......... Seeing that several people were silent and looked like they were watching a good show, Liu Dong knew that he was isolated. Although he had experienced this kind of situation before, he was still facing so many people all at once.
It made him feel a little surprised.
"It seems that at my current age, if I want to gain a foothold in the collecting circle, I still need to work harder!" Liu Dong thought to himself. He believed that as his status improves, there will definitely be more situations like today.
After all, people are jealous, especially at his age.
Seeing that Liu Dong was silent, the old man surnamed Han sarcastically said: "What? Are you scared? ... It doesn't matter if you are scared! Seniors like us in the industry will not embarrass you, a junior, and we can also teach you how to identify calligraphy and paintings.
This will prevent you from being too young to know the heights of the sky!"
"Boy, Mr. Qi, I don't dare to say anything more. Why don't you just let me rub you around! In addition, it would be great if I could get Zhang Sengyao's authentic "Five Elements and Twenty-Eight Constellations True Shape Picture" from this boy's hands!" Han
The old man named Liu Dong looked at Liu Dong's tense face and thought with extreme jealousy in his heart.
"As a junior, I naturally don't dare to refuse Mr. Han's invitation!" After being ridiculed repeatedly by the other party, Liu Dong felt a little angry. However, although he was young, he was steady and he naturally understood that if he spoke disrespectfully at this time, he would
He immediately fell into the lower echelons, and inevitably gained a bad reputation in the industry for not respecting his seniors.
You must know that in the antique shop, collection and appraisal industry, the traditions left by the elders are still maintained. Respecting teachers and morality is the most basic requirement. Once Liu Dong said something offensive here today, I believe no one here would give him a
The junior speaks. By then, he will probably be found guilty of disrespecting his teacher. This will be greatly detrimental to his development in the industry.
Liu Dong's answer surprised the old man surnamed Han and everyone around him. Faced with the old man surnamed Han's repeated sarcasm, according to the young man's strong self-esteem and bad temper, the other party not only did not get angry, but also showed a hint of anger in his words.
It is indeed a bit surprising that this kind of tolerant personality appears in a young man who has just turned 20 years old. After seeing Liu Dong's performance, everyone seemed to look at him a little more serious than before.
At first, everyone thought that Liu Dong was a relatively lucky junior who had just entered the industry. Now, they believed that his appraisal skills should be somewhat advanced.
"Okay, let's appraise the painting here!" As he said this, the old man surnamed Han stepped aside, revealing the paper scroll currently placed in the center of the Eight Immortals Table. One section had been stretched out, but most of it was still rolled together.
.
After listening, Liu Dong was not polite, strode to the table, and looked at the scroll unfolded in the center. After just one glance, Liu Dong was shocked.
""Haiyan River Clear Picture", a painting by Shi Tao!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
Liu Dong, who already had Hongren's original "Dead Wood, Bamboo and Stone Pictures" in his hands, was no stranger to Shi Tao, who was also the most representative and influential among the "Four Monks of the Early Qing Dynasty", and he was also familiar with one of the Four Monks.
Like Zhu Da, they were both the last princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, "Haiyan River Qingtu" is also Shi Tao's masterpiece. According to painting history records, in the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Xuan Ye, the Holy Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, visited Nanjing for the first time and visited the famous Changqian Temple. At that time, Shi Tao was
Guoxi Temple was delighted to meet him, and he and the monks of Changqian Temple greeted him respectfully. Five years later, in the 28th year of Kangxi, Shi Tao once again welcomed the Holy Master at Pingshan Hall in Yangzhou. Emperor Kangxi even called out Shi Tao's name in public.
This cannot help but make Shi Tao feel flattered and honored. To commemorate this unforgettable moment, Shi Tao specially composed two poems in seven rhymes, "Guangling Road to Pingshan Road to Meet and Gong Ji", and "Haiyan River Qingtu" was also composed at this time!
"On the eastward tour, all the nations cheered, and the jade chariot was welcomed with singing and dancing. Fang was delighted by the auspicious wind, high in the mountains of Dai, and even more saw the good weather enveloping Wucheng. President Yao Ren went to see Qu Ge, and Yu Hui came from a distance to present jade and silk, and a flute and shao instrument truly presented auspiciousness, and the wind tower
See the phoenix singing again." Looking at this poem, which was familiar to Liu Dong along with this painting, Liu Dong was quite excited.
At this time, he had forgotten the unhappiness he felt when he was ridiculed just now. Instead, he was a young painter who was excited and excited when he saw the original works of famous artists with his own eyes.
Liu Dong stretched the scroll bit by bit and looked at it carefully. The scroll, which was nearly fifty centimeters wide and nearly three meters long, clearly showed the scene when Shi Tao was received by Emperor Kangxi at Pingshan Hall in Yangzhou.
Emperor Kangxi sat in the middle, ministers standing on both sides, and officials and businessmen waiting to receive him outside the door. Of course, the most important thing was the monk standing next to Emperor Kangxi, that is, Shi Tao.
There are more than a hundred characters appearing in this painting alone, and the author used delicate brushwork to outline each character's expression and folds of clothing very clearly.
