How do you evaluate Lu Qinzhai? Who did Lu Qinzhai live with in his later years

Because of the broadcast of the sixth episode of "National Treasure", many people got to know the "King of Fang Li", and it also made people remember a name, Lu Qinzhai!

Some people say that he is a sinner of history, he is a dealer of cultural relics, but some people say that he is a disseminator of Chinese art, and it is he who allows Westerners to see ancient Chinese art!

According to people in the Chinese antiques circle, about half of the Chinese antiques lost overseas were sold by Lu Qinzhai, among which the "Sa Lu Zi" and "Fist Mao Da" among the six horses of Zhaoling were the most famous, which were smuggled to the United States from about 1916 to 1917 and sold by Lu Qinzhai to the University of Pennsylvania Museum for 10,000 US dollars.

However, Lu Qinzhai was not a simple dealer of cultural relics, he invited well-known scholars to study cultural relics, such as publishing an ancient jade catalogue with Bo Xihe, and inviting Chu Deyi and Bo Xihe to compile a bronze catalogue. These research results increase the value and popularity of the item. He often held exhibitions and catalogues to expand the influence of Chinese art, and he became a businessman and consultant for many large collectors and museums.

In a sense, Lu Qinzhai was the enlightener who introduced the West to Chinese antiques. He gradually conquered European and American collectors with his superb cultural relics expertise and genius business vision. , so what do you think of Lu Qinzhai as a person?

The ups and downs of this person's life, the merits and demerits, cannot be judged in a black and white way! In what he did, greed brought loyalty, sin brought salvation, scenery carried forbearance, and contribution carried iniquity.

The reason why it is said that some people are nailed to the pillar of historical shame is that the damage he caused is irreversible, and the contribution he made is not irreplaceable. What contributions did Lu make to the motherland, whether true or false, regardless of motives, and only in terms of practical results, is he the only one? Does anyone else look up to it?

But he has caused the motherland to basically lose so many important cultural properties forever, which is irreversible, and no one can compare with it!

Lu Qinzhai's life is full of controversy, and it is difficult to conclude the coffin in a few words, so people are more inclined to give him two words - legend.

Finally, the Southern Song Dynasty historian Zheng Qiao has a poem called "Sending Qin Zhai", which coincides with Lu Qinzhai's name, which is probably the best summary of his life: if the breeze is gone for thousands of years, who can accompany the red pine to swim. The begging remains are until the day of return, and the old man must be at the end of his old age.

Where is Yuanliang Yuantian, when will Xiang Ping marry and rest. Huzhou don't drive deep and thoughtful, but hang the crown and be free.

However, Lu Qinzhai and Mary Rose are officially husband and wife, but their mother Olga has always interfered in their family life. Olga has always considered herself the guardian of her daughter, controlling the family.

Mother even held the password to the safe in Lu Qinzhai's antiquities store, and Mary Rose didn't even have the right to sign. The family has always been in the state of a mother and daughter serving a husband: on the surface, Lu Qinzhai and Mary Rose are husband and wife, but in essence, Olga is exercising the rights of a wife.
