Chapter 184: Offering Ugliness

After checking it, Zhao Junhao spoke: "What Hua Lao said just now is not wrong, this painting does have many characteristics of Shi Tao's paintings. But I concluded that the painting was an imitation for a very simple reason. ”

"The loophole is in the promotion and inauguration of this painting." Zhao Junhao pointed to the corner of the painting and said.

The date on this painting is the forty-sixth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1707 AD. At that time, Shi Tao was already a 66-year-old man. ”

"According to historical records, when Shi Tao was 65 years old in 1706, his physical strength was already seriously exhausted, and his painting and inscription for others had been significantly reduced."

"In 1708, when Shi Tao was 67 years old, his condition deteriorated sharply, and a generation of painting leaders passed away."

Hua Lao snorted coldly: "What you said is indeed good, but so what? What does it represent? ”

"Could it be that Shi Tao's body is not good, so he can't paint? He died at the age of 67 and was still alive at the age of 66, so do you conclude that the painting is not genuine? ”

Zhao Junhao said: "This alone is naturally not enough, you see, what is this painting about?" It's a landscape map of Emei! ”

"As we all know, Mount Emei is located in the Sichuan land. Since ancient times, there has been a famous saying that Shu is difficult and difficult to go to the blue sky. Even today, transportation is so well developed, and transportation is still difficult in many parts of the river. ”

"As for the Qing Dynasty, to enter Mount Emei on the Sichuan is simply a matter of life and death."

"Shi Tao paints with a sense of nature, and he never imagines when he paints. Therefore, when he paints landscapes, he must really go to that place to paint the scenery there. ”

"So if this painting is genuine, then Shi Tao must have been to Mount Emei. So here's the question......"

"This painting was made in 1707, Shi Tao's health was not good in 1706, how could it be that a year before his death, he also climbed Mount Emei?"

"Even if he has this heart, he doesn't have this power, right?"

In addition, Shi Tao was a monk, but in his later years, Shi Tao abandoned Buddhism and followed the Tao. Mount Emei is a holy place of Buddhism, and he will not paint Mount Emei if he wants to! ”

"Is this reason enough?"

"This ......" Hua Lao was silent again, thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense.

Zhao Junhao's words are of course speculation, but this speculation is based on credible facts, and it is an absolutely reasonable speculation that people cannot refute at all.

Suddenly, Hua Lao's face turned the color of pig liver. looked away twice in a row, and was slapped in the face by a young descendant, he didn't have the face to stand here anymore.

lowered his head, his face turned pale, and finally sighed: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible!" I admit that it is because my skills are inferior to others and I am ugly. ”

Zhao Junhao smiled and said, "Yan Shao, these 300,000 yuan, is it worth it?" ”
