Chapter 845 Ten Paintings
“You guys are really good at making things happen for me.” The fourth cousin smiled and said, “I have just finished processing the contents of the suitcase and got another batch of bright things. Qing Dynasty.”
From the leather suitcase I received in Dayi, a total of ten precious calligraphy and paintings from the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty were taken out.
In addition to Shi Yannian's "Caibi Yi Poem", the ancient "Sitting Dragon Picture", Jing Hao's "Shu Mountain Picture", Ma Yuan and his son's "Siyuan Picture", Liu Songnian's "Landscape Fan", More than a year Here, the fourth cousin and aunt also restored Dong Yuan's "Spring Mountains with Colors", Xu Daoning's "Snow Viewing in Maoting", Li Cheng's "Spring Dawn in Chongluan", Li Gonglin's "Xuanzong's Farewell Horses", Xia Gui's "Drunk and Lying in the Snow Hall".
All of them are super heavyweight palace painters, and all of them are famous figures mentioned in "Xuanhe Painting Book".
Moreover, the mysterious collector who previously collected these ten paintings and calligraphy works seems to have deliberately selected the themes. All the works seem to be related to Shuchuan.
For example, "Siyuan Picture", "Landscape Fan" and "Colorful Spring Mountain Picture" are all based on the magnificent scenery of the mountains and gorges in the north and south of Sichuan River.
The "Poetry of Chobi Yi" and "Picture of Appreciating Snow in Maoting" depict Zhuge Liang, "Picture of Shushan Mountain" depicts the scene of Tang Xuanzong's southern tour of Emei, and "Picture of Xuanzong's Farewell Horse" depicts The most beautiful scene is the scene where Xuanzong and Prince Li Heng parted ways in Maweipo.
"Landscape Fan" depicts the scenery of Meishan Mountain and the Glass River. Like "Drunken Reclining in the Snow Hall", the subject matter is Su Dongpo.
As a result, the painting "Sitting on a Dragon" left behind by the ancients has become a mystery, because there is no direct relationship between this painting and Sichuan.
Zhou Zhi and his fourth cousin studied this issue for a long time. Zhou Zhi said: "When I went to the capital of Shu this time, I got a clue from my master. It is said that he was from Siming in ancient times. His most famous painting is recorded in "Xuanhe Painting Book" , which was painted at Guoning Temple in Mingzhou. An ink dragon mural. "
"Master Shigong said that there is also a famous temple at the entrance of the weir in the middle of Shu, also called Guoning Temple, which is the throat of the water veins in the middle of Shu. "
"Could it be that at a certain time, someone The ink dragon painting of Guoning Temple in Mingzhou was copied, and then moved to the entrance of Guoning Temple to suppress the water veins, and finally flowed into the Tibetan suitcase? "
"This statement is a bit far-fetched," Si My cousin is a very strict person. Hearing this, he just shook his head: " At best, it can be regarded as a clue, but cannot be used as evidence."
"And judging from the brushwork, "Sitting on the Dragon" is also an authentic painting and not a rubbing." The fourth aunt also added: "If we say it is an original draft of the mural. It’s possible.”
"There have been too many unsolved mysteries like this throughout the dynasties." Zhou Zhi could only spread his hands: "But when I have time, I will go to Yankou Guoning Temple to take a look."
If any of these ten pictures were taken, If the outside world knew about it, it would probably be a major event that would shock the world. However, Zhou Zhi and his fourth uncle and aunt were preoccupied with the research work on these mysteries, as if this was the top priority.
"It's a lucky coincidence that the senior left the paper and ink collected by Song Ting in the leather suitcase." The fourth cousin said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to catch him by surprise."
As he said He breathed a sigh of relief: "Ruizhi and I finally lived up to them."
"He who can do the hard work." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Is Wen Zhengming's fan worthy of your old bamboo fan bone? ”
"Don't bother with my fan!" The fourth cousin glared when he heard this: "If you want that thing, wait until I kick my legs to see Marx!"
The fourth cousin has an old bamboo fan that he has collected. Different from the popular naked-faced ornaments nowadays, that set of fan bones did not care about the preciousness of the red flower wax ground material and was still fully carved.
