Riding the wind of rebirth

"You can really find something for me, kid." Uncle Si Biao said with a smile, "I just got rid of the things in the suitcase, and got another batch of Ming and Qing Dynasties."

Ten precious calligraphy and paintings from the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty were taken out of the leather case I received in Dayi before.

In addition to Shi Yannian's "Poetry of Raising Pens and Stations", Chuangu's "Sitting Dragon Picture", Jing Hao's "Shu Mountain Picture", Ma Yuan and his son's "Siyuan Picture", and Liu Songnian's "Shanshui Tuanfan", in the past year or so Uncle Si Biao and Aunt also restored Dong Yuan's "Coloring Spring Mountains", Xu Daoning's "Mao Pavilion Appreciating Snow", Li Cheng's "Chongluan Spring Dawn", Li Gonglin's "Xuanzong Farewell to the Horse", Xia Gui's "Farewell to the Horse". Drunk Sleeping in the Snow Hall".

All of them are super heavyweight palace painters, and all of them are famous figures mentioned in "Xuanhe Painting Book".

Moreover, the mysterious collector who collected these ten paintings and calligraphy works seems to have deliberately selected the theme, and all the works seem to have something to do with Shu Chuan.

For example, "Siyuan Picture", "Landscape Tuanfan", and "Colored Spring Mountain Picture" all take the magnificent scenery of the mountains and gorges in the north and south of Shuchuan.

And "Cuibi Post Poetry", "Maoting Appreciation Snow Picture" is written by Zhuge Liang, "Shushan Picture" is drawn by Tang Xuanzong's southern tour of Emei, and "Xuanzong's Bie Ma Tu" is drawn by Xuanzong and Prince Li. The scene where Heng parted ways at Maweipo.

"Shanshui Tuanfan" depicts the scenery of Meishan and Glass River. Like "Snow Hall Drunken Sleeping Picture", the subject matter is Su Dongpo.

As a result, the "Sitting Dragon Picture" left by the ancients has become a mystery instead, because this painting does not have a direct relationship with Shuzhong.

Zhou Zhi and his fourth uncle had studied this issue for a long time, and Zhou Zhi said: "This time I went to the capital of Shu, I got a clue from my master. It is said that he was from Siming. The "Xuanhe Painting Book" records his most famous painting. , that is, an ink dragon mural was painted in Mingzhou Guoning Temple."

"The master said that there is also a famous temple at Yankou in the middle of Sichuan, also called Guoning Temple, which is the throat of the water vein in the Central Shu Plain, where Fengren is connected."

"Could it be that at a certain time, someone drew the ink dragon painting of Mingzhou Guoning Temple, and then moved it to Yankou Guoning Temple to suppress the water veins, and finally flowed out into the storage box?"

"This statement is a bit far-fetched." The fourth cousin is a very serious person, and he just shook his head when he heard the words: "At most, it is a clue, not evidence."

"And judging from the brushwork, "The Picture of Sitting Dragon" is also an authentic work rather than an extension painting." The fourth aunt also added: "If it is said to be the original draft of the mural, it is possible."

"In the past dynasties, there have been too many unsolved mysteries like this." Zhou Zhi could only spread his hands: "But I will go to Yankou Guoning Temple to have a look when I have time."

If any one of these ten pictures were known to the outside world, it would probably be a major event in the world. However, Zhou Zhi and his fourth uncle and four aunts cared about the research work of these doubts, as if this was the most important thing.

"Fortunately, the senior left the paper and ink treasured by Song Ting in the leather case." Uncle Si Biao said, "Otherwise, we can't be caught off guard."

Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Ruizhi and I have finally lived up to them."

"It takes more work for those who are capable." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Wen Zhengming's fan is worthy of your old bamboo fan bones?"

"Don't hit me with that bone!" The fourth uncle glared at the words: "If you want that thing, wait until I kick my legs to see Max!"

The fourth cousin has a collection of old mottled bamboo fans, which is different from the popular plain-faced and bare-faced group spots now, that set of fan bones does not care about the preciousness of the safflower wax ground material, and is fully carved as usual.

