Chapter 1124 Treasures of Calligraphy and Painting
……
"'Fifteen into the Han Palace, smiling and smiling. The king chooses jade color, and sleeps in the golden screen. 'This is Yu Shinan's "Song of Resentment"?" After seeing the contents of the scroll, Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised.
But what surprised him even more was still to come, "Old Qi, this ...... This is the original work of Yu Shinan's "Song of Resentment"?"
Liu Dong is very familiar with Yu Shinan's "Song of Resentment", and he has also copied the handwriting of this five-character ancient poem, but compared with this ancient poem, which is only a few crosses, the number and number of words and the number of words promoted and sealed by the descendants on this scroll are several times more than the original, or even more than ten times! Among them, there are many famous writers such as Su Shi, Cai Jing, Dong Qichang, and Wang Shimin! From the perspective of appreciation, this can be called an orderly inheritance!
It is also enough to see its preciousness!
"That's right! This authentic painting of Yu Shinan's "Song of Resentment" has been in my hands for thirty or forty years!" Qi Lao replied with emotion.
Liu Dong has some knowledge of Qi Lao's life. In that chaotic era, Qi Lao was tortured by the Red Guards for writing, and if it weren't for the virtuous wife by his side, I am afraid that the old man would have been dead long ago! Moreover, these treasured paintings and calligraphy have already been burned!
It's just that the early death of his wife is also an irreparable wound in the heart of Qi Lao, and it has not been renewed for many years, and it is because of this!, so Liu Dong wisely did not ask anything more on this issue. It's just that after the old man's words fell, he nodded lightly, and then focused his attention on the calligraphy scroll in his hand.
Needless to say, this scroll, which is only 150 centimeters long and nearly 60 centimeters wide, is precious.
Yu Shinan, as one of the 'Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty'. and Xue Ji, Chu Suiliang and Ouyang Xun are known in the world. Good at writing. The handwriting is mellow and beautiful. Soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, it inherited the tradition of the two kings and was highly respected by future generations.
And in addition to the achievements in calligraphy, in politics, Yu Shinan went through the Chen, Sui, Tang three dynasties, one of the twenty-four heroes of the Tang Dynasty Lingyan Pavilion, Tang Dazong said that he has virtue, loyalty, erudition, literary diction, calligraphy and five uniques, known as 'contemporary famous ministers. Humanely accurate".
To sum up, his genuine calligraphy can be handed down for more than 1,300 years, and it can be said that it is particularly cherished to preserve it to modern times!
"Look at this again?"
Just when Liu Dong admired Yu Shinan's "Song of Resentment" for half a while, and was about to put it away and return it to Qi Lao, he saw that the old man took a scroll from the box again and handed it to him.
"Look at it again?" Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, but looking at the affirmative look on the old man's face, and deep down in his heart, he was also quite curious about these three scrolls, so he didn't refuse!
However, after Liu Dong unfolded it, what appeared in front of him was not the calligraphy he thought before. It is a mountain calligraphy and painting, and the center of the picture is 'two pines and one stone'. Two pine trees are ancient and strong, a bluestone stands under the pine, the left is only a zhang away, is the cliff, against the background of the distant mountains and cangdai, the majestic and handsome, it is really a good scene!
At the same time, from the picture, Liu Dong also felt the vigorous, ancient and brilliant atmosphere of the northern landscape!
"'Sweeping at will, the peaks and peaks are the first to complete. The tip of the pen is cold and thin, and the ink is light and the wild clouds are light. The rock fountain is narrow, and the roots of the mountain are horizontal. When the meditation room is exhibited, it is also called bitter emptiness. 'Is this Jing Hao's true handiwork?' Liu Dong suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh, Xiaodong, you haven't seen the payment yet, how can you think that this is Jing Hao's real handiwork?"
"Hehe, Qi Lao, you can't trouble me! I know Jing Hao's life and deeds very clearly!" After a pause, after a little weaving, Liu Dong continued, "According to records, Jing Hao was born in the Later Liang period of the fifth dynasty, and due to the changeable political situation, he retired and began his career of "hiding in the Honggu of Taihang Mountain", calling himself Hongguzi. Because the mountains are sparsely populated, Jing Hao cultivates and is self-sufficient, and often paints pine landscapes. He has little contact with the outside world, but he has more contact with Qinglian Temple in Yedu, and Da Yu, the host of Qinglian Temple, has also asked Jing Hao for paintings many times!"
"The ancients thought that poetry and painting were not separated, and the great foolish monk left a poem, 'six old prisons were built, and the traces of the monarch were known. Don't ask for a thousand streams of water, stop two pines. Leave a stone under the tree, and the sky is far away. Near the rocky and damp place, but the ink smoke is thick. And Jing Hao painted according to the poems of this great foolish monk, and after the completion of the painting, it was this "Turquoise Stone Picture", and the poems on this painting were also left by Jing Hao when he gave the painting!" As soon as the words fell, Liu Dong pushed the scroll with his left hand, and sure enough, two seals of "Jing Hao's Seal" and "Hong Guzi" appeared behind him!
