The general information of "Treading Snow Map", Populus euphratica has already told everyone, even in history, it is a legendary painting, which only exists in the record, as if no one has seen it.

At the beginning, Brother Hu went to see it with the mentality of trying his luck.

Although it was found that it was not the authentic work of Zhan Ziqian, he still bought it for 200,000 yuan. In everyone's memory, this is the first time that Brother Hu has used so much money to buy an item.

So, this painting should be quite precious, right?

Everyone speculated that in the end, Ms. Fang's judgment might be true. Although this work is an imitation, it is highly likely the work of Fan Kuan, a landscape painter of the Song Dynasty.

"I'll take another look. Shen Lao leaned over and took out his magnifying glass.

This kind of ancient painting is actually easy to make mistakes with the naked eye alone, and today's counterfeiting technology is so subtle that even a magnifying glass may not be able to find a flaw.

Old Man Fei pursed his lips and thought to himself: What are you doing to make a scene? What level are you, don't you have any points in your heart? What can you see?

However, it's not good to slap him in the face and tear him down in front of so many juniors.

Shen Lao said while looking at it: "I heard that Fan Kuan is good at painting snow, which is one of his great creations, and it is not impossible to say that this "Snow Walking Picture" is his antique work. ”

"In fact, Fan Kuan is better at painting mountains. ”

Hu Yang said with a smile and told everyone that Fan Kuan's "mountain" is known as "painting mountains and bones and painting souls". The lofty mountains and mountains painted often highlight the majestic and magnificent momentum with the chapter method of standing on the top of the sky, and the foothills are painted with dense forests.

He looked at the ancient painting and pointed: "Look here, there are traces of raindrops." This kind of painting method is Fan Kuan's forte. ”

Shen Lao doesn't know much about raindrops, but he has heard this term, and it is said to be a painting technique of landscape painting.

"What is the rain?" Andy has always been so positive about things and problems.

"The so-called raindrops, called Douban, are short strokes in the shape of long dots, which are often drawn with a side forward in the center.

It can express the vigor and heaviness of the rocks. A successful example of the use of rain ponchos in the history of painting is Fan Kuan of the Northern Song Dynasty, whose technique is known as the 'gun brush'.

It may be that it was this kind of trace that the lady fought with me before. Hu Yang explained.

Of course, not everyone appreciates this kind of painting. For example, the famous calligrapher Mi Fu of the Song Dynasty felt that this kind of painting was easy to lead to too thick ink, resulting in stone and soil are not distinguishable.

The people in the live broadcast room suddenly laughed and screamed: Brother Hu, didn't you rob with others? Why did it become someone fighting with you? Obviously, the eldest sister took a fancy to it first.

"So, this is Fan Kuan's real handiwork?" Feige asked.

Xiao Li and the others all looked at Hu Yang, subconsciously ignoring Shen Lao, who was being identified, and didn't seem to be optimistic about his ability.

Hu Yang nodded, then shook his head again.

"What do you mean?"

Hu Yang said: "First of all, the one we see now is indeed Fan Kuan's ......."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Lao found a problem and interrupted: "No, there is a problem! Look here, there are faint traces of writing, and you can only see a little bit with a magnifying glass, little brother Hu, you can take a look." ”

After speaking, he also gave his magnifying glass to Populus euphratica.

Hu Yang didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I also noticed it there." I think that's why this painting was identified as a fake. ”

As long as they find a flaw that they think is a flaw, they feel that the thing is fake, and they do not continue to study in depth, thinking that there is no such necessity.

"We might as well take a look at the paper first, Shen Lao should also find that this is Chengxintang paper, the best paper in the Song Dynasty, and most of the famous calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty use this kind of paper. ”

In fact, this kind of paper was not created in the Song Dynasty, but has been created in the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and is known for its skin and eggs like membranes, as clean as jade, and thin and smooth, and is deeply loved by the monarchs of the Southern Tang Dynasty at that time.

Shen Lao's face turned red, he really didn't study the ancient paper, so he couldn't see anything. It's just that I admire this young man very much.

The identification of paper is a big problem for many people, and it is not easy to start.

Some people may ask, will Chengxintang paper not be imitated by later generations? Yes, there is! And until the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong was still ordering people to imitate this kind of famous paper. However, there are differences in the materials used to make paper in each era.

For example, the three dynasties of the Jin, Tang and Song dynasties with calligraphy and painting paper, the Jin Dynasty used hemp paper for the vast majority, although the Tang Dynasty also used, but the technology is more superb, the quality of the paper is better, more refined, to the Song Dynasty, the leather paper gradually replaced ......" Hu Yang to everyone to analyze.

After analyzing the age of the paper, Populus euphratica was identified from the seal.

The appraisal of ancient paintings and calligraphy is a specialized discipline. Generally speaking, the main basis for the appraisal of calligraphy and painting is the style of the era and the personal style of the calligrapher and painter. The auxiliary basis is the seals, inscriptions, and collection seals on the calligraphy and paintings, as well as the paper silks, descriptions, and decorations of various eras.

