Chapter 722: Dongpo Deyan Map
PS: Monthly passes, monthly passes, are there really no more, please support you.
In the praise of everyone, Tian Lao shook his head again and again, waved his hand and smiled: "Fortunately, you didn't say that I am a calligrapher, otherwise I am afraid that I would have jumped into the lake in shame." ”
In the midst of talking and laughing, everyone's topic naturally returned to calligraphy and painting. This is not a difficult thing for Wang Guan, anyway, he knows a lot of ancient and modern calligraphy and painting, and he is not worried about not being able to answer.
In the midst of the chat, someone came again: "Forgive your sins, forgive your sins, let everyone wait for a long time." ”
Wang Guan took advantage of the situation and saw that the person who came was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, but his smiling face could not hide his shrewd and capable color, and he was obviously a veteran in the business field.
"Shopkeeper Tan." The old man smiled and beckoned, "Come and have a cup of tea." ”
"Thank you, Elder Criminal."
After nodding his head, Shopkeeper Tan sat down on the vacant seat next to him, then put the things in his hand on the table, and then gently pushed them to the middle of the table, and said with a smile: "The things have been brought over, please taste them slowly." ”
The thing was a scroll, framed with yellowish paper, if it wasn't intentionally old, then it should have been some years old. Just when Wang Guan looked carefully, Tian Lao simply smiled and said, "What are you doing in a daze, do you want to let us old people do it?" ”
"It's rude."
Wang Guan reacted immediately, smiled embarrassedly, then got up and picked up the scroll, untied the tie with his hand, and then carefully spread the scroll gently.
The scroll was spread out in a small half, and found that it was a vertical scroll painting, Wang Guan adjusted the direction by taking advantage of the situation, and then hung the picture on the bead curtain next to it with interest, so that everyone could see it.
At this time, Wang Guan looked at it and saw that the painting was a literati sitting on a large stone, holding a stone-like thing in his hand, and was watching it intently. In addition, in the upper left corner of the picture, there are a few words of Dongpo Deyan. The next lower left corner is the payment.
"San'in Renyi!"
Took a look. Wang Guan suddenly blurted out: "Ren Bonian has an inkstone map on the eastern slope!" ”
Ren Yi is Ren Bonian, a famous painter in the late Qing Dynasty. Because he is a native of Shanyin, Zhejiang Province, he is generally written with the four characters of Shanyin Renyi, and he is an outstanding portrait painter.
And when it comes to Ren Bonian, I have to mention Xu Beihong. Xu Beihong admired Ren Bonian all his life and thought that he was the reincarnation of Ren Bonian. Because the day Ren Bonian died was the day Xu Beihong was born.
can make a great painter like Xu Beihong worship, and you can also know Ren Bonian's status in the late Qing Dynasty painting circle.
Even now, of course. Ren Bonian's works are also worth a lot. What's more, it is the figure painting he is good at, and it is related to Su Dongpo. Linked to the Suzi Cultural Festival, the value of this painting may increase by one or two percent.
However, there is also a premise, the painting must be authentic to be valuable. If it's an imitation or a fake, that's two things.
"That's right, it's Ren Bonian's Dongpo inkstone." Shopkeeper Tan smiled and said: "You are also seniors and experts in the calligraphy and painting world, and you should be able to see that this painting is a treasure." If it weren't for the Suzi Cultural Festival, I wouldn't be willing to do it......"
This is a trap for the old man and others, you must know the modern calligraphers and painters. It is not necessarily an expert in calligraphy and painting. If you don't have this self-knowledge, then it's not uncommon to get an eye, and it's still a common thing. If it was just a few old criminals, maybe the shopkeeper Tan would have succeeded. But it's a pity. At least two connoisseurs were present.
Tian Lao looked at it for a while, and then signaled: "Wang Guan, you can take a look." ”
"Okay."
The king nodded and untied the painting from the beaded curtain. Then put it on the table and take a closer look.
Speaking of Dongpo's inkstone, it can be regarded as a relatively wide subject. It is said that one day, Su Dongpo's father, Su Xun, was going to plant something in his backyard. Simply ask your two sons to help with the work.
At that time, Su Dongpo was not very old, and he worked very hard. When he was digging happily, he dug out a square stone covered with dirt. Su Dongpo picked up the stone and looked at it, and found that the stone was light green, a bit like the back of a herring, with a delicate and soft texture, mixed with tiny silver stars.
Feeling that the stone was not ordinary, Su Dongpo immediately handed it over to his father Su Xun to watch, and Su Xun also felt that the thing was good, so he simply made a stone inkstone for Su Dongpo to use. Su Dongpo cherished this stone inkstone very much and named it Tianyan......
This is the allusion of Dongpo inkstone, which is the subject of common painting by calligraphers and painters in the past dynasties.
Of course, the subject matter is only the subject matter, and since each painter has a different style, the pictures drawn will naturally be different. And these styles are an important basis for identifying authenticity.
Wang Guan looked at it attentively, and after repeated research, he suddenly smiled and said: "Tian Lao, I am still young and shallow, I am afraid that I will not be able to see it well." ”
There is nothing wrong with this, the so-called no hair on the mouth, no work. For young people, some elders always think that they are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the pillars of the future. However, it is important to note that the word "future" is the key.
What does the future mean? Everyone probably understands that at least the word "future" can be omitted until young people are no longer young. Otherwise, let's go for the sun at eight or nine o'clock.
