........."Please come in!" After receiving the affirmative answer, the strong man in black gave way to the door.
Seeing this, Liu Dong smiled and strode in.
And when he just turned around the screen wall, he saw a middle-aged man who was not tall but had a simple and honest appearance walked out of the main room, looked at Liu Dong and asked with a smile: "Are you Mr. Liu?
"
"Oh, I am!"
"Uncle is waiting for you inside, please come with me!"
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Liu Dong also guessed his identity.
Anyone who knows Mr. Qi knows that the old man has no children. After his wife passed away, although many people came to seek help, the old man never renewed their relationship! Only Zhang Jinghuai, his nephew, has taken care of the old man for nearly twenty-five years.
.Obviously the middle-aged man just now must be Mr. Qi’s nephew.
"Thank you!" Liu Dong expressed respect from the bottom of his heart for this middle-aged man who was honest, honest and extremely filial.
Perhaps seeing Liu Dong's mood at the moment, Zhang Jinghuai smiled, turned around and walked into the house without saying anything.
Liu Dong, who was following behind, saw Mr. Qi sitting in a wheelchair in the living room as soon as he entered the door, greeting him with a smile.
Seeing this, Liu Dong did not dare to neglect, and quickly crossed the threshold and said hello respectfully, "Old Qi, I'm disturbing you again!"
The world's evaluation of the old man is that he is loyal, respects the elderly, respects the virtuous, is humble, cautious, repays kindness, is indifferent to fame and wealth, does not care about favors and disgrace, and never complains. He has a peaceful temperament and never gets angry easily. He is easy-going, humorous, and likes to joke.
, can get along with all kinds of people.' In the past, Liu Dong was still a little skeptical, because few people can have so many advantages. But after really getting in touch with Mr. Qi, he truly understood why everyone said that Mr. Qi was
He is a good gentleman with good knowledge, good character and good popularity.
"Haha, disturbing is out of the question. I really hope you can disturb me more often, so that I can appreciate a few more good paintings!" the old man said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as you don't find me annoying!"
"By the way, Xiaodong, don't take anything from me when you come here, otherwise I won't be able to put it in my study!" People all know that Mr. Qi is indifferent to fame and fortune and has a simple nature. Although he is one of the leading calligraphers and painters in the country, he does not sell anything.
All the money for the paintings was donated, so the people who came to visit basically brought pens, inks, papers and inkstones, the four treasures of the study. The accumulation over the years is probably enough for the old man to use for decades!
"I understand, Mr. Qi!" Although he agreed, Liu Dong had no intention of coming empty-handed in the future.
"Xiaodong, come with me. I've already framed your painting. See if you like it!" With that, Liu Dong followed the old gentleman into the study.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Dong saw the "Five Elements and Twenty-eight Constellations True Shape Picture" placed on the desk in the center of the study.
Noticing Liu Dong's eyes, the old man smiled and said: "I just brought it over yesterday, and I haven't had time to frame it yet!"
"Mr. Qi, don't worry about the framing. You must take care of yourself. If you get tired, then I will be guilty!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"Haha, don't worry. Although the old man is old and in poor health, he is not that delicate yet!" After finishing speaking, the old man continued: "Jing Huai, go and take out the painting I put in the safe.
!”
"Oh, I'll go right away!" After agreeing, Zhang Jinghuai turned around and walked out of the study.
Not long after, he walked in with a cardboard painting box in his hand, "Uncle, is this it?"
"Yes, give it to Xiaodong!"... "Xiaodong, are you satisfied with it?"
Listening to Mr. Qi's words, Liu Dong smiled and said: "Your craftsmanship is well-known in the industry, how could I be dissatisfied!" As he said that, Liu Dong opened the painting box and found a scroll tied with white tassels and exuding an elegant fragrance.
Appeared in front of Liu Dong.
"Mr. Qi, your framing skills are really unparalleled, it's amazing!" Liu Dong walked to the free desk and opened the scroll. He looked at it like a new one, with no wrinkles or bumps at all.
The abdomen and back are simply integrated into one body! If it weren't for the slight difference in color, you wouldn't be able to tell that this painting has been framed with the naked eye.
"Haha, as long as you are satisfied! By the way, I have left a foot and a half of blank space at the beginning and end of this painting. If someone promotes and seals it in the future, there will be enough space!"
After listening to what Mr. Qi said, Liu Dong nodded, and then said: "In that case, Mr. Qi, why don't you leave the calligraphy treasure first?"
"Haha, are you willing?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Your old calligraphy treasure is worth a thousand dollars, but it's too late for me to ask for it! How could I be reluctant to part with it!" Liu Dong said sincerely.
"Then I won't be polite!" Mr. Qi also liked this painting, which was the only authentic work of Xue Ji among the four families of the early Tang Dynasty. However, the old man had his own principles. Without the owner's permission, he was
No payment will be made privately.
