Chapter 33: What is the purpose of a man's life?
Dong Tianyue said that this painting was an imitation of the Ming Dynasty, but Qilinbi was not much surprised, so he did not refute fiercely, but just asked in a verifying tone. Qilin Tianya's face changed slightly when he heard it, this is not scientific! I remember that a year ago, he helped a client complete a task, and the reward was this "Jiangcun Fishing Map". The man said that this was the real work of Juran, and he spent more than 2 million to buy it. Qilin Tianya believes that if he borrows a hundred guts from that person, that person will not dare to deceive him!
Qilin Tianya frowned, walked to the painting, buried his head in looking at it, still firmly believed that this painting was genuine, looked up at Dong Tianyue, and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, you won't judge it just by the seal of Ming Jiajing and Zheng Guanzhi on it, right?" ”
Obviously, the two fathers and sons of the Qilin family are both assertive people, not that the so-called experts believe everything they say, let alone that you can bluff them by memorizing some ancient texts. They want real convincing!
Dong Tianyue smiled but did not speak. Gui Yumeng on the side was about to die, more anxious than he was to go to any appraisal of calligraphy and painting, and the father and son of the Qilin family were not so easy to convince.
"If you want to talk about evidence, I can't come up with it right now. My tasting conclusions are also purely personal opinions, so you can listen to them at will. If you think I'm not talking nonsense, I'll talk about it in detail. Dong Tianyue looked at everyone after speaking, and everyone didn't seem to object. Dong Tianyue said in his heart that he might not be able to evaluate the details without daring to do so, so he pointed to the paintings laid out on the table and began to appreciate them carefully.
"It is not difficult to see that in terms of conception, the author of this painting can be described as ingenious. If you look at it from a macro perspective, you will find that the composition of this painting emphasizes the profound and flexible design: the lower right of the picture is the foreground, and the section from the foreground to the middle is cut by a zigzag river valley, and the river meanders to the bottom of the concave cliff in the picture, and the river water churns, creating the effect of deep space; In the river valley, from the middle of the scenery upwards, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the mountains are vertically towering, and they are arranged in a V-shape, creating a lofty momentum.
The triangular circular slope stone in the foreground, depicting the soft texture of the soil and mountains with a coarse linen coat, continues the ancient painting method of Dong Yuan of the Five Dynasties, you can compare Dong Yuan's "Cold Forest Chongting Picture", which is now in the Kurokawa Institute of Ancient Culture.
The steep peaks in the distance are in the shape of fists, which is similar to the mountain shape of the 10th-century Liao Dynasty landscape hanging axis "Deep Mountain Chess Meeting Map" found by archaeology. It is generally believed that this may be because after Juran arrived in Beijing, he was influenced by the painting style of Jing and Guanhua Hua. ”
"Damn, why does it sound so professional?" Wu Yubin scolded in his heart, even he from a professional class needs to listen to the paintings in order to understand Dong Tianyue's appreciation. However, the more advanced and professional they say, the more they admire these people. Sure enough, everyone also gathered around the table, leaned forward, leaned closer, and looked closely, pretending to know Chinese painting very well.
"Everyone focuses on the foreground, that is, the three spiky boats with the largest volume and the most ink in the picture. two ships side-by-side; The other is a longitudinal downward line not far away. The expert in fishing is naturally the partridge, on the side of the boat, under the water, piercing the fierce son, beating the water, very lively. There is a person in the bow and stern of the boat, some old and some young, and there is a little baby in the cabin watching the fish.
This fishing picture is very expressive, drawing the joy and simplicity of rural fishermen fishing, whether it is composition or white drawing, it can be regarded as ingenuity. We can see the profound skill of the painter from this.
However, this painting is not a genuine work. ”
Speaking of this, Dong Tianyue straightened up his waist and pretended to look at everyone deeply, and everyone also straightened up and looked at him, their faces full of doubts, since this painting is so good, why do you still say that it is not Juran's real work? Isn't that a paradox? What's going on?
"Brother Dong, isn't it genuine? Do you mean to say that this painting is an imitation from the Ming Dynasty onwards? How can you be so sure? If it is a later imitation, dare to ask who imitated it? Qilin Tianya asked in disbelief. This person is really calm, and he has always been able to grasp the crux of the problem and ask Dong Tianyue, as long as Dong Tianyue's knowledge is a little not solid, he will be asked speechlessly.
