Zheng Anzhi criticized with a smile: "You are all else, but you treat things too casually, after all, you are a native of Lingshi City, and a member of the Antique Association, and you are the banner of the Lingshi antique industry to the outside world, so you should speak out more within the association and make more constructive suggestions. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Meng Zitao laughed dryly: "It's not because I have too many things to do, I often have to run outside." ”

Zheng Anzhi said angrily: "What is the conflict between the matter and this matter, you see your Uncle Wang, don't you run out all the time, doesn't he perform the vice president very well? Besides, the affairs of this association are generally handled by the president and the secretary, if you become the vice president, you only want you to make decisions on key matters, and now it is so convenient to contact, is it difficult to make a phone call or video conference?"

Zheng Anzhi continued: "Of course, this is your business, and I don't want to force it. ”

Meng Zitao was silent for a moment and said: "Master, I think I am wrong, and I will contribute to the antique world of Ling City in the future." ”

After all, he is still a member of the antique industry in Lingshi, of course, he wants to make the city's antique market prosperous, and in addition, he is more utilitarian, which will also help his position in the antique world.

And some things are mutual, they make a contribution to the antique industry in Lingshi, and they will naturally be respected by antique practitioners in Lingshi, on the contrary, they have not made any contributions, why should others respect themselves?

Zheng Anzhi said with a smile: "It's good that you can understand, in addition, when you go back to the capital next time, don't forget to go to the Calligraphy Association, they are waiting for you with stars and moons." ”

"Okay. Meng Zitao smiled and nodded.

…………

In the next few days, Meng Zitao has been busy, not to mention the work that needs to be dealt with before, and there are some miscellaneous things, some of which belong to personal contacts, and he is not easy to refuse.

Soon, the exchange meeting held by the Lingshi Antique Association is about to begin, the day before, Wang Zhixuan invited Meng Zitao to the Antique Association to discuss things, mainly to invite Meng Zitao to be the judge of the treasure fighting link, Meng Zitao thought about it and agreed.

After parking the car, Meng Zitao and Wang Zhixuan walked towards the building where the Antique Association was located.

took the elevator upstairs, and several directors of the antique association had already arrived, but the presidents and vice presidents of the two associations, Ziming and Xi Zhengzhen, had not arrived.

Speaking of which, Xi Zhengzhen has disappeared during this time, and he doesn't know what he's been doing during this time, and he has no sense of existence at all.

Meng Zitao sometimes wonders if Xi Zhengzhen is holding back his big move, but even if he really has to hold back his big move, he is not worried at all, it is just that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

In addition to several directors, Qing Wenhua also arrived, and he was mainly responsible for the identification of calligraphy works in this treasure fight.

Speaking of which, the plaque of Meng Zitao's antique shop is still written by Qing Wenhua, and Meng Zitao is also quite polite to him.

Qing Wenhua smiled and said, "Xiao Meng, you are really hidden!"

Meng Zitao hurriedly waved his hand: "Young man, don't say that, to be honest, I also suddenly opened my mind, otherwise, you say that at my age, can I have such achievements as I am now?"

Qing Wenhua smiled and shook his head: "I can't say that, I saw that you were very good at regular writing, and you already have a lot of style, but I didn't pull down my face to contact you and discuss it with you, otherwise, maybe my level can also be improved." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Let's not be in a hurry, as long as I have time in the future, I will definitely come to visit you often, do you think it's okay?"

Qing Wenhua laughed and said: "Of course I don't want it, but you have your own career, I don't want to delay your time, as long as we can communicate for a day or two, I will be satisfied." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Then let's decide." ”

Lu Wenwei next to him smiled and said, "Let's discuss, can you notify me then, I also want to learn." ”

Now that Lu Wenwei came out, the others next to him also expressed their desire to participate.

Originally, Meng Zitao and Qing Wenhua were both easier to talk to, and this kind of exchange was the most suitable for about three or five friends, and both of them said they had no opinion.

"Guys, what are you so happy about? Yu Ziming was finally late, and there was also a middle-aged man beside him who was relatively unfamiliar to Meng Zitao, who had a fat head and big ears, and stood with everyone, not like a fellow traveler at all.

