"Xiao Fei, this is Zheng Banqiao's "Yazhai Listening to Bamboo Picture" that you received? I want to see what level it is. At this time, Xie Lao walked towards a painting hanging on the front wall, looking very interested.

Although Liu Yunfei has just been eye-catching, no one in the old people looks down on him because of this, and they all know that his level is one of the best among the younger generation, otherwise Liu Lao would not boast in front of his old friends.

Zheng Banqiao is good at painting orchids, bamboo, and stones, and he once called himself "the orchid that is not thanked at four times, the bamboo that is evergreen in a hundred sections, the stone that is invincible through the ages, and the person who remains unchanged for thousands of years." He also inscribed a poem: "There are orchids, bamboos, stones, incense, knots and bones." His paintings are sparse in appearance and vigorous in style, more than chaotic, less not sparse, get rid of the habits of the times, and show off the vigor.

There is another characteristic of his paintings, that is, each painting must be titled with poems, there must be good titles, poems and paintings are reflected, infinitely expanding the breadth of the picture, and the inscription poems must be self-created, and there are few paintings that do not inscribe poems in carefully created works.

In addition, Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy is also very distinctive, he calls himself "six and a half books", known as "Banqiao style". The "six and a half" book is a kind of official book mixed with other scripts such as Kai, line, seal, and grass.

He can intersperse the size, length, square, thin, and sparse staggered, such as "paving the streets with stones", and there are rules in the indulgence. It seems to be a casual stroke, but the overall view produces a sense of jumping and agile rhythm.

As one of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou", he not only behaves strangely, but also has strange calligraphy, which is one of his major styles, and he must be extremely accomplished in calligraphy to be able to write, which also increases the difficulty of imitation of his paintings.

It made a few old men laugh. Liu Yunfei was embarrassed, just hit the eye, and just happened to be bumped into by a few old people, it was really embarrassing to throw it home, I just hated that I didn't throw it directly into the garbage heap at that time.

"This is an imitation, the level is really high, if you don't know the roots, you may really miss it. Several old people observed carefully for a while, and they all showed admiration.

In a sense, imitations are also fakes, but imitations and fakes are two concepts that are by no means the same.

Fakes are 100% fakes, copies of the original or even prints, mostly shoddy and have no collectible or artistic value. Some of them are even imaginary things that the fraudsters have imagined out of thin air, and there are no prototypes at all.

The imitation is the author's learning mentality, with reverence, copying the works of the ancients and sages, it should be consistent with the real product in terms of materials, shape, craftsmanship and style, in order to achieve the unity of form and spirit.

In fact, all painters have basically copied ancient paintings, copying, is a process of learning Chinese painting, most of these people, have a good cultural accomplishment, and for the purpose of learning brush and ink, most of their works are also collectible.

Just like Zhang Daqian's copy of Shi Tao and Bada Shanren's paintings, it can also be fake, and it is also an imitation, but he is still Zhang Daqian's authentic handiwork, and it is still of great value.

And the imitation of the real meaning will be marked out openly, and will not be concealed to confuse the real. Like the high-quality imitations sold in many antique shops today, they are not deceiving.

Therefore, many imitations will have a unique mark left by the copyist to distinguish the original product.

This "Yazhai Listening to Bamboo Picture" is not a real imitation, it is just a trick to deceive and make profits, there is no mark of the copyist, it is just the work of a nobody, and almost no one will collect it.

In addition, there is also a case of preserving the original, inheriting the tradition, improving the technique, and expanding the influence, such as the various versions of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is an example.

There are also China's top ten masterpieces of "Luo Shen Fu", "The Female History of Zhentu", "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", etc., which have been preserved by copying and copying in the case of the original work.

Now in the museum, the paintings before the Song Dynasty, there are almost no authentic works that have survived to the present, and the paintings of Gu Kaizhi, Zhang Xuan, Zhou Fang, etc., which we can see, are basically copied by later generations, that is, imitations.

But now, these imitations are just as valuable and as national treasures.

"I have a genuine painting of Zheng Banqiao here, a few seniors, why don't you point and point out?" At this time, Luo Yuanxing opened a painting and calligraphy on the table and said to several old people.

This is a gift he is going to give to Liu Yunfei today, so they will discuss Zheng Banqiao before, and Liu Yunfei will show off his collection of Zheng Banqiao's works.

As a result, he was slapped in the face on the spot, and he was bumped into by his own Lao Tzu and several old people on the spot, not to mention how depressed he was, and he almost had to hold back his internal injuries.

"Zheng Banqiao's real handiwork?" Several old people were a little moved, and they were really surprised today.

"That's right! You see, there's an original painting that is compared here, and the effect is obvious? A fake is a fake, and there is nothing to hide in front of the real thing. Xie Lao pointed to the fakes on the wall and compared them with each other.

Needless to say, the vision of several old people is not bad, and they can naturally see the difference, but when Taobao is told, there will not be a genuine product for you to compare, the level is not enough, and you will still suffer.

Zheng Banqiao's authentic handiwork, Zhao Tianming also wanted to take a look, and when several old people had seen it, he and Wang Zhiwei stepped forward.

This painting by Zheng Banqiao is still a picture of bamboo and stone, the stone depicted on it is clearly outlined, hard and straight, and it is still a bamboo forest, the bamboo branches are thin and towering, and a dense and plump leaf is formed above.

Zheng Banqiao once wrote a pair of study couplets: delete the complicated and simplify the three autumn trees, and the intention is to mark the new and lead the new February flowers. This is also a portrayal of his style, the bamboo he painted, known for their simplicity and thinness, most of them only have a few bamboos, and few pieces are made.

This one is a little different, although the bamboo is still thin and small and straight, but it exists in patches, distinct, sparse and orderly, and layered.

There is also an inscription poem on the scroll, but it is not any familiar one that Zhao Tianming knows, and it is not surprising that he has not seen all of Zheng Banqiao's poems.

Zhao Tianming has never seen Zheng Banqiao's authentic handwriting, it is difficult to judge whether it is true or false, and many subtleties can be confirmed with the cognition in his mind one by one by looking at it with his eyesight.

However, as soon as he got started, his face changed slightly, this painting has been seen by several old people here, and he hasn't seen any problems, is it genuine?

Zhao Tianming's attitude was much more serious, and he carefully observed the painting with a magnifying glass, trying to find out the flaws.

His actions fell into the eyes of Wang Zhiwei next to him, and he couldn't help muttering: "There won't be any problems with this painting, right? ”
