Chapter 1019

Thinking of this, Chu Chen secretly shook his head. The man's appearance is a typical example of a layman's rush to invest in and collect antiques, but he finally bumped into his head full of bags. This kind of person you want to say is pitiful, causes this kind of result to also be responsible for oneself, therefore said, the pitiful person must have the hateful place this sentence is very reasonable.

Chu Chen didn't have time to spend with the man, so he reminded the man who was still in a daze and said he wanted to identify another thing.

The man scratched his forehead and opened his mouth to say something. However, he swallowed the words again. Then he said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Chu, look at this calligraphy work. It's written by Shi Tao."

"Shi Tao?"

When Chu Chen heard the words, he immediately straightened his face. Shi Tao was a famous monk in the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Let alone anything else, his position in the history of calligraphy and painting is beyond doubt. At the auction, Shi Tao's works have been sought after by the vast number of collectors, and the transaction price has repeatedly reached new highs.

Of course, at the auction, Shi Tao's paintings are the main ones with high transaction prices, but this does not mean that Shi Tao's calligraphy works are not precious. In 1996, his fan works sold for more than 50000 yuan, which is not the treatment that ordinary calligraphers can enjoy.

Seeing Chu Chen's solemn look, the man was also happy, but when he thought of his own things, he was a little nervous and said, "even a folding fan, I don't know how much it will cost."

"A good fan is worth a lot of money, but you need to see it before you know what it is."

Chu Chen put on his gloves and replied, but he felt a little strange. Is the source of this work different from that of the Buddha? Or did this person buy things without considering their value?

Chu Chen shook his head, no longer thinking, carefully took out the fan from the brocade box, and then carefully observed it.

Among the numerous calligraphers in the past dynasties, the monk calligrapher also occupies a place. Among them, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were the most developed period of Buddhism in China, and also the most developed period of monk calligraphy. There were many monks and calligraphers. According to Tao Jiucheng's book history, there were 28 outstanding calligraphy monks in the Tang Dynasty alone.

Compared with the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the outstanding calligraphers in song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are rare, and their calligraphy achievements are relatively dim, which is related to the decline of Zen after Song Dynasty.

During this period, most monks were not good Buddhists, but for other reasons, such as avoiding chaos and seeking seclusion, poverty and food. It can be imagined that under such a monk motivation, the number of monks who are really interested in calligraphy will naturally decrease.

However, there were a few monks who had more attainments in calligraphy during this period, among whom monk Shi Tao and Badashan people were the most outstanding.

Shitao monk, also known as balsam pear monk, is the descendant of King Jingjiang of Ming Dynasty and the son of Zhu HENGJIA, the emperor of Yuan Dynasty of Southern Ming Dynasty. When he was a child, he became a monk and traveled around for half of his life to sell paintings.

Shi Tao's calligraphy contains the meaning of Li in the real and running script, and has the style of Six Dynasties' Sutra writing, which is vigorous and elegant. At the same time, his calligraphy, like his paintings, is full of mountain and wild flavor, which reflects that monk Shi Tao's landscape aura played a decisive role in the formation of his aesthetic consciousness in his wandering life.

Because of this, Shi Tao's calligraphy is changeable. Most intelligent people can turn into their own after seeing it, which is different from those who die every day. This fan is a work of running script. Its strokes are round and thick with ups and downs. It is flexible and lively after learning from the clouds, and has a lot of personality.

At first, Chu Chen felt that the painting should be authentic. However, with the deepening of observation, he felt that the artistic conception of calligraphy was not right, which made him frown.

Seeing this, the man was in a hurry and asked, "teacher Chu, is there something wrong with this?"

"No way!" Chu Chen slowly shook his head. However, he immediately raised his head and saw that the man's expression began to become stiff. He said, "Mr. Gan, don't worry. I mean, I have some doubts about this work. I can't judge the authenticity of this work for the time being."

The man's look eased a little, he asked some doubts: "teacher Chu, can't you see the authenticity of things?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "experts can't be a know it all or a jack of all trades. After all, people's energy is limited. They can't do everything in so many fields of antiques."

Antiques experts generally need to have unique opinions and research in a field, a department and a kind of things, as long as they can quickly and accurately distinguish the old from the new, identify the true and the false, and screen the fake and the fake when identifying antiques.

As for saying that an expert is a master's key or a master's key, it is obviously impossible, even if Zhuge Liang is reborn.

Of course, for Chu Chen, who has a power, it's very easy to prove whether it's true or not. But for Chu Chen, if he uses the power whenever he encounters difficulties, he will definitely rely on it in the long run. Therefore, now he still wants to observe carefully and think of other ways when he really can't judge.

