The loss of these works is the greatest regret of Mr. Xu's life.

When the Japanese army invaded Xinjiapo in 1941, Mr. Xu entrusted hundreds of works he painted in Xinjiapo, Ma and Yin, as well as other antiques and rare books, to his friends and buried them in a dry well in Chongwen School in Xinjiapo, among which Mr. Xu himself considered 40 most precious oil paintings. Later, Mr. Xu left Xinjiapo with 1,000 works on the last steamer bound for India before the fall.

This time is the separation of human paintings, and the owner of the oil paintings did not expect that he would lose these treasures forever.

Until now, only a few of the 40 oil paintings in the lost works have been reported again.

Xiao Yao actually found three of the oil paintings in this secret room at one time, which was indeed a great surprise.

In the other grids of the first row of Bogu shelves, there are also works by Bada Shanren, Zhang Daqian, Sanyu, Huang Binhong and others.

But there are no too precious works in these works, most of them are some common ordinary works.

In the last compartment of the first row of Bogu shelves, only one work is stored.

Xiao Yao opened it casually and watched, and to his surprise, this turned out to be "The Drunken Return of the Five Kings"!

It's no wonder that this work occupies a grid alone, this work can be called a national treasure, and it is indeed worth occupying a grid.

Although he was pleasantly surprised, it was not genuine, and he had to carefully identify it.

He first looked at the seal of the seal, the seal: Ren's Ziming, Yueshan Daoren.

Chen Jiru inscription: Emperor Wen of the Tang Dynasty carved six horses in Zhaoling, so the descendants of the horse fetish, Daizong has nine flowers, Dezong has the wisdom of the gods, wishful thinking. Decorated with gold, controlled with a purple jade whip, and a product of material. Therefore, its picture is spread in the world, and the song is endless. This volume of Tang pen, the inscription cut has gone, fortunately Ma Shanger is safe, Wuxi Wang Lin Guo Mr. Shizang, his grandson Fuzhou Shouman Xun Gong can always protect it, ring back to play, the posture is hairy, the so-called writing of the shape of the worn, not in the water, the shape of the shift, out of the sky. It must have been made by Cao Ba, that is, the Gonglin generation failed to compete with it. Chen Jiru in the clouds is inscribed in the stubborn immortal house.

There is also Wang Yongji's inscription: This volume is inscribed by Mr. Meigong, and I believe that the wonder of his penmanship is not done by the modern Danqing family. Duyun: From the hands of the Tang Dynasty, there is no confirmation, the second seal of the tail of the test, the first son of the family, and the people of the mountain road in January. In his spare time, he occasionally read Li Jiu's suspicion of purple Taoxuan, and he knew that he was the water supervisor of the Yuan people. According to the miscellaneous clouds: Yuan Ren Renfa, Ziming, No. Yueshan, Qinglong Town, the world residence in Songjiang, the eighteenth year of the middle of the second trial, the water supervisor, open the river and set the sluice, where the water is discussed, the benevolence of the master. Good at painting things, try to be ordered to enter the painting of the heavenly horse. He is the author of ten volumes of water conservancy books. Today, people are called water supervisors, and they paint horses to cover the clouds with art. However, he was very famous for painting horses, and Mei Gong did not have time to check it in detail, because it was attached here. Chongzhen Renshen (1632) February 7th, the owner of the Rimchuan Pavilion.

Look at the Tibetan seals again: Shangbin (half seal), neutral (half seal), Li (half seal), Zhongxin Kejiu'an (half seal), Hui Acacia (half seal), can view (half seal), descendants (half seal), Jiaolin Yuli Books, Guanqi Daluo, Tang Estate Approval, Hebei Tangcun, Anding, Jiaolin Secret Play, Cangyan, Cangyanzi, Geng Zhao Zhongxin Gong's word in Liang alias Changbai Mountain Long Collection Calligraphy and Painting Imprint, Xin Gong Appraisal Collection (three times), Ban Gu Xuan calligraphy and painting seal, Qianlong Imperial Treasure, Qianlong Appreciation, Shiqu Treasure, Sanxitang Jingjian Seal, Yi Sun Zi, Ganqing Palace Treasure Collection, Shiqu Dingjian, Treasure Recompilation, Jiaqing Imperial Treasure, Xuantong Imperial Treasure, Xuantong Appreciation, Wuyi Zhai Jing Seal, Hou Shitai Collection, Tianmu Mountain People, Zun Gutang True Reward, Jinghong Pavilion.

