Chapter Ninety-Three: The Joint Test of the Old Fellows [I]
Li Mobai couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw the demeanor of these old guys, since you want to test me, I will also shock you first, it can be regarded as a flattening.
After a few old guys fought for me, they finally calmed down, all of them were red and excited, but no one said the result, you look at me, I look at you.
"After reading it, do you want to talk about it too?" The old man looked around at the excited old guys and said with a smile.
Several old guys didn't speak, but they couldn't hide their excitement, and finally Zhang Changshuo, who first looked at the painting, finally spoke, "In my opinion, when it is Mr. Daoxuan's real handiwork, whether it is the painting technique, or the coloring and ink of the figure image, it is a typical Wu style of painting, the gesture is round, the clothes and ribbons are fluttering, and the figure is like a sight, only Mr. Daoxuan has such skills." ”
As soon as Zhang Changshuo's voice fell, Mo Zhengjin also said, "Judging from the silk used in this painting, it is a typical plain silk of the Tang Dynasty, and the style of painting has been made very clear by Lao Zhang just now, and I deeply agree." ”
"I also agree, although there is no knowledge of the style, and there is no collection of seals, but Tang paintings do not have the custom of seals, and it is not until some paintings and calligraphy in the Song Dynasty that they have a sense of style; There is no need to mention the collection of seals, the people who got this painting at that time were not qualified, and the seals were only really popular in the Song Dynasty, indicating that this painting has never been discovered by famous artists, so there will be no one at all. Hu Yuanzheng also agreed, his face still red.
As for Zhao Defang, He Zhiqiu, and Wang Ruchang, they also agree, but they are not good at calligraphy and painting, but they are deeply fascinated by the artistic conception conveyed in the paintings.
"Mo Bai, you just said that you bought it at the auction? Is there such a good thing? Zhao Defang asked with some confusion.
"That's true, but it's not a regular auction, it's an auction party with a party surname!" Li Mobai smiled and explained.
"Hey, no wonder, your kid's luck is really good, but it also shows that your eyesight is completely ready to be a teacher, if you knew this, you don't need to come to this school today!" Zhang Changshuo, who was next to him, also sighed and said when he heard it.
"Mo Bai, if you don't dislike it, I'll frame this painting for you, a good painting and a good frame can be worthy of her status." Wang Ruchang smiled and said, but there was a hint of strong expectation in his eyes.
"Lao Wang, I've seen thick-skinned ones, but I didn't expect you to be even more ruthless, do you think your two brushes can be worthy of Mr. Daoxuan?" Zhao Defang smiled and deliberately said with a blow.
"I'm not as good as Mr. Daoxuan, but who can compare now?" When Wang Ruchang heard this, he asked with a glare.
"Yes, this painting is still bothering Lao Wang, you can frame it, we still have business here!" The old man saw that these old guys were getting more and more out of character, so he quickly changed the topic.
"I said Lao Li, forget about this today, we have already witnessed it!" Zhao Defang said with a smile.
"I said Lao Zhao, you're obviously worried that you'll lose a stove!" When Wang Ruchang heard this, he hurriedly attacked, directly piercing Zhao Defang's thoughts.
"Elders, since everything is placed here, let Mo Bai see it, Mo Bai doesn't have the confidence to see all these six things through!" Li Mobai knew that if he let the old guys make trouble again, he would not be at peace all afternoon, so it was better to hurry up and get down to business.
"Okay, this is the right thing, look at the bear you just now, where do you have the demeanor of an elder!" He Zhiqiu, who has been talking less, hit everyone with a single sentence, including himself.
When several old men heard this, they gave He Zhiqiu a roll of their eyes at the same time, and the meaning was obvious: You are no better than us!
After calming down, a few old guys finally regained their due stability, Li Mobai began to identify the unique things on the table, looking at Li Mobai's identification techniques, several old guys couldn't help but praise in their hearts, it was really an authentic family tradition, and it was worthy of its name.
Li Mobai's first firm thing was a painting, the painting brought by Zhang Changshuo, which was a painting by Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty, with all the knowledge, but he did not collect the seal, Li Mobai knew that since Zhang Changshuo took out this painting, there must be a lot of articles, and he couldn't help but become more and more serious.
Judging from the style of the painting, there is not only the boneless ingenuity of ascension, but also the shallow meaning of Huang Gongwang, and a slight beauty of Zhao Mengzhuo's green and green, the shade, dry and wet natural harmony, not much ink, but the artistic conception is profound, the charm is endless, although there is no unique style, but it brings together the strengths of all families, which is obviously the true work of Dong Qichang.
