After arguing for a long time, Wen Yiming finally decided to donate it to the Jinling Library, after all, most of them were there, so it should be so. Director Cui excitedly shook Wu Tianyuan's hand and was grateful.

Ling Junsheng patted his old friend on the shoulder and explained: "Old Qian, Guoyun Tower is all in Jinling, this time it is also a grand event that all the splendid Wanhua Valley has gathered, the beauty of a gentleman as an adult, forget it!"

Curator Qian nodded helplessly, in fact, this matter is a bit difficult, mainly because he didn't vent his grievances last time, so he came out to stir up the situation. Think about it calmly in case you snatch the last three volumes, it will completely tear your face, and public opinion will not be good.

The ancient books were temporarily taken away by Jinling for safekeeping, and a grand press conference will be held next Monday to officially announce to the society that the splendid Wanhua Valley has finally returned to its hometown.

Wen Yiming also became the honorary advisor of the library, and Director Cui sorted out the incense recipes of the past dynasties and asked him to study them, and both sides took what they needed, and they were all happy.

The two sides met in Jinling, Director Cui left first, looking at Qian Lao's very depressed expression, Ling Junsheng smiled and said: "Don't be depressed, I will officially introduce you to a master, Wen Yiming, Master Xiangdao, with him, any troubles are floating clouds!"

Wen Yiming stood up and began to arrange the incense mat, a furnace of meditation incense made Curator Qian stunned, only to know why Ling Junsheng admired this young man so much.

Before leaving, he took Wen Yiming's hand and said warmly: "When Mr. comes back, please be sure to go to the cold house to sit, the old red carpet is paved, the water is splashed on the street, and you are welcome to come." ”

Sending everyone away, Ling Tiancheng was very excited, he didn't expect that there was still this luck, for the antique circle, it is undoubtedly a great achievement to be able to fill the thousand-year-old regret.

Ling Junsheng took a sip of tea and planned: "In that case, how about we leave for Jinling tomorrow?

Wen Yiming didn't care, nodded in agreement, he hadn't been to Jinling anyway, and he followed the old man around, maybe he could pick up the leak.

The next day, everyone set off, arrived in Jinling in the afternoon, stayed in the hotel, and there were still a few days before the press conference, just walking around.

In the afternoon, Ling Junsheng called on the phone, contacted old friends, made an appointment to meet at home, and took the two out of the house, and introduced in the car: "Meiyuntang is the most complete collection of Zhang Daqian's paintings so far, which is collected by Zhang Daqian's friends Gao Lingmei and Zhan Yunbai, and many of them are personal gifts from Mr. Daqian, which are of special significance. It can be said that it is precisely because of Mei Yuntang that Zhang Daqian's works of special significance have survived, and without Zhang Daqian, Mei Yuntang's collection cannot be achieved. ”

"There are only two places with the most Zhang Daqian's works: one is Meiyuntang, which has been collecting Daqian's works for 40 years and has hundreds of masterpieces in his hands. The second is the treasure island Lin Baili, which has been continuously purchased since more than ten years ago, and now there are hundreds of pieces in hand, no way, who makes people like it. ”

"There is a collection of toys on Treasure Island, which is a top collector group on the same level as Hong Kong Island's Min Qiu Jing House. And Barry Lam is a former president, and he can be described as the top collector among the top collectors. It is said that he has a collection of 2,000 pieces, and each one is a treasure. ”

In the early 90s, Lin Baili began to buy Zhang Daqian and Fu Baoshi, and after 1999, he turned to ancient paintings and calligraphy, and in 2003, he acquired the ancient paintings and calligraphy collection of the well-known collector Cheng Qi for 400 million yuan, and established a top position among Chinese collectors in one fell swoop. ”

His status in the field of Zhang Daqian's collection is beyond doubt, and when there is no Zhang Daqian's painting exhibition at the National Palace in Taipei, the place where you can see the most Zhang Daqian's paintings is Lin Baili's Guangyaxuan. ”

The car drove to the suburban villa, Gao Lingmei personally greeted and invited everyone to the living room, the old man was very enthusiastic, it was rare to see friends, and everyone quickly became familiar.

