Chapter 1117: Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition Hall
Chapter 1,117 Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall
…
Next to the Qing Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall is the Ming Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall. However, compared with the Qing Dynasty, the number of Ming Dynasty calligraphy and paintings in Liu Dong's hands is obviously much smaller. After more than two years of searching, Liu Dong has been able to collect about 2,000 paintings.
Generally speaking, the number of Ming Dynasty calligraphy and paintings is comparable to that of many large provincial-level museums in China, but it is still difficult for Liu Dong to satisfy him!
Liu Dong, who was determined to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, had set a minimum collection of calligraphy and painting of 60,000 pieces for himself! But now he only has one-eighth of this number in his hands. And among them, the works of modern calligraphers and painters account for
half!
Moreover, the materials for calligraphy and painting are generally paper and silk, which are perishable and difficult to preserve! Therefore, the goal Liu Dong set for himself found it very difficult to achieve even though he had the sharp weapon of relics at his disposal.
However, it is precisely because of being tired and seemingly unachievable that it is easier to motivate yourself, otherwise this life would be really boring!
Without further ado, after leaving the Qing Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall, the group entered the Ming Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall next to it. In this 1,500-square-meter hall, which is not half smaller than the Qing Dynasty Exhibition Hall, about 1,000 paintings and calligraphy are on display.
His works account for almost half of Liu Dong’s Ming Dynasty paintings and calligraphy!
The reason why the rest has not been taken out is that there is not enough space for the time being. The other is also because I have just established a private museum. Although I have the support of Mr. Li, taking out so many things at once will inevitably arouse suspicion, so it is better to keep a low profile.
!
In addition, regular updates of exhibits can also attract tourists for a longer period of time!
"Tang Yin's "Hundred Beautiful Pictures"?" Mr. Dong looked at the 140 cm long and 60 cm wide scroll in front of him and said with slight surprise.
"I didn't expect this boy to collect so many of Tang Yin's paintings, including "Songya Farewell", "Spring Mountain Companion", "Fuyu Mountain Dwelling", "Xiqiao Herding Returns", "Looking at Plum Blossoms", "River
"Talking about Ancient Pictures in the Pavilion", my dear, there are twelve or three of them, right? Except in the Forbidden City, I have never seen anyone else who can collect so many paintings by Tang Yin at once!" Hong Changshan looked at the side of the exhibition hall dedicated to
The exhibition area for Tang Yin's works was opened, and he was a little surprised.
"There are many more works by Xu Zhenqing, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and Qiu Ying over there?" Mr. Qi added silently!
Liu Dong, who was on the side, looked at the jealous eyes of the three old men. After coughing to cover up, he quickly changed the subject and said: "Seniors, why don't we browse the entire exhibition hall first? There will be many opportunities to appreciate it in detail later, otherwise
I’m afraid there’s not enough time!”
"We'll have lunch at your place. Just deal with it casually. We'll continue reading in the afternoon. There's still plenty of time!" Hong Changshan waved his hand.
"That's right!" Mr. Qi and Mr. Dong next to them also nodded in agreement. For them, eating is secondary. Appreciating these exquisite works of art and experiencing the essence of the previous culture are the most important.
!
However, despite what the three old men said, looking at Liu Dong's large collection, if they look at things with their research mentality, it will definitely not be possible to finish them all in one day. So they also consciously speeded up. Today, let's start with
Browse it once, and come back every day from now on.
So, after spending half an hour looking at the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting exhibition hall, I went to the next Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and painting exhibition hall. This exhibition hall is not as big as the Ming and Qing calligraphy and painting exhibition halls, and there are not as many works!
In the exhibition hall of about 500 square meters, there are already about 300 Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and painting works by Liu Dong!
However, although the number of works in the exhibition hall is very small, the three old men spent nearly an hour in it.
In particular, the treasures of the Yuan Dynasty exhibition hall, "Autumn Hunting of the Yuan Dynasty" and "Ten Sons of the Xuanyuan Dynasty" by Zhao Mengfu, were favored by the three old men.
After viewing the Yuan Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall, it was noon. Liu Dong originally wanted to let a few old men eat first, and then continue reading in the afternoon, but he seemed to be getting excited, and he was about to get into calligraphy and painting. The three old men who occupy the most important part of the exhibition hall have long forgotten about eating.
In fact, the exhibits in the Liu Dong Song Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall lived up to the expectations of the three old men. When they first entered, they fell in love with the calligraphy scrolls placed in the tempered glass display cabinet at an angle of 45°!
The length of the hand scroll alone reaches 18 meters in the center of the painting. If you include hundreds of densely packed promotions and seals on both sides, as well as the remaining white space, the length of the entire calligraphy hand scroll is as much as 26 meters!
The length of the single essay has exceeded the "Kangxi Southern Inspection Map" that several people have seen before!
Although it is slightly smaller in width, only about 45 centimeters, this long calligraphy scroll written with three sheets of double silk is also a rare calligraphy masterpiece by the three old men!
What’s even more rare is that it was written by a famous artist!
"Litchi Pu" by Cai Xiang, one of the Four Masters of the Song Dynasty?" After reading it carefully, Mr. Qi came to a conclusion with excitement and a bit of disbelief!
