Chapter 32: "Fishing in Jiangcun"
Dong Tianyue's panting was not pretended, but he was shocked by the "Jiangcun Fishing Map". He combined what he learned in his life, especially compared with the records in "Xuanhe Painting" and "Shiqu Baoji", as well as his grandfather's teachings, and came to the conclusion that this painting is really as the see-through eye whispers, it is an imitation of Lan Ying in the Ming Dynasty!
Lan Ying is also a master of the Ming Dynasty, and some people even compare him with Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming. Dong Tianyue was thinking, even if it was Lan Ying's imitation, the value of this painting would be around several million! If it is auctioned, it is possible, but unfortunately I didn't see Lan Ying's model.
According to Dong Tianyue's understanding, Lan Ying's imitation has an inscription at the end, such as "Lan Ying's imitation", and then stamped with "Lan Ying's seal" or "Tian Shu's seal". But the seal on this painting turned out to be huge? What's going on?
Dong Tianyue carefully scanned the "Giant Seal" with his clairvoyant eye, and a whisper-like sound appeared in his mind again: "Qing Dynasty seal." "Dong Tianyue is overjoyed, so that's the case! To his surprise, the new function of the see-through eye was turned on again! That shows that the ability of the clairvoyant eye to "whisper" is not accidental.
After brewing all this, Dong Tianyue also thought of his rhetoric.
"Well, then I'll talk about it casually." After Dong Tianyue calmed down his emotions slightly, he glanced at everyone. The father and son of the Qilin family, the father and daughter of the old man Huo, Gui Yumeng, Wu Yubin, Lou Weier and their classmates and Jing'er's subordinates, they were all standing or sitting, waiting for Dong Tianyue's appreciation conclusion.
However, it is impossible for Dong Tianyue to directly say the conclusion, who would believe that kind of thing? Moreover, what is more tangled is that if he tells the truth, he may lose a lot of money in this game. But if he wants to deceive everyone, his conscience can't pass. So, he had to say one sentence after another. Dong Tianyue pointed to the word Juran in the painting, and said lightly: "Among the major painting schools in China, the painting monk is a very special school, and almost all the past dynasties have appeared as art monks. The Guan Xiu, Ju Ran, Shi Tao, Bada Shanren, Xugu, Hongyi, etc., which we are familiar with today, are all great painters in history, and their works are still indispensable models in the teaching of higher art academies. And among them, the giant monk is the originator-like figure! ”
Dong Tianyue's opening appraisal is quite special, and it is surprising to talk about Buddhism aside from the paintings. Qilinbi's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: Hey, this son is really different! Everyone listened quietly without making a sound, even Wu Yubin listened quietly. He knew that if he interjected again, he would be a clown.
Dong Tianyue continued: "Everyone must have heard of 'Dong Ju', 'Dong' refers to Dong Yuan, he is Juran's master, and 'Ju' refers to Juran. The status of the monk Juran in the Chinese painting world can be imagined.
Juran turned out to be a monk of the Kaiyuan Temple in Nanjing of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. Although his temperament is weak, but his literary talent is extraordinary, every time he writes, he is like a literati and a scholar at his fingertips, the words are free, passionate and frustrated, and the artistic conception is broad. After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Juran came to Kaifeng with the queen of Li, that is, Li Yu, and lived in Kaibao Temple. He once painted murals in the academy, and his mural "Yanlan Xiaojing" was praised by the literati of the time. ”
Speaking of this, Dong Tianyue stopped, glanced at everyone, and found that everyone listened to him as if they were listening to a story, and even Wu Yubin was listening to him quietly. Dong Tianyue smiled with relief, the smile was very attractive to girls, and even Lou Weier felt that Dong Tianyue was very attractive at this time. He turned around, pointed sideways at the landscape in the painting and continued: "Ju Ran is good at painting landscapes, and he is a master of Dong Yuan's ink painting, and in the history of Chinese painting, he is called 'Dong Ju'. They are a generation of masters of landscape painting, and they are regarded as authentic in the southern school. Juran's painting style is quite plain and natural, rich and deep, and has the spirit of being tall and strong, magnificent and magnificent. He is especially good at painting the scenery of the Yanlan meteorology in the south of the Yangtze River and the high mountains and rivers.
Although Ju Ran learned from Dong Yuan, he has inheritance and innovation, and some people even think that he is better than the blue. The difference between him and Dong Yuan is that his works have a 'bright and lush, most refreshing' style. In addition, Juran's early years and later years of painting style is also different, Mi Fu commented on his 'juvenile more alum head, old age plain and interesting'. Alum head refers to the stone with many edges and corners. His hand-me-down works include "Autumn Mountain Asking Dao" and "Layer Cliff Industry Tree" two axes, which are now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei; The scroll of "Ten Thousand Pine Winds" is now in the Shanghai Museum; "Yan Fuxiu" scroll, in the collection of the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art. ”
Speaking of this, Huo Zhenying suddenly felt that what Gui Yumeng said was true, how erudite this Dong Tianyue was, and hurriedly asked, "What is the value of that Juran's painting?" ”。 It can be seen from the expressions that everyone is also very concerned about this issue. After all, this competition is more valuable than a gift, and it is not an appraisal meeting.
