The exchange meeting made Chu Chen feel more and more of his shortcomings, and at the same time, it gradually came to an end.

After explaining a bronze artifact to everyone, Mr. Wang said with a smile: "Okay, let's invite Mr. Mao to unveil the last two collections of this exchange meeting for you." ”

While speaking, Mao Lao also walked quickly to the front of the booth, revealing the true face of the next collection, but it was four paintings and calligraphy, Chu Chen raised his eyes and felt that it should be four screens.

"This is Zhu Qi's four screens of flowers and birds, now you can come to the stage to watch it up close."

"What?! The four screens of the Bada Shanren, are they really fake? ”

"The bronze gilt incense burner just now is already a fake, this one should be genuine!"

"It doesn't have to be......"

"Okay, you don't have to be necessarily, it's not decided, it's true or not, you will know if you have seen it!"

When Chu Chen was last year, he got a paper fan of Bada Shanren's "Lotus Stone Perched Birds", and the market value of that fan alone is now at least one million, and it is even more of a goal for everyone to compete for at the auction.

A fan is so precious, and now there are four screens on the stage in Weixian, so it's no wonder that everyone is so excited and incredulous.

In the midst of everyone's hesitation, a few people with fast hands and feet had already rushed to the stage to observe it up close. And during this period, Chu Chen found that Chai Pingle and the young man sitting beside him had a smile on their faces.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen guessed that these four screens were likely to be Chai Pingle's collection.

I finally met a group of Bada Shanren's works, and everyone's excitement and enthusiasm can be imagined, and everyone on the scene wanted to stay on the stage. Even if you are reminded by a friend, you will turn back three times in one step. The reluctance on his face was overflowing.

In this case, there is a growing belief in it. This set of four screens should be the real thing.

After Zhao Xueyi appreciated the work, he walked down from the stage, and while walking, his mouth also let out a sigh of admiration, and when he sat back in his place, he sighed: "It is worthy of being a Bada Mountain Man, it is indeed a rare and good painting!" ”

Uncle Wu, who was about to go on stage to appreciate it, heard this, so he asked, "Are you sure it's genuine?" ”

Zhao Xueyi smiled and said: "No matter from the perspective of paper or calligraphy and painting skills, I think it should be the authentic handiwork of the Bada Shanren." Of course, the level of my appraisal of calligraphy and painting works is really not on the table, whether it is true or not, let's listen to Xiaochen's opinions later! ”

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'm not good at this calligraphy and painting appraisal, let's listen to Old Mao's opinion later!" ”

When Chu Chen said this, he was not modest.

In the vast market of artworks, antiques and cultural relics can be said to be dazzling, and there are many fakes. I don't know what to do, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between calligraphy and painting.

As mentioned above, this calligraphy and painting appraisal is a practical and academic discipline that requires a certain amount of experience in calligraphy and painting, literature and history, and art. In the modern identification of cultural relics. Calligraphy and painting appraisal is the only category of cultural relics that cannot be completely replaced by scientific and technological means.

In calligraphy and painting, scientific and technological appraisal can only be falsified, but not authentic. For example, a calligraphy and painting advertised as Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty. The paper, ink, ink and other materials detected by the Guò instrument are from the Song Dynasty, and it is not certain that this work is Su Dongpo's. It is also necessary to compare the styles of calligraphy and painting, consider the atmosphere of the times, and study the characteristics of individual brushwork.

This is because people after the Song Dynasty can also use the materials of the Song Dynasty to create calligraphy and paintings, but if the materials such as paper are detected, they are after the Song Dynasty. It can be concluded that this is a forgery.

In order to prove that a work is genuine, in addition to the material must be up to that era, it is also necessary to know the personality style of the calligrapher and painter, the seal style, and sometimes it is necessary to use a large number of documents to assist in proof.

It is based on this reason that Chu Chen believes that for a long time to come, the appraisal of calligraphy and painting still needs to rely on the experience of experts to make judgments. Since it mainly depends on experience, it will inevitably be restricted by many subjective factors, which makes the appraisal of calligraphy and painting the most difficult and controversial of all cultural relics.

Chu Chen had also encountered problems in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting in Liu's hometown before.

Once, Qian Lao brought several experts in calligraphy and painting appraisal and brought a work of Tang Yin to Liu Lao to help appraise it. Before Liu Lao appraised them, he asked them to express their opinions, and as a result, each of them had different opinions, even Qian Lao was no exception.

In the end, Liu Lao finished the appraisal and gave his own conclusions, but several experts still disagreed, and finally could only break up unhappily.

Such things can be said to be innumerable in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting. It can also be seen that the difficulty of identifying calligraphy and painting, without the corresponding knowledge and profound skills, there is no way to become a calligraphy and painting appraiser.