Lu Wenwei has a relatively straight personality, and he will show any likes and dislikes in his heart, and when he saw Yu Ziming bring a stranger over, he immediately said: "President Yu, we have an internal exchange meeting today." ”

Yu Ziming snorted: "Let me introduce you first, this is Mr. Li Shixiong, he was originally from Yan Province, he has been working hard in our Ling City all these years, contributing to the construction of the city, and joined the household registration of Ling City last year." Mr. Li himself likes to collect calligraphy works, has a good reward ability, and the calligraphy level is also quite high, so I want to join our antique association, I don't know if you have any opinions?"

"As long as he meets the requirements for membership, of course we don't have a problem. Everyone present said so.

Yu Ziming smiled and said, "Okay, let's handle Mr. Li's membership now, or discuss the affairs of the Doubao Exchange Meeting first?"

A director next to him said: "Let's take care of the matter of joining the club first, and then let's not let people wait." ”

Everyone said they had no opinion.

Due to the large number of antique associations, the association has reformulated the requirements for new members to join the association, and has implemented them this year.

The new membership process is simple and simple, as long as there is a member who recommends, you are eligible to join, of course, if the person does something unfavorable to the antique association after joining, the referrer will also be punished.

After the applicant for membership obtains the qualification for membership, he will be assessed by at least three directors of the association, one is that the person must have three fine antiques, or a good collection; second, the person must have a deep understanding of his own collection, and must also pass the examiner's questions about the item he is doing, if there is no problem, the person will be successful.

Of course, there is a special case, the applicant only has some shallow knowledge of antiques, but he may make a great contribution to the promotion of the antique industry in Lingshi, and can be discussed by the managers of a number of associations through an expanded meeting, and if everyone feels that there is no problem, they can apply for membership.

In fact, to put it simply, this is also an opening for some wealthy bosses to join the association.

Li Shixiong had already passed Yu Ziming to know the conditions for joining the club, and he was also full of confidence and took out what he brought.

It's a painting, and before it has been opened, you can tell from its mottled paper that the painting should be some years old.

Li Shixiong wore gloves and carefully opened his painting, and a painting of flowers and birds suddenly came into everyone's eyes.

A manager looked at the part where the payment was made, and was suddenly taken aback, and exclaimed: "This is the work of Qian Xuan, Qian Shunju?!"

Li Shixiong said a little proudly: "Yes, this painting is Qian Xuan's "Crowd Fang Offering Ruitu". ”

Qian Xuan was a famous painter in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and was known as "Wuxing Bajun" together with Zhao Mengfu and others. Qian Xuancai is very knowledgeable, and has written many books, including "The Analects of Confucius", "The Treatise of the Spring and Autumn Period", "The Examination of Easy Speaking" and "The Balance of Secrets". In addition, the most praised by the world is his achievements in painting.

Qian Xuan's achievements in flower and bird painting are the most prominent, and his paintings pursue the traditional patriarchal method, inherit the relics of the two Song dynasties, take the rhyme of the Jin and Tang dynasties, and combine his unique literati temperament to create a kind of flower and bird painting that is both realistic and integrates the emotions of the literati.

His mature flower and bird paintings, on the basis of courtyard paintings, absorb the techniques of Yang Wuyi's school of ink and flowers, and create a new physique. His landscape paintings are known for their blue and green colors, a variant of landscape that originated from Dong Yuan, which opened the precursor of ink landscape painting in the Yuan Dynasty. Qian Xuan is also good at drawing figures, and his style is more clumsy.

He also further developed the tradition of inscribed poems and texts in literati paintings, and most of the works that have been handed down have their own inscriptions or poems, which were widely adopted by later literati painters, and gradually formed a distinctive feature of the close combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting. Advocating morale theory and advocating family painting, these ideas had a great influence on later generations of literati painting.

When I heard that it was Qian Xuan's work, everyone's hearts were shocked, and their mentality also changed, and they were undoubtedly more cautious than just now.

This painting depicts flowers such as peonies, poppies, okra, lilies, and moon seasons, with butterflies, dragonflies, bees, grasshoppers, frogs and other grass insects.

