Chapter 343: Spring Silkworm Spinner

Wu Chen looked at Liu Lao, who sighed for a long time, cautiously followed his topic, and scolded the foreign devil a few times, and persuaded him when he turned around, this is not something that one or two people can control, don't make your body angry.

Hum! Stinky boy, forget the classics! I'm afraid that after two generations, we won't remember that those objects were left to us by our ancestors! As the successor of the Guigu Society, you must have this obligation, not to mention contributing to the country, even to give the ancestors a long breath!

Liu Lao didn't come over in one breath, and taught Wu Chen a vicious lesson. Look at the rest! If you don't say anything else, just you, can you also call it "The Female History of Zhentu"? If you want to be without a phase, you want to have a soul without a soul!

Wu Chen was so depressed in his heart, he said that I didn't lose these things, and now I can't take a kitchen knife to the British Museum or the Louvre, so I can't snatch it back, right? But he didn't dare to talk back, he had forgotten his sect, and if he talked back, he was afraid that he would deceive the teacher and destroy his ancestors!

Liu Lao vented his anger, and when he saw Wu Chen nodding vigorously, he looked aggrieved, his heart softened, and he said, it's not your fault, as long as you don't forget this stubble.

Wu Chen was naturally submissive, renewing a cup of tea for Liu Lao, and comforting the boss for a while. Although we are organized people? With rights comes obligations, he agrees with this very much, although the title of Guigu Guigu will be the successor, it has not brought him any benefits for the time being, but since he has recognized this inheritance, he should take on this responsibility.

"Take it away, you will be angry when you see it!" Liu Lao waved his hand and didn't even look at it again.

"Don't, Master. Aren't you angry with yourself? Hehe, as you said, it's a big no-no. ”

"Stinky boy, use you to teach me a lesson!"

Liu Lao scolded with a smile, but he saw that Wu Chen was so persistent, there must be a reason. This apprentice of his own knows that if he hadn't found any flaws, he wouldn't have been like this. However, the painting is clear at a glance and there is nothing worth noting.

Is it a picture-in-picture? Liu Lao glanced at Wu Chen suspiciously, bent down, and carefully looked at the painting. When he had a doubt, he picked on the flaws in the painting, and soon he found something abnormal, and carefully touched the edge of the painting with both hands.

Or they all say that ginger is old and spicy, this master is master, and it will be thorough at one point! Wu Chen watched Liu Lao go to the right path for a while, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Why are you staying? Guys are waiting! Liu Lao fumbled for a while, his eyes gradually lit up, he straightened up and looked at Wu Chen standing stupidly on the side, and shouted.

Wu Chen knew that Master Lu Dao had discovered the secret, and this was to reveal the painting, so he ran out of Lu with a smile and took a lot of bottles and cans in. Ordinary unmounting is actually quite simple, that is, use wet rice paper to cover the picture, and after it is evenly softened, carefully untie it layer by layer with tweezers, the principle is that there are several layers of rice paper generally used for painting.

However, it is easy to destroy the original picture in this way, after all, these ancient paintings have been eroded over countless years, and the surface layer is more or less weathered, and the ink is easy to be rendered. As a result, great framing masters often have their own unique potions that are guaranteed to minimize this damage. Guigu will have its own secret recipe since ancient times, and after the continuous improvement of the ancestors of the past generations, it can completely lock the structure of the ink factor in the paper, and will not destroy the original work at all.

Uncovering a painting is like a surgeon doing an operation, which is both a mental work and an individual work, Wu Chen was afraid that Liu Lao would not be in good spirits, so he asked bravely, do you want me to come?

I haven't had to play like this for many years, and it's rare to have a chance, where will Liu Lao give it to Wu Chen, waved his hand, and replied unceremoniously: Go and play!

Wu Chen glanced at him, don't take you to play like this, what about passing on the help? However, he also knew that his craftsmanship was not perfect, and many things only stayed at the level of "knowledge" and had not been practiced. didn't rush to do it with this old man, honestly helped on the side, and looked at the scale completely.

After a long time, Wu Chen was afraid that the nurses outside would be in a hurry, so he took the time to run out of the house to talk to them, and brought some pastries and refreshments to use first.

When he got inside, he found that Liu Lao was sitting on the chair with a radiant face, looking at him like a torch. On the table were two pieces of pictures, as well as a mess of tools and bottles. Looking at this situation, it should be that the "operation" has been completed, and the painting hidden inside should be seen again, but shouldn't Liu Lao be looking at the painting to appreciate it or be proud? It shouldn't be like this.

"Master, what's wrong?" Wu Chen was taken aback, could it be that he had a stroke under joy?

Can't even speak?! That's a godsend! Wu Chen took a few steps forward, put down the tray in his hand, shouted Master in his mouth, squatted down, grabbed Liu Lao's hand, only to feel that his hand was a little wrinkled, it was all the skin of an old man, and his heart was sour, and tears filled the frame.

"Go, go, go! What do you think! Lao Liu looked at Wu Chen's nervous appearance, and his heart was also moved, this kid has a great conscience. Moved to be moved, he shook off Wu Chen's hand and scolded with a smile, "Your master and I are fine!" ”

"Then why are you scaring me?" Wu Chen stood up dissatisfied, not so scary.

