Now that people understand, there is no other way. Chen Yang can only bite the bullet.Fortunately, Chen Yang has solid basic skills in antiques and expressed his doubts in terms of brush usage, painting style, details and painting layout.

After listening to what Chen Yang said, Song Lan hugged her shoulders and smiled, even with a trace of contempt on her face.What Chen Yang said sounded reasonable at first, but Song Lan knew that these were honest words that antique dealers often used to make fakes look like real things, and real things look like fakes.

Song Lan has watched his father Song Kaiyuan teach Song Qingyun about antiques since he was a child. What Chen Yang said is okay for laymen, but I'm afraid it's not enough to deceive himself!

"I don't agree with Boss Chen's opinion," Song Lan looked up at the scroll and said, "How about Boss Chen listen to my opinion."

"All ears!"

Song Lan cleared her throat and spoke slowly, "Speaking of Qian Weicheng, I have to mention one person, and that is Qianlong. Qianlong loved poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting throughout his life. At the same time, Qianlong also had one of his biggest hobbies when reading calligraphy and painting. That’s the seal.”

"Qianlong spent a lot of energy collecting rare treasures throughout his life, many of which he made into seals. According to historical records, Qianlong had more than 1000 seals, and more than 500 of them were commonly used. It can be said that he was a real treasure. The seal madman."

When Chen Yang heard what Song Lan said, he couldn't help but want to laugh.Seal Maniac, this title is worthy of Emperor Qianlong. Song Lan is right, Qianlong did have a lot of seals, so many that in his later years, Qianlong did not seal them himself, but asked eunuchs to seal them for him.

"Qianlong had a problem. Whenever he liked a painting, he would put a seal on it to prove that Qianlong had appreciated it and that it was a treasure. Some paintings even had three, ten or twenty inscriptions. It is said that when Qianlong was crazy, any painting with Whenever there is space, a seal will be stamped.”

"Therefore, Qianlong's seals give people the impression that they are chaotic and mixed, but few people know that these seals are not stamped randomly, they are all in order and have explanations."

Having said this, Song Lan pointed to the seal on the painting and continued, "Qian Weicheng was Qianlong's most admired imperial painting master, so his paintings must have Qianlong's seal on them."

"Let's take a look. On the right side of this painting is an oval seal with the words "Qianlong's Royal Appreciation", and on the left is a square circular seal with "Qianlong's Appreciation". These two seals must be used together, and The right is high and the left is low, which means that I, Qianlong, have seen it and this is a treasure!"

After hearing what Song Lan said, Chen Yang swallowed hard. What this girl said was right. It seemed that she was not lying. There must be experts in her family.

As she said, this seal is called the eye seal. It is usually placed at the top of the painting, which means it has entered Qianlong's eyes.

Although the seals and inscriptions on the paintings that Qianlong appreciated looked very messy, each seal was not stamped randomly and had its own explanation.Even in his later years, Qianlong had his eunuchs stamp his seals. The eunuchs would always measure the distance with a ruler, and they would never be wrong.

"The next two seals in this position are "Sanxitang Jingjianxi" and "Yi Zisun". These two seals, like conjoined twins, basically appear at the same time, and the distance between them is very particular. They must be "Yi Zisun" Descendants "half the height, or a little more."

"Sanxi Hall was Qianlong's study. The presence of these two seals means that this calligraphy and painting must be Qianlong's favorite, the best among the best."

Having said this, Song Lan looked at Chen Yang with a smile and asked, "Boss Chen, am I right?"

Chen Yang nodded mechanically. That's not bad at all. He was absolutely right.Song Lan turned around and pointed to Qianlong's seal at the last side of the painting, "Below the treasure of Qianlong's Imperial View is the treasure of the Imperial Study Room. This is the seal of the palace, which refers to the place where it is stored. It's a pity that there is a "Shiqu Baoji" missing on it. "Shiqu Baoji" is a list of works collected in the Qing Dynasty. If there is this seal, it means that this painting was included in "Shiqu Baoji"."