After finishing speaking, Mr. Qi took out a bloodstone seal as big as his thumb from his pocket. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly pressed it on the blank space on the left side of the scroll, waiting for the old man to pick up the seal.
By that time, the four regular script characters "Yuanbai Zhenzhan" had been clearly imprinted on the scroll!
The seals on calligraphy and painting are mainly divided into three categories: 1. The seal of the author himself. 2. The seal of the person who wrote the postscript. 3. The seal of the collector or connoisseur. The seals used are divided into three aspects: 1.
Name, font size, restaurant, leisure articles, auspicious words, aphorism seal. Three, collection and appreciation seal.
Name and font size seal: usually stamped below or to the left of the author's name. Zhaiguan and hall number stamps are usually stamped around or below the word "style". They are also used to greet the head and are stamped in the upper right corner. Xianwen and auspicious words
, aphorism seals are generally stamped on the left and right lower corners of calligraphy and painting, as inscriptions, and are also used to greet the head. Collection and appreciation seals are generally stamped on the left and right lower corners of calligraphy and painting, or on blank spaces that do not hinder the calligraphy and painting works themselves. They can also be stamped on calligraphy and painting.
framed otherwise.
At this moment, Mr. Qi’s seal of ‘Yuan Bai Appreciation’ is a seal of appreciation.
However, Liu Dong is not satisfied with just an appreciation medal. After all, Qi Lao's calligraphy treasures are hard to find, and for an ancient painting, whether it is inherited in an orderly manner is really important to its value. With this
Mr. Qi's promotion and seal undoubtedly proved the authenticity of Liu Dong's authentic painting of Xue Ji, and further enhanced its value.
"Mr. Qi, a single chapter is a bit too lonely, why don't you write another postscript?" Liu Dong said quickly.
"Haha, okay! As long as you don't dislike it!" In Mr. Qi's view, being able to inscribe and seal this national treasure scroll is a supreme honor for a calligrapher and painter.
Next, Liu Dong polished the ink, and Qi Lao polished the brush. After a brief meditation, he wrote on the left side of the scroll: "There are many people who paint cranes in the world. Their attitude of flying, drinking, and pecking is worthy of this."
Detailed. However, there are few people who are good at painting cranes. No matter how shallow or deep the top is, how dark the cloak is, how long or short the beak is, how thin or large the shanks are, or how high or low the knees are, there is not one person who can draw from life. And there is no one who is better than others.
Female, it is particularly difficult to distinguish between north and south. Although the name is good at painting, the painting of a crane with its claws touching the ground is also lost. Therefore, (Xue) Ji's use of this is quite wonderful, and it is appropriate to be named after ancient and modern times.
Yan."
Liu Dong was no stranger to the words praising Xue Ji in the "Xuanhe Painting Book" of the Song Dynasty.
"These are the words of praise that future generations will use to praise Xue Ji's paintings of cranes. Today, let me, an old man, ghostwrite and return these honors to him! Alas, as thousands of years have passed, only these authentic works of Xue Ji may be left today.
One piece!" After sighing, Mr. Qi wrote the time next to it and stamped it with his personal seal!
"By the way, Xiaodong! I heard from Brother Li that your calligraphy is also very good! Just take this opportunity today to write a postscript on this painting yourself!" As he said that, the old man handed over the brush in his hand.
"Old man, although I can calligraphy, I'm far behind you! I don't dare to show my shame now!" Liu Dong waved his hands repeatedly.
"Hey, why are you so polite? Anyway, this painting is your own, and it's not easy to get praise from Brother Li!" As he said this, Mr. Qi put the brush in Liu Dong's hand.
Seeing this, Liu Dong did not refuse any more, otherwise he would have been looked down upon by others. What's more, he was also very confident in his calligraphy skills, especially after improving his martial arts to a higher level, he could control his strength more accurately.
, the feeling of natural external objects is clearer. This kind of peeling off the outer shell and going straight to the heart is like a sixth sense, which has improved the level of sculpture, painting and calligraphy that Liu Dong has learned. This may be
People often say the relationship of 'Three thousand roads lead to the same path'!
After taking up the pen and pondering for a while, Liu Dong wrote two lines of regular characters in the blank space next to Qi Lao Tiban, "calligraphy and painting are both outstanding, crane painting is unparalleled"!
People say that words are like the person they are. Liu Dong's regular calligraphy is vigorous and majestic, walking like a dragon and a snake, without any sloppiness. It shows a very high level of calligraphy.
After finishing writing, Liu Dong looked at it, nodded secretly with satisfaction, took out his private seal from the mustard space, and stamped it.
After finishing all this, he turned around and saw the surprise on Mr. Qi's face.
Noticing Liu Dong's eyes, the old man looked him up and down before smiling: "I used to agree with the saying, 'There are no absolute geniuses in the world, only those who work hard.' Now it seems that this sentence may not be true either."
Absolutely!"
"Mr. Qi, you are looking up to me too much...!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"Haha, good is good, no need to be modest!" the old man said after interrupting Liu Dong with a wave of his hand.
