For Xu Li's regret, others don't think it's strange. Because over the years, Bai Ye's works have been in the market, and they can be said to be priceless.

Bai Ye is notoriously "stingy" in the art industry, and many of his works are not small, but they are not sold at all.

This kind of "self-produced and self-sold" behavior has made many people deeply disgusted. Therefore, not being able to buy Bai Ye's works can be regarded as the norm in the industry.

Regarding this complaint, Bai Ye just smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Xu for your love, it's just that my works, in the industry, are not very good things, they belong to self-entertainment, so they won't be brought to the market to show ugliness." ”

“……”

The others were speechless for a moment, everyone knew that this was Bai Ye humbling himself, but it was not a taste to hear it. If Bai Ye's work is not good, then wouldn't theirs be even more rubbish?

"Haha. ”

Xu Li laughed, he was a smart person, he wouldn't let go of this matter, and immediately changed the topic, "Everyone is appreciating your face today and patronizing the cold house, this is to give me face." ”

"I'm a person who makes friends, especially people who understand art...... On the one hand, it is more or less vassal elegance, and on the other hand, it is really really like it. ”

Xu Li smiled: "A few days ago, I bought a work of art at an auction. The expert said that it was a rare treasure in recent years, and I suspected that he was trying to coax me. ”

"You are also experts, and your eyesight is certainly not bad. ”

Xu Li tried to ask, "Why don't you ...... Will you give me a slap?"

"What artwork?"

Everyone will not rush to agree, after all, they are not professional appraisers, even if they have a certain appreciation, they dare not show off. If the other party's artwork happens to be in an area that they are not good at, wouldn't it be a joke?

It turned out that their ideas were somewhat redundant.

"A painting. ”

Xu Li said with a smile: "The ancient paintings of the Ming Dynasty are not masterpieces, but in terms of genre paintings, they are relatively rare and unpopular. ”

As soon as he said this, Bai Ye and the others suddenly became interested.

In the eyes of everyone, they have seen too many mainstream ancient paintings, and even if they put a heavyweight work of a national treasure painter in front of them, they may not be too excited.

After all, the more precious and rare the masterpiece, the more widely circulated.

You can't see the real thing, but the imitation can fly all over the sky. In particular, some of the facsimiles made by the master himself are no different from the original works.

I have read too many facsimiles, and everyone does not attach so much importance to the authentic works. In contrast, the unpopular calligraphy and painting are relatively easy to stimulate everyone's curiosity.

At that moment, someone spoke, with a few words of urgency, "Mr. Xu, if you don't dislike us for being shallow and have limited eyesight, we will definitely be happy to help with this." ”

"Good, great. ”

Xu Li waved his hand and called, "Come on, bring me the newly bought painting." ”

An order was given, and after a while, someone carried a long brocade box, walked into the living room briskly, and handed over the things to Xu Li.

"This painting is not short......"

Xu Li opened the brocade box and introduced: "It is more than a foot wide and long, but it is two zhang long, almost four meters long......"

As he spoke, he took out the scroll from the box and spread it on the long table next to him. The scroll is on the long table, hanging all the way to the ground, and it's not over.

Everyone didn't mind, and they gathered around to take a look.

At first glance, someone exclaimed, "Oh, boundary paintings, they are indeed rare." ”

The so-called boundary painting is a more distinctive category of Chinese painting. Generally speaking, the two main streams of Chinese painting, freehand and gongbi painting, are both directly lifted and depicted on paper. And boundary painting, as the name suggests, is when painting, the boundary ruler is used to lead the line, so it is called boundary painting.

When Gongbi and freehand painting were popular, boundary painting was reduced to a niche category.

In ancient times, some people put forward a saying that all paintings were divided into disciplines, collectively known as the thirteen departments of painters.

These thirteen branches are the Buddha and Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor and the Emperor, the King Kong, the Ghost God, the Arhat, the Wind and Cloud, the Dragon and the Tiger, the Characters of the World, the Landscape of the Whole Territory, the Flowers, Bamboos, the Feathers, the Wild Beasts, the Animals of the World, the Boundary Painting Tower, All the Sideways, the Cultivation Machine, and the Carved Green and Green

Boundary painting of buildings, which is classified as a separate section, specifically refers to the painting of palaces, buildings, houses and other buildings as the theme, and the line is drawn with a boundary ruler.

The boundary painting purchased by Xu Li is a typical architectural figure.

In the long scroll, most of the content is palaces and buildings, and there are rockeries and rivers and trees dotted with them.

In each building, there are also some figures, in groups of three or five. Or located in the courtyard to enjoy the flowers, or in the building to watch the scenery, a group of rich idlers, leisurely atmosphere.

Looking at the clothes of the characters, as well as various ornaments, it can basically be concluded that this is not the court, but the realistic life of high-ranking officials and nobles.

This is the characteristic of boundary painting, and its creative purpose is to be neat and realistic, and the shape is accurate. Whether it is the layout of the building or the image of the characters, it must be as real as it is, exactly the same.

The famous Qingming Riverside Map, as well as the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, actually belong to boundary paintings.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, it should be the pinnacle of boundary painting. However, feng shui takes turns, and the boundary paintings that should be proud of the scenery will not be popular after arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Mainly literati after the Song Dynasty, especially like a few brushstrokes, long rhyme, never get tired of seeing literati paintings, for a slightly dull boundary paintings, not very much.

Of course, in the eyes of Bai Ye and others, they may not learn such boundary paintings, nor will they create boundary paintings, but they recognize the value and charm of boundary paintings, and do not mind highly appreciating and respecting them.

Well, people must be as tolerant as possible of things that do not constitute a threat.

"This is ......"

After watching for a while, some people thought: "The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, the boundary painting of Lin'an City." ”

"Good eyesight. ”

Xu Li's eyes lit up and he praised: "The expert told me that this should be a picture of the palace of Lin'an City painted by a court painter in the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

"Well, I see. ”

The man nodded lightly, stretched out his hand and signaled: "If nothing else, this should be the Chongzheng Palace, the Second Vertical Arch Palace, as well as the Funing Palace, the Yanhe Palace, and ......."

He counted them one by one, and knew it by heart.

"Tsk, you're a great kid. Chen Daqi was surprised: "How can you know so well, even if you have been there, the palace city of the Southern Song Dynasty would have been destroyed in the war." ”

"Miyagi is ruined, but the drawings are still there. ”

The man explained with a smile: "Two years ago, I went to Yuhang to sketch, and in order to accumulate materials, I also went to the local museum to visit, and I was fortunate to see some materials from the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

"Actually, there are some drawings, which are the Miyagi drawings of that year. ”

The man sighed a little, "Those pictures of Miyagi, compared with this boundary painting, are really the same, there is not much difference." ”

"By the way, have you found it, in fact, if you compare it carefully, you can also find some shadows in Mr. Xu's garden......"
