Chapter 607: Paper and ink are different

The Zhou family is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and if they can avoid vulgarity, they will be enlightened.

"Then how to remedy it?" Zhou Mu had already asked eagerly.

Tang Chen was stunned: "This is a very normal thing?" But no, the white tiger pressing the green dragon is normal in Tang Chen's opinion, there is no perfect feng shui situation in nature, otherwise the feng shui predecessors would not have summed up so many ways to repair feng shui, such as soil and sand, water diversion and foundation, changing the topography of mountains and rivers, and the direction of rivers......

But in Zhou's mother's opinion, this is the biggest flaw!

No matter how good feng shui is, if you don't have a life to enjoy, it is also a castle in the air, which is equivalent to a bamboo basket to draw water.

"Is this normal?" asked Zhou's mother incredulously.

"Isn't it normal?" Tang Chen was stunned, "This is already a long life, I remember that the average life expectancy in China is now more than seventy years......

Mother Zhou frowned and said, "Can't you make up for it?"

"Yes, yes, but ......" Before Tang Chen's words were finished, a sturdy figure suddenly rushed down from the upper floor.

"Daughter, where did you get this painting?"

Tang Chen fixed his eyes and saw that it was Zhou Yunheng.

His face was full of excitement, and he obviously saw something extraordinary about the painting. Also, Tang Chen didn't know how to appreciate landscape paintings, and even felt that there was no difference between genuine and fake, imitations, and weren't they all ink paintings? But in front of a true connoisseur, the brushwork of a painting is like a firefly in the night, and you only need to look carefully, you will definitely be able to see the difference.

Is Zhou Yunheng an expert? Tang Chen didn't know, but as long as he saw the clues, it would be easy to do, as long as he won the favor of his future father-in-law, not to mention a mere painting, no matter how precious it was, it was worth it! After all, landscape paintings were of little use in Tang Chen's hands, and he didn't know how to appreciate them, so he couldn't find a second use except to sell them for money. But in Zhou Yunheng's hands, it was different, Tang Chen could at least coax Zhou Yunheng to marry his daughter to himself, which belonged to each taking what he needed.

I heard Master Meng say that this painting was worth tens of millions, but Tang Chen didn't care at all.

No matter how good the painting is, you must know how to appreciate it, otherwise it will be a jewel in the dust. Only people are the most precious.

In just a moment, these thoughts turned in Tang Chen's heart. Don't look at Tang Chen's surface as a little honest, in fact, he has a lot of calculations in his heart, it's just that he usually doesn't want to do this, he calculates and calculates, it's very tiring. Only when he really cares about things, Tang Chen will spare no effort and want to be perfect.

Zhou Xuanying saw his father's appearance, like a child who had got the toy of his dreams, and couldn't help but laugh. To be honest, she had never seen her father have such an expression: "Dad, this is Tang Chen's mistake." ”

Zhou Yunheng was stunned: "Pick up the leaks?" I said daughter, I taught you when I was a child, there is one to say one, there is two to say two, we don't want to lie." Even if you spend money to honor your father, your father is happy. But if you insist that he picked it up, I really don't believe it. This is Fu Baoshi's work, the number of surviving is extremely rare, even if it is compared to Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi, it is not in vain! Such a painting is worth at least 10 million yuan, I don't think he understands antiques, does not understand Chinese painting, how can it be that he missed it?"

Tang Chen was surprised, it seemed that Zhou Yunheng's level of appreciation was very high! Even if it was Master Meng, it had taken a lot of time to come to a conclusion through careful identification.

It's just that what Tang Chen didn't know was that Fu Baoshi was a giant of Chinese painting in the 20th century, and was known as the "two stones of north and south" in the painting world at that time, along with Qi Baishi. Fu Baoshi's works are mostly based on Tang poems. Tang poems were deeply rooted in the folk at the time of creation, that is, to this day, the "Four Books" that scholars of all dynasties must read are almost dusty, but the famous poems in Tang poetry can still be memorized. The philosophical and moral contents of ancient classics can be preserved under certain conditions, while political and social theories will be forgotten with the changes of the times, and only the artistic charm of poetry will remain young forever. The painter's use of Tang poetry has its universal aspect, but Fu Baoshi's Tang poetic paintings have different and general particularities. Fu Baoshi's paintings are based on the poetic ideas of the ancients, or draw inspiration from them, and grasp their spiritual essence for artistic recreation, without the need for poems and full of poetry.

Fu Baoshi's poetic paintings of the ancients have both grand masterpieces and small pieces, although some of the paintings are inscribed with verses, but do not occupy an important position, some only write the title, sometimes only the title, but the reader knows at a glance which poem it is. It is no accident that this realm has been achieved. All of his paintings are poems transformed into visual images, because Fu Baoshi himself has the temperament of a poet. In addition to those marked as poetic paintings, all the "hills and valleys in the chest" or sketches are all poetic captures of nature. A description of an ancient person or an anecdote is a poem that praises an ancient person or sings about a certain scene. The language of painting is the language of poetry, and the artistic conception of painting is the artistic conception of poetry. It is different from the so-called "poetry with painting", but poetry is painting, and painting is poetry. In addition, there are not many surviving quantities, so Fu Baoshi's paintings are very valuable, even if it is a work of practice, if it is well packaged, it will definitely be sold at a price of not less than 10 million yuan if it is on the auction house.

"At first, I thought it was an imitation, after all, the technique of 'bouldering' is not very mature. But I found a very different problem, and that was paper. Fu Baoshi likes to use rice paper for figure painting, and leather paper for landscape painting. However, before the forties of the last century, both figure painting and landscape painting were made of rice paper. Forty-six years later, because Mr. Fu was in Sichuan Province, it was extremely difficult to buy rice paper, and leather paper in Guizhou Province was available everywhere. This kind of paper is rough and ochre yellow, but there is still merit in reflecting the ink color, so the old people and landscapes who painted people in this period often used the leather paper produced in Duyun County, Guizhou Province, and the rice paper was commonly used in the paintings of ladies. In the late 50s and early 60s, Fu Baoshi purchased four-foot handmade leather paper produced in Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province, so a large number of works in this period were painted on Wenzhou leather paper. After the 60s, almost all of the paper used by Fu Baoshi for painting was this kind of Qianlong rice paper and Qianlong leather paper.

According to the paper used by Fu Baoshi in different periods, especially the leather paper of Guizhou Province, Qianlong Xuan paper, and Qianlong leather paper, modern forgers cannot obtain it, which is an important basis for identifying the authenticity of Fu Baoshi's works. This painting is actually a piece of leather paper in Guizhou Province, coupled with the 'bouldering' technique, which just confirms that Fu Baoshi's technique was not successful at that time, isn't it the most powerful evidence!"

Zhou Yunheng's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and his eyes seemed to be flashing with joy: "Besides, Fu Baoshi is a painter who is very particular about painting supplies and tools, especially the requirements for ink ingots, and he is more serious. He collected a large number of famous inks from the Ming and Qing dynasties, not as antiques, but for painting. He used to use oil smoke, paint smoke and old ink, grinding inkstone to paint, never trying to be convenient, painting with ink, without exception. Observing the heavy ink of his landscape paintings, it is black and shiny with purple light, and the black is translucent and shiny with ink rhyme. Look at this, is there a faint purple light? This is the real work, this is the real work, finally show me the real work of Fu Baoshi!"

Zhou Xuanying pouted dissatisfiedly, and after telling Tang Chen about the process of picking up the leak, Zhou Yunheng changed from full of surprise to full of surprise: "So, this painting was indeed bought by you for two thousand yuan?!"
