Lin Lang also looked at Dean Huang. )

When he heard Moratti say that there would be a picture of the Qingming River in this auction, he was indeed very surprised, and his surprise was no less than that of Li Yang.

Although Lin Lang is a foreigner and grew up abroad, he has always had a deep affection for China, which can be seen from the fact that he often goes to China.

Lin Lang likes to collect, especially Chinese cultural relics, which gives him a strong sense of belonging to China.

Suddenly hearing that a treasure belonging to China appeared at a foreign auction, he, like Li Yang, couldn't accept it at the first time.

But soon he reacted, after all, Lin Lang was at the helm of a big consortium, and his psychological quality was much stronger.

After careful questioning, he immediately took his leave, and Moratti's retention was useless.

When he came out, he contacted Li Yang and Dean Huang, and this matter is not suitable for too many people to know at present, except for Li Yang and Dean Huang.

Li Yang didn't say it first, Dean Huang is the most authoritative person in the Forbidden City, and the Qingming Riverside Map has always been collected in the Forbidden City before, Dean Huang should know about this matter and have the highest right to speak.

Li Yang's question was also what Lin Lang was curious about, he knew that Dean Huang had doubted the authenticity of the Qingming Riverside Map in the Forbidden City a long time ago, and then Xu Lao gave up after he had corroboration.

"Li Yang, don't think about it, there's nothing hidden here, it's just that this matter is hard to explain!"

Dean Huang sighed softly, his face was still a little melancholy, as if he was recalling something from the past.

"You always say slowly, we are not in a hurry, you always make it clear, so that it is convenient for us to take the next step!"

Li Yang whispered, his meaning is very simple, if Dean Huang said that the paintings in the Forbidden City are really not genuine, then the paintings that appeared at the big auction this time may be real.

In that case, they have to be prepared to take the painting.

If the Forbidden City is indeed genuine, then the auction must be fake, and there is no need to make any preparations.

"I understand!"

Dean Huang nodded silently, looked up at the ceiling, and his mind seemed to have returned to the past.

Young frivolity is not a purely derogatory term, and it is even more obvious for those who have not been frivolous when they were young, especially talented people.

Dean Huang is obviously a talented person, he was also young, and he also had a wonderful history, although he can't compare to Li Yang now, but Dean Huang was also a very famous person at that time.

Xu Lao is also more famous than Dean Huang.

This is mainly due to Xu Lao's family background, after all, he has a famous uncle behind him, and Xu Beihong's influence in the calligraphy and painting world was unparalleled at that time.

The Forbidden City's current collection of Qingming Riverside Map, Dean Huang once questioned it back then, when he had just joined the Forbidden City, he could only be regarded as a newcomer, and he had no influence at all.

However, at that time, there were many people who questioned the painting, and his doubts were nothing in it.

Many of the old-timers at the time also put forward more evidence to show that the painting was fake.

The debate about the authenticity of this painting has been going on for a long time, and during this time, Dean Huang has slowly grown up, constantly arguing with those who insist that the painting is genuine.

The most controversial with Dean Huang was Mr. Xu back then.

After some time, the controversy over the painting finally ended, and Xu Lao triumphed, and he characterized the painting in the architectural style of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was recognized as genuine.

There were too many supporters of Xu Lao, and Dean Huang had limited influence at that time, so he could only accept this matter.

Moreover, the Chinese people at that time also hoped that this painting was real, that it was a real national treasure, and that the Chinese people needed such comfort in their hearts.

However, this doubt has always existed in Dean Huang's heart, and he has done some research after that, but it is only private research, and the country has recognized this painting as genuine, and it is impossible for him to overturn it again, unless he comes up with a real genuine work.

Another point is that his teacher was the dean of the year, and his mentor also agreed that the painting was genuine.

With the slow advancement of time, many people have questioned the Qingming Riverside picture of the Forbidden City, but no one has ever wavered in this painting.

Slowly, everyone thinks that the Forbidden City is genuine.

"Dean Huang, do you still think that the Forbidden City is a fake?"

After listening to Dean Huang's slow description, Li Yang asked in a low voice, if it weren't for the three of them here, Li Yang wouldn't dare to ask like this.

Dean Huang's identity is not what it used to be, he is the helmsman of the Forbidden City, and his words and deeds represent the Forbidden City, and his words are not comparable to others, which may cause an earthquake.

Dean Huang was obviously hesitant and did not speak.

"Dean Huang, why don't you tell us about your doubts back then?"

Li Yang immediately changed his words, as soon as he asked what he said just now, he understood that he shouldn't ask like this, and there were some words, even when there were few people, Dean Huang didn't easily express his position.

