Chapter 724: Obediently Entering the Set
PS: There are only two more today, and there is something delayed, and the matter of simplified publishing. Bless me, everyone, and ask for monthly ticket support by the way.
The difference between copying the cold food post through the facsimile and copying the cold food post through the original original work must also be understood by everyone. In addition, Liu Yong himself is a master of calligraphy, so he can better grasp the essence and charm of the authentic handwriting.
In this way, everyone also understands the value of this imitation to some extent. Of course, there must also be a premise. This imitation is really Liu Yong's work, not someone else's imitation of Liu Yong's fake.
This is a bit of a twist, but it is also a more frustrating fact in antique collections. In the case that the whereabouts of the original work have been determined, everyone also understands that the original work cannot appear on the market. Then some people who are hungry for profit must have set their sights on imitations.
After all, in the case of authentic works, the imitations of famous artists are also very valuable. Therefore, all kinds of vivid imitations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which can really be said to be endless, and it is not uncommon......
Considering this situation, Wang Guan and Tian Lao naturally need to be cautious and carefully identify the authenticity.
"Wang Guan, what do you think?" Tian Lao asked, but he didn't calm down, his eyes carefully observed the situation of the copybook, and he directly touched the paper mounting, trying not to have any omissions.
"There is a spectrum." Wang Guan was also watching carefully, and there was a smile on his face: "The transition between the yellow and white colors of the paper is natural, not like a trace of oldness." ”
"Well, that's right." Tian Lao nodded slightly in agreement, and then in the surprised eyes of Shopkeeper Tan, he muttered: "But there are also cases of old paper and new books." ”
The so-called old paper and new books refer to the use of ancient paper handed down from that period, and then on the ancient paper to make forgeries, wait until the ink is dry, and then hang for a period of time, it is completely like ancient calligraphy and painting.
Since the paper is really ancient paper, if only the paper is identified. Then there is certainly no trace of obsolescence. From this, we can also know how hollow out the counterfeiters are, trying all kinds of means to achieve the goal of confusing the real with the fake.
When the old man and others heard this, they sighed one after another. They knew that the water in the antique collection was very deep, but they had no idea how deep it was, and now when they heard Wang Guan and Tian Lao exact, they realized that it was unfathomable, enough to drown a large number of people.
At the same time, the shopkeeper Tan hurriedly defended: "Tian Lao, the paper may be ancient paper, but it is newly written." You can't be as shiny and restrained as these ancient words. ”
This is true, after all, even if the same ink is written on the same material of paper, it will take on different conditions over time.
If the ink is good, the handwriting will still be as clear as before, but after a few hundred years, it will definitely lose the oily luster of the beginning. If it's a bad ink, it's even more needless to say. Perhaps over the past few hundred years, the ink has faded and faded.
In any case, the ink of the text is also one of the bases for studying the authenticity of calligraphy and painting.
Tian Lao must understand. However, he ignored Tan's defense, but studied the style of calligraphy: "Su Dongpo's calligraphy is not beautiful at first glance, and the pen is very natural and a bit casual. Therefore, the evaluation of talents who don't like it is a stone-pressed toad. In addition, the cold food post was originally a poem draft, and it was certainly not as neat and regular as the final draft. ”
"But that's exactly what happened. It seems that the cold food post is plain and innocent, without any pretentiousness. So after watching it for a long time, you can appreciate the beauty of it. The kind of truth, goodness and beauty that is not boastful, not pretentious, and not pretentious. ”
Tian Lao commented slowly: "Let's talk about Liu Yong's calligraphy, the font is rich and strong, the flavor is deep and hidden, and it contains strength. He is particularly fond of thick ink, and his writing is relatively round and thick, without continuity, and the blank space is wide. People who don't like his handwriting say that his handwriting is like an ink pig, which is just similar to Su Dongpo. ”
"Therefore, if Liu Yong wants to copy Su Dongpo's calligraphy, it is definitely not very difficult."
While speaking, Tian Lao smiled again: "The other is the tail of the Yellow Valley, which is completely different from Su Dongpo's calligraphy style, but reflects each other, and the two calligraphers are juxtaposed together, called Shuangbi." Many people describe the words of the Yellow Valley, as if opening the treasure house of the general, with spears and halberds, and saber rattling, there is a feeling of sharpness. ”
"Therefore, Liu Yong can't imitate such words, even if he insists on copying them, he can't write that kind of taste."
At this moment, Tian Lao signaled: "If you have seen the authentic handwriting of the cold food post, you will find that the two poems of this calligraphy have a bit of charm of the real handwriting, but the tail of the Yellow Valley becomes more and more awkward the more you look at it, and it is a little nondescript. ”
"So what?" The old criminal's eyes lit up, and he heard the sound outside the strings.
"So......" Tian Lao smiled and looked at the box next to him: "It's time to take a look at Dongpo Tianyan." ”
At this moment, those who should understand also understood, just when the old man beckoned the smiling shopkeeper Tan to the side to talk, Tian Lao suddenly said intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, among Liu Yong's many hand-me-down calligraphy, there are many ghostwritten works. In particular, Liu Yong has three concubines, all of whom can ghostwrite, so they need to be cautious. ”
"Huh?"