At least Shopkeeper Tan thinks so, so he doesn't suspect that Wang Guan has something to say, but he just thinks that he is more knowledgeable and interesting, and he doesn't waste everyone's time by pretending to understand.
However, Xing Lao and the others didn't think so, after all, the situation just now when Wang Guan and Tian Lao talked eloquently and easily left a deep impression on everyone. You must know that ambition is not old, so they don't treat Wang Guan as an ignorant junior. Now that I heard that Wang didn't watch it well, people who knew some antique jargon understood a little bit in their hearts.
"Really?"
At the same time, Tian Lao stood up and went out to verify it in person. After all, the old man invited him over, not only because he valued his good calligraphy, but more importantly, because of his appreciation.
It is difficult to be warm, since he was invited, Tian Lao naturally has to do his best. In addition, as a professional connoisseur, he understands the principle of prudence, and it is impossible not to stop looking at paintings because he trusts Wang Guan.
For true connoisseurs, trust is not a reason, and the opinions of others are only references. Whether something is real or not, you still need to identify it yourself.
However, after Tian Lao looked at it for a while, he came to the same conclusion as Wang Guan. However, he didn't point it out, but asked politely: "Shopkeeper Tan, is there nothing else besides this painting?" ”
"Huh?" Shopkeeper Tan was stunned for a moment, Wang Guan said that it was not good, he must have thought that Wang Guan really couldn't understand it, but Tian Lao hinted like this, but it made him hesitate.
In an instant, what should have been understood was also understood. If you are in the industry, you just have a good idea in your heart, and you generally don't say anything. But most of the people present were laymen, so naturally some people couldn't help but ask: "Tian Lao, is there anything wrong with this painting?" ”
"It's not wrong...... Tian Lao smiled and beckoned: "Wang Guan, you come on." ”
Yes, this is not good at being young, it is easy to be used as a gun and used as a pot.
Wang Guan smiled helplessly, and explained more tactfully: "Ren Bonian's pen and ink are rich and changeable, virtual and real are born together, and the shade naturally has a law. Whether it is people, portraits, landscapes, or flowers, they are all poetic and picturesque, with a fresh and smooth unique style. ”
"His main achievements lie in figure painting and flower and bird painting, often with a few brushstrokes, he can express the whole demeanor of the figure, with little ink and profound artistic conception. In other words, the lines drawn by Ren Bonian's characters are very concise and calm, powerful and chic. ”
Wang Guan nodded, then pointed to the picture on the table and said, "But these characteristics cannot be seen in this painting. Of course, I am young and inexperienced, so I may or may not be wrong. If you say something wrong, please don't laugh and give me a lot of advice. ”
Wang Guan's words were tactful enough, but it made Tan's shopkeeper's face sink slightly. Although Wang Guan didn't mention half a fake word, everyone was not stupid, so they could naturally hear the sound outside the strings. It may not be that he believes Wang Guan's judgment, but when he saw Tian Lao nodding while drinking tea, he knew that he also thought so, so where would everyone have any opinions.
For a while, the atmosphere was also a little delicate. Wang Guan's eyes moved, and he suddenly smiled: "Tian Lao, why are you suddenly interested in Ren Bonian's calligraphy and painting?" ”
He was knowingly asking, and Tian Lao was also happy to change the topic: "I am not interested in Ren Bonian's calligraphy and painting, but I am collecting some things related to Su Dongpo, and I will exhibit them at the Suzi Cultural Festival when the time comes." ”
"I see." Wang Guanxu nodded matter-of-factly, and then smiled: "Actually, I think that even if this painting is related to Su Dongpo, it has always been separated by a layer, if you can find the stone inkstone in the painting, it is the real treasure." ”
"Su Dongpo Tiancheng Yan!" Tian Lao sighed: "Who doesn't want to get it, but after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the whereabouts of this inkstone are unknown, and I don't know whose hands it will fall into." ”
"Hmm."
Wang nodded and said: "After getting this piece of heavenly inkstone, Su Dongpo carried it with him and cherished it very much. However, it was lost during the demotion of Huangzhou. Later, after several twists and turns, it finally fell into the hands of Yan Song, a minister of Jiajing. At that time, Yan Song's house was raided, and there was a record of this treasure inkstone in Tianshui Bingshan Lu. It's a pity that after the things were returned to the palace treasury, there was no more news. ”
"I have ...... this inkstone"
At this moment, the shopkeeper Tan suddenly spoke: "There is a stone inkstone in my store, which is very similar to the legendary Su Dongpo Tianyan, but I can't figure out whether it is true or false." If you're interested, I'll show you a few of you. ”
When everyone heard this, they first had three points of suspicion, thinking that this might not be too coincidental. However, Tian Lao was not so arbitrary, but said with interest: "Of course this is the best, then it will trouble the shopkeeper Tan." ”
"It's okay, everyone wait a while, I'll be back right away."
While speaking, the inkstone of Dongpo, which was not left by the shopkeeper Tan, rolled up, and then walked away briskly. Even if the pictures are fakes, they can't be fooled by Wang Guan and others, but as long as they continue to open their doors for business, the pictures can be sold sooner or later, and of course they can't be discarded casually.
Of course, that is a matter for the future, and now the shopkeeper Tan is eager to make a business, so as not to leave a bad impression on the old man and others, then he will lose a lot of potential benefits.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Tan, who had already walked to the first floor, gritted his teeth and immediately turned around and walked back...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
