Chapter 507: The Treasure in the Bulky Cabinet (Part 2)
...Fan Kuan, also known as Zhongzheng, also known as Zhongli, was born in Huayuan and was a famous northern landscape painting master in the Song Dynasty. ∽↗ Almost all landscape paintings in the Southern Song Dynasty came from Fan Kuan's line. Later generations compared Fan Kuan to Li Cheng and Dong Yuan. They are collectively known as the "Three Schools of Song Dynasty", and later the "Four Schools of Yuan Dynasty". Masters such as Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty, the "Jinling School" of the Qing Dynasty and Huang Binhong in modern times were all influenced by Fan Kuan's painting style.
Zhao Mengfu, a great calligrapher and painter of the Yuan Dynasty, praised Fan Kuan's paintings as "the last masterpieces of ancient and modern times", and Dong Qichang, a great painter of the Ming Dynasty, evaluated Fan Kuan as "the best in Song paintings". Moreover, in 2004, the American "Life" magazine rated Fan Kuan as the best painter in history. Ranked 59 among the top 100 people who have had the most influence on mankind over the millennium.
From this, we can also imagine Fan Kuan's huge influence in the history of painting. Moreover, because the time span is so large, not many of his paintings can be passed down to this day. After several visits to the world, there are only four paintings with clear traces, which are the original paintings. "Snow Scenery and Cold Forest" from the Old Summer Palace Collection and now in the Tianjin Museum; "Snow Mountains and Xiaosi Pictures" from the National Palace Museum Collection and now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" and "Sitting Alone by the Stream" picture"!
The current painting in Liu Dong's hands is 325 cm long and 110 cm wide. The ink on silk "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" should be regarded as the fifth known painting!
Of course, there must still be Fan Kuan’s authentic works in this world, but I don’t know where they are exactly!
After appreciating these four priceless paintings and calligraphy one by one, I don’t know why. Liu Dong always felt unwilling! Perhaps it was because compared to the huge and rich collection of porcelain. There were too few collections of these calligraphy and paintings, miscellaneous bronzes and jades. s reason!
Shaking his head. After getting rid of the greedy thoughts in his mind, Liu Dong opened the last ordinary black wooden box! Originally, there was a small lock on the box, but Liu Dong directly and violently destroyed it!
"Huh?" Liu Dong frowned after seeing clearly what was in the box.
Inside this box, which is 20 centimeters long, 15 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters high, are not the antiques Liu Dong had imagined before, but two very ordinary gray hard-cover books. Judging from the cracked leather in some places, Apparently these two notebooks had been flipped through a lot before!
I took out two notebooks and put them aside temporarily, and a pile of thick, yellowed paper appeared at the bottom! But I don’t know if it was because of the protection of the camphor wood bulkhead cabinet, but there were no obvious insects on these papers. It is moth-eaten, but the marks of sweat and wear are very serious!
Obviously, they are also things that are frequently turned over by their owners!
But when he took out these papers and looked at them, Liu Dong almost laughed, because the words on them were so ugly! To use a sentence his father often taught him when he was a child, it was like a dog crawling!
But after looking at a few pictures, Liu Dong's expression gradually became serious.
Soon, Liu Dong put away all the antiques on the desk. Then, after moving the excess clutter aside, he carefully laid them out on the desk one by one according to the numbers on the paper.
"This is a map!" After Liu Dong finished placing all the papers, he understood it at a glance.
And judging from the place names marked above, it should be a topographic map near Quancheng, and it is also a topographic map south of Quancheng, because Liu Dong found familiar regional names such as Crouching Tiger Mountain, Huanghua Mountain, and Jiguan Mountain on it! And here
There are also different symbols such as 'x' and '√' on the map. Liu Dong doesn't know what these symbols represent! But the two diaries next to him quickly told him.
The handwriting in the diary is also not very eye-catching, but Liu Dong is concerned about its content. And through this diary, Liu Dong also knows the name of Zhao Liangyou's father: Zhao Rongcheng!
After turning over the trivial and worthless content in front of him, when the time came to 1966, Liu Dong's hand of rapidly flipping through the diary suddenly stopped, because the content recorded by Zhao Rongcheng suddenly became passionate here, and the whole article was about defending.
The sentences of the great leader Taizu! And what follows also records almost all of Zhao Rongcheng’s actions during the ten years of the Cultural Revolution. From here Liu Dong learned the origin of the cultural relics he obtained.
Liu Dong's previous guess was not wrong. The more than a thousand pieces of porcelain he obtained back then were all "ransacked goods"!
From the diary records, it can be seen that although Zhao Rongcheng, who graduated from high school, does not understand the appraisal of cultural relics, he can vaguely understand the value of these things!
Therefore, almost every time after a house raid, Zhao Rongcheng would hand over most of the jade, gold and silver that were valuable at first sight, while secretly keeping some of the items designated as the Four Olds such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.
