"Xiaodong, I still have a few pieces of Mr. Pu Chu's works there. I'll leave them to you to store them here together!" Qi Gong said slowly after scanning the scrolls on the wall one by one.○
"Mr. Qi, is this appropriate?"
Facing Liu Dong's hesitant look, Mr. Qi smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing inappropriate. Isn't it better to have fun alone than to have fun together? And the preservation conditions in my museum are not as good as yours!"
Liu Dong knew that this was all Mr. Qi's excuse, but looking at the sincere look on the old man's face, Liu Dong didn't say the word of rejection that came to his lips.
"I understand, Mr. Qi!" Liu Dong nodded respectfully.
"By the way, Xiaodong! I also have a few of Mr. Pu Chu's works. I'll give them to you when the time comes!" Mr. Dong said.
"this……!"
After waving his hand to interrupt him, the old man shook his head and said, "At our age, life counts one day at a time, and the things in our hands have to be disposed of. If there are no accidents, they will basically be handed over to the museum in the end. Since
In this case, I might as well leave the things to you, so that I can rest assured!"
"That's what Old Dong said!" Mr. Qi also nodded in agreement.
"Good people have been fooled by you two! But I don't want these two old guys to be just playing with pens. In addition to the donated things in my hand, there are some bamboo, wood and rhinoceros horns that are still valuable!
If you don’t mind it, I’ll leave it to you when the time comes!”
"Mr. Hong...!"
Seeing the very sincere words of the old man, Liu Dong was moved and had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know how to express them out!
"Okay. Let's go out and see other things. It's a hard time coming here. Don't miss it!" Mr. Qi smiled and patted Liu Dong on the shoulder, then walked out with his two old friends next to him.
"That's right, you can't miss such a good opportunity!"
Looking at the three old men walking out in agreement with each other, Liu Dong made up his mind to make the museum prosperous, and he would not waste the support of his three seniors!
Next to the Zhao Puchu collection exhibition hall are the works of the famous calligrapher Shen Peng. Next to Shen Peng is Ouyang Zhongshi, and next to Ouyang Zhongshi is Wang Yong. They are basically the most famous calligraphers in contemporary China. Except for calligraphers.
, the exhibition room on the second floor also has paintings by contemporary famous artists such as Cheng Shifa, Wu Guanzhong, and Fan Zeng!
There are all kinds of exhibition rooms on the second floor of Liu Dong. There are about twenty exhibition rooms of contemporary calligraphy and painting masters. Each painter's exhibition room is about 200 square meters, and the number of works in them is also uneven, with more than five or six.
Ten paintings, or less than a dozen!
But looking at the handwriting of so many contemporary famous artists gathered here, it can also be seen that Liu Dong has really put in a lot of effort!
However, the space on the second floor is no less than 4,000 square meters, which is not enough for the exhibition rooms of more than 20 contemporary painters. The remaining part is the exhibition room of the works of deceased modern masters such as Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Li Keran, Lin Fengmian, and Fu Baoshi!
"These are all given to you by that old boy Li Renfang, right?" Hong Changshan asked with a smile, looking at the scrolls on the wall and the specially framed sketches and even sketches around them.
"Well, most of them were donated to the museum by Mr. Li!" Liu Dong said honestly.
"I guessed it was him. Back then, this guy was so shameless in asking for things from others!"
After listening to Mr. Hong's words, Liu Dong smiled slightly awkwardly. As a junior, he really couldn't express his opinion on the affairs of his elders.
"Speaking of which, it's fortunate that Lao Li saved these things in the first place, otherwise it would be difficult to see them today!" Mr. Qi looked at the words on the wall, with a trace of memory on his face.
I think these people who have passed away were his friends and even mentors back then! But now he can only rely on these works on the wall to pay tribute to the friendship he once had!
"Let's go to the third floor and have a look!"
After browsing through the exhibition rooms on the second floor one by one, the group took the elevator to the third floor! A small part of the third floor is still the previous personal exhibition room, but the remaining several large exhibition rooms with an area of more than 400 square meters
But they are all comprehensive exhibition halls.
The largest of them is the exhibition hall for calligraphy and painting works of the Qing Dynasty. The area of this exhibition hall alone is close to 1,500 square meters! Moreover, there are special horizontal partition walls in this 1,500 square meters, which increases the exhibition area of the entire exhibition hall by nearly one percent.
Times!
The reason why it is so large is because Liu Dong has a lot of Qing Dynasty books, paintings, and inscriptions. The total number of them is no less than 4,500! The exhibition room is full, and less than one-fifth of it is put down.
!
"Is this the "Kangxi Southern Inspection Map"?"
After entering the door, Qi Gong was the first to ask in slight surprise as he looked at the huge scroll that occupied the front wall, measuring 67.8 centimeters in length and more than 20 meters in width, and blocked by tempered glass.
Although the old man never used his surname of Aixinjueluo to show off that he was the queen of the royal family, the blood connection was not ordinary after all, especially when he saw the saint ancestor in the scroll who was surrounded by people, wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
When Xuan Ye came, Mr. Qi also showed a hint of respect and complexity on his face!
