After doing all kinds of materials with Mrs. Feng, Huo Sining stayed in Jin City for a day, and with the old lady's documents, Huo Sining rushed to the imperial capital non-stop, and when she arrived in the capital, she called Gu Xuliu's phone number. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The person on the other end of the phone had probably been told by Gu Xu, and he was not surprised to receive Huo Sining's call, and asked Huo Sining's specific address very politely, so he drove over, took the old lady's documents, and asked Huo Sining to wait for his news.

Huo Sining didn't ask how long it would take, thanked him and separated from this person.

When she arrived in the imperial capital, she first had to go to see the old people of Huang Lu and Gu San's family, and after each family had left, Huo Sining went to Zhou Shitao and handed over the bag of Jinsu Mountain Tibetan scripture paper and the ancient painting suspected of Li Tang that she had found in the East to her master.

Zhou Shitao's eyes flashed after seeing the bag of Song paper, and he couldn't wait to keep the paper as his own, Huo Sining also knew that his master had made a small achievement in calligraphy and painting, so he was not surprised to see his master's expression, and she also had her own plans, thinking that when her master celebrated his birthday next year, she would give him this paper as a birthday gift, so as not to keep him from worrying.

After Zhou Shitao finished the bag of Song paper, and then looked at Huo Sining's ancient painting that seemed to be Li Tang, Zhou Shitao's eyes were fixed on this ancient painting again, and he was reluctant to move away.

"Do you see whose work this painting is?"

Zhou Shitao was a little surprised, looking at Huo Sining's eyes with a bit of scrutiny, as if he didn't expect Huo Sining to make such great progress.

Huo Sining suddenly felt embarrassed, scratched the back of her head, and told the origin of this painting and the Jinsu Mountain Tibetan scripture paper, saying that the peddler sold the painting to herself in a daze, and she also took the **** luck, and actually returned to China to find that the painting was strange.

"What's weird?" Zhou Shitao asked with a smile.

Huo Sining said: "The literati and scholars of the past dynasties, the dignitaries and nobles, were very particular about the four treasures of the study, especially the paper, and the invention of papermaking in the late Western Han Dynasty was also the product of this demand. ”

"I remember Master, you said that paper is very important for writing and painting, and its texture and water absorption directly affect the effect of calligraphy and painting creation. ”

The ancient painting in front of him, regardless of how well he painted, but from the paper alone, the quality of this painting paper is definitely in the forefront in the history of Chinese printing, although it is not as good as the Jinsu Mountain Tibetan scripture paper, but it is also almost the same. ”

"Lu You once wrote in the poem "Autumn Qing": 'Yunyu inkstone should be ink-colored, and cold gold paper is smooth to help poetry. 'A page of Song paper, a tael of gold, this painting paper, if I guess correctly, should be the Song Dynasty famous paper cold gold paper, this kind of paper, is the great love of the Southern Song Dynasty geniuses. ”

"Historically, such as Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, Li Yu, etc., they all loved rice paper, and even had their own customized products. This ancient painting has no inscription or seal, but in the corner of this painting, there is a golden stamp the size of a small thumb, which reads Xuanhe. ”

"In ancient times, there was a relationship with the word 'Xuanhe', I'm afraid there was only the Xuanhe Painting Institute established by Song Huizong, the Xuanhe Painting Institute is the palace painting academy, this stamp, it means that this paper belongs to the special palace system, and it is impossible for ordinary people to use it for private use, which proves that the person who painted this painting should also be the person of the Xuanhe Painting Academy. ”

"Song Huizong's requirements for recruiting painting talents are strict and harsh, and being able to enter the Xuanhe Painting Academy proves that this person is not a good person, and he is definitely not a nameless person, but I don't know why, this painting did not leave a seal and inscription. ”

Hearing Huo Sining's reasonable and well-founded analysis, Zhou Shitao couldn't help but nod again and again:

"Your estimation is indeed very careful, although you do not have a deep study in ancient calligraphy and painting, but you know that another way, from the drawing paper as the starting point, this identification method is a smart way. ”

"Your analysis is also in place, Chinese painting pays attention to the five colors of ink, especially the splash of ink freehand, the ink diluted by water on the paper, will quickly spread around, on good paper, the water goes away and the ink remains, can be separated from the thick to light levels, so the choice of painting paper becomes particularly important. ”

"This painting paper does belong to the Song Huizong period, Song Huizong attaches great importance to calligraphy and painting, so he also pays special attention to these details, the painting paper provided by the painting academy is the best paper at that time, and the cold gold paper is the best choice for ink painting. ”

As for the author of this painting, if you look through everyone in the Southern Song Dynasty, you can know that this person's name is Li Tang, and the most famous allusion is that he participated in the competition of the painting academy and was appointed by Song Huizong as the top of that year. ”

At that time, Li Tang painted this famous painting called the restaurant seller by the bamboo lock bridge. Because of the use of virtual and realistic composition, this painting has a far-reaching artistic conception and leads people to reverie, and it was immediately noticed by Song Huizong at that time, and he was directly included in the Xuanhe Painting Academy. ”

"As for why you said there was no seal and inscription, it was related to the examination system of the painting academy at that time, when the painting academy was directly managed by Song Huizong, he required candidates to paint when they could not leave any handwriting on the answer sheet to show their identity, just like today's college entrance examination, after the candidate's painting is completed, the examiner will seal it uniformly, and only hang a numbered plate representing the student's name on the scroll. ”

"This is a painting, and it is also an exam answer sheet, so the inscription and seal of this painting are blank, and it can be seen from this detail that this painting is not an imitation, it should indeed be Li Tang's handwriting. ”

"I have also seen a pair of works in Li Tang's later years, to simplify the complex, with the pen sharp, to create a 'big axe' crack, the painted stone is hard, the three-dimensional sense is strong, the painting water is particularly powerful, there is a vortex turbulent interest, this painting is compared to the brushwork is a little complicated and immature, but there is indeed the shadow of Li Tang's painting style, the painting shape can be copied, but the painting style is something that others can't imitate. ”

Huo Sining agrees with this very much, just like a person's handwriting, no matter how similar it is, but the wind and bones can't be learned.

After communicating with Zhou Shitao, Huo Sining felt as if she had learned a lot of things, cramming teaching methods may not be suitable for others, but for Huo Sining, her extraordinary memory, even if she didn't understand at the time, she can still remember every sentence of Zhou Shitao clearly in her mind, so that she can reminisce from time to time in her spare time, regurgitate and chew, and digest slowly.

took the fake secret color porcelain bowl from Zhou Shitao's hand, and after Huo Sining came out, he took out his mobile phone and called Ouyang Jun: "Hey, Brother Ouyang, what you want has already arrived in the imperial capital." (To be continued.) )
