Siheyuan starts from the stationmaster

Chapter 65 Relics
Hearing He Daqing's last words, Bai Zirui thought to himself that it was terrible to be uneducated, and it would be like a flower stuck in cow dung for a cheap mother to marry him.

He couldn't wait to say: "Father, can you take me to see what my mother left me?"

He Daqing nodded and said, "Okay! Anyway, these are things left to you by your mother, and you can do whatever you want with them."

After speaking, he stood up and led Bai Zirui to an inconspicuous place where sundries were stored. He saw three shelves inside. Bai Zirui stepped forward to check. Two of the shelves contained some calligraphy, paintings and ancient rare books. , and another shelf holds some fine china.

These are the collections of several generations of the cheap old mother's family and her mother's family. After the relatives of the two families were killed, they were all transported to the Bai family's ancestral house, and they were all left to herself after she died of illness.

After Bai Zirui saw these things left by his cheap mother, he was filled with emotion. Everything here can be said to be a priceless treasure. It is really hard for the Qing Dynasty to preserve these treasures during the 10-year storm.

After the two of them came out of this unremarkable utility room, Bai Zirui said to He Daqing: "Father, please help me keep these treasures for a while longer. After this storm is over, I will pick you up with you." These babies are going to the capital together."

He Daqing nodded and said, "Zi Rui, don't worry! These are left to you by your mother, and I will help you take good care of them."

Neither of the two revealed the existence of these things to the outside world. When they were about to part ways at five o'clock in the afternoon, He Daqing prepared a delicious dinner for everyone. Not long after everyone had dinner, the driver in the morning started driving. The car came to the ancestral house of the Bai family to pick up everyone and return to the capital.

After going to work the next day, Bai Zirui rode a tricycle to look for Zaitanhou. When Zaitanhou saw that he was holding calligraphy and paintings, he couldn't wait to say: "Little boy, you won't get any famous calligraphy and painting, will you? Hurry up." Come let me!"

Bai Zirui said respectfully: "Uncle Hou, this is my visit to my father in Baoding yesterday. The painting I found in my mother's ancestral house feels very strange. I want you to help me grow my eyes."

After he finished speaking, he spread the painting out on the table. The scroll had just been opened halfway, and when he took a look at the tatters, his face showed displeasure.

"I said, boy, you are using such a fake to give me eyes, are you sure you are not entertaining me?" Poor Hou blamed angrily.

Broken Hou is worthy of being the second only to Uncle Guan, the admiral of the Nine Gates, an expert collector in the TV series "Under the Zhengyang Gate". Naturally, his eyesight is not good, and he can tell the authenticity of this painting at a glance.

Seeing the sullen expression on Broken Hou's face, Bai Zirui hurriedly said, "Master Hou, don't be angry, let me explain to you."

"Explanation? Okay! I want to hear what you have to say. You dare to amuse me with a fake painting. If you can't explain it today, don't ask my door next time." " Said the tattered Hou indignantly.

Bai Zirui said solemnly: "Master Hou, when I first saw this painting, I thought it was a fake copy of Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan Picture" copied by an unknown person. I was illuminated by the sun, and accidentally discovered that this painting has two layers of marks, so I came here to ask you to give me some advice."

After Patiently listened to Bai Zirui's explanation, his complexion improved, and he asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Bai Zirui said swearingly: "Master Hou, it's absolutely true! If you lend me some guts, I won't dare to lie to you."

Seeing the sincerity on Bai Zirui's face, Broken Hou looked down at the painting on the table, first looked at the axis of the painting, and commented. : "The sky pole, ground pole and shaft head of this painting are made of wood, but the material is too poor. It should be copied during the period of the Republic of China. I really don't understand how such a fake painting dares to invite People go to frame, um..."

As he was talking, his eyes suddenly showed disbelief, and he leaned over the painting to observe carefully, and exclaimed in his mouth: "This... This is the Beijing school's mounting technique! It's still the Xuanhe decoration technique, who can use it for nothing?" This method to mount this fake painting?"

Bai Zirui listened to Zatterhou's muttering to himself, like a monk Zhang'er who couldn't figure out what he was listening to.

Broken Hou observed carefully for a while, rolled up the scroll and said to Bai Zirui with a serious face: "Little boy, come with me! Go see a master of framed paintings, and let him help you uncover the true face of this fake painting."

He locked the door and Bai Zirui drove him in a tricycle to the Shijia Hutong in Chaoyangmen, where Ling Shuhua, a talented woman from the Republic of China, and Zhang Shizhao, the curator of the Museum of Culture and History lived here, so Shijia Hutong is called "one alley, half of China".

On the way here, Bai Zirui was already looking like a broken man. Ask him what kind of technique is the Beijing School of mounting technique that he mentioned just now?
After the tatters, he introduced the rivers and lakes faction of mounting ancient paintings:

To make a complete painting and calligraphy work more beautiful, as well as easy to preserve, spread and collect, it is inseparable from mounting. If calligraphy and painting are not mounted, it is not only difficult to appreciate, but also difficult to preserve. Only after exquisite mounting, In order to transform into a complete work of art.

The ancients also said: "Three-point painting and seven-point mounting", "The decorator is the master of calligraphy and painting", "The treasurer of calligraphy and painting must pay attention to decoration" and other related remarks.

In the development of painting and calligraphy mounting for thousands of years, due to the influence of techniques, regions, climate, environment and other factors, different schools have been derived from various regions, and roughly formed: Su School, Yang School, Shanghai School, Hunan School, Lingnan School, Huizhou School, etc. Different schools have their own characteristics, such as Beijing School, Jing School, etc., and now each school learns from each other and merges with each other, gradually forming the "Southern School" and "Northern School".

The northern school of mounting is the most typical "Beijing mounting", which emphasizes dryness and crack resistance, and inherits the general style of "Xuanhe mounting".When mounting various types of shaft mounts, small flagpoles are often added on both sides. This type of mounting system is based on inheriting the style of "Xuan He Zhuang" and innovated according to its own development needs. Its decoration Generally, it tends to be noble and gorgeous, with heavy texture, brocade forging edges, often multi-colored silk, and stunning swallows on the outside.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the level of Chinese painting and calligraphy was mounted in Suzhou, especially Qin Changnian, Xu Mingyang, Zhang Ziyuan, Dai Huichang, etc., were famous for a while.

During the Qianlong period, the Qing government’s House of Internal Affairs had a number of photographs of successive emperors that were urgently needed to be mounted. Jiangsu was recruited to call for mounting masters, and the governor of Jiangsu recommended Qin Changnian and four others to Beijing to undertake the task.

According to the northern climate, environment and people's aesthetic taste, Qin Changnian and other four people carefully created a unique style of Beijing mounting, which has been well received by many parties.

Therefore, Qin Changnian and others became the founders of Jingxiang. The main features of the mounted pieces are: thick, heavy, flat, straight, bright and brilliant colors, chic and generous styles, and the sound of the scrolls.

Southern school mounting is the southern genre represented by "Suzhou Mounting (Suzhou)". Because the weather in the south is humid, the southern school mostly uses lacquer shaft heads. It can protect the wooden shaft head from deformation and insects.
