Chapter 1030: The World's Greatest Art
PS: The second more is asking for a monthly pass, please support more.
Qu Yuan should not be the first person to sing with songs, but he is certainly an outstanding representative of it. After all, at that time, there were other people's articles that were well written, such as Song Yu.
Song Yu is also a writer of resignation at the same time as Qu Yuan, and a piece of Deng's disciple's lustful fu made future generations fully realize what it means to be unparalleled in argumentation, so that Deng's disciple has become synonymous with perverts. However, unlike Qu Yuan, who is famous for his patriotism, although Song Yu writes well, he is famous in history for being handsome.
After all, when it comes to beautiful men in ancient times, there must be Pan An Song Yu among them. may be too handsome, so that many people ignore their own talents, so that many people don't know at all that Song Yu's knowledge of resignation is not inferior to Qu Yuan at all.
It's just that because Song Yu's article is too gorgeous, although there is also a side of worrying about the country and the people, it is not much exaggerated, and it is easy for people to ignore the past. In this case, it is estimated that many people think that he is "Israelite", and the evaluation is naturally not high.
This is also normal, take Jing Ke as an example, even if there is no feat of assassinating the King of Qin, just with a song of Yi Shui, he can also move the world. According to historical records, Jing Ke will assassinate the King of Qin for Prince Dan of Yan, and Prince Dan will serve him by Yishui. Gao gradually left the attack, Jing Ke's sad song was sluggish and cold, and the strong man was gone and never returned.
Because the singing was so tragic that the listener was disgusted, he used his finger crown. After singing a paragraph, I only heard Jing Ke raise his head and sigh, and a rainbow appeared in the sky. Gao gradually took advantage of the situation to change a tune, the music became more exciting, and Jing Ke then sang sadly to explore the tiger's den and enter the Jiao Palace, looking up to the sky and exhaling into a white rainbow.
A song of easy water, the last sentence of the wind blows easy water cold, rendering a desolate and tragic atmosphere. The next sentence is full of desperate feelings, knowing that there is no return, but resolutely going. Never look back. The song is vividly embodied here, and it is no wonder that it has become a classic.
It is no wonder that some people say that the literary works of the pre-Qin Dynasty only need to study Lao Zhuang Confucius and Mencius, plus a Qu Yuan, and a Jing Ke is enough. This is certainly biased, but it is not unreasonable.
Take Qu Yuan's Nine Songs as an example, although it was processed by him collecting folk sacred music songs, but in the process of processing, he carried a lot of private goods. Posterity can completely rely on what happened to him. Speculate on his mood when he wrote these articles.
In addition, it should also be noted that this picture scroll of nine songs was rejected by the technique of drawing characters in white. Speaking of which, this is also the second time that Wang Guan has seen such a long and large-scale white drawing after Confucius's holy traces. The author of the drawings, in particular, lifted his spirits.
"This is Li Longmian's Nine Songs Picture Scroll."
In an instant, not only did Wang see the knowledge, but Zhou Lao and the others naturally noticed it. For a moment, everyone had a bit of surprise on their faces.
Li Longmian. But it was Li Gonglin, a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, especially his name Longmian, so later generations called him Li Longmian.
According to literary and historical records, Li Gonglin was born in a famous family. There are a lot of books on ancient artifacts and paintings in the family, and he is knowledgeable since he was a child, good at ancient times, and knowledgeable words. Since the Xia Shang Dynasty, Zhong Ding Zun Yi has been able to test the world and distinguish the style. In other words, Li Gonglin is also a famous expert in history. It is because of his ability that he once personally identified the jade seal of the country.
According to historical records, in the third year of Song Shaosheng, Duan Yi, a citizen of Chengyang County, obtained the ancient jade seal, and said that he repaired the house in Liuyin Village, Henan Township, and dug the ground to get it, and there was a light room. Four years, above, the Ministry of Imperial Rites, the following of the Imperial History Observatory. Among the officials who were appraised, there was Li Gonglin, and in the end, he made the final decision and concluded that the thing was the real heirloom seal.
Of course, Li Gonglin's identity as a master is not as famous as his identity as a master of painting. He was diligent all his life, painted countless paintings, and was omnipotent and omnipotent in figures, historical facts, interpretations, scholars, landscapes, saddle horses, animals, flowers and birds.
The most important thing is that his white drawings are deeply rooted in the essence of Wu Daozi, and his brushstrokes are swept away with powder, light ink, elegant and superelegant, and are called the world's best art by later generations.
It is important to know that among Chinese painting techniques, line drawing is one of the most distinctive techniques, and the white drawing method, which depicts real objects purely with lines and shades of ink, can be said to be the highest and purest stage in the development of line drawing techniques. However, Li Gonglin's white drawing technique is a model model that later generations follow in learning painting, like the head of a group of dragons, so that future generations have passed it down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Everyone thinks that Li Gonglin can gather the strengths of all families, get his great success, learn from nature, boldly innovate, become a family of his own, and be respected by future generations as the first master and a hundred generations of grandmasters. Some people even think that Wu Daozi's painting skills are the first person in ancient and modern times, but after Li Gonglin's painting skills are completed, Wu Daozi cannot be called unique in the world.
