The charming young woman got off the bus at the most famous antique street in Lanjiang City, and Zhang Tiedan and I also walked off the bus. Of course, the purpose of getting out of the car was not to follow the charming young woman, but to think that the dazzling antique calligraphy and paintings on this antique street were quite interesting. After all, I have studied calligraphy and painting with Li Yunshen for so long, and I should also come out to see the world, and I had more than 40 yuan in my pocket at that time, but I don't know if it is enough to buy a calligraphy and painting?

Lanjiang City is located in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province and has a long history. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the northern big families moved south, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have gradually become a gathering place for literati and scholars, and later the Southern Song Dynasty set the capital of Hangzhou, which brought unprecedented economic and cultural prosperity to the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In addition to the reputation of the land of fish and rice, Lanjiang City is also the hometown of famous cultural relics in the Jiangnan region, Zhang Qingfang of Lanjiang City is a well-known figure in the national antique industry, has been engaged in the identification of cultural relics of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and has a very high attainment in the identification of calligraphy and painting, porcelain, miscellaneous items, etc., and is a veteran figure in the national antique industry. In addition to his strong appraisal of antiques, Zhang Qingfang is also a well-known collector, and his home can be said to be a museum with a complete range of collections. But no matter how much Zhang Qingfang collects, there will be a time when the leaves will return to their roots, after Zhang Qingfang retired, he returned to his hometown, and the famous antique street in Lanjiang City was developed under his initiative, and Zhang Qingfang's son Zhang Yuliang is the big boss of the antique street.

There are many shops on the antique street, some selling calligraphy and paintings, some selling porcelain and jade, and some selling miscellaneous stalls. It was noon, and most of the vendors in the shops on both sides of the antique street were eating in the shop, when a middle-aged man with a haggard face came to a shop called Gu Mengxuan. Out of curiosity, I followed in.

- "Do you collect antique paintings here?" asked the middle-aged man hesitantly, looking very decadent, as if he hadn't slept in days.

The owner of the antique shop wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked very shrewd: "Of course the ancient paintings are collected, but I am afraid that they are not ancient paintings, there are too many fakes in these years, I only accept ancient paintings here, not fakes, let me see your paintings first." ”

The middle-aged man carefully opened the scroll, and the unfolded scroll spread out on the counter, looking very solemn and ceremonial.

- "If it weren't for the creditor's urgency, I wouldn't have taken out this ancestral calligraphy and painting and sold it." ”

The scroll unfolds more than three meters long, about 80 centimeters wide, this painting is a landscape ink painting, depicting the scene of people's spring outing when the peach and apricot compete in February in the south of the Yangtze River, the willows on the lakeside are green and lovely, and the branches that have not yet grown leaves also seem to feel the warmth of the sun, and are about to sprout. There are two idlers riding horses by the lake, and three cute Peugeot women in the lake are sitting in the boat gossiping. In the picture, there is a small temple on a stream, there are ancient temples in the mountains, the whole painting is dominated by natural scenery, looking into the distance: the green mountains are towering, the rivers are endless, the flowers are splendid, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, the water is sparkling, and the characters and Buddhist temples are dotted in the meantime, so it is a vibrant, ancient spring scene.

The shopkeeper took out a magnifying glass, looked at it carefully, then put the magnifying glass down, and said with a smile: "Although your [Spring Tour] technique is very high, the lines and the outline of the characters are also majestic and robust, and it has the style of an ancient. But obviously, you are a copy of a modern era, the collection value is not large, you must know that the real [You Chun Tu] is painted by Zhan Ziqian of the Sui Dynasty, is the earliest existing Chinese landscape painting, and is also the only work of Zhan Ziqian of the Sui Dynasty, if this is a genuine work, it is a rare treasure of the national treasure level, you better take it elsewhere! I do not accept fakes here. ”

The middle-aged man looked shocked and said, "This can't be a fake!" My dead father once told me again and again that no matter how poor I am, I can't sell this calligraphy and painting, even if I beg for food, I can't sell this calligraphy and painting, if I don't owe usury for gambling, and those creditors are pressing, I really won't take out this calligraphy and painting and sell it, and I don't want much, just 10,000 yuan, and this ancient painting will be sold to you. ”

- "Don't be kidding, just this fake in your hand, I'm too expensive for a hundred yuan, I told you a long time ago, I don't accept fakes here, you better find another job!"

At this time, I was stunned, because I saw a hidden quaint atmosphere in that painting, and this quaint atmosphere flowed out of the painting, faintly revealing an antique beauty. If this [Spring Tour] is a fake, it is absolutely impossible to have that kind of quaint temperament, and it is impossible to have that kind of antique beauty, is there something else in this ancient painting!
