Volume 2 The Journey to the South Chapter 482 Five-Colored Parrot Picture
After reading the drill diagram, Li Lao and the others walked to another place again. Hong Yaobao and others only have to follow, and they are also interested, so they don't think anything? It's just that the little overlord and their guys are almost blind to these things.
"They should be looking at the five-colored parrot picture!" Tang Xin said to Hong Yaobao.
Hong Yaobao has also heard of that ancient painting, which is said to be a silk painting, Zhao Ji's work, which seems to be quite famous. First of all, Zhao Ji's identity is a generation of emperors; Secondly, that ancient painting is indeed exquisitely painted, and it is admired by the latter, so it is very well-known.
"Boss, we don't have to go, do we? When I saw those things, my grandson was upset. Xiaobawang immediately said to Hong Yaobao. Jiang Buwu, Yang Yao, and others, who also did not appreciate the cell, also nodded hurriedly.
Hong Yaobao was very speechless and nodded: "Whatever!" Just don't run around, when the time comes, I won't be able to find it when I go back, I don't care about you, just go back. ”
The little overlord ran out as if it were a prison. Those antique predecessors from China don't know that this place is much more terrifying than a prison for Xiaobawang and others.
When he arrived at the place, Hong Yaobao saw a silk painting about one meter long and half a meter wide. The picture on the left above is a flower, and a parrot is perched on the branch of the blooming apricot blossom, looking contented and carefree. On the right are a few vertical characters, the most authentic thin gold font.
"It's hard to imagine that a generation of faint kings has such achievements in art." Hong Yaobao said.
According to his understanding, Zhao Ji was the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. During the reign of Zhao Ji [1], the traitorous ministers Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian, Li Bangyan and others controlled the government and government, wantonly looted the people's wealth, were extremely poor and extravagant, and were extravagant, and established a bureau of articles for the enjoyment of the royal family.
Moreover, he believed in Taoism, proclaimed himself "the Taoist Emperor", built a palace, and set up 26 ranks of Taoist officials, and issued them to Taoist priests. In addition, his mediocrity and extravagance led to the uprising of Fangla and Songjiang. Later, he lost his country, was captured by Jin, imprisoned for nine years, and finally died in the city of Five Kingdoms due to unbearable mental torture.
"So! One enters, and then it is not entered, and it will not be good or good. Gu Wen said to Hong Yaobao.
Although Song Huizong was a mediocre monarch, he was not without political achievements. In the middle of his reign, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty sent his general Wang Hou to eliminate the Qingtang and Qiang regimes and recover the Qingtang region, which had fallen under the hands of the Tibetans for more than 300 years since the Tang Dynasty. And in the second year of Daguan, he sent Tong Guan to expedition to the remnants of the Qingtang Dynasty, all the way to the new. Xinjiang and. In the vicinity of Moxian, it once controlled the southeastern region of the Western Regions, which is worth affirming.
In addition, he was fond of art, and during his reign, he raised the status of painters to the highest position in Chinese history, and established the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, that is, the court painting academy at that time. Painting is used as an examination method for promotion to the imperial examination, and many new creative stories have been stimulated by the use of poetry as the topic every year.
For example, the title is "Tibetan Ancient Temple in the Mountains", many of the eaves of the deep mountain temples are painted, but the first place does not paint any houses, only a monk carries water in the mountain stream; Another title is "stepping on flowers to return to horseshoe incense", the first place did not paint any flowers, only painted a horse, butterflies flying around the horse's hooves, and so on. All these have greatly stimulated the development of the artistic conception of Chinese painting.
In addition, Huizong's original thin gold calligraphy has fallen alone, and it is believed that it has not been able to surpass it until now. This kind of thin gold calligraphy is tall and beautiful, elegant and sharp, even if you don't know calligraphy at all, you will feel excellent after reading it. For more than 800 years since then, no one has been able to reach his height, which can be called the first entry in ancient and modern times.
"What do you see in this ancient painting?" Gu Wen took the opportunity to test Hong Yaobao to see what level his disciple had reached now. Hong Yaobao's eyesight and luck, the ancient text is no longer good to evaluate, just use it to describe it directly.
Hong Yaobao looked at it for a while, and then said: "This painting is a heavy color, and it is convenient to paint a heavy color painting, but it is not easy to paint it clearly and transparently. Its color design is very harmonious, and the thickness of the technique is well grasped. Stone green is used on the base of the ink, because stone green is a mineral pigment, and it is easy to appear powder gas on the painting, but it does not have this powder gas. ”
After a closer look, he continued: "This piece is very light and thin, and the brushwork is very vivid. The outline of the branches is very strong, and the pen is full of variation. The pen is heavier, slightly exposed nail head, hooked from top to bottom, if the brushwork is the same is very rigid, but too different and can not become a through branch, and the nail head in the tree pole of this painting is somewhat obvious, some are not obvious, very random, there is a natural change in it. ”
After listening to Hong Yaobao's comments, Li Lao nodded with satisfaction, and Li Lao added: "Zhao Ji's painting method is different from the Southern Song Dynasty flower and bird painting in that Huizong does not intend to rely on exaggerated composition, or deliberately create the decoration and dynamics of the picture to win, but is not pretentious, pure Ren Xiaozhen, truthfully painted apricot blossoms, and the natural demeanor of the parrot. ”
"In ancient times, painters liked ink painting, which is very special, and they like color." Tang Xin said.
This Jin had a high attainment in art and attached great importance to it, which once promoted the development of calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty. Like us, Zhao Ji also likes to collect, among which he is the first collector of "Qingming Riverside Picture". An old-timer laughed.
The fame of the Qingming Shanghe Tu is great, as one of the top ten famous paintings in China, it is known as a rare god.
After Zhang Zeduan completed this long scroll of history that celebrates the peaceful and prosperous era, he first presented it to Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Song Huizong thus became the first collector of this painting. As a master of calligraphy and painting in Chinese history, Song Huizong loved this painting, and used his famous "thin gold body" calligraphy to inscribe the five characters of "Qingming Riverside Map" on the picture, and put on the small seal of Shuanglong.
In the more than 800 years since its inception, this masterpiece has been played and appreciated by countless collectors and connoisseurs, and has been the target of later generations of emperors and magnates. It has been tossed and turned, and it has been through the flames of war. It has entered the palace five times, was stolen out of the palace four times, and has endured many disasters and deduced many legendary stories.
"Yaobao, do you want to contact the museum here? If there is no problem, we will have to clean up most of the mess before we can barely get the treasure here. Li Lao said to Hong Yaobao.
Hong Yaobao had already controlled the owner of the pavilion here, and now he was rushing here.
"Hmmm! There will be negotiations in a while, and there should be no problem. Hong Yaobao said confidently.
