Chapter 399 Shocking Ancient Paintings
.........The appearance of Yuan blue and white flowers naturally made Mr. Li very excited. He took this piece of porcelain and gave a few people a lesson on the appreciation of Yuan blue and white flowers. However, except for Liu Dong who listened carefully, Mrs. Li and Li Yuncong
Basically it’s just coping.／
Next, Liu Dong took out the dozen or so national treasure-level precious antiques that he took out last time in Quancheng and showed them to Mr. Li one by one, which made the old man praise him repeatedly.
"It's a pity that you didn't bring the Lei Gongqin 'Jiuxiao Huanpei' this time!" the old man sighed.
"Mr. Li, the Lei Gongqin is over one meter long. It's not easy for me to hold it by myself. I'll bring it over to you when I come next time!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Then I'll be waiting!" As he said that, the old man looked at the box next to him, and there was still a box that he hadn't taken out. "Hey, what good stuff is in here!"
“You’ll know just by looking at it!”
Looking at the smile on Liu Dong's face, the old man smiled and said: "You are still pretending to be mysterious when you follow me!"
As he said that, the old man reached out and took out the long wooden box from the box, then found a free place and opened the box. Then an ancient scroll appeared in front of the old man. When he carefully took out the scroll, and then
It unfolded bit by bit, especially when the old man saw the center part of the painting, the expression on his face suddenly became serious.
Because he discovered that the heart of this painting was actually silk. Anyone who likes collecting knows that painting with silk was popular before the Song Dynasty. After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the technology of making rice paper has been very mature. The most famous one is the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The "Chengxintang paper" used by the later owner Li Yu is famous for its skin as egg-like membrane, as strong and clean as jade, and as thin and smooth. Because of its excellent quality, it is rated as the best paper in the papermaking history of the Han nation. It is called "the middle paper".
King of'.
Silk paintings are also different. Silk paintings before the Sui and Tang Dynasties were generally made of single silk silk. Silk paintings from the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty have turned into double silk silk made of longitude and latitudinal silk. From the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty, silk and paper were the only ones that were popular at the same time.
In the world of calligraphy and painting, by the Ming and Qing dynasties, silk was rarely used in painting.
The understanding of these calligraphy and painting materials is knowledge that every calligraphy and painting connoisseur and collector must master, and Mr. Li is no exception.
So when he saw that the material in the center of the painting was monofilament silk, he understood that if this painting was correct, it should be an ancient painting from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Even if the ancient paintings of the Sui and Tang Dynasties that have been passed down to the present are not of the highest quality, they are still very valuable. After all, there are more than a thousand years of history in them. It is really not easy to preserve them until now.
Moreover, in addition to the texture of the heart of the painting in his hand at the moment, the old yellow color of the silk is also due to natural aging and was not made. Seeing this, Mr. Li's expectations in his heart were naturally higher.
At this time, Mrs. Li and Li Yuncong, who were nearby, also noticed the abnormality in Mr. Li's expression, and naturally looked towards the scroll that was slowly unfolding in his hand.
"Uh!" When Mr. Li saw that the heart of the painting was less than half a foot open, the expression on his face was suddenly shocked. Because the silk that he unfolded the heart of the painting was full of seals of various sizes and shapes.
, as well as seal script, cursive script, regular script and other different promotions. Among them, there are many seals and promotions such as 'Zhenguan', 'Kaiyuan', and 'Xuanhe Palace Treasure' that can represent the royal collections of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Because the habits of modern people are different from those of the ancients, Mr. Li opened the scroll from left to right, so what he saw at first was the end of the painting. He did not see the name of the painting, but soon he saw a line of regular script signature.
'Yinqing Guanglu doctor Zhang Sengyao, the prefect of Wuxing'!
As soon as he saw this line of signature, Mr. Li's eyes suddenly widened to the extreme, his chest rose and fell, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?" The old man's appearance startled the old lady who was looking at the painting next to him. It also made Li Yuncong and Liu Dong nervous.
Especially Liu Dong, if Mr. Li is really up to something, he will be doomed.
"Hoo, ho!" After Li Laolian took a few breaths, his mood finally stabilized. He waved his hand to the boss to indicate that he was fine, then turned his head seriously and asked with infinite expectation: "
Xiaodong, is this really the authentic work handed down from ancient times to Zhang Sengyao, one of the "Four Great Masters of the Six Dynasties" during the Liang Dynasty during the Southern Dynasties?"
"Old man, you know that my level of calligraphy and painting appraisal is limited now. Judging from the promotion above, this is indeed Zhang Sengyao's authentic work!"
Hearing this, Mr. Li also nodded. Although he has not seen the specific content of the painting, whether it is the material of the painting, the degree of natural aging, or even these promotions and seals, it all shows that this painting is indeed
Authentic. However, the more precious the antique, the more cautious you must be when appraising it. Even if you give it 99% certainty, as long as there is 1% doubt, you cannot give a positive appraisal result.
Therefore, Mr. Li is extremely cautious at this moment.
"Old man, why don't you stop watching it now and wait until you feel calmer before we watch it again! Xiaodong won't be able to leave for a day or two anyway."
