Chapter 1056: Unique Skill
Everyone chatted while eating, and the topic soon turned to the Three Gorges. From now on, it seems that the country has indeed a heavy task. Everyone speculates that all the cultural and cultural protection personnel from all over the country will go to the Three Gorges. support.
"It seems that the water storage is also done slowly, right?" Zhou Zhi guessed: "Such a big project will not take many years to repair, and it will also take many years to store the water? So it is not a waste of time."
"How many cultural relics and historic sites are there in Jiachuan?" Lin Wanqiu asked.
This matter is very clear to me. He took advantage of holidays and weekends to conduct the census of immovable cultural relics in Jiachuan in a few years. Now he has many treasures: "Han and Song Dynasty tombs, cliff tomb stone caves, The ancient city of Divine Arm cannot be moved. Forget it, the ones that are worth saving can still be relocated like Fawang Temple, Baiyun Temple, Longshou Bridge, Xianwang Tomb, Chuanzhu Temple, Return to Me River and Mountain Stone Carvings, White Pagoda, the old house of the Wu family, the old house of the Yang family... Seven Eighty places. Sister Wanqiu, why are you asking this?”
"I'm thinking that the geography of Jiachuan is similar to that along the Three Gorges. The situation in Jiachuan can be used as evidence for various places along the line." Lin Wanqiu frowned: "There are so many places in one county, and the situation is indeed serious."
“Our county It's relatively small." Zhou Zhi said: "Yuzhou, Fengjie, Wushan... there are many more historical sites along the way than Jiachuan."
"That road starts from the ancient Shu civilization and passes through the ancient Yangtze River civilization. Shu Civilization and Minjiang Civilization Corridor, and Huang The legend of the ancient Shu king Bieling is an important channel for communication between river civilizations. "
" Later, Zigui and Fuling became the starting point of the important Lychee Road, and the Yiling Road passed through it. The Jialing River channel enters Hanzhong An important river port in the region.”
“Even some seemingly inconspicuous ruins are very important, such as the Zhongbao Island ruins. The salt refining ruins there are the earliest evidence of our Chinese nation refining table salt. ”
"We have to do this." Zhang Cheng nodded seriously.
"I think Wanqiu, you should take the lead." Fei Guan said: "Of all the people, you have the most influence, you have a good image, and you have overseas connections. Even if you ask for help, you are much more powerful than us. !”
“We can work on both sides,” Zhou Zhi said: “Sister Wanqiu and the others can prepare a fund to help the country with cultural protection resettlement and relocation. . ”
“Brother Cheng and I can join as private collectors and protect those things that the country does not care about by purchasing private collections.”
"Then I'll go back and discuss it with Lehai." Lin Wanqiu said with a smile: "It's best to get the father-in-law too. In terms of influence, they are even more powerful."
After dinner, everyone started the biggest appraisal of the day - calligraphy and painting.
In today's calligraphy and painting collection world, a strange phenomenon has also appeared, that is, the age is reversed.
The price of the works of modern painters was far higher than that of the Qing Dynasty painters, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty or even the Song Dynasty that the prices of the works were on par with those of modern painters again.
The reasons for the formation of such a depression are a bit confusing to Zhou Zhi. In the end, we can only think that the craze for collecting Eastern art originated in the West. The works of modern painters have absorbed a large number of Western techniques, which may make them more familiar.
In the past, success relied on age and inventory. The Qing Dynasty was too recent and the inventory was a bit too much, so it was not popular.
Of course, this depression is only relative. The prices of the works of first-class painters in the Qing Dynasty will soar very quickly in the future.
The works of modern painters, except for those at the head, soon entered a "stagnant period" in price.
On the contrary, the ancient paintings of the Song and Ming Dynasties have been rising at a steady rate, and there was no sign of stopping until Zhou Zhi passed through.
Ouyang Youhe became a leading actor in the Republic of China and became the dean of a provincial drama academy in New China. Therefore, he had deep contacts with modern cultural figures. There are quite a few modern painters in his works. work.
Modern painters are also divided into different levels. The ones everyone is familiar with are basically in the first echelon.
For example, Ren Bonian, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Liu Haisu, Pan Tianshou, Lin Fengmian, Chang Yu, Fu Baoshi, Li Keran, Li Kuchan, etc. There are some people in the second echelon that you may not be familiar with, such as Guan Shanyue, Dong Shouping, Lu Yanshao, Shi Lu, Huang Zhou, Jiang Zhaohe, Zhang Shanju, Gao Jianfu, Gao Qifeng, Wu Hufan, Hu Peiheng, Lin Sanzhi, etc. people.
Among Ouyang Youhe's two cylinders of calligraphy and painting scrolls, many are the works of these painters, mixed in with a bunch of unknown painters' works, it can be called a mixed bag.
However, the themes are common themes for these painters. The paintings are not very elaborate, but the inscriptions are there, and there are also book titles such as "Youhe Brother Yazheng". In later generations, this is called "to" "Sign" has appreciation value.
We found Qi Baishi’s shrimps, Xu Beihong’s horses, Huang Zhou’s donkeys, as well as Li Keran’s landscapes of the Li River and Liu Haisu’s colorful green mountains.
These paintings were all casually painted by the artist as part of his social activities.
This is also a very interesting phenomenon. Although they are famous artists, they are sometimes tired of coping and want to be lazy. Therefore, they will have a batch of paintings, and future generations can find that the similarities are very high.
This is actually "copying yourself". Painters will often simplify a painting that they feel proud of, and then copy it in batches. The purpose is "mass production" to deal with supplicants with ordinary connections. of.
Of course these paintings are not masterpieces by famous artists, but they are genuine, so they are quite popular and the prices are quite good.
These paintings are hot spots in auctions nowadays, and Lin Wanqiu is certainly interested.
In the end, five paintings and calligraphy works by famous artists were collected for a price of 70,000 yuan each.
As for the remaining works by non-famous artists, one painting was given to Fei Guan for two thousand.
There are works by Chen Shaomei, Wu Zuoren, Liu Kuiling, Qian Songyan, Yan Wenliang and others.
Then Zhou Zhi picked out a weird painting of a naked woman from the things he had dealt with for Fei Guan.
This oil painting is very conspicuous among a pile of Chinese painting scrolls. The artist is named Sanyu.
Zhou Zhi himself pays great attention to the collection of works by painters with a background in Sichuan. For example, the works of Zhang Daqian are only missing the masterpieces with splashes of green and green;
An example is Jiang Zhaohe, who collected two works, "Second Brother Leaving Sichuan" and "Returning Home". A representative work.
Hearing that Sanyu was from Shu, Zhou Zhi asked for him.
The remaining scroll in the other cylinder is a bit old, and there were major maintenance problems, causing many problems such as screen cracking, peeling, water stains, dust accumulation, fading, oxidation and other problems.
Qing people's scrolls, their names will be very unfamiliar to non-professionals, and it is even more difficult to tell who they are from the signatures and seals.
But it is an area that Zhou Zhi is better at.
Even if he doesn't know the author, he can infer the painter's skills, apprenticeship, and standard based on the paper and silk, as well as the painting techniques of pen and ink.
The combination of the two, as well as the mounting style and materials used, can almost determine the age of the painting.
He has a unique approach and can be called an expert in detecting counterfeiting. This is a unique skill he developed after integrating the professors from his fourth cousin and Qi Lao Wang Lao.
