Riding the wind of rebirth

Zhou Zhi rubbed his hands nervously. Whether it is painting or sculpture, the most difficult thing is the characters. There are more than 300 Arhats as the theme, and there are many accompanying Shi Tao's fine brushwork. One million for a painting is not expensive, right?

Those three hundred people combined are not worth three billion? !

Of course, this is the future market situation. Mr. Wang did not notice Zhou Zhi's dark calculations in his heart, and continued to introduce: "It can be seen from the earliest inscription year 'Ding Wei' that the paintings inside were first painted when Shi Tao was twenty-six years old. In that year, the entire album was created in 1667, 69, 70, and 72, that is, from the age of 26 to 31, which lasted six years."

"According to Shi Tao's own title in the painting, after the album was completed, he donated it to Guangjiao Temple."

"From the subsequent appraisal seals and inscriptions, we can also infer its general circulation route."

"There are eight collection seals on the album page. The first is 'Jingtingshan Guangjiao Temple Forever Enshrinement'. This is the first collection place."

"The rest include 'Tianwu Bookstore', 'Xunyuan', 'Tianxun', 'Little Master', 'Huanshan', and 'Huanshan Review'. This is the second collector. Do you know who it is? ?”

"Huanshan, Huanshan..." Zhou Zhi thought hard: "I seem to have seen this somewhere..."

"There is also a seal, 'Shi Shu', which is also his. Do you have any impression?"

"Fang Shishu!" Zhou Zhi patted his thigh: "Fang Shishu, a great painter of the Qianlong Dynasty, had a courtesy name of Xunyuan, his nickname was Huanshan, and he was also known as Little Lion Taoist. At that time, people said that Wang Yuan Qihou was the best in landscape painting! I don't have his " Qinglu Autumn Light Picture"! I had memorized the information not long ago, but I couldn't remember it for a while!"

""Qinglu Autumn Lights"?" Mr. Wang was stunned when he heard this: "This painting is from the collection of the Imperial Palace. It was on the Shiqu Baoji, but later disappeared. When did you collect it?"

"Hehehehe..." Zhou Zhi smiled and rubbed his hands: "I made a fortune recently. I missed a batch of goods when I was searching for a house. Among them, there are about thirty scrolls of paintings from the third generation of the inner court. However, I just got them and haven't studied them thoroughly yet."

"Fang Shishu was the leader of the Yangzhou School of Painting during the Qianlong Dynasty, and his paintings are also among them."

This is not a lie to the old man. Looking for his own house is also considered a house hunt.

"Why have you fallen behind in your homework recently?" Mr. Wang was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Zhi's lack of homework: "You yourself have a collection of Alchemist Shu's paintings. After hearing so many words from me, you still can't remember who it is. How can I be honest?"

"Ah this..." Zhou Zhi had to hand over his hand and beg for mercy: "I just got this, and I was busy with the final exam. I was busy memorizing that homework, so I left this homework behind... But don't worry, old man, I'm on vacation now, I will They were made up one by one.”

"There is also a seal on this painting. It belongs to the third collector, 'Kulei Layman'. Do you know this?"

"He is even less familiar with the modern ones." Qi Lao's cheerful voice sounded at the door: "Old Wang, please don't embarrass yourself here." "I know!" Zhou Zhi quickly raised his hand: "Modern painter Qiu Miao After all, he has a brother who is a big collector, named Qiu Yanzhi!"

"Hey!" Qi Lao was happy: "This guy can't compete with the alchemist for fame, but you found out!"

"Because in the house I searched for recently, the collector had good friends with cultural figures who took refuge in Shu during the Republic of China. The reason why he was able to collect a large number of calligraphy and paintings was due to three 'middlemen', one of whom was the Kumi layman. Qiu Miaozhi." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Qiu Kumiao, Li Kuli, and Xi Shuxing are all from the Yangzhou School of Painting. They are known as the 'Nantong Three Kus'. Such a weird nickname is hard to remember."

"It's still a fluke, not Kung Fu." Mr. Wang earnestly warned: "His talent is very good, and he is a helper in paper, pen and ink, mounting and other side skills, and it is the origin of family education in the art of appraisal, but this is the main road, Kung Fu It is time to memorize the history of Chinese art."

"The "History of Chinese Art" published by Dachong is not good. It can only be read as an outline." Qi Lao said: "When I come here this time, I will bring back some information about the Forbidden City and the National Museum to make up for this homework, otherwise it will really What a pity."

The two bosses had spoken, and Zhou Zhi had no choice but to stand up and admit his mistake: "This aspect has been lax this semester. I will definitely tighten up."

"We can't run around now. In the future, overseas acquisitions will most likely fall on you." Mr. Wang lamented: "Fortunately this time, Xiao Cui has collected the paintings of Taoist Little Lion, and he is very familiar with his seals and brushstrokes. He was very familiar with it, otherwise he would not have dared to take back this set of album pages. He thought that no matter whether it was authentic or not, at least the postscripts and paintings in Little Lion Taoist's book were worth his income."

"Then why does he want to sell it now that he knows it is authentic?" Zhou Zhi asked again when everyone got into the car.

"Lao Cui has not been easy these years." Ma Weiwei was driving and spoke at this time: "Li Kuchan's favorite student studied in the United States and the island country, but he has not become famous in these years. He can't compare with you. This kind of thing The pages of the album are enough to bankrupt a poor painter.”

"When he came back this time, he decided to settle down in China and wanted to find a house in the inner ring. If you want to blame this, blame Yu Hua, that big mouth. He told Lao Cui that your old house is in Shichahai. Lao Cui fell in love with it as soon as he saw it."

"The house in Shichahai was moved from Huizhou, right?" Zhou Zhi asked. He didn't know much about the style of each of the ten courtyard houses he had in the capital, or where the houses were moved, because the matter was entrusted to Feng Managed by Cang and Da Pan.

"No, the one in Huizhou is in Houhai." Mr. Ma rushed to help with this matter. Big Pan Fengcang still couldn't recruit the big guys from the ancient construction circle like the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City. They were looking at Mr. Wang and Mr. Qi. He only acted to save face, and he only recognized Ma Ye as a half-expert in communication, so Ma Ye knew Zhou Zhi’s yard better than himself: “Haichao An is half of the back garden, and it is a public property in the UK, so we still follow the old Beijing rules. The layout was pieced together and restored using old materials from several houses. It’s very beautiful.”

"Old Cui is from the capital. He particularly likes the smell of old houses in the middle of the capital. He can be near the water when he goes out. He fell in love with him right away. However, he is a pauper now. All he can afford is this set of albums and him. My own painting.”

"What about his own words?" Zhou Zhi asked. The current owner of the album is named Cui Ruzhuo. Zhou Zhi felt that he had heard this name in later generations and had some impression, but he could not remember the details.

"Xiao Cui's paintings still abide by the rules, but they are covered with Western graffiti, so I wanted to break through from overseas first." Mr. Ma shook his head when he said it: "I think he is not going the right way."

"I guess so. He may have realized it himself, so he came back." Zhou Zhi guessed, then turned to the two elders in the back seat and said, "But if I go to Haichao'an's house, there is one thing I want to move away." ( End of this chapter)
