Chapter 1036

After a discussion, they all agreed with what Wang Ruyang said, so Tian Xingwei quickly took out a brocade box, opened it, put the contents of the box in front of Chu Chen, and said with a smile, "well, I'll come first, you should have no opinion?"

"Mr. Tian, why did you work so hard just now! If it had been several times before, I would not have any opinions, but today, I came earlier than you, and I would not have agreed so easily! "

"Lao Tian, you should be a Ding kiln porcelain. How can such a good thing be put in the first place? It has to be the final product..."

"That is, you see, I only have a jade pendant with me except for one painting. You can carry forward your style and let me chant..."

Seeing Tian Xingwei's sudden action, many people in the room began to laugh. However, Tian Xingwei quickly bowed to everyone with a smile on his face and said a lot of good words, so everyone let him go.

When Chu Chen was about to pick up Tian Xingwei's things for appreciation, he saw an old man in his fifties come in. He was wiping his sweat and apologizing to everyone, saying that he was late for something and was sorry. This man is Lu chuanxiong, an expert in calligraphy and painting, a disciple of the old district.

Wang Ruyang hastily said that it was all their temporary change of party time, and it should be him who said he was sorry.

After a few more greetings, Chu Chen took the object to his hand and observed it. However, as soon as he checked the quality of things, he let out a faint cry.

This is a white glazed spring vase with simple and dignified shape, vivid and elegant outline, gentle and quiet.

This device is white as jade and thin. The glaze is glossy, greasy and bright. The overall design of the bottle is a tangled peony pattern, which adopts the artistic expression of flower drawing. The carving is meticulous, and the flower pattern of the tangled peony is quite exquisite, and the lines are vivid and natural. It should be a typical Ding kiln process.

Seeing the surprised expression on chuchen's face, everyone was curious to surround him. It turned out that chuchen was surprised because the bottom was actually engraved with "made by Zhou danquan" Yin engraved regular script.

"Who is Zhou danquan?" Some of the people present were not very familiar with porcelain, while others, though they usually bought it, knew that the official kilns of the song, yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties had such doubts for a while.

At this time, Tian Xingwei explained to everyone: "Zhou danquan was a master of imitating Ding kiln porcelain in the porcelain capital of Longqing and Wanli of Ming Dynasty. At that time, his imitation porcelain was often so fake as to confuse the real. Therefore, many merchants rushed to buy it, and even thousands of gold competed for the market. Therefore, it is called Zhou kiln

Immediately someone said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, I think what you said is a bit too exaggerated. No matter how well he does, isn't it an imitation? No matter how it is, it can't be compared with the authentic products, can it

"You're wrong about that."

Tian Xingwei said: "although Zhou danquan does make imitations, he imitates them well and can be recognized by the society. Moreover, although his imitations are genuine enough, he does not pretend to be genuine by using them. He speaks the truth and speaks the credibility. Because a highly imitated expert like him, the imitations he imitates are also exquisite collections."

"Like Zhang Daqian, we all know that his imitation of Shi Tao's works is not much cheaper than the real one, no matter how cheap it is?"

The man said: "Mr. Tian, what you said is really reasonable, but is Zhou danquan really as good as you introduced? If he is really like what you say, why don't many people have heard of him, and I haven't heard of where his porcelain is hidden? "

Tian Xingwei laughed and said, "let's talk about Zhou danquan's imitation level first, which is recorded in Shi Zhai Bi Tan..."

One day, Zhou danquan went to visit his friend Tang Hezheng. He said to Tang, I heard that you have an ancient Ding Ding, can you show me? Tang Hezheng took it to him. He measured it with his fingers while looking at it. He copied the pattern of the tripod and hid it. Then he returned the tripod to Tang Taichang and separated it.

After leaving, he went to visit Tang Hezheng half a year later in the porcelain capital, and said to him, "I've got one of your baiding cauldrons."

Tang felt as like as two peas. Zhou Danquan compared his own possession with the same thing. He also put Zhou danquan's cauldron into the vessel he used to fix it. It seemed to contain a crack.

Strange, Tang Hezheng to danquan Ding from where, Zhou danquan told him: "to tell you the truth, this tripod is to imitate your only do."

Tang Hezheng was very impressed, so he bought forty gold coins and put them up for a copy. Later, when a man named Du Jiu heard about it, he dreamed of the cauldron and finally got Zhou danquan's antique cauldron from Tang Hezheng's grandson.

At the end of the story, Tian Xingwei said with some pity: "however, Zhou danquan's imitation porcelain is now only one in the Palace Museum of Baodao. Because of his few works, many people have never heard of him. What's more, Zhou danquan is a master of imitating ancient porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. Lao Liang, you only do painting and calligraphy, and you don't know it's normal. It's just like you go to the road and ask the passer-by who Xu daoning is, and you don't want to know many of them, do you"It's the same here." Everyone agrees with Tian Xingwei's words.

At this time, Tian Xingwei said to Chu Chen, "Mr. Chu, it's because Zhou danquan's works are rare that I want you to help me check it out and see if it's right."

Chu Chen said: "Mr. Tian, it's really hard for me to say."

