Chapter 407: The Sensation After the Birth of the Treasure of the Kingdom (5)
After the seemingly long, but in fact only a few dozen minutes of waiting time has passed, the treasure of the second display case, Wu Daozi's "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra Case Map", has finally come out!
This time, Pei Jianyi, the director of the Shaanxi History Museum, was responsible for announcing the appraisal results.
This old expert and old leader, who was already extremely excited and full of passion at the moment, raised the microphone in his hand with great excitement and passion, feeling as if he had obtained a treasure from his Shaanxi History Museum, and loudly announced the answer to all the media reporters on the scene-
"Authentic! It's definitely the real thing! This picture of Wu Daozi's "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra Case Map" has been identified by all our expert groups, and now we can tell you with great certainty that this is definitely the authentic work of painting Saint Wu Daozi! β
As soon as the old curator Pei Jianyi's words fell, all the media reporters in the exhibition hall began to commotion again!
While the magnesium lights lit up one after another to the authentic painting in the hands of the old curator, the reporters of the media did not forget to rush to ask various questions
However, this wave of questioning only lasted for nearly three minutes, and the experts of the treasure group couldn't wait to walk to the third display case-
This time, among the ten heavy treasures taken out by the "Li Tang Museum", it is said that there are two paintings by Wu Daozi. Now that the first painting has been identified as genuine, the likelihood that the second painting is a counterfeit is greatly reduced.
Therefore, how can the experts of these treasure groups still have the heart to deal with the questions of the reporters at this moment, and all the experts are impatiently waiting for the owner of the treasure (Pei Pei) to open the third display case. so that they can continue to see the style of the painting saint.
Pei Pei did not disappoint these experts, in this third display case, it is really Wu Daozi's second painting - "Gongsun Aunt Dancing Sword Picture"!
When Pei Pei took out this painting and slowly opened it in front of the experts of the treasure groupβ
Professor Wang, who had studied the famous paper of the Tang Dynasty in depth, first noticed the paper used in this painting.
Under the refraction of the light, the yellowed paper with historical traces seems to be able to see the shallow watermark ripples with the vicissitudes of history looming on the surface of the painting's paper.
Professor Wang's breathing immediately tightened, his pupils dilated, and he stared at the painting.
His mood at the moment is extremely excited and excited!
Because the paper used in this painting is the same as the paper used in the "Dizo Bodhisattva Sutra Case Map" that has been identified as genuine, it is one of the five famous papers of the Tang Dynasty, "flower curtain paper"!
Compared with the other four Tang Dynasty famous papers. Only the birth time of "flower curtain paper" is just to cater to the life of the painter Wu Daozi.
So. Professor Wang has every reason to believe that if it can be proved that the exact age of the paper of the painting is the same as that of the previous "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra Diagram", after the appraisal of professional instruments, it can be proved that the exact age of the paper of the painting is the same as that of the previous "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra Case Map", then-
As a person who has studied the famous paintings of the Tang Dynasty for many years. I have no regrets in this life!
Moreover. All experts, including him, are again available in front of the media. Announced to the world again - another painting of the Saint Wu Daozi is confirmed to be alive in China!
Just imagining this, Professor Wang's heart is extremely excited.
When Pei Pei, with Fu Ya's cooperation, opened the entire painting scroll. Seeing that Professor Wang immediately took a step ahead of everyone, he was nervous and excited and stretched out his hand to take over the "Gongsun Aunt Dancing Sword Picture".
Then, he couldn't wait to hold the painting and walked to the table where all the identification instruments were placed.
Then, with the cooperation of several other veteran experts, Professor Wang carefully scraped out some paper crumbs from the corners of the painting that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye on the transparent glass sheets. Then, holding his breath, he lifted the glass piece in his hand and placed it in the identification instrument.
During the period of waiting for the appraisal results to come out, the entire exhibition hall became extremely nervous and depressed again
As time passed, the identification instrument finally gave the identification results of the confetti year-
On the reading screen of the identification instrument, the answer that pops up is - 1300-1320 vintage range!
- "Authentic! I'm sure this is definitely another authentic piece of Wu Daozi! Professor Wang couldn't help the excitement in his heart at this moment, and unconsciously raised his voice!
Immediately afterwards, the old man couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, turned around, and hugged another excited old expert who was in charge of the identification next to him.
At the same time, all the media reporters who were waiting for the experts to give their results began to push and shove again to try to seize the right to ask questions.
