Chapter 968: A New Round of Craze

PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month, please support me, thank you.

Hearing someone retort, everyone naturally looked over.

Everyone has the heart of gossip. Some people like to be smooth and steady, while others prefer twists and turns. Anyway, for people who watch the excitement, they are never afraid of big things, but they are afraid that things are not big enough. Now that someone has come forward to refute the experts' opinions, many people are very excited and immediately realize that there is a good show to watch.

"Huh."

At the same time, Wang glanced at it and found that the person who spoke was Mr. Kong, who had recently established the Dongxu Museum in the capital. When I returned to the capital, I heard Qian Lao say that he went to visit a friend, but he didn't expect to be in Shanghai.

Of course, an accident is an accident, and Wang Guan is not rude, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let me go over and see. ”

At this time, Mr. Kong did not have the intention of being polite, and after getting Wang Guan's permission, he immediately bypassed the security guard and walked to the side of the long scroll to watch. However, unlike the other people's expressions of amazement, his face was more complicated, and naturally there was exclamation, but more of it was excitement, an indescribable excitement.

Seeing this situation, Wang Guan's heart immediately moved, and he thought about it. Mr. Kong's surname is Kong, could it be that it has something to do with the Kong family in Qufu? It's no wonder that he guessed like this, mainly because after more than 2,000 years of China had a Confucian saint, people now can't help but have such associations when they meet people with the surname Kong.

After all, Confucius's name is too loud, regardless of whether the surname Kong has anything to do with Confucius or not, they are willing to respect him as their ancestor. According to the theory that the same surname was one family five hundred years ago, this is not a misidentification of ancestors, the most important thing is that there is a saint ancestor, no matter how you look at it, you will not suffer.

"You say this is not a copy, what do you think?"

At this time, some experts asked, but they were not questioning. After all, he said it at the beginning, and this is only a preliminary judgment. It needs to be further verified, if Mr. Kong has other views, everyone can exchange ideas.

It is important to know that it is important to stick to your own judgment when appraisal, but you should not be stubborn and not listen to other opinions. Listening is clear, partial light is dark, brainstorming, other people's appraisal results, can also be used as a reference.

"This is not a Tang painting. It is a real Song painting. Mr. Kong was very sure: "The author is Wu Zongyuan. ”

"What."

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly surprised.

Of course, what surprised some people was who was Wu Zongyuan? Others were surprised by how Mr. Kong was so sure that the author of the long scroll was Wu Zongyuan? But then again, it doesn't seem impossible......

For connoisseurs, the name Wu Zongyuan will definitely not be unfamiliar. After all, his painting style is very similar to Wu Daozi, which is a recognized fact in ancient and modern times. Until now, some people are skeptical. The National Treasure Eighty-Seven Immortal Scroll is Wu Daozi's handwritten painting or Wu Zongyuan's masterpiece.

The main thing is that the styles of the two are too similar, in the absence of a seal. No one can be 100% sure that the work must be the work of one person, so naturally there is controversy.

However, now Mr. Kong's tone is certain, as if he has a bamboo in his chest. It's kind of weird. At this time, an expert from the Forbidden City also knew Mr. Kong, and simply asked, "Brother Kong." Is there any basis for this? ”

"Of course I have a basis."

While speaking, Mr. Kong's eyes flashed with a trace of remembrance and sighed: "My surname is Kong, and this painting is a picture of Confucius's holy miracles, do you think I can be sure?" ”

"Huh?"

For a moment, some people were thoughtful, and many more were confused. At this moment, someone broke the mystery: "Brother Confucius wants to say that this painting used to be the treasure of the Confucian Mansion?" ”

As a family that has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, even in the midst of the change of dynasty, it has always stood tall. If there is no collection in the house, it is estimated that no one will believe it. Especially after arriving in the Republic of China, domestic and foreign forces are complicated, and there must be many people who have the idea of punching holes.

However, to the surprise of many people, the collection of the Confucian Mansion does not seem to be as much as everyone imagined, and even the Confucian family, which is known as one of the four major families of the Republic of China, has most of the wealth looted, not rich in itself.

Of course, some people say that the Kong Xiangxi family is not a descendant after all, so naturally it has not been able to inherit the wealth accumulated by the Confucian Mansion for more than 2,000 years. However, this does not make sense, because the last Yan Sheng Gong went overseas before the founding of the country. However, after research, it was found that the life of this last Yan Sheng Gong did not seem to be luxurious, and it was not to the point of being rich enough to rival the country.

Therefore, some people think that the so-called accumulation of two thousand years of collection, huge wealth, etc., may be just a legend. However, some people feel that maybe the Kong family saw that the situation was not good, and quietly buried things. But when the four olds were broken, the Confucian Mansion definitely couldn't escape the fate of being robbed, but I didn't hear that anything was found.

Then from that time on, the legend about the treasures of Confucius Mansion also slowly faded. It's just that the experts of the Forbidden City are people who came from that era after all, and they have also heard of this legend, so they couldn't help but ask tentatively at this time.