Of course, he couldn't be the only one who ransacked the house, so in order to stop Yunyun's mouth, Zhao Rongcheng also followed the principle of equal sharing of interests. He kept the porcelain he liked better, while the calligraphy and paintings were given to the same person who lived with him at the time.
The deputy captain of the Red Guard team, named Ma Weiguo, responded to the country’s call with the remaining bronzes and sold the scrap copper to support national construction! The other pens, inks, paper, inkstones, tooth wood horn carvings, etc. were divided among other people in the team!
During the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, Zhao Rongcheng accumulated a rich collection that is no less than any ceramic collector!
As for why there are paintings, calligraphy, gentleman's porcelain and jade seals in the bulkhead cabinet, Zhao Rongcheng also explained that they were passed down to him by his father!
There is such a record at the beginning of the second diary: "On April 9, 1975, my father was already very ill. Although I didn't understand what kind of diseases the doctor said about hypertension and tuberculosis, it had already made me sick.
My father was in a coma for three days! I originally thought that today would be the same as before, and that my father would be comatose for another day. But to my surprise, my father unexpectedly woke up at noon, and his face was rosy and full of energy. He didn't look like a man at all.
patient, but this situation reminded me of an idiom that my teacher once mentioned when I was in school, "returning to the light"! I don't know if my father is returning to the light, but this is very abnormal. I originally planned to call the doctor immediately, but was
My stubborn father stopped me!"
"Although I didn't understand it at the time, I followed my father's request and sat down next to the hospital bed again! Next, when I heard from my father this secret that he had hidden for half his life, I was completely shocked!"
"A treasure, a treasure hidden by the Japanese is actually in Quancheng! Alas...! What a pity, just when my father told me the specific address of the treasure, he was suddenly interrupted by the doctor who unexpectedly pushed the door in! And then
My father never stood up after he fell!"
"After my father passed away, I went through all his belongings and finally found my father's hidden notes in the cabinet! Only then did I realize that my father was not as simple as I thought! He was actually a Japanese,
And I am actually the son of a Japanese that I hate...!!" After quickly scrolling through a large section of Zhao Baocheng's excited and frantic words after realizing his identity, "Although he is my biological father, I will not recognize him.
The Japanese father I hate is my father, but I want to find this treasure! Unfortunately, he did not leave its exact address in his notes? Do you want me to search all over Quan City?"...
"Phew!" After spending more than an hour reading the useful parts of the diary, Liu Dong let out a heavy sigh!
In any case, he never expected that such a big secret was hidden in these two thick diaries!
Hearing the word 'treasure' in anyone's ears is enough to make the other person's adrenaline levels rise sharply! Liu Dong is no exception!
Moreover, Japan occupied the entire East Asia during World War II, and the greedy Japanese, who burned, killed, and looted, even collected a large amount of gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy, and rare treasures from the major occupying countries! But because of the navy's
Failure, these last looted treasures could not be safely transported back to the country. Coupled with the explosion of two atomic bombs, Japan surrendered too quickly, so many of the properties looted through the war were left in the belligerent countries!
However, the greedy Japanese were unwilling to lose the looted wealth, so they secretly hid it to take it out again and transport it back to the country in the future!
So after the war ended and Japan recovered from the ruins after the war, it began to embark on this task. They did succeed a lot! But many were discovered and confiscated by the country where they were located! Some of them became
Mystery!
The treasure mentioned in Zhao Rongcheng's notes came from the Japanese North China Front Army in World War II!
After Japan was bombed by two atomic bombs in 1945, many Japanese generals realized that defeat was inevitable, so they began secret preparations. Neto Fu, then commander-in-chief of the North China Front, was appointed by the Emperor to mobilize the most elite personnel
Escort all the valuable materials of the North China Front and hide them in Quancheng!
The reason why I chose this place is that after World War I, Japan replaced Germany's position in Shandong. It has deep operations here, second only to the three northeastern provinces that penetrated after the Sino-Japanese War of 1891-1891. It also built a secret military base in the Luzhong Mountain Area next to Quancheng.
Base! In addition, put things here, it is closer to the seaport, and Shandong is closer to Japan, which will facilitate future transportation!
The reason why Zhao Rongcheng's father knew this secret was because he was one of the Japanese soldiers responsible for burying these valuable materials! But what he didn't expect was that in order to completely hide this secret, the headquarters actually killed his own people!
However, Zhao Rongcheng's father was very lucky, because his body structure was a little different from other people's. His heart was not on the left side of his chest like ordinary people, but on the right side.
He passed out but was not dead!
After accidentally escaping, he was afraid of being killed, so he didn't dare to return to the army, let alone return to China, so he settled down in China anonymously. Fortunately, after a few years in China, he could speak Chinese fluently.
He also has yellow skin and black eyes, but most people can’t see anything unusual. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