After smiling indifferently, Liu Dong turned his head to look at the old man who was slightly surprised and said, "Old Qi, it seems that I guessed correctly!"
"Bang bang ......!"
After the applause fell, Old Man Qi smiled at Liu Dong with a smile of approval: "I didn't expect you to have such a high achievement in painting and calligraphy appreciation in addition to porcelain!"
"You're too old, I've just read a few more books! On paper, your eyesight is still far from yours!" Liu Dong said modestly.
"Hehe, you don't have to be overly humble! This way of appreciation is originally a process of accumulating knowledge! The more you know, the faster you will naturally progress! Moreover, at your current age, it is already remarkable to know this!" the old man praised.
"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded.
There is nothing wrong with being modest, but too much modesty becomes hypocrisy!
Seeing him like this, the old man nodded in satisfaction, and then took out the last of the three scrolls again.
"Look at this again!"
Liu Dong didn't know the old man's purpose for doing this, but driven by curiosity, he still took it with both hands very happily.
"It seems that this is really not a small article!"
Looking at the scroll with a diameter of no less than 8 centimeters rolled up in his hand, Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.
"'Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. "It turned out to be "Thousand Words", no wonder it is so thick!"
"Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" are known as the three major enlightenment readings of Chinese culture. Almost all ancient Chinese scholars were familiar with these three classics, and there were also many literary masters and calligraphy masters who used them to write and become works!
Moreover, from the elegant and handsome calligraphy of this "Thousand Character Text", we can also see the extraordinary nature of its author! At least Liu Dong took a look at it and felt that he was too far from others!
"Thousand Character Text" has a total of more than 990 words, and the length of this scroll in Liu Dong's hand has reached 1830 centimeters, and the width is about 80 centimeters, which can be described as a huge work!
"Su Dongpo?"
When he saw the idle seals of 'Su Dongpo Seal' and 'Iron Crown Dao Man' at the place of payment, he couldn't help but exclaim.
Su Shi, the name of Su Dongpo, every Chinese does not know, and I will not introduce it here. However, this achievement in calligraphy is also called a peerless master! With Huang Tingjian and called "Su Huang", and Mi Fu, Cai Xiang, Huang Tingjian and called "Song Sijia"! In the poetry has long been called "Su Xin" with Xin Qiji! In the article and Ouyang Xun and called "Ou Su", but also one of the famous "Tang and Song Dynasty Eight Families"!
What's even more rare is that this person is also good at calligraphy and painting, especially good at ink bamboo, strange stones, dead wood, etc. Although he was politically unsuccessful in the later period, he was posthumously awarded the Taishi by Song Gaozong and was nicknamed "Wenzhong".
Wenzhong is a kind of nickname given by the official minister in ancient times. In the Song Dynasty, for more than 400 years, the only ministers who could confer the title of Wenzhong after his death were Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Zhou Bida, Wang Yaochen, Zhen Dexiu, Fu Bi, Zhang Jiucheng, and Jiang Wanli.
And the works he left behind have naturally become national treasures worth thousands of gold!
Liu Dong never thought that this last piece of calligraphy "Thousand Character Text" was actually Su Dongpo's authentic calligraphy!
"How are my three works?"
At this time, Qi Lao glanced at Liu Dong and asked with a smile.
"Each one of them is a rare national treasure!" Liu Dong said without hesitation.
Yu Shinan, the four families of the early Tang Dynasty!
Jing Hao, the originator of the Northern Landscape Painting School!
Su Dongpo, one of the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties and the four families of the Song Dynasty!
Each of the three is a famous figure in their respective eras, and their works are also highly respected by future generations! The authentic works that have been inherited for thousands of years and can be left to the present are all priceless national treasures!
Such a top-notch artwork will be regarded by every collector in modern times! This includes Liu Dong, who now has countless treasures!
"Since you think they're precious, I'll give them to you today!"
"Hmm, ah?" Liu Dong, who had just nodded, suddenly reacted, turned his head suddenly, and stared at Qi Lao Dao with a face full of disbelief, "What did you just say?"
"Yes, why, don't you look down on them?" Qi Lao asked with a smile.
"No, no, people all over the world can understand their preciousness, how can I not look down on them!, but it's because they're so precious, so I can't ask for them!" Liu Dong hurriedly waved his hand and said in an eager tone.
Although Liu Dong asked himself that he was not a good person, he also had his own principles that he adhered to! Those scum scum who did not deal with him, he could take advantage of them without any scruples, and even kill people and kill them. But in the face of his respected seniors in the industry, he will not be presumptuous no matter what!
Looking at Liu Dongqing's sincere performance, Qi Lao also felt comforted in his heart. I feel that I really didn't look at the wrong person, and entrusting these works to the other party is also the most reassuring way for me to deal with it!