In this regard, Mr. Kong avoided answering, and just asked in turn: "Do you know the Holy Miracle Hall in the Confucian Mansion in Qufu?" ”

"The Temple of Miracles?"

At the same time, someone suddenly reacted: "By the way, I almost forgot, the scene of this long scroll is very similar to the stone carvings in the Holy Miracle Temple, is it the same origin?" ”

"It's not clear whether it's the same origin, but it's definitely very related."

Under Mr. Kong's reminder, many people reacted one after another. After a little comparison, I couldn't help but guess, and then I was a little more curious and wanted to know the answer.

At this time, some people directly asked the question that everyone was more concerned about: "Brother Confucius means that this long scroll is actually a sample of the painting and carving of the Holy Miracle Temple?" ”

"Even if you don't hit it, it's not far away." Mr. Kong nodded and said: "You can check the historical materials, you can know that the Holy Miracle Hall was built in the Song Dynasty during the Zhenzong period, before the stone carving was woodcut, but the woodcut model was depicted by Wu Zongyuan, and after getting the approval of Emperor Zhenzong, the craftsman was asked to paint and engrave it in the Holy Miracle Hall." ”

After the woodcut was completed, the sample of the drawing was carefully kept by the Kong family. Then it was passed down from generation to generation, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it suddenly disappeared. ”

Mr. Kong hesitated, and no longer avoided it, but said bluntly: "This matter is recorded in some notes handed down by the Kong family. I thought that the scroll had been destroyed in the war, but I didn't expect it to be still in the world. ”

"You see, the end of the scroll, there are two characters of Maoxian, this is the character of Kong Yanshi, the forty-fifth generation descendant of the Confucian family, in the Song Zhenzong period, he was the Qufu order, attacked the Fengwen Xuangong, and was responsible for the expansion project of the Confucian Mansion......"

Mr. Kong counted it carefully, selected a few representative inscriptions, and then sorted out a clear context, which can be described as an orderly inheritance and passed down from generation to generation. However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it came to an abrupt end, and it directly confirmed Mr. Kong's statement that things disappeared during this period.

"I didn't expect things to fall into the hands of Brother Qian."

At this moment, Mr. Kong was full of emotion, and there was a vague sense of complaint in his tone: "Why didn't you mention it when you visited his house last time......

When Wang Guan heard it, he should not hear it, and he couldn't explain that the thing was not Qian Lao's, but he had only recently discovered it. In this case, the sensation is a sensation, but the local cultural department uses this as a reason to let themselves hand in something?

In any case, under the confirmation of Mr. Confucius, everyone understood the origin of the long scroll and knew its preciousness. It can be said that it is a rare treasure with great ornamental value.

Of course, the most important thing is freshness. After all, during this time, with the strong support of the media, everyone has become familiar with the treasures of the exhibition. Although I was amazed and liked it very much when I visited just now, it was inevitable that I felt a little less excited. But now it's different, and it's like an unexpected surprise, which naturally makes people very happy.

It is expected that after the news comes out, it will definitely trigger a new round of viewing craze.

But that's another story. Anyway, after introducing the origin of the long scroll, a group of experts also left the venue with interest, making way for the people who bought tickets to come in to take a closer look.

At the same time, Mr. Kong also found Wang Guan, and seemed to want to ask the teacher for guilt.

Seeing this, Wang Guan hurriedly said: "Old Kong, this painting ......"

"I didn't ask you about painting." Mr. Kong waved his hand and said hesitantly, "Will you be empty later?" ”

"What?" Wang Guan was a little stunned and said, "Old Kong, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's that a friend wants to get to know you." Mr. Kong muttered: "After knowing that we met, he asked me to greet you, and by the way, I wanted to set up a banquet at noon to treat you well, I wonder if you are free?" ”

"I haven't had anything to do in the past two days, but I'm relatively free." Wang Guan frowned slightly and said, "However, who wants to know me?" ”

The implication is, does that person simply want to know himself, or does he do something through himself? It's not that Wang Guan is sensitive and likes to think crankily, but he has learned from the past and has to guard against it. After all, since he was in charge of the tour, he has dealt with all kinds of people, and among these people, there are also some people who have a simple purpose.

In this regard, Wang Guan is also a little accustomed to it, no matter how these people beat around the bush and knock on the side, they pretend not to understand, but they are very disappointed. But in the face of huge interests, there are always people who don't give up and go forward to contact Wang Guan one after another, which makes him very annoying, but he can't avoid it. It's like now, Mr. Kong has spoken, how can he refuse, of course he wants to sell some face.

"A friend."

Sensing the looseness in Wang Guan's tone, Mr. Kong also smiled and said, "Little friend doesn't need to worry too much, he just wants to make friends with you, and he has no purpose." ”

"If that's the case......"

Wang Guan would definitely not believe this kind of low-level clichΓ©, but on the surface, he said with a smile: "Okay, someone has a treat, and if you don't go, you won't go in vain." By the way, can you bring two friends? (To be continued......)
