Chapter 1022: Eight Mountain People
PS: It's late in the month, ask for a monthly pass to support it, thank you.
It is not clear whether the Banshan Temple can become a famous temple treasure temple Wang Guan, but I know that I have not seen him for a while, but the monk in the middle of the mountain has become more and more solemn, and he looks like a virtuous monk.
Of course, the monk himself has the demeanor of a master, and after more than half a year of training, his cultivation must be more and more sophisticated, and between his gestures, he is naturally becoming more and more stylish.
"Amitabha."
At the right time, the monk in the middle of the mountain smiled and said, "Lord Wang is joking again." ”
"The truth, the absolute truth."
After some greetings, Wang Guan sat down, took the tea handed by the monk in the middle of the mountain, took a slight sip, and felt a peaceful atmosphere surrounding.
However, it is not the role of the tea, but the arrangement of the abbot's room, which gives people such a feeling. The pure wooden structure of the room is full of Tang Dynasty-style coffee tables and tables, as well as pieces of intricately woven futons.
Sitting in the middle, you can see the high walls and red tiles outside the window, and a few bitter bamboos waving in the wind. Between the mountain breezes, you can not only hear the sound of bamboo branches swaying, but also hear the sound of wooden fish bells.
Such an environment naturally creates a sense of tranquility and tranquility, which makes people feel soothing and very comfortable. Speaking of which, it is full of the hustle and bustle of city life, so for modern people, the silence of the ancient temple in the deep mountains is an irresistible temptation.
Wang Guan sat for a while, enjoying the quiet atmosphere.
"This fully shows that the king benefactor has a relationship with the Buddha." At the same time, the monk in the middle of the mountains said in an old tune: "Since you know the hustle and bustle of the red world, why don't you just become a monk and escape the world?" ”
"I'm ready to get married, and I'm going to have a family." Wang Guan rolled his eyes.
"Amitabha, it's a pity." When the monk heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes were full of the sigh of a good young man, who was willing to fall like this.
In this regard. Wang Guan felt that he had no common language with the monk in the middle of the mountain, so he naturally did not match this tone. His eyes also swept over the abbot's room, and suddenly he also made a discovery.
"Huh."
At the right time, Wang Guan was surprised: "Master, what a Yaxing, this painting was painted by yourself?" ”
Yu Feibai and Tang Qinghua hurriedly looked, only to see that there was indeed a painting hanging in the wall. The mid-levels monk is good, this is something that everyone knows, but I didn't expect it. He actually knows how to draw.
"It's not."
However, the monk shook his head and said, "This is something sent by a guest, hoping that the poor monk will help to consecrate and pray for blessings." ”
"Oh."
Wang Guan and the others were stunned, and they didn't feel strange. After all, in these years, whether it is a powerful person or a wealthy businessman, they prefer to find a monk to help open the light, and the things sent are even more strange. The calligraphy and painting are quite normal, and there are other luxury cars, luxury watches, pens and mobile phones, and so on.
Wang Guan also heard about it. Someone brought the wine he wanted to drink and asked the master to consecrate.
In this regard, Wang Guan could only sigh, the forest is really big, and there are all kinds of birds. Then again. At the moment, this painting seems to be a bird, a rather strange bird.
After a closer look, Wang Guan was surprised: "It seems to be a painting of Bada Shanren." ”
"That's right. It's really a painting of the Eight Greats. Yu Feibai looked at it and immediately agreed.
"Bada Shanren, one of the four monks of the Qing Dynasty?"
It has been in business for a long time. Tang Qinghua also knows some common sense more or less, and naturally knows the details of the Bada Mountain people.
As one of the most famous painters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Bada Shanren has a very strong reputation. Both at the time and in later generations, it was very sought after.
For example, the great painter Qi Baishi once wrote poems to praise, including a sentence, Qingteng Snow is far away. Qingteng, but Xu Wei Xu Wenchang, Tianchi Mountain People, Tianchi Yuyin, Qingteng Old Man.
As for the snow, it is naturally the Bada Mountain People. He was originally the grandson of the king of the Ming Dynasty, but after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the country was ruined, and he simply became a monk in a sad and angry mood, saying that he did not belong to the secular people and did not accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty. To this day, everyone also admires the patriotic sentiments of the Bada Shanren.
Of course, the most important thing is the works of the Bada Shanren, the characteristics of the brush and ink are good at laissez-faire, vigorous and round, clear and elegant, whether large or small, there are simple and hearty and bright and healthy wind gods. The structure of the chapter is unconventional, seeking completeness in the incomplete, extremely creative, and has a far-reaching impact.
The Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Shanghai School in the late Qing Dynasty, and the modern masters such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Pan Tianshou, and Li Kuchan were all deeply influenced by his painting style. All in all, Bada Shanren's works are very expressive in the market, to put it bluntly, the price is very high, and it is normal for them to be worth tens of millions, even if they break 100 million.
"Lord Wang has good eyesight."
At the same time, the monk in the middle of the mountain praised: "That's right, this is exactly the painting of the Bada Shanren." ”
"It's not much eyesight."
At this time, Wang Guan shook his head and smiled: "To be honest, in my opinion, among many painters, the calligraphy and painting of the Bada Shanren are the best to identify." Especially the pictures of flowers, birds, fish and insects must be accurate at a glance. ”
"Yes."