"The Jiaqing imperial treasure and the Xuantong appreciation are the demonstration of the ownership of calligraphy and painting by future generations, commonly known as the descendants' seal.

The "Qianlong Royal Treasure" with obvious contrasting positions is a ladder relationship. The son cannot surpass the father, and each one must be in a lower position than the last.This is a rule, seniority cannot be messed with, otherwise it will be treason. "

Chen Yang licked his lips and looked at Song Lan. This woman's background was not simple. Her family members were by no means ordinary antique lovers, but the kind of people who were very proficient in antiques.

What she said is correct. For those who can tell the meaning and use of these seals, even in later generations, many people do not know the function of the Qianlong seal and the rules of seals on ancient paintings. This is why there are many people who make fake paintings. , the seals are in a mess.

After Song Lan said this, she turned back to look at Chen Yang, "I don't know much about Qian Weicheng's painting style. Just based on the seal on this painting, this painting is the original work of Qian Weicheng. Does Boss Chen think that's right? "

Although she was right, Chen Yang said that the painting was fake and he couldn't give up so easily!She thought that since she knew all these things, she couldn't deceive her?It’s simply whimsical. Today I’m going to tell you what it means to be a veteran in the antique shop!

Thinking of this, Chen Yang smiled and gave Song Lan a thumbs up, "I admire it, I admire it!"

Chen Yang turned back to look at Fang Dahai, "Brother, you have nothing to do to learn. Look at your leadership level. Otherwise, I am the leader and you are just an errand boy!"

"People always have to learn!"

If Song Lan hadn't been here, Fang Dahai would have wanted to beat up Chen Yang. Why did he change the topic to me? He understood it, but when it came to the painting, Fang Dahai still couldn't understand it.

"I admit that what you said, leader, is correct, but you missed one of the most critical points." Chen Yang looked at Song Lan with a smile.

"What did I miss?" Song Lan asked, frowning.

Chen Yang pointed at the scroll, "Leader, your knowledge is correct, but you have forgotten a common sense. Look at the top of the painting, is it obviously shorter?"

Song Lan looked up at the ancient painting. Chen Yang said that he had noticed it just now.This kind of ancient painting that has been preserved for hundreds of years must have been re-framed by later generations. Sometimes due to some special reasons, such as damage, insect bites, etc., repairs will be made during the framing, and serious parts will be cut off. Go down.

Of course, what can be cut out is usually the blank space, such as the top or four sides of the painting. These are common mounting techniques.

"What does this mean?" Song Lan looked at Chen Yang confused, "Isn't this a commonly used technique when re-mounting ancient paintings?"

Chen Yang chuckled and nodded to show that Song Lan was right, "But have you ever thought about why a section needs to be cut off when mounting? It can only mean that the damage there is more serious and it is a blank area. Cutting off will not affect the painting. Overall."

"Let's imagine that if the top part was cut off because of serious damage, then it means that the overall painting should be seriously damaged."

Speaking of this, Chen Yang pointed to the entire scroll, "But why are there no obvious signs of damage underneath, and only a few simple repairs? And looking at these repairs, they should have been repaired after they were accidentally damaged when the frame was removed."

After hearing Chen Yang's question, Song Lan was stunned for a moment.She had never noticed this, but Song Lan knew that what Chen Yang said was right. To remount ancient paintings, you need to unmount them first. During the unmounting process, due to the different techniques of the masters, there will of course be some damage. As long as they are repaired and Does not affect the overall painting.

And like this, a large section of the top was cut off. No framer would make this mistake. It can only mean that it was cut off because of the serious damage.

"This..." Song Lan couldn't answer for a while.

(The above seals are not mentioned in the article because they are not needed in the plot. The three seals were all used by Qianlong in his later years. These seals represent that Qianlong appreciated his beloved works again in his later years, which is equivalent to re-appreciating his favorite works. A commemorative seal of "Here Is Here" imposed on it.)
