Shao Bolin has always been interested in "The Hairpin Lady".

On several occasions, I wanted to design a set of commemorative stamps based on it.

This meeting couldn't help but join the discussion: "I remember that it is the treasure of Liaobo's town hall!" ”

"That's true," Shen Congwen nodded:

"Whether the author of this painting is Zhou Fang or not, it cannot be denied its status in the ancient painting world."

"But ......? Where do you judge that "The Hairpin Lady" is not Zhou Fang's work? ”

Schauberlin never doubted this.

Because Liao Bo has always claimed to the outside world that the treasure of the town hall is the famous Tang Dynasty painter Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady".

On weekdays, Shen Congwen always has a smile on his face, and he looks like a very talkative old man.

As soon as he talked about his favorite topics, he looked a little old-fashioned in his gestures.

Wu Xiaobang, a master of dance theory, saw the other party's expression, and immediately found a stool nearby.

Also doing the same thing as him was Cao Yu.

Both of them knew that with Shen Congwen's character, they must have to talk for several rounds.

This is a habit he developed when he was working as a docent in a museum.

As long as a professional comes to ask, Elder Shen will not only take the trouble to explain in detail.

When it comes, I will write down more than a dozen pages of detailed information to the other party and send it.

for fear of delaying the other party's academic research.

At this time, the sun slanting to the west is bursting out with its final glory.

"Actually, if you want to judge whether the "Hairpin Lady" was painted by Zhou Fang, you can understand one or two by looking at this "Lady of the Governor's Rite of Buddha".

As soon as Shen Congwen finished speaking, everyone's eyes shifted to the painting on the table.

No matter what field experts are in the room, they are only interested in the painting in front of them at the moment.

The treasure of Liaobo's town hall is not the famous painter Zhou Fang of the Tang Dynasty?

This melon is not small, you have to try it quickly.

Jiang Shan will stand next to the "Buddha Picture of the Governor's Wife".

After taking a few photos from near and far, he took out a sketchbook from his backpack.

"Hairpin Lady" is the only recognized Tang Dynasty lady picture in the world.

The artistic value is far higher than any of Zhou Fang's works.

Before the Qing Dynasty, "Hairpin Lady" had nothing to do with Zhou Fang at all.

It wasn't until this painting was included in the bag of the famous Qing Dynasty collector An Qi that it suddenly appeared that "Hairpin Lady" was the work of Zhou Fang.

After that, the prestige of "Hairpin Lady" rose all the way to the peak.

In Jiangshan's view, there is no suspicion of appreciation speculation.

Anyway, there is no author's signature on the "Hairpin Lady", and there is no inscription of a famous artist.

The painting skills and style are indeed very similar to Zhou Fang, and it is indeed convincing to connect the two together.

Thinking of Zhou Fang, the corners of Jiang Shan's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

This person was born into a noble family, and he is good at writing.

The "Xuanhe Painting" of the Song Dynasty once described him as follows: "Writing about women is the crown of ancient and modern."

Before becoming famous, he mostly wrote about the royal nobles and beauties of the Tang Dynasty.

Not only the shape is similar, but also the demeanor is in place.

The sense of substitution is very strong.

This master of spring attack earlier than Tang Bohu, the most legendary painting is "The Secret Drama of Spring Dawn".

The male and female protagonists were the top traffic at that time: Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei.

This realistic little yellow picture of the eighteen forbidden depicts the hero and heroine effortlessly two, two, three, four with the help of four female supporting characters.

Ignore the action and focus on the details, and you will find that every woman in this picture is vividly portrayed by Zhou Fang.

Whether it's makeup or clothing, or red lips and teeth...... Even if it's just a strand of hair, it's fascinating to watch.

Zhang Chou, a great painter of the late Ming Dynasty, after spending a lot of money to obtain this painting, also wrote a yellow book for it.

It shows that he cherishes this picture.

Regardless of the prosperous Tang Dynasty or the late Tang Dynasty, there is no worry about 404.

The people's customs are open, and the official customs are more open.

Like Zhou Fang's wonderful pen, it must be like a fish in water.

For a time, there were countless people who followed Zhou Fang's example.

Therefore, Jiang Shan believes that it is necessary to confirm whether a painting without payment is made by Zhou Fang.

The smartest way to do this is to start with its age!

"If the "Hairpin Lady" is really painted by Zhou Fang," Shen Congwen said slowly: "Then it should be a work of the Tang Dynasty."

However, many of the details on that painting show diametrically opposed chronological characteristics.

Let's first look at the "Lady of the Governor's Worship of the Buddha" in front of us, this mural is undoubtedly from the Tang Dynasty. ”

Fan Jinshi nodded: "That's true." ”

Chang Shuhong also affirmed: "There is no doubt about this. ”

"I agree with that," Shen Congwen pointed to Mrs. Dudu's head:

"For women in the Tang Dynasty, the flowers on the hairpin were all small, and they were often incorporated into the bun in several flowers.

