Riding the wind of rebirth

Sure enough, when I was looking through the "Bamboo Fence Breaking Spring Picture" with the inscription "Danhu Yu wrote that the people of Xinluo Mountain were careless in Zhushan Jueyuzhi Nanxuan" and the seal with the word "Bamboo", on the wooden board on the back of the hanging screen On the top, it was found that there was a thin layer added later.

"Danhu Yu" is Liu Yucen's self-proclaimed name. In his later years, his works were often stamped with the word "bamboo". Someone once asked him why. He said: "I like bamboo. The seal written with the word bamboo looks good, that's all."

Many people don't know this and mistakenly mistake the word "bamboo" for the word "rain". When Zhou Zhi watched the treasure appraisal program, he heard this story told by an expert, so he remembered it.

Zhou Zhi was very curious and asked Yang Ting to find tools to open it, and found that there was a poem and article written with a calligraphy brush on the back panel of the bottom screen.

The poem was probably written by Tian Han when he first received Liu Yucen's gift.

"The southern branches are like snow covering Xiongguan, and I can see it in the painting of Mr. Zhushan. It is not only Zhushan that retains its strength, but it has already spread to the world of spring."

Zhou Zhi cannot remember all of the Ten Friends of the Eight Friends of Zhushan, but their names are all recorded in the postscript below the poem.

It turned out that these ten pieces of porcelain paintings were when Ouyang Youhe went to Beijing for a meeting, chatted with the famous drama master Tian Han, and mentioned that he had bought a new house in his hometown, and Tian Han gave them as gifts.

Tian Han once rewrote the drama "The Golden Bowl" based on the story of "The Legend of White Snake", and Ouyang Youhe adapted "The Legend of White Snake" into "Jinshan Temple". The two have quite a common language.

And Liu Yucen later served as the vice chairman of the JX Provincial Artists Association and the chairman of the JDZ City Artists Association.Five or six years later, he worked in the Ceramic Research Institute of the Ministry of Light Industry. When studying Mao porcelain, he had extensively solicited opinions from people in the literary and art circles. Tian Han highly praised his achievements in ceramic art, and praised his porcelain plate paintings.

So Liu Yucen sent a batch of porcelain paintings by famous artists at that time to Tian Han.

But Tian Han's family couldn't accommodate it. Ouyang Youhe just bought a new house. The family was quite spacious and elegant, so Tian Han gave it to Ouyang Youhe to prevent these masterpieces from being piled up on his bookcase. Eat ashes.

This process, Tian Han wrote it on the back panel of "Bamboo Fence Breaking Spring", and also deliberately recorded the names of all the authors and the names painted on the porcelain plate at that time.

The paintings of the ancients basically left words, numbers, vegetarian names, etc. The seals also mostly expressed their interests and interests, and they rarely left their names directly.

Similarly, the painting is not given a name, and generally what is left is poetry.

Therefore, identifying ancient paintings is sometimes like solving a crime. It is necessary to infer the author based on the content of the painting. Also, the name of the painting is mostly chosen by later generations based on the content of the poem.

This article left by Tian Han actually saved everyone a lot of effort.

Fei Guan couldn't help but make fun of Zhou Zhi: "You are called a cheap person. If you stay home and open this thin plate again, you can save a fortune."

Modern porcelain plate paintings are now as cheap as modern new things. The so-called "Eight Friends of Zhushan" are now known to almost no one except teachers who study the history of Jingde ceramics.

In fact, porcelain plate paintings were very expensive in the Republic of China. Wang Dafan, one of the Eight Friends of Zhushan, ordered the painter to pay 240 silver dollars for a [-]-foot-[-] sitting screen at that time, and [-] silver dollars for a set.

If the subject is a lady, the price will be doubled, and for horizontal paintings, [-]% will be added.

At that time, Qi Baishi's Runge cost only 72 yuan for an eight-foot-long folio banner, 140 yuan for the central hall, and an additional ten yuan for additional payment, and it was only 150 yuan.

In other words, Qi Baishi's eight-foot-long central hall only cost Wang Dafan two yuan, two feet six, for a screen.