"What's the matter?" Tian Xingwei asked.

Chu Chen explained: "it's very simple. I haven't seen Zhou danquan's works before. Without comparison, it's hard for me to be sure. Now, I can only judge the authenticity of Zhou danquan by the introduction to him in some ancient books and the characteristics of the object. I hope you can forgive me for that. "

Tian Xingwei quickly waved his hand: "let's identify antiques. There will always be some objective factors. It's not your responsibility."

Chuchen chuckled: "OK, let me talk about my opinion..."

To say, Zhou danquan's antique level is really extraordinary. If this jade pot spring bottle imitates Ding kiln, if it doesn't have Zhou danquan's style knowledge at the bottom, let alone ordinary people, even experts may not know its authenticity.

It is no wonder that the ancients said that Zhou danquan's imitation of the Song Dynasty Ding kiln porcelain is not only vivid, but also has no difference in quality and texture with Ding kiln products. He also often carries his imitation products to the Bogu experts for identification, even those experts who are good at distinguishing the true from the false.

Of course, the reason why the ancients said that is because their observation tools are not as good as the modern ones. Just like this jade pot spring vase, under the high magnification, they can still find a slight difference from the real one.

After introducing the characteristics of this jade pot spring vase, Chu Chen said: "therefore, I think this utensil should be genuine. As for its value, it's hard to say. However, in terms of its rarity, I don't think its value will be lower than that of the genuine one."

"Congratulations, Mr. Tian!"

"Lao Tian, do you have any idea to do it? You can choose money or things... "

We all agreed with Chu Chen's conclusion.

So, for a moment, everyone congratulated Tian Xingwei one after another, and some people even began to come up with the idea of this jade pot spring bottle. However, as far as Tian Xingwei is concerned, he certainly wants to collect such rare artifacts himself. As for money, it is no longer the most important thing for him now.

When Chu Chen explained to you, several other participants were also present.

It was almost time to meet the people, and the time was almost at the appointed time. Wang Ruyang asked Lu Chuanxiong to start the identification, and everyone agreed.

In this way, Chu Chen and Lu Chuanxiong appraised, while the participants expressed their opinions in good order, and then some people expressed different opinions, which made the whole scene lively and the purpose of the exchange meeting. The atmosphere was quite good.

In this kind of good atmosphere, time passed quickly, soon, an hour passed.

At this time, Chu Chen was preparing to identify a porcelain panel hanging screen made by Wang Dafan, a master of Chinese ceramic art, when he heard Lu Chuanxiong calling him to go.

"Miss Chu, would you please come and have a look at this work of Huang Xun?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned in the past, and Lu Chuanxiong now identified a picture of Eagle capture.

Chu Chen went over and asked, "what's wrong with this painting, old Lu?"

Lu Chuanxiong said: "you have a look first, so as not to be preconceived."

"All right." Chu Chen nodded, changed a pair of gloves, picked up the tool and looked at it.

This picture is a fine brushwork painting with colored silk. It depicts the scene of the eagle fighting the rabbit. The painting is easy to draw, and is good at using colors. It shows the eagle's feathers in all kinds of changes, which adds some tension to the picture.

Moreover, the author's outline is precise, the feathers are smooth, and the eagle's shape is vivid and natural. The eagle's eyes, especially their hair, show a kind of mighty spirit. And the cunning rabbit also seems to fly, and the side eyes are round, the panic is on the paper, and the fierce eagle is unstoppable.

In addition, the title of "the picture of the eagle captured by Huang Yao in Shu county" is still left in this picture, and there are several collection seals of figures in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Huang Xun was a court painter of the Xishu Painting Academy in the Five Dynasties. Later, he entered the Song Dynasty and became the crown prince Zuo zanshan. In his early years, he got his name by painting. He was good at flowers and birds. His teachers were Diao Guangyin and Teng Changyou. He also worked on figures, landscapes and ink bamboo. Li Sheng, a scholar of mountains and rivers, is the grandson of the study of dragon and water. Xue Ji, a master of crane, took the best of all the schools and formed his own school.

He painted birds with correct shape, both flesh and bone, plump image, rich color, fine hook, almost no handwriting, like light color dye. This kind of drawing method is generally called "outline method". His sons Ju Bao, Ju CAI and Ju Shi all inherited this painting method and formed the so-called "yellow body" in flower and bird paintings.

Like the painting in front of me, the author's strokes are precise and meticulous, and the atmosphere created is excellent. The lines are fine and gentle, and the color rendering is emphasized. It not only depicts the vivid shape, but also depicts the inner vitality of the eagle and the frightened rabbit. It can be described as "full of backbone". Judging from these characteristics, it really conforms to Huang's painting style.

After a long time, Chu Chen raised his head and said, "old Lu, I see what you mean...""What is it?" Before Chu Chen finished speaking, Tian Xingwei interrupted him and asked nervously, who told him that he had paid a lot for the painting?

"I feel less rich." Chuchen returned directly.