Dong Tianyue said with a smile: "Uncle Huo, don't be in a hurry, and listen to me slowly." The Five Dynasties period of Chinese painting was a watershed. Before the Five Dynasties, the theme was dominated by birds and horses, and after the Five Dynasties, it turned to landscapes; Before the Five Dynasties, there were multiple colors, and after the Five Dynasties, they gradually switched to ink. The northern school of painting represented by Jing Hao and Guan Tong began to appear, and the style was ancient and majestic; There is also the 'Jiangnan School' represented by Dong Yuan and Juran, which is characterized by depicting the strange mountains and beautiful rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. Later generations called Juran, Jing Hao, Guan Tong and Dong Yuan the four great landscape painters of the Northern Song Dynasty in the five dynasties.
Shen Kuo's "Picture Song" cloud: 'Jiangnan Dong Yuan monk Juran, light ink and light Lan as one'. It shows that 'Dong and Ju Shanshui' not only created a generation of painting style, but also had a profound impact on the development of landscape painting art in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Zhao Mengzhao of the Yuan Dynasty, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Yun and Shi Tao of the Qing Dynasty all drew nourishment directly from Dong and Ju. Therefore, 'Dong and Jushanshui' is like a wonderful flower in the ancient Chinese art garden.
Zhao Mengzhao, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Dong Qichang, Wu Yun, Shi Tao, which one is not a famous calligraphy and painting master? Even they have drawn 'nutrition' from Juran, which shows the far-reaching influence of Juran!
Just now, Uncle Huo asked again about the price of Monk Juran's paintings, and I only had two words: 'priceless'. In my heart, not to mention the authentic works of Juran, they are the high-level ghostwriting works of his disciples, and they are all national treasure-level cultural relics! If you like his paintings, you will not hesitate to go bankrupt. ”
Speaking of which, everyone understands that such a painting monk has such a far-reaching influence, and his paintings are so valuable? At the same time, Dong Tianyue has a sentence that seems to be hinted at. What does it mean to be genuine? The Qilin father and son were displeased when they heard this, but they pretended to smile generously and didn't ask themselves. He didn't ask anyone to ask, Liu Shao asked with a sideways face: "Brother Dong, you just mentioned ghostwriting, did you imply that this painting is ghostwriting?" When he asked, Gui Yumeng was also thinking thoughtfully, who wrote it?
The great painters of all dynasties have ghostwritten works, because people's energy is limited, and there is an endless stream of people who want to paint, and they can't cope with it. Thus, ghostwriting came into being. Some are ghostwritten by disciples, some are ghostwritten by friends, and some are ghostwritten by family members, and most of the money is the author's own seal anyway.
"Oh, I really underestimated him!" The old man Qilin was also shocked in his heart, he also thought that this painting might be a ghostwriting, but he was not sure, who has this ability?
"Young Master Liu, don't worry. Whether it's a ghostwriting work or a fabricated painting, listen to me slowly. Dong Tianyue paused and said, "I guess everyone has heard of "Xuanhe Painting", right? I will memorize the above record about the Juran monk, and you may have some new understanding after memorizing it. ”
Everyone is frightened, endorsement? Is he a nerd? Is this a classroom? Wu Yubin knew some of Dong Tianyue's details, but secretly despised him: "Damn, you can show it!" Jing'er and Gui Yumeng glanced at each other, and Gui Yumeng said happily: "Okay, good, although I have also read "Xuanhe Painting", I have never memorized it. ”
So, Dong Tianyue closed his eyes, looked like a nerd, took a breath, and began to shake his head and recite: "Monk Juran, Zhongling people." He is good at painting landscapes, and he is very interesting, so he is famous at the time. Every pen is like a literati talent, on the title of the chant, the etymology of the gun, out of the end. Compare things like others, excited, and frustrated, and have everything. If you are rich in your chest, you will write infinitely......"
Dong Tianyue recited until "six of the one hundred and thirty in the collection of the Imperial Mansion today" did not stop, and the so-called "Imperial Mansion" refers to the Royal Academy of Calligraphy and Painting of Zhao Ji's family of Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
This is classical Chinese, although it is only a few hundred words, but it can be memorized word for word so well, can everyone not be frightened? Jing'er and Gui Yumeng were both smiling like flowers, and hurriedly clapped their hands and cheered, that was called a happy! Women not only love money, but also love talent! The two girls suddenly felt that Dong Tianyue was even more cute.
Seeing the beauties cheering for Dong Tianyue, Wu Yubin's face was more ugly than pork liver. Compared with Dong Tianyue, he will only recite "the bright moonlight in front of the bed, which is suspected to be frost on the ground." "That's it. Seeing that the two beauties were impressed by Dong Tianyue's recitation, Wu Yubin secretly made up his mind to memorize some ancient books on calligraphy and painting when he went back, it really fucking worked! This bubble is an ordinary girl, and you can have money. But if you want to soak in a high-end tasteful beauty, you can't have ink in your stomach! People not only love money, but also love talent.
