Chapter seven hundred and thirty sixth true and false
After slowly opening the scroll with a calligraphy and painting, Li Mo, who was originally calm, blinked involuntarily. Even Old Master Li, who was standing next to Li Mo, could not help but exclaim in irresistible.
This is a landscape painting by Qiu Ying, and it is also a very representative picture of the Jade Cave Immortal Source. This is not the first time Li Mo has seen this painting. If you add the one from the Baodao Museum, Li Mo has seen three pictures in total. In addition to the one from Xuanqi and the one from the Baodao Museum, there is also a Jade Cave Immortal Source Picture at the Li family.
Mr. Li, who was a little excited, had asked someone to invite the picture. In a short while, two pictures, one in one look, were placed on the table, and everyone gathered around to look at it, and they were amazed while looking at it, and they were really the same.
The picture shows the panoramic view from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain in a lofty way. However, the thin and vigorous iron wire draws out the evaporated clouds and fog, dividing the mountain into three sections, which is somewhat like the painting method of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Use white space to reduce the coloring area of the picture, and adjust the background color of the silk to balance the impact of the bright blue stone and green stone on vision.
Among the peaks of the mountain, there are jade towers hidden in the forest. There are water pavilions built on it in the streams halfway up the mountain. Humans are active in these places. At the foot of the mountain is a huge cave, with streams flowing out of the cave. On the rocks outside the cave, a noble man crosses his face, stops the zither and rests, and cypresses surround him, and is quiet and auspicious. Behind him are a servant who cooks tea, holds a plate, or sets up a furnishing. There are servants who are crossing the bridge on the stream bridge.
Qiu Ying was one of the representative painters of the Ming Dynasty. He was known as the Four Masters of Ming and the Four Masters of Wumen by later generations. Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin not only won by paintings, but also used poems and inscriptions. In terms of painting patterns, Tang and Qiu Ying generally only wrote titles and wrote as few words as possible in order not to destroy the beauty of the picture. Therefore, the history of painting evaluated him as an immortal who pursued the artistic realm.
Qiu Ying was good at painting characters, landscapes, flowers and birds, and pavilions, and was especially good at copying. He was very skilled, and he copied many manuscripts from famous Tang and Song dynasties, such as copying the Song Dynasty album and Xiao Zhao, the revival of Emperor Gaozong of Zhongxing Ruiying. If the previous volume is compared with the original work, it is almost difficult to distinguish the authenticity. The painting method is mainly learned from Zhao Boju and the Southern Song Dynasty style painting, and the green landscape and the story painting of figures. The image is accurate, the craftsmanship is elegant and elegant, the colors are bright, the tones are elegant and beautiful, and the themes and the interest of brush and ink advocated by literati paintings.
The Yu Cave Fairy Source Picture is a representative work of Qiu Ying. The work has a broad landscape, a rigorous structure, clear layers, orderly layout, complex scenery without congestion, small characters, fine portrayals and prominent positions, reflecting the painter's profound attainments in managing complex scenes and arranging the main and from the order. This picture uses large green and green colors to outline the outlines, and the bright blue and stone greens to render the mountains and rocks. At the same time, it is blended with fine texture methods to pursue harmony of color. It changes on the basis of the patriarchal and green landscape master Zhao Boju of the Southern Song Dynasty, representing the typical style of Qiu Ying's green landscape.
Li Mo turned around the whole picture three times, his brows almost shattered his scalp, and he whispered: "I always think these two pictures are real, even the one in the Baodao Museum is real."
The five-person group, who had already obtained the identification results of this painting, were not calm at all, and carefully reviewed the Li family's scroll. Whether it was the style or texture, they had carefully considered it. Then their ideas began to sway. They all knew that a painting could only have one authentic one. Now that there were two same paintings, one would inevitably be fake, but they could not see which one was fake.
Xuan Qi didn't care. He held the stopwatch in his hand and watched leisurely as time passed. It had been so long that Li Mo was stuck on the third example. He didn't know how to give up. Instead, he was stuck here. Even if he became the head of the Li family, his achievements in this life would probably be very limited.
"I won't approve this." Li Mo thought for a while and gave up. He used all the antique appreciation methods, but could not find clues in the middle. Instead of thinking hard here, it is better to get the answer directly from Xuan Qi.
The five-person group was also full of curiosity, because they did not see the difference between the two paintings, so they urged Lu Guangyan to open Xuan Qi's envelope quickly so that they could announce the answer.
The originally light envelope seemed to be as thick as a mountain at this moment, with a desire for knowledge and impatientness. Lu Guangyan opened the envelope and saw a line of words written on it. Lu Guangyan couldn't help but read it: "The original works..."
After hearing these two words, Old Master Li was immediately displeased and said loudly: "If his painting is an authentic one, then is this one I collected a fake, or is the painting collected in the Baodao Museum also a fake?"
Lu Guangyan stretched out his hand and pressed it down. After waiting for Old Master Li to stop speaking, Lu Guangyan continued to read: "This is the original work of Qiu Ying. Later, it was uncovered into multiple layers with superb painting techniques, and then rendered in ink..."
