"Uh..." Zhou Zhi didn't expect Mai Xiaomiao to interpret it this way, and couldn't help but be stunned. He wanted to explain but felt that he was too philistine and might affect his image.
Yes, accepting gifts without giving them back is a philistine, including accepting calligraphy and paintings! Stealing a book is stealing!
Forget it, no more explanation.
Seeing Zhou Zhi, Mr. Wang couldn't help but smile and said: "Elbow, I just don't understand. You have already gone to Daliang Mountain, how can you still find good treasures? Or Ming paintings?! Ouch! Who is the little girl? ”
"This is Mai Xiaomiao, the head of our Neural Network System Laboratory of Clover Group. This time we came to the ministry to report on the progress of our laboratory's projects. We just happened to find the statue of Mrs. Shexiang in Bimo Cave, so we came together Brought here.”
"How old is Xiaomiao? You are so amazing at such a young age. Come in, come in." Mr. Yuan also came out, holding a brush in his hand: "Is it a coincidence? I am painting Taoyao."< br>
The peach blossoms shine brightly, and the son returns home, which is suitable for his family. This is to make fun of Zhou Zhi and take the little girl home.
"Xiaomiao grew up in the United States. She can't understand what you are talking about, Mr. Yuan." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Both the two elders are quite healthy. Xiaomiao, this is Mr. Wang, and this is Mr. Wang. The old man’s wife, Mr. Yuan, is a famous calligrapher, painter, scholar, and collector in my country.”
“Little girl. Don't listen to the nonsense." Mr. Wang waved his hand: "I have been an old loser who has been obsessed with things since I was a child."
"This man is extraordinary, a real calligrapher." Mr. Wang said. Mr. Qi walked out of the door and waved his hand: "I am the target of discrimination in front of him."
"This is Mr. Qi, the president of the Chinese Calligraphers Association. He is also a scholar and connoisseur." Zhou Zhi introduced.
“Come in quickly, come in quickly.” Mr. Yuan said: “It’s very cold in the capital in winter, but it’s warm and spacious here, so we moved here, and we all talked and laughed together. , exchange ideas, not lonely anymore.”
“Hello, Grandpa Wang, Hello, Grandpa Yuan, Hello, Grandpa Qi.” Mai Xiaomiao greeted the elderly with a smile.
Mr. Wang gave Zhou Zhi a thumbs-up in front of Mai Xiaomiao: "This place was bought by Xiuzi, and now it has become his private collection. We are all covetous of the displays here. So we came here, just for everyone. You can appreciate good things every day.”
< br>"The collection here is the hard work of several elderly people who have guarded it all their lives." Zhou Zhi quickly explained to Mai Xiaomiao: "They liked it, and now it is officially handed over to me for preservation. Grandpa Wang is being modest when he says this. We can You can’t think so.”
Mr. Yuan winked at Mr. Wang, which meant that this girl was different, and "we" were in trouble.
"Have you eaten?" Mr. Wang asked.
“Not yet.” Zhou Zhi pretended to be pitiful and said: “I asked the experts over there in Fengtai... They left food, but we still ran away!”
“Then I'll make fried noodles for you!" Mr. Wang said.
“Ouch! That’s great!” Zhou Zhi said with a smile: “We are in Sichuan, and we really can’t get this bite!”
When he walked into the interior of Demian Hall, Mai Xiaomiao was immediately stunned by the dazzling displays here.
Good things speak for themselves, no need to say more at all, the exquisite porcelain and bronzes in the special glass cabinets embedded in the wall, as well as various furniture on display, hanging guqins, copper stoves, The pen holder on the table, the intricately inlaid tables of precious wood, the huanghuali and mother-of-pearl screens, etc., all demonstrate the timelessness and depth of this place.
This was still the case when Mai Xiaomiao couldn't understand the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. She felt amazing just by looking at the porcelain plate paintings of the Eight Friends of Zhushan on the wall. The tabletop of the large red sandalwood painting table is composed of boxwood and red sandalwood inlaid with a swastika pattern. Not only is the splicing complicated, but the surrounding legs are also exquisitely carved. This is a masterpiece completed by the Qianlong Dynasty's manufacturing office regardless of the cost. So far the only one in the world.
