me and give you an appraisal so that we can have a clear idea!”

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately chuckled softly, and grandparents were the same.

"Teacher Tang, like you, we were asked by the director team of the Spring Festival Gala to bring a heirloom to the Spring Festival Gala. If you are invited to participate in the "I Have Heirloom" program, you will show your heirloom in public.

This is the Chinese New Year, since you have asked me to help identify your family heirloom, how can I refuse? As long as you trust me, I will help you take a look and appreciate the 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 is almost a heartache for our family!"

Teacher Tang nodded excitedly and said, looking forward to it.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up a brocade box about fifty centimeters long from his feet and placed it carefully on the table in front of him.

Ye Tianze stood up from his feet, came to the table, and looked at the brocade box on the table.

The same is true for grandfather, who is a enthusiast of calligraphy and painting. There are also other audiences and guests nearby who heard Ye Tian and Teacher Tang’s conversation. They all looked at the brocade box, and everyone was curious.

As for Teacher Tang’s family, let alone, everyone’s eyes are full of expectations.

Especially Mr. Tang, who was sitting in the head, stood up and stared at the simple and elegant brocade box with concern, his breathing became a little rapid.

After putting the brocade box, Teacher Tang took out two pairs of white gloves from his handbag, put on one of them himself, and handed the other one directly to Ye Tian.

Immediately afterwards, he carefully opened the brocade box, then uncovered a layer of white silk, and picked up a yellowed scroll from the brocade box.

"Ye Tian, ​​this is our family heirloom. A painting by Zhu Da, a famous painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, is difficult to tell the authenticity, but it has been collected in our family for more than 80 years and we cherish it very much.

The first person to accept this painting of Bada Shanren was my grandfather. In the mid-1930s, he worked in Shanghai. By chance, he received this ancient painting and has been kept in our house.

After liberation, our family moved to Beijing. In the early 1950s, we had a look at an appraisal expert from Liulichang. He said it was the original work of Bada Shanren. Someone wanted to buy it at that time, but we didn't sell it.

In the 1980s, because I had to study abroad, it cost a lot, but my family was in a very difficult situation. In desperation, we had the idea of ​​selling this painting and asked someone to appraise it again.

The appraisal expert I was looking for this time gave a completely opposite conclusion from before. The appraisal expert said that this was a fake, a painting forged in the early years of the Republic of China, and was from a master of fake calligraphy and painting in Tianjin.

We didn't believe in this evil, so we found several appraisal experts to conduct the appraisal. Some people saw the truth and some people saw the false. In this way, we were completely confused and the painting was not for sale."

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 the rules of domestic antiques stores and knows that the goods are not good enough!

"The paintings of Bada Shanren are very rare, so you must appreciate them."

Ye Tian said with a smile, with a look of surprise on his face.

At the same time, many viewers and special guests around heard that this might be Bada Shanren's painting, and they all stood up and looked at this side with their eyes lit up.

With the rise of collection craze and the endless variety of treasure hunting programs on TV, people now know a little bit about the collection of antique artworks, and there are even some people who claim to be experts.

Bada Shanren's calligraphy and painting works have been enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors over the years, and the auction prices have repeatedly hit new highs. They can definitely be regarded as one of the most popular Chinese ancient painters.
