After roughly reading the content of the painting, Wu Duo began to take a closer look at the inscription and seal.

You have to get a general idea first, and then stick your finger to listen to the sound.

On this painting, there is only the author's signature and seal, and there is no collection title or seal.

"Jiajing has been ugly in July, visiting friends did not meet, and on the way back, he passed through the green mountains and green waters, and suddenly met each other. Hengshan monks. ”

There are two seals below, both of which are white text square seals, one side is "Wen Zhengming", and the other side is "Wuyan Room Seal".

Wen Zhengming's painting ······

Wen Zhengming actually entered the calligraphy and painting industry relatively late, but later became very famous, and he is a typical representative of a late bloomer.

Why is it too late? It is said that the "young are not wise" and will not speak until they are ten years old, which is too abnormal to be truly certain. However, it is estimated that his record of participating in the imperial examination cannot be faked, and he failed to pass the examination ten times! It was not until he was over half a hundred years old that he "recommended the examination officials with the annual tribute students and awarded the edict of the Hanlin Academy."

He was not an official material, and after staying for three years, he left Beijing and returned to his hometown, and since then he has been obsessed with painting and calligraphy creation and preaching.

There are many of his paintings, flowers, birds, figures, and landscapes, but the highest achievement is still landscapes.

When Wen Zhengming became famous, it was also the heyday of the Wumen School.

Wumen is Suzhou. To what extent did the Wumen School of Painting go up? The so-called "Four Families of the Ming Dynasty": Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin, and Qiu Ying are the "Four Families of the Wu Sect."

The founder of the Wumen School of Painting was Shen Zhou, and Shen Zhou was also the teacher of Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, and after Shen Zhou, the core figure of the Wumen School became Wen Zhengming.

This painting, if it is Wen Zhengming's authentic work, it is not difficult to auction more than 10 million of such a size.

What Wu Duo can see clearly is only on the surface. In the end, you still have to rely on "listening"!

It's okay, there is a sound······

Jiajing Jichou is the eighth year of Jiajing, that is, 1529, that year, it is still the year of Wen Zhengming's 60th birthday (imaginary age, in fact, 59 years old and 60th birthday).

It was the right vintage, and the feedback was specific.

Wait a minute!

How can it be so complicated?!

This ······

Wu Duo heard a lot of details, but in this way, is this painting genuine or a fake?

The landscapes in the painting were painted by Wen Jia, the mountains, forests and trees were painted by Chen Chun, the pavilions and flying pavilions were painted by Lu Shidao, and the figures were painted by Zhu Lang.

Only the signature and the seal came by Wen Zhengming himself!

It's a hodgepodge!

It is necessary to sort out the relationship between the characters.

Wen Jia is Wen Zhengming's second son, Chen Chun, Lu Shidao, and Zhu Lang are all students of Wen Zhengming.

This, could it be that when Wen Zhengming celebrated his birthday, Wen Zhengming mentioned the matter of visiting friends in July, and then a group of people collaborated on a painting?

It's not impossible.

The reason and time may not be longevity, but these people should be together.

Wen Zhengming's calligraphy and painting art has been inherited endlessly, and in addition to his sons and nephews, there are many disciples who directly inherit his style, forming a huge team of painters.

The world called Wen Zhengming the "alliance leader" of the Wu faction.

And Wen Zhengming lived to be ninety years old, which is definitely at the birthday level, and he has been sitting in the position of the leader of the alliance for a long time.

Among the hand-me-down paintings of the Lord of the Wen League, there are a large number of descendants and protégés who wrote them during their lifetime, which is an indisputable historical fact.

Even, some disciples were instructed by Wen Zhengming to ghostwrite at first, but later, they simply ghostwrote Wen Zhengming's paintings privately to make money.

For example, Zhu Lang's paintings imitating Wen Zhengming later had "gold-lettered signboards"; some people simply spent money directly to find him and come up with a "Wen Zhengming", which could also be hung at home as a façade.

It is impossible for Wen Zhengming not to know about his disciple's "private imitation", but he is a very "kind" person who treats this kind of thing.

To what extent?

There was once a foreign merchant who came to Suzhou and asked the child to go to Zhu Lang's house to buy a painting imitating Wen Zhengming. As a result, this little boy was not familiar with the place, and Wen Zhengming's house and Zhu Lang's house were not far away, so he went to the wrong place and went directly to Wen Zhengming's house.

Wen Zhengming happened to be at home, and he also met Xiao Tong, who mistook it for Zhu Lang and said that my master wanted to pay for a painting that imitated Wen Zhengming.

As a result, Wen Zhengming collected the money and painted, and asked the child: I painted the real Hengshan, and I talked about being a fake Zilang, but what?

Wen Zhengming's name is Hengshan, and Zhu Lang's character is Lang.

You want a painting of Zhu Lang imitating Wen Zhengming, but I am Wen Zhengming, and I will paint you a real one, and you will be Zhu Lang's imitation, okay?

Wu Duo has also heard this story, but it may not be true.

However, Wen Zhengming's ability to sit in the position of the leader of the Wu faction for a long time and be widely respected is by no means something that can be achieved by relying only on the level of calligraphy and painting.

After Wu Duo finished "listening" to the painting, he didn't know how to express it for a while.

"Xiao Wu, why is this painting placed in Daya Zhai? Because I have found many people to see it, but there are different opinions and great controversy. So I've put it here so that when the master comes, I can take it out and appreciate it!"

Zhang Chengjin saw that Wu Duo should have finished reading, so he opened his mouth. He directly explained the reason.

"Elder Zhang, you can lift me up, what kind of master am I? I'm just following you to appreciate a masterpiece. ”

Wu Duo thought to himself as he spoke, this ghostwriter of the same dynasty is different from any other high-level imitation, these ghostwriters are all people with great skills who have won the true transmission of Wen Zhengming.

And to this day, the year is fine, the paper and ink are fine.

The key is that the inscription and the seal are still really "Wen Zhengming".

"You're welcome, I've been watching it for a long time, and I'd love to hear your opinion!"

"Zhang Lao, what I know about calligraphy and painting is fur. Wu Duo paused, and he couldn't stop saying anything, "But this painting, I think it can at least reach the generation." ”

"Well, those who disagree also say that it is an imitation of the Ming Dynasty, and no one thinks that it is an imitation of modern times. Zhang Lao nodded.

Wu Duo smiled and did not speak again.

Hu Yunde saw that Zhang Lao did not immediately speak, "Mr. Xiao Wu, don't be modest, if you don't understand, how can you consult for so long? And I see that you still touch it with your hand, feeling the rice paper and pen and ink! If you can point out this painting, it must be someone who understands calligraphy and painting! This painting was originally received by me, if you can afford to look up to me Hu someone······

Wu Duo knew that he was agitating, "Mr. Hu, when have you ever seen a hairy boy like me who knows calligraphy and painting?"

Zhang Chengjin answered, "But we haven't seen a young man in his twenties who can distinguish Yuan Qinghua so clearly?"

After Zhang Lao finished speaking, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other a few times, and in the end, they all laughed.

"Elder Zhang, then I'll have the courage to say a few more words, but I mainly rely on feelings, and there is no basis for identification. Wu Duo took a preventive shot first.