For a moment, the shopkeeper Tan's smile froze, and he must have wanted to defend himself, but Tian Lao didn't mean to listen, and directly signaled Wang Guan to open the box to see what the so-called Su Dongpo Tianyan looked like.
"What a big inkstone."
At this time, Wang Guan opened the box with his hand, only to see a stone inkstone in the box. However, the stone inkstone is oval in shape, with a length and width of more than 20 centimeters. Wang Guan took out the stone inkstone and looked at it, only to see that there were inkstone ponds, inkstone ditches, and speckled traces on the front of the inkstone, and on the back of the inkstone were clearly visible inscriptions.
"Tian Lao, take a look."
After looking at it for a moment, Wang Guan frowned slightly, and put down the stone inkstone, so that Tian Lao could get his hands on it.
"What do you think?" Tian Lao asked casually, and also looked at it carefully.
"Regarding this Tianyan Yan, Su Dongpo himself once wrote a Tianshi inkstone, explaining the origin of the inkstone very clearly." Wang Guan groaned: "He said that when he was twelve years old, he got a strange stone in his backyard, like a fish, with warm skin and a light blue color. The inside and the outside are fine silver stars, and the buckles are sonorous. ”
In other words, the color of the stone should be like fish scales, with a shimmering light blue color. And the stone is fine and smooth, slightly showing the Taoist veins, and the knocking can make a pleasant sound. ”
At the right time, Wang Guan blinked and said: "But these characteristics seem to be a little inconsistent with the current stone inkstone." ”
The others saw it and nodded their heads, it really didn't match. If there is anything similar, that is, the inscription on the inkstone is the same, as for the silver star fish scales, the light blue color, it is not seen on this inkstone at all.
At this time, the shopkeeper Tan, who was bargaining with the old criminal next to him, heard the sound and couldn't help but turn around and retort: "For more than nine hundred years, the stone has experienced many ups and downs, and some changes are normal. ”
"If there is any change, the texture of the inkstone itself cannot also change." Wang Guan smiled, then reached out and touched the inkstone, and immediately shook his head: "It's so rough, there is no warm and delicate feeling at all." ”
"The surface is a little weathered...... shopkeeper Tan replied.
"That's a contradiction." Wang Guan smiled again: "Since the surface is weathered, then the inkstone should also be a little vague, why is the handwriting so clear?" ”
"Uh......" Shopkeeper Tan was suddenly speechless.
"Alright."
At this moment, the old man took the opportunity to smile and said: "Put aside the matter of the inkstone for now, you should seriously discuss with me about this ghostwriting cold food post." ”
"Old Criminal, this is really not ghostwriting." Shopkeeper Tan was helpless. You must know that Liu Yong's genuine handwriting and Liu Yong's concubine's ghostwriting are completely different in nature, and there is a certain gap in price.
"Whether it's ghostwriting or not, your asking price is too high." The old man shook his head and said: "You also know that this painting is not what we personally want, but for exhibition, and it will be collected in the cultural center afterwards, which is a cultural event." ”
"I know, but you should know ...... old man" Shopkeeper Tan said with a bitter face: "My store is a small business, and this thing is the treasure of the store in the town, and I didn't spend much money when I first purchased it......"
"Alright, let's take a step back." The old man waved his hand and said, "You don't want the lion to open his mouth. ”
"I can't miss it, if it's less, my whole family should drink the northwest wind." Shopkeeper Tan was unwilling to back down, he had already recognized that it was impossible for Xing Lao and the others to give up this thing, and he planned to make a lot of money. As for the Suzi Cultural Festival, what does it matter to him? He is not a cultural person, just a small businessman, and he will only worry about any cultural events when he is idle.
To be a man is to do his duty, to be in his position, to seek his own government, so for him, making money is the first priority.
With such thoughts, Shopkeeper Tan insisted on not giving in, but the old man and others frowned, somewhat dissatisfied, but helpless. After all, things belong to other people, whether they sell them or not, how much they sell, this is people's freedom, and everyone can't control it, and there is no reason to force him to sell it to himself.
There was a stalemate for a while, and the old man sighed softly, and was about to nod and agree.
At this moment, Tian Lao suddenly spoke: "Brother Xing, this matter is not in a hurry, anyway, the day after tomorrow is a cultural festival, and there is time." Ezhou is ancient Wuchang, the heritage is extraordinary, let's go to other places, maybe there is something better. ”
"That's right." Wang Guan cooperated tacitly and chuckled: "Speaking of which, there is also a good arm rest in my collection, but it has something to do with Su Dongpo. ”
He didn't lie, Huang Tingjian's arm rest has something to do with Su Dongpo. How to say that the two are also confidants who are also teachers and friends, if you want to say that the two have nothing to do with each other, first ask Su Fan who is all over the world if he agrees.
"What, your armrest is still there?"
When Tian Lao heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Anyway, your house is not far away, go back and ask someone to send it over." ”
"No problem."
Wang Guan said briskly: "If necessary, I will send it directly to the cultural center......
The two sang and harmonized, but it made Tan's shopkeeper entangled. He didn't know that the two of them were squeezing themselves, but even if he knew some things, he had to obediently fall into the trap. This is a conspiracy, and it can't be resolved at all.
