The person Tang Feng said is Zhang Daqian, when it comes to the Chinese painting world, there are two famous people who have to say, this is the Southern Zhang and Northern Qi, and the Southern Zhang and Northern Qi refer to Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi respectively.

Zhang Daqian's original name was Zhang Zhengquan, also known as Zhang Zhan, the word Ji Zhan, the name Daqian, alias Daqian Jushi, Xia Riba people, and the name Dafengtang. He is the most legendary master of Chinese painting in the 20th century, whether it is painting, calligraphy, seal carving, poetry and everything. His painting style is a combination of fine brushwork and freehand, heavy color, ink and wash fusion, and splash ink and splash color techniques have created a new style of painting art.

"Hey, I should have thought it was Zhang Daqian. Chen Yan said: "If it is his imitation, it is more valuable than the original work." ”

To say that fakes are more valuable than genuine works does not mean that Zhang Daqian's painting skills are necessarily higher than Shi Tao's, but according to the price trend of Zhang Daqian's original works. In 1994, China Guardian International Auction Company auctioned off an antique landscape painting by Zhang Daqian, although it was not a fine product, but the transaction price was as high as 1.9 million yuan, and the 1.9 million yuan in 1994 was much more valuable than the 1.9 million yuan in 2009.

Tang Feng then explained to them that Shi Tao's painting style is unique, and it is difficult for latecomers to imitate it, and most of the counterfeiters are two-brush brushes, with inferior skills, and it is easy to distinguish the real from the fake. The only successful imitation of Shi Tao is Zhang Daqian, and his imitation is almost real, which is why the two experts couldn't see the flaws at first, and mistakenly thought that this "Autumn Landscape Map" was Shi Tao's authentic work.

The three of them chatted and chatted devotedly, the meal time passed quickly, Tang Feng and Lin Muyu cleaned up the table together, Lin Muyu made them tea, and sat down herself, of course she didn't forget the topic just now, she asked Tang Fengdao: "Then what is your basis?"

Tang Feng frowned and said, "It's hard to explain this, when I first saw this painting, I thought it was Shi Tao's authentic handiwork, and after seeing it, I thought it was a fake." In the end, I began to suspect that this painting was an antique painting by Zhang Daqian from those two calligraphy and painting seals. Because Mr. Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and painting seals before his later years were all engraved by himself, I have done a special inductive study of several of his early calligraphy and painting seals. In this painting, the two calligraphy and painting seals of 'Old Man of Qingxiang' and 'Yuanji Calligraphy and Painting' have many similarities in handwriting and carving with Zhang Daqian's early 'Zhang Ji', 'Zhang Ji' and 'Ah Ai'. ”

This is actually the identification method of the handwriting genre, but Tang Feng's determination that this painting is Zhang Daqian's antique work is based on more than that. Tang Feng couldn't explain many things clearly to Lin Muyu and Chen Yan, so he could only answer in general terms, Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's painting had reached the point where it was full of form and spirit, and it was true with falsehood; compared with the imitation of the painting itself, Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's calligraphy handwriting was lowered by a notch; relative to the imitation of calligraphy handwriting, Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's seal carving was lowered by another notch. When these three grades appear on the same painting in a stepped manner, it is not difficult to judge the authenticity. But this is not the main basis for Tang Feng to identify the authenticity of this painting, one thing, even Tang Feng himself has to admit that his level in the scope of art appraisal is not as good as those two experts, but his technical appraisal is higher than those two experts.

The technical appraisal is the watershed between the two sides making two completely different appraisal results. The texture of this painting is not paper but silk, Tang Feng played the most critical role in the technical identification of the silk, the silk looks no different from the ancient silk, but Tang Feng found a trace of salt stains on the back of the silk, which is the traces left by the forgery of the silk. This method of painting silk is to soak the new silk in salt water for a period of time, and then put it in clean water to remove the salt stain, and then expose it to the scorching sun. However, no matter how much you soak it in water, the salt stain still cannot be completely removed, and after a long time, a trace of salt stain will appear on the back of the silk.

The old Republic of China painting silk, which is the same as Shi Tao's authentic painting, can only be done by Zhang Daqian. After the technical appraisal, the two experts and Tang Feng's appraisal have different directions, the two experts are imitating Shi Tao's fake, while Tang Feng is distinguishing Zhang Daqian's truth, the direction is not the same, and the results are diametrically opposite.

Although Tang Feng's language is plain and can be regarded as simple to understand, Chen Yan and Lin Muyu still have some ignorance, but they are really happy for Tang Feng, as long as he can pick up the leak, it is a good thing.

In the evening, Tang Feng and Chen Yan came to Fan Chengru's house together, and soon after ringing the doorbell, the door of Fan's house opened, and the person who opened the door was not Fan Chengru, but the young woman Tang Feng met in Beijing Antique City last time.

"Second brother. The woman smiled slightly, she looked at Tang Feng and asked Chen Yan, "Is that his Tian Huangshi?"

Tang Feng looked at the young woman quietly, she was really beautiful, no matter her figure or appearance, she was not inferior to Lin Muyu and Liu Yue, and she was even slightly better in temperament. However, Tang Feng was not in the mood to appreciate her, she blamed Chen Yan for having nothing to do and tossing last time, and making a stone to make their old man enchanted, and now, the owner of the stone is in front of her, and it is entirely possible for her to count Tang Feng down.

"Yes, it's his. After Chen Yan introduced Tang Feng to this woman, he turned to Tang Feng and said: "She is my uncle's granddaughter, Fan Ziyun, the star host of the TV station. ”

Tang Feng nodded secretly, no wonder he was so temperamental, it turned out to be practiced in front of the camera lens, Fan Ziyun said hello to Tang Feng generously and decently, after that, she looked back behind her, lowered her voice and said: "Second brother, didn't I tell you a long time ago? Don't send wine to our old man, his old man is not in good health, but he prefers to be greedy for cups, and our family is completely banning alcohol." ”

Tang Feng had a fever on his face, this unconsciously caused trouble again, his grandfather took a sip, and he naturally sent cigarettes and alcohol to Fan Chengru.

"No?" Chen Yan shook his head and said, "We all said yes......"

"Girl, what are you muttering?" Fan Chengru walked out of the study over there, and Fan Ziyun said softly: "Don't mention the wine, I confiscated the wine yesterday and was angry." Then, he raised his voice and politely said to Chen Yan and Tang Feng, "Please come in." ”

The two walked into Fan's house, and Chen Yan said, "Uncle Shi, how are you doing lately?"

"Well, that's it. Tang Feng left a good impression on Fan Chengru, and he specially greeted Tang Feng and said, "Xiao Tang is here, sit down." ”

Tang Feng and Chen Yan sat down on the sofa next to the coffee table, Chen Yan and Fan Cheng were like uncles and nephews when they saw each other, and it was inevitable that they would ask for warmth, Tang Feng here was anxious but couldn't show it, so he had to promise without a word.