This was also the favorite thing of Emperor Qianlong. This painting can be seen in many palace paintings with Qianlong as the protagonist, and Qianlong was also criticized for being too extravagant. An internal decree was issued so that the Manufacturing Office would not do such things again in the future, so although he was an orphan, his identity could be proven.
This is one of several important pieces of Ming and Qing furniture that the old man transferred to Zhou Zhi. It is also the pinnacle of palace furniture in the mid-Qing Dynasty. It is inescapable in the history of Chinese Ming and Qing furniture, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure.
Zhou Zhi took out the painting bag from the tube, placed it on the painting table and unfolded it gently.
Qi Lao and Yuan Lao both came to the painting table and looked at it carefully.
To use the terminology in the industry, this thing is called a "big door". From the perspective of identification, it is much easier to identify than the paintings of the Six Dynasties and Four Dynasties that Zhou Zhi obtained.
Until now, the cultural preservation community has been fiercely discussing the authenticity of the "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture". Even Zhou Zhi cited two evidences on the painting of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's crown and arms to prove that the regulation of this painting is far away. As early as the Song Dynasty, famous artists of the Song Dynasty copied previous paintings, but everyone is still arguing about whether they were copied from Zhang Sengyao's original paintings.
The current conclusion is still: the original painting of "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture" belongs to the same era as Zhang Sengyao. According to the exquisite brushwork of the painter, he should be a palace painter of the Song Dynasty, and such a painter carefully copied it, There is no way it is not a painting by a famous artist from the previous dynasty. In addition to the title and several unique characteristics of the painting, this painting should be the one discovered so far, and is most likely an original work written by Zhang Sengyao himself.
Another point is that even if the original work was not written by Zhang Sengyao himself, his painting level has reached the level of everyone in the Six Dynasties.
If we want to be rigorous, the conclusion can only be this.
There is no such problem with this painting now. The original packaging has not been changed since the painting was mounted. Whether it is the scroll, the painting bag, or the silk, damask, and brocade used for mounting, they are all from the early Ming Dynasty. regulations and materials.

In some respects, this painting is even more important than the "Ming Dynasty Emperors Pictures" currently collected in the Palace Museum, because that set of paintings was re-framed in the Qing Dynasty, resulting in a lot of "original information" of loss.
“How is this painting so well preserved?” Mr. Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.
"Yes, although there are serious signs of use, it has been kept intact to this day. This should be the most original Ming Dynasty palace painting currently preserved."
Zhou Zhi also nodded silently in approval, Only Mai Xiaomiao was confused. How could such a painting, which was so smoky and black except for the top, become "well-preserved"?
“I guess it’s most likely because the protagonist of the painting is a woman.” Zhou Zhi said: “After this painting was brought back to Shuishi Xuanweisi by Mrs. Shexiang, it is estimated that it has been preserved for a long time. It is kept properly and never shown to others.”
In ancient times, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the hiding of the image of female family members reached its peak, especially for a great woman with a respected status like Mrs. Shexiang.
Although Mrs. Shexiang was originally from a minority group, she sent her son An to the capital to study with famous teachers since he was a child, and even changed his name to a Han name. Therefore, it was natural for him to learn Han customs.
“However, in the history of fourteen to five hundred years, the An family has experienced many civil strife, rebellions, and Wu Sangui’s purge. Even the ancestral temple was burned down several times. This painting, together with two It is a blessing to have more than a thousand volumes of Yi classics collected by Mr. Ma.”
“Yes,” Mr. Yuan nodded. It is also possible that the local Bimo hid this painting in the Niangniang Temple a long time ago. There are very few people who know that place. The ethnic minority compatriots must not know the value of this painting in the Han area and only regard it as an ancestor. Stand up with only admiration, not covetousness." (End of Chapter)
