Chapter 104 Master of Calligraphy and Painting, Tibetan Giant
The two chapters were combined into one and published. (I asked for everything).
Liang Sihan once said that there are only three and a half people he admires in the antique shop. Jinchuan is one of them, and the other two and a half people, Li Huqiu, also asked Liang Sihan. One of them is Meng Xianzong, the chief inspector of Fude Hall, known as Meng Wuye.
One of them was Liao Ziyun, the chief manager of Rongbaozhai, and the other half was Kuang Maoqi, who had tricked Liang Sihan. Liang Sihan told Li Huqiu at the time that Kuang Maoqi's knowledge of antiques was by no means inferior to the former three, and even worse.
It's more than that. It's just that this person has a low personality and has fallen behind, so he is called half a human. Li Huqiu had seen the photos of these people when he lived at Liang Sihan's house.
The man next to him was sixty years old and tall. The right half of his face was covered with scars from burns. The corners of his eyes were squeezed together by scars. His whole face looked hideous and ugly. Li Huqiu turned around and saw that this man looked the same as in the photo.
Meng Xianzong is exactly the same. Judging from his appearance and the place where he appears, who is it if he is not the famous Chief Inspector of Fude Hall?
Unexpectedly, he would meet this legendary figure in the industry here. Li Huqiu hurriedly clasped his fists and asked respectfully: "May I ask, who is Master Meng? I am Li Huqiu of Yanjing. I studied ancient porcelain and bronze with Mr. Liang Sihan for a few days.
Qi, I often heard Mr. Liang talk about you when I was in Yanjing."
The old man next to him who asked the question was Meng Xianzong. He had just seen Li Huqiu admiring the Maitreya Buddha carved by himself, and suddenly wanted to ask the young man if he was knowledgeable. Unexpectedly, his identity was revealed by Li Huqiu, so he
He looked surprised at first, then suddenly realized, "It turns out he is Teacher Liang's disciple. No wonder, no wonder, Teacher Liang's body is still strong?" Li Huqiu replied solemnly: "The old man is in good health. He is not."
Accept the junior as his apprentice." Meng Xianzong nodded and said: "Well, even if he doesn't accept you as his apprentice, he can teach you his best skills, which shows that he favors you. I have a fan here, come here
Give Zhang Zhang a good eye."
Li Huqiu hurriedly said, "Don't dare." Mr. Meng Wu is known as the master of painting appreciation in the antique shop. How many people dare to say the word "palm and eye" in front of such a person? "You are the number one connoisseur in the painting world. What's in your hand?"
The things must be correct, I don’t dare to tell you.” When Li Huqiu said this, a look of disappointment suddenly flashed across Meng Xianzong’s face, but he heard Li Huqiu continue to say, I am very eager to appreciate your treasures.
It was definitely not to distinguish authenticity, but just to increase his knowledge. Meng Xianzong nodded with satisfaction and handed the fan in his hand to Li Huqiu.
Jinchuan once said that the antique shop is not afraid of making mistakes but is most afraid of missing things. Superstitious authorities dare not even look at it, so stop eating in this business and change your profession as soon as possible. Li Huqiu took the folding fan, opened it and took a look, but
It is a painting of flowers and birds, imitating Zhao Ji's painting of birds in the Loquat Mountain. The whole painting has an ingenious composition, freehand ink and wash, free and easy style, and an elegant style. It is quite worthy of the samadhi of the late emperor and first-rate painter.
The name of the folding fan is "folding fan", also known as "jutou fan". The folding fan is folded when closed and spread out when used, so it is also called "spreading fan". Although the folding fan was produced relatively late, its importance is extremely important. It carries
It is convenient to get in and out of the sleeves, with fan paintings and carved fan bones. It is the pet of literati and elegant people, so it is also known as Huaixiu Yawu. Appreciating folding fans is the same as painting folding fans. The method of painting folding fans is different from ordinary paintings, and the appreciation of folding fans is also different.
In general paintings of appreciation.
The folding fan is wide on the top and narrow on the bottom, and is fan-shaped. The painter must consider arranging the picture in this specific space range when writing, carefully thinking about the composition, and displaying techniques. Only in this way can he be original and turn the pen at will.
Turn the limited into the infinite, creating a charming image and artistic conception. The clever composition makes the fan not feel like it is painted on a half-ring fan when unfolded, but feels like it is painted on a flat rectangular banner. The fan
Paintings can better reflect the artistic essence of each painter.
Although the fan is not large in size, due to its special shape and the very thick texture of the paper, it is made of multiple layers of thin paper and has creases. Some materials, such as colored paper, gold
It is difficult to master the ink and color of paper, hair paper, etc., and ordinary painters dare not render it at will. Zhu Yunming, a legalist in the Ming Dynasty, once compared painting on a fan to a beautiful woman dancing on the rubble. This is a classic metaphor.