The man knows that Chu Chen's words are reasonable, but this matter can't be consumed like this. Just as he was about to ask Chu Chen how to deal with it, he saw Wu Shu and Zhu Dafu come in together."Xiao Chen, no matter how busy you are." Zhu Dafu said hello to Chu Chen with a smile.

Chu Chen didn't care to exchange greetings. After saying hello, he told them about it. When the two elders heard about it, they were all interested in it. They quickly put on their gloves, took out a magnifying glass and identified it carefully.

After a long time, the two elders read all the things, and then the three went to one side to discuss.

Uncle Wu frowned and said in a low voice, "Xiao Chen, are you wrong? I think this fan should be OK. The handwriting and Shi Tao's style are right. I think it should be authentic."

Zhu Dafu shook his head and objected: "Lao Wu, I have the same opinion as Xiao Chen. There is something wrong with this fan. Specifically, I feel that the spirit of this word is a little scattered and the Qi is a little weak. From the Lingyin, the blind Master is his old age's name. At this time, his character is very old and spicy. If it is an authentic work, these two points should not appear at all."

Chu Chen also nodded and said, "I also think there is a problem in this respect. My master also has a calligraphy work of Shi Tao in his later years. Although the style is different, the spirit and spirit of the characters can't be changed."

When he heard all of them say that, he was hesitant. Of course, this was mainly because he was mainly engaged in porcelain. Although he was involved in calligraphy and painting, he was not very proficient. Otherwise, he would argue for it.

"Well, I'm not very proficient in calligraphy, but how do you tell the master about this result?"

Chu Chen and Zhu Dafu looked at each other, but they were both helpless. In fact, this is a common thing in the identification of calligraphy and painting works. If there is a big difference between the original works and the original works, or if the characteristics are more obvious, it's OK to judge. But how can you tell others about the more subjective things such as spirit and harmony?

Can I say that I think there is something wrong with the harmony of this work, so I judge it as a fake? It's strange not to spit on your face when you are angry.

Now, the best way to understand its authenticity is to invite several experts for consultation. But although Chu Chen could do it, the owner of the thing was not related to him. Why did he bother so much?

"Xiao Chen, how are you going to explain to him?" Asked Uncle Wu.

"To be honest, let him decide what to do." Chuchen laughs. He plans to use his powers for a while to satisfy his curiosity. Of course, he can't tell you the result.

Two old nodded, although they also want to break the casserole to ask in the end, but as Chu Chen thought, for a stranger, there is no need to spend so much trouble. In addition, among antiques, there are not many things that can't be sure whether they are true or false, but there are also many. If we have to work hard to figure out everything, we can't be exhausted.

Just as everyone was about to turn around, Zhu Dafu asked, "by the way, have you ever thought about it? If it's not the original, who will imitate it?"

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "I think Zhang Daqian is the most likely. You know, he imitated Shi Tao, but he even cheated Huang Binhong." As like as two peas in the past,

has said that Zhang Daqian, a master of calligraphy and painting, is not only good at painting himself but also a master of the first class. He was first famous. People were surprised not how his paintings were. But his works of copying Shi Tao were very vivid and almost identical with the authentic ones. This similarity is shown in the charm, writing, composition and so on, just like the resurrection of Shi Tao.

Shi Tao, who was imitated by Zhang Daqian, has made many collectors, calligraphers and painters lose sight of him, and has been deceived. Among them, the story of cheating Huang Binhong is even more popular.

It is said that Huang Binhong has a painting of Shi Tao. Zhang Daqian wants to borrow it and copy it carefully, but Huang Binhong refuses. Zhang Daqian was a little unconvinced. He thought that if you didn't want to lend it to me, I could still imitate Shi Tao's painting. So he copied a scroll of Shi Tao and put it in his teacher Zeng Xi's hand.

As we all know, Zeng Xi, Zhang Daqian's teacher, and Huang Binhong are old friends of the same generation. So not long after Huang Binhong went to Zeng Xi's house, he saw the painting. He thought it was the real work of Shi Tao. He couldn't put it down and decided to buy it. Zeng Xi asked Huang Binhong to discuss the price with Zhang Daqian.

When Zhang Daqian saw that Huang Binhong wanted to collect his imitation of Shi Tao, he was very proud, but he didn't ask for money. Instead, he said to Huang Binhong, "let's exchange this painting for Shi Tao you borrowed last time. Huang Binhong immediately agreed. In this way, Zhang Daqian exchanged his imitation of Shi Tao for a real work of Shi Tao.".

Along the way, Zhang Daqian collected a number of Shi Tao's paintings and calligraphy. He once told his friends that "the collection of Shi Tao's authentic works is about 500 at most.". I don't know how many examples of Zhang Daqian trading fake for real.

Chu Chen doesn't know whether the story is true or false, because his predecessor has passed away, so he can't speculate. However, if the story is true, it will affect his impression of Zhang Daqian.
