This title of Mr. Ma made Chen Ran puzzled. The champion of the jade carving competition was true, but what was going on with this dragon and phoenix jade? What he didn't know was that dragon and phoenix jade was now his title in the jade industry, and it couldn't be said to be a title.
That's what everyone calls him now.
Originally, even if he won the jade carving competition, he would not be so famous, but the incident of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant that happened during the competition caused a sensation in the entire jade industry in the Central Plains, making everyone in the jade industry aware of Chen Ran.
Such a person.
But being famous means being famous, but most of them can't call Chen Ran by name. During the competition, they all used numbers. Although Chen Ran said his name once in the middle, how could anyone else remember it?
Come on, when someone mentions Chen Ran, if they can't remember his name, they will say "dragon and phoenix jade". But as word spreads, they simply use "dragon and phoenix jade" instead of Chen Ran's name.
Later, in the jade world, there was also a dragon and phoenix jade!
"Can this be true?" Upon hearing Wang Zhiqing's question, Mr. Ma immediately stared.
After confirming that Chen Ran was the champion of the jade carving competition, Wang Zhiqing was surprised, and his attitude immediately changed: "Brother Chen, hey, I was lucky enough to see Mr. Shi's pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, but he didn't look like him at all.
There is no flaw in the chicken heart pendant with phoenix pattern. Brother Chen's eyesight is really convincing..."
"Oh, you are the Xiaoran that Mr. Bai talks about all the time. It turns out to be you. Mr. Bai praises you a lot and keeps saying how lucky you are..." Wang Zhiqing hasn't finished yet.
Yes, Liu Lei's surprised voice came from the other side.
Chen Ran was a little dizzy...
What is this?
Not to mention he was a little dizzy, even Guo Hai was a little dizzy. Although Chen Ran's uncanny ability to pick up leaks in the past few days gave him a great stimulation, he had never thought about when Chen Ran
It has become so powerful that he didn't suddenly realize it until now.
"Holy shit, buddy, when did you become so awesome!" Guo Hai asked Chen Ran in surprise and excitement. "Brother, he's so awesome, and his face also shines. Of course, it just feels like
So excited...
The sudden changes of Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei made the people at the TV station a little stunned. They were not in the industry, so they didn't know anything about dragon and phoenix jade, porcelain exhibitions and the like. They had heard of the jade carving competition some time ago, but
They had just heard about it. One thing they did recognize was that the young man in front of them was very famous in the collecting circle, which surprised them all. Could it be that this young man had very good eyesight?
It’s just that he is so young, but how powerful he can be...
Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei wanted to say something to Chen Ran, but they were interrupted by Mr. Ma waving his hands. A meaningful smile appeared on his face: "You still think that this ancient painting is a modern one?"
Crafts?”
Mr. Ma's words suddenly stunned everyone, and then they all focused on Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei.
Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei both had a trace of caution on their faces. Before this, they would have answered without hesitation, yes, this painting is a modern handicraft, but now it makes them hesitate, but hesitation
After a moment, the two looked at each other, and finally nodded. Although the situation in front of them seemed a little wrong, in their opinion, this painting, no matter from any aspect, could not be a real ancient painting.
drawn!
"Teacher, is there any problem with this?" Wang Zhiqing asked strangely.
Liu Lei also answered: "Mr. Ma, please don't tell me that this painting is not of modern craftsmanship. Even if you beat me to death, I won't believe it. Although I am not very proficient in ancient paintings, with this little bit of eyesight, I
There are still some, this painting is just a piece of cake."
Mr. Ma did not answer them, but turned to look at Chen Ran and said with emotion: "Xiao Chen, your eyesight puts me to shame. I thought you were just proficient in jade. Some time ago, from Bai Bai
The old man learned that you also studied porcelain, but now I didn’t expect you to be proficient in calligraphy and painting!"
Chen Ran couldn't say much, so he could only smile and say: "It's just bad luck!"
"This...how is this possible, old man, are you mistaken?"
Although Mr. Ma did not answer Wang Zhiqing and the others, his affirmation of Chen Ran undoubtedly gave them the answer. For a moment, they were all dumbfounded and stunned!
"Why is it impossible!"
Mr. Ma was still smiling when he was facing Chen Ran. When he turned around to face Wang Zhiqing and the others, his face immediately darkened. He pointed at the two of them and snorted: "It's a good thing you two call yourself experts.
You damn experts, let me tell you, compared to Xiao Chen’s eyesight, you two are far behind.”
"..."
Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei were so lectured by Mr. Ma that they didn't dare to say a word. Even though one of them was the deputy director of the Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, and the other was the vice president of the Collection Association, in front of the old man, they were just being punished.
But they were punished, but they still didn't believe that the painting in front of them could be authentic...
how could it be possible!
After training them, Mr. Ma turned to look at Chen Ran: "Xiao Chen, teach them a lesson and let them know that the sky is high and the earth is high!"
Mr. Ma's words immediately made Chen Ran dumbfounded. He knew that the ancient paintings were authentic, so how could he explain why? He quickly shook his head: "Mr. Ma, you really asked me, I
I don’t know anything about this either, I just happened to be lucky.”
"Look at Xiao Chen's attitude. This is what you need when playing antiques. Although Xiao Chen is young and has good eyesight, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous. This is something you cannot compare to."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei rolled their eyes at the same time. At this moment, it was obvious that the old man just liked Chen Ran. No matter what Chen Ran said, in his eyes, it was all good, and they also
I chose wisely to remain silent, but I felt very unconvinced.
Chen Ran was also a little speechless. He wanted to explain it again, but he thought that no matter how hard he explained it, no one would believe it, so he just let it go.
After snorting, Mr. Ma said in a deep voice: "You judge this ancient painting to be a modern work of art because you haven't seen or heard of the style of this painting, right? Indeed, in Chinese history,
It is true that there has never been an ancient painting of this style. However, in this world, not only China has history and ancient paintings, but other countries also have them. Now you understand, yes, this painting
It is indeed a valuable ancient painting, but it was not painted by our Chinese painters. To be precise, it should be a Japanese calligraphy and painting!"
"How is that possible!" As soon as Mr. Ma finished speaking, Wang Zhiqing exclaimed blankly: "The style of painting is obviously the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties!"
"Why is it impossible!" Mr. Ma snorted heavily: "This is why I said you are unprofessional..."
After snorting angrily, Mr. Ma explained the origin of this ancient painting clearly.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, when China completed its transition from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, next to the giant dragon of China, the island country was also undergoing great changes. The wily Tokugawa family won the
He took over the throne of the great shogun who ruled Japan, then cleaned up the chaos, unified the country, and completely entered the Edo period.
The Tokugawa shogunate's policy of advocating Confucianism led to a nationwide enthusiasm for Sinology and a fascination with Ming and Qing painting schools.
In China during the same period, it was the Nanzong theory that was overwhelmingly dominant in the painting circles of the early Qing Dynasty. Here, I have to talk about what the Nanzong theory is. The Nanzong theory is actually the famous theory in Chinese history.
Literati School of Painting.
Literati painting, also known as "Scholar Painting", is a type of Chinese painting school. It generally refers to the paintings made by Chinese scholars and scholar-bureaucrats in China's feudal society. It is different from the paintings of folk painters and professional painters from the court painting academy. Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty proposed that "Scholar Painting"
"Painting", Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty praised it as "the painting of literati", with Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty as its founder and the ancestor of the Southern Sect.
In Japan during this period, Japanese people all imitated the styles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. People like Pengcheng Baichuan, Yanagisawa Kien and others were considered the first generation to imitate. At that time, they were completely copying the styles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
After the 18th century, some calligraphers from the Qing Dynasty came to Japan one after another. Regardless of whether they were amateurs or how famous they were, as long as they could do a few strokes, they would be flocked to by the arty Japanese when they arrived in Japan.
Seen as a great opportunity to observe practical skills.
Figures such as Yifu Jiu, Shen Nanping, Fei Hanyuan, Song Ziyan, Zhang Qiugu, Jiang Jiapu and others were unknown in China. Their identities were either ship owners or businessmen, but they could frequently travel to Japan and spread their skills. Gradually,
Yes, a painting school has also formed in Japan. This painting school is based on the Nanzong theory of China and is called Nanhua in Japan.
Japanese Nanhua paintings were originally imitated from Chinese literati paintings, and the style naturally has shadows of Ming and Qing styles. However, after all, they are not Chinese, so they naturally incorporated some Japanese styles and the painter's own style, and formed it in Japan.
Among this painting school, there are two painters who are the most famous and can be regarded as representatives of Southern Painting. These two figures are Chi Daya and Xie Wucun.
As Mr. Ma finished speaking, everyone in the audience suddenly nodded in realization——
"So this is ah……"
[I originally planned to go out for a walk on May Day to get some fresh air, but a friend told me that there was another day in April, the 31st, so I thought today was the 31st and was waiting to go out tomorrow until noon.
