"Bai Lao, what is this book?" Tang Yi took a deep breath, "It seems that it is really a private seal used by Wang Xizhi?" ”

Bai Lao stretched out his hand and motioned for Tang Yi to sit down, and then said slowly, "During the Shunzhi period, there was a Qin family, who lived in Zhuzhu Lane in Gusu, and the father, son and brothers were good at making fake paintings. ”

Speaking of this book, Bai Lao paused and looked at Tang Yi.

Seeing this, Tang Yi said, "Calligraphy and painting are fake, made by the back door of Yanjing, made by Su in Gusu, and Shaopian in Zhejiang Province are all famous. Among them, the quality of Su-made calligraphy and painting is high enough to be proud of the rivers and lakes in the counterfeiting world. What you are talking about is the famous 'Qin family' in the Qing Dynasty Su painting and calligraphy, this family, each has its own strengths, division of labor and cooperation, so the level is very high. ”

"Counterfeiting?" Bai Lao couldn't help but laugh, "This title is a bit interesting. ”

"It can't be called the 'Animation World', right?" Tang Yi also smiled.

"In fact, fake calligraphy and painting have existed since ancient times, but some people just treat it as a game. For example, Cheng Xiuji in the Tang Dynasty imitated Wang Xizhi, and Mi Fu in the Song Dynasty imitated Chu Suiliang, which was all fun, and was not used to cheat money at all. But later, as soon as the atmosphere opened, everything changed. Bai said this, and suddenly waved his hand, "It's far away, let's talk about Wang Xizhi's private seal first." ”

"I don't know the name of the first generation of the Qin family, but in the early years, I heard people in the industry say that people gave the nickname Qin Yidao. He was engaged in stone carving and seal carving from the beginning, and he liked to imitate the carving of celebrity seals. His son is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and is also good at imitation, but he has never become famous. I don't know how the two of them came together later, but in short, they stepped into this world of counterfeiting. ”

"This "Illustration Examination" was accidentally obtained by me in my early years, the paper and ink are all from the Qing Dynasty, it should be Qin Yidao's handwriting, you can also see the words he wrote, obviously with a knife."

"At that time, I was not too surprised when I saw Wang Xizhi's seal, and it is also possible that Qin Yidao collected the seal pattern of Wang Xizhi's private seal." Bai Lao shook his head, "I didn't expect to see the original, and I never imagined that it was actually the material of the sealed door blue!" Originally, I thought it was copper or jade. ”

Tang Yi also felt a little emotion in his heart, in the official history and wild history he had read, there was never a record of Wang Xizhi's private seal. Wang Xizhi is so famous, his life experience and calligraphy are extremely interesting, and even many idioms are also because of him, like what into the wood three points, the east bed fast son-in-law; But I haven't seen any record of his private seals.

As a result, I actually found evidence in the picture book of a professional in the counterfeiting industry. God knows how he saw the pattern back then, or if the seal was in his hand back then, and it wasn't necessary for him to be reluctant to stamp it with ink.

But no matter what, he must have researched and determined that this was Wang Xizhi's private seal, otherwise it would not have been included in the picture book.

Combined with the shape, inscription, and pulp of the seal, combined with Wang Xizhi's life trajectory, and combined with the research of professionals like Qin Yidao, it should have been determined that this sealed door blue is indeed Wang Xizhi's private seal!

As for what Tang Yi suspected, it was possible that it had never been in Wang Xizhi's hands, in Bai Lao's words, it was too sharp. Antique appraisal can be more realistic, but it cannot be infinitely more authentic. Since it is his private seal, the possibility that someone wants to send it to him and he doesn't know about it, and the possibility of finding someone to make it but not getting it back, are almost zero.

As for the traces of the use of the inscription is not obvious, it is not a strange thing, this seal of the door in the year, there is no record of use in history, it is absolutely rare, if he himself also likes it very much, it is mostly used for play, very little practical, it is not impossible.

"Xiao Tang, in what you just said, your collection is enough to laugh at the rivers and lakes in the private collection world!" Bai Lao stood up and patted Tang Yi on the shoulder, "Thank you too, I, a person who has entered half of the loess, can still see such a thing." ”

"Bai Lao is serious, such a treasure for you to appreciate, it is complementary to each other!" Tang Yi hurriedly said.

"I'll leave you a phone number, and you can call me directly if you have anything in the future!" Bai Lao said, and wrote a phone number on a note.

"Thank you, Bai Lao!" Tang Yi took it and put it away, "Actually, I have a small shop and a lot of treasures." The reason why Professor Pan's store was bought was that he planned to open a branch. But don't worry, Bai Lao, I will never sell fakes. ”

"Hmm." Bai Lao nodded, "That blue and white square vase, even if you see it, you can buy and sell it quietly." In addition, you said that you also reminded Professor Pan at that time that this door-green seal may be from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. All of this shows that you will not know and sell fakes for the sake of profit. ”

"Be virtuous and restless, and be hypocritical. I'm also looking for peace of mind. Tang Yi responded.

A heavy look of surprise flashed in Bai Lao's eyes, "Since you said these two sentences, you must be truly convinced?" ”

These two sentences are from the "Book of Shang", to the effect that if you act with virtue and have peace of mind, you will be more and more beautiful; And cheating, mental exhaustion, will get worse and worse.

When Bai Lao was young, he was in the antique shop in Yanjing, and he was naturally used to counterfeiting and cheating. But this sentence was taken as a motto by him! At the same time, this sentence was also told to him by Shen Songyan's father, Shen Chongyuan, after taking him to expose a high imitation.

"I'm not afraid of old jokes, I haven't been in the industry for long. I used to just read "Shangshu" and knew these two sentences, but since I entered the industry, these two sentences have often sounded in my ears, and now, it really has a bit of a motto! Tang Yi truthfully said what he was thinking.

Tang Yi said it quickly, and seeing that Bai Lao just nodded frequently, and did not interject, he continued, "Speaking of this, I also think of a story between Wen Zhengming and Zhu Lang, which can be regarded as a typical contrast between virtue and hypocrisy. ”

This story can be regarded as a well-known joke. In the face of Bai Lao, naturally there is no need to expand.

Wen Zhengming, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty, has an apprentice named Zhu Lang, and Zhu Lang's level is not weak, and he even wrote for Wen Zhengming Dynasty. As a result, he later began to imitate Wen Zhengming to paint landscapes and take them out as genuine products for profit.

A merchant came to Gusu and asked the boy to go to Zhu Lang's house at night to buy a copy of Wen Zhengming. As a result, because Wen Zhengming and Zhu Lang lived very close to each other, and it was night, the child mistakenly entered Wen Zhengming's house, but mistakenly thought that he was at Zhu Lang's house. When he saw Wen Zhengming, he thought it was Zhu Lang, and the boy took out the money and said that he wanted to ask for an imitation of Wen Zhengming.

What did Wen Zhengming do? I received the money, gave the painting, and said to the child with a smile: I painted the real Hengshan, and I talked about being a fake Zilang, but what? (Wen Zhengming's name is Hengshan, and Zhu Lang's character is Lang.) ）
