Deduce?

What inference?

For a moment, everyone was confused, not understanding what Bai Ye was talking about.

In their strange gaze, Bai Ye no longer sold Guanzi, and said bluntly: "My opinion is that only in the Tang Dynasty, the royal family attached importance to the Dao Palace and murals, and after the Tang Dynasty, the status of the Dao Palace would be affected, even if it did not plummet. ”

It's inevitable.

The others didn't refute it, knowing that it was true.

And then what?

Bai Ye continued: "As far as I know, the utensils of the court, even if they are just murals, in order to show the so-called royal atmosphere, it is customary to add some precious metals to the Danqing ore pigment. ”

This means that if there is really a difference between the murals of the Tang Dynasty and the murals after the Tang Dynasty, then it must be clear at a glance to detect the pigment composition in the murals. ”

Yes!

Bai Ye's words may be a little winding.

But everyone is not stupid, and after a little pondering, they will understand.

What a genius......

Some people's eyes are full of admiration.

The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the Taoist Palace, and naturally there would be precious metals such as gold dust and silver dust in the ore pigments of the murals, but in the Song Dynasty, there was definitely no such treatment.

If the results of the test show that there is no gold or silver in the remaining pigment of the mural, it means that the mural must have been repaired or repainted. In short, it will definitely not be the authentic work of Wu Daozi, this is indeed a evidence of the origin.

Provided, of course......

In the court murals of the Tang Dynasty, was there really a habit of adding gold dust and silver dust? All of a sudden, everyone's eyes converged on Yu Hao and Fan Ji'an.

In the art of painting, these two men were certainly authorities.

However, the first to speak was Professor Qi next to him, and he said excitedly: "The court murals of the Tang Dynasty really have this habit. In many imperial tombs and tombs of magnates in the Tang Dynasty, there are also murals. After our testing, those mural pigments do contain precious gold and silver. ”

Such a habit, even in the Ming Dynasty, was inherited by the royal family. ”

Professor Qi said with a smile: "The Xuande furnace knows, although it is cast in fine copper, some gold and silver dust is also added to it, so it is brilliant." ”

That's it!

As soon as everyone heard it, the archaeologists all said so, and there must be no problem. The process of sampling, testing, and analysis does not need to be repeated.

Anyway, a few days later, the test report came out. The people who were still staying in Luoyang hurriedly took the report and watched.

At first glance, the pigment of the mural does contain gold and silver.

Rumble!

The scene exploded and boiled.

Authentic!

The murals of Laojun Temple turned out to be the authentic works of Wu Daozi.

Even if the work is painted and then remediated, but in the industry, this also belongs to the category of authentic works. At the very least, it is not a work repainted after the Song Dynasty.

All in all, this conclusion is exciting.

It's incredible, it is suspected that Wu Daozi's authentic work was born, and after this news was broadcast from major media, there was no doubt that it caused a strong sensation.

In the blink of an eye, Luoyang ushered in the peak period of tourism, and it was overcrowded. All kinds of experts and scholars gathered in Laojun Temple to study the murals seriously.

At the beginning, experts and scholars must have looked at the mural with skepticism. After all, scholarship is rigorous, and it can't be regarded as ironclad evidence based on an inference from Bai Ye.

However, with the smooth progress of archaeological work, more and more cultural relics have been unearthed in Laojun Temple. In the end, crucial evidence was unearthed, which became the straw that broke the camel's back.

In the vicinity of the Laojun Temple, a relic came down, and the archaeologists dug out the cellar.

There were no gold, silver and jewelry in the cellar, just some Taoist ritual utensils and dense Taoist books and classics.

Of course, magic weapons, classics or something are not top-secret versions. The key is that in the books, there are diaries written by the Taoist palace hosts of the past dynasties.

It is not a diary of the host, but a record of the changes of the years in the Dao Palace.

From the expansion of the temple by Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, to the glory of the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, and the decline of the Aizong of the Tang Dynasty, until the ruin of Zhu Wen's usurpation......

At this point, the record came to an abrupt end. It can be said that these records can be regarded as a history of the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, from glory to ruin.

In the records, you can also see that at least before the Tang Dynasty, the murals in the Laojun Temple have not been damaged, let alone picked up or repaired.

It can be concluded that this is the authentic work of Wu Daozi.

It's a real hammer.

Many people fell into an.

The most excited, of course, is the Luoyang Tourism Bureau, it is said that they have proposed a plan to the municipal government and started to build a scenic spot. Although there are a lot of scenic spots in Luoyang, they don't mind, a few more open source points.

In the excitement, everyone has not forgotten the white leaves. After all, it was his inference that made everyone think that it was very likely that the mural was Wu Daozi's authentic work, and then accelerated the progress of archaeology.

It's just that when some people's eyes turned to Bai Ye, they were surprised to find that Luoyang had already lost their traces.

In fact, Bai Ye was only in Luoyang, and he stayed for a few days before returning to Hangzhou. When the outside world speculated and discussed the Laojun Temple, he continued to devote himself to creation and painted his own murals.

Until the dust settled, he finally finished his job.

The mural is finished.

Jiang Yuan and the others gathered in the temple, looking at the beautiful works that satisfied all their fantasies, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Bai Ye, thank you for your hard work. ”

Jiang Yuan did not hide the admiration in his eyes: "With this work, the success rate of the Long Street Renovation Project has increased by several points." ”

Others thought it was not a kind remark, but a statement of facts.

After all, now, Wu Daozi's murals ...... The news of the birth of the ruins is also known to women and children, and it is the hottest news now.

Such a hot spot, even after the boom has passed, is still impressive.

Moreover, the creation of scenic spots cannot be completed at once, and people are still archaeology. This work requires patience, and it is impossible to complete it without a time or two.

Therefore, everyone's rhythm is about the same. When the archaeological work is completed, the attraction will be built and open to tourists.

It just so happened that the renovation of Long Street was also a complete success. At that time, the murals in the small temple may be one of the hole cards that gathered popularity.

Jiang Yuan had already thought about how to publicize it when the time came.

With his understanding of the protection of ancient cultural relics, it is absolutely impossible to repair and restore the authentic works of Wu Daozi in Laojun Temple, but to carry out some measures to prevent it from continuing to collapse. That is, what the ruins are now, and what they will be in the future.

He has seen the authentic works, and perhaps in the eyes of experts and scholars, the dilapidated and original appearance is full of research value. The problem is that from the perspective of tourists, it is definitely an unsightly scene, and if you have high expectations, you will probably be disappointed.

At that time, he can take the opportunity to publicize the existence of Wu Daozi in the long street, where there are thousands of years of painting skills closest to Wu Daozi......