In addition, in addition to Qian Xuan's seals, there are also many ancient people's seals on the scroll, which adds strong evidence to prove the authenticity of this painting.

As time passed, everyone carefully appreciated this work one by one, some people showed admiration on their faces, some people were expressionless, and some people showed doubts on their faces.

No matter what everyone's expressions are, Li Shixiong is still an old god, and he is not worried about his things at all.

Wang Zhixuan was the first to speak: "Xiao Tao, why don't you talk about it first?"

Everyone expressed no opinion on Wang Zhixuan's proposal, not to mention that Meng Zitao had the highest reputation outside, and he was the youngest present, even if there was a problem, everyone could remedy it.

Seeing that everyone asked Meng Zitao to say first, Li Shixiong, who didn't know Meng Zitao, was a little puzzled: "May I ask who this is?"

Lu Wenwei said angrily: "Don't you even know the most basic aspects of our antique association?"

Yu Ziming hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, this is the teacher Mengzi Tao Meng that you have been talking about. ”

Li Shixiong made a sudden appearance: "It turned out to be Mr. Meng, it's really better to see it for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be younger in real life." ”

Meng Zitao said politely, although the two cooperated seamlessly, he could still detect that Li Shixiong should not have understood himself before. In Ling City, there are really few people like Li Shixiong.

However, this was not important to Mencius, and after a few perfunctory words, he was ready to start commenting on the painting.

"Mr. Li, before commenting, I would like to remind you that if you use this painting to join the association, unless there are special circumstances, the painting cannot be transferred at will within two years, and the origin of this country must be innocent. Do you have any opinion on this?"

"Of course not, I bought this painting from the auction market, and I have no intention of transferring it in a short period of time. ”

"That's fine. ”

Meng Zitao nodded and began to talk eloquently: "Qian Xuan's flower and bird paintings are as Dong Qichang said: 'The precision is extreme, and there is morale. Although it is a fine brush and color, in fact, it is far from the courtyard painting of the Song Dynasty, especially compared with the courtyard technique of the Southern Song Dynasty, it already contains more "freehand" elements. ”

From his masterpieces "Eight Flowers" and "Peach Branch Squirrel Picture", Qian Xuan's flower and bird painting style characteristics can be reflected. In his expression of flower and bird paintings, he discarded the languid, delicate, and depicting factors in court flower and bird paintings, and replaced them with the "relaxed" sentiment of literati brushwork. ”

Qian Xuan's paintings are simple and cold, which is more evident in his paintings of flowers and birds. His paintings of flowers and birds are basically on paper, and the composition is mainly 'folded branches' and 'long scrolls', reflecting an aesthetic fashion at the time. This kind of small-scale painting is convenient for literati painters with full literati popularity to express their emotions anytime and anywhere, and in addition, this kind of simple composition and exquisite painting method can well express the essence of objects, and the sparse painting style also meets the aesthetic requirements of literati painting. ”

For example, Qian Xuan's "Flowers and Birds" long scroll, depicting several different flowers, adopts a three-section folded branch composition, and each paragraph has the author's own title, so it is also called "Flowers and Birds Three-section Volume". Successively respectively are the peach spring bird, white peony, wax moon plum blossom, the line in this picture is light and soft, the edge line of the leaf is more wavy, although the line of the petals is not separated from the image, but also loose at will, especially the bud that has not been released, no longer concerned with his fullness. ”

This kind of broken branch composition seems simple and the layout is mediocre, but the white peony shows a more ideal effect through the processing of the relationship between virtual and real. This kind of rhythmic relationship between primary and secondary virtual reality, the interspersing of flowers and leaves, and the management of texture techniques are strange in the ordinary, giving people a new artistic feeling of elegance and refinement. ”

"In one of the peach spring bird paintings, the flower branches occupy a small area of the picture, the picture is empty, the flower branches are delicate, and the shape of the bird is thin, standing on the branches, contemplating into the distance, leading the viewer's attention to the outside of the painting......"

In addition, let's talk about paper, the paper of the real handwriting is delicate, the front is smooth, the fibers are interwoven finely, the thickness is uniform, the soft and easy to ink, and the life is long and moth-resistant, so people use cotton paper or "silkworm cocoon paper" to be called the best in the paper. ”