"Let's look at the seal, this Fan Kuan's private seal just falls on this literal, which can prevent counterfeiting to a large extent. Even with modern science and technology, it is very difficult to make copies of the overlapping parts of the characters and prints. ”

This is also why, when making a contract, many people like to put their seal on the signature.

There are also two collection seals on the painting, indicating that the painting was once collected by at least two collectors. Put your own stamp on it, and it feels like "visiting here".

At this point, Qianlong is one of the seal maniacs, as long as it is a work he likes, he will put his own seal on it, sometimes not even one or two.

For example, in the "Spring Tour" we mentioned earlier, Qianlong built a lot of it in frenzy, filling almost all the blank spaces in the picture, making the scalps of later generations of researchers numb.

Fortunately, this person is still a bit of a public morality, and he didn't cover the collection seal on the screen, otherwise everyone would have to greet Qianlong and his mother.

"The Imperial Sister's Book, who is this?Person's name?" After looking at it for a while, Fei Qi recognized one of the characters in the collection.

"The first female collector in the history of our country, the eldest princess of the Yuan Dynasty. This is not a person's name, the imperial sister is the meaning of the imperial sister, and the meaning of the seal is the calligraphy and painting of the imperial sister. This eldest princess, her real name is Xiang Ge Raji. Hu Yang replied.

The female audience in the live broadcast room suddenly shouted 666.

"That's the name, it's really ...... Well, unique!" Fitch was surprised.

When you hear the name, who would have thought that it is a woman? How can you look at it as a boy's name! However, when you think of the naming style of the Mongolian brothers, you will not delve into it.

The eldest princess has a strong interest in calligraphy and painting, and is very good at collecting, and asked someone to inscribe and record the calligraphy and paintings in her collection. There is proof of her collection seal, basically it will not be fake. Hu Yang said.

The eldest princess's calligraphy and paintings can be identified from the two seals of the eldest princess, "Imperial Sister Books" and "Imperial Sister Treasures". Of course, seals can also be forged, which requires careful identification, comparison, and determination of authenticity.

Hu Yang heard that the two seals of the eldest princess have the same style and size, and the font is seal, which may be from the same handwriting.

Among the princess's two seals, the more commonly used is the "Imperial Sister Book", which is slightly wider at the top and narrow at the bottom, almost square, as you can see now.

Another "Imperial Sister Treasure" seal rarely appears in calligraphy and painting, and it is extremely rare for two seals to appear on one painting and calligraphy at the same time. As far as is known, only Wang Zhenpeng's "Championship Chart" has two seals on it at the same time.

Seeing the heated discussion among the female audience in the live broadcast room, it was obvious that the eldest prince was mainly regarded as an idol, so Hu Yang said a few more words.

It is understandable that historically, women are usually a vulnerable group, and it is rare for a celebrity to appear, and it is natural to be worshipped.

"This princess can become a famous collector in history, which has a lot to do with her status and environment, and has played an important role.

Because of this status, he will certainly not be embarrassed financially, and his collection of calligraphy and painting can not only be obtained directly from the collection of the palace, but also have enough money to buy the collection, so he has a considerable personal collection, which is beyond the reach of others.

Moreover, the era in which the princess lived was the stage when the meta-culture was moving towards prosperity, and there were many great painters and scribes around her, which had a great influence on her. ”

In fact, as long as you really like it, many princesses in history can become big collectors, and they have this kind of capital. China's feudal society has been thousands of years, so many dynasties, and how many princesses there are, I can't count them.

The eldest princess of the Yuan Dynasty was quite good at cultural activities in the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty, she was fluent in Chinese, good at collecting, and respected Confucianism, and was a female celebrity in Chinese history.

As netizens often say, China may have lost in the war, but it has never lost culturally, and all the few famous ethnic groups who have entered the Central Plains will be assimilated by the profound culture of the Han family.

This is where the strength of our civilization lies, and it is the biggest reason why Chinese civilization has never been cut off for thousands of years, and it is too inclusive.

Unlike the Lianghe civilization in West Asia, where the country was destroyed, the civilization disappeared. If it hadn't been dug up by archaeologists in later generations, they wouldn't have known that there was such a glorious civilization.

Finally, Populus euphratica said to use the pen. Every calligrapher and painter has his own style and habits of brushwork.

"When we talk about using a pen, we actually mean looking at the lines. Hu Yang said.

Fan Kuan's use of "line" has two points that make us fall in love the most: one is its turn, and the other is its profundity.

The long line is the most difficult, when the first pen is leisurely attracted, when the corner of the mountain stone face must be turned, when the intention is to be smooth, when the pen is intended to clean up the subtle.

But in Fan Kuan's hands, it is very dexterous, like the drifting turns of a professional racer, which is pleasing to the eye.

After careful analysis, almost everyone believes that this is Fan Kuan's work.

"If it is really Fan Kuan's work, it is worth at least millions. Shen Lao began to be a little envious.

He knew that due to the age, there are not many authentic works of Fan Kuan, but the few remaining pieces are all fine works.

Everyone is strange, then, what does Brother Hu mean by nodding and shaking his head before?

"But what's going on here? Could it be that someone wrote here, and then someone didn't like it and wiped it off?" asked Shen Lao. Although it is very faint, the traces can still be seen.
