Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Wang Hui (1632-1717) was one of the six great families in the early Qing Dynasty. He was named Shigu, also known as Gengyan Sanren, Wumushan people, and later Qinghuizhu.

The name Wang Hui is very unfamiliar to ordinary people. Even for collectors in the antique circle, few have heard of it. Let’s put it this way, celebrities like Qi Baishi, Zheng Banqiao, and Zhang Daqian are known to everyone; celebrities like Mi Fu, Shen Zhou, Dong Qichang, and Qiu Ying are known to everyone in the antique circle, but painters like Wang Hui are only known by very, very few people. Only senior people who like calligraphy and painting and calligraphy and painting circles know him.

Six paintings imitating the landscapes of famous figures from the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties are Wang Hui's well-known masterpieces, which took many years of hard work to finally complete.

The title of this volume is imitated by famous sages from the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, as follows: Wang Wei of the Lin Tang Dynasty, "Jiang Xueyi", one imitated by Hui Chong Xiaojing of the Five Dynasties, one imitated the Song Dynasty people Guan Tongtong, one imitated the Song people Li Cheng and Fan Kuan, and Lin Zhao Mengfuyi, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, was named after the six hand scrolls imitating Hengjing, a famous sage from the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.

These names can all represent the landscape painting style of an era. Wang Hui either imitated, studied, or imitated, using his own perspective to interpret and develop his own pen and ink style that he has practiced for many years. Therefore, his content is not only The Tang, Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties inevitably carry the style characteristics of the Wu School of the Ming Dynasty and his own. It can be said that it carries and reflects the excellent tradition of landscape painting for nearly a thousand years.

This seems to be a kind of integration and summary, "Using the pen and ink of the Yuan Dynasty to convey the Qiuhe of the Song Dynasty, and using the spirit and rhyme of the Tang Dynasty people, it is a great achievement." This is Wang Hui's artistic rule.

To put it in words that everyone can understand, use the infinite as the limited, use the impossible as the method, and combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought!

There were six hand scrolls in total, and they were later framed into one roll. At the 2015 Jiu Ge Spring Auction, it was sold for a high price of 9430 million yuan, winning the title of the auction. This good thing is actually in the hands of this little girl.

Since it was in the Jiang family, why would it appear at the auction later? Who did the Jiang family sell to later?

"Uncle Song is awesome!" Jiang Huan smiled at the side, showing two dimples, and gave Song Qingyun a thumbs up.

"Chen Yang, I can tell you clearly that one of these six paintings is fake. You only need to find the fake one, and you will win!"

"But if you don't find it, or if you find it wrong, you lose!"

Chen Yang raised his head and looked at Jiang Huan. This little girl was clearly making things difficult for him. Among all antiques, paintings and calligraphy are the most difficult to identify. First of all, you need to understand the styles of painters in each dynasty. As people age, their painting styles and brushstrokes will change. You even need to understand the brushstrokes of a painter in his youth, middle age and old age. This alone can make a difference to how many people Blocked out of the circle of calligraphy and painting.

The second step is to understand the characteristics of paper, ink, and silk materials used in different periods. Finally, we need to understand the character of a painter, which is also very important for the appraisal of ancient paintings.

Take Shen Zhou for example, he is a very easy-going person. After he became famous, many people came to ask for his paintings. No matter who came, Shen Zhou would paint for them. Sometimes friends even come to Shen Zhou with their finished paintings.

"Brother Shen, I really can't open the pot at home. I drew a picture and wanted to sell it for some money. Can I lend you your name badge?"

Just like that, Shen Zhou didn't refuse and directly took out his seal and stamped it on his painting. Once people sell their paintings, they don’t know what to do with the money.

Therefore, it is not only necessary to understand a painter's style, but also his character. Otherwise, if you pick up an ancient painting and they say it is from Shen Zhou, the famous seal is also from Shen Zhou. The paper and ink are of the right age, but the painting style is wrong. You just can’t explain it to others.

This is also the reason why Chen Yang doesn't like ancient paintings. They are too complicated and not as straightforward as porcelain and jade. However, it is also very rare to see Wang Hui's six paintings imitating the landscapes of famous figures from the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.

It takes so much trouble to authenticate just one painting, let alone find a fake among these six.

"How about it? Do you want to read them one by one or together?" Jiang Huan asked Chen Yang.

Chen Yang chuckled slightly, "I didn't expect that you, little girl, actually kept a hand. Okay, it's okay anyway, so I'll help you take a look."

