In the collection of antiques, calligraphy and painting are very important. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Qin Fan knows that many masters' paintings and calligraphy have been auctioned at auction for incredible prices.
Although Qin Fan has little research on calligraphy and painting, this "Cold Food Post" is too famous in the calligraphy world, and is known as one of the three major books in the world.
In his previous life, when Qin Fan traveled to TB, he once visited the TB Palace Museum to see the authentic work of this "Cold Food Post", and he was very impressed.
The authentic handiwork of the TB Palace Museum is 34.2 centimeters wide and 18.9 centimeters long, with 17 lines and a total of 129 characters. It is one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, Su Dongpo, because of the Wutai poetry case, was demoted to Huangzhou, and the two five-character poems were written on the cold food festival in the third year.
Connoisseurs of all dynasties have highly respected the "Cold Food Post", and even the Qianlong Emperor personally inscribed it behind the post, "Dongpo Scholar Tang Xiuyi, for Yan and Yang Hou." This volume is written by the Huangzhou day, and there is a valley after it, and it is dumped to, and the so-called is not intended to be in Jia Naijia......"
Although the name of "Cold Food Post" is big, there are not many copies that have been handed down in history, so this copy on Qin Fan's hand is relatively rare and rare.
Due to the dim light in the warehouse, it was not easy to see the calligraphy on the copybook, so Qin Fan put away the copybook first, and took out an old account book covered with dust from the box.
According to the rules of the pawnshop, every piece of pawn must be registered, and this "Cold Food Post" naturally has also been recorded. It's just that because the age is too long, Qin Fan took a lot of effort to find the record of "Cold Food Post" from the account book. I hope to find some clues from it to determine the age and copyist of this "Cold Food Post".
Qin Fan locked the warehouse and brought the account book and this calligraphy back to the study, found a few books on calligraphy and painting knowledge from the bookcase, and studied them carefully.
After checking the records of this "Cold Food Post", Qin Fan knew that there was a twisted story in this copy.
This pair of calligraphy was received by Mr. Tian ten years ago from a rich man who fell into the middle of the road. This rich son originally had a wealthy family, and his father went to the sea to do business very early, and worked hard for several years to earn thousands of family fortunes, and belonged to a group of people who became rich first.
After the rich father became rich, he became obsessed with collecting, and especially liked to collect calligraphy, calligraphy and painting. His friends and business partners knew about his hobby, so they brought calligraphy and paintings to his house every once in a while.
Although he likes to collect paintings and calligraphy, because he is a halfway monk and does not have a deep cultural knowledge, he really has no appreciation ability. In the past few years, I was cheated out of a large amount of money by my friends and business partners around me with worthless fake paintings and calligraphy, and I ended up collecting a bunch of rags and coming back.
However, this pair of calligraphy was not bought by him from those fox friends and dogs, but from an old Taoist priest in a dilapidated Taoist temple during a business trip.
After getting this "Cold Food Post", the rich son's father couldn't put it down and kept it as a baby.
But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for his business to be in trouble, and the capital chain was broken, and he needed a lot of money to turnover. He had no choice but to sell the calligraphy and paintings he had collected over the years to solve his urgent needs.
However, to his shock, the dozens of calligraphy and paintings he had spent a lot of money on were all fakes, and none of them were real.
It was only at this time that he realized that he was blinded by the group of fox friends around him, and he angrily burned all these calligraphy and paintings.
Later, the father's business failed, so he could only sell all the family property to pay off the debt, but he kept this pair of calligraphy and was reluctant to sell it.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, how can that rich man endure poverty after enjoying a rich life for so many years. So, he stole the precious calligraphy behind his father's back and took it to Old Man Tian's pawnshop.
Not long after, his father realized that this unfilial son had secretly taken the notebook, beat him up angrily, and dragged him to redeem him.
But because this calligraphy is dead, of course Old Man Tian refuses to return the things. This incident made a lot of trouble later, and it almost went to court, so Mr. Tian recorded it in such detail.
However, Mr. Tian also did not study calligraphy, and in the end, he did not understand the value of this calligraphy, so he hid it in the store. As a result, this collection is ten years, and even the old man Tian himself forgot the existence of this copybook, and it was not until today that Qin Fan turned it out that this copybook was able to see the light of day.
"Hey, son, why do you also like calligraphy, this calligraphy looks a little old."
Qin Xuedong saw Qin Fan studying a pair of calligraphy calligraphy in the study, and walked over curiously. Although Qin Xuedong does not know how to collect antiques, he likes calligraphy very much, and often copies calligraphy in his spare time. He is also a member of the Calligraphy Association and has won many awards.
"By the way, why did you forget Dad's calligraphy." Qin Fan patted his head, hurriedly beckoned Qin Xuedong to come over, and served him tea and water diligently, "Dad, you are not the master of our calligraphy association, come and help me see how the calligraphy on this calligraphy is doing." β
"Hehe, stinky boy, I know that it's not a good thing for you to serve tea and pour water."
"How can it, isn't it natural to be filial to my father."
Qin Xuedong scolded with a smile, glanced at the calligraphy on the desk, and said curiously, "Yo, this copy is still Su Dongpo's cold food post, it's not bad." Where did you get this copybook? β
"I found it from the pile of calligraphy and paintings, and I thought it was a little strange to take it out. But I don't have much research on calligraphy, so I don't see why. β
"Hey, I asked you to learn some calligraphy from me, but you didn't listen, so I'm asking for it."
Qin Xuedong was stunned for a moment, found a pair of glasses from the table and put them on, and carefully studied the calligraphy on this pair of calligraphy.
However, Qin Xuedong looked at it carefully for about 10 minutes, the expression on his face became more and more surprised, his eyes stared at the ink on the notebook without blinking, and his fingers trembled unconsciously.
Qin Fan was a little anxious to wait, and he didn't dare to disturb his father, so he could only stand aside and rub his hands and wait patiently.
After a long time, Qin Xuedong pulled out of the notebook and let out a long sigh, his face full of excitement and excitement.
"Dad, how is this copybook?" Qin Fan hurriedly brought the tea and couldn't help but ask.
Qin Xuedong glanced at his son, and seemed a little surprised that Qin Fan's luck was so good, and he always met treasures.
"Dad doesn't understand the value of antiques, but judging from the calligraphy attainments of this calligraphy, it is definitely from the hands of a famous artist." Qin Xuedong took a sip of tea and said excitedly, "You come to see that the calligraphy pen on this calligraphy is full of ink, full of energy, unbridled ups and downs, flying and scattering, and it has won the charm of Su Shi's calligraphy, which can be said to have both form and spirit." β
With Qin Xuedong's words, Qin Fan can be sure that this "Cold Food Post" is definitely a masterpiece.
"Then you see, who is the author of this "Cold Food Post"?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuedong knocked on Qin Fan's head and scolded with a smile, "Stinky boy, your father and I are not immortals, how can you tell at a glance who copied this cold food post." β
At this time, Qin Fan suddenly saw a shallow stamp at the end of the poem.
Due to the age and poor preservation, this seal is no longer very clear, Qin Fan studied it carefully for a long time before he could understand the words on this seal.
There are only two words on the stamp: "εΎ΅ζ".
Suddenly, Qin Fan's head buzzed as if something had exploded, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face, "This cold food post is the real handiwork copied by Wen Zhengming!" β
