"Flying pen Guo Panhu!"

At this time, Tang Qinghua was still very confused: "What does this mean?" ”

"It's a nickname." Pi Qiu explained with a chuckle next to him: "Guo Chen's name is Panhu Layman, legend has it that during the Jiajing period, Emperor Jiajing ordered Guo Chen to rewrite the temple and plaque of the corridor temple in the capital. It's just that when he wrote about the plaque of the Taihe Palace, he missed a stroke and wrote it as the Yamato Palace. ”

Just when everyone was sweating for a handful, Guo Chen was not in a hurry to pick up a large sheep's hair pen, put it in the ink pool to absorb the full Jiao and then throw it away, the tip of the pen just fell under the big character, and added a little bit without bias, so that the big character became a big word. Seeing this situation, Emperor Jiajing praised him and called him Feibi Guo Panhu. ”

While speaking, Pi Qiushi smiled: "Of course, this is just folklore. However, during the Jiajing period, Guo Chen's calligraphy was indeed famous in Beijing, and the famous family felt that it was undignified if there was no Guo Chen's words at home, so there was an endless stream of people who came to seek books. At that time, his calligraphy and painting were definitely the most famous. ”

"Sounds like a great thing." Tang Qinghua hit the nail on the head and said: "But it doesn't seem to be famous now, I guess only those of you who specialize in the history of painting and calligraphy know." ”

"That's right."

At this time, Wang Guan smiled casually: "During the Jiajing period, there were many famous officials, such as Yan Song, Xu Jie, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and so on. But there are very few calligraphers and painters who can make the people familiar with them, but I will list two people, you must have heard of Tsinghua. One of them has the same surname as you......"

"Tang Bohu." Tang Qinghua blurted out.

"Yes, Tang Bohu died in the second year of Jiajing, and he can barely be regarded as a person in the Jiajing period." Wang Guan smiled and said: "The other one is mainly active in the Jiajing period, and it is also the same as Tang Bohu, and it belongs to the first-class madness. However, this man is even more crazy, seems to have masochistic tendencies, and has committed suicide several times......"

"Xu Wei Xu Wenchang!" Tang Qinghua exhaled slightly, obviously knowing who Wang Guan was talking about.

"That's what I'm trying to say. It is estimated that there are many people in the eyes. When it comes to people and things in the Ming Dynasty, perhaps the first reaction is these two people. Wang Guan said with a smile: "However, at that time, these two people may have some fame, but in the eyes of orthodox scholars, the fame of the two cannot be compared with Guo Chen at all." ”

"The reason, even if I don't say it, you understand it somewhat." Wang Guan sighed a little: "Don't mention the current deduction and drama." In fact, both of them were the product of the failure of the imperial examination. After Sun Shan fell to Sun Shan in the scientific examination, the psychology of the two arrogant people became very depressed, and they naturally did many things that were not allowed to be worldly. ”

It is also based on this situation that most of the people who ask the two for calligraphy and painting are businessmen and the like. As for other dignitaries, even if they appreciate their talents, they will be dismissive on the surface. Until after the death of the two. Without secular prejudices, everyone can express their love for the works of the two openly, and then quickly put the two on the altar. ”

At this time, Wang Guan smiled lightly: "So Guo Chen's poetry, calligraphy and painting are relatively speaking, and he must be the first in the system." Because the arrogant scholars disdain to compare themselves with people outside the system. In current terms. That is, there are no tigers in the mountains. The monkey is called the king. In this way, you should understand. ”

"Understood. Totally understood. Tang Qinghua suddenly realized: "It's like when a certain official was in power, his calligraphy was worth millions, but when he retired, it was not worth a penny." ”

"That's pretty much it." Wang Guan smiled and said: "But Guo Chen is a little different, he was able to be sought after by everyone at that time, and it was also because of his strength, not because of people's deliberate sycophants." Therefore, his works are still more or less valuable. ”

"That's right, I don't dare to say three or five hundred thousand, the price is more than ten or two hundred thousand, someone must buy it." Pi Qiu is echoed.

"Look at other people's words, they are straight and flat, and the silver hook and iron painting are deeply rooted in the essence of European style." Wang Guan commented and praised: "This kind of calligraphy is hard practice, but there is no moisture. ”

"Well, it does look quite pleasing to the eye." Tang Qinghua agreed.

"Alright, ignore the scroll. No matter how famous Guo Chen was at that time, he is not famous now, so don't worry about him. At this moment, Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Come and take a look at this painting, this is the real treasure." ”

"What painting?" Wang Guan and the others hurriedly looked over.

At this time, Yu Feibai unfolded all the scrolls, and everyone saw them very clearly.

It is a long scroll of landscapes, the brush and ink are rough and bold, full of majestic momentum. The mountains are undulating, rendered with thick ink, and the river is surging, and it is slightly outlined with light ink. One thick and one light contrast with each other, and the charm is long.

"Good drawing."

After taking a look, Pi Qiushi couldn't help but praise: "This pen power is not something that ordinary people can draw." ”

"Of course, I don't want to see whose painting it is."