On one side are two thin bamboo branches, on which are two quarreling sparrows;

Don't ask how you know it's a fun show, anyway, the exquisite engraving of the picture gives people such a feeling, it seems that the line of sight of the single sparrow passed through the fan, and just landed on the two sparrows on the opposite side.

The heads, wings and shoulders of the three sparrows are exactly where the natural brown-red color of the mottled bamboo is.

Zhou Zhi had been thinking about this fan for a long time, but the fourth cousin would not let go of it.

"I remember that Uncle Yu gave you something from Wang Wumin and Zhou Ding, right?" Uncle Si Biao said, "These two were also famous fan makers in the Qing Dynasty."

"Aren't they from the Qing Dynasty? They are hundreds of years away from Wen Zhengming." Zhou Zhi smiled cheekily.

"I'm also from the Qing Dynasty!" The fourth cousin quickly waved his hands.

"It's different in the early Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty. Baoyuetang and Daya Zhai are two different things." Zhou Zhi continued.

Baoyuetang is the name of the workshop that produced the blue-and-white pen holder of "Wang Bao Shengzhu Xianchen Fu" collected by Zhou Zhi, and the base is a blue-and-white rabbit.

Before the restoration of the official kiln mouth, most of the tribute porcelain to the palace had the money of Baoyuetang, and the collectors called it "an official kiln that is not an official kiln".

And Daya Zhai is the foundation of Cixi's own porcelain.

One is the early Qing Dynasty and the other is the late Qing Dynasty, so the value is naturally different.

"Don't make trouble!" The fourth cousin finally stopped teasing Zhou Zhi: "Wen Zhengming's front and back fans are exquisitely mounted, and there is no damage. Are you going to dismantle the mirror and take off the mirror to make a fan? The key is me." The sparrow and spotted bamboo fan is a big fan, and the fan surface needs to be repaired before it can be put on, so don't mess with things, right?"

"What about the rest? Don't they need to be repaired?" Zhou Zhi continued to ask.

"The remaining ones...half." Uncle Si Biao said, "After all, it is much easier to repair than Song paintings, and it will be fine within two or three years."

"Qi Lao and Wang Lao Ke both asked me to invite you two great gods to the capital..."

"How is that possible? In the situation of your fourth aunt."

"That's why I turned it down to the two of you after much difficulty." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "But I can only promise them that when you are editing and framing, you will record it as a video material and send it to them as a teaching material."

"You..." The fourth cousin is really a little afraid of the kid in front of him. If he encourages the State Administration of Cultural Heritage or the Forbidden City, the National Museum, and the two museums to recruit himself in the next document, then there is really no way to evade: "...that's fine, but Let’s talk it over first, that’s the way it is at most!”

"Okay!" Zhou Zhi's goal was achieved, and he immediately smiled: "Fourth aunt, I will push you to go to my house for dinner!"

Putting the repaired paintings into the box, Zhou Zhi pushed the fourth aunt, and everyone came out of the small courtyard together.

When we came home, the godfather and mother had already arrived, and the teachers also came up, and everyone was sitting in the living room drinking tea and chatting.

Zhao Shangzhong, Xu Youzhi and Jiang Qiao were playing long cards that Jiachuan people love to play, and Jiang Shuyi was amazed to see that the principal and teacher were completely different today from when they were at school or when they were visiting home.

As soon as the fourth cousin entered the house, Zhao Shangzhong immediately put down the cards and stood up in a dignified manner: "Hello, Principal Su, and hello, teacher's wife."

Zhao Shangzhong is a person who has inherited the mantle of the fourth cousin. He lived in the fourth cousin's house when he was studying, and later he also engaged in education. He learned a lot from the fourth cousin. It is really a teacher and a father.

So when Zhou Zhi wanted to adjust the class, my mother even thought about finding the fourth cousin to clear up Zhao Shangzhong's relationship. It was my father who said that was bad, and using the fourth cousin's relationship to communicate with Zhao Shangzhong would be suspected of bullying. Or he should talk about it first.

As a result, my parents' own face is already enough.
