Chapter 620: The posthumous work of the ‘Three Wonders’ is a national treasure—“Golden Bridge Picture”



The landscape painting is 1.8 meters long and 60 centimeters wide. The content is mainly about majestic and steep mountains. In the style of thick ink and heavy colors, it has a bit of Mr. Huang Binhong's "black binhong" characteristics of dense darkness and translucent black!

But compared to Mr. Bin Hong’s master-level skills, the level of this landscape painting is far behind.

However, judging from the slightly yellowed paper surface of this painting and the slight traces of moth damage and sweat stains, it must be at least a few years old.

But it was something that was thirty or forty years old at most, and coupled with the gap in level, Liang Sicheng wondered why Liu Dong chose to buy it.

"This painting was passed down from my father, an old item from the Republic of China period...!"

"Stop, just tell me how much it costs and that's it!" Liu Dong said.

If it weren't for the author's signature on it, this guy would probably be considered a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation by Master Bin Hong.

"Hey, it's not expensive, two thousand!" The young man raised two fingers towards Liu Dong.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Sicheng quit!

"Xiaodong, let's go! I'll pay you two thousand for this broken painting. I don't even want two hundred!"

"Hey, brother, you can't say that. This is an ancient painting handed down from my ancestors. Two thousand yuan is already a discounted price!" The young man is not one to compromise easily.

"you……!"

After stopping Liang Sicheng from continuing, Liu Dong said: "Two thousand, just two thousand. I want this painting!"

"Xiaodong...!"

"We'll talk about it when we get back!" Liu Dong signaled to Liang Sicheng to calm down and took the scroll from the young man's hand. Then the two of them left here.

After more than ten meters away from the stall, the impatient Liang Sicheng could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, and he did not think that Liu Dong's eyesight could not see the value of this painting.

"Old Liang, don't jump to conclusions easily until the end. This painting is not simple!" Liu Dong said with a deep joy in his words.

"It's not simple? Why can't I see it?" Liang Sicheng asked doubtfully.

"Haha, you'll know it soon!"

Seeing Liu Dong's mysterious appearance, Liang Sicheng no longer wanted to continue shopping. He quickly took Liu Dong back to the hotel. He also wanted to see Liu Dong because he collected Zhang Sengyao's "Five Elements and Twenty-eight Constellations True Shape Picture".

And Xue Ji's "Ruihe Tu", and what kind of treasure did this guy who rose like a comet in the collecting world get?

"Liu Dong, stop being so pretentious and tell me what's so unusual about this painting!" Liang Sicheng said impatiently as soon as he returned to the hotel.

After nodding, Liu Dong pulled out a low table next to the window and placed the scroll on it without opening it. Instead, he took out the Frost Tiger Knife.

"Hey, where did you get this knife?" Liang Sicheng's face was full of surprise when he saw Liu Dong quietly taking out a dark dagger about one foot long and with a sharp blade from behind his butt.

Such a sharp weapon is not suitable for keeping in your pocket.

"I'll tell you later!" After finding an excuse to send Liang Sicheng away, Liu Dong first cut off the exposed ground pole from the scroll.

"Liu Dong, why did you cut it off? The two poles of heaven and earth are the original parts of this painting, and they are not damaged. It will cost money to repair them in the future!" Liang Sicheng said.

"Is this painting more important, or is the secret hidden in this painting more important?" Liu Dong couldn't stand this guy's verbosity and said angrily.

"Of course secrets are important!" Liang Sicheng said without thinking.

"Then shut up!"

After appeasing Liang Sicheng, Liu Dong carefully cut off the head of the ground pole.

Then Liu Dong put the frost tiger knife aside, then turned the cut side down, and patted it gently, and soon a long roll of yellow oilcloth 60 centimeters long and 3 centimeters thick fell out.

"Xiaodong, there really is something!" Liang Sicheng said with surprise as he looked at the oilcloth bag stuck on the edge with wax.

"Of course!"

While Liang Sicheng was playing with the long oilcloth strip that Liu Dong found, Liu Dong had already opened the scroll, and after removing the sky pole, he also took out a long oilcloth strip of the same specifications and sealed with wax.

"Xiaodong, open it quickly and see what's inside. It's hidden so secretly. It must be some great antique! If you can find a famous painting, you will make a lot of money." Liang Sicheng said anxiously with a hint of envy.

After Liu Dong nodded, he used the knife in his hand to peel away the wax on the surface little by little. After removing the oil cloth on the outside, a layer of delicate silk cloth like Buddhist scripture paper appeared in front of them.

"This is monofilament silk!" Liang Sicheng said excitedly.

Although the content of this yellow silk cloth is not yet known, its material alone pushed its age to before the Tang Dynasty, because the silk after the Tang Dynasty was all double silk silk! And after the Tang Dynasty, cheap paper gradually became the basis for calligraphy and painting

The main carrier of silkworms is already rare!

At this time, Liu Dong's breathing became a little heavier, because the red light on the silk cloth was so dazzling, almost as good as the original "Han Qie Tie" written by Wang Xizhi that he had obtained before!

Although it had been restored with relic Yuanguang before, Liu Dong was still cautious when unfolding this precious work, for fear of causing any damage to it.

"Is this Su Dongpo's promotion and seal?" Liu Dongcai had just unfolded it less than a foot, and Liang Sicheng was already shouting excitedly.

Also, anyone who loves calligraphy and painting will not be able to help but feel excited after seeing the handwriting of this master of the Song Dynasty.

