Donald's eyes flashed appreciatively, of course he knew that this painting was a fake, a fake with a high level of imitation, and players who were new to the industry would often be eye-catching, but now they took it out to test Chen Dong, and tested Chen Dong's appreciation level.

"Go on."

Hearing this, Chen Dong continued, "This painting is a fake, first of all, the insect painting is too rigid, Qi Baishi painted the worm, the painting is very workmanlike, very smart, such as the whiskers of this grasshopper, very ethereal, thickness and rhythm, and the grasshopper in this painting has not changed.

There is also this seal, Qi Baishi never used this kind of ink, Qi Baishi used ink, in the early days he made it himself, and later used Rong Bao Zhai to give him a special supply, from the two aspects of painting and ink, it was concluded that this painting is a fake. ”

After listening to Chen Dong's appreciation, Tang Lao smiled and praised, "Very good, the foundation of appraisal knowledge is very solid, if you are willing, you have time to come to me as a guest, and we will exchange antique knowledge with each other." ”

Mutual exchange of antique knowledge is obviously a pretext, one has long been the antique industry Taishan Beidou-level figures, the other is a rookie who has just entered the antique circle, what is there to communicate, the exchange between the two sides, Chen Dong did not help Tang Lao at all, on the contrary, with Donald's guidance, Chen Dong took a lot of detours on the road of antiques, and went further.

"Yes." Chen Dong said happily.

As a newcomer to the antique circle, Chen Dong knows that the antique circle is too deep, pay attention to the lineage, word of mouth, a good master to guide, too important, in the antique circle can take a lot of detours, go further, you must know that the experience taught by the master is the experience of the predecessors with countless times to pay the tuition lessons summed up, is not learned from books.

Donald got up from the rocking chair, bent down and walked into the room, took out a thread-bound book from a shelf, handed it to Chen Dong and said, "This book is dedicated to introducing the basic knowledge of antique calligraphy and painting, and you will take it back later, and you will have time to read more." ”

Chen Dong took the book from Old Man Tang's hand, nodded and said, "I will." ”

As soon as the words fell, the watch on his wrist shook slightly, and then a dialog box popped up in front of Chen Dong's eyes that only Chen Dong could see.

System prompt: Accept the task, Donald's test: You get Donald's appreciation, Donald is willing to point out your experience and knowledge of calligraphy and painting appreciation, and then gives you a book on antique calligraphy and painting appreciation, and proposes to test you the next time you are a guest.

Requirements: Pass the test of Donald the next time you visit Tang's hometown.

Reward: 2 points, 30 experience.

Chen Dong looked at the book in his hand, the cover was a little yellow, and the corners of the book were a little curly, and at a glance he knew that it was some years.

The light brain system is a little more generous, a side quest rewards 2 points, and 30 experience points can be said to be very rich.

Next, Donald gave Chen Dong a special introduction to things in the antique circle, which Chen Dong couldn't get in touch with before.

One spoke vividly, the other listened fascinated, time passed quickly, and unconsciously two hours passed, seeing that Tang Lao was a little tired, Chen Dong found a reason to end the conversation, said goodbye to Old Man Tang, and left the Tang family compound alone.

Seeing that it was almost noon, I found a casual restaurant for lunch, then took a taxi, returned to the villa, lay on the rocking chair in the courtyard, poured a cup, and opened the book that Donald gave him.

The book is called "Fundamentals of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Appraisal", an introductory textbook for beginners in calligraphy and painting appraisal, which can be found in bookstores or on the Internet.

In many places on the page, Tang Lao crossed a red line and annotated it, recording Tang Lao's experience in appreciating calligraphy and painting, which is too important for a beginner in painting and calligraphy appraisal.

As soon as I opened the pages of the book, I glanced at it a few times, and I deserved to be the authority of domestic calligraphy and painting appraisal, and with the help of the book "Fundamentals of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal", I wrote down my own experience in the appreciation of calligraphy and painting......

For example, when it comes to Qi Baishi's calligraphy and paintings, Tang Lao added annotations here, using his experience to tell how to identify the authenticity of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and paintings from various aspects, such as Qi Baishi's painting style in different eras, ink ink, paper and other aspects.

Time unconsciously passed two days, Chen Dong in addition to logging in to the starting point network as usual every day to upload five chapters and chapters, replying to readers' comments, the rest of the time is spent on reading, after two days of selfless study, combined with the experience accumulated in the previous visit to Yunzhou antique street, Chen Dong has greatly improved in the appreciation of calligraphy and painting.

Chen Dong put down the book, smiled slightly, looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Xiaolan, open the light brain, open the skill bar." ”

"Yes, master."

As soon as the words fell, the watch on the wrist turned into a Lenovo notebook, and then the skill system column popped up, and a small icon appeared below the skill list.

Antique appreciation: calligraphy and painting, elementary. There is also a green progress bar in the back, 11.2/100, this is a small icon that suddenly appeared when Chen Dong inadvertently clicked on the skill once, and I remember that there was no such icon when I first got the light brain.

Chen Dong also found that as he continued to read books and acquire knowledge of antique calligraphy and painting appreciation, the progress bar also kept jumping, from 8.5/100 at the beginning to 11.2/100 now.

Chen Dong guessed that the skill should be displayed in the skill bar, first of all, after activating and displaying in the skill list bar, through continuous learning, the experience of the progress bar will continue to increase, until the experience is full, and the skill is improved.

There is also a prismatic button under the antique appreciation calligraphy and painting skills.

Chen Dong smiled slightly and clicked the prismatic button.

A dialog box pops up on the screen.

This video provides primary training in antique appreciation skills, and charges 0.5 points for 1 hour, whether it is OK to enter the video teaching.

This is the first time Chen Dong has used the system training function, and he has some expectations in his heart.