At this timeβ
"I said you two, don't be in such a hurry to make judgments! You haven't dated the paint on the painting yet! βanother old professor standing next to them, who had worked with them on the test, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and reminded them.
Before Professor Wang could answer, the old professor surnamed Tang, who was hugging him and also believed that the painting was genuine, let go of the hug with Professor Wang, and then retorted excitedly: "Just by virtue of the existence of this 'flower curtain paper', who do you think can use the ancient paper 1,300 years ago to make a fake so generously?" Moreover, according to historical records, Wu Daozi was born around the time of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (around 685) and died in the Suzong Dynasty (around 758). In terms of time, this painting should be the peak of Wu Daozi's painting style. β
The old professor who raised the question was surnamed Luo, he didn't deliberately want to pick thorns, but because of his personality - he was more honest in life and work!
It is precisely because of his personality that Professor Luo and Professor Tang often disagree and face each other.
Professor Wang has dealt with these two old friends for many years, and he still boasts that he knows the personalities and tempers of these two old friends, and he always fights and plays a round for these two old friends.
Seeing the bearded and glaring expression on Old Tang's face, Professor Wang was afraid that these two old friends would argue with each other on such an occasion today, so he hurriedly stepped forward and eased the atmosphere and said, "Lao Luo reminded him right!" If we are engaged in academic research work, we should be meticulous! Based on the current appraisal results, it can only be proved that the paper of the painting is genuine 'flower curtain paper', and it cannot be officially concluded that this painting is the authentic work of Wu Daozi. Okay, okay, let's not argue for now, you two don't want to see what kind of occasion this is, let's hurry up and continue to identify the paints of the paintings! β
After speaking, Professor Wang pulled Professor Tang away, took out another piece of glass, and then motioned to Professor Luo on the side to cooperate with him to continue the next step of the identification procedure - the identification of pigment years.
Professor Tang was persuaded by his old friend Professor Wang, and it is right to think about it.
Although he already had the answer in his heart at this moment, the "Dizo Bodhisattva Sutra Case Map" just now had also been double-appraised by paper and paint, and several of them were able to proudly announce to the reporters at the scene with great confidence that the painting was genuine.
Therefore, if this "Gongsun Auntie Dancing Sword Picture" wants not to be doubted by the world, it is necessary to make an additional identification procedure.
So, Professor Tang walked to the other side of Professor Wang silently, and together with Professor Wang and Professor Luo, they identified the age of the pigment in the painting
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After another seemingly long waiting period, the results of the age of the pigments were finally available.
When looking at the answer clearly displayed on the identification instrument - 1300-1320 years - this answer, these old experts finally couldn't suppress their excitement and excitement, they didn't even take the microphone, turned to face all the media reporters, and Professor Luo spoke first, loudly announced-
"After several of our experience judgments and the year identification of professional instruments, we can tell you with certainty that this pair of Wu Daozi's "Gongsun Damiang Dancing Sword Picture" is genuine! Journalist friends, the second authentic painting of Wu Daozi appeared on June 27, 2008! β
Immediately afterwards, all the media reporters who finally waited for the identification results came out became a sensation again
"Professor Wang, can you please answer?"
"Professor Luo, may I ask?"
"Professor Tang, Professor Tang"
ββWhile these reporters pushed and shoved, squeezing each other to seize the right to ask questions, countless cameras pointed at the authentic painting of Wu Daozi "Gongsun Auntie Dancing with a Sword" jointly opened by the three professors, and pressed the shutter. The flashes of magnesium lights come and go, and one stop shot after another is preserved in the lens of these cameras
This moment is a moment of historical witness! It is also a time for experts to feel the honor!
"Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the 'Li Tang Museum' for sending a letter inviting us old guys to come to Hong Kong and appraise these national treasures!" Professor Wang finally remembered what he was missing at this moment, he reached out and took a microphone from a reporter's hand, and then said excitedly: "On behalf of the country and the people, I would like to thank the founder of the 'Li Tang Museum' - Ms. Li Peipei!" It is precisely because she and her family chose to establish a museum in Hong Kong that all of us Chinese can no longer have regrets! So that our people do not have to cross the ocean and go to museums in other countries to pay homage to the authentic works of painting St. Wu Daozi! I want to loudly announce to the people of the country that the true handiwork of the painting of Saint Wu Daozi has returned to its motherland, China! (To be continued......)
