Zhang Tianyuan didn't look long before retreating, but was grabbed by Ouyang Xiaodan, Ouyang Xiaodan asked anxiously: "How is it? Is it something from the Tang Dynasty?"

"It's not nonsense for you to ask this, that Hu Li said just now, this is an imitation of the Song Dynasty, not a thing from the Tang Dynasty, so don't think about it, this is not a thing stolen from the ancient tomb, rest assured." ”

"Cut, it's boring. "Ouyang Xiaodan doesn't care about antiques, she cares about tomb robbing, so when she heard Zhang Tianyuan say that, she lost interest.

Zhang Tianyuan sat there, but his brows furrowed, because he observed the dragon appearance of the painting, which happened to be a real dragon. And the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are adult real dragons.

In the past, because of the lack of earth qi level, he couldn't accurately identify the things of these generations, but first of all, it was different, even if it was a real dragon, there were some differences on the scales, so he could judge that this thing should be an imitation of the Song Dynasty, but whether it was the one in the Boston Museum in the United States was uncertain.

Do you want to take it or not?

If it is the one in Boston, USA, it is definitely fame and fortune, not only is it a very precious collection, but also the treasure of our country has been recovered, which is definitely a good thing.

Even if it is not, it is also an imitation of the Song Dynasty, and it seems to be comparable in terms of workmanship, this thing should not be cheap.

In fact, the price of imitation works is also going all the way up, after all, things that are too old have been handed down relatively little, and if the quality of imitation is not bad, it will even be treated as genuine. Status is equally important.

You must know that in the collection of modern calligraphy and painting, there are mainly several different situations. The first is, of course, the handwriting of famous treasures, which is needless to say. Every masterpiece throughout the ages has its market price, as long as you feel that it is worth it, go to a few more auctions to participate in a few auctions, and you can always receive some good objects.

Ancient calligraphy and painting is the "outstanding stock" of calligraphy and painting collection, and ancient calligraphy and painting, with its own quality and quantity advantages, are increasingly showing the attributes of hard currency in the art market. Ancient paintings and calligraphy, which have always been small in quantity and high in price, are even stronger in the calligraphy and painting market. The unique value of ancient calligraphy and painting has made this sector more market attention. Ancient calligraphy and painting resources are scarce, and the market is less affected by the market.

Ancient calligraphy and painting have been gradually rising in a relatively stable manner. The historiographical value and artistic value are also important reasons for the attention of ancient calligraphy and painting. The price potential of ancient paintings and calligraphy is far from being explored. Ancient paintings, in particular, are the crystallization of Chinese civilization.

Ancient paintings were painted in that unique environment of ancient times. The superb brushwork of ancient painters amazes people today, and the artistic conception of the paintings is extremely far-reaching. That kind of scene, that kind of feeling, no longer exists today, only ancient paintings have been preserved. Every ancient painting is a piece of history, and some people say that standing in front of an ancient picture is a dialogue with the ancients, and it can also be said that owning an ancient painting is also related to the ancients. The painters of ancient times are now immortals. Their paintings also have a fairy atmosphere, and they can be placed at home to pray for blessings. Carry forward and inherit our traditional culture, let more people understand and participate in collecting, protecting the cultural heritage handed down by our ancestors, so that they can reflect a more splendid Chinese civilization and improve our cultural self-confidence.

Of course. Some things are not something that can be bought with money, such as Wang Xizhi's original manuscript of "Orchid Pavilion Preface", which has been lost as far as the current understanding is concerned. What is circulating now is the copying of the descendants. In fact, if Wang Xizhi's genuine work comes out, it may not be able to sell for much money. Maybe someone will treat it as a fake.

But even so, it cannot affect the absolute status of the original paintings and calligraphy of the ancients in the collection of paintings and calligraphy.

The second kind of collectible value, is the later generations of famous imitation of the previous life of everyone's works, there are a lot of experts in this area, in ancient times, such as Zhang Xu, Yan Zhenqing, this is a copy of a lot of words including Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, and the words of the predecessors, to achieve their own characteristics of the master, in addition to Tang Bohu, Huang Gongwang, this is the ancient famous copy of the painting masters, more importantly, they themselves are also everyone.

In modern times, Zhang Daqian is a very important painter, and among the works he copied, only now has come out, which is the Dunhuang murals.

As the first professional painter in China to go to Dunhuang to copy murals, Zhang Daqian and his family and disciples slept in the deserted Gobi Sandy Region in the spring of 1941, and copied 276 murals. At the same time, Zhang Daqian made a text description and chronological research on the structure of the grottoes, the content, the number and size of the colored sculptures and murals. In conjunction with the Dunhuang Art Exhibition being held at the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Art Museum, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Art Museum has also cooperated with the Jinzhou Museum, which has the richest collection of Zhang Daqian's copied murals, and more than 60 Zhang Daqian's copied Dunhuang murals on display are on display for the first time.

Zhang Daqian and Dunhuang Huang seem to be a legend, a genius who has gone through many difficulties and dangers to achieve a great cause. What people see now is his brilliant achievements, but they don't know the endless stories behind it......

