Chapter 331: Plum Blossom Diagram of the Crown

"Most of Chen Chun's paintings are collected in major museums, and they are rarely seen among the people. Fan Lao said with some love.

"It's just a waste to put everything in the museum and hide it, and you can't look at it or touch it. ”

The military master deeply sympathizes with this, sometimes he sees a good painting, but he is cut off by the Cultural Relics Bureau, and he can't rob it, and he is very depressed.

"However, compared with the two peony pictures, I still prefer Yun Shouping's peony picture. The military master's words caused a burst of contempt from the other three, indicating that they had no common language with each other.

"Zhao Xiaoyou, I'm afraid you got the collection of a collector, these paintings are not simple!"

Zhou Lao sighed with emotion, the two peony pictures are obviously not a coincidence, and it is very likely that they were specially collected by their owners.

"It's endless! I'd like to see what's next. ”

Jun Ye's eyes widened, looking at the next scroll unfolded by Zhao Tianming, although he was itching, he was not good at overstepping his responsibilities and making his own decisions.

No matter how casual it is, after all, they have only known each other for a long time, and they are no older than Zhou, so they can joke at will. If you break one, it's even more embarrassing, and it's not just a matter of losing money. Any of these precious calligraphy and paintings is damaged, and even those present are not very acceptable.

Therefore, the others did not have many hands, waiting for Zhao Tianming to uncover the painting by himself, while Gu Jiahua helped press the unfolded picture scroll with a paperweight on the side for easy appreciation.

The next one made Zhou Lao and the others' eyes brighten, this is actually a plum blossom picture of the crown!

The name of the crown must have been heard by many people, the poem "Momei": "My family washes the trees by the inkstone pond, and the flowers bloom with light ink marks." Don't let people praise the color, only leave the clear air full of goodness", it is even more popular, passed down through the ages, just find a child, probably can recite it smoothly.

Middle school textbooks, as well as texts about his inspirational story, say that Wang Mian's family was poor when he was a child, and he herded cattle for others, but he secretly ran to the school to listen to his husband's teaching, and when he went home in the evening, he forgot to bring the cattle back.

His father beat him, and his mother was far-sighted, saying, "Why not let this boy be so obsessed with reading?"

As a result, Wang Mian was able to read from now on, and this story tells us that we should cherish the opportunity to read, study hard, and make progress every day.

However, what is not said in the textbook is that Wang Mian, who has loved reading and learning since he was a child, is not a scholar, but repeatedly fails to take exams, and finally burns the articles in his career.

The crown behaved unusually, often wearing a high hat, a green robe, wooden sandals, and a wooden sword, singing and singing to and from the city. Or riding a big ox and reading with a book, everyone regarded him as a "madman".

Later, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang pacified Wuzhou and captured Yuezhou, I don't know if he was sympathetic to each other because of the similarity in his name, or if he heard about Wang Yuanzhang's reputation and asked him to be an official, but Wang Mian refused on the grounds of becoming a monk and did not give face at all.

Wang Mian character Yuan Zhang, the number boiled stone mountain farmer, food in the Weng, plum blossom house owner, etc., is a famous painter, poet, seal carver in the Yuan Dynasty. He came from a poor background, herded cattle at an early age, and was self-taught, and his experience can be described as inspirational.

He loved plum blossoms all his life, planting plums, singing plums, and painting plums. The plum blossoms painted are dense and multitudes, full of business, vigorous and powerful, have a greater influence on later generations, and there are traces of surviving paintings, such as "Nanzhi Spring Morning Picture", "Momei Picture", "Three Gentlemen Picture" and so on.

Wang Mian is famous for painting plums, especially attacking ink plums. His paintings of plum are concise and free-flowing, and they are unique.

This painting is also a picture of plum blossoms, the plum blossoms in the painting are dotted, the brushwork is simple and elegant, the branches are quite beautiful, interspersed with momentum, and the composition is fresh and pleasing to the eye.

For this kind of painter with a backbone, the most respected by the world, Zhou Lao and Fan Lao do not care about other picture scrolls, carefully appreciate together, from the picture scroll, pursue the proud spirit left by the crown.

"This painting, with the appropriate shade of ink, the blooming of flowers, gradually blooming, containing buds are all appear moist and free, full of vitality, its pen is strong, hook flowers to create a unique frustration method, although not colored, but can be the plum blossom with a smile on the branches, vividly depicted, worthy of painting plum masters. ”

"The most rare thing is that the painting not only expresses the natural charm of plum blossoms, but also embodies the painter's high-standard and lonely thoughts and feelings. ”

Fan Lao tasted it intoxicated, held it in his hand, and couldn't take his eyes off it, afraid of missing any detail.

"Hmm, Hua Yanzi Yunju, Xu Wei's book seal, this painting was once collected by Xu Wei?"

Zhou Lao's attention was on the various connoisseurship seals on the picture scroll, and he found the connoisseurship seal of "Surplus Shanyin", but next to it, he found an even more remarkable connoisseurship seal.

Probably the owner of the seal of "Surplus Shanyin", who also admired Xu Wei, actually printed next to him and looked up.

In addition to being a famous painter, Xu Wei is also a well-known collector of paintings and calligraphy. He likes to collect books, has purchased nearly 10,000 volumes, and has built a book building "Qingteng Book House", also known as "Pomegranate Book House".

There are also a lot of seals in his collection, which are well known, such as "Wen Chang's Family", "Shiouguan", "Xin Mao Seventy-one", "Hua Dian Zi Yunju", "Long Dumb Family", "Tianchi Mountain People", "Qingteng Old Man" and so on.

However, in his later years, he was poor and relied on selling calligraphy and paintings to make a living, and the books he collected were also stolen, deceived or bought by various relatives and friends, and were circulated and lost, and are no longer there. If Yuan Hongdao hadn't devoted most of his life to admiring his works, a generation of geniuses would probably have been buried in the torrent of history, and his own works would have been taken seriously, let alone his book collection.

Those books, I don't know how many people got them, or sold them cheaply or threw them away at will, there are not many that can be properly kept like Xu Wei when he was alive.

Perhaps it is because the plum blossom picture of this crown is too precious, and it is the people who know the goods that have been preserved to this day, and finally I don't know how many times it has been circulated, before it was transferred to the owner of the seal of this "surplus Sanyin".

In other words, this person may be a fanatic, but in these calligraphy and paintings, many of them are former "Shanyin people", Wang Mian and Xu Wei are both. Xu Wei's paintings, as well as two others, are both three or four meters long, and I don't know how much effort and cost it took to get them.

"Is this Xu Wei's book seal?" This time, the military master was not calm, and stepped forward to take a look.

Wang Mian's painting is still the most iconic plum blossom picture, and what is even more surprising is that there is Xu Wei's book collection seal on it, which will definitely add a lot of value to it. I don't know how much this painting will be worth.