In addition to the picture, the material of the fan bones, the gluing technique, and even the clues connected in series and the pendants added are all important factors in identifying the folding fans. The age of the material and the gluing techniques vary from ancient to modern times, and the clues connected in series and pendants are all important factors in identifying folding fans.
Many factors such as the material and workmanship of the ornaments and the way they are connected are important clues to identify authenticity.
Li Huqiu held the folding fan in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. The fan painting that Meng Xianzong asked Li Huqiu to taste was extremely vivid. In May in the south of the Yangtze River, the ripe loquat fruits are particularly attractive under the summer light. An embroidered eye
He was perching on a loquat branch with his tail raised and his neck raised, about to peck at the fruit, when he found an ant on it, so he turned back his beak and looked at it closely, with a very lively and interesting expression. The loquat branch seemed to tremble up and down as the center of gravity of Xiuyan's movement was unbalanced, and the scene was still.
There is movement and interest in it. From the composition to the images that appear on the paper, as soon as the entire fan is opened, a sense of life and interest will come to your face.
After watching it for a long time, Li Huqiu showed admiration and said with astonishment: "If the old man concentrates on painting, there will be another great painter in the world."
When Meng Xianzong heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became rich. He was three parts proud, three parts surprised, but four parts appreciative. "Tell me, how did you see it?" As soon as he said this, he agreed with Li.
Huqiu’s Judgment.
Li Huqiu was not pretentious and said: "When you showed me this fan, I was still thinking that your old collection must be a rare treasure. When I opened the fan and took a look, it was indeed extraordinary. At that time, I also thought
There is no doubt that this fan is an authentic work handed down from ancient times. The paper is made of gold paper from the Song Dynasty and the fan bones are made of old materials. The craftsmanship is very exquisite and there is no trace of new carvings from old materials. There are two reasons why I concluded that this fan was copied by you. Firstly,
Although you are familiar with the proportions of the raw materials for painting in the Song Dynasty, you cannot really copy hundreds of years ago. Even if the materials are exactly the same as those in the Song Dynasty, the things made today are still different from those in the Song Dynasty. The main thing is
The difference lies in the color and taste. The color of your painting is too bright and lively and lacks the classic charm of the ancient charm. Moreover, I also smell a faint floral fragrance, which is clearly the pigment picked from this year's flowers." Meng Xianzong nodded and smiled: "That's right.
Okay, let’s continue, do you have anything else?”
Li Huqiu said: "Secondly, although the production of your fan is exquisite and elegant enough to be fake, there is an obvious flaw. I guess you left it deliberately." Meng Xianzong loved to copy famous calligraphy and paintings in his life, and he was immersed in it all year round.
He has practiced this art for a long time, and his pen turns thousands of times, tactfully and casually. His skills are powerful and complex, and he can imitate most famous artists from all walks of life and make them look real. But he knows well that the artistic treasures left by his ancestors contain a vast ocean of history and humanity, and their reality is
The meaning is far greater than the artistic value revealed by the appearance. Therefore, whenever the artist cannot restrain himself, after completing a work, he will deliberately leave a unique mark on the work to prevent it from being collected as a genuine work in the future.
The authentic work is covered in dust with a rich history. Li Huqiu pointed out that there were other obvious flaws in this picture, and he obviously discovered Meng Xianzong's good intentions. He laughed and said: "Tell me, what are the obvious flaws?
"
Li Huqiu closed the folding fan, only to see small symbols in the middle of the folded fans! It was actually formed by superimposing the colors of the pictures on the fan. It could be vaguely discerned that it was the spring of the year of Meng Wuyihai. It was so delicate and delicate.
With its unique techniques and these precious materials, the artistic value of this folding fan is almost as good as the real one, but its actual value may not be worse than the real thing.
When Meng Xianzong saw Li Huqiu closing the folding fan and deliberately revealing the small paragraph, he felt that it was hard to find a confidant. This folding fan was drawn by him out of excitement after admiring flowers and drinking wine in the early spring of this year. It can be said that he
It is a rare masterpiece in his life. The most proud thing is the formation of this small style. It is ingenious and interesting. Even if he paints it again now, he may not be able to paint such a round, lively and interesting effect. He has given many people
After appreciating this fan, most people concluded that it was genuine. Occasionally, some wise people concluded that it was a fake, but they all concluded that it was a fake because they were familiar with the origin and whereabouts of the genuine folding fan. But Li Huqiu was the only one who judged it to be a fake.
He was the only one who found out the flaws that he deliberately left. What was especially rare was that Li Huqiu also judged that the painting was fake based on the color and taste of the painting. This was clearly the technique of the gopher.
Meng Xianzong laughed and said: "Don't worry, you have no friends in the future. Who in the world doesn't know you? I didn't expect that a young boy like you has such eyesight. You can really be called Meng Xianzong's confidant. However, your ability to smell scents and recognize pictures does not seem to be normal."
