With a preview of the auction today, everyone just enjoyed some local food at this famous food street, a little tour of the nearby attractions, and then a private clubhouse just a five-minute drive away.

This auction is not open to the general public, so the doorman is also strict. When they arrived at the door, Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui both took out their respective invitations, and after carefully checking the registration, the doorman gave Chu Chen a temporary certificate for each of them, and talked about some matters to pay attention to, before smiling and signaling that they could enter.

The decoration style of this club is more business-oriented, and when you walk into the club, there are waiters leading you to the exhibition hall of the preview.

There were not many guests in the exhibition hall, which had to do with the fact that there were not many people attending the auction this time, of course, the main reason was that many of the guests had come to see it in the morning, and it was normal for there to be fewer people in the afternoon.

This is also good news for Chu Chen and them, otherwise it would be inconvenient for so many people to gather around a lot and want to see it clearly.

Next, everyone began to appreciate the lots.

The first thing they looked at was porcelain, and after a circle, Chu Chen found that the lots here were all hot goods in the market, just in terms of porcelain, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and they were all works of famous kilns or official kilns.

But in the end, Chu Chen's face was not very good, because the unearthed traces of some of the lots were more obvious. Needless to say, the origin is not too much.

You know, this auction is not just for Chinese people. Now there are still two yellow-haired and blue-eyed foreigners in the exhibition hall who are studying with magnifying glasses. Then, if these things are taken away by them. Moreover, it was legally dispersed abroad, and Chu Chen felt a little angry when he thought about it.

But after all, this is not Chu Chen's territory, and the organizer has not violated the law, so he can't manage it even if he wants to.

As for the solution, in addition to spending money to buy some important things yourself, at most raise the price and let those foreigners spend more money, although this will still benefit the organizers, but it is better than watching foreigners easily take pictures of these cultural relics.

Next. Among the bronzes and jades, the proportion of unearthed cultural relics is even more, which makes Chu Chen feel even more angry and powerless, until the calligraphy and painting works are better.

Seeing Chu Chen's sullen appearance, Zhao Qirui said softly: "In the eyes of these people, they only have money, and they don't care about anything else, so there's really nothing to be angry about." ”

Chu Chen smiled bitterly: "Well, I understand this, I just saw this." I feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"Don't think about it." Zhao Qirui patted Chu Chen's shoulder: "The strong in this world are respected, as long as our country becomes strong, these things will come back one day." As for us, just be ourselves. Just contribute a little bit to the country. ”

Chu Chen nodded and didn't think about it anymore, and then continued to appreciate the rest of the lots.

Compared with the porcelain, bronze and other objects just now, there are many calligraphy and painting works here. However, the only works of famous artists are Shi Tao's "Five Hundred Arhats" handscroll and Jin Nong's "Ink Bamboo Picture".

As one of the tasks of this visit. Of course, Chu Chen first appraised Shi Tao's works. Part of the content of this handscroll work refers to the version of "Five Hundred Arhats" painted by Zhou Jichang in the Southern Song Dynasty. Of course, although the name is "Five Hundred Arhats", there are eight Arhats in the actual painting, three more than Zhou Jichang's version.

The style of the handscroll is indeed the painting style of Shi Tao in his later years, but the first impression on Chu Chen is that although the appearance of these arhats seems to be Shi Tao's authentic handwriting, the charm is a little worse.

Moreover, the date of this work is 1694, which is the peak of Shi Tao's painting creation.

During this period, Shi Tao's landscapes were indulgent in brushwork, dripping and joyful, and the rough places were thick and thick. The vertical and horizontal are unbridled like lightning and thunder, and the subtleties are cautious and rigorous, and there is no falsehood. He dared to break through the old methods of his predecessors, such as rubbing mountain stones with ochre instead of ink, using stone green as rice dots, and using garcinia cambogia and rouge as miscellaneous dots to depict scorching peach blossoms, all of which were methods that had never been used by his predecessors.

These are all unique features of Shi Tao, but they are not well presented in this painting, which should not be the appearance of the authentic work.

Combined with the information that Liu Lao gave him before, Chu Chen can basically determine that this painting should still be an imitation of Zhang Daqian, and the results given by the different can be exactly like this.

However, Chu Chen saw this result, so he said that Zhao Qirui appreciated this painting at this time, and it was a pity that if Chu Chen didn't want to take this painting, he would have done it.

Chu Chen smiled and quipped: "Uncle, since you like it, then I will give it to you, as for the master, I will help you explain, he will definitely not blame you." ”

Zhao Qirui blinked his eyes and asked with some disbelief: "Really?" ”

"Of course it's true, how can I lie to you?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"This ......" Zhao Qirui seemed very moved, and after a while, he said with some hesitation: "Forget it, it's always a little unbearable to rob his old man's things!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "What's unbearable about this, he won't want this painting anyway." ”

"What do you mean?" When everyone heard this, they were a little confused for a while.