The old man of Qilin can only be regarded as an antique dealer, where did he study what "Xuanhe Painting"? Straight to the stunned. That's not all, what's even more amazing is that Dong Tianyue then recited the names and numbers of all Juran's works!
Dong Tianyue said in his heart, what is this? Carrying such a little gadget shocked you? He glanced at Jing'er, looked at the smiling Gui Yumeng, and continued to recite: "Juran's works include: six paintings of "Summer Mountain Residence", one "Summer Mountain Forest Map", and one ...... "Summer Clouds and Rain"
When he memorized a piece of "Jiangcun Fishing Map", he deliberately slowed down his speech, looked at everyone, and then recited "One "Jiangshan Hotel", one "Jiangshan Evening Picture", and six ...... "Jiangshan Returning to the Table" After he recited all the 136 works of Juran, everyone was convinced!
"Damn, how can Lao Tzu compete with such a ghost? Compare his knowledge of calligraphy and painting, isn't this looking for death? Wu Yubin scolded himself in his heart, every time Dong Tianyue recited the name and number of a work, it was like giving him a big mouth! What a fucking treasure!
When Dong Tianyue finished reciting, there was silence in the room, and Young Master Liu was the first to break the silence, and said in surprise: "Brother Dong, don't tell me, you can even memorize the entire "Xuanhe Painting"?" ”
"Pretty much." Dong Tianyue said disappreciatively. He has memorized these identification books since he was a child, and he has long been familiar with them. Compared with the Analects and Di Zi Gui, Dong Tianyue prefers to memorize these appraisal review books.
"Damn!" Young Master Liu almost fainted, sat down with his ass, burst into a foul mouth, and immediately found everyone's surprised gaze, and remedied: "I'm sorry, I mean it's incredible!" ”。 The pain of memorizing Chinese is known to Young Master Liu. When I was in school, I couldn't help it, and who would carry that stuff when I grew up? Isn't that a search for sin?
Gui Yumeng watched Dong Tianyue recite "Xuanhe Painting Spectrum", and somehow, the picture of Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke trying to recite "Jiuyin True Scripture" came to mind, Guo Jing looked up at the sky, and recited stupidly: "The way of heaven is more than damaged and makes up for the insufficient, so the false is better than the real, and the insufficient is better than the ......." Dong Tianyue is to Guo Jing, with the same thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the same extraordinary temperament, but Dong Tianyue does not have the stupidity of Guo Jing, but has more aura.
Jing'er looked at her father with proud eyes, as if to say, her daughter's vision is good, right? Old Man Huo nodded slightly to Jing'er, only then did he know why his daughter had a good impression of Dong Tianyue, and she really had some talent. But Dong Tianyue already has a girlfriend, and it's Gui Yumeng's girl, girl, why are you so troubled?
At this time, everyone was frightened by Dong Tianyue's recitation, and only the two fathers and sons of the Qilin family were sober. Qilinbi even wanted to classify Dong Tianyue as a nerd. "Brother Dong's memory is amazing! However, calligraphy and painting authentication is not rote memorization. The authenticity of this painting doesn't seem to have been identified yet, right? Qilin Tianya was really calm, and stood up gently and asked. Only then did everyone wake up, yes, it doesn't seem to have been identified yet?
The unicorn wall is really not simple, so calm, a powerful rhetorical question straight to the point. Dong Tianyue was stunned when asked. Gui Yumeng thought that he had been asked, glanced at Dong Tianyue, and hurriedly said: "You are so old, I also remember, "Xuanhe Painting" recorded that Juran has such a work as "Jiangcun Fishing Map". In other words, the painting is not a fabrication, but an imitation or an authenticity? ”
Dong Tianyue smiled silently, he was wondering if he would tell the truth. Everyone looked over, Dong Tianyue didn't speak? Doesn't he have a bottom of his own? Everyone's eyes converged on the unicorn wall on the sofa, this old man and old god were sitting on the sofa, and they seemed to have something to say? Sure enough, Qilinbi coughed, glanced at Dong Tianyue, and said with a cunning smile: "Why didn't Xiao Dong speak, does this mean that this is a high imitation of the Ming and Qing dynasties, or is it a genuine work?" Hehe, don't you tell me it's a modern imitation? ”
Dong Tianyue was still smiling and silent, in fact, he was struggling in his heart, whether to tell the truth, and how to say what he wanted to say? Or lie? Dong Tianyue stood still with a stone, and everyone was waiting for him to reply. After some struggle, Dong Tianyue felt that it was better not to tell this lie, so he decided: "If it is not bad, this painting should be an imitation of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Oh, how so?" The old man Qilin furrowed his eyebrows, and then asked with a smile.
