Chapter 650: New Clues

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, let's not mention that I am not a lamb to the slaughter, my intuition is also very effective, if this trip is dangerous, my intuition should remind me." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe you think this is too mysterious, but past experience tells me that my intuition can indeed predict good luck and evil. ”

Speaking of which, he gave a few more real examples, in order to tell He Wanyi that this matter is true.

He Wanyi always felt that this matter was a bit of a god's chatter, and she couldn't believe it or believe it all, but Meng Zitao didn't like lying just to comfort herself, but no matter what, when it came to Meng Zitao's safety, she didn't want to compromise easily.

Next, Meng Zitao had to persuade for a while, and He Wanyi reluctantly agreed, but he had to agree with three chapters of the law, and he couldn't easily get into danger, and of course Meng Zitao agreed one by one.

The couple returned to the living room of Su's family, and seeing that they were fine, Su Lao took everyone to his treasure room.

As an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal, the collection of Su's family is of course mainly based on calligraphy and painting works, and the collection is quite rich.

In addition, the room is also specially arranged, insect-proof, moisture-proof, fireproof, followed by the temperature and humidity of the storage environment can be controlled and adjusted, etc., all of which are for the safety of the collection of calligraphy and paintings.

Generally speaking, it is best to store ancient paintings in such an environment, but how many can do it?

Getting back to the point, Su Lao smiled and let everyone enjoy the paintings in the room casually, if it is a collection of calligraphy and paintings, you can take it to the side of the work table to appreciate,

Everyone said that there was no problem, so they began to look for their own goals.

However, when Meng Zitao was about to act, Su Lao confessed to him a few more words, which meant that if Meng Zitao found any debatable works, he could point them out, after all, he was a human being, not a god, and it was impossible for every work to be judged correctly, and it was difficult to keep a fish that slipped through the net.

Of course, the calligraphy and painting works that can be obtained here have all been verified by Su Lao, and there will be basically no problems.

Meng Zitao casually agreed, and began to appreciate the calligraphy and painting works in the room.

The calligraphy and painting works in the room are worthy of Su Lao's collection for many years, and they are all famous works, such as Qiu Ying, Xu Wei, Lan Ying, Ding Yunpeng, Wang Shimin, Shi Tao and so on.

Among these treasures, the most precious is Zhao Mengfu's regular script works, and even Mencius couldn't help but admire them again and again after appreciating them.

After admiring Zhao Mengfu's authentic works, Shu Ze said with a smile: "Old Su, take the liberty of asking, there are rumors that you once collected a work by Gu Kaizhi, is there such a thing?"

Meng Zitao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Gu Kaizhi was a great painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, versatile, poetry, calligraphy, especially fine painting, tasted talent, painting, and idiot, and the famous "Luo Shen Futu" is his work.

Gu Kaizhi put forward the views of conveying the gods, guarding the gods with form, and imposing the wonderfulness of imagination, advocating that painting should express the mental state and character characteristics of the characters, attach importance to the experience and observation of the object, grasp the inner essence of the object through the subtlety of the imagination, and depict the god in form on the basis of the likeness. Gu Kaizhi's painting and his theories have laid the foundation for the development of traditional painting in China and have a very high status.

"Will Su Lao be able to collect his authentic handwritings? It can't be a copy?" Meng Zitao thought.

Sure enough, just as Meng Zitao guessed, Su Lao smiled and said: "It's true, but well, who made this painting, I haven't studied the reason." ”

"Do you mean that this painting is not genuine?" Shu Ze was slightly disappointed.

"Of course, if there is even the slightest hope of authenticity, I can't keep it a secret. ”

Su Lao smiled, then walked to the place where he specially placed all kinds of imitations, and solemnly took out a painting from a wooden box.

This is a colored silk book, which is Gu Kaizhi's masterpiece "Cutting the Qin", which depicts the scene of the ancient literati making the piano. There are 14 people in the painting, either breaking the board, making strings, trying the piano, or watching the conductor, and several waiters (or apprentices) holding fans or cheering.

Everyone in the picture is vividly depicted, and the author has just the right grasp of the inner temperament of the characters, and the characters are extremely expressive, so that the audience is amazed.

Speaking of which, there is already a copy of the Song Dynasty in the "Qin Chopping Picture", which is now in the Forbidden City, and this work, giving Meng Zitao the feeling that it is better than the one in the Forbidden City in terms of painting skills, and it is even better than the original.

Of course, the authentic work of Mencius has not been appreciated, and there is no way to know, but this painting is not genuine from the silk paper and other aspects, and it may also be a work of the Song Dynasty.

Shu Ze asked, "Old Su, whose work do you think this painting is?"

