Chapter 620 'Three Uniques' Posthumous National Treasure - "Golden Bridge Map"
โฆโฆ
The landscape painting is 1.8 meters long and 60 centimeters wide, and the content is dominated by majestic and steep mountains.
But compared with Mr. Binhong's masterful skills, the level of this landscape painting is too far behind.
However, judging from the slightly yellowed paper of this painting, and the slight traces of insects and sweat, it should be at least some years old.
But at best, it was thirty or forty years old, coupled with the gap in level, Liang Sicheng wondered why Liu Dong wanted to buy it.
"This painting was handed down by my father, and it is an old object from the Republic of China period ......!"
"Stop, you just tell me how much it is!" Liu Dong said.
If it weren't for the author's signature on it, it is estimated that this guy would be able to blow into the heirloom of Master Binhong.
"Hehe, it's not expensive, two thousand!" the young man raised two fingers at Liu Dong.
As soon as the words fell, Liang Sicheng quit first!
ยค
"Xiaodong, let's go! I still have two thousand for this broken painting, and I don't want two hundred for me!"
"Hey, brother, I can't say that, this is an ancient painting handed down from my ancestors, and two thousand yuan is already a preferential price!"
"You're ......!"
After stopping Liang Sicheng from continuing, Liu Dong said: "Two thousand is two thousand." I want this painting!"
"Xiaodong ......!"
"Let's talk about it later!" Liu Dong motioned to Liang Sicheng to calm down for a while. He took the scroll from the young man's hand. And then the two of them drove here.
After leaving the stall for more than ten meters, Liang Sicheng, who was anxious, couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and he didn't think that Liu Dong's eyesight could not see the value of this painting.
"Lao Liang, until the end, don't jump to conclusions, this painting is not simple!" Liu Dong said with a deep trace of joy in his words.
"Isn't it simple, why can't I see it?" Liang Sicheng wondered.
"Hehe, you'll know in a moment!"
Looking at Liu Dongshen's mysterious appearance, Liang Sicheng had no intention of continuing to shop. Hurriedly pulled Liu Dong back to the hotel. He also wanted to see what kind of treasure Liu Dong, who had risen like a comet in the collection world because of his collection of Zhang Sengqiu's "Five Elements and Twenty-eight Residences" and Xue Ji's "Rui Crane Picture"!
"Liu Dong, don't sell it, tell me what's unusual about this painting!"
After nodding, Liu Dong pulled out a low table next to the window, and then put the scroll on it without opening it. Instead, he directly took out the Frost Tiger Knife.
"Hey, where did you get this knife?" Seeing Liu Dong silently take out a handful about a foot long from behind his buttocks. With a sharp black short knife, Liang Sicheng's face was full of surprise.
Such a sharp weapon is not suitable for a pocket.
"I'll sue you later!" After casually finding an excuse to send Liang Sicheng away, Liu Dong first cut off the exposed ground pole from the picture scroll.
"Liu Dong, what are you doing cutting it off, this heaven and earth two poles are the original match of this painting, and it is not broken, it will cost money to repair it in the future!" Liang Sicheng said.
"Is this painting important, or is it the secret hidden in this painting that is important?" Liu Dong couldn't stand this guy's verbosity, and he didn't have a good breath.
"Of course it's secrets!" Liang Sicheng said without thinking.
"Then shut me up!"
After appeasing Liang Sicheng, Liu Dong carefully cut off the head of the ground pole that was cut off.
Then Liu Dong put the frost tiger knife aside, then slapped the cut side downward, and soon a roll of 60 cm long and 3 cm thick yellow tarpaulin strips fell out.
"Xiaodong, there really is something!" Liang Sicheng said with surprise on his face looking at the oilcloth bag glued with wax on the edge.
"Of course!"
Just when Liang Sicheng fiddled with the oilcloth strip that Liu Dong found out, Liu Dong had already opened the picture scroll, and then after removing the heavenly rod, he also took out a oilcloth strip of the same specification and sealed with wax from it.
"Xiaodong, open it quickly and see what is inside, it must be a great antique hidden so secretly! If you can produce a famous painting, you will make a lot of money." Liang Sicheng said anxiously with a hint of envy.
After Liu Dong nodded, he used the knife in his hand to remove the wax on the surface little by little, and after removing the oilcloth outside, a layer of delicate silk cloth like the color of Buddhist scripture paper appeared in front of the two.
"This is a monofilament silk!" Liang Sicheng said excitedly.
Although I don't know the content of this yellow silk cloth, but just its material, it suddenly pushed its age to before the Tang Dynasty, because the silk after the Tang Dynasty was double silk! Moreover, after the Tang Dynasty, low-priced paper gradually became the main carrier of calligraphy and painting, and silk silk was rare!
And at this time, Liu Dong's snort was also a little heavier, because the red aura on this silk cloth was so dazzling, almost on par with Wang Xizhi's authentic work "Cold Cut Post" that he had obtained before!
Although it had been restored with relics before, Liu Dong was still cautious when it came time to unfold this precious work, for fear of causing the slightest damage to it.
"Is this Su Dongpo's promotion and seal?" Liu Dong had just unfolded less than a foot, and Liang Sicheng had already shouted excitedly.
Also, anyone who likes calligraphy and painting can't help but feel excited after seeing the handwriting of this Song Dynasty master.