But then look at the seal to find that the seal is "the Ministry of Rites Shangshu", although Dong Qichang served as the ministerial-level Nanjing Ministry of Rites Shangshu, but Li Mobai has never heard of Dong Qichang has such a seal, even if there is, it should be "the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is in charge of Zhan Shifu Affairs", this is the full name of Dong Qichang's official name, and then look at the rice paper used, it is also authentic.
Li Mobai looked at the painting and suddenly remembered that Dong Qichang has a habit of not using a seal on his most proud work, could it be that Dong Qichang did not use a seal in this work back then, but added it to the paintings of later generations?
Thinking of this, Li Mobai found that he had neglected the observation of the seal, and couldn't help but look at the seal carefully, and after a closer look, he found that this seal was not only the official name was wrong, but also the seal carving skills were quite flawed, and the penmanship was not at all the style of Dong Qichang's common seals, and the coloring of the seal also lacked a sense of vicissitudes of history.
Seeing this, Li Mobai was already sure in his heart, "Zhang Lao, your work is Dong Qichang's authentic work, but the only fly in the ointment is that the descendants have imprinted Dong Qichang's seal on it. ”
"Oh, are you so sure? Dong Qichang's works are many ghostwriters! Zhang Changshuo said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's true, but if it's a ghostwriter's work, it won't seal this seal, the problem is on this seal, Dong Qichang doesn't have such a seal, but the painting is genuine." Li Mobai said with a smile.
"Sure enough, a new generation is better than the old, when I got my hands on this painting, it took a lot of effort to determine the authenticity, this painting belongs to you, it is a reward for you, haha!" Zhang Changshuo smiled, but his expression was quite happy.
"Lao Zhang, why haven't I heard that you have this painting, don't tell me that you haven't figured it out until now, don't you dare to show it to us, right?" Zhao Defang was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, as long as he had the opportunity to attack others, he would pierce him like a hedgehog.
"Okay, you old Zhao, I want to see what you take out in a while!" Zhang Changshuo unceremoniously fought back.
The first painting is done, Li Mobai picked up a Xuande furnace again, speaking of Xuande furnace, the origin is really not small, Xuande furnace is also the biggest unsolved case in Chinese antique identification, Emperor Xuande ordered a total of 3000 Xuande furnaces to be cast, but the current market Xuande furnace holdings have increased more than 100 times, true and false, there are not many people who have seen the real Xuande furnace, so even if a real Xuande furnace is placed in front of him, there is no way to determine that it is the incense burner cast by Emperor Xuande.
But this is quite simple for Li Mobai, because Li Mobai has seen it with his own eyes, and there are Xuande furnaces of various ages in the old man's collection, and one of them is still a real Xuande three-year system.
Pick up this incense burner and take a closer look, found that it is a good stove, the whole stove is the color of Buddhist scriptures, the color alone is already the top grade of the top grade, and then look at the shape of the vessel is also very exquisite, the shape is regular, no matter from which angle it is very symmetrical, the copper is also very good, the color is bright, however, when touched by hand, I did not feel the delicate feeling like baby skin, although the touch of this stove has been very good.
"Old Zhao, I estimate that your stove should be an imitation of the Kangqian period of the Qing Dynasty, no matter the color and shape, it is very close to the real Xuande furnace, but there are two points, the weight of this incense burner is slightly light, followed by the copper is slightly worse." Li Mobai took the stove and talked eloquently, and said his appraisal results.
"Smack!" Zhao Defang heard Li Mobai directly point out the reason why this stove was not the incense burner cast by Emperor Xuande, clapped his hands and said, "Mobai, you have passed this level, it seems that Old Man Li has really worked hard, after I am done, I must take a look at the stove hidden by Old Man Li." While speaking, Zhao Defang also knew that Li Mobai had seen and played with the real Xuande furnace, so he put forward his own request.
"Lao Zhao, you can really confuse the real thing, to be honest, I'm gone." He Zhiqiu continued at this time, obviously He Zhiqiu had seen this stove before.
"Lao He, you are not the only one who walks on this furnace, and when I got started, I thought it was a real Xuande furnace, until I saw the real Xuande furnace until this one was not." Zhao Defang did not attack He Zhiqiu this time, but generously said his experience of beating eyes back then.
I heard that Zhao Defang also had an eye when he first got started, Li Mobai said in his heart, that is what you have never seen before, although this thing is an unsolved case, it is not that it is difficult to identify, but it lacks standards, 3000 were made hundreds of years ago, and generations of descendants do not know how many copies have been made, and a few people have seen it, not to mention what kind of thing is wind grinding copper, it is really hard to say.
After reading the Xuande furnace, Li Mobai picked up another piece of jade, at first glance, this is a very good white jade jade, with white water and yellow soil and red blood, the carving is also quite exquisite, the surface of the jade still has a hair break, but when you take a closer look, you are suddenly surprised in your heart.
