Chapter 967 Painting Red People Are Not Red
PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month, please support it.
"I'm sorry, please get a ticket and come again."
"I'm sorry, you're tomorrow's ticket, please come back tomorrow......"
All of a sudden, the scene was chaotic and orderly, and many people happily entered the museum, and naturally some people who were fishing in troubled waters were persuaded to leave.
Of course, there were security guards in front of him, and there were cameras next to him to pay attention, and they found that they couldn't touch the fish in the muddy water, so they could only obediently retreat. After all, in a big city, basic qualities still need to be had.
Anyway, the door opened at eight o'clock, and it wasn't until after nine o'clock that all the people with tickets entered the museum, and none of them were absent. For every ticket sold, someone came.
After that, the doors were locked and the museum was closed, blocking thousands of people from the outside. At the same time, in the museum, the treasures are also taken out by special people, which naturally makes many people sigh in amazement.
If it weren't for the fact that photography is strictly forbidden in the museum, it is estimated that the glitter would have been intertwined like rain at this time. However, there is no need for a sparkling foil, because the treasure itself is dazzling and shiny enough. Seeing these things, many people's eyes flashed, but it was the reflection of the pearl light, which made people lose their mind and be confused for a while.
"Sure enough, it's worthy of the name."
In an instant, many people sighed and felt that the tickets they had bothered to buy were worth it.
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. But after the treasures are exhibited, both insiders and outsiders are first impressed by the charm and have been completely intoxicated. After half a ring, some people gradually came to their senses and called on the museum staff to demonstrate the mystery of the treasure.
After all, among the many treasures, in addition to a few things that can be directly viewed in them, there are also some that require manual cooperation to be able to reflect the wonderful characteristics of the treasures. For example, the bottle of dead wood in spring, the painting of Zhong Kui that appears when it encounters water, and the holy pottery cup that fills the empty cup with water and fragrance. And......
"Huh."
At this moment, a man counting the treasures was astonished: "There is another cup, why is it missing?" ”
"What cup?"
"The cup that turns wine into blood."
In the dialogue between the two, many people woke up, which inevitably caused an uproar. A treasure is missing, this is a big thing, is it a self-theft? It's no wonder that everyone is conjecturing like this, after all, over the years, there have been repeated news of thefts in museums around the world, and the reasons given are untenable. It really raises suspicions about this.
Of course, smart people know that now these treasures are on the cusp, so no one should be blinded by lard and dare to risk the world's condemnation to play this farce with everyone's attention, right?
In the midst of different opinions, the person in charge of the museum had to stand up and refute the rumors, and said that this matter had nothing to do with them. It's the decision of the Xiyi Museum, and they are just carrying it out. As for why the Xiyi Museum did this, the person in charge of the museum immediately invited Wang Guan to the stage.
"Thank you for your concern."
At this time. Wang Guan was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with an old-fashioned hairstyle, and a pair of flat glasses, he suddenly became very mature and stable. At least over thirty years old.
However, Wang Guan's age is not the focus of everyone's attention. They are more concerned about where their treasures go. In particular, some foreigners with high noses and deep eye sockets are even more strongly protesting at this time.
In this regard, Wang Guan was very calm, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please rest assured, there is no accident or theft of things, and it has been sent back to the capital now." Naturally, there are reasons why we should bring things back. Rest easy, let's take a closer look at our replacements. ”
While speaking, Wang Guan gave a soft order, and naturally a few security guards walked out, set up a cordon in the clearing, and then two more people came out. Two white-gloved men, one of whom holds a scroll in his hand.
At this time, at the signal of Wang Guan, the man untied the scroll, and then each person took one end and spread it out carefully. All of a sudden, a beautiful scroll appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"What's that?"
"Painting, a drawing."
Someone stood behind and couldn't see clearly, so he had to stand on tiptoe. However, there were also people who were lucky enough to stand next to them, and they were very surprised to find out that the scroll was a picture.
Of course, it was not Wang Guan who asked people to draw pictures, but the accidental pictures themselves. After all, this long scroll is different from landscape painting and gongbi painting, but a white drawing. So at first glance, many people were stunned and surprised.
"It's like a comic book."
At the same time, someone blurted out a big truth. After all, this is true, the long scroll itself has continuity and storytelling, and strictly speaking, it also belongs to the category of comic books.
"It's not a comic strip, it's like an illustration of a novel in the seventies and eighties."
Some of them looked at the long scroll carefully and frowned. The eyes are full of doubt, is such a thing really precious? Isn't there anything greasy about being qualified to replace the magic cup?
When these people were suspicious, some experts were very excited, and naturally they saw the way out.
"Confucius Miracle Map!"