After reading these carefully, it can be confirmed that this is indeed the authentic work of "The Drunken Return of the Five Kings".

"Five Kings Drunk Return" is a work of the Song Dynasty, and collectors since the end of the Ming Dynasty know very well: Zhu Shangbin, Wang Linguo, Wang Yongji, Liang Qingbiao, Geng Zhaozhong, Geng Jiazuo (according to the research of Banguxuan's calligraphy and painting seal is his Tibetan seal), Qianlong, Jiaqing, Puyi.

Among these collectors, especially Liang Qingbiao and Geng Zhaozhong, they were recognized as the best collectors in the early Qing Dynasty.

The end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty was a real flourishing period in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy collection, which truly realized the diversification and popularization of collectors, so that the collection of calligraphy and painting showed signs of unusual openness and integration, from the war in the late Ming Dynasty The calligraphy and paintings of the treasury were scattered among the people, so that some private collectors such as bureaucrats, literati, and businessmen could have the opportunity to have public collections of paintings and calligraphy.

After the rebellion of the three feudatories, the issue of "cultural governance" was taken seriously by Kangxi, and he ordered some social connoisseurs or court nobles with special identities to participate in sorting out the classics of the inner government, identifying the paintings and calligraphy collected in the palace, and constantly acquiring the scattered national treasures of the people, among which Geng Zhaozhong, Xiong Cixu, Gao Shiqi, and Anqi were the most representative, so that the collection in the early Qing Dynasty presented the characteristics of the collection from private to public again in history.

The Drunken Return of the Five Kings is an example of what went from Geng Zhaozhong to the public collection of the Qing Dynasty. The Continuation of the Treasure of the Stone Canal and the fourth volume of Ruan Yuan's Essays on the Stone Canal are both recorded in this painting.

The seal of the Qing Palace's collection seal of the "Five Kings Drunken Return Map" is the "Qianlong Eight Seals" of the "Shiqu Baoji Continuation", and the position of the seal is completely in line with the specifications. The "Treasures of the Ganqing Palace" in the volume is also consistent with the collection point recorded in the "Shiqu Treasures".

Xiao Yao didn't expect to be able to see this national treasure painting from the Song Dynasty that was rumored to have been lost in this secret room.

When the Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Manchu government in 1911, Pu Yi, who was still living in the Forbidden City, had a premonition that he would not be living in this huge palace for too long, so he arranged a way back for himself.

One day, a few people came to the place where the calligraphy and paintings were stored and began to look through the calligraphy and paintings. They were sent by Pu Yi to select some valuable calligraphy and paintings. These people selected a total of 1,200 calligraphy and paintings, and on each calligraphy and painting, they were stamped with the word "Xuantong".

During the 12th to 14th years of the Republic of China, these paintings and calligraphy were privately taken out of the Forbidden City by Pu Yi in the name of rewarding Pu Jie.

In 1945, after the collapse of Manchukuo, from Xiaobailou, this batch of old Qing palace paintings and calligraphy was dispersed, which was called "Northeast goods".

During the Republic of China, the "Catalogue of Books and Paintings of the Forbidden City" published clearly recorded: On November 4, 1922, the 14th year of Xuantong (1922), this volume was rewarded to Pu Jie.

This national treasure-level work, which was lost by Pu Yi, appeared in this secret room and was able to see the light of day, but it is worth a surprise.

It is rare to see a national treasure-level painting, and Xiao Yao appreciates it very carefully.
