Because of a made-up Tang Bohu to order autumn incense, Tang Yin has become a famous painter and talent in the Ming Dynasty known to women and children, and his calligraphy and painting works have always been valued by the world.

However, since Tang Bohu is so famous, of course, there are many fakes, and now most of the authentic works have entered public museums, and the genuine works that circulate in the society are very rare, which can be described as rare.

Therefore, everyone paid great attention to the album in front of them, and the observation was very detailed, and it took an hour for everyone to read this album inside and out.

When everyone came back to their senses, Chu Chen asked with a smile, "Seniors, what do you think of this album?" ”

Several old people glanced at each other first, and Zhu Dafu spoke first: "Lao An, among us, among them, you have the most thorough research on calligraphy and painting, how about you talk about your views first?" ”

"Okay, then I'll talk about my shallow opinion first."

An Gongshi nodded with a smile and said, "I think that this album should be genuine, and its creation time is likely to be later than the version collected by the Su City Museum, the Liao Provincial Museum, and the United States." ”

There are now four editions of the Falling Flowers Poems, of which only the one in the collection of the National Gallery has a clear date, which was made the year before Tang Yin's death, and the other three editions are not dated. But after research, except for the Liao version, which is still somewhat uncertain, the other two versions should have been completed between the years and the poem.

"How?" Qiao Qingtai interjected and asked.

"I'll start by telling you why I think this album will be genuine."

An Gongshi said: "First of all, everyone must know the origin of the falling flower poem, right? ”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Tang Yin loved peach blossoms all his life. The villa was named "Peach Blossom Temple", and he called himself "Peach Blossom Temple" and wrote a lot of peach blossom poems. His representative work is "Falling Flower Poems".

Tang Yin's poems of falling flowers are composed for harmony. The time of the poem is the spring of the seventeenth year of the Ming Hongji. That is, when Tang Yin was about thirty-four years old. At that time, Shen Zhou wrote ten poems of falling flowers. In addition to Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, Xu Zhenqing, etc. all have Japanese poems.

According to statistics, there are more than 100 "Falling Flower Poems", and that period of time was the few years after he fell into the fraud case.

An Gongshi continued: "It is precisely because of this that these peach blossom poems are filled with Tang Yin's indignation at the destruction of talents by the feudal rulers. And between the lines of this album in front of me. The kind of depressed feelings that came out of the table were also in line with Tang Bohu's situation at that time. I think it's hard for imitators or counterfeiters to embody this kind of artistic conception. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and found that everyone also had no opinions, so he continued: "Let's continue to talk about Tang Yin's calligraphy style." Tang Yin's calligraphy is not as famous as painting and poetry, but his talent is also extremely high. His style of writing is not far from the shadow of Zhao Mengzhuo, so Wang Shizhen commented in the "Yizhou Shanren Manuscript": "Bohu's book entered the Wuxingtang Temple, and it was almost weak. ’”

"Actually. Tang Yin's calligraphy, like painting, pays attention to a wide range of families, integrates and understands, and the appearance is also very diverse, but he is not eternal. It has not yet reached the realm of "when the meeting is held, everyone is old". According to the literature and surviving works, he has studied Zhao Mengfu, Li Yong, Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fu families. And in different periods, they have different emphases, thus forming a constantly changing stage outlook......"

It is generally believed. The changes in Tang Yin's style of writing can be divided into four periods.

The first period was before the age of 30, when he lived in his hometown of Suzhou. With the same age of Wen Zhengming friendship, very influenced by Wen, so the two calligraphy and painting are very close, Tang Yin in his 20s painted "Huang Mao Zhu Small Scene Picture Scroll"), lake stones, flat slopes, trees are very similar to Wen's fine brush; Calligraphy also starts from Zhao Meng, all of them are beautiful and beautiful, with a beautiful pen, Tang Yin's "Masters and Deep Hidden Pictures" on the word, it is very similar to Wen Zhengming.

The second period is 30 to 36 years old, Tang Yin was deposed, his wife was divorced, helpless to make a living through poetry, calligraphy and painting, when the calligraphy chased the Tang people, and strive to standardize, You Zong Shang Yan Zhenqing's regular script, with the pen dignified, round and fleshy, the knot is biased to the rectangular, strong and dense, the dot painting is horizontal and vertical thick, and absorb the law, the horizontal pen ends like a "silkworm head", and the pen is close to the "swallowtail" in the middle of the pen, very powerful.

The representative work of the second period is the "Falling Flower Poems" written by him.

The third period was from 37 to 45 years old, when Tang Yin was in the prime of life, and at this time he lived a comfortable life and reached the peak of his creation......

The fourth period was from the age of 46 to 54 years old, already in the late years of Tang Yin, since the age of 45 from the king of Jiangxi Ning pretended to be crazy and fled back, he further saw through the world, his thoughts were more depressed, his behavior was more decadent, and calligraphy became spontaneous......