"Taozi painted figures as if using a lamp to capture shadows, going backwards and forwards, sideways and out. Horizontal, oblique and straight, multiplied and divided by each other, and the natural numbers were obtained, without missing a beat. He created new ideas in the law and conveyed wonderful principles to the law.

In addition to being bold and bold, the so-called freedom of movement and luck can be achieved by just one person in the past and present..., Daozi!!!" Seeing Su Dongpo's bold notes, Liang Sicheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

Throughout the ages, apart from the painting sage from the Tang Dynasty who was famous throughout the ages, there is no other person who can be called "Daozi"!

"Xiaodong, is this really...?" Liang Sicheng stared at Liu Dongdao with red eyes and heavy breathing.

"Be patient, you'll know soon!" Liu Dong also took a few deep breaths before trying to stop his hands from shaking too much.

After listening to his words, Liang Sicheng quickly focused his attention on the scroll itself.

Soon, following Liu Dong's actions, someone who was promoted and sealed by everyone appeared!

Shen Zongqian, who was born during the Qianjia period of the Qing Dynasty, had the courtesy name Xiyuan, also known as Jiezhou, and Yanwan Laopu. His two masterpieces, "Spring Dawn in the Han Palace" and "Ten Thousand Stems of Smoke and Rain", are regarded as masterpieces by connoisseurs of later generations!

After the notes of this great painter of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty masters He Liangjun and Li Rihua, the Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and painting connoisseur Tang Jie, the Song Dynasty Xuanhe Neifu, and the 'Kaiyuan' seal representing the Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji all appeared one by one!

Next to this Kaiyuan seal, there is a line of promotion, which reads: In the 13th year of Kaiyuan, the emperor pardoned the Linde Hall to enshrine Wu Daozi, a doctor of internal medicine, the minister, and Zuo Wuwei General Wei Wuyi, and Chen Hong was enshrined in the Linde Hall. The "Golden Bridge Picture" painted in Luzhou made the emperor very happy and called it the "Three Wonders"!

"This is the famous "Golden Bridge Picture"!" Liang Sicheng almost bit his tongue.

Any qualified calligraphy and painting appraiser, regardless of his or her eyesight, must keep in mind the various generations of history, their masterpieces, and the characteristics of calligraphy and painting in detail. This is also an essential quality for becoming a qualified calligraphy and painting appraiser.

Therefore, both Liu Dong and Liang Sicheng have heard of the name "Golden Bridge Picture" even though they have never seen it.

In 725 AD (the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sealed Mount Tai in the east, and Wu Daozi accompanied him there. Afterwards, he walked to Luzhou (today's Shanxi Changzhi), drove across the Jinqiao, and the imperial road was "twisting and twisting."

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was very excited when he saw that "the flags were fresh and clean and the guards were neat and tidy" for thousands of miles. He said to his attendants: "Zhang Shuoyan's command of 300,000 troops, banners for thousands of miles, Shanxi Youshangdang, as for Taiyuan." , a true talent." Everyone on the left and right shouted long live. So he summoned Wu Daozi, Wei Wuyi, Chen Hong and others, and ordered the three of them to draw the "Golden Bridge Picture" together.

Chen Hong mainly painted the true appearance of Xuanzong and the white horse he rode on, and Wei Wucheng mainly painted dogs, horses, mules, donkeys, cattle, sheep and other animals, as well as bridges, landscapes, carriages, figures, grass and trees, wild geese, weapons, and curtains. Other thematic parts were painted by Wu Daozi.

After the "Golden Bridge Picture" was painted, it was "called the Three Wonders at that time".

Wu Daozi, a generation of ‘Painting Saint’, everyone knows about him!

Although not many people know Wei Wuxian in modern times, he was also a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Wuhu was famous for his ability to paint horses and strange beasts. At that time, he praised Wei Wuhu's paintings and said: 'There are no bad four-legged animals painted by Wei Wuhu.'

Wei Wucheng once painted a lion donated by foreigners, which was very similar to his own. All animals were frightened when they saw the lion in the painting.

People at that time said that one could identify its temperament with just one stroke, and one could know its name by just drawing one of its manes. The ancients could not do this. Only Wei Wuyi could achieve such a high level. Achievements.

There are also many descriptions of Wei Wuxian's paintings in the "Song of the Song Dynasty" "Xuanhe Painting Book" Chapter on Animals.

Chen Hong is also a master of traditional Chinese painting no less than Wei Wuxian. He is good at painting portraits, figures, portraits, and pommel horses. His portraits of emperors are praised as "the best in contemporary times". At that time, he was second only to Wu Daozi, who was equally famous in the early Tang Dynasty. Everyone, Yan Liben!

However, the only authentic work of Chen Hong that has been handed down in modern times is "Eight Gong Pictures", which is now in the Nelson Museum of Art in the United States. It depicts the portraits of 8 people including Sun Song, the eldest son of Nanping Duke in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Xi Jin, the Marquis of Shanyang. Today, only 6 of them are still alive. Standing parallel.

However, there is still controversy as to whether the painting is authentic by Chen Hong.

However, with Liu Dong's "Golden Bridge Picture" and comparing it with Chen Hong's original painting, we can definitely provide strong evidence for the authenticity of "Eight Gong Picture"!

Because "Golden Bridge Picture" was too long, Liu Dong had to put it on the bed. However, before it was half unfolded, the bed was not long enough. In the end, the two of them could only read and scroll at the same time. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature. , the novel is better and updated faster!
