Chapter 700

Tang Yin became a famous painter and talented man of Ming Dynasty who is now well-known to women and children because of a novel about Tang Bohu's touch of autumn fragrance, and his calligraphy and painting works have always been valued by the world.

However, since Tang Bohu is so famous, there are a lot of fakes. In addition, most of the authentic works now go to public museums, so the authentic works that are popular in the society are very rare.

Therefore, we all attached great importance to the album in front of us and observed it carefully. It took us an hour to read it inside and outside.

When everyone came back, Chu Chen asked with a smile, "what do you think of this album

Several old people first looked at each other, Zhu Dafu first said: "Lao an, among us, you have the most thorough study of calligraphy and painting. How about you talk about your views first?"

"OK, I'll talk about my humble opinion first."

An Gongshi nodded with a smile and said, "I think this album should be authentic. Its creation time is probably later than the editions collected by Suzhou Museum, Liao Provincial Museum and the United States."

Nowadays, there are four editions of the book of fallen flower poems. Only the edition collected in the National Art Museum has a clear chronology, which was written the year before Tang Yin died. The other three editions have no chronology. But after research, in addition to the Liao edition, there are still some uncertainties, the other two editions should be completed in the years of He Shi.

"What do you say?" Qiao Qingtai interjected.

"Let me start with why I think this album is authentic."

An Gong Shi said, "first of all, we must all know the origin of the poem of falling flowers."

Everyone nodded to show that they knew.

Tang Yin loved peach blossom all his life. His villa was named "peach blossom nunnery", and he wrote a lot of peach blossom poems. His representative work is the book of fallen flowers.

Tang Yin's poems about falling flowers are written in harmony. The time of He Shi was in the spring of the 17th year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty, that is, when Tang Yin was about 34 years old. At that time, Shen Zhou wrote ten poems with seven rhythms of falling flowers. Besides Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing all wrote poems with harmony.

According to historical records, Tang Yin's 30 poems of he as seven rhythms and his later works, according to statistics, there are more than 100 poems of falling flowers. During that time, it was just the years after he fell into the scandal of imperial examination.

An Gongshi then said: "because of this, these peach blossom poems are full of Tang Yin's indignation about the feudal rulers' destruction of talents. And the depressed mood between the lines of this album was just in line with the situation of Tang Bohu at that time. This kind of artistic conception, I think imitators or counterfeiters are very difficult to reflect

At this point, he hesitated and found that everyone had no opinion either. Then he continued: "let's talk about Tang Yin's calligraphy style. Tang Yin's calligraphy is not as famous as his paintings and poems, but he is also very talented. His calligraphy style is closely related to Zhao Mengfu's shadow, so Wang Shizhen commented in the manuscript of Yanzhou mountain people: "the book of Bo Hu entered Wu Xingtang temple, but it is not easy to hear."

"In fact, Tang Yin's calligraphy, like his painting, pays attention to all kinds of works, and has many different features, but he has not lived forever and has not yet reached the state of" calligraphy is old at the time of communication ". According to the literature records and his works, he studied Zhao Mengfu, Li Yong, Yan Zhenqing and Mi Fu extensively, and showed different emphasis in different periods, thus forming a constantly changing stage appearance. "

Generally speaking, Tang Yin's calligraphy style can be divided into four periods.

The first period was before 30 years old. He lived in his hometown of Suzhou and had a good relationship with Wen Zhengming of the same age. They were very close to each other in calligraphy and painting. Tang Yin's painting of huangmaozhu in his twenties was very similar to Wen's fine brushwork in Lake, flat slope and trees. His calligraphy also started with Zhao Mengfu, and both of them were elegant and elegant. The first paragraph of Tang Yin's painting of Gao Ren's deep hidden figure is very beautiful The character is very similar to Wen Zhengming.

In the second period, when he was 30 to 36 years old, Tang Yin was deposed and his wife divorced. He had no choice but to make a living by poetry, calligraphy and painting. At that time, he pursued the people of Tang Dynasty in calligraphy and tried to standardize it. He used heavy, round and fleshy regular script written by Yan Zhenqing. His structure was rather long, strong and dense. His stippling was horizontal and thin, and vertical and thick. He absorbed Li Fa. His horizontal calligraphy ended like "silkworm head", and his strokes were close to "Yan head" "Tail" is very dynamic.

The representative work of the second period is his book of poems on falling flowers.

