Chapter 66

Su mounting materials are well-selected, with various styles, old-fashioned and well-crafted, and exquisite mounting workmanship. It pays attention to the color matching of paper silk silk brocade, and pursues contrast and harmony in patterns and patterns. The overall style is elegant and clean, which fully reflects the regional characteristics and craftsmanship spirit of Wudi culture .

Su-mounting has a long history, with Suzhou as the center, and it is also called "Wu Mounting" because Suzhou was the state of Wu in ancient times.Its artistic characteristics are: the mounted piece is flat, soft, comfortable and straight, the inlay material and color are quiet and quiet, the decoration is appropriate, and the old is well-organized. The mounted calligraphy and painting give people a sense of freshness and elegance.

What they want to visit is the descendant of Qin Changnian, one of the founders of Jingxiang.Bai Zirui followed Zaitanhou to a house in the alley, he knocked on the door and shouted, "Is Carpenter Qin at home?"

Someone in the room responded: "Who is it? It's so impolite to yell?"

Then someone opened the door and saw the tattered Hou, and said with a joke, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be you, the tattered collector."

Poor Hou said nonchalantly: "Qin mounter, don't talk nonsense! I, a junior, saw a fake painting and accidentally discovered that there are two layers of marks in this painting. It is still your Beijing school's mounting method. There should be another painting hidden, so I came here to ask you for advice."

Bai Zirui saw that the person who opened the door and spoke unceremoniously to Po Lan Hou was a hale and hearty old man with gray hair who was about 50 years old.

When he heard the words of the tattered Hou, his originally kindly smiling eyes immediately became sparkling, and his spirits became more radiant, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Did you bring the painting? Let me take a look."

Poor Hou said with a smile: "I knew you would be itchy to find out after hearing it, so I personally delivered the painting to you."

The old man surnamed Qin said impatiently: "Then why bother! Come in quickly and let me see which senior from our Beijing faction wrote it."

After he finished speaking, he quickly opened the door to let Bai Zirui and Poorhou come in, and led them to the house. Poorhou and Bai Zirui followed behind him step by step. Poorhou introduced the identity of the old man surnamed Qin to Bai Zirui softly .

The old man’s name is Qin Zhenghua. He is a descendant of Qin Changnian, the founder of the Beijing School of Mounting Ancient Paintings. He has passed it down for seven generations.

Qin Zhenghua led the two of them into the living room of his home, first fetched a basin of clean water, washed his hands carefully and dried them, then took out three pairs of white gloves and threw them a pair for each of them. He also took a pair himself, and smiled at Bai Zirui Hehe said: "Come on... young man, help me open that painting and let me have a look."

On the rectangular table in the living room, Bai Zirui and Qin Zhenghua each held a painting shaft on one side and spread the painting to both sides, even though Broken Hou had told him just now that there might be another painting hidden in this fake painting.

But he looked at the fake painting of Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan Picture" copied by later generations. The expressions and behaviors of the characters are very rigid, and the brushwork is poor and artistic conception. It made him feel unsightly.

When the painting was fully opened and spread on the rectangular table, he put on a pair of reading glasses and began to carefully observe the mounting of this fake painting, muttering to himself: "This is indeed the handicraft of our Beijing School of framing, or is it Xuan Xuan?" kimono method."

He suddenly saw a very familiar mark on the mounting technique of the fake painting, and suddenly exclaimed: "How is this possible? This fake painting was actually mounted by my father himself!"

Hearing his exclamation, Poor Hou asked curiously, "Master Qin, what did you say? This painting was actually mounted by your father, Master Qin himself!"

Qin Zhenghua pointed to an imperceptible mark on the painting, and patiently explained to the two of them: "People in the mounting industry, every time a painting is mounted, there will be a person on the painting who can understand it. An imperceptible mark, the mark on this painting is the mark left by my father."

After hearing his explanation, Poor Hou and Bai Zirui both nodded, "Oh!", and Poor Hou said, "Then this fake painting was really mounted by Master Qin himself, and the bottom of the fake painting is very It may be that Tang Bohu's original painting "Li Duanduan Picture" is hidden, otherwise, how could Master Qin mount a fake painting by himself!"

Qin Zhenghua has already recognized that it was mounted by his father, but why did his father use such a complicated and expensive mounting method to mount such a fake painting? Is it really like the authentic Tang Bohu's "Li Duanduan picture".

Qin Zhenghua found a magnifying glass, carefully re-read the fake painting from beginning to end, and touched the material of the scroll with his hands. After more than 10 minutes, he put down the magnifying glass, took off the reading glasses, and sat down. The chair beside him frowned and said nothing.

He was really puzzled, this painting is a fake no matter how it looks, but the craftsmanship of his father's mounting is Xuanhe decoration.The materials used, whether it is sky poles, ground poles, wooden poles, paper tubes, shaft heads, etc., are all selected high-quality materials. The shaft heads used for propaganda and decoration before liberation are made of precious sandalwood.

What puzzled him was two questions. First, since the most complicated mounting process was used, why did he use these relatively poor materials.The second is why his father spent so much effort to mount such a fake painting. He had to figure out what state of mind his father was in when he mounted this fake painting.

Qin Zhenghua asked Bai Zirui: "Young man, where did you get this painting? Can you tell me about its origin?"

Bai Zirui replied: "My mother left this to me."

Qin Zhenghua continued to ask: "Young man, what's your name? May I ask how did Ling Tang get this painting?"

Bai Zirui replied in a deep voice: "The junior is called Bai Zirui, and my mother is..."

Bai Zirui narrated the ins and outs of this painting in detail, and inevitably mentioned the matter of his cheap mother Bai Yanqiu, but only concealed the fact that Bai Yanqiu collected a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings from the two families, and only said that she was in the tragedy. After that, when I went back to investigate the situation, I only brought out one painting from my husband's house, and passed it on to myself before I fell ill and died.

After listening to Bai Zirui's ins and outs about the painting, Poor Hou and Qin Zhenghua fell silent. They didn't expect such a painting to be involved in a tragedy.

Poor Hou murmured to himself, "Why is this so familiar? I seem to have heard of it somewhere?"

Qin Zhenghua thought for a moment and said: "So Bai Zhenshan, a famous calligrapher and painter who was famous all over the capital 30 years ago, was your grandfather. Back then, he and his in-laws were broken into by a group of rebels during the Mid-Autumn Festival party and robbed their property. With no survivors, this tragedy aroused great repercussions in the capital."

After being reminded by Qin Zhenghua, the Poor Hou also remembered the murder case that had been raging in the past, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the famous Bai Zhenshan was your little boy's grandfather, and her daughter was saved by your father in that military disaster. Survival is really a blessing in misfortune.”
