Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 439 Stunning the audience
But amidst the corpses strewn across the field, there was another old man in white walking among them, his back was bleak but unusually firm.

For a moment, the people present were stunned, and all the audience was silent and all their attention was locked on this painting.

At this moment, there is only one doubt in everyone's mind, what kind of person can paint such suffering, and what the painter has experienced.

"This painting is indeed made in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty." At this moment, Zhao Gang's sudden words pulled everyone's thoughts away from the painting.

Zhao Gang also agreed that this painting was painted in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he agreed with everyone's opinion. Everyone also looked at Zhao Gang, wanting to see what Zhao Gang had to say and how he discovered the secret of this painting.

"However, this painting is a painting made by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for Hua Tuo."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Does this have something to do with the miracle doctor Hua Tuo?

Zhao Gang glanced at the people who were full of doubts, and then said solemnly: "A plague broke out in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also the most serious plague in history. The plague was mainly concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River, and death The number of people was as high as more than 2000 million. At that time, corpses were everywhere, the air was filled with the smell of death, and the great plague almost caused the Han Dynasty to be completely destroyed."

Zhao Gang's words pulled everyone's thoughts into that secret.They are no strangers to this plague, after all, it is the biggest plague in history.

"At that time, when everyone thought they were about to be severely poisoned by the plague and die at that time, the emergence of the miracle doctor Sai single-handedly turned the tide and brought the entire Eastern Han Dynasty back from the brink of death. Therefore, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wanted to express his gratitude to Hua Tuo not only named him a miracle doctor, but also hired someone to paint this painting. However, when the painting was completed, Hua Tuo was too panicked when he saw the painting, fearing that it would leave a shadow on the world, so he asked the painter to make a special painting for the period. This is why we saw that there were only these sixteen words on the painting at the beginning, but the content of the painting was not visible."

After Zhao Gang explained it, everyone suddenly realized that who is the redeemer of the suffering in the world.Ambush from all sides, break out of the cocoon!With Zhao Gang's analysis, they finally understood the meaning of these sixteen words.

At this time, Yun Xiangtian's butler came over and nodded politely at Zhao Gang and asked with a smile, "Little friend? Then how did you know that you need to use this wine to make this painting show its true colors?"

Although it was the housekeeper who was asking, it brought out the doubts that Yun Xiangtian had had in his heart for many years. You must know that this painting has been studied for countless years since he got it, but nothing else has been discovered.

He once boldly poured water on it, but there was no reaction at all.

Zhao Gang shook his head with a chuckle, and said to the housekeeper, "Old man, in fact, it doesn't have to be wine, it can still be exposed by roasting it with fire, but the risk factor is too high! And maybe you can only watch it once."

"The painting was treated specially back then, and the true face of the painting would only be revealed when it was exposed to high temperatures, and the degree of the spirits was just right, so all of this was naturally revealed."

They are also masters of antiques, how can they not be amazed when they can see such a wonderful thing here today.

All the people applauded and applauded Zhao Gang, and even Yun Xiangtian had an unprecedented smile on his face.

He also tried water before, but he didn’t see any abnormality. Later, he also thought about roasting with fire, but the risk was too great. Just as Zhao Gang said, if he didn’t pay attention, the painting would be destroyed. In the end, he gave up. I thought of that idea, but I never thought that Zhao Gang could think of using wine instead!

Needless to say, this round, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao Gang is stabilizing Situ Nan, and Situ Nan is staring at Zhao Gang with a gloomy face. Even Situ Junwen thinks that this round is stable for Situ Nan, But I didn't expect this painting to contain such a story.

Anger is all about anger, but it's not easy for Situ Junwen to express it directly in front of so many people.

However, Zhao Gang didn't care about him so much, and directly chose to ignore the two people and turned to another collection of Avalokitesvara Holding Lotus.

With the story of the first piece, everyone has a little expectation for Zhao Gang, and they seem to want to see what Zhao Gang thinks about this Avalokitesvara holding a lotus.

Zhao Gang looked at the Avalokitesvara holding lotus, the Avalokitesvara holding lotus was inlaid on the table and the base could not be seen at all, he couldn't help but sighed deeply: "The most famous Guanyin in the Sui and Tang Dynasties is undoubtedly the Avalokitesvara of Esoteric Buddhism, and the most famous one in the Tang and Song dynasties is also holding the lotus. Lotus Avalokitesvara, from the Song Dynasty to the Western Xia Dynasty, the male figure Shuiyue Avalokitesvara was the most famous, judging from the appearance of this lotus-holding Avalokitesvara, it is correct in the Tang Dynasty."

Zhao Gang still agreed with Situ Nan's point of view, and did not deny the authenticity of this Guanyin without Situ Nan.

Just when everyone thought that Zhao Gang and Situ Nan had the same views, Zhao Gang sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly and said, "But helplessly, this is not Avalokitesvara holding lotus at all!"

When Zhao Gang said this, everyone present was once again taken aback.

People who know how to do it smiled and waited for Zhao Gang's explanation, while those who didn't know how to do it looked confused, they didn't understand why Zhao Gang admitted it earlier, and then said no.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Zhao Gang suddenly realized the conflict in his words, scratched his head and said with embarrassment: "To be precise, he is not the Lotus-holding Guanyin."

"Not the deity?"

Everyone looked puzzled and looked at Zhao Gang.At this moment, the courtyard was full of people, and even the people sitting outside all came forward to listen to Zhao Gang's analysis of these items.

Zhao Gang nodded and then said: "As Brother Situ said, Avalokitesvara holding lotus ranks No. 33 among the 30 Avalokitesvara. The real Avalokitesvara holding lotus should be an independent one, or three together. One The other two statues are his attendants, they should be boys and girls, and these two statues appearing at the same time should be boys and girls, that's right, not the real statue of Guanyin holding lotus."

After Zhao Gang's analysis again, the people around the yard suddenly realized again.

Once again, he couldn't help but praised Zhao Gang.

Many old men who were older than Zhao Gang lamented that they were inferior to Zhao Gang's own knowledge of appraising treasures and understanding of history.

Some people are also glad that they can come here today to celebrate Yun Xiangtian's birthday, which can be regarded as allowing them to meet the world.

Among them, the most joyful thing is Su Qiming. Today, Zhao Gang has earned enough face for him, making him feel more honored!

At his age, in fact, he has long regarded benefits very lightly, and only cares about fame!
