Chapter 1764 They are all important
After turning over the paintings of the Beatitudes one by one, the fourth aunt went to rest, leaving only Zhou Zhi in the room.
Put on the light music, lower the volume until it is faintly visible, and Zhou Zhi begins to adjust the painting silk to make it complete again.
A few days ago, Zhou Zhi had prepared several shades of imitation Song Dynasty silk. Now it comes in handy. Wet one of them one by one, compare it with the background color of the painting, and select the closest one. Come.
After roughly adjusting the painting silk, Zhou Zhi pressed a piece of rice paper up, brushed it with paste water, then turned it over again, moistened it with water again, and this time began to carefully piece together the details on the back.
This time is the final piece, which must be seamless. After the pieces are put together, the cracks, wormholes, and decayed parts on the silk surface must be filled one by one with imitation Song Dynasty silk, and the warp and weft must be aligned, in order to achieve "darning workmanship." You can't even see the repair marks at all.
This is also a very delicate job. After it is completed, a layer of life paper is affixed to the back of the painting, turned over again and pasted on the cloth wall. The initial support paper on the surface is removed and a piece of painting silk is repaired. The work is done.
It wasn't until he climbed up the wall that Zhou Zhi realized that his fourth cousin had been standing beside him for who knows how long: "Fourth cousin is up?"
"It's been a while since I woke up. I'm coming in. "You were repairing the crack next to the cypress tree." The fourth cousin smiled and said, "Unconsciously, I saw that now I am not only familiar with my skills, but also brave." "It's big."
"The main reason is that I have already repaired many famous paintings, and I am no longer as scared as I was at the beginning." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It was good when I was repairing Jing Hao's "Shu Mountain" for the first time. I was frightened. I kept telling myself that there was nothing here and it was easy to cultivate, but the tweezers in my hand just couldn’t reach the painting.”
"Hahahaha..." The fourth cousin was happy: "I told you to be brave at that time, and I didn't want me to watch you. I thought you were really not afraid!"
Paint the portrait of Wang Rong with cloth. Wall, Zhou Zhi is very concerned about his level of repair this time. I am also very satisfied: "I have never been so comfortable repairing silk manuscripts before. This is the feeling I found after repairing six hand scrolls." "Horse Picture", Han Gan's " "Ma Xing Tu", even the seniors are not as lucky as you. "
"I didn't live up to this opportunity, right?" Zhou Zhi looked at the wet statue of Wang Rong on the wall. There he put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Now the silk I’m not afraid of paper books anymore.”
“Don’t be too proud.” The fourth cousin was actually pleased and admired Zhou Zhi’s progress, but he still said: “The real test will be when Xiu Mingjuan comes. Level.”
The repairs went quickly in the next few days, and the fastest repair was made by my fourth cousin. The three calligraphy inscriptions and postscripts were smaller in size and later in the era, so he was able to repair them with ease.
By the time Zhou Zhi finished repairing the eight paintings and silks, his fourth cousin had already filled in all the ink for the inscriptions and postscripts.
Li Zhaoqing's inscription and the postscripts by Cai Xiang, Chen Shidao and Xu Qin are now completely new and have fully met the standards of framing.
Although it was still in the restoration stage, Zhou Zhi could not help but send the digital photos to the capital, so that Mr. Wang and Mr. Qi could enjoy themselves first.
A picture must fully retain details. After compression, the size is 6M, which can roughly meet the clarity of the image on A3 format photo paper. The uplink rate of dial-up MODEN can theoretically reach up to 33.7K, but that is a theoretical value. In fact, in places like Jiachuan, it can only reach a terrible 2K.
In other words, it takes fifty minutes to send a picture, and it takes an entire night to send eight pictures of people and one text with three postscripts and four texts.
This is only possible because Zhou Zhi has developed two small software, automatic dialing and breakpoint resume transmission, which can realize uninterrupted transmission.
Fortunately, satellite transmission is much faster, thirty-two times that of current dial-up transmission. The reflection of production efficiency in information technology can be most obviously reflected through the signal transmission rate.
The reaction in the capital was shocked. The discovery of this painting also settled a huge controversy, that is, the original author of the brick paintings on the four tombs of the Southern Qi Dynasty in Jinling.
In the previous academic circles, there was some controversy as to who the author of the brick painting was. In addition to Lu theory, there are also Gu theory and Zhang theory, which believe that the authors may be Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Sengyao.
Especially Gu Kaizhi, Lu Tanwei and him can be said to be of the same strain. The painting styles of the two are very close to each other. In the case of insufficient handed down works, it can basically be considered that the public is right and the mother-in-law is right.
Now, with many pieces of evidence interlocking together, the volume "The Picture of the Seven Sages and Rong Qiqi in the Bamboo Forest" in Zhou Zhi's hand can be confirmed to be the authentic work of Li Zhaoqing's exploration of the land.
Before getting this argument, there is still one doubt that needs to be clarified, because Li Zhaoqing's inscription on it is "Lu Tanwei's Picture of Zhu Lin in the Bamboo Forest, Fengyi Lang Hanlin Waiting for Li Zhaoqing at the Imperial Painting Academy" , then based on the semantic meaning, it can be understood that it is Lu Tanwei’s original drawing, which was sent to the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty after Li Zhaoqing found it, or it can be understood that Li Zhaoqing was ordered to copy it, and this is the copy submitted after the copying was completed.
The "Five Stars and Twenty-eight Constellations" now hidden in the island country has similar disputes. However, Zhou Zhi solved this problem very well based on the age of silk production. According to the analysis and research of painted silk, this is a Song Dynasty copy.
But it's useless for people in the capital to be anxious. The other three pictures are equally important.
The second volume of Gu Kaizhi's "The Legend of Women and the Pictures of Benevolence and Wisdom" is very likely to be from the same painting as the first volume, just like the upper and lower volumes of "The Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", its discovery It can greatly complement the research on the original image, and its importance is self-evident.
In addition to the postscript of Mi Fu attached to the back of Cao Buxing's "Statue of Ruyilun Bodhisattva", it is also Cao Buxing's only work handed down from generation to generation. How can you say it is not important?
As for Zhang Sengyao's works, there are a lot of uproar around the world. However, except for the "Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Souls Divine Shape Picture Scroll" copied by Liang Lingzhan of Osaka, which is an authentic work handed down from generation to generation, the others, such as the "Five Stars and Twenty-eight Constellations", are collected in the United States. "Fish Basket Guanyin Picture", "Snowy Mountain Mangrove Picture" and "Purple Eggplant Picture" in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, even if there are inscriptions and postscripts by Zhao Mengfu and Wang Yangming, However, after careful analysis, it was found that they were all fake works
The "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture" in Zhou Zhi's hands also faced the same situation. It was very difficult to identify because there was lack of sufficient evidence. Zhou Zhi could only prove that it was It is a Song Dynasty copy, but who copied it and whether it is 100% the famous Zhang Sengyao's "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture" in "History of Painting" has yet to be determined.
However, there is a huge difference between this "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture" and all later "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture", that is, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not wear the twelve crowns on his head that were favored by later paintings of this kind, but a single crown. The crown reaches the sky.
This is also the only "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture" that Zhou Zhi knows of wearing a Tongtian crown. This alone greatly increases the authenticity of the painting.
