Chapter 006: Luo Shen Xianzi (I)
"Pulp?" Although I can't be called a master of the five veins, but how to eat this bowl of rice, as soon as I heard the word pulp, I was interested, "Yes, the so-called insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the excitement, this little girl is not small, what is the pulp, there is no conclusion to this day, she actually wants to study the composition of the pulp?" ”
"Pulp" is an antique term, also known as "black lacquer ancient", also known as "silkworm clothes", which refers to a layer of glossy skin floating on the surface of antiques. The real old thing, the luster on it is calm and restrained, and it seems to have a warm and greasy feel to the touch - this cannot be forged in any way, and those newly created fakes, no matter how much they imitate, can only glow with the light of thieves. To identify antiques, pulp is a very important means.
But what it is, no one can say it thoroughly, it is more of a feeling, which can only be understood, not spoken. Even if a layman knows that there is such a concept as pulp, but if he puts the antique in front of him, he can't tell which is the thief light and which is the old light; And a decades-old connoisseur, you can see it at a glance, relying on feeling.
And now looking at the title of this paper, I want to figure out the inexplicable and unclear "pulp" ingredients, and scientifically quantify it, which is really a big deal. If she can really get it, she won't need to be identified by a master in the future, and she will directly sweep the instrument: this is the thief light, this is the old light, it's all done, and it is much more effective than carbon 14 detection.
"A fledgling little girl, I really don't know the height of the sky, the Japanese antique industry and the Chinese antique industry are of the same origin, the identification methods and genres are almost the same, even if the Japanese science and technology are advanced, it is unlikely to figure out the composition of the pulp, I think this topic is a bit grandstanding."
"Oh? How can you be so sure? Xu Qian glanced at me, "I think her project is quite forward-looking, and if it can be successful, it will be of epoch-making significance." ”
I smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's very simple, if you look at the publication time of the paper, it was two years ago, and two years have passed, if her paper really puts forward any valuable theory, the Tibetan ancient world has already had a big earthquake, but what is the situation now?" There was no movement at all, which shows that the measurement test she engaged in is just a dream. ”
Xu Qian smiled and said: "You have to go, you are sometimes a bit strange in your thinking, but I have to admit that it is quite reasonable, but, having said that, studying pulp is not a simple science, dare to set foot in this field at a young age, this woman is not simple, when we meet later, you should be cautious." ”
I shook my head nonchalantly and smiled, "Don't worry, you're afraid that she won't eat me." ”
"I'm not afraid that she will eat you, I'm afraid that you will be confused by others, and you don't even know where to go home."
"How is this possible? With Sister Qian by my side, even if Luo Shen descends from the sky, I won't take a straight look. ”
"Hahaha, I love to hear this, but if you say it yourself, what you say counts."
"Count, count, naturally count."
Soon we came to the ninth floor where Miri Kawashima was staying. This floor is full of suites, and the red carpet in the corridor is particularly thick, and every few steps there is a one-person tall imitation blue and white porcelain hexagonal vase standing on the wall, with a few clusters of fresh flowers inserted on it.
"It seems that Kawashima's visit to China this time has a very high standard of reception, I really wonder, you said that a Japanese girl came to China, and we gave her such a high treatment, is it really for the sake of the Luo Shen Fu map in the hands of others?"
"There's nothing to wonder about, my China is a country of etiquette, not to mention that people take the initiative to return the national treasure, don't entertain people well, when people return to China, they talk about the courtesy in China, but the face of our country is lost, so no matter whether the things in her hand are real or not, the things on the face must be done thoughtfully."
Xu Qian is very meticulous, before we came, she had already greeted Kawashima and made an appointment to visit in person, so we could come up smoothly, while Huang Yifei was still sitting in the hall.
We walked to room 907, and as soon as I rang the doorbell, a bodyguard-like figure half-opened the door and glanced at us warily. Xu Qian spoke a few words in authentic Japanese spoken in Tokyo, told him that he was a guest who had made an appointment early in the morning, and the bodyguard checked the time before opening the door and letting us in.
"The Japanese are really rigorous in doing things, and even the time is proofread so carefully, you said that if we are late, will she really be outdated and not let us in." As I walked inside, I whispered to Xu Qian.
"How is it possible, people also pay attention to hospitality, it is impossible to drive us away, at most, they no longer trust us."
"That's just as well."
This suite is divided into two parts, the interior is the bedroom, and the outside is a spacious foyer in Chinese style. After we entered the foyer, out of the room came a young woman, not pretty, but with a comfortable face, and at first glance she was a good wife and mother.
She bowed deeply to us and said in slightly stiff Chinese, "I'm Miri Kawashima, please take care of me." ”
I hurriedly returned the salute, and after making a brief greeting and introduction, I fell into embarrassment for a while, and no one spoke.