"Yes

Lu Chuanxiong agreed with Chu Chen's words and said: "Huang Xun was highly valued by the rulers at that time from his youth to his old age. He has been working in the painting academy for a long time, and it is convenient for him to go in and out of the palace. What he sees are rare birds, auspicious animals, famous flowers, rare stones and so on. "

"In addition, most of his works were made according to the emperor's will. Therefore, no matter from the theme of the works or the way of expression, they are all influenced by the luxurious life of the court aristocrats, reflecting the aesthetic views and requirements of the ruling class. Therefore, Huang's painting style has always been characterized by richness and craftsmanship. This is what the so-called "Huang family is rich and noble."

At this point, he pointed to the painting and said, "well, this painting is so skillful that it has a certain degree of performance if it is rich. But I feel that it is still a little less than Huang."

At this time, Wang Ruyang expressed his opinion: "is it possible that when he painted this work, Huang was still young and not greatly influenced by the court?"

"It's impossible."

Chu Chen shook his head and saw that everyone looked at him. He then explained, "the reason why I say this is because the" sketching method "used in this work is very sophisticated. It's certainly not the level that Huang can achieve when he was young. From this point of view, we can prove that this is not Huang's true work."

"Ah

Hearing this, Tian Xingwei sighed and said with a bitter face: "originally I wanted to be able to pick up a small leak, but I didn't expect that I was picked up by others in the end!"

Wang Ruyang patted Tian Xingwei on the shoulder and said, "Lao Tian, it's too normal to make eye contact. There's no need to be too tangled. However, there is one thing I have to say to you. So far, there are only two of Huang's works. You should be careful when you buy them. "

Huang's works are numerous, of which 349 are recorded in Xuanhe Huapu alone. But up to now, only two works are more reliable. One is Huang's painting of rare birds from life, and the other is the painting of bamboo and crane, which has been spread abroad.

In addition, Huang Jucai's son Huang Jucai's "the painting of partridge and sparrow in the mountain" has only three authentic works of the "yellow school". From this, we can see the value of the work. As for the possibility of picking up the leak on it, it must be extremely rare.

Tian Xingwei gave a wry smile: "it's not greed."

In fact, it would be nothing if he hit the eye twice at other times, but now it's a bit humiliating, especially so far, he is the only one who has problems with what we have brought, which makes him even more depressed.

"Mr. Tian, you don't have to be so depressed. Although this work is not authentic, it is also commendable."

At this time, Lu Chuanxiong said: "in addition, judging from my experience, I think this should also be regarded as a famous imitation."

"Who? Is it Zhang Daqian? " Tian Xingwei asked.

"I said, Mr. Tian, there is something wrong with your attitude."

"Yes, we've known each other for quite a long time. Who doesn't know your good face, Lao Tian? Aren't you the first one to come up with something problematic? What's the big deal? Which one of you hasn't been so humiliated? It's not right that they are all friends and mind such things! "

"That is, since we are friends, there is no need to..."

For a time, many people said that Tian Xingwei was too similar, and advised him to relax his mind and not care about the gain and loss of one time. Tian Xingwei also immediately reflected on his own faults, reviewed his faults to everyone, and his mood became better.

Later, Lu Chuanxiong said with a smile: "at the meeting of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Zhang Daqian was not the only one who imitated fine brushwork, but also a painter who imitated fine brushwork."

At this time, Tian Xingwei clapped his hands: "Hi! Forget Liu Bonian! "

Liu Bonian is a fellow of Zhang Daqian's. He has excellent skills in copying and copying ancient calligraphy and paintings. In his early years, he used to worship the painter Wang Zi as a teacher, studying Wu Changshuo's freehand brushwork flowers, and then learning the essence of song and Yuan paintings extensively, forming his own style. His painting road is very wide, from the fine brushwork of the Song Dynasty to the landscape of huaxinluo in the Qing Dynasty.

There are several main characteristics of Liu Bonian's forgery of ancient paintings. First, although he was worshipped by his master, his way of painting is closer to that of Zhang Daqian. He has a thorough understanding of the works of the Song Dynasty, and has a great degree of correspondence in terms of lines and colors.

Second, he is very good at making old things. He can be said to be perfect in both wrapping pulp on paper and "old style" of paper and silk.

Finally, the objects he imitates are mostly flowers, birds and characters who choose fine brushwork or small freehand brushwork, and there are no works with big freehand brushwork style.

The reason is very simple. Fine brushwork or small freehand brushwork takes a long time to draw, and the process is complex, which can not be completed overnight. If the imitator has a high level and stable mind, it is easier to imitate the original. This is the main reason why his antique works can make many big connoisseurs "stray" and be collected by major museums.Here's a story. During the period of the Republic of China, Liu Bonian invented a painting of mandarin fish in pear blossom, which was named the work of Li Yanzhi, a painter of the Song Dynasty. This work is vivid and natural, and does not copy the stiff and cramped feeling of the ancients.

After completion, the painting was quietly taken to the capital, and then sold to the Shanghai Museum by the painter Lu Liting. The Shanghai Museum collected it as a boutique in the painting garden.

When Liu Bonian saw the picture album, he felt that the situation was serious, so he took the initiative to write a letter to the relevant department, explaining the situation of his making the fake picture. Only then did the truth come to light. From this, we can see the high level of his imitation.