Seeing Mr. Qi's expression, Liu Dong, who was about to answer, silently stopped.
After about a few minutes, Mr. Qi looked away from the scroll, shook his head slightly, and said to Liu Dong: "Xiaodong, how did you get the fifth and eighth volumes of "Kangxi's Southern Inspection"?
Coming?"
"When I went to Europe a few days ago, I bought it from a man named Eskenazi!" Liu Dong replied.
Of course, this sentence is only half correct, because the fifth volume of "Kangxi's Southern Tour" was bought by him from Eskenazi, but the eighth volume was obtained from the Van Gaal family of the Netherlands.
The 'wonderful empty hand' thing of the year!
Of course, the reason why this painting can be displayed here openly by Liu Dong is because he had already asked Jose Aguilar to help him clear his name! Even if he is recognized in the future, Liu Dong will only
The excuse is that he bought it from the black market in the United States. As for the return? Of course it is impossible, this is something from China!
After listening to Liu Dong's explanation, Mr. Qi nodded, "Volume 5 and Volume 8! The first volume of the Forbidden City, the ninth volume, the tenth volume, the eleventh volume, the twelfth volume, Paris
The second and fourth volumes of the Guimet Museum, the third volume of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the sixth volume of Phoenix, USA, and the seventh volume of the University of Alberta, Canada, totaling twelve volumes of "Kangxi's Southern Tour"
Finally, they are all born!" Mr. Qi said with emotion.
In order to further ease the contradictions between the Manchu and Han nationalities and the contradictions between the ruling class and the people, Emperor Kangxi Xuan Ye won over the scholar-bureaucrat class in Jiangnan. Between the 23rd and 46th years of Kangxi's 24th year,
He made six southern tours to the southeast area. He started from the capital, entered Suzhou from Qilu, Pojiang River and south to Suzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and the farthest was across the Qiantang River to Shaoxing.
In order to record this "Southern Tour Ceremony", Emperor Kangxi ordered to recruit and select painting experts from among common people across the country to draw the "Southern Tour Picture"!
And the last person selected to preside over the painting of "Kangxi's Southern Tour" was Wang Hui and Wang Shigu, one of the six great painters in the early Qing Dynasty!
It consists of twelve silk scrolls, each with a length of 67.8 cm and a width of 1555-1555 cm. The huge painting, which was completed in three years by Wang Shigu, Xu Jin and others, concentratedly reflects the customs, customs and characters of China during the Kangxi period.
!Each one is an undoubted national treasure painting!
"You are really awesome, you can get such good things!" Hong Changshan praised.
"There are more good things than that. This "Liao Zhai Happy Picture" is no worse than the two "Kangxi Southern Inspection Pictures"!" Mr. Dong said in surprise as he looked at the huge scroll that was 45 centimeters in length and 2180 centimeters in width in front of him.
"Pu Songling's "Liao Zhai Happy Pictures"? Didn't it disappear in the late Qing Dynasty?" Mr. Hong walked over with a look of disbelief.
And Mr. Qi, who was equally curious, did not fall behind!
"If it really disappeared, then this painting would never appear here!" Mr. Dong's calligraphy and painting appraisal ability is not bad at all! Naturally, he can tell the authenticity of this "Liao Zhai Xing Happy Picture"!
However, Liu Dong's national treasure-level artworks here are not only "Kangxi's Southern Inspection Picture" and "Liaozhai Xingle Picture", but also the silk "Qianlong's Southern Inspection Picture" "Staying in Gusu" and "Standing in Hangzhou",
Four volumes of "Military Parade at Jiangning" and "Return to the Forbidden City"! As well as the "Picture of Presenting Prisoners to the Western Regions" and "Picture of the Southern Inspection Route" painted by the court painter Xu Yang during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!
There are still works by famous Qing Dynasty artists such as the "Four Kings", "Four Monks" and "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou", and there are even more works by Liu Dong!
Just a Qing Dynasty calligraphy and painting exhibition hall made the three old men linger here!
"Xiaodong, do I want to discuss something with you?" Hong Changshan suddenly came up and asked.
"Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"Haha, it's not that serious! Just promise to let me visit the museum every day for free!" Hong Changshan said quickly.
"You old guy, you are always so picky!" Mr. Dong laughed and scolded.
"What? You don't want to come?" Hong Changshan, who was ridiculed by his old friend, asked after his face turned red.
"With so many good things, I am naturally willing to come here every day, but I am not a freeloader like you!" After finishing his words, Mr. Dong looked at Liu Dong and said: "Xiaodong, how about I come to your museum as a consultant? When I have nothing to do, I can
You can help the museum repair calligraphy and paintings, or do appraisals or something!"
"Count me in!" Mr. Qi immediately agreed.
"And me!" Mr. Hong said quickly.
"Several seniors are serious. It's an honor for my museum that you can come. No conditions are required!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"Hey, you have to do some work every day! Exchanging labor for reward is the right thing!"
Looking at Mr. Dong who quickly walked out of the exhibition hall after finishing speaking, Mr. Hong couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This old guy knows how to harm me!" (To be continued.)