"Wow! You kid is kidding me! After a while, Zhao Qirui finally realized what was going on, pointed at Chu Chen and scolded with a smile.

Chu Chen smiled and spread his hands: "Why am I kidding you, this painting is originally good, as long as the price is right, it is indeed a good choice to take pictures." ”

Zhao Qirui pursed his lips: "Why did I take a fake picture?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "This is not a fake painting, but an imitation, and I think the author should be Zhang Daqian." ”

Zhao Qirui asked with some excitement when he heard this. "Really, Zhang Daqian?"

"It's not certain, I can only say it's very likely."

Chu Chen smiled, and then asked with some curiosity, "Why are you suddenly interested again?" ”

Zhao Qirui looked around. Seeing that there was no one around them, he said, "This is Zhang Daqian." Even if it is not genuine, it has investment and collection value. If you really don't want to shoot. Then I'll do it! ”

"Okay, no problem."

Chu Chen nodded in agreement, and then walked towards the "Ink Bamboo Picture" of Jin Nong next to him.

After a while, Chu Yulan opened her mouth and asked, "Brother, I heard that many of Jin Nong's paintings were written by him, is this painting the same?" ”

In the history of calligraphy and painting in China, the number of ghostwriting paintings is the largest, and the problems are the most complicated. Dong Qichang and Jin Nong are the first to be recommended, and unlike Dong Qichang, who is very jealous of finding others to write and paint, Jin Nong, who was born more than 100 years later than him, has made a high-profile claim that most of his paintings are ghostwriting.

At present, the calligraphy and painting circles generally believe that the number of Jin Nong's own paintings is less than one-tenth of the handed down paintings, and 90% of the Jin Nong's paintings circulating in the market are ghostwriting or fakes. At the same time, the artistic level of Jin Nong's ghostwriting paintings varies greatly, because the people he hired were not the same. For example. In the same painting of plum blossoms, the styles of Jin Nong's students Luo Ping, Xiang Jun and Wang Shishen are very different.

Fortunately, most of Jin Nong's ghostwriting is inscribed by himself, and Jin Nong likes to write long inscriptions. The authenticity of the characters is now an important criterion to distinguish between the Jin Nong's ghostwriting and the complete fake.

Ordinarily. The large number of ghostwriting paintings will naturally affect the price of paintings, but Jin Nong's hand-me-down paintings. However, in the current auction hall, the rate of unconventional land has reached a new high. It's also a rather magical phenomenon.

Chu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I think it should be an authentic handiwork." ”

Zhao Qirui said in surprise when he heard this: "Authentic? You mean to say. The painting was painted by Kim Nong himself? ”

"I think it's highly likely." Chu Chen said: "Look at the bamboo on this work, the author uses the pen of the war to show the wind bamboo, like willow leaves flying, there is a state of laughing in the wind, and the general idea of crossing the sky into the clouds......"

Gao Yiya interjected: "But it's too strange to paint like this, if it is indeed a genuine work, then Jin Nong must be a strange person!" ”

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "This is also the characteristics of Jin Nong's authentic works, judging from Jin Nong's authentic works, his paintings are like water without a source and wood without roots, which is very different from the ancients." To put it simply, it is a strange shape and a simple pen. For example, he painted horses, some like dogs, some like pigs. And his brushwork is like a leek blown by the wind, with many knots, which looks weird, and is completely his unique creation. ”

When Zhao Heyan heard this, she chuckled: "He actually painted a horse as a pig and a dog, is he still a child drawing!" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "No, his animal paintings are mainly taken from the beasts on the portrait bricks of the Han Dynasty, and his figures are transplanted from the Buddhist statues such as Feitian, Arhat, and Buddha-figure in the Longmen Grottoes." He is very confident in his figure paintings, believing that the level should be at the level of Zhang Seng Xuan and Lu Tanwei, and at the same time, with the inscription of "how many grandmasters will open up the future generations", he claims that he can open many schools in the later generations of painting. ”

Zhao Heyan said with a funny face: "This person can't help but feel good about himself, right?" I think he's a narcissist. ”

Gao Yiya reprimanded: "How can you talk this girl, he has real skills, and he is not boasting, what's wrong?" If you have the ability, you can say the same thing, and make sure that no one says anything about you. ”

"Why don't you just talk about it, why are you so strict!" Zhao Heyan muttered softly.

Gao Yiya's eyes widened, and when she was about to teach a lesson, Zhao Qirui said: "Okay, okay!" Don't look at what the occasion is, how rude! ”

"Go home and clean up on you!" Gao Yiya glanced at Zhao Heyan coldly, but Zhao Heyan shrunk her neck, but she didn't care in her heart.

Mother and daughter have become accustomed to this, Chu Chen then explained: "Jin Nong's bamboo paintings are based on calligraphy, and because of the calligraphy skills of the previous decades, the style is particularly simple. Compared with the chic and beautiful bamboo paintings of the predecessors or other famous bamboo painters at that time, there is a different kind of style. For example, he professes to be ......