Let's just say Chu Chen, although he can be strong and well-read, but he is still quite lacking in experience in calligraphy and painting appraisal, if he is allowed to say one, two, three with the help of his ability, but without ability, he can only be regarded as an ordinary appraiser at most.

Chu Chen followed Uncle Wu to the stage, and at this time, there were several people watching with relish, and the two didn't want to disturb them too much, so they took a vacant seat and watched.

Except for one of these four screens, the rest are turquoise, lotus stone double birds, and bamboo and stone double birds. The shape of the stones on the picture is simple and peculiar, and the negative momentum is stilted, and because most of them are top-heavy inverted triangles, the picture presents a strong state of instability.

In the turquoise picture, the stubborn stone rushes into the picture from the lower right corner, and when it is not tilted, it is cleverly supported by Qiao Song on the left, turning the danger into a disaster. Being able to seek stability in danger is a means for everyone.

In the picture of the lotus stone double bird, under the sparse load, the slightly deformed bird stands on two upside-down stones, one lowers his eyebrows and shrinks his head, and the other looks angrily to the sky. Fearful and interdependent.

In another work, a group of rocks fall from the sky, squeezing the birds at the bottom of the picture in the middle, creating a heavy and oppressive visual experience. Although there are two small birds in the painting, they do not seem to have formed a relationship of hope with each other. Each of them crouched in their own little world, their eyes turned to the sky, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, Chu Chen guessed that this might be a metaphor for the painter's situation at that time!

As soon as these four screens caught his eye, Chu Chen couldn't help but praise the sentence "good painting", but then, his brows couldn't help frowning.

If you look at the brushwork of this painting and the appropriate artistic conception, this should be the authentic work of the Bada Shanren. But what made Chu Chen feel strange was that compared with his paper fan, this work seemed to lack a little charm, which made him doubt the authenticity of the painting.

"Is it because I'm overthinking it, or is there really a problem?"

Chu Chen thought about it while carefully looking at the painting in front of him, but based on his experience, he really couldn't see that these four screens would be fake, and in the end, he had no choice but to use the ability.

After a while, Uncle Wu next to him asked, "Xiao Chen, are you optimistic?" ”

Chu Chen came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back!" ”

The two walked back to their seats, and Zhao Xueyi couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaochen, how is it?" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, let's listen to Old Mao's opinion on this matter, I'm really not good at this." ”

Even though he had known the outcome from his abilities, he really couldn't tell a good reason, so it was better not to say it.

Seeing Chu Chen say this, Zhao Xueyi was not reluctant, so everyone waited patiently for Mao Lao's explanation.

After a while, seeing that everyone had returned to their respective seats, Xu Lao next to him spoke first: "Lao Mao, you should just say it directly, just like this, everyone is also discussing what different ways to come." ”

Mao Lao saw that everyone was elated, and knew that this situation should be nothing to discuss as Xu Lao said, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone must have already appreciated these four screens, first of all, I want to say that these four screens are indeed good paintings, and the author imitates them very well, very in place!" ”

When Mao Lao said this, the scene was suddenly silent, and many people showed stunned looks on their faces.

After a long while, Chai Pingle stood up with a hula and asked a little eagerly: "Old Mao, do you say that these four screens are imitations?" ”

Mao Lao nodded solemnly: "Mr. Chai, although I also hope that these four screens are the authentic works of the Bada Mountain People, but this is the case, and this result is also unanimously agreed upon by the five of us." ”

Hearing that it was the unanimous conclusion of the five experts, Chai Pingle knew that the result should be unlikely to change, which made his face a little more bitter, and only after half a loud sound did he say: "Old Mao, I want you to ask for advice......

"Mr. Chai, if you don't say this, I will definitely explain it......"

Next, Mao Lao combined the characteristics of the Bada Shanren with the table of the four screens, and gave everyone a vivid lesson, and in the end, everyone believed Mao Lao's explanation.

"Xiao Chu, have you guessed who the author of these four screens is?"

Just as Chu Chen was learning useful experience from what Mao Lao said, he suddenly heard Mao Lao ask him, which made him slightly stunned, and he couldn't understand it, how could Mao Lao know who he had thought of who the author was, could Mao Lao still have his heart?

Mao Lao definitely didn't know what he wanted, the reason why he felt that Chu Chen might know the real author was also because Chu Chen's thoughtful appearance when he came to the stage to appreciate it attracted his attention, plus when everyone else was talking about these four screens just now, Chu Chen didn't talk about it much, so he felt that Chu Chen might have seen the inside story.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen's expression made Mao Lao sigh very much in his heart, Chu Chen can see that these four screens are wrong at this age, so how high is his talent and level in calligraphy and painting appraisal!

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Chen had been accepted as a disciple by Liu Lao and replaced by someone else, he would have to find a way to bring Chu Chen under his disciple! (To be continued......)