The women on the "Hairpin Lady" are all exaggerated huge flowers, which look extremely ...... when placed together Harmonize. ”

A sketch was gently placed next to Mrs. Dudu, and while Shen Congwen's eyes fell, his voice paused for a moment.

Huang Yongyu fixed his eyes and was happy: "Comrade Xiao Jiang's painting is one of the six beauties in "Hairpin Lady", comrades who have never seen that painting can take a look at it first. ”

"I'll take a look," Cao Yu hadn't seen it, and quickly stood up.

Wu Xiaobang had seen it once, but he didn't pay attention to any big flowers and small flowers at all.

So, he also followed.

At the same time, many veteran cadres looked at a piece of sketch paper on the table.

Among them, Shen Congwen is also included.

He looked very carefully and found that although there was only one beautiful woman depicted on the picture, the general lines were very consistent with the original drawing.

So he nodded and laughed: "Xiao Jiang, have you copied the "Hairpin Lady" before? ”

"I copied it according to the atlas," Jiang Shan 1510 said: "I have never seen the real thing." ”

The enlarged details of later generations can better reflect the artist's ultimate painting workmanship.

"Hairpin Lady" shows the spare time life of the aristocratic women of the Tang Dynasty.

Throwing flowers, shooting butterflies, playing with dogs, watching cranes, walking slowly, and sitting lazily.

Jiangshan painted this, which is one of the "playing dogs".

"It's already very good," Shen Congwen pointed to the big flowers on the beauty's bun and said:

"Everyone, please see, the custom of such a large hairpin flower will not appear until the late Tang Dynasty."

"But I've heard Liaobo's experts analyze it before," Shao Bolin questioned:

"The details of the hair ornaments on the picture of the hairpin lady are also very in line with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty."

Shen Congwen smiled slightly, he also knew which one Shao Bolin was talking about.

"Teacher Shao," in Jiang Shan's view: "If the later dynasty paints the customs and characteristics of the previous dynasty, it is normal." ”

Shao Bolin nodded in agreement.

"But if the people of the previous dynasty painted the customs of the later dynasty, then it will definitely not be able to say."

"Are you ...... too?" Shao Bolin decided to follow up and ask: "The conclusions drawn from the big and small hairpins?" That's too one-sided. ”

"It's just one aspect,"

Jiang Shan's words continued, and Shen Congwen gradually turned sideways in his direction.

"Wide clothes and big sleeves," Jiang Shan pointed to the beauty on the sketch paper:

"Length of a kimono sleeve flat...... From the perspective of clothing, they all belong to the dress habits of the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties.

The most important point is that Zhou Fang's masterpieces are recorded,

And whether this painting is the famous "Xuanhe Painting Spectrum" or the Southern Song Dynasty's "Painting Succession",

There is no mention that the author of "The Hairpin Lady" is Zhou Fang. ”

Xie Zhiliu, a connoisseur of calligraphy and painting, also put forward the same view as Shen Congwen.

All the details prove that "Hairpin Lady" should be from the late Tang Dynasty, or even the hands of unknown painters of the five dynasties.

In later generations, with the continuous growth of unearthed documents, even the theory of Song Dynasty painters emerged.

Comrade Jiang Shan's remarks fascinated the veteran cadres present.

Although I don't know much about this painting and that painting, the words of the little comrade in front of me sound a bit like an official explanation.

"Xiao Jiang," Shen Congwen couldn't help it: "It seems that you really know the clothing of ancient women very well. ”

"He doesn't just know women," Huang Yongyu already knew the details of that kid:

"Jiang Shan is a painter of villain calligraphy, and he knows very well about the clothes and ornaments of the ancient people, officialdom, and battlefields."

"How much do you need to know about drawing a villain book?" Shen Congwen heard it for the first time:

"It turns out that the industry that seems very simple has a lot of hidden things."

"The key is love," Jiang Shan paraphrased Shen Congwen's words after several years: "Because I like it, I can do it to the extreme." ”

"Hmm!"

"That's right."

"He's a lot like me."

Everyone present brought their love to the extreme.

At this time, Fan Jinshi looked at the country again, and felt even more cordial.

"It seems that this treasure of Liaobo is also controversial,"

Chang Shuhong then expressed his opinion: "Before, the connoisseur Xie Zhiliu also raised the same objection, but ...... No one dares to approve of it! ”

"This painting is indeed mysterious," Shen Congwen shook his head:

"In 1972, the painting was sent to our museum for remounting because of a cracked core.

After disassembling the core of the painting, I found that the painting was made of stitching. ”

"What?"

"Oh my God."

