Chapter 337: The Treasure of the Town Pavilion "Manjushri Spiritual Descent Map"

……

In traditional Chinese painting, a size of more than 5 feet is already considered large, while a large number of paintings and calligraphy over 10 feet are rare. The calligraphy and painting that can reach nearly 30 square feet in front of www.biquge.info pen and fun pavilion are rare since ancient times, and each one is a rare treasure in the painting.

Moreover, the "Manjushri Descent Map" in front of him is still the true handiwork of Lu Tanwei, the ancestor of the painting world.

"It's unimaginable!"

While Wang Zheng was amazed in his heart, he was also seriously appreciating the whole picture.

The dark yellow almost brown monofilament silk reveals a strange and ancient atmosphere, eighty large and small, there are high-crowned and broad-banded, flying attendants in clothes, and there are also people from the Western Regions who are entrusted with skeletons and bowls, dressed as monks, and in the middle of the scroll are four flying gods. The surrounding clouds are vast, the prayer flags are dense, and the characters are dotted with rare birds and beasts, revealing the solemnity and heaviness of the religious style in the elegant, which makes people feel a kind of mystery through the ages.

Looking at him, Wang Zheng seemed to see Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Atlas" and Wu Daozi's "Eighty-Seven Immortal Scrolls"! This Lu Tanwei's "Manjushri Spiritual Map" seems to be a combination of the two, with both Wu Dai's bearing and Gu Kai's three unique bones. It's wonderful.

However, Lu Tanwei's authentic works are really rare, like stars in the sky, which cannot be touched but cannot be obtained. Therefore, even if he was intoxicated with the artistic conception of this famous painting, Wang Zheng still asked Wang Sen with some unease: "Is this painting the real work of Lu Tanwei?" ”

"It's true!" Wang Sen nodded excitedly.

Although there were no paintings and calligraphy by Lu Tanwei before this painting, some of the characteristics of his paintings have been handed down with books such as "Catalogue of Ancient Paintings", "Catalogue of Continued Paintings", "Records of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties", and "Xuanhe Paintings". In history, Lu Tanwei's handwriting is meticulous, known as "dense body", to distinguish it from Zhang Seng Xuan and Wu Daozi's "sparse body". The lines are sharp and straight, strong and powerful, and are praised by later generations as "sharp handwriting, such as a cone knife". He absorbed Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy with brushwork, using a continuous line, creating a kind of "before and after pregnancy, ancient and modern independence" one-stroke painting method, the gestures are continuous, and the whole painting is completed in one go, which is full of praise. Lu Tanwei's lines were once called "one-stroke paintings" because they were "continuous". ”

"Boss, you see, whether it's a 'dense body' or a 'one-stroke painting', you can find it from this painting. In addition, there is also Gu Kaizhi here, as well as his son Lu Sui's knowledge! ”

"There is also this 'Lu Gongshen Lingxuan, moving with the gods...... The husband is like a human style, and Zhang Yayu is also Gu Lu. Hanlin enshrined, the right to lead the government soldiers Cao to join the army Zhang', this is the Tang Dynasty calligrapher, calligraphy theorist Zhang Huaijun's pen, Hanlin worship and the right to lead the government soldiers Cao to join the army is his official position. ”

"Here's this 'Zhang Zhi learned Cui Ying Dudu's cursive method, so it changed...... Lu Tan is slightly profitable, new and wonderful, famous in the Song Dynasty, and there is no equal. It is the evaluation of Lu Tanwei by Zhang Yanyuan, a painter and painting theorist in the late Tang Dynasty, in his "Catalogue of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties", and his knowledge is also here. ”

"In addition, there are 73 official and private names and promotions in the past dynasties, such as the Southern Song Dynasty Inner Mansion, the Yuan Inner Mansion, the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Ming Dynasty, and Fang Xun, one of the 'Xiling Eight Families' of the Qing Dynasty, which can be called an orderly inheritance, and it must be the true work of Lu Tanwei!"

Nodding his head, after glancing at the scroll, Wang Zheng said in surprise: "Then why is the color of the front and back parts of this painting different from the middle?" ”

"Boss, the middle part is Lu Tanwei's original painting, which has been handed down for more than a thousand years, and the monofilament silk is darker. The left and right parts are the silk that the descendants continued to put on in order to be able to leave a style and seal on this painting! Because the time of inheritance is different, the color is different. ”

"I see!" Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, this "Manjushri Spiritual Map" must be Lu Tanwei's real handiwork?" Wang Zheng's eyes lit up.

"100 percent yes!"

Wang Sen's self-confidence made the only doubt in Wang Zheng's heart disappear, and he was full of joy at the moment.

"Now our Taoyuan Museum Painting and Calligraphy Museum finally has a real treasure of the town!" Wang Zheng said excitedly.

"Congratulations boss, I got a big leak!" Wang Qian said with a smile.