Sure enough, after this sentence, Dean Huang did not hesitate, and looked at Li Yang approvingly.

In a word, how to ask and how to say, but it has many different meanings, Li Yang's first question made him difficult to answer, but the latter question did not have any problems.

This also shows that Li Yang is indeed growing up and has made great progress.

"In fact, my doubts back then were the same as many others, first, this painting was painted by Zhang Zerui, which is recognized by the whole world, but this painting does not have his signature!"

Dean Huang said softly, and Li Yang and Lin Lang nodded slightly.

This picture of the river during the Qingming Festival really does not have Zhang Zerui's signature, only a paragraph in the introduction shows that the author is him.

"This point, many people who think it is true have also given an explanation, that is, Song Huizong likes to take other people's paintings directly and sign them himself, resulting in some ancient paintings with Song Huizong's name are not made by him, which has already been verified!"

It is also true that Song Huizong was not a good emperor, but he was a good calligrapher and painter, and the 'thin gold body' he created is widely circulated today.

"Second, this painting Song Huizong once had his double dragon small seal, but unfortunately it is not there now!"

Glancing at Li Yang, Dean Huang continued: "If this pair of Xiaoyin is still there, the first suspicion before can be explained, Song Huizong left his name, and it is normal not to let Zhang Zerui stay!" ”

"The problem is, this seal is gone!" Lin Lang answered with a smile, and Li Yang and Dean Huang nodded at the same time.

The Qingming Riverside Picture in the Forbidden City does not have the seal of Song Huizong, but this point, people who think that this painting is real have also given a clear explanation.

The painting is not complete, and it is possible that someone cut off part of it, and it is precisely the beginning and the end that were cut, and there are different speculations as to why it was cut.

Some say that it was removed when it was reframed because it was damaged, and it is also said that the Shuanglong small seal of Song Huizong was more valuable at that time, and it was deliberately cut and forged on other paintings so that it could be sold for a good price.

However, none of these statements can satisfy Dean Huang and them, even if it is damaged, it can be repaired, and it does not necessarily have to be completely removed.

As for the forgery of Song Huizong's seal, it is even more ridiculous.

Qingming Shanghe picture is Song Huizong's favorite work, there is no one, in the later dynasties except for the Yuan, each period of this painting has a lofty status, otherwise how many people will come to copy this painting.

As for the Yuan Dynasty, if you don't even recognize this painting, will you still recognize the other paintings?

The explanations of these two points were not recognized, but Xu Lao came up with another piece of evidence.

There should be a part after the second half of this painting, because this painting should not only end in Kaifeng City, but should be painted in Jinmingchi, and the beginning part is also very abrupt, as if someone cut something.

Mr. Xu's explanation was recognized by many people at the time, and even Dean Huang was not easy to object.

The painting in the Forbidden City's collection does have such a problem, and it seems that some of it is really missing, at least Dean Huang also had this feeling.

Everyone has a feeling, even Dean Huang can't refute it, unless he has seen the real painting, and now everyone thinks that this one is real, where else can he see the real painting.

This questioning has been swept under the rug.

"The third point is that there is something wrong with the calligraphy here!"

Dean Huang continued, the Qingming Riverside Picture is a legendary painting, Zhang Zerui painted it directly to Song Huizong, Song Huizong loved this painting so much that he personally used his 'thin gold body' to leave the name of the "Qingming Riverside Picture".

Later, the Song Dynasty suffered the most humiliating 'Jingkang Difficulty', and this painting, along with many of the treasures of Song Huizong, was captured by the Jin people, but the Jin people did not understand this painting, so it was preserved.

In the more than 800 years since its inception, it has gone through several twists and turns, experienced countless tests of war, and has been tossing and turning.

Every time the painting appears, it inevitably causes a turmoil, and the ingenuity of the magnates, the difficult protection of everyone who loves it, and the rare experience of entering the palace five times and losing it five times, all give the painting a veil of mystery.

It can also be said that there is basically no painting in Chinese history that is more legendary than this painting.

There has been such a legendary experience, naturally let many people have collected, hands-on, some people who love calligraphy and painting have left their own inscriptions and seals on it.

Among them, there are inscriptions by Li Dongyang, a famous politician and calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the seals of Emperor Jiaqing and others.

But then again, it's a miracle that the painting didn't fall into the hands of Qianlong, who was one of his favorite emperors.

"When you say calligraphy, do you mean these inscriptions of later generations?"

Lin Lang frowned, and asked in a low voice, there are many words on this painting, there is more than one person, so many words exist, if it is imitated, it must be a big difficulty