Among the paintings of Mr. Zhang Daqian in the collection of Jinzhou Museum, the mural works of Dunhuang are particularly eye-catching, and the golden masterpieces, layers of elegant brushwork, exquisite jade seals, and a period of past events will lead us into a great world.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet. "This is the "Song of the Great Wind" by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. The painters Mr. Zhang Shanzi and Mr. Zhang Daqian not only took the meaning of "Song of the Great Wind", but also named the painter Zhang Dafeng in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and named their painting hall "Great Wind Hall".

Zhang Daqian heard many times from his teachers and friends about the majesty of Dunhuang art, so he had the idea of traveling. From the spring of 1941 to the summer of 1943, he spent a lot of money and carried various utensils, and went to Dunhuang with his two wives Yang Wanjun and Huang Ningsu, his second son Zhang Xinzhi, and painters Sun Zongwei, Xiao Jianchu, and Xie Zhiliu, where he lived for two years and seven months to study murals. He believes that the Dunhuang murals are the culmination of the Oriental medieval art, not painted by ordinary craftsmen, but the masterpieces of famous artists, and are the miracles of human culture. The trip to Dunhuang became a turning point in Daqian's artistic career. It is the beginning of the style of splashing ink and color painting in the future.

When Zhang Daqian studied painting, he attached great importance to copying ancient paintings, and he emphasized that "the traces of the ancients were learned." The heart of the ancients".

In terms of the method of imitation, he believes: "Copying. It is to take the brushwork, ink method, color use, and composition of the ancients, through one painting after another, carefully observe its changes, and understand, comprehend, and go deep into the heart, so as to achieve a process that can be memorized. Then, through the process of backing, the ancients used the techniques freely, and finally turned the ancients' things into their own. ”

Mr. Zhang Daqian traveled far away in Dunhuang and Huang, and he could do what others could not and dared to do. In two years and seven months, he understood the artistic essence of "the solemnity of the law", and copied more than 270 works. The trip to Dunhuang has made a great achievement, sharpened it into a tool, and finally become a generation of masters who borrowed from the past to open up the present.

A person who can do this is not a master. That's all about to become a famous artist, so it is precisely because of this that Zhang Daqian's paintings are so popular.

Such works, although they may not be remembered on the authentic works. But the absolute price will not be low, and the collection value will be even higher.

As for the third valuable kind of calligraphy and painting, it is a relatively rare individual existence. Such calligraphy and paintings are often ancient paintings, but it is impossible to verify the identity and origin of their authors. There is no money on the painting, but the painting is exquisite. It is not inferior to those famous works, and they are often collected by later celebrities. Of course, it is also possible that the artist himself is not famous, but his ability is very good, but unfortunately there is no record in history.

Of course, there is also the possibility that these paintings or characters were not completed by one person, but by multiple people working together to create zào, and in the end they were not signed, and became anonymous works.

Of course, since it is anonymous, then this kind of painting is often given a very interesting name, called: anonymous, that is, anonymous, I don't know whose meaning it is. This is similar to the current relevant institutions in our country.

After all, painting has become an art category at this time, and many mature painters are more qualified to copy the works of the ancients, and then feel that their names are not atmospheric enough, and they feel that what they copy may not be good, so they dare not name the original author, nor dare to name their own names, so they can only be named after anonymous, or simply do not leave money, do not write names.

Perhaps because of this, the value of their works is far from the paintings of anonymous people in the Song Dynasty, and many of the paintings of anonymous names handed down in the Song Dynasty have been directly entered into various historical classics, and many people have even gone to great lengths to investigate the sitting of these works.

Emperor Kangxi Qianlong once collected a lot of anonymous paintings of the Song Dynasty, and left his own bell prints and poems on them, even if the ancient paintings themselves are put aside, but those attached to the paintings next to the famous handwriting bell prints, it is also very valuable. But Kangxi and Qianlong forget it, although these two are emperors, they just use the power in their hands to vassal elegance, let's just say that the poems made by Emperor Qianlong, many of them are bullshit, but they boast of excellent poetry, and they are not afraid of being laughed off by future generations.

Of course, maybe Emperor Qianlong was still dreaming of his Spring and Autumn Festival at that time, thinking that the Qing Dynasty would be prosperous forever.

And this last kind of work can really be said to be worthless, because these works are pure fakes. But in this kind of fake, there are also things that make it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and this kind of fake can no longer be called a high imitation, we want to say that it is a clone.

And when it comes to cloning, I have to talk about Zhang Daqian once.

It is said that Zhang Daqian was such a legendary "cloning" master, he once bought some famous paintings of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, secretly carried out the operation of absolute "cloning", and then hid the authentic works and sold the imitations.

As a result, even Wu Hufan, Huang Binhong and other top connoisseurs of calligraphy and painting at that time were blinded, so that some museums at home and abroad still collect "cloned" copies of his famous paintings.

Compared with the period in which Zhang Daqian lived, the current era is much higher than that of Zhang Daqian, both in terms of human ingenuity and the level of social and technological development, and there is no reason why the "cloning" technology of calligraphy and painting works will not make great progress. It must be said that in the specific field of "cloning" and counterfeiting of modern and modern famous paintings and calligraphy, the actual level of operation of some concoctors has indeed reached an incredible situation.