"Hehe, haha, rejoice, rejoice! However, this time we were able to pick up such a big leak, thanks to Wang Sen. After patting him on the shoulder, "Say, Komoriko, what kind of reward do you want?" ”

"It's my pleasure to serve the boss, and the reward doesn't have to be. But I hope my boss will promise me one thing! ”

"You say? As long as I can do it, no problem! ”

After nodding, Wang Sen said, "I beg the boss, allow me to repair this Lu Tanwei's "Manjushri Descent Map"!" ”

"Of course you can fix it. But I see that this painting is good, except for the old point, there is no damage, do you still need to repair it? ”

"Of course it needs to be fixed! The painting was restored before it was hidden. But judging by the traces of its preservation, it has not been maintained for half a century. A lot of mildew and dust have been added in the middle, and if you want to more perfectly reproduce the style of Lu's 'one-stroke painting' and 'dense body', you must carefully repair it! ”

"In that case, then the restoration of this painting will be handed over to you!"

"Thank you, boss, for the restoration effect of this painting, please also ask the young master to give me a little 'art restoration liquid'!"

"No problem!"

Wang Zheng nodded happily, this kind of 'art restoration liquid' obtained from the Shennong system can better preserve the toughness of the art fiber, and the surface glaze and pigment are not oxidized. Although it is not possible to restore the pigments and glazes that have disappeared or fallen off, the effect of preserving and maintaining them is thousands of times stronger than that of modern medicines of the same type.

If Wang Zheng wants to keep his museum's collection alive for thousands of years and still have the same style, it is necessary to use this 'art restoration liquid'!

"Also, the painting is too valuable, and I'm not good at fighting. Therefore, I also hope that the boss can send a bodyguard to guard this ancient painting here! ”

"It's simple, I'll call Uncle Zhong later, and ask him to drop a bodyguard for you!"

"Thank you boss!"

Wang Zheng nodded, "How long will it take you to restore this painting and reframe it?" ”

"At least a month!"

"A month, so long?"

"Boss, the size of this painting is too big. Moreover, its value is so high that every step of the way has to be taken with extra care to fix, so it takes a lot of time! ”

"So, you can't go to Panjiayuan with me to dig for treasure in the future?" Wang Zheng said somewhat disappointed.

"Please forgive the boss!"

"Forget it, the sky and the earth are big, and now they are not as big as it. This month, you can restore this Manjushri Diagram here with peace of mind! ”

For an afternoon, Wang Zheng did not leave Taoyuanju again. Usually, he is not interested in collecting antiques, but he magically surrounds this ancient painting, admiring it back and forth thousands of times, and after five or six hours, he still never gets tired of looking at it. After its edification, Wang Zheng consciously increased his interest in collecting antiques a lot.

Because he was too drunk, he almost missed the dinner he had with Shen Bing. And the reason for being late made Miss Shen very angry, although she was persuaded by Wang Zheng in the end, but his original plan, the plan for the two to go to Wushan together was also ruined.

After returning to Taoyuanju, Wang Cheng, who had been waiting here for half an hour, won.

"Boss, the negotiations with Poly Auction House have come to an end!"

"Oh? Let's talk about it! Wang Zheng's spirit was shocked, although Qi Baishi's "Landscape Twelve Screens" is not as good as Lu Tanwei's "Manjushri Descent Map", but it is also a set of important treasures in the painting with amazing value!

After talking from Chang'an to the capital for nearly a week, Wang Zheng certainly hoped to have a satisfactory result.

"Speaking of now, Poly Auction House has given us two choices!" Wangcheng Road.

"Two options? Which two? ”

"First, the price of the whole set of "Twelve Screens of Landscapes" is 850 million, with a commission of 3.8%; Installment payment, repayment period of half a year, down payment of 300 million; Two months later, 200 million were returned; Two hundred million will be returned after four months; Half a year later, the remaining 150 million will be returned together with 32.8 million commissions; Before all the amounts are paid, the entire set of "Twelve Screens of Landscapes" will be kept by Poly Auction House! ”

"And what about the second option?" After nodding thoughtfully, Wang Zheng asked.

"The second option, after we sign the contract, pays in full. The condition is that the price of the entire set of landscape paintings drops to 780 million, and the commission is three points! ”

"Seven hundred and eighty million? Three points? ”

"Yes!"

"This is the last condition for Poly to sell the bank?"

"I feel that the other party's attitude is very resolute, and it should be the last condition! After all, the value of the entire set of Qi Baishi's "Twelve Screens of Landscapes" is there! ”

"yes!" Wang Zheng nodded with a sigh, "Twelve landscape paintings, each of which is about 8.5 square feet, according to the price of 2.1 million per square foot of the old man Baishi, the price of each of the twelve landscapes is nearly 20 million." What's more, this is not a single painting, but a set of twelve masterpieces, and there are only two sets in the world! The price is even higher! ”

"Boss, which plan should we choose?" After giving Wang Zheng a moment to think about it, Wang Cheng asked.

Which set? If there is a choice, Wang Zheng is of course willing to choose the second set, after all, it has saved nearly 80 million funds. But he really can't afford to spend 800 million yuan.

"In addition to this set of "Twelve Screens of Landscapes", there are also the Li family collections that I went to see today, "Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup", "Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Round Wash", "Kangxi Blue and White Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup", plus 300 pieces of high-end official kiln porcelain. There are so many good things, I really don't want to give up on every single one! Wang Zheng said in his heart.
