Chapter 994 Complete Picture of Bashu
After this calligraphy was restored by Zhou Zhi, it was initially recognized by the teachers in the institute, and he was given a painting of Zhao Yunyu's "The Emperor's Son Rides the Wind to the Green Wei".
Zhao Yunyu is a modern painter and a direct disciple of Zhang Daqian at Dafeng Hall. Later, he worked full-time in the museum to copy ancient calligraphy and paintings.
Because the teacher is from a famous family, the copying technique is a unique skill of the teacher, and the work is serious. During the long-term copying, he has also improved his skills to the extreme. In addition to the copied works, the level of his own creation is also very high. , In some aspects, he is also close to his teacher.
Pictures of beautiful ladies are his specialty.
This painting depicts the scene of the goddess Feng Xu flying down from the sky to control the wind. There is nothing else in the painting except beautiful women and clothing and ribbons.
However, the fluttering belts and skirts vividly depict the movement of the emperor riding the wind in the air and slowly landing. It has the essence of "Wu Dai Piao Feng" and is full of artistic tension. It can be called Zhao Yunyu's first-class masterpiece.
Mr. Zhao is still alive, and the market price of calligraphy and painting is not expensive now. This painting is the "radiation scope" of Zhang Daqian's research at Shu University. It was proposed by Shu University and Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao Happy to donate to Shu University.
Lao Jingxin made the donation at the time. Recently, the Provincial Cultural Center was going to hold a joint exhibition of calligraphy and painting by Zhang Daqian and his disciples. Mr. Zhao felt that the painting "The Emperor's Son Riding the Wind on the Green Waves" was almost worthy of hanging next to the teacher, so he decided to Make a request to borrow an exhibition.
Because the core of the old mirror is somewhat cracked and old, it needs to be replaced as a whole carefully and remounted.
Mr. Zhao highly praised the new mounting work, saying that it embodies the great achievements of Nanjing University of Technology and even has the shadow of the Official Painting Academy of the Song Dynasty, adding a lot of quality to his paintings.
After getting this evaluation, Zhou Zhi came to the Institute of Ancient Book Restoration after school started, and he was considered to have a top position. Director Yuan "added more burdens" to Zhou Zhi, so there would be no further criticism.
Opening the camphor wood box revealed a batch of old and insect-eaten hand scrolls in a shocking state of preservation.
Zhou Zhi reached out and picked up a hand scroll. A middle-aged man next to Director Yuan frowned: "Xiao Zhou, you haven't put on your gloves yet."
"That's it. The condition...it needs to be repaired anyway." Zhou Zhi said carelessly: "You can't wear gloves when repairing."
"Really?" The middle-aged man was a little confused.
Zhou Zhi stopped paying attention to him and began to check the storage status and mounting style of the hand scroll. On the side strip, he recognized a line of regular script on the small seal paper "Complete Map of the Mountains and Rivers of Bashutong Province" in regular script.
After a brief look, Zhou Zhi did not open the scroll: "Qianlong's?"
Director Yuan smiled at the middle-aged man and said: "What? I said Xiao Zhou has "Absolutely."
"How did you recognize it?" The middle-aged man had no intention of letting Zhou Zhi go.
"It can be seen from the cavities that the inner layer of the back mounting is made of imitation Mingren Hall paper from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."
"Mingren Hall was the name of the palace in the Yuan Dynasty, and it still existed in the early Ming Dynasty. The Mingren Hall paper is For use in the palace of Yuan Dynasty The artistically processed paper has excellent quality and is the best at that time.”
“Akihito paper imitated during the Qianlong period. According to archives, it should be waxed paper made from rice paper or silk cotton rice paper. , both sides of paper They are all powdered and waxed, and then painted with lacquered cloud patterns, and gold flakes are sprinkled on the back. "
"This paper is smooth and fine, with very few fibers. Three or four sheets can be peeled off layer by layer. All are available. It is a refined antique paper made during the Qianlong period. Hangzhou Weaving can only supply fifty pieces every year. "There are quite a lot of scrolls in this box. It has been used up for almost three years, which shows how precious it is."