Su Lao replied with a smile: "I have a few candidates, but I'm not sure, what do you think, Xiao Meng?"

With the help of the ability, Meng Zitao actually had a promise in his heart, he pretended to hesitate for a while, and then said the answer: "I think it may be an imitation of Mi Fu." ”

Su Lao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh, how can you see it?"

Meng Zitao said to everyone with a smile: "I don't know if you have heard of the story of "Mi Fu for Painting"?"

"Mi Fu for painting" is about the Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu to imitate the famous painting. Dai Song was a famous painter of the Tang Dynasty who was famous for his good at painting cows. His works are often regarded as priceless treasures and are treasured. One day, Mi Fu, a great calligrapher of the Song Dynasty who was an official in Lianshui, saw a person who took a picture of Dai Song's cattle and sold it along the street. The more he looked at it, the more he loved it, so he told the seller to borrow it for one day and return it the next day.

Mi Fu's means of copying is extremely clever, the works can be almost chaotic; he often returns the work to others, leaving their own genuine traces. This time he did just that. Who knew that the painter got Mi Fu returned the cow picture shortly after, and came to the door, a bite to say that Mi Fu returned a fake, asked him to return the real book.

Mi Fu was taken aback and asked him why he was so sure that this was a fake. The seller said, "The real cow has the shadow of a shepherd boy in its eyes, and you can see that there is nothing in your cow's eyes, how can this be hidden from me?"

Dai Song's cow eyes actually have the shadow of a shepherd boy, which Mi Fu never expected. So he had to be embarrassed to return the real thing to others.

Shu Ze smiled: "After all, this is just a story, who knows how high Mi Fu's painting skills are?"

Meng Zitao said: "This is indeed a story, true or false, but there are a lot of documents in history about the level of Mi Fu's painting. For example, Song Zhouhui's "Slippery Magazine" volume Wuwang recorded: "Mi Lao is fond of calligraphy and painting, and he tries to borrow ancient paintings from others, expand and compete, and return them to the real fakes, so that he can choose them and be indistinguishable." Isn't that proof there?"

At the same time, Mi Dai was also one of the initiators of literati painting in the Song Dynasty, and although he himself did not leave any paintings for later generations, his painting ideas had a profound impact on later generations. One of the main points is that Mi Dai's paintings are significantly different from those of the Song and Tang dynasties, he likes Gao Gu, and the object of the method is Gu Kaizhi. This is also recorded in the relevant classics, and you can also look for it. ”

Shu Ze nodded: "I believe what you said should be correct, but to say that this painting is Mi Fu's work, there must be some empirical evidence, right?"

Meng Zitao spread his hands and said: "Everything is just my guess, after all, Mi Fu's paintings have no heirlooms, want to understand his real painting style is also no way to start, where is the evidence? ”

Su Lao smiled: "Xiao Meng is right, I also have this idea, but I have been suffering from no empirical evidence, maybe I will have to wait until there are new discoveries in the future to be confirmed." ”

Everyone discussed the painting for a while, and then Su Lao put away the scroll and prepared to put it back.

In the end, he was old and had been busy for a long time, and when he took out the painting just now, Meng Zitao felt that Su Lao was a little difficult, so he asked Su Lao to tell him how to place it, and he came to help.

After putting away the calligraphy and paintings, when Meng Zitao was about to leave this corner, his intuition suddenly reminded him, he quickly glanced around, and his eyes immediately fell on a landscape painting labeled Juran in front of him.

Meng Zitao's heart moved, could it be that this painting is related to the clues he obtained?

Thinking that the sixth sense could not be targeted, Meng Zitao believed his judgment, so he asked Su Lao if he could appreciate this painting, of course Su Lao had no opinion, and took the scroll off the Bogu shelf.

Carefully unfolded the scroll, and when he saw the contents on the scroll, Shu Ze was stunned, and his eyes showed an incredible look.

Because, the content of this painting is the same as the content of the imitation Juran painting I saw before, most of them are the same, except that there is an extra monk on a horse on the mountain path, which is different.

Moreover, the painting techniques of the two works are so similar that it is obviously impossible to say that they have nothing to do with each other.

The most important thing is that although there are differences between the two in terms of preservation, they should also be in the same vein in terms of paper and other aspects.

Seeing this situation, Shu Ze was a little stunned, and said that Meng Zitao was lucky, maybe there would be new clues to hit the door, but he didn't expect that it had only been a few days, and it had actually come true, and he was a little speechless.

Meng Zitao also sighed a little, He Wanyi told him before, whether it would be related to a real work about Fan Kuan that he got earlier (this is a later story, not to mention for the time being), he still felt impossible, and the fact is also true.

But he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, they turned a corner, and they actually found such a painting here in Su Lao, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a woman's intuition is too good.