While speaking, Yu Feibai very treacherously covered up the place where the money was made, and then said with a smile: "You might as well guess whose picture this is." ”

"Eh, it's headless and brainless, how can people guess." Wang Guan frowned and said, "I'd like to give me some hints." ”

"If you want to hint at it, then here you go." Yu Feibai smiled: "This is a painting from the Ming Dynasty...... Hey, don't be in a hurry to despise, I'm not done yet. This is a Ming painting, the author is a Jiangnan person, and he is a famous painter......"

Pi Qiushi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "A person from the Wumen painting school, one of the four Ming families?" ”

"Guess what!" Yu Feibai felt that there were enough prompts, so he stopped leaking the heavenly secrets.

"Famous painters, it must be the four Ming families." Wang Guan groaned, and then looked at it carefully.

In the Ming Dynasty, the most famous is the Wumen school. Speaking of which, the rise of the Wu faction also has certain historical roots. After all, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed that year, and the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner of peace. Although it is not good in military strength, it is enough to completely develop Jiangnan in more than 100 years.

Even after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a war turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the economy of Jiangnan began to recover and developed rapidly. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan was unprecedentedly prosperous, and painting appreciation became a part of people's lives. There was a demand for this, and naturally a large number of professional painters were born.

Although there were many painters, after some comparison, later generations unified the most powerful representatives of the time and called them the four families of the Ming Dynasty, so as to echo with the four families of the Yuan Dynasty.

These four people are Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu, Qiu Ying, the four people's painting styles are very different, but their skills are very exquisite, and each of them has their own characteristics. Their works have been widely circulated and are highly regarded both in ancient and modern times.

To what extent? In ancient times, it may be difficult to say, but now, you can know it very clearly by directly opening the auction records of major auction companies. As long as it is the calligraphy and painting of these four people, and it can be determined that it is genuine, and it is inherited in an orderly manner, the estimate is often over 10 million, or even more than 100 million is not a problem.

"I don't know whose painting it is."

At this time, Pi Qiushi carefully scrutinized: "The four families of the Ming Dynasty have made outstanding achievements in landscape painting, and there are new breakthroughs in the courtyard paintings of the four families of the Yuan Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, but everyone has a focus. ”

Among the four, Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming are both good at painting landscapes, inheriting the tradition of landscape painting in the Northern Song Dynasty; Tang Bohu is very good at landscapes and characters, but he is based on the Southern Song Dynasty courtyard style; Qiu Ying is known for his artificial pen figures and green landscapes. ”

Pi Qiushi slowly commented, and then confirmed: "But like this painting, it is heroic and unrestrained, and the brushwork is dignified and vigorous, a bit like Shen Zhou's style." ”

"I think so." Wang nodded and agreed: "Shen Zhou is known as a rough Shen, after the completion of his pen skills, his works take more dripping and changeable ink methods, and he is accustomed to using thick brushes to depict landscape paintings, and his style tends to be more vigorous and vigorous, and the atmosphere is majestic......"

"There are two hits."

At the right time, Yu Feibai chuckled and said, "I still have a bit of eyesight." ”

"So, this is really Shen Zhou's painting?"

Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little more surprised on their faces.

If this is the work of Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu, and Qiu Ying, they must be very happy, but they are pleasantly surprised when it is confirmed that it is the work of Shen Zhou. The subtle differences in mood naturally have some reasons.

Because the formation of the Wumen School of Painting is generally believed to have begun with Shen Zhou and completed by Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu, and Qiu Ying. In other words, Shen Zhou belongs to a figure of the level of the founding master. Even if Tang Bohu is the most famous among the four, everyone knows it, but when it comes to the status of the painting world, compared with Shen Zhou, he is a little inferior.

Moreover, as we all know, Tang Bohu also learned painting from Shen Zhou, a veritable junior. Besides, Shen Zhou was born in the second year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, but died in the fourth year of Zhengde at the age of eighty-three. He did not participate in the imperial examination in his life, and devoted himself to studying poetry, calligraphy and painting, so he made great achievements in this area.

Anyway, Shen Zhou's works are generally collected in major museums. Shen Zhou's works are occasionally sold in overseas art markets, which inevitably cause a sensation and fierce competition among buyers. In 2010, a large auction company in Beijing launched a pine window coats picture by Shen Zhou, which was finally sold for more than 150 million yuan.

From this, we can also know the preciousness of Shen Zhou's works, and it is no wonder that Yu Feibai just opened his mouth and said that this is a real treasure.

"However, Shen Zhou's calligraphy and painting were widely circulated, and he was a very famous painter at that time, so many people imitated his works, so that the authenticity was mixed and it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake."

In addition to the surprise, Pi Qiushi also frowned: "I don't know if this painting is genuine." ”

"That's right."

Wang Guan nodded, and muttered: "I remember that there are records in the literature that Shen Zhou traveled extensively, was extremely popular, and was usually approachable. Some people even took his fakes and begged him to help with the inscription, and he readily agreed, so Wen Zhengming called him a fairy ...... who was floating outside the world" (to be continued......