< br>
"Hahaha, Xiao Zhou has such good eyesight..." The middle-aged man no longer cared about the fact that Zhou Zhi just took the scroll directly with his hands. The expert said it doesn't matter, so it definitely doesn't matter. He smiled and said: "This is "Bashu Tong in the Early Qing Dynasty" "Comprehensive Map of the Province's Mountains and Rivers", also known as "Bashu" "Full Map" was made for military purposes when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty invaded Jinchuan in the early years. "
"This is Professor Li Yongxian, director of the Institute of Historical Geography of our school. He is in charge of a large project - "Sichuan." ”
< br>Li Yong first introduced: "This is the earliest existing painted map of Bashu. It should have been drawn when the Qing army first pacified Jinchuan and Jinchuan. It includes a total of 150 prefectures and counties in Shu, and each has a map. A total of one hundred and fifty "
"Wow..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Can this thing be kept in our Shu University? Is this a first-level cultural relic?"
"There are still few first-level cultural relics in our school. Already?" Director Yuan's words were filled with pride.
"That's true..." Zhou Zhi put the scroll back into the box, pointed at the camphor wood box with his finger, and tried hard to resist the urge to open it.
It’s okay to pick it up. If this thing were to be unfolded now, it would cause great damage to the scroll.
“In the twelfth year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, the rebellion of the Big and Little Jinchuans seriously hindered the economic and cultural connections between the inland and the frontiers. Against this background, the Qing government sent officers and soldiers to quell it.” Li Yongxian said: “Although the size of the Big and Little Jinchuans is It is not big and has a small population, but the Qing government fought very hard and fought it twice."
"The first battle started in the 12th year of Qianlong's reign. The second battle lasted from the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign to the forty-first year of Qianlong's reign. In the end, tens of millions of silver taels were spent and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were killed or injured before it was finally defeated."
"In order to fully grasp the military situation in Sichuan, how to deploy so many Qing troops, how to store food, and how to ensure communication and transportation are all very real problems."
"The purpose of drawing a map of the entire Sichuan region is to understand the situation, passes, transportation, transportation and food reserves of the entire Bashu region. We need to understand the situation of the entire Sichuan clearly and inform the emperor of this information for decision-making."
< br>"Each map has prominently written inscriptions on the locations of Changping Cang, Prison Warehouse, Shecang, etc. and the number of grain stores, the locations of garrisoned officers and soldiers, and the green camp garrison at all levels including horse, infantry, combat, The garrison positions, the location of the ponds, and the direction of the route convey a strong military intention. "
"So in other words, "The Complete Map of Bashu" can be easily understood as a 'military map' of that period."< br>
"This is amazing..." Zhou Zhi suddenly thought of something: "Hey, there is a question?"
"What problem?"
"It stands to reason that such an important thing should be in the capital, right?" Zhou Zhi said: "Whether it is from the production regulations or the silk paper used, this is not something that the local government dares to keep in its hands. It must be submitted to the imperial review ”
“This is indeed a Li Yongxian said: "According to our research, the author of these pictures is Dong Bangda. Xiao Zhou, do you know him?"
"That's very clear." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Dong Bangda is Qianlong." Royal painter, and also a famous connoisseur of calligraphy and painting, responsible for When the collections of the inner palace are appraised, the paintings and calligraphy collected by the inner palace of Qianlong, and if they are judged to be of high quality by Dong Bangda and his son, they will be stamped with the seals of "Shiqu Baoji", "Qianlong Appreciation", "Sanxi Hall Fine Appraisal Seal", etc., and included in the bibliography. "Shiqu Baoji" is a precious information left by Dong Bangda and his son to future generations. It is an indispensable material for all connoisseurs and collectors of Chinese calligraphy and painting today.”
In fact, there is one thing Zhou Zhi didn’t say, and that is Dong Bangda’s “Thousand-pole Bamboo Rain Picture”, which was approved by Lin Wanqiu just a few years ago. Haitong Art Auction Company got it and spent a lot of money.