"What else can happen?"

Experts have sighed, the longer they live, the more they see.

"I was also surprised at the time, but that's the way it is," Shen Congwen didn't expect:

"This scroll is made up of three paintings, and not only that, but even the white crane and the dog in the painting are embedded in the painting at a later stage.

According to the careful identification of the experts in the museum, the painting should have been transferred from a set of screens. ”

"No one found out before?" Chang Shuhong's eyes widened.

"The master's housekeeping skills," Huang Yongyu has seen in Rong Bao Zhai: "The splicing of real and fake paintings is the most testing of craftsmanship, and even the original author may not be able to see it." ”

Shen Congwen nodded helplessly: "The museum told Liao Bo about this, and their Director Dong directly said that this painting can't be studied in detail, otherwise the more you study it, the more mysteries you will have." ”

After speaking, everyone sighed.

"But," Shen Congwen had to admit: "The painter of "Hairpin Lady" really has no choice, and he definitely can afford to be famous. ”

"Have you been to Liaobo?" Huang Yongyu asked Jiangshan in a low voice.

Jiang Shan shook his head: "No, I really want to take a look." ”

Shao Bolin is the same: "The treasure of his town hall is not just a picture of a lady. ”

"Well," Huang Yongyu also understood: "I heard that most of them are Northeast goods." ”

"Looking for a chance?"

Shao Bolin had already planned: "In addition to "Hairpin Lady", I want to see their "Qingming Riverside Picture". ”

"Qingming Riverside Map?" Wu Xiaobang reminded him in a friendly way: "It's staying in our Yanjing, haven't you seen it?" ”

"It's not the same picture,"

Huang Yongyu took a sip of his unlit pipe: "Yanjing is Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Picture", which is painted in Bianliang, Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

"How?" Wu Xiaobangqi said: "In addition to him, are there other "Qingming Riverside Pictures"? ”

"Yes," Huang Yongyu was rarely patient:

"Qiu Ying, a big man in the Ming Dynasty, also painted a "Qingming Riverside Map" than Zhang Zeduan, which depicts the appearance of Suzhou City."

"Qiu Ying's 'Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival' is no worse than Zhang Zeduan," Shen Congwen affirmed:

"The city of Suzhou in his pen is beautiful and bright, the layout is exquisite, and the wealth and beauty of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are on the paper, which is fascinating!"

In Jiang Shan's view, the biggest difference between the two "Riverside Pictures at Qingming Festival" is color.

One is in light ink and the other in light color.

The two versions of the works are the most imitated paintings by later generations.

"Qiu Ying?" Wu Xiaobang had heard of this person: "The one in the Ming Si family? ”

"Yes," Shen Congwen said with a smile: "I am also a person who loves to paint beauties." ”

The most famous long scroll is listed as one of the top ten national creation paintings.

It is also the first long scroll of heavy color ladies in our country.

Thanks to the fact that there are too many little masters in the palace, Qiu Yingcai is getting longer and longer.

So that few imitations appeared in later generations.

"Why didn't Qiu Ying's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" be handed over to Yanjing?"

"Even the one of Yanjing Zhang Zeduan was sent by Liao Bo," Huang Yongyu said fairly: "No one is allowed to keep some housekeeping treasures?" ”

"Don't say that," someone also stood up for Yanbo: "His Liaobo's treasure was originally brought out by our Yanjing......"

"It's going to be endless," Huang Yongyu's mouth will never suffer:

"Where did Pu Yi get all those things? I can't study it in detail, but "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" was really sent back by Ren Liaobo. ”

Liaobo, that is, the former Northeast Museum.

The first national museum in New China, further along, was the Mukden Museum of the puppet Manchu government, which already collected a large number of cultural relics.

If Pu Yi is busy again, Liaobo's collection will be even more brilliant.

In 1935, Pu Yi rushed to the Northeast Puppet Manchurian Palace with more than 70 boxes of treasures that had been "rewarded" to Pu Jie and other ministers in advance.

After the surrender of Little Japan in 1945, Pu Yi picked out 10 boxes of treasures from 70 boxes of treasures.

When I was about to take a plane to Shenyang, I had to leave eight boxes because of the weight limit.

Shenyang Airport not only didn't give Pu Yi a look to take care of, but also snatched up his eight boxes of treasures.

For a time, "Northeast goods" became another synonym for the baby of the Forbidden City.

But even so, Pu Yi still couldn't run away.

Even the people and goods were all escorted away by the Soviet Red Army.

While he was in the Far Eastern Boli prison, the Soviets asked him a lot of questions.

One of them mentioned many times is: "Where is the authentic work of "Qingming Riverside Map"? ”

According to the confession of Pu Yi's entourage, Pu Yi brought out a total of six "Qingming Riverside Pictures" during this trip.