"Expand it fully for easy viewing together!"

"Wait a minute!" Song Qingyun stretched out his hand to stop Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, please think about it, this is an ancient painting, not other objects. Let's look at it together. You have such a big voice, and you are not afraid of being dazzled. !”

Song Qingyun felt it was inappropriate and found a fake among the six paintings by the same person. If they were viewed together, it would be easy to be dazzled.

Since someone can hide a fake inside a genuine one, they can be confident. Chen Yang looked at it this way. If he was not careful and got dazzled, he would lose.

Hearing Song Qingyun reminding Chen Yang from the side, Jiang Huan was unhappy, "Uncle Song, this is his choice. You can't remind me of the competition between him and me!"

"I didn't remind him during his appraisal, I just reminded him of his opinion." Song Qingyun looked at Jiang Huan and smiled.

"That won't work either!" Jiang Huan looked dissatisfied, "You can't speak for a while!"

"You little girl!" Song Qingyun shook his head, smiled, and then patted Chen Yang, "Bless yourself, I'll be watching from here!"

The hand scrolls were all unfolded. Chen Yang looked at them carefully, comparing them up and down, front and back from time to time. After looking at each painting, the corners of Chen Yang's mouth curled up. This little girl was playing tricks on him. These six paintings were all It's authentic, not fake at all.

In order to ensure that nothing was missed, Chen Yang carefully looked at each painting. No matter in terms of paper, ink, or painting style, there were no problems. It seemed that this little girl was fooling herself.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang clapped his hands and smiled, "These six paintings of yours are all authentic, there are no fakes at all. Am I right?"

Jiang Huan's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. Chen Yang was indeed quite capable, and he could actually see it. There is indeed no fake here. What I said just now just made Chen Yang confused.

This is just like the game of finding the truth among the fakes, except that all the fake ones are replaced by real ones, and Chen Yang is clearly told that there is a fake in it. If you don't have good eyesight, you will be suspicious in your heart. Look, Everything looks fake.

But how could I let Chen Yang go so easily? So what can you do if you have good eyesight? As long as I say one thing is false, then you, Chen Yang, still don’t lose?

"Haha!" Jiang Huan pointed at Chen Yang and laughed, "You lose! I told you there was a fake one here, and you still said it was all authentic!"

Song Qingyun glared at Chen Yang from the side, and asked you to take care of me. I'll just look at them one by one. You have to try your best, so what, you lose now!

Chen Yang clapped his hands, put the magnifying glass aside, raised his head and looked at Jiang Huan with a smile, "Then please, Miss Jiang, please give me some advice. Which picture here is fake? And what method was used to fake it?"

Jiang Huan put his hands behind his back, coughed slightly, and slowly walked around the six hand scrolls. Which one is better?

"That's it!" Jiang Huan pointed a finger, "Imitate Huichong Xiaojing!"

Chen Yang and Song Qingyun walked closer and looked at the scroll drawn by Jiang Huan's finger. They saw the text in the upper left corner of the scroll: "Yellow bird trees in the evening breeze on both sides of the strait, and white gulls in the spring water. Imitation of the small scene of Huichong", with the seal "Wang Hui" , "Shigu", "Laiqing Pavilion".

Chen Yang looked up at Jiang Huan. This girl knew how to choose paintings. Hui Chong, a painter and poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, became a monk and was good at depicting the hazy scenery of southern mountains and rivers in detailed and exquisite ways.

As a poet, Hui Chong specializes in five rhymes and writes more about small natural scenes. He avoids using allusions and prefers white descriptions. He strives for precision and translucency, which is highly praised by Ouyang Xiu and others. As a painter, he paints geese, wild animals, herons, and egrets, especially small scenes, and is good at small scenes. It is the image of a cold pavilion far away from Zhugzhou, a natural and empty place. Su Shi wrote a poem for Hui Chong's painting "Evening Scene on the Spring River": There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, a duck prophet of the warmth of the spring river, and his reputation has been passed down through the ages.

It's a pity that Hui Chong's poems have been passed down, but almost none of his paintings have been passed down. This little girl chose such a painting because she obviously thought that few people had seen Hui Chong's paintings. In addition, this painting was by Wang Hui, who lived in Jiangnan, and she used his name to paint the Jiangnan in her heart. She can say whatever she wants.

"Oh, really?" Chen Yang looked at Jiang Huan with a smile, "Then how is this painting fake?"