To be able to get such praise shows that Li Gonglin's painting art is amazing. Then it is also conceivable that if this picture scroll of nine songs is really from Li Gonglin's handwriting, it can definitely be called a rare treasure.
"That's right, it must be Li Longmian's real handiwork."
At the same time, an expert reluctantly restrained his excitement and carefully commented: "You see, the whole painting is mainly based on the white drawing technique of line outline, and the pen is very old and clean, elegant and beautiful, concise and smooth, ancient and refined, making the characters more vivid and expressive, full of a very decorative beauty." ”
After the portrait of Qu Yuan, according to the plot of the original poem of the Nine Songs, the images of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Yunzhongjun, Xiangjun, and Xiangjun were drawn one by one. From the brushwork, we can know that the painter skillfully uses the length of the line, the twist, the straight change, the smooth flying, like the flowing water, so that the figure is full of different charm. ”
While speaking, the expert was full of praise: "It is worthy of being a famous master, and it is wonderful." ”
"Don't rush to get a diagnosis."
In contrast, Zhou Lao is more calm: "The brushwork style of the picture is only one of the bases for judgment. Don't forget that in addition to Li Longmian, Zhang Wu, a painter in the Yuan Dynasty, also had such skills. ”
"Yi Zhi is right."
At this time, someone next to him agreed: "Zhang Wu's method of Li Longmian has a beautiful and smooth style, and he is famous for his white characters." Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, his line drawing technique has been regarded as a model of iron line drawing in the eighteen strokes of the characters, and has the reputation of being a person after Li Longmian and a wonderful world. The most important thing is that the Nine Songs is also his masterpiece of fame. ”
"You think it's a copy?"
No one thinks it's a fake, after all, all the people present are big connoisseurs, and whether it's a fake or not can be seen at a glance.
However, if it is a copy, it is a different matter. After all, it cannot be denied that some of the copied works are so vivid that even experts do not dare to assume that their judgments must be 100% accurate.
This is a rather embarrassing fact, for appraisers, they are not afraid of fakes, they are afraid of old imitations. Because the old imitation things, after the passage of time, naturally erased some flaws. In this case, it naturally brings some difficulties to the identification of future generations, as if it is ambiguous, and it is not easy to judge the authenticity.
"Lao Chen, you go."
At this moment, someone urged: "Take a look, is there any problem with these prints?" ”
The so-called art industry has a specialization, and it is obvious that the expert Chen specializes in the study of money seals. He is very knowledgeable about the style seal, and even a gold and stone seal carver himself.
Expert Chen is not only the top two, but also the top ten. After a few moments, he came to the conclusion: "That's right, there's nothing wrong with the style." There are not only the seals of Li Longmian itself, but also the collection and appreciation seals of the Southern Song Dynasty......"
All of a sudden, Expert Chen told the origin of each seal in detail. From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Republic of China, there was nothing missing at all. This ability really made Wang Guan amazed and envious.
Later, another person came out to study the pages of the painting carefully, and also judged that this was an ancient paper from the Song Dynasty. The printing paper is right, and then it is time to study the framing. However, there seems to be some problems in the mounting, according to expert analysis, the traces of this mounting do not seem to be the techniques of the Song Dynasty, but like the techniques of the Ming Dynasty.
It was only after careful study by that expert that everyone found out that it was a false alarm. Because judging from the traces of retouching, this work may have been damaged in the Ming Dynasty, so the collector asked a master to reframe it. After discovering this detail, everyone has their own judgment on the authenticity of the work.
After another ten minutes of study, everyone exchanged opinions with each other, and then nodded in unison.
"Eighty percent true."
Eight achievements are okay, this is the habit of appraisers, no matter how sure they are, they are used to leaving room for them. lest you find new evidence later and overturn your conclusions, then there is also a chance to slow down.
"In that case, the painting can remain." As he spoke, Wang Guan smiled and gestured. Mr. Anderson naturally had no opinion, and immediately asked people to file records.
After identifying a national cultural relic, Zhou Lao and the others were also very happy, but as they spread out another scroll, everyone also restrained their mood and continued to look carefully.
At first glance, it turns out that it is a purely calligraphic calligraphy, and it is also cursive. To be honest, for cursive, if you haven't learned it, the average person will definitely not be able to understand it.
Some people may think that cursive writing is actually a scribble, and there is no connotation at all.
This is certainly not true, after all, if cursive is really just a scribble, then why have only a handful of cursive scripts been respected by the world for thousands of years?
The Han Dynasty in China was the beginning of cursive writing. At first, the pen style of Zhang Cao was based on the official book, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the pen was in a plump and fat form, and the typical representative was Wang Xizhi's leopard slave post.
However, the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi, when commenting on ancient and modern calligraphy, also said that his calligraphy, compared to Zhong Zhang (Zhong Xuan, Zhang Zhi), should resist or surpass them. However, Zhang Zhi's cursive writing is so proficient that the water in the pond is black. If I indulge in this, I may not lose to Zhang Zhi's cursive.
Not necessarily, this is a hypothetical tone, indicating that Wang Xizhi also feels that in terms of cursive, he is inferior to Zhang Zhi...... (To be continued......)