Dong Tianyue didn't speak, but glanced to the left, looked at Gui Yumeng's big suspicious eyes and said, "You still can't see it?" Look at the seal. ”
Gui Yumeng glanced at the seal, and his heart jumped, could it be that this seal was added later? Her heart chuckled, and she said to Dong Tianyue: "You mean that the seal is added later?" ”
Dong Tianyue smiled and nodded, and seeing that everyone didn't refute, he analyzed: "Yes, do you see the color of this ink, does it look like that of the Xilin Printing Society?" The Xilen Printing Society was founded in the 30th year of Guangxu. So this chapter is added later. For the composition of the ink, you can do laboratory testing. The most important thing is that according to many interpretations of "Xuanhe Painting", such as Tang Bohu's interpretation version, it is mentioned that many of the works of Monk Juran are not stamped, and the stamping was only flourished after the Northern Song Dynasty. The people of later generations do not understand, and deliberately affix seals, and pretend to be wise, do they not know that they are painting snakes to add to their feet, and they want to cover them! ”
As soon as these words came out, Gui Yumeng was deeply ashamed, how could she even make such a low-level mistake? Everyone seemed to be moved by Dong Tianyue's words, it turned out that the seal was also flourishing after the Northern Song Dynasty, how did they know this?
Qilin Tianya still didn't believe it, he didn't believe that someone would dare to fool him with a fake, pointed to a seal in the painting and smiled at Dong Tianyue: "The composition of the ink will naturally be tested in the future, and the age of the paper will also be verified." Even if there is some truth in your guess, then in your opinion, whose imitation is this? ”
Dong Tianyue knew that if he didn't say who imitated it, why imitate it, the two Qilin father and son would never be convinced. He hesitated for a moment, as if there was something unspeakable. Dong Tianyue gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a major decision, and said lightly: "Well, this has to mention one person first, and that is the owner of one of the seals in the painting: Hu Xueyan." ”
Everyone was stunned, is this still related to Hu Xueyan? Could it be that this painting has a great relationship with Hu Xueyan?
"Oh, this matter is still related to Hu Xueyan?" Qilin Bi was surprised. Dong Tianyue wanted to mention Hu Xueyan, and Qilinbi suddenly became interested. Hu Xueyan is the idol of Qilinbi. Who is Hu Xueyan, a red-topped businessman, a Confucian businessman who eats all black and white!
Everyone was also curious, staring at Hu Xueyan's seal and the two lines of the inscription on the painting, could it be that this painting was really related to Hu Xueyan?
At this time, Wu Yubin knew that Dong Tianyue's profound knowledge was beyond his reach, and he said in his heart, I have learned a bookcase in my art class over the years! Gui Yumeng looked at Dong Tianyue in a daze, and said in his heart, what the chairman once said was not exaggerating, but seeking truth from facts! Jing'er was even more fascinated by listening to the story, thinking to herself, if she fell in love with Dong Tianyue in the future, she must pester him to tell him the stories of ancient painters, this is knowledge that can't be learned from books!
At this time, the eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on Dong Tianyue, and he seemed to have suddenly become a storyteller and a star in the limelight. Dong Tianyue enjoys this feeling very much, no matter how knowledgeable a person is, if he doesn't share it with everyone, it will be less happy. But he didn't rush to speak, but very impolitely took a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it elegantly. It was rude to smoke on such occasions, but no one criticized him anymore.
Taking advantage of the gap between smoking, Dong Tianyue searched for information about Hu Xueyan in his mind, and when most of the cigarette was burned, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and told everyone about the indissoluble bond between Hu Xueyan and this painting.
Dong Tianyue really has a talent for storytelling, and he is very good at selling guanzi, and he did not say a word about the origin of Hu Xueyan and this painting. He saw that the old man Qilin seemed to be very interested in Hu Xueyan, so he used a famous quote by Hu Xueyan as an introduction and said: "Old man Qilin, you always seem to like Hu Xueyan very much?" ”
"Well, a little, but not all." Qilin Wall smiled faintly.
"Oh, then Hu Xueyan has a sentence that you must have heard." Dong Tianyue said with a smile.
"Please." Qilin Arm frowned, slightly displeased, is this kid testing me? Everyone was also curious, what were the words?
Someone once asked Hu Xueyan, what is a man's life for? Guess what he said? Presumably the old man Qilin has heard of it. Dong Tianyue asked with a smile.
ps: Today, I said 2 more, after dinner, I will pass on a more to reveal the origin of Hu Xueyan and this painting, kneel and beg for recommendation votes, rewards or something!!;