"Daozi paints figures, such as taking pictures with lamps, going against the grain, and seeing the side out. Horizontal and oblique straight, multiply and divide each other, and get the natural number, which is not the same. Novelty is in the law, and the wisdom is placed outside the boldness, the so-called room for ease, and the fortune is the wind, covering the ancient and modern people...... , Daozi !!" Seeing Su Dongpo's bold notes, Liang Sicheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
Throughout the ages, those who can be called 'Daozi', except for the famous painting saint in the Tang Dynasty, there is no second place to be found throughout the ages!
"Xiaodong, can't this really be ......?" Liang Sicheng's eyes were red, and he stared at Liu Dongdao with a heavy snort.
"Don't be impatient, you'll know right away!" Liu Dong also took a few breaths before he didn't make his hands tremble too much.
After listening to his words, Liang Sicheng also hurriedly focused his attention on the scroll itself.
Soon, with Liu Dong's actions, a promotion and seal of everyone appeared!
Shen Zongqian, a native of Qianjia in the Qing Dynasty, the word Xiyuan, the mustard boat, and the Yanwan Laopu, the masterpiece of his life "Spring Dawn in the Han Palace" and "Ten Thousand Rods of Smoke and Rain" are called divine products by later generations of connoisseurs!
After the notes of this great painter of the Qing Dynasty in the past, the later Ming Dynasty masters He Liangjun and Li Rihua, the Yuan Dynasty calligraphy and painting connoisseur Tang Yuan, the Song Dynasty Xuanhe Neifu, and the 'Kaiyuan' seal representing the Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji all appeared one by one!
And there is a line of promotion next to this Kaiyuan seal, the content is: In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, the emperor pardoned the Lin De Palace, Wu Daozi, the doctor of internal education, Wei Wuxi, the general of the Shilang and Zuo Wuwei, and the Lin De Hall enshrined Chen Hong, and made the "Golden Bridge Map" in Luzhou, the emperor was very happy, and it was called the "three uniques"!
"This is the famous "Golden Bridge Map"!" Liang Sicheng almost bit his tongue.
Any qualified calligraphy and painting appraiser must have a detailed memory of the various generations in history, as well as their masterpieces and calligraphy and painting characteristics, and this is also a necessary element to become a qualified calligraphy and painting appraiser.
So whether it is Liu Dong or Liang Sicheng, although they have not seen it, they have all heard the name of "Golden Bridge Map".
In 725 A.D. (the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan), Tang Xuanzong sealed Mount Tai in the east, accompanied by Wu Daozi. Afterwards, I walked to Luzhou (now Shan-West Changzhi), drove across the golden bridge, and the royal road "twisted and turned".
Tang Xuanzong saw that "the flag is fresh and clean, and the feather guards are clean" for thousands of miles, and he was very excited in his heart, and said to the left and right attendants: "Zhang said that '300,000 soldiers, thousands of miles of banners, Shaanxi right party, as for Tai-Yuan', a real talent." "Long live left and right. So he summoned Wu Daozi, Wei Wuxi, Chen Hong, etc., and ordered the three of them to draw the "Golden Bridge Map" together.
Chen Hong mainly painted Xuanzong's true face and the white horse he rode on, Wei Wuxi mainly painted dogs and horses, mules and donkeys, cattle and sheep and other animals, while bridges, landscapes, chariots, people, grass and trees, geese and birds, utensils, curtains and other themes were painted by Wu Daozi.
After the painting of "Golden Bridge Map", "the time is called the three uniques".
Wu Daozi, a generation of 'painting saints', no one does not know!
Although Wei Wuxi is not known by many people in modern times, he was also a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Wuxi was known for his ability to draw horses and strange beasts. At that time, he praised Wei Wuxi's painting and said: "There is nothing bad about the four-legged animals painted by Wei Wuxi. โ
Wei Wuxi once painted a lion offered by a foreigner, which was very similar to his lion, and the beasts were terrified when they saw the lion in the painting.
At that time, it was said that only one stroke could make people identify its temperament, and only one of its manes could make people know its name, which the ancients could not do in the past, and only Wei Wuxi could have such a high attainment.
In the Song Dynasty's "Xuanhe Painting", there are also many descriptions of Wei Wuxi's paintings.
Chen Hong is also no less than Wei Wuxi's master of Chinese painting, good at painting portraits, part-time figures, portraits, pommel horses, painted portraits of the emperor is known as 'the best contemporary'. At that time, it was second only to Yan Liben, who was as famous as Wu Daozi in the early Tang Dynasty!
However, there is only one "Eight Princes" handed down by Chen Hong's original handiwork in modern times, which is now in the Nelson Museum of Art in the United States, depicting the portraits of 8 people such as Sun Song, the prince of Nanping in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Hou Xijin of Shanyang, and only 6 people remain today, all standing in a horizontal row.
But whether this painting is Chen Hong's authentic work is still controversial.
However, with Liu Dong's "Golden Bridge Map", comparing it with Chen Hong's authentic handwriting, it will definitely be able to provide strong evidence for the authenticity of "Eight Princes"!
Because the length of "Golden Bridge Map" is too large, Liu Dong had to put it on the bed, but before it was halfway unfolded, the bed was not long enough, and in the end, the two could only roll it while reading. (To be continued......)