"What? Is this really Cai Xiang's handwriting?" Hong Changshan said in shock.
It's not that he doesn't trust Mr. Qi's appraisal ability, he's just simply surprised! After all, there are very few authentic calligraphy works of Cai Xiang that have been handed down to this day. To say they are rare is a bit too much!
Now seeing such a huge calligraphy scroll of Cai Xiang, Hong Changshan was naturally a little shocked.
"This is indeed the authentic copy of Cai Xiang's "Lychee Pu". I didn't expect that such a national treasure could still exist in the world?" Mr. Dong also had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Xiaodong, you have such a good thing in your hand, you should have told me earlier!" Mr. Qi couldn't help but said.
For Mr. Qi, material things don't matter. Even porridge and pickles every day are as delicious as glutinous rice. But the pursuit of calligraphy is indispensable.
Therefore, I am particularly enthusiastic about the calligraphy works of ancient calligraphy masters!
"Mr. Qi, actually it hasn't been long since I got this authentic painting of Cai Xiang!" Liu Dong couldn't help but say something against his will!
In fact, this "Lychee Pu" was obtained from the underground black market on the outskirts of Changping when he first came to the capital two years ago, and that was also the first time Liu Dong committed a killing spree.
Later, because this thing was too precious and its origin was somewhat unknown, and Liu Dong was also afraid that it would attract prying eyes from other people if it was exposed, he kept the entire national treasure-level painting and calligraphy work in his hands and kept it secret!
But now, Liu Dong, whose strength has greatly increased, is naturally confident to keep these things in his hands, and he no longer has as much scruples about displaying them as he did at the beginning!
Qi Gong did not investigate the authenticity of Liu Dong's words, because Cai Xiang's "Litchi Pu" calligraphy in front of him was far more attractive than Liu Dong's words!
"Good guy, is this "The Pillar Inscription" by Huang Tingjian?"
Hong Changshan did not specialize in calligraphy and painting appraisals like Mr. Qi and Mr. Dong, so he did not focus all his attention on Cai Xiang's "Lychee Book" like the two of them. Instead, after reading for five or six minutes, he read "Lychee Book".
After appreciating it once, he turned his attention elsewhere!
Therefore, I soon discovered the authentic copy of Huang Tingjian's "Dianzhu Ming" next to Cai Xiang's "Litchi Pu" calligraphy scroll! And this is also a huge calligraphy and painting scroll with a length of 11 meters.
"What? Huang Tingjian's "The Pillar Inscription"? Where is it? Where is it?"
Hong Changshan's words immediately touched the hearts of Mr. Qi and Mr. Dong, two people who love calligraphy and painting. As soon as Hong Changshan finished speaking, he ran over excitedly and shouting.
Its speed was so fast that Liu Dong, a young man, couldn't help but sigh secretly after seeing it.
However, Liu Dong could also understand the urgency in the hearts of the two old men. After all, Huang Tingjian, one of the 'Four Scholars of the Su Sect', became a master figure of the 'Su Huang' generation with his teacher Su Shi!
Moreover, his calligraphy is unique. Like Cai Xiang, he is also a famous calligrapher of the "Four Schools of Song Dynasty"!
The painting "Inscription on the Pillar" in Liu Dong's hands at this moment is one of Huang Tingjian's masterpieces! It is of immeasurable value!
However, this time, Mr. Qi and Mr. Dong's attention did not last long on Huang Tingjian's "Inscriptions on Pillar Pillars", because in this 500-square-meter exhibition room, although Chinese treasure-level calligraphy and painting works can be seen everywhere, there are also various
Forty or fifty paintings!
Whether it is the original poems of Xin Qiji or Li Qingzhao, Fan Kuan's "Sitting Alone in the River", or Ma Yuan's "Ta Ge", they are all masterpieces!
The number of calligraphy and painting works in the entire Song Dynasty calligraphy and painting exhibition room is no less than 400!
The reason why there were more calligraphy and painting works in the Song Dynasty before the Yuan Dynasty is because the Song Dynasty existed longer than the Yuan Dynasty. There were eighteen emperors in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. The 319-year-old Guo Zuo was the third emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Times, and the literary style of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, so naturally there were more calligraphy and painting works left behind!
"Liu Dong, please advise the three seniors. They are old. If they don't eat at noon, their bodies may not be able to survive!"
Just as the three old men were lingering in the Song Dynasty exhibition hall with excited expressions, Zhou Mingchun, an old student of Qi, walked up to Liu Dong.
"Yes, Liu Dong! The teacher listens to you the most, so you should go and persuade him!" Fang Guogang, as a student of Mr. Dong, came with the teacher this time to congratulate Liu Dong on the opening of the museum, but there is more.
Or take care of the teacher's health.
The two took the lead, and several other people who had master-disciple relationships with Mr. Qi also spoke one after another.
"Everyone, you also know the tempers of the three old men. It may not be useful for me to say it at this time!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"this?"
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
They all know the temper of their respective masters. Even Mr. Qi, who seems to have the most reasonable personality, will become extremely stubborn when he encounters something he likes!