"Nonsense" Old Master Li is considered half a collector. When he heard Lu Guangyan say this, he retorted: "If it is to reveal the painting, we can naturally see that whether it is ink or brushwork, this is completely the original work..."
"Then how do you always explain that there are two authentic works here, one in one?" Xuan Qi's question made Old Master Li dazed. This was really an unanswerable question.
Just like two printed paintings, they are the same, and even the subtleties are exactly the same. You should know that Chinese painting is an artistic creation and an unreplicable work of art. Different forces, different pen tips, and different dyeings will create different effects.
But these two paintings are exactly the same, no matter how you look at them, it is impossible from the perspective that the artwork cannot be reproduced, because no one can draw two identical paintings.
Li Mo also looked at Xuan Qi and said, "These two paintings cannot make sense from an artistic perspective, and even if they are exposed, they cannot make sense..."
"Unless the painter himself uses heavy ink and special silk to paint, and after the painting is drawn, the mounting master will be lifted into three, it will not make sense at all." Xuan Qi said and pointed forward with his hand: "The way to identify a profound and profound way is not only to appreciate the brushwork, but also to understand the painter's age."
Xuan Qi said as he touched the silk on the scroll with his hand: "Don't you think the silk used in canvas is different from ordinary silk?"
After Xuan Qi's reminder, everyone's attention was focused on the canvas. They were not as powerful as Xuan Qi's Qi's Qi's skills. No matter what they saw, they rely on their first glance. Moreover, they mostly rely on experience, so there will be omissions in some aspects. However, after Xuan Qi's reminder, they immediately saw the difference in silk cloth.
"It seems to be thicker than usual canvas." After Lu Guangyan touched it, he became more and more confused: "If these two paintings are genuine, there are many things there. Why did Qiu Ying draw a picture of the Jade Cave Immortal Source alone and ask someone to reveal the painting?"
This is how history is. There are always so many mysteries. As the dust of history makes everything thicker, everything is hidden in the shadow of history, forming one historical mystery after another.
Hearing Lu Guangyan's question, Xuan Qi shook his head helplessly: "I can only identify who painted this painting and who tampered with this painting. As for why Qiu Ying did this, I don't know. After all, I am just a connoisseur, not a reasoner."
Xuan Qi's words make sense. His appreciation of antiques is also very impressive. At least no one found any difference on the silk, nor did he expect that these two paintings were actually revealed.
Li Mo, who was originally arrogant, finally knew that there was someone outside the world and there was a sky outside. He put away his arrogance and self-righteousness, and apologized to Xuanqi in a serious manner: "I will not appraise the remaining antiques of Mr. Xuan. These three things alone have already made me understand the difference with you."
"Do you mean give up?" Xuan Qi liked the feeling of defeating others without fighting. If Li Mo was impressed like this, it would save a lot of effort.
"It's not that I'm giving up, but that I feel that it's better to hide my weakness than to show my ugly face. I've identified two of the ten." Li Mo said, pointing his hand to the side: "President Xuan also shows his skills so that Li can convince him."
Mr. Li looked at his grandson who could take it and let it go, and was willing to accept the loss after betting and not being humble or arrogant. He nodded very satisfiedly. A manly man must do this, and he can afford to win. For a moment, Mr. Li looked at his grandson with great satisfaction. The former child has finally grown into a big man, and the Li family has a successor.
Looking at Li Mo's smiling eyes, Xuan Qi naturally knew that this guy had bad intentions to hide needles in his cotton. How could he have no tricks when he picked out the antiques that the Li family has inherited for many years?
Lu Guangyan saw that Xuan Qi wanted to hide his weakness, so he couldn't help but encourage him, "Xuan Qi, just show off your skills, don't need to be fully identified. I just need to identify three things more than Li Mo's. After all, you have to be a good start and end well. Winning requires a dignified victory, so that Li Mo can lose clearly."
The five-man arbitration basically determined that Xuan Qi would win, but they also wanted to see Xuan Qi's ability to appreciate antiques, so they all said it and asked Xuan Qi to show off his skills.
Niu Fang and others also shouted, asking Xuan Qi to show his talent for antiques. With everyone making noises, Xuan Qi was already a little difficult to get on the tiger. It seems that it would be impossible not to show off his skills today.
Just as everyone was making a fuss, a deep jealousy flashed in Li Mo's eyes. Although he pretended to be respectful on the surface, he actually had a deep pride in his heart. Being suppressed by such a child who jumped out of the countryside was an unacceptable nightmare. Li Mo had already made up his mind that after a while, he would definitely drive the tiger and swallow the wolf.
With the cheers of everyone, Xuan Qi had to drive the ducks on the shelves. Looking at the ten collections selected by Li Mo, a smile flashed in Xuan Qi's eyes. The people who were mixed in the capital circle did not have any fuel-efficient lamps. The ten collections selected by Li Mo were really full of everything. If Xuan Qi had not had the skills of qi identification, he might have really hit him.
Since he had decided to win the imperial seal from the Li family, Xuan Qi wanted to convince them that they lost, so he stood in front of the table and silently divided the ten antiques into three piles.
