"I am also satisfying my curiosity, it doesn't have to be this way."
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, took the painting unveiling tool provided by the boss, and started working.
To completely peel off a painting requires certain skills, otherwise either the painting on the surface or the painting underneath will be damaged, which is not worth the loss.
Lin Xiao carefully sprayed the liquid on the edge of the scroll, and then used slender tweezers to start to uncover the painting bit by bit.
This scroll looks like there is only one painting, which shows that the texture of the two drawing papers is very thin and cannot be pulled hard.
Lin Xiao used a little skill to find the thread, and then lifted the drawing paper from the corners little by little.
As the scope of the opening became wider, everyone around took a breath of cold air.
Because under the drawing paper above, there is actually another layer below!
"Ah! Look at this inscription and postscript, it seems to be a work by Cai Xiang!"
As the inscription in the corner was revealed, the owner of the antique shop exclaimed, his face turned red, his fists clenched, and he watched this scene excitedly.
A few more people came into the antique shop just now. They originally wanted to see the antiques, but when they saw Lin Xiao unveiling a painting here, they also came around with great interest.
Yun Caixi covered her mouth and looked at Lin Xiao with admiration: "Master, there is actually a layer of painting inside. How did you see it? It's amazing!"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, as long as he found the thread, the rest of the painting would be easy to uncover.
He directly took off the entire painting, and the work that had been hidden was finally revealed to the public.
And it was not a painting, but a calligraphy work. Looking at the inscription, it turned out to be a work by Cai Xiang of the Northern Song Dynasty!
In the past dynasties, there were four sayings: "Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai".
These four people refer to Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and Cai Xiang respectively.
Their calligraphy styles are all unique and are typical representatives of the Song Dynasty calligraphy style.
Cai Xiang is an indispensable key figure in the development history of calligraphy in the Song Dynasty and has a lofty status in the history of calligraphy.
His calligraphy works are vigorous, dignified, simple and perfect.
Expanding Cai Xiang's calligraphy works makes people feel like a spring breeze blowing on their face, full of warmth.
Su Dongpo and Ouyang Xiu both praised him. Su Dongpo even thought that Cai Xiang's calligraphy was "infinitely mutable with heart and hand imprinted together", with the power of auspicious dragons and dancing phoenixes, and was the best calligraphy in the Song Dynasty!
The calligraphy and painting work that Lin Xiao unveiled at this moment is Cai Xiang's representative regular script work "Zi Jin Tang Ji"!
This work was written by Cai Xiang for Han Qi. He put a lot of effort into the creation and wrote each word dozens of times. Only the best words were selected and put together to form this whole work.
works.
Therefore, this "Zijintang Ji" is also called the "Baini Monument".
This patchwork is perfect in a single font, but when you look at it, it seems that the structure is incoherent and the echo between the words is not enough.
Therefore, this also means that "Zijintang Ji" is not as impressive as Cai Xiang's other works from the perspective of the whole work.
However, these problems have little impact on the overall value of "Ziu Jin Tang Ji".