The third period is from 37 to 45 years old. At this time, Tang Yin was in his prime of life. At this time, he lived contentedly and reached the peak of his creation

In the fourth period, Tang Yin died between the ages of 46 and 54. He was in his later years. He fled from ningwang, Jiangxi Province, pretending to be crazy at the age of 45. He had a better understanding of the world. His mind was more depressed, his behavior was more decadent, and his calligraphy became more straightforward

After carefully talking about Tang Yin's calligraphy style, an Gongshi went on to say, "the calligraphy style of this book of fallen flower poems is characterized by its heavy brushwork, round and rich flesh, and rectangular structure. It can be clearly seen that it was written in the second issue of Tang Yin's calligraphy."

Hearing this, Meng Yi first had some different opinions. He said, "but I think the pen on this album has the flavor of elegant circulation. I think it should be regarded as the third issue, right?"An Gong Shi nodded: "you can say that the third phase is coming, but I think the style of the second phase should be stronger. It's better to count it as the second phase. As for the time when this album was written, it should be after he was 36 years old, when the style of writing was about to change. "

At this time, Ji Haoliang asked: "why do we say that the edition of this album should be finished later than the three editions collected by the museum?"

An Gong Shi said with a smile: "one reason is based on the changes in the style of the book just mentioned. The second reason is that this edition is thirty-six open edition, on which there are thirty-two poems about falling flowers. In addition to thirteen poems about falling flowers in the original collection, fourteen poems are supplements."

"The other five poems are the supplements to the two editions collected by Su Shi and the United States. From Tang Yin's habits, we can basically conclude that this edition should be later than those two editions. In the version of Liao Provincial Museum, I am inclined to Mr. Yang Renkai's judgment that it should be written in the year of He Shi... "

"I don't agree with that!"

Hearing this, Qiao Qingtai retorted: "I think the creation time of Liao edition needs to be discussed. If it is the same year as the poem, why is the style of this edition similar to that of the national Meiyu museum?"

"All right

Seeing that an Gongshi was ready to argue, Zhu Dafu waved his hand with a smile and said, "now we're here to verify the authenticity of Xiaochen's album. As for academic discussion, we'll talk about it later. However, I think that since these works have not been published for a long time, it's also self inflicted to determine who comes first and who comes second. "

"Lao Zhu is right in saying that!"

Meng Yi said with a smile: "after all, we don't study history. We need to understand why. Of course, it's better to study it. If you want to study it, Xiao Chu, I agree with you very much. "

Chuchen said with a smile, "I'd better wait until I retire."

At this time, an Gong Shi asked curiously, "Xiao Chu, how do you see this album?"

Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile, "it's just very common. If you turn a book over, you'll find it."

"So simple?" An Gong Shi was very surprised when he heard that, he said with envy: "then your luck is really great!"

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao Chu's luck has always been so good. Among his collections, Tang Bohu's book of fallen flower poems is not the best."

"Isn't that the best?" Meng Yixian and others all showed an unbelievable look when they heard that Zhu Dafu was exaggerating.

Zhu Dafu smile, and did not refute, said: "after you see Xiaochen's collection, you know what I said is right."

After listening to Zhu Dafu's words, an Gongshi was a little curious. He said, "Xiao Chu, if it's convenient, can you tell us which famous artist's works you got recently, and let us have an eye opening?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "what's inconvenient about this? If it's recent, I received a regular script Luo Shen Fu written by Zhao Mengfu when I went to Wucheng a few days ago."

"What? "Luo Shen Fu" by Zhao Mengfu Before other people could react, Zhu Dafu stood up and yelled.

Others also showed a gaping look at this time. You know, it's Zhao Mengfu's most famous Luo Shen Fu, let alone Luo Shen Fu. Even if it's a small work of Zhao Mengfu, it's a great thing for them.

Seeing that Chu Chen nodded again, Zhu Dafu said with a smile, "I said that you got such a good thing. Why don't you tell me? I'll appreciate it first."

Chuchen said with a smile, "I didn't come to you for a few days. Besides, my father took luoshenfu to the Party of the Association last week. If you had gone, you would have seen it already."

Zhu Dafu shook his head regretfully: "ah! What a pity! If I had known that, I would have been a day late! When I get back, I must go to Lao Wu and enjoy it. "

Meng Yi turned his eyes and said with a smile, "Lao Zhu, I haven't been to you for a long time. When you leave, let's go to the capital together. What do you think?"

"Go with me! Go with me Qiao Qingtai and an Gongshi said with one voice. Meng Jiliang also wants to meet other people besides him.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said with a smile: "you are welcome to go, but I will go to Wucheng after I return to Beijing, and then to Myanmar. I don't think I have time to entertain you. I'd like to invite you Haihan!"