After carefully talking about Tang Yin's calligraphy style, An Gongshi continued: "And the style of this "Falling Flower Poems", from the characteristics of the dignified pen, round and fleshy, and the rectangular body, it can be clearly seen that it was written in the second period of Tang Yin's calligraphy. ”

Hearing this, Meng Yixian had a different opinion, he said: "But I think that the pen on this album obviously has the flavor of Juanxiu, I think it should be regarded as the third issue, right?" ”

An Gongshi nodded: "You want to say that it's okay to get the third phase, but I think the style of the second phase is still stronger, and it's better to count it as the second phase." As for the time when this album was written, it should be after he was 36 years old, when his style of writing was about to change. ”

At this time, Ji Haoliang asked: "Then why do you say that the completion time of this album version should be later than the three editions in the museum's collection?" ”

An Gongshi smiled slightly: "One reason is based on the change in the style of the book just mentioned, and the second is because this version is thirty-six open editions, and there are a total of thirty-two falling flower poems written on it, except for thirteen poems for the original collection of falling flowers, fourteen are addendums." ”

The other five poems are addendums on the two editions collected by Su Shi and Mi Guo, and from Tang Yin's habits, it can be basically concluded that this version should be later than those two versions. And the version of the Liao Provincial Museum, I am more inclined to Mr. Yang Renkai's judgment, should be made in the year of the poem......"

"I don't approve of that!"

Hearing this, Qiao Qingtai retorted: "I think the time of the creation of the Liao version is debatable, not to mention anything else, if it is really written in the year of the poem, then why is the style of this version similar to the version of the National Jade Museum?" ”

"Alright, alright!"

Seeing that An Gongshi was about to argue, Zhu Dafu smiled and waved his military hand and said: "Now we are here to identify the authenticity of Xiaochen's album, as for the academic discussion, we will talk about it later." But I think it's self-inflicted that since none of these works are dated, it would be self-inflicted to determine who came first and who came second. ”

"Lao Zhu is right!"

Meng Yixian said with a smile: "After all, we are not studying history, why do we need to be so clear." Of course, it is definitely better to study it, if Xiao Chu wants to study it, I am also very much in favor of it. ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Let's wait until I retire!" ”

At this time, An Gongshi asked curiously: "Xiao Chu, how did you see this album?" ”

Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's just very usual, I flipped through the book and found it." ”

"It's that simple?" An Gongshi was very surprised when he heard this, and he said with envy: "Then your luck is really good!" ”

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao Chu's luck has always been so good, among his collections, Tang Bohu's "Falling Flower Poems" is not the best. ”

"Isn't it, isn't it the best?" Meng Yixian and the others all showed expressions of disbelief when they heard this, and felt that what Zhu Dafu said was too exaggerated.

Zhu Dafu smiled slightly, did not argue, and said: "When you see Xiaochen's collection in the future, you will know whether what I said is right." ”

Hearing Zhu Dafu say this, An Gongshi was a little curious, and he said: "Xiao Chu, if it's convenient, can you reveal which famous artist's work you got recently, and let us open our eyes?" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "What's inconvenient about this, if it's the last one, it's a few days ago, when I went to Wucheng, I received a regular script "Luo Shen Fu" by Zhao Mengfu. ”

"What? Zhao Mengfu's "Luo Shen Fu"? Before the others could react, Zhu Dafu stood up violently and shouted.

The others also showed stunned expressions at this time, you must know that it is Zhao Mengfu's most famous "Luo Shen Fu", not to mention "Luo Shen Fu", even if it is a small work of Zhao Mengfu, for them, it is already a great thing.

Seeing Chu Chen nodding again, Zhu Dafu scolded with a smile: "I said that you kid, you got such a good thing, why don't you tell me, I should appreciate it first?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "I didn't have anything to do in those days, I didn't have time to go to you, and that "Luo Shen Fu" was taken by my father to the association's party last week, if you go, I guess I would have seen it a long time ago!" ”

Zhu Dafu shook his head regretfully: "Hey! What a pity! If I had known that, I would have been a day late! When I go back, I must go to Lao Wu to have a good look. ”

Meng Yixian rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhu, I haven't been to your place for a long time, when you leave, let's go to the capital together, what do you think?" ”

"Go along! Let's go! Qiao Qingtai and An Gongshi also said in unison. Ji Haoliang next to him also wanted to see it, but except for Meng Yixian, he was not familiar with anyone else, and he was embarrassed to open this mouth.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Seniors, if you go, I welcome you, but after returning to Beijing, I will go to Wucheng for a trip, and then I will go to Myanmar, I guess I don't have time to entertain you, and I would like to invite you a few Haihan!" (To be continued......)
