For more than a hundred years, people have believed that this masterpiece "Reclining Tour of Xiaoxiang" was destroyed in a sea of fire, but unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of Liu Jianhua.
This famous painting is ink and ink on paper, with a height of 30 centimeters and a width of an astonishing four meters. It is the pinnacle work of Master Li Gonglin, the first painter of the Song Dynasty.
The entire painting uses light ink as the main tone, with a broad artistic conception and wide openings and closings.
The use of ink shades successfully expresses the subtle light and shade of the atmosphere.
The painting depicts the vast Xiaoxiang landscape, depicts fishing boats and villages with delicate brushwork, and depicts trees with elegant brushwork.
It is majestic and lifelike.
The inscription indicates that it was painted for the Zen monk Yun Gu.
According to legend, after traveling around the world, Zen Master Yungu in the Southern Song Dynasty lived in seclusion in Jindou Mountain in Wuxing, Zhejiang.
The biggest regret of Zen Master Yungu’s life is that he has not yet set foot in the Xiaoxiang landscape.
So he invited Li Gonglin to paint the beautiful scenery of Xiaoxiang for him. He hung the painting in his room and could enjoy the beautiful scenery while lying on the bed, so he called it "Xiaoxiang Sleeping Tour".
Li Gonglin's characteristics are that his lines are strong and straight but have different thicknesses and shades, his composition is solid and elegant yet flexible and natural, and his paintings are simple and concise, but full of variety.
The subject matter covers a wide range of people, pommel horses, landscapes, flowers and birds. It has both a sense of reality and a literati touch, and all the works are done without coloring. He is known as the "master of line drawing."
His works are regarded as treasures passed down from generation to generation by famous artists of later generations.
This painting is profound and has clear layers.
Kaibai is Qianlong's imperial inscription: Qi swallows the clouds and dreams.
There are also inscriptions and postscripts by several famous writers in the blank space.
Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty wrote a postscript on the first volume: There are four famous volumes in the collection of Gu Zhongshe on the sea, namely Gu Kaizhi's "Nv Shi Zhi", Li Boshi's "Shu River Picture", "Nine Songs Picture", and this "Xiaoxiang Picture".
"The History of Women" is in Li Xiang's family, "Nine Songs" is in Yu's family, "The Picture of Xiaoxiang" is in Chen Zi, who was involved in politics, and the "Picture of Shujiang" is in the family of General Wang Siyan in Xinyang, all of which are strange.
Dong Qichang's view of the same title.
Emperor Qianlong's Imperial Inscription 1: The mist and rain of Xiaoxiang are the beautiful scenery of the Three Chus. Every time I read Su Shi's poem about the late scenery of Xiaoxiang in retro Song Dynasty, I often feel fascinated and regret not to see it. Now I see the picture of Long Mian, and I don’t know which one is A and B. Showing it again and again, you can see the clouds, mountains and rivers, it’s like lying down and swimming.
There are four famous volumes of Dong's postscript for the Gu family. Now they are scattered and combined, just like what happened in Fengcheng!
Qianlong's Imperial Knowledge.
Emperor Qianlong's second inscription: Suppose you don't look at the picture, Xiao and Xiang are conveyed in the air, two rainbows rush to the gorge to merge, one practices drinking for a long time, Dong Ji's original test can be verified.
Su Shi is forgettable, Xuan Huang is happy.
It can be seen in the vast sky, as if beside the pine rock, the branches are still angry and wild, the portrait is Yi Ying alone, and the rhyme is good and difficult for me.
The fishing village of Chuanming is quiet, and the city of Haihai is quiet.
Zen and total chatter.
Why don't you look at it without saying anything, Baling is the color of smoke and trees.
The sunset is as bright as the sky. I was sent from afar to Sanshu. I sailed down to the five rivers and lay there sweating. God relieved me of my hooves.
Gathering and dispersing for thousands of years, floating in the clouds to the west of the Xiangshui River. The inscription of the Five Emperors of the Xia Dynasty by Bingyin of Qianlong is based on Su Dongpo's vintage painting of the Xiaoyu evening scene.
Postscript 1 of Ge Tan's running script in the Southern Song Dynasty: Zen Master Guizhu and a monk went to the state to see the peony pattern. The monk said: What a peony flower.