In an instant, Yu Feibai also nodded again and again: "I think so too." ”
"Why?" Tang Qinghua was a little surprised, obviously he only knew about the Bada Shanren, but he didn't know it thoroughly enough, otherwise he wouldn't have asked like this.
"Simple."
At the right time, Wang Guan said with a smile: "The flowers, birds, fish and insects of the Bada Mountain People have very distinct themes, and the characteristics are extremely prominent. As long as you pay close attention, if you see the eyes of birds and fish, as if you roll your eyes, there is a chance that it will be the work of the Eight Great Ones. ”
"Rolling your eyes?"
Tang Qinghua was stunned for a moment, then compared the pictures on the wall, and immediately understood the meaning.
The main thing is that there are such significant characteristics in the paintings of the Bada Shanren. When painting the eyes of fish and birds, I prefer to use symbolic techniques, a bit of exaggeration to draw the eyes wide, but the pupils are only a small point, and most of them are whites.
It is this kind of white-eyed characteristic that is actually dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but he is powerless to fight, so he can only express his disdain and nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, it is this distinctive feature that brings a lot of convenience to everyone's identification. Almost at a glance, it is possible to confirm that the thing is the work of the Bada Shanren, and then it is necessary to verify the authenticity of it.
However, those who dare to send it to the consecration should be genuine. After all, with the vision of a monk in the middle of the mountain, if someone brought a fake to ask him to open the light, he would definitely politely refuse, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.
"The paintings of the Eight Great Masters need to be carefully viewed."
While speaking, Wang Guan also stood up and walked to the wall to take a look. He also has some admiration for the Bada Mountain People. After all, according to the geographical division, he and the Bada Shanren are fellow villagers.
For most of his life, Bada Shanren should have wandered around the world, but in his later years, he lived in seclusion in Nanchang. In the current Nanchang, there is a Bada Shanren Memorial Hall. It is because of the experience of traveling in various places that the works of the Bada Shanren are natural, concise, majestic, and unique, creating a lofty and vertical style.
When you draw fish and birds, you must roll your eyes. Painting landscapes, taking more of the desolate and sparse scenery, the remaining mountains and residual water, the feeling of Yangsai overflowing in the paper, it can be said that there are no ink spots and many tears, and the mountains and rivers are still the old mountains and rivers.
"Is it genuine, or is it a fake?"
At the same time, Yu Feibai also asked curiously. Even if it is certain that it is not a modern fake, it may be an imitation of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. You must know that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, that is, a hundred years after the death of Bada Shanren, his fakes have spread all over the world, and Wu Changshuo issued a sigh of unbearable appearance in the world of Bada Shanren's paintings in the Republic of China.
After all, during the Republic of China, due to the demand of overseas markets, especially Japan, the eight major forgeries were flooded, whether it was flowers and birds, landscapes, and calligraphy. Among the many imitations, the famous painter Zhang Daqian forged the highest super realism, he can not only imitate, but also according to the eight painting styles of the wall.
And because it is so realistic, many imitations are still collected in museums at home and abroad. Up to now, the paintings of the Bada Shanren are even more mixed, and many fakes have been included in various catalogues.
In addition, with the prosperity of the domestic art auction market in recent years, the calligraphy and painting market has heated up rapidly, and the number of forgeries of Bada Shanren has also increased year by year. Although there are more than dozens of Bada Shanren works that appear in each auction, according to insiders, less than two-thirds of them are authentic.
Kind-hearted, that is the old imitation of the Republic of China, not kind enough, directly use the recent new imitation fakes to fool people. Moreover, some of the imitations are quite inferior, and the pen and ink are rough, and at a glance it is clear that they are fakes.
Of course, at the moment, this work is naturally impossible to fake at a glance. On the contrary, it is very charming. It depicts a rugged trunk of a tree with a strange bird on it. The strange bird perched on the branches, its wings tightly folded, but its head turned sideways, and among its peanut-sized eyes, only a little the size of a mung bean was a little bigger, and most of the rest were blank.
Such a posture, such a demeanor, showing people with white eyes, as if despising someone, is full of arrogance and cynicism. The style of the picture reveals a vigorous and simple atmosphere in the desolate and cold cable, which is the unique style of the Bada Shanren, which is easy to recognize.
In fact, Wang Guan feels that the reason why Bada Shanren can be famous all over the world is largely because he created this generation of painting style. Compared with other mediocre painters, his works have a high recognition rate, and when you see works of this style, you can directly associate them with Bada Shanren, and his fame naturally accumulates over time and becomes an irresistible trend.
However, the style is similar, which may not be the real thing, and needs to be carefully identified.
"The book looks real."
At the right time, Yu Feibai habitually looked at the quality of his works. After all, a book is like a person's signature, and under normal circumstances, it is easier to see some clues.
Especially the signatures of the Bada Shanren in their later years, often write the Bada and the Shanren vertically. The first two words are like crying words and laughing words, while the last two words are similar words, alluding to crying and laughing, that is, crying and laughing.
Anyway, such a book is very tasteful, and ordinary people can't imitate it...... (To be continued......)