Moreover, this painting is very different from Shi Tao's past heavy painting style, which is quite handsome and elegant. However, despite this, this "Haiyan River Qing Tu" still reflects the handwriting of master Shi Tao and is one of his paintings.
A rare masterpiece.
However, what surprised Liu Dong was that there was no signature on this painting, only a few unknown appreciation seals and leisure seals. However, after he took a look at it with the relic Yuanguang, he suddenly felt enlightened.
"How's it going? Did you see anything?" The old man surnamed Han, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, asked impatiently after seeing Liu Dong stand up straight.
Hearing this, Liang Yulin looked at Liu Dong and couldn't help but shook his head secretly. This old man named Han was usually famous among the calligraphy and painting appraisers in Rongbaozhai for his narrow-mindedness and high self-esteem. If he hadn't had extraordinary calligraphy and painting skills,
Judging from the level of appraisal, I'm afraid I won't have any friends around me at all.
Now that Liu Dong is being targeted by him, he may be severely humiliated.
And in Liang Yulin's heart, even if Liu Dong has many national treasures in his hands that make him covet, he still doesn't think that Liu Dong's calligraphy and painting appraisal skills can match the old man surnamed Han. After all, he is too young, although
Age is often not a criterion for measuring a person's ability, but in 10% of cases, this criterion is still applicable. Because geniuses are in the minority in this world, and success requires a lot of time to accumulate.
"Of course I can see it! And it's not too difficult to identify this painting!" Faced with the challenge of the old man surnamed Han, Liu Dong remained calm.
"Okay, tell me then! Who is the author of this painting?" the old man surnamed Han asked quickly. Now he is most eager to see Liu Dong make a fool of himself. He thinks that he has been engaged in calligraphy and painting appraisal for many years, and he still doesn't have any national treasures in his hands.
With a world-class collection of calligraphy and paintings, Liu Dong was only twenty years old, but he already had the authentic works of Zhang Sengyao, the authentic works of Xue Ji, the authentic works of Zhao Mengfu and other national treasures. How could this comparison not make him jealous?
It would be okay if he didn't meet him, but since he met him here today, he naturally wanted to disgrace Liu Dong's face and express his bad temper.
After listening to the words of the old man surnamed Han, the eyes of several people around him also looked towards Liu Dong. At this time, Liu Dong did not show off and answered directly: "This is the authentic work of "Hai" by Shi Tao, one of the four monks in the early Qing Dynasty.
"Yanhe Qingtu"!"
"Shi Tao's "The Clear Picture of the Haiyan River"? Haha... Lao Jiang, Lao Wang, he said this is Shi Tao's "The Clear Picture of the Haiyan River"!!" Although the old man surnamed Han mocked a young man in such a wanton and public way, it made others
People were a little dissatisfied, but Liu Dong's answer seemed wrong to them!
"Young man, this is "Haiyan River Qingtu", yes, but it is not Shi Tao's original work, but a copy of Mr. Daqian!" The old man surnamed Jiang who first spoke to Liu Dong shook his head.
Everyone in the calligraphy and painting circles, appraisers, and collectors knows that Zhang Daqian is a famous "stone fan". He has copied a large number of Shi Tao's paintings in his life, and has reached the point where the fakes are real. And relying on Mr. Daqian's own excellent calligraphy and painting skills,
The prices of many of his imitations are even higher than Shi Tao's original works.
"Yes, although Mr. Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's paintings is almost as good as the original, it is very difficult to distinguish. However, there are still some differences between the two paintings. For example, Shi Tao's paintings are thicker and thicker, while Mr. Daqian's lines are much smoother and rounder.
, and this can be seen in the brushstrokes of this painting!" The speaker was an energetic old man in his sixties who was wearing a white half-sleeved shirt.
Thinking about it, he should be the ‘Old Wang’ in the mouth of the old man named Han!
After listening to what they said, Liu Dong, who was confident in his heart, naturally disagreed. Moreover, he had been ridiculed by the old man surnamed Han for so long for no reason. Liu Dong had already suppressed his anger and prepared to teach him an unforgettable lesson. So after the two of them finished speaking,
Finally, Liu Dong simply shook his head and said: "The thickness of the brush strokes and the difference in lines are indeed the methods of distinguishing Shi Tao's paintings from those of Mr. Daqian, but they are not absolute. I still insist that this painting is the original work of Shi Tao."
Liu Dong's words made the people around him frown.
Liu Dong's youth made calligraphy and painting appraisal experts who were over fifty years old and considered themselves quite self-respecting put him in the generation of nephews and disciples from the beginning, rather than a person who could communicate with each other on an equal footing. Therefore, there was inevitably a hint of instruction in his words.
Meaning. From their point of view, the knowledge he has accumulated over half his life is naturally correct. Liu Dong can only listen and do what they say, instead of openly resisting or even doubting now.
Therefore, the moment Liu Dong finished speaking, everyone labeled him as 'arrogant and arrogant'.
Liu Dong was naturally aware of the changes in everyone's expressions, but he never thought about having too many interactions with these people. Moreover, Liu Dong, who also runs Chenxiang Pavilion, will still be Rongbaozhai's competitor in the future, so he naturally did not please these people.
