Chapter 129 Nanli, Who is it?
"Who is this Mr. Nanli? I have never heard of such a miraculous skill. ”
The old man in Tang costume spoke again, with seven points of amazement, two points of regret, and one point of regret on his face.
At this time, someone recognized the identity of the old man in Tang costume and said:
"Aren't you Mr. Kong Wenhai, the old dean of Confucius Academy, the 63rd generation of Confucius?"
The old man in Tang costume nodded with a smile.
Seeing the old man's acquiescence, the people around him immediately boiled, which of the people gathered here is not a lover of calligraphy and painting, Mr. Kong Wenhai, that is the great Confucian of the world, the previous president of the Confucius Academy!
He is not only proficient in Chinese studies, but also has studied calligraphy and painting for half his life, and his research on calligraphy and painting is absolutely an authority at home and abroad.
When he retired ten years ago, he donated more than 100 pieces of his precious collection to the country over the past decades, of which more than 40 works have been worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
He is indifferent to fame and fortune, broad-minded, so that everyone in the calligraphy and painting circles admire, how can I not be surprised to meet Mr. Kong here today?
"Mr. Kong, why do you say that this work is the work of the ancients and not the work of the present people?" asked a young man cautiously in the student ceremony.
The others also quieted down instantly, looking at Kong Wenhai with blank eyes, waiting for him to solve their doubts.
Kong Wenhai didn't pay attention to the looks of others, but walked to the front of the scroll, carefully observed, and said:
"The ingenuity of the brush in this painting and calligraphy is really incredible, I don't know what kind of person can achieve this level of control and delicacy of brush and ink!"
The more he looked, the more shocked he became:
"The force with which the brush touches the paper varies, and each line is made up of many tiny stitches, with tiny intervals in between, and the control of the ink, giving the painting a strong sense of concave and convex, that is, realism.
The most important artistic conception of painting is even stronger, combined with the lyrics, I believe that even people who do not know how to paint can feel the elegance in the painting, and the person who can paint such an artistic conception is definitely not inferior to any famous artist throughout the ages. ”
When the people around heard the last comment, they were in an uproar.
After a pause, Kong Wenhai continued:
Looking at this character again, the highest state of the word is to engrave people with words. To engrave people with words is to be able to completely dissolve yourself into the words, so that others can see your words and know what kind of person you are.
Therefore, people who can become a generation of calligraphy masters have never inherited the calligraphy of their predecessors, but have different calligraphy from their predecessors, because everyone's personality is different, and the artistic conception contained in the words is also different. ”
Speaking of this, Kong Wenhai squinted slightly, and his eyes showed a yearning look:
Looking at this font again, arrogance and freehand are reflected in the word, so that all people can feel the arrogance in their hearts, as well as the indifference to everything. If such a person can meet, it is really in vain. ”
"Old Kong, you haven't answered why this painting and calligraphy is not the work of today? Could it be that you know the life of this 'Nanli' master?"
Hearing this, Kong Wenhai shook his head and sighed heavily:
"The author of this painting has the style of a madman from the Wei and Jin dynasties, how can such a level be practiced overnight!
I, Kong Wenhai, visited the world's famous calligraphers and painters, and I have treasured them today, including all dynasties, but I have never heard of this painting!
So it can only be a famous unique piece that has been omitted in history, as for who this Nanli is, I still need to do more research, I think this may be a great historical discovery. ”
After a pause, he looked at the painting again, his eyes shining brightly, as if muttering to himself:
"If this painting is the work of this person, I will immediately kneel three times and bow nine times, and worship him as a teacher. ”
Hearing this, the others gasped and looked at the two works with shocked eyes again.
"Look! Professor Tang Rushan is here, and the people next to him are all big names in the calligraphy and painting world. ”
As a well-known professor at Kyunghoku University and an expert advisor to the Kyoto Museum, Tang Rushan naturally knows many people.
Tang Rushan walked over quickly, looked at Kong Wenhai, and saluted slightly:
"Mr. Kong, why don't you come to say hello? ”
According to age, Kong Wenhai is similar to Tang Rushan, but Tang Rushan is an academic authority, while Kong Wenhai is an absolute authority in the field of calligraphy and painting.
At the same time, his contribution to the calligraphy and painting industry of Dahua is also admired by everyone, and his personality is even more honest and selfless, so he has won the respect of everyone.
Of course, Kong Wenhai is the descendant of the master, and all the scholars in the world are half of the master's disciples.
Kong Wenhai saw Tang Rushan and said politely:
"Professor Tang is polite, I am now an idler, leisurely and comfortable, come to Kyoto to visit places of interest, chase the footsteps of the sages, nostalgic for the past, but I didn't expect to catch up with this calligraphy and painting exhibition, and see such a stunning work, it is really a great blessing in life!"
Both of them are the world's Hongru, Taishan Beidou, although they do not have a deep relationship, but they have long admired each other.
After chatting a few words, Kong Wenhai said:
"This painting was brought to exhibition by Donald, right?"
In addition to the collection taken out by the museum, the contact information of the collector is generally marked under the rest of the exhibition works, which is designed to facilitate mutual communication, and also provides contact information for people who want to buy and sell the works, and the contact person under this work is Tang Rushan.
Tang Rushan nodded, his expression was upright, and he said proudly: "This work was made by a friend of mine." ”
Kong Wenhai's hand trembled, trembled, and shouted:
"What do you say? This work was made by your friend? I wonder where this gentleman is? The junior must visit! No, I wonder if this gentleman is still willing to take in apprentices?"
The people around listened to it and suddenly exploded, most of the painting methods of ancient paintings have been lost, and many modern people paint ancient paintings using the skills of painting modern paintings, so in today's modern times, it is difficult to produce that kind of shocking master.
At this time, how could they not be shocked to hear that this amazing work was actually painted by today's people?
I didn't expect that the society could still cultivate such a grandmaster and giant now, how could it not be shocking,
For a while, the exhibition hall, which should have been quiet, became noisy.
Tang Rushan nodded, thought about it, and said with a wry smile:
"This ...... My friend is a little arrogant, and this work has just been completed by him, and I have borrowed it for a period of time to exhibit it, hoping to open up a new learning path for friends in the calligraphy and painting world. ”
After a pause, Tang Rushan said again:
"My friend is very different from what everyone thinks, a little young ......"
Kong Wenhai shook his head again and again, and directly interrupted Tang Rushan's words:
"Old Tang, you are a little stubborn in what you say, the way of calligraphy and painting, the master is the teacher, even if you are younger, what does it matter. ”