"The lines are smooth, the clothes are flying, and Wu is in the wind, is it the true work of Wu Daozi?"
At this moment, a group of experts are not calm, especially the old expert yesterday, relying on the fact that this is his own territory, directly crossing this cordon, and carefully starting to study.
Of course, it was mainly Wang Guan's secret signal, otherwise the security guards would have stopped him. And not only the old experts, but some sharp-eyed people also found that there were a few smiling old people standing next to them, who were the great experts of the Forbidden City. These people were specially invited by Qian Lao to help with the Confucius Miracle Map and confirm to everyone that the things are genuine.
Not only is the Forbidden City an expert, Wang Guan has also launched a network of contacts, inviting some local experts in Shanghai to appear and let them appreciate and verify it in public. Seeing this situation, other people realized that this seemingly comic book was actually not as simple as it seemed, and it was natural to look at it carefully.
After carefully watching, everyone was surprised to find that the character patterns on this long scroll seem to be just simple outlines, but in fact the lines are very detailed, especially for the depiction of the characters' clothing and hair, which is simply meticulous, and naturally has a unique beauty, which is a hundred times more vivid and vivid than pure comic books and novel illustrations.
Originally, whether it was a comic book or a novel illustration, it was essentially a product of engraving. No matter how vivid the original manuscript is, it must look very dull after printing.
However, this long scroll of Confucius's holy deeds is purely depicted with pen and ink lines. Different scenes, different character changes, but there is no similarity at all. In the preface of the legendary Lan Ting, Wang Xizhi wrote twenty-one characters in different forms, but in this long scroll, there are hundreds of characters that appear, to say the least.
Among them, Confucius and his disciples must often appear, but when they appear in different scenes, the texture of the characters' clothing and demeanor are completely different. Aware of this, you should know that the author of the long scroll poured his heart and soul into this painting, and it is definitely not comparable to the illustrations of comic books or novels.
Under the explanation of experts, everyone can understand the value of things, which can be described as a national treasure.
It is safe to say that white drawing should be the basis of all kinds of drawings, just like Westerners also have to practice sketching before learning oil painting, the ancient Chinese also started with white drawing at the beginning.
However, it was the murals of the Southern Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties that developed the white drawing to the extreme. During this period, due to the prevalence of Taoist religious paintings in Buddhist temples, murals were popular, and the manuscript of the murals, that is, Xiaoxiang, naturally became popular.
Under normal circumstances, these manuscripts must have been discarded after the mural was completed. However, there are also people who have preserved it, and in modern times it has become the most precious work. Especially the great painters such as Yan Liben, Wu Daozi, Han Yun, etc., the works they left behind can be called a must, and they are well-deserved national treasures.
Suddenly, someone whispered: "Yan Liben and Wu Daozi are familiar, but who is that Han Huang?" ”
"Isn't it, I don't even know the author of the Five Ox Picture, one of China's top ten famous paintings?"
"Lonely and unheard, the five ox picture is one of the few authentic works of paper and silk painting in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the oldest existing Chinese painting on paper, which can be called the treasure of the town and country, and it is extremely rare and precious......"
In ancient times, it was an agrarian society, and great importance was attached to cattle and horses. Therefore, these two animal painting themes have endured for a long time, and there are still people who tirelessly enter the paintings. Horse paintings and not mention, eight horses or something, there is no shortage of fine works in the past dynasties. But when it comes to cows, we have to mention the five cow diagrams.
Zhao Mengfu, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty, once praised the commentary, Wuniu was spirited, and he was also a famous pen. In modern times, some people praise the five ox pictures as the treasure of the town, so you can also know the status of things. However, what is more embarrassing is that the five cow pictures are very famous, but ordinary people rarely pay attention to its author, which is quite a bit of a red person is not popular.
Not only Han Yun, but also the authors of many famous paintings, such as Han Xizai's night banquet, it is estimated that not many people can say that its author is Gu Hongzhong, a painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the fifth generation, maybe they think that the author is Han Xizai himself.
Speaking of which, Wu Zongyuan is also like this, although he has similar painting skills to Wu Daozi, but for various reasons, except for connoisseurs, ordinary people have never heard of the name Wu Zongyuan, which is a bit buried.
Of course, ordinary people don't pay attention to it, they just watch the excitement, but there are discerning people among the connoisseurs. After carefully viewing the long scroll, I immediately came to the preliminary conclusion that this is a silk from the Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that it should belong to Song paintings. However, the long scroll style is full of the style of Wu Daozi Wu in the Tang Dynasty, and may be the work of the Song people copying Tang paintings.
"No, it's definitely not a copy......"
At this moment, someone opened his mouth to retort, and his voice was full of categorical affirmation. (To be continued......)
