…
"'Entering the Han Palace on the fifteenth day, the flowers are smiling in spring. The king chooses the color of jade and sleeps on the golden screen.' Is this Yu Shinan's "Song of Resentment"?" Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised after seeing the content in the scroll.
But what surprised him even more was what came next, "Mr. Qi, this...is this the authentic copy of Yu Shinan's "The Song of Resentment"?"
Liu Dong was very familiar with Yu Shinan's "The Song of Resentment" and had copied the copybook of this five-character ancient poem. However, compared with this ancient poem, which only has nine crosses, the number of words and the number of words on this scroll about the promotion and seal of later generations.
, exceeding the original work by several times, or even more than ten times! Among them are works by famous artists such as Su Shi, Cai Jing, Dong Qichang, and Wang Shimin! From the perspective of appreciation, this can be called an orderly inheritance!
This shows how precious it is!
"That's right! This authentic running calligraphy work of Yu Shinan's "The Song of Resentment" has been in my hands for thirty or forty years!" Qi Lao responded with emotion.
Liu Dong knew something about Mr. Qi's life. In that chaotic era, Mr. Qi was often tortured by the Red Guards because of his writing. If it weren't for a virtuous wife by his side, I'm afraid the old man would have passed away! And these treasures
His paintings and calligraphy had already been burned to the ground!
It's just that the premature death of his wife was an irreparable pain deep in Mr. Qi's heart. It was probably because of this that he hadn't renewed his relationship for many years! So Liu Dong wisely didn't ask any more questions on this issue. After the old man finished speaking and nodded lightly,
Then he focused his attention on the calligraphy scroll in his hand.
Needless to say, the rarity of this scroll, which is only 15 centimeters in length and nearly 6 centimeters in width.
Yu Shinan, as one of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", is famous in the world together with Xue Ji, Chu Suiliang and Ouyang Xun. He is good at running calligraphy, his handwriting is mellow and beautiful, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He inherited the tradition of the two kings and is highly regarded.
Later generations praised it.
In addition to his achievements in calligraphy, in politics, Yu Shinan experienced the Chen, Sui and Tang dynasties. He was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty. He was praised by Emperor Dazong of the Tang Dynasty for his virtue, loyalty, erudition, diction, and calligraphy.
He is a 'contemporary famous minister with accurate human ethics'.
To sum up, his original calligraphy has been handed down for more than 1,300 years, and it is extremely precious to preserve it to modern times! But as far as this running script of "The Song of Resentment" is concerned, it is a well-deserved treasure in any museum across the country.
The treasure of the museum!
"Look at this again?"
Just when Liu Dong was enjoying Yu Shinan's "Song of Resentment" for a while and was about to put it away and return it to Mr. Qi, he saw the old man once again took a scroll from the box and handed it to him.
"Look again?" Liu Dong was stunned for a moment. But seeing the affirmative look on the old man's face, and also being quite curious about these three scrolls deep down in his heart, he didn't refuse!
However, after Liu Dong unfolded it, what appeared in front of him was not the calligraphy he thought before, but a mountain calligraphy and painting. The center of the picture was "Two Pines and One Stone". The two pine trees were ancient and powerful, and a bluestone stood under the pine.
, no more than ten feet away to the left, is the cliff. Against the background of the distant mountains, it is majestic and handsome. It is really a good scenery!
At the same time, Liu Dong also felt the vigor, simplicity and splendor of northern landscapes from the pictures!
"'Scanning freely, the peaks and ridges are formed one after another. The tip of the pen is cold and the trees are thin, and the ink is pale and the wild clouds are light. The rock fountain is narrow, and the roots of the mountains are level. When I show it in the Zen room, it is also called the feeling of suffering and emptiness.' Is this the authentic work of Jing Hao?" Liu
Dong suddenly said in shock.
"Oh, Xiaodong. You haven't seen the signature yet, so why do you think this is Jing Hao's authentic work?" Mr. Qi, who had been silent just now, suddenly laughed.
"Haha, Mr. Qi, you can't trouble me with this! I know all about Jing Hao's life story!" After a pause, Liu Dong continued, "According to records, Jing Hao was born in the Later Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. During this period, due to the volatile political situation, he retired from official service. He began his career of "hiding in the valley of the Taihang Mountains" and named himself Hong Guzi. Because there were few people in the mountains, Jing Hao worked hard to support himself and often painted pine trees and landscapes. He had little contact with the outside world. , but it has more connections with Qinglian Temple in Yedu, and Dayu, the abbot of Qinglian Temple, has asked Jing Hao for paintings many times!"
"The ancients thought that there was no separation between poetry and painting. Monk Dayu left a poem, 'Six paintings are firmly built, and I know that you can trace your pen at will. I don't ask for a thousand streams of water, just two pine trees. Leave a rock under the tree, and the horizon is far away. The peak. Near the rock is a quiet and wet place, but the ink smoke is thick.' Jing Hao then painted based on the poems of the foolish monk, and the resulting painting was the "Picture of Pine and Stone", and the poems on the painting were also written by Jing Hao when he donated the painting. Stay!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dong pushed the scroll with his left hand, and sure enough, the two seals of 'Jing Hao's Seal' and 'Hong Guzi' appeared on the back!
