"Wait a minute. ”

Yu Yao then took out the picture of "Shangguan Zhou" drinking alone under the Taibai moon and unfolded it in front of Tan Xinding, "Is this one?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Brother Tan, this painting is imitation, and a little girl came to call the field, so it was detained. ”

"Imitation?call the field?" Tan Xinding's surprised expression was also in place.

Although he knew that Tan Xinding should know, Yu Yao still said it briefly.

"In Jiangzhou, you still dare to come to Mr. Yu to call a venue!" Tan Xinding waved his hand, "But it's no wonder, because she is not a person in the antique shop after all! ”

"The past is gone. Yu Yao smiled.

"In this way, what about me, the heaviest promise, I said that I would accept it, and that must be accepted. Although the owner of the goods does not pay attention to the rules, but I can't see a little girl in general, this painting, I will take it from Mr. Yu according to the agreed price at that time!"

Yu Yao lit a cigarette, "Brother Tan, you agreed at the time, presumably according to the price of the real thing, but now it has 'changed' into an imitation painting, why bother?"

"Mr. Yu didn't know that this little girl's owner was introduced by a friend of mine, and there was a roundabout kinship. It doesn't matter if you have money or not, you have to save face, right?"

Yu Yao got up and paced a few steps, "Since Brother Tan said so, wouldn't it be a shame for me to ask for your money again?"

"What did Mr. Yu say?"

"No, although I am not as thick as Brother Tan's family, it is really useless to leave an imitation painting. And Brother Tan came to the door in person, I can't help but give this face. ”

Tan Xinding then pushed back, and finally accepted.

After accepting it, Tan Xinding didn't mean to leave, but after a few more idle words, he picked the head and asked, "Mr. Yu's appreciation of calligraphy and painting is so good, I guess I have seen a lot of calligraphy and painting treasures in major museums." ”

"Brother Tan has won the award, if you want to say that my knowledge in calligraphy and painting, I am not as extensive as Brother Tan. ”

"How can I afford this? However, when it comes to the treasures in the museum, I went to Huhai this time, and by the way, I went to the museum to see the "Gao Yi Tu", which is really breathtaking!"

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, "Brother Tan is talking about the Seven Sages fragment?"

"Gao Yi Tu" is a famous Tang painting, not a complete work, it is a fragment of "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest".

Sun Wei, the author of "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", was a famous artist in the late Tang Dynasty, and his biggest name was painting water, and Zhang Nanben, another Tang Dynasty painter who was good at painting fire, was known in the world.

But in fact, Sun Wei is also very good at characters and ghosts and pine graphite bamboo.

The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest was created after the Anshi Rebellion, when the general environment made the literati a little escapist from reality and find a kind of relief from poetry, wine, literature and art, which is a bit similar to the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

The main body of "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" is the seven sages, all sitting on the "carpet", each with a scholar serving by his side, and trees, banana stones, and utensils around.

This painting is most praised for the portrayal of the eyes of the characters, even if people who do not know how to paint, it is easy to see the characteristics of these seven sages who are lonely and arrogant, unconventional, and indulgent in the countryside.

It's just a pity that there are only four sages left in the existing "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest": Shan Tao, Wang Rong, Liu Ling, and Ruan Ji, and the other three: Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, and Ruan Xian, and this part of the picture scroll has been lost.

This fragment of the Four Sages, also known as "Gao Yi Tu", was first stored in the museum in Shanghai.

"yes. Tan Xinding took Yu Yao's words, "Have you ever seen Mr. Yu?"

"No, I've only seen the album, I haven't been to the museum and seen the real thing. Yu Yao responded.

"In fact, when you look at the album, you can see it more clearly than in the museum, especially the inscriptions and seals. Tan Xinding sighed, "On this fragment, there is an inscription by Sima Tongbo of the Ming Dynasty at the back of the scroll, and the painting has the 'Xuanhe Zhenghe' seal of the Northern Song Dynasty's Inner Mansion, as well as the inscription of Song Huizong, and the seal of the Qing Dynasty's Inner Mansion." ”

"It's clear, it's clear, but Shen Yun can't see it. Just like imitation painting, no matter how clever imitation painting is, it always checks a little bit on Shen Yun. Yu Yao smiled slightly.

Tan Xinding couldn't help but be stunned, but instead smiled heartily, "Yes." This fragment has been handed down in an orderly manner, and now that it is in a museum, it is impossible to confuse the real thing. ”

It is not possible to accurately determine when the "Three Sages" part of "The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" was lost, but it is certain that its fragment "Gao Yitu" was inherited in an orderly manner.

The Northern Song Dynasty and Song Huizong must have been collected, and then they were scattered, and the Ming Dynasty may have also been collected by the royal family. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was owned by Liang Qingbiao, because there was his collection seal on it.

Later, "Gao Yitu" entered the Qing Palace, which can be found in "Shiqu Baoji". The record of the Shiqu Baoji is very detailed, and it is consistent with the current collection of museums, that is, at least before entering the Qing Dynasty, it was already a fragment.

The situation of this painting flowing out of the Qing palace is also known in history, it was during the Republic of China, Pu Yi, who was still in the Forbidden City, gave it to Pu Jie in the name of "imperial gift", and soon after it flowed to the market.

The first person to get this painting was an "acquaintance" introduced above - Jin Bosheng.

This is the only hand-me-down painting by the Tang Dynasty painter Sun Wei, and eventually, it was sold to the museum in Shanghai.

Yu Yao looked at Tan Xinding at this time, "I don't know if the lost 'Three Sages' picture scroll was broken and lost from the entire painting, or was destroyed." ”

"I don't think it's very likely to be destroyed. Tan Xinding groaned, "This reminds me of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", even if it is burned and divided into two, it is also a treasure. ”

Yu Yao nodded, "I also think that the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest have been in the folk for a long time in different historical periods, and if someone particularly likes the three sages, it is not impossible to cut them and collect them quietly." ”

Tan Xinding was slightly stunned, and then shook his head, "This is a violent thing." ”

Yu Yao didn't respond again, but Tan Xinding sighed again, "If the incomplete 'Three Sages Map' can surface today, it will also be a treasure!"

"After so many years, I'm afraid it's hard to find. Yu Yao responded.

Tan Xinding thought for a while, and suddenly lowered his voice, "It's not a secret, Mr. Yu, we have actually been looking for rare and famous paintings that have been lost in history, and this part of the fragment is still one of the key points." ”

"Oh, do you have eyebrows?" Yu Yao's heart was shocked, but he asked as if in passing.

"There are a few. Tan Xindingfu raised his voice again, "But it's not an easy task, if I can really succeed, I will definitely ask Mr. Yu to palm my eyes at that time!"

Yu Yao hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Tan is serious, and he can't afford to take his palm, but if he can really invite me to watch, it will be really my luck." ”

Yu Yao said, lowered his head and lit another cigarette, and took a deep breath to calm some fluctuating emotions.