On one side are two thin bamboo branches, with two noisy sparrows parked on them, and on the other side is a corner of a willow branch, with a watcher parked on it.
Don’t ask how you know you are watching the excitement. Anyway, the exquisitely carved picture gives people this feeling. It seems that the sight of this single sparrow passed through the fan and happened to fall on the two on the opposite side. On the sparrow.
The heads, wings and shoulders of the three sparrows happen to be where the natural brown-red spots of the bamboo are located. The color contrast between the head and back, chest and abdomen of the sparrows is a fantastic idea.
Zhou Zhi has been thinking about this fan for a long time, but his fourth cousin refused to let go. "I remember that your uncle Yu gave you things from Wang Wuhu and Zhou Ding, right?" said the fourth cousin: "These two are also famous fan makers in the Qing Dynasty."
"Aren't they from the Qing Dynasty? Wen Zhengming is still hundreds of years away." Zhou Zhi smiled shamelessly.
“I’m from the Qing Dynasty too!” The fourth cousin waved his hand quickly.
"The early Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty are different. Baoyue Hall and Dayazhai are two different things." Zhou Zhi continued.
Baoyuetang is the name of the workshop that produced the blue and white pen holder of "Wang Baosheng Lord's Wise Ministers" collected by Zhou Zhi. The base is a blue and white rabbit.
Before the entrance of the official kiln was restored, most of the porcelain tributes to the palace had the Baoyuetang stamp. The collectors called it "an official kiln that is not an official kiln."
Dayazhai is the foundation for Cixi’s own porcelain.
One is from the early Qing Dynasty and the other is from the late Qing Dynasty, so their values are naturally different.
"Don't make trouble!" The fourth cousin finally stopped teasing Zhou Zhi: "Wen Zhengming's front and back fans are exquisitely framed and not damaged. You are also going to take apart the mirror and take out the core. Use it to make a fan? The key point is that my sparrow-spotted bamboo fan is a big fan, and the fan needs to be replenished before it can be put on, so don’t mess with it, right?”
"What about the rest? Don't they need repairing?" Zhou Zhi continued to ask.
"The remaining ones...half of them." Fourth cousin said: "After all, it is much easier to repair than Song Dynasty paintings. It will be completed within two or three years."
"Qi Lao and Wang Laoke asked me to invite you two great gods to the capital..."
"How can that be? Can? Your fourth aunt is in such a situation."
"So I finally turned it down for you two." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "But I can only promise them that while you are repairing it, It will be recorded into video materials and sent to them as teaching materials.”
"You..." The fourth cousin is really a little afraid of this guy in front of him. If he instigates the State Administration of Cultural Heritage or the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China to recruit him in the next document, there is really no way to shirk it: "... That's fine, but Let’s make an agreement first, and that’s the best that can happen! "
"Okay!" Zhou Zhi's goal was achieved, and he suddenly smiled: "Fourth Aunt, I'll push you to my house for dinner!"
Take in the repaired paintings! Zhou Zhi pushed his fourth aunt with the box and everyone came out of the small courtyard together.
When I got home, my godfather and godmother had arrived, and the teachers had also come up. Everyone was sitting in the hall drinking tea and chatting.
Zhao Shangzhong, Xu Youzhi and Jiang Qiao were playing the long card game that Sichuan people love to play, Jiang Shuyi was surprised. The principal and teacher were completely different today from what they were at school and during home visits.
As soon as his fourth cousin entered the house, Zhao Shangzhong immediately put down his cards and stood up politely: "Hello, Principal Su, hello, Mrs. Su."
Zhao Shangzhong is a serious successor to his fourth cousin's legacy. I stayed at my fourth cousin's house, and later I also engaged in education. I learned a lot from my fourth cousin, and I was truly both a teacher and a father.
So when Zhou Zhi wanted to adjust the class, my mother also thought about asking the fourth cousin to smooth the relationship with Zhao Shangzhong. It was my father who said that it was not possible and used the relationship of the fourth cousin to communicate with Zhao Shangzhong. Then If he is suspected of bullying, he should talk about it first.
In the end, my parents’ own face was enough.