The master said: It's a pity that after promising a flower, someone presented a painting scroll and Fayan. Zen Master said: "You have a skillful hand and a skillful mind. If you say the heart is skillful, then that is your heart."
This old man claimed that the true origin of his speech was to vent his anger on the Buddha.
However, if a person walks along a grass road, he will encounter towering thorns; if a person sails a boat along the current, he will not feel the waves coming over him.
Zheng is like the old man Yuanzhao, without many notes.
There is a scroll of painting that can be criticized by everyone. When Xinzhai comes here, he can't help but talk a lot. Just like Luo Gongyang combing his hair.
The old man Yuanzhao is full of mulberry leaves and has a correct view. He uses iron to make dough, but he also has to cry for Yu Yi. On the eleventh day of Gengyin, the main road, Ge Tanba, a layman from Xinzhai.
Zhang Guimo's running script postscript of the Southern Song Dynasty: Yun Gu Lao Chan showed the "Xiaoxiang Picture" to Zhu Zhai and asked for a postscript titled "Xiaoxiang Picture", which is like an idiot talking about a dream.

Song Zhangshen's postscript in running script: Teacher Yungu visited Daofang at a young age and traveled all over the mountains in the east and west of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and found a mysterious and mysterious view.
There are more than a dozen inscriptions and postscripts by famous writers before and after, with a word count of more than 2,000. I will not go into details here.
"Traveling to Xiaoxiang" itself is Li Gonglin's pinnacle work, and with these praises and inscriptions, it becomes even more impressive.
Coupled with the interesting history of the Manchu and Qing dynasties, it is no exaggeration to say that this painting is a legend.
What makes Lu Fei puzzled is why Liu Jianhua didn't use this painting at the treasure fighting conference.
The value of this painting is far higher than that of "Ten Dragons".
If Liu Jianhua used this painting, he would never be able to resist.
Xu Maochen guessed that the goal of this painting was too huge and Liu Jianhua did not dare to show it to others.
Or, it’s unclear whether there are any unavoidable reasons for this. ??
However, that doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that now this legendary painting "Xiaoxiang Reclining Tour" is Lu Fei's trophy.
And it is the only treasure so far that can be collected openly.
This was enough to make Lu Fei excited.
The two brothers read each word carefully, and it wasn't until the little dog called to report that they finally came back to their senses.
Little Dog reported that Liu Peiwen was picked up by a power leader in Baodao and handed over to people from Baodao Christie's in Beishangen.
With the goal achieved, Lu Fei ordered the team to close.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Maochen asked.
"Brother, are you so willing to take advantage of Liu Peiwen?"
Lu Fei smiled and said.
"Second brother, don't worry. If Liu Peiwen falls into their hands, it means life is worse than death."
"Even if Christie's lets him go, it's impossible for other creditors to let him go."
Xu Maochen handed Lu Fei a cigarette and said.
"Brother, please fish out the second brother. The second brother will be very grateful." "But I can't eat for free!"
"If things continue like this, how can you be embarrassed by your second brother?"
"Look, how about you find something for my second brother to do."
"As long as I can help you, it doesn't matter what kind of work I do."
"Second brother is joking. We are brothers. It's my duty to take care of you, and you can just be responsible for enjoying yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"I am only forty-three this year. It is my prime year and I am still far from enjoying happiness."
"I'm telling you, I'm not kidding you. You have to arrange something for me to do."
"If I'm left to eat and wait for death, I might as well go back to Fengtian and resign myself to my fate." Xu Maochen said.
"Second brother, why are you doing this?"
"Absolutely no one gossips here." Lu Fei said.
"It's not what others say, I can't stand it myself."
"Second brother is an open-minded person, so I won't hide it."
"You know the details of my second brother. I also have an idea of what's going on with you."
"You have helped me so much, my second brother's life belongs to you."
"Everything that happens to you, even if it involves going up a mountain of swords or going down into a sea of fire, if my second brother frowns, I will be struck by thunder."
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
"Do we brothers need to be like this?"
"I'm serious." Xu Maochen said.
Lu Fei thought for a while and said.
"Let's do this. I know what my second brother is capable of. If you don't mind it, how about you become a general manager for me?"
"You can help me with some ideas that I can't think of."
"Second brother, please take care of the areas that I can't take care of."
"From now on, we brothers will work together as one, and we will share blessings and hardships together!"