The method is more like the method of an old friend of mine. My old friend’s name is Jinchuan, do you recognize him?”
Li Huqiu hurriedly replied: "I studied with Master Jin for three months."
Meng Xianzong raised his head and said: "Sure enough, you can find this little money, but such eyesight is definitely not something Jinchuan can teach. You have such eyesight and understanding, no wonder you can win the favor of my two old friends."
Then she suddenly remembered her mission today. The second girl had a rare sleep. She talked a lot, and she also agreed to help host an interview. As of now, she has not yet taken the position of the examiner. Instead, she has eliminated one of the foreign devils inside.
There are a lot of interviewers. If the young man in front of me, Li Huqiu, comes for the interview, then all the trouble can be avoided. If this person is selected, it will be the special assistant of the Western Cultural Relics Collection Affairs Department. It doesn't matter if the candidate cannot be recruited for the time being.
.Then he asked hopefully: "Are you here to apply for the job?"
In the recruitment reception room, Xiao Luoyan answered the interview host's questions in fluent and professional English.
The host was a foreigner with a tall nose and deep eyes, which slightly surprised Xiao Luoyan. It was still a new thing to hire a foreigner to work in these days. Fortunately, her studies had always been excellent, and she was especially interested in the history of Western civilization.
She has special interests and a special preference for Western cultural relics and classics. In her own words, the foreign devils are only allowed to collect our treasures and display them everywhere, but we are not allowed to collect their things too? I just want to build a collection of Western art.
Home! This is also the reason why she gave up the opportunity to enter the National Museum's Archaeological Research Laboratory and came to Yongcheng to apply for the position of Special Assistant for the Collection of Western Cultural Relics.
The host is a Western man with a very attractive appearance. He introduces himself as Albert, and his spoken English has an obvious Italian accent. He is about forty years old, with dark blue eyes, a short black beard, an angular face, and a casual style.
Yuppie clothing has style and style.
At the beginning of this year, Yan Yuqian took the expansion of Fude Tang overseas. It appeared in Western art auctions at Sotheby's and Christie's successively, and made many gains. After entering May, Fude Tang Overseas was established.
The department is mainly engaged in the business of repurchasing lost cultural relics overseas and purchasing Western cultural relics. It has two departments, among which the head of the Western Cultural Relics Collection Department is Albert.
Albert was personally recruited from Europe by Yan Yuqian. He is knowledgeable and humorous. From his clothes to his manners, he has outstanding taste. Before Leford Hall, he was the third person in No. 8 King Street, London. He was auctioned by Christie's
General Consultant of Art Appreciation. The biggest reason why such a well-known figure in the international collecting community is willing to submit to Fu Fu Tang, a newbie in the collecting industry that has been founded less than ten years ago, is that he was attracted by Fu Fu Tang, the founder of Fu Fu Tang.
Yan Yuqian was deeply attracted by his personal charm.
Most of the applicants in front are graduates majoring in archeology, but only Xiao Luoyan can speak English so fluently and understand Western art history so well. From Bryulov to Michelangelo, Raphael
; From the gold and silverware of ancient Pompeii to Catherine's empress crown, Xiao Luoyan answered fluently. At the end, Albert told her to fill in the form and leave her contact information. It was certain that she was admitted. The details
The position cannot be finalized until the boss comes back.
In the lobby, out of the corner of his eye, Li Huqiu saw Xiao Luoyan walking out of the reception room with cheerful steps. He finally made a choice between opening a branch or applying for a job at Fude Hall. He smiled and said: "I am indeed here to apply. Please
For the sake of my two teachers, Fifth Master Meng will give me a chance to work in the industry."
Meng Xianzong asked him what position he wanted to hire? Li Huqiu said: "The old rule in the industry is to start from the bottom." Meng Xianzong pointed at the folding fan in Li Huqiu's hand and said: "Okay, although the talent is overqualified and the job is underserved, since it is your own wish, I
With respect, you take this thing to Li Xuan from the Pawn Affairs Department, and he will arrange work for you." When Li Huqiu was slightly stunned, Meng Xianzong hurriedly walked to the recruitment reception room. The voice came: "Ya Yun
Give a gift to a close friend, fold a fan to reward a close friend, and that fan will be given to you."
Xiao Luoyan came over and asked Li Huqiu who was the old man who just talked to him. Li Huqiu asked her how the result of her application was? Xiao Luoyan blinked her big eyes and said with a smile, "Guess what?" Li Huqiu said: "Yeah.
Guess, you have such a look on your face, it looks like you are in trouble."
Xiao Luoyan noticed the folding fan in Li Huqiu's hand, reached for it, and fell in love with it as soon as he opened it. "It's so beautiful! Yeah, it looks real!" She held it in front of her eyes, observed it carefully, and for a long time, she was surprised and said: "It's true.