Fortunately, this embarrassment didn't last long, Kawashima Miri fixed her eyes on me, her eyes burned, and she was the first to speak: "Lin Sang, can I ask you a question?" ”
I didn't expect her to strike first, so I had to reply, "Uh...... Excuse me. ”
"I heard that you are very researched in the appreciation of calligraphy and painting, and have put forward a lot of unique opinions, I don't know if I can have the honor to listen to the teachings today!"
Kawashima's words caught me off guard, so I could only look at Xu Qian beside me, but Xu Qian said unhurriedly: "Miss Kawashima is too polite, it's just some vulgar opinions." ”
"Sister Qian, what's going on? It's going to goof! ”
Xu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, with me, you can put your heart in your stomach." ”
"Please advise." Kawashima asked with interest.
"Miss Kawashima's family heirloom Luo Shen Fu Tu, you must be familiar with it."
Kawashima nodded and said, "It's not familiar, I've only seen it a few times, but it's ...... Luo Shen Futu."
"Miss Kawashima doesn't need to be frustrated, I'm sure the picture will definitely be returned to Zhao."
"Finish returning to Zhao?" Miri Kawashima seems to have some objections to the idiom used by Xu Qian, and I also think it is a bit nondescript to use it here.
Xu Qian continued, "Luo Shen Fu is Gu Kaizhi's masterpiece, the painter according to his genius to obtain artistic imagination, the abstract expression in the original literary work is expressed as a concrete image on the picture, showing the romantic artistic conception full of poetic fantasy in "Luo Shen Fu". Therefore, to identify the authenticity of the Luo Shen Fu map, it must be inseparable from the study of "Luo Shen Fu". ”
Xu Qian's words are actually a one-size-fits-all "nonsense", Luo Shen Fu was originally based on Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" painted, naturally inextricably linked with the text, but, how can a high-level fake make such a low-level mistake, not only in the technique, painting style with fake and true, in the charm is even more incisive, so to speak, the real fake fake is not only a fake in addition to it is a fake, itself is a beautiful work of art. However, Xu Qian flickered so carelessly, Kawashima was just a fledgling little girl after all, but she felt that what she said was a truth aphorism, and immediately became interested.
"What Miss Xu said is very reasonable, when I was studying in Japan, my teacher made a very similar statement to you, and I still remember it vividly."
As soon as I heard this, I slapped my thigh with joy, but I didn't expect that there was really a door.
Xu Qian continued, "We might as well imagine that as the Luo Shen Fu picture slowly unfolds, the viewer, guided by the painter's train of thought, involuntarily follows the mood of the figure with surprise or sadness. According to the content of the speech, the painter unfolds the artistic association, and creates the frolicking gods and immortals in the painting scroll, the antlers and horse face, the sea dragon with the body of a snake-necked sheep, the flying fish with a leopard's head, and the cloud car driven by the six dragons. This kind of artistic conception cannot be imitated, it must contain inspiration and divinity, so to speak, it cannot be copied. ”
I have to sigh the charm of Xu Qian's language, this three-inch tongue is not rotten, after Rao listens to it, he will be fooled and can't find the north, as if what he said is true. To say that the romantic and poignant atmosphere in this Luo Shen Fu picture, Gu Kaizhi has really put a lot of thought into it, which is different from the general painting that emphasizes "resemblance", it is more about the pursuit of "godlikeness". The poignant and romantic atmosphere in the picture is expressed by the painter through the emotional relationship between the characters and the changes in the hearts of the people, especially the depiction of the eyes, and the emotional look between Cao Zhi and Luo Shen is the communication and emotional expression of the depths of the two souls. But after all, these are only "conjectures" interpreted in some surviving facsimiles, and no one knows whether the real copies conform to this speculation.
Kawashima listened with relish, nodded his head and praised, and said: "What you said is so good, in my few opportunities to watch the Luo Shen Fu Tu, I found that the image of Luo Shen in the picture whether it appeared on the water, or flew in mid-air, or walked through the jungle, or left by cloud car, most of the images are moving towards the left side of the picture, turning back and looking at Cao Zhi on the shore, the eyes are full of affection, or helpless and sentimental, or want to speak and stop, or reluctantly." After Luo Shen left, Cao Zhi still looked at the empty front to pursue Luo Shen's shadow, even if he sat in the car on the way home and left, he still looked back. ”
After listening to it, I was even more confused, this Kawashima Miri is not as rich as Xu Qian's vocabulary, but the gorgeous rhetoric and beautiful language are comparable.
"Hahaha, I see that Miss Kawashima is not only very good at appreciation, but also has a deep study of Chinese, which can be regarded as a Chinese expert."
Kawashima said shyly: "Lin Sang, you have an overreputation, how dare I get an axe, it's just that Miss Xu said it was too good, which mobilized my thinking, to be honest, I don't know how I said what I said just now." ”
"What Miss Kawashima said is that the wordless eyes of the characters reveal the true love of the two and the helpless grief of falling in love and not being able to stay together, which is where the irreproducible soul of Roselle Futu lies."