"Did you scare me first!" Liu Laohu replied with a blushing face, immediately blinked his eyes, squinted his eyes at the table, and made a grimace.

"What's so scaring you?"

Wu Chen stood up and looked at the two paintings on the table, the picture was almost the same, one was rough and messy, and the other was thin and flowing, such as "spring silkworm spinning silk", with both form and spirit, rich in rhythmic beauty, elegant and beautiful colors, and the difference was like heaven and earth.

"Hehe, stinky boy, you already know the truth, right? Take it to the test of my old man? Seeing that Wu Chen was as calm as ever, Liu Lao became more and more firm in his thoughts just now.

"How can it, I just think it's a little thick, of course, it may be a problem with the mounting, isn't it uncertain, that's why you always take a look." Wu Chen said with a little weakness, and immediately changed the topic, "Is this picture really "The Female Historian"?" I've never seen such a paragraph. ”

"The picture scroll of "The Female History of Zhentu" is divided into twelve paragraphs, and only nine paragraphs remain, which should be the "Fan Ji Ganzhuang" in the scattered three paragraphs, which is ranked in the second paragraph in the original picture scroll!" Liu Lao said with certainty, "Of course, I'm talking about the Tang Dynasty silk book." ”

For the "Female History Atlas", he has studied countless times, this picture is too familiar, both from the character modeling and the atmosphere portrayal are very consistent with the nine sections of the display, the outline of the lines in the picture, smooth and elastic, each line seems to be full of life. The color blending of the picture is also just right, from the separation of dyeing to the cover dyeing, over and over again, layer by layer, delicate and heavy, fully expressing the texture of clothing and other materials. This kind of skill fully embodies Gu Kaizhi's "gossamer painting method" and "expressive portrayal" painting theory, not to mention modern imitations, even the Song version is far behind.

Well, Wu Chen listened to Liu Lao's words, lowered his head and examined it carefully, it is a rare opportunity to see this kind of authentic work with his own eyes, how can he miss it? What exactly is a "gossamer"? Wu Chen also knows a little, but at this moment, under the comparison of the real thing, he has more feelings.

I only feel that its brushwork is like spring silkworm spinning, it is very easy to see at first, and it is both six methods when you look closely; The color is slightly embellished with strong color, not blurred, subtle, unpredictable, and ethereal. The entire composition of the characters is outlined with thin lines, and only the hair, skirt or streamers are dyed with strong colors, slightly embellished, and do not seek to smudge.

Beautiful, so beautiful!

In a short period of painting, Fan Ji's demeanor is like that, dignified and demure, graceful and solemn, the layout is leisurely and elegant, and the lines are circular and tactful, even and graceful. The dress with a wide hem is slender and graceful, with streamers of different shapes and bright colors, fluttering and graceful.

That's the mood! Wu Chen saw it, and he felt a little unable to get out.

Liu Lao looked at him with a smile on the side, and did not interrupt without saying anything, learning calligraphy and painting requires a "stupid" spirit. This is a very rare learning opportunity, this painting is also the earliest outstanding work of "conveying the spirit through form" painting art, and it is also the earliest surviving Chinese silk painting today, in addition to having unique artistic value, it also has historical value and social value that is difficult to be compared with other painting disciplines.

This facsimile in the British Museum, which was originally in the collection of the Qing Palace, was the desk favorite of the Qianlong Emperor, and was hidden in the Old Summer Palace. After the Anglo-French invasion of Beijing, British Captain Ji Yong stole it from the Old Summer Palace and took it abroad. Later, it was collected by the British Museum and became the most important oriental artifact in the museum, and the Western art world also regarded it as a masterpiece of ancient Chinese painting, praising it as a "perfect masterpiece" where "everything has reached a state of maturity". As the "treasure of the museum", it is stored in the Stein secret room in the museum.

Back then, he also met by fate, and saw this treasure in the secret room, and it was also like Wu Chen at this moment, he was deeply attracted to it, integrated into it, and knew almost nothing about the outside world.

"It's so beautiful, Master!"

After a long time, Wu Chen straightened up, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to imprint the painting deeply in his mind.

"Spring silkworms spin silk, flowing water travels the ground, and the gods are written in shape, all out of nature. In the history of ancient Chinese painting, there is only "The Female History of Zhentu". Liu Lao also sighed lowly, "It's a pity, there is only one paragraph here, if only the nine original paragraphs could be returned to Zhao!" ”

Somehow, Wu Chen also had a heartache in his heart, at this moment, he actually had some heart-to-heart with Liu Lao, and there was an inexplicable impulse in his heart, and the idea of asking those robbers to get back the treasures left by these ancestors suddenly became stronger! Of course, he will not give up everything else and devote himself to a movement to "return cultural relics", but when the time comes, the idea of recovering lost cultural relics even at the expense of some personal interests has begun to germinate.

Under the domination of this lofty ideal, Wu Chen coaxed and told Liu Lao that this painting would be entrusted to the master to donate to the relevant departments, even if it was used as a brick, hoping that jade could be attracted later!
