So what are the two differences? Dong Ziyun was so anxious that he almost ran away and strangled his father's neck. Can't you finish what you have to say at once?
Yu Fei, however, seemed to be in no hurry at all and put the water glass in front of Dong Dechang and said: Uncle Dong, drink some water to moisten your throat.
Dong Dechang nodded with satisfaction and took a slow sip of water.
Dong Ziyun had complained to Yu Fei thousands of times in his heart, as if this painting was not yours and he didn't care at all. In fact, it was not that Yu Fei didn't care, but he had already concluded with his right hand that even if this painting was an imitation
The so-called old imitations refer to imitations made before the Republic of China. Although they are also imitations, their value is not low now.
Dong Dechang waited until he finished drinking the water before continuing: The first difference is Fu Sheng's sitting posture. The picture in the Osaka Museum shows Fu Sheng sitting with his legs spread, that is, with his legs spread and his knees slightly bent.
Sitting, shaped like a dustpan. This is an informal way of sitting, usually with the meaning of arrogance and contempt. In this picture, Fu Sheng is sitting with his knees on the ground. The second difference is that the Osaka Museum
In the picture in the picture, Fu Sheng is holding a piece of paper, but in this picture, Fu Sheng is holding a bamboo slip.
So which picture is correct? Dong Ziyun asked.
To judge the authenticity, you need to know what event this painting records. Yu Fei, do you understand the content of this painting? Dong Dechang intends to test Yu Fei.
Yu Fei said humbly: I probably know a little bit.
Oh, Dong Dechang said in surprise: Tell me.
Then I will boldly say it. If what I said is wrong, Uncle Dong, you have to correct it in time. Yu Fei said.
If you want to say something, just say it. Why are you so long-winded? Dong Ziyun muttered dissatisfiedly.
Yu Fei smiled slightly and didn't care. Fu Sheng in the painting was from the Qin and Han Dynasties. The first emperor of Qin burned books to harass scholars, so Fu Sheng hid the minister's book in the wall of the house. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he took out twenty-nine suicide notes.
, in Qilu, which is today's Shandong Province, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty sent his minister Chao Cuo to study. This allusion is recorded in Fu Sheng's teaching map. Uncle Dong, I don't know if I am right.
It's rare, it's rare. Dong Dechang said with admiration: There are not many young people like you who still know this knowledge.
Yu Fei felt ashamed and said to himself: Don't you know that everything is uncertain and you can ask Baidu? Before coming to Ningdu Pawn Shop, Yu Fei went to the Internet cafe to check relevant information.
Isn't it amazing? Dong Ziyun whispered unconvinced, and then shouted loudly with sudden realization: I know that if Fu Sheng was from the Qin and Han Dynasties, then his posture should be kneeling and sitting, not the buttocks.
And sit; at the same time, the books in the Qin and Han Dynasties were all made of bamboo slips and should not be paper at all. Dad, am I right?
Dong Dechang nodded and said: It is true. Papermaking originated in the Han Dynasty, and it was extremely precious and could not be used by ordinary people. It was not until Cai Yong improved the papermaking technology in the Eastern Han Dynasty that paper was gradually used widely. And Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was the Western Han Dynasty.
There was a difference of two to three hundred years between the early emperors. Dong Dechang looked a little excited.
However, Yu Fei said doubtfully: Uncle Dong, if these two points are already obvious flaws, why do so many people still believe that the one in the Osaka Museum is authentic?
That's right. After Yu Fei reminded him, Dong Ziyun also discovered that there was something wrong, so he couldn't help but agree. As soon as he said the words, he realized that he had unknowingly agreed with Yu Fei's point of view, and he couldn't help but snorted again.
Dong Dechang glanced at Yu Fei approvingly again. Now he likes this young man more and more. He is not only calm, but also quick in thinking, and can often see the most important points at a glance.
Many people have questioned these two points before. However, firstly, not many of Wang Wei's paintings have survived, and most of them are landscapes, which is too difficult to verify. Secondly, some people have found many excuses for this. For example, some people say that Fu Sheng taught scriptures.
He was already nearly ninety years old, and sitting on his legs seemed more natural; or it could be that the bamboo slips were thick and heavy, and Fu Sheng was old and weak, so he would use paper instead of slips. After all, silk scripts were also used in the Han Dynasty, so using paper instead of slips may not be untrue; of course,
Some people also say that Wang Wei pays attention to his demeanor and does not seek resemblance in appearance, which means that Wang Wei did it intentionally. However, these reasons obviously cannot withstand scrutiny. First of all, Fu Sheng is a cautious person, otherwise he would not be able to succeed.
Han Shu has survived. How could a person with such a personality sit arrogantly when facing others? After all, he was facing Chao Cuo, an important minister of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. It is even more unreasonable to say that Wang Wei did not seek resemblance in appearance.
In this painting, in order to focus on depicting Fu Sheng's expression, Wang Wei also made very careful arrangements for individual details. Even the desk and futon are painted very neatly and the shape is very accurate, especially for small desks.
The painting is straight and graceful, with great texture. I would like to ask Wang Wei, if he painted the unimportant figures so realistically, why would he not seek resemblance in the movements of the characters and the objects they hold in their hands? So there was a controversy surrounding this painting.
After much debate, although some people suspected that the painting was a forgery,
Dong Dechang shook his head. He had joined the debate at first and was inclined to believe that the Fu Sheng Sutra teaching picture in the Osaka Museum was a forgery, but in the end he was unable to produce strong evidence.
However, the appearance of this painting can completely determine that the one in the Osaka Museum is a fake. Yu Fei, let’s not talk about the artistic value of this painting, but its significance to national dignity is very important. Dong Dechang said slightly excitedly
, Feiyang's expression seemed to be more than ten years younger. Yu Fei believed that if he were in the Osaka Municipal Museum now, he would definitely throw the real Fu Sheng Sutra teaching picture in the face of the other museum director, and said mockingly:
Look, what you have carefully treasured for decades is nothing more than a pair of Xibei goods.
Seeing Yu Fei's calm expression, Dong Dechang couldn't help but ask: What's wrong? Don't you think so?
Yu Fei nodded and said: Uncle Dong, I think Japan openly displays artworks stolen from China in its own museums. This is already a great insult to us, regardless of whether the works he stole are authentic.
It's still a forgery. Even if he snatched the Qing Emperor's urinal and used it as a teapot, it wouldn't change the humiliation of China's defeat. The act of trying to save a bit of dignity by proving that the art stolen by the other party was real or fake was just that.
Q's method of spiritual victory is a rotten behavior. If we really want to restore our dignity, there are only two ways. One is that we are strong enough to let Japan obediently send back what it has snatched from us.
, if we are unwilling to accept it, he will be even more frightened; the other way is to come and go but not to be rude. We also go to their homes and bring their artworks back to our country's museums for display.
.But I doubt whether this country has its own art.
What Yu Fei said was neither unkind nor unimportant. It was equivalent to pointing at Dong Dechang's nose and calling him rotten, but it left Dong Dechang speechless and stunned on the spot.
That's so easy to say. Suddenly, someone shouted loudly outside.