Faced with the boss's worries, Mr. Li waved his hand firmly. If he didn't see what was going on now, he wouldn't have anything else to think about, let alone rest.
"Don't worry, old lady! I know my own body, it's fine!"
The old lady, who knew Mr. Li's character very well, naturally knew that she could not persuade this stubborn old man. Think about how many people were imprisoned in the bullpen because of the destruction of the four olds during the Cultural Revolution.
However, Mr. Li did not give up at all, which shows his crazy love.
However, even though she knew that she could not persuade Mr. Li, the old lady was still prepared to call the emergency call immediately if something happened.
At this time, Mr. Li had already begun to continue to unfold the scroll. With Mr. Li's cautious movements, a god-man with a beast's head and a human body and a weapon in his hand appeared in front of him astride a strange beast.
"Xiaodong, who is this monk? I have never seen the old man so excited as he is today, and it is not his favorite porcelain!" Noticing Mr. Li's increasingly excited expression, Li Yuncong, who was puzzled, walked slowly away.
When he reached Liu Dong's side, he asked quietly.
"You don't know Zhang Sengyao?"
Looking at the surprise on Liu Dong's face, Li Yuncong's eyes flashed with embarrassment. Although he also has a hobby of collecting, he prefers jade articles that are fascinating and valuable at first sight. As for porcelain, calligraphy and painting,
I basically don’t understand things like bronze miscellaneous items.
The only masters of calligraphy and painting that Li Yuncong knew were Wang Xizhi, Zhan Ziqian, Yan Liben, Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, etc. These characters were often played on TV and highlighted in history textbooks.
Looking at Li Yuncong's expression, Liu Dong also understood what he was thinking. After thinking for a while, he asked: "What do you think is the most famous and expensive among Chinese calligraphy and painting works?"
"Does it need to be said? Of course it is the original "Lanting Preface" by the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi. It is the best running script in the world and a priceless treasure! Even elementary school students know it!" Li Yuncong said immediately.
After listening, Liu Dong nodded, "This authentic work by Zhang Sengyao is as valuable as the "Lanting Preface", it is a priceless treasure!"
After Liu Dong finished speaking, Li Yuncong's mouth immediately turned into an O-shape, with a look of shock on his face.
Of course, this is not Liu Dong’s nonsense. Let’s not mention Zhang Sengyao’s status in the history of Chinese painting, as well as the length and exquisiteness of this painting. It is the only authentic painting from the Southern and Northern Dynasties that has been handed down to the present, which means that it is the earliest existing painting.
Chinese painting is a national treasure, a priceless treasure.
Before Li Yuncong asked in detail, he heard Mr. Li muttering to himself from low to high: "The True Shape Picture of the Five Elements and Twenty-Eight Constellations. This is the True Shape Picture of the Five Elements and Twenty-eight Constellations by Zhang Sengyao!"
"Xiaodong, is this the "Five Elements and Twenty-Eight Constellations True Shape Picture" by Zhang Sengyao?"
Seeing the old man's excited and uncontrollable look, Li Dong quickly said: "Yes, old man, this is indeed Zhang Sengyao's "Five Elements and Twenty-eight Constellations True Shape Picture", but we said it is not possible and we have to wait for everyone to admit it!"
"This is definitely Zhang Sengyao's authentic work. No matter from the material, natural aging, handwriting and promotion, it all means that this is the "Five Elements and Twenty-eight Constellations True Shape Picture" that has been inherited in an orderly manner. Hum, when this painting comes out,
Let’s see what else the little devil can be proud of! A copy of Liang Lingzan’s, and it’s only half of it, how can it compare to this original!”
Of all the countries in the world, Japan is undoubtedly the one that the Chinese people hate the most. Especially the older generation like Mr. Li who fought in the Anti-Japanese War, they are particularly strong.
"No, I'm going to make a call right away and clear the name of this authentic painting of Zhang Sengyao first!" After saying that, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed.
"By the way, Xiaodong, do you have any objections?" To be honest, the old man still sounded a little embarrassed at this time. After all, this painting is still in Liu Dong's collection. He made his own decision without even asking, which is somewhat embarrassing.
The old man felt a little embarrassed.
"No objection!" Now, in this situation, how could Liu Dong still have any objection.
To be honest, Liu Dong was still a little hesitant about whether to reveal Zhang Sengyao's "Five Elements and Twenty-eight Constellations True Shape Picture" in his own hands now. Revealing it would enhance his reputation and status in the antique collecting world, and of course it would attract all parties.
Buyers are also a problem. They can even attract domestic and international art thieves.
Liu Dong had been weighing the pros and cons before, but now that Mr. Li is here, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
After getting Liu Dong's permission, Mr. Li made more than a dozen calls at once. The invitees were basically the top calligraphy and painting appraisal masters in the capital. Among them were Qi Gong and Xu Bangda, whom Liu Dong was familiar with.
"Okay, Xiaodong! Let's put away these antiques first! Otherwise, if there are too many people waiting, if any one of them is bumped, it will be an irreparable loss!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated.