However, due to the impact of a large number of modern handicrafts and the fact that the hype has not yet begun, the situation has now been reversed. The price of such a large high-quality porcelain panel painting strip screen is only seven or eight hundred yuan at most.However, as Tian Han wrote the lyrics for the national anthem and was a big celebrity, the price of anything he endorsed would increase, so in the end everyone agreed that one thousand and two dollars for a picture was considered fair.

On the contrary, the red sandalwood frames are also quite valuable, each can be sold for three hundred. Zhou Zhi bought a set of ten porcelain slatted screens for fifteen thousand.

If there is no celebrity endorsement, ten thousand is actually enough.

But if you think about it more deeply, the porcelain plate paintings were not valuable in the future, and the person who confiscated them was careless and did not notice this article. Otherwise, Ouyang Youhe would have been implicated, and this set of things would have been destroyed at that time, and would never have been passed on. Come down.

At this point Zhou Zhi was satisfied, and he became more careful in appraising things, but he left everything to Lin Wanqiu, Fei Guan, and Zhang Cheng.

Lin Wanqiu mainly collects porcelain, while Fei Guan and Zhang Cheng mainly collect miscellaneous items.

It was noon, and everyone had already picked out things worth more than 30 yuan, of which more than [-] yuan had been decided to be collected. For Lao Yang, a retired working-class man, and Xiao Yang, a people's teacher, this has been a lifetime. I can’t even earn a “huge amount of money”.

Therefore, they were even more satisfied than Zhou Zhi. Seeing that it was approaching noon, Yang Shangqiu invited everyone to have a meal at a restaurant in the city.

Everyone said it was not necessary. This time, the house hunting was fruitful, but there were still calligraphy and paintings that I had not started to appraise.

Yang Ting was even more afraid that the things here would be taken away when everyone went to eat. In the past, he didn’t know how valuable the things left by his grandfather were, so he didn’t take them seriously and threw them in the old house without caring about them for more than ten years. But now he has not taken any care of them. Don't dare to leave, who would dare to mess around with hundreds of thousands of piles here?
Fortunately, he was quick-thinking: "Dad, please accompany a few teachers first, and I'll go to the restaurant to order some dishes."

"That's good," Fei Guan said with a smile, "If you have some pork liver, be sure to get some. Everyone needs to refill their eyes today."

"Everyone, let's get up and take a walk. We've been sitting here for a long time." Zhang Cheng stood up and limped for a walk in the corridor outside the patio: "Actually, this house is quite nice. Let's clear the patio and tear down the partition walls. It is a good place to restore the old outlook, and living here is more comfortable than in the capital city of Shu."

"It's still not very convenient." Yang Shangqiu said, "I still have to take care of my grandson for a few years, and no one will live there even after it's repaired."

"It would be more cost-effective to resell it after it is renovated than to sell it now." Zhou Zhi also came up with an idea.

"It would be best if the local government takes over and transforms it into a community street activity center or something." Lin Wanqiu said.

"It's up to you representatives to propose the proposal." Zhou Zhi said: "There has to be a balance between demolition, reconstruction and protection."

Even after I said this, I didn’t believe it. The trade-offs and balances would have to wait at least ten years before starting. Before, it was all about “big things”, push and pull, and everything was done.

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of something: "By the way, the Three Gorges is now undergoing major demolition. If many valuable ancient buildings are not rescued in time, I am afraid that when the water accumulates in the future, they will be underwater. Shouldn't we Set up a rescue and protection team and go to the Three Gorges to visit?"

"Will the country not care about it?" Fei Guan said.

"The state will definitely not be able to manage it all. It would be great to be able to complete the relocation of immovable cultural relics of level three or above." Zhou Zhi said: "Some of the ancient buildings, old residences, and old temples in the old streets have exquisite brick carvings, stone carvings, and wood carvings. , murals, carved beams and painted buildings, may not be on the rescue list."

"As far as I know, our middle school was rebuilt from a temple. Among them, the [-]-story wooden brackets of the Old Bell and Drum Tower are the only one in the country. However, it does not meet the protection level. It is still used as a physical education classroom for us. .”

"There are also old and bulky furniture, flower-board beds, large cabinets, and large tanks in the houses of the demolished households, as well as clay sculptures, stone carvings, and wooden statues in some temples. They cannot be taken away at all." (End of this chapter)