"Someone asked why I like Daqian's paintings? Actually, I liked to paint since I was a child, but I never drew well, and then I switched to photography, but even if the darkroom technology can cross the photographic works to another space, I am still not satisfied. ”

While drinking tea, Gao Lingmei recalled: "Once I went to Yanzikou on the Kaohsiung Cross-Highway and felt that it was really a fairyland on earth; The swallow's mouth is so tortuous, there is a green stream at the bottom, there are stones at the bottom of the stream, the falling maple leaves and the towering valley above, the wind is blowing, and the grass on the hill is so green; I tried to take pictures with my camera, but I couldn't even capture the atmosphere, let alone the artistic conception, and the camera couldn't capture that ethereal and beautiful feeling at all. ”

"I have no opinion to see Mr. Daqian's "Valley Map", the blue in the middle is like the hole of the swallow's mouth, attracting the visual center; The splash of color is like a stream, black and black like stones, and a little red like maple leaves. If you have the chance, you must go to the mouth of the swallow to understand. I was greatly shocked by this painting, and it was also the beginning of my step into the world of Daqian's brushwork. ”

He led everyone to a painting hanging on the wall and admired: "For example, this imitation of Tang Yin's lady is an earlier work of Daqian imitation of Tang Bohu in 1944." The beauty of this painting lies in the complete presentation of an ancient Chinese standard beauty with willow eyebrows, squinting eyes, a small cherry mouth and a melon seed face. ”

Gao Lingmei said: "Daqian also often uses the people around him as a painting model, such as his wife, girlfriend, students and friends' wives, and the feeling of painting in this way is closer to sketching, which is also the special feature of Daqian's beautiful paintings." ”

"You see, this painting "Bamboo Beauty" is a work of Daqian in Hong Kong in 1951, which depicts a beautiful young woman from a famous family, and it is also his student Feng Bichi's collar open, enjoying the cool under the bamboo, and the painting location is in the courtyard of Feng Bichi's home. ”

This painting was later collected by Feng Bichi herself, and she was very afraid that others would copy it, so she did not frame it at all until 1996. I grabbed this frame. It was only in 1998 that this painting was exposed for the first time, and it won everyone's admiration as soon as it appeared. ”

Along the way, Gao Lingmei gushed about her collecting experience and shared her mental journey, Wen Yiming admired the real collector's obsession with art, and that kind of happiness cannot be brought by money. ”

"You can see that the face of the person in the painting is four strokes, and the makeup has three whites, which is the same as the makeup method of singing Peking Opera. The face is like a peach, full and ruddy, which makes people want to take a bite. ”

"The technique of this painting is also very complex, and the carmine is layered on the ground, which is more troublesome and strict than real women's makeup. The white area is not just left blank, but smeared with white powder, even the back of the silk paper. I have seen this painting framed before, and the intention of the back is also powdered so that the paste does not touch the paper during the framing process, and the painting can be preserved for a long time. ”

Wen Yiming's nose moved slightly, and he said softly: "Deep Sea Pearl?"

Gao Lingmei was surprised: "How do you know? The lines of the clothes in the painting are so smooth, Feng Bichi also secretly told me that Daqian specially bought deep-sea pearls and ground them into powder to paint on the clothes, simulating the feeling of velvet clothing." It's a pity that because there is no mounting, the back of the painting is damp, and these pearl powder have fallen off, but it's a pity!"

I really didn't expect a painting to have so many details, after listening to Kaolin Mei's narration, everyone sighed at Mr. Daqian's dedication and rigor. This is the experience of a top collector, not only to collect fine works, but also to understand the past and present life behind the works, and to experience the joy of cultural inheritance.