After smiling calmly, Liu Dong turned to look at the slightly surprised old man and said, "Mr. Qi, it seems that I guessed it right!"
"Papa...!"
After the applause fell, Mr. Qi smiled at Liu Dong with approval and said, "I didn't expect that in addition to porcelain, you would also have such high achievements in the appreciation of calligraphy and painting!"
"You are too praised. I just read a few more books! My ability to talk on paper is still far from yours!" Liu Dong said modestly.
"Haha, you don't have to be too modest! This art of appreciation is originally a process of knowledge accumulation! The more you know, the faster you will progress! Moreover, at your current age, you can know this, which is already amazing!" the old man praised. road.
"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded.
There is nothing wrong with being modest, but excessive modesty becomes hypocrisy!
Seeing him like this, the old man nodded with satisfaction and took out the last of the three scrolls again.
"Come and look at this again!"
Liu Dong didn't know the old man's purpose of doing this, but driven by curiosity, he happily took it with both hands.
"It seems like this page is really quite big!"
Looking at the scroll rolled up in his hand, which was no less than a centimeter in diameter, Liu Dong thought to himself.
"'The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is primitive.' It turns out to be the "Thousand-Character Essay", no wonder it is so thick!"
"Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand Character Classic" are known as the three major enlightenment books of Chinese studies. Almost all ancient Chinese scholars are familiar with these three classics, and there are also many literary masters and calligraphy masters. Use it to write and become a work! And the painting in Liu Dong's hands is obviously the same.
And from the elegant and elegant running calligraphy of this "Thousand-Character Essay", we can also see the extraordinaryness of its author! At least Liu Dong took a look at it and realized that it was too far behind others!
"The Thousand-Character Classic" has a total of more than 990 characters. The length of the scroll in Liu Dong's hand is also as much as 13 centimeters, and the width is also about 1 centimeter. It can be said to be a huge work!
"Su Dongpo?"
When he saw the signature "Su Dongpo Seal" and "Tieguan Taoist" at the signature, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
The names of Su Shi and Su Dongpo are known to every Chinese, and I won’t introduce them here. However, this person’s achievements in calligraphy are also regarded as peerless masters! Together with Huang Tingjian, he is also known as "Su Huang" , together with Mi Fu, Cai Xiang, and Huang Tingjian, are known as the "Four Song Masters"! In poetry, they are also known as "Su Xin" with Xin Qiji! In articles, they are also known as "Ou Su" with Ouyang Xun, and he is also the famous "Tang Dynasty Master". One of the Eight Great Masters of Song Dynasty!
What is even more rare is that this man was also good at calligraphy and painting, especially good at ink painting, bamboo, strange rocks, dead wood, etc. Although he failed politically in the later period, he was posthumously awarded the posthumous title "Wenzhong" by Song Gaozong after his death.
Wenzhong is a posthumous title given to ministers by the ancient officials. It is second only to "Wenzheng" in rank! In the Song Dynasty for more than 400 years, the only ministers who could be awarded Wenzhong after death were Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Zhou Bida, Wang Yaochen,
Eight people, Zhen Dexiu, Fu Bi, Zhang Jiucheng and Jiang Wanli, can be said to be very few! At the same time, it shows how valuable it is, and it also proves that Su Shi is extraordinary! He can almost be called a top-notch all-rounder in poetry, calligraphy, painting, politics and other aspects.
!
And the works he left behind have naturally become national treasure-level cultural relics worth thousands of gold!
Liu Dong never thought before that this last piece of running script "The Thousand Character Essay" was actually Su Dongpo's authentic running script!
"What do you think of these three works of mine?"
At this time, Mr. Qi glanced at Liu Dong and asked with a smile.
"Every piece is a rare national treasure!" Liu Dong said without hesitation.
Yu Shinan, four families in the early Tang Dynasty!
Jing Hao, the originator of the Northern Landscape Painting School!
Su Dongpo, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and one of the Four Great Masters of the Song Dynasty!
Each of the three people is a famous figure in their own era, and their works are highly praised by future generations! The authentic works that have been passed down for thousands of years and have been preserved to this day are all priceless national treasures!
A top-notch work of art like this will be regarded as a treasure by every collector in modern times! This includes Liu Dong, who now has countless treasures!
"Since you think they are precious, I will give them to you today!"
"Hmm, ah?" Liu Dong, who had just nodded, suddenly reacted, turned his head and stared at Mr. Qi with a face full of disbelief, "What did you just say? Give it to me?"
"Yes! Why, you don't like them?" Qi Lao asked with a smile.
"No, no, people all over the world can understand how precious they are, how could I not look down on them! But it's really because they are too precious, that's why I can't have them!" Liu Dong waved his hand quickly and said in an urgent tone.
Although Liu Dong considers himself not a good person, he also has principles that he insists on! He can take advantage of and even kill people without any scruples from those scum and scum that he doesn't deal with. But when it comes to the seniors he respects in the industry, he doesn't care.
No matter what, I won’t be presumptuous!
Seeing Liu Dong's sincere performance, Qi Lao felt comforted in his heart. He felt that he had indeed seen the right person, and entrusting these works to him was the most secure way for him to deal with it!