Is it true? Where did it come from?" Li Huqiu pointed at Meng Xianzong's back and said, "He gave it to me."
Xiao Luoyan didn't believe it and curled her lips and said: "It's mysterious. Last time, the old Taoist gave you gold and silver embroidery. I haven't explained clearly yet. Now someone has given you something more valuable. Do you think you are Tang Monk? Everyone loves you."
"Li Huqiu said with a smile: "Tang Monk is loved by everyone, but what he loves is his flesh. You only like my body." Xiao Luoyan suddenly changed his color and said angrily: "I'm sorry, only ghosts love your body."
As for the smelly meat, your gang leader sister treats you as a treasure and loves you, honestly, do the events of the past two days have anything to do with her?"
Li Huqiu shook his head and said: "Don't make blind guesses, don't you know what sympathy means? That old man is Meng Xianzong, a famous figure in the antique shop, known as Meng Wuye."
Xiao Luoyan said: "You are bullying me. I just left school and don't understand the ways here. Please tell me quickly, where is the origin of this fifth master Meng." She just passed by Meng Xianzong and saw his appearance, so
It was ugly, and I deliberately didn't look at it more. But I couldn't forget that face after just one glance. I asked again: "His face is so scary, how do you know him?"
Li Huqiu said: "This man is amazing. When it comes to him, should you say I lied to your tears, or forget it. In addition, let me tell you that this fan is a fake, and it was imitated by Mr. Meng Wu himself."
." When Xiao Luoyan heard this, his interest increased even more, and he had to ask Li Huqiu to tell him. He was especially concerned about how Meng Xianzong's face was done. Li Huqiu had actually heard Liang Sihan talk about it. He then told Xiao Luoyan about it.
Eighteen years ago, Meng Xianzong was implemented the policy and became the director of Lin'an Museum after his ordinary life. When he was in trouble, his wife abandoned him, which devastated him. From then on, he lost confidence in women and decided to devote all his energy to his career. Later, the museum was renamed
A female college student was assigned to them, and the two got along day and night, and fell in love over time. Meng Xianzong was very embarrassed about this. On the one hand, he was worried about being hit again, so he always treated the female college student as if they were separated. Later, with the concern of the organization, they decided to get married.
Meng Xianzong was still lukewarm towards his newlywed wife. After hearing this, Xiao Luoyan said dissatisfied: "This man is not good. Otherwise, don't marry him. If you do, you should treat his wife well." Li Huqiu shook his head and said: "
You have never experienced many things, so you can't understand them. People's hearts are like the sea, and the world is bleak. Master Meng Wu's love is precisely reflected in this distance. If you want to test whether a person has true love, you can only see it in times of crisis." Xiao.
Luo Yan said: "There are so many critical moments in life, and facing a cold husband all day long, a woman might as well live her whole life in false love."
Li Huqiu said: "Maybe you are right, but as long as one day you see Meng Wuye's lover with your own eyes, you will understand how deep Meng Wuye's true love is."
Xiao Luoyan said dissatisfied: "It's a stinking problem, and it's too much to tell. Hurry up and tell the truth. What happened? Is it related to his face?"
Li Huqiu nodded hurriedly and continued: "That was ten years ago. At that time, Meng Wuye's wife had similar thoughts to you now. She thought about leaving Meng Wuye all day long, and finally filed for divorce.
, Meng Wuye agreed without saying anything at that time." Xiao Luoyan interjected: "You agreed without even hesitating?" Li Huqiu said: "What kind of person is Meng Wuye, how can he do that torn pants and wrap around his legs?
Isn’t this a coward? But their marriage is not divorced after all.”
Xiao Luoyan asked why? Li Huqiu went on to say: "On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sky suddenly became overcast, and a bolt of lightning fell out of thin air and went straight to Meng Wuye's wife. At that moment, Meng Wuye hugged her
He gave his wife a deep kiss!" When Xiao Luoyan heard this, she was so shocked that her face turned pale, and she shouted nervously: "Ah, is her wife dead?" Li Huqiu shook his head and said: "No, even the doctor
To say this is a miracle, the only explanation is that after Meng Wuye hugged his wife, their bodies increased their resistance resistance, and both lives were saved, but the right side of Meng Wuye’s face and the left side of his wife’s face
They all ended up like that." Xiao Luoyan burst into tears when she heard it, and said, "It's disgusting, and you're trying to trick people into crying again. If this story is true, why didn't you tell it to people earlier and punish you to continue sleeping on the sofa tonight."
He added: "If we encounter that kind of thing, you will definitely save me. The avalanche may not be free from the danger of lightning."
After Yan Yuqian received Yan Mingqian's call, he immediately took a flight back to Yongcheng. When he met Yan Mingqian at the airport, his first question was: "Where is that boy?"
