super golden hand

Chapter 461 The Grandmaster

"The pen is only one or two, and the image has been answered!"

Mr. Peng next to Mr. Zhong sighed softly, and his hands were shaking slightly. Whether it was the magical effect of the painting or the artistic conception of the painting in the water, he was very impressed.

"The master is the master. According to legend, Wu Daozi painted five golden dragons in the Datong Hall of the Qingxing Palace. After the dragons were completed, the scales and armor were like real ones, flying faintly. Whenever there was heavy rain, smoke would be produced. It seems that the rumors are not all exaggerated. Seeing this painting, we know the greatness of ancient art!"

Dean Huang also sighed, he was talking about the fact that Wu Daozi toured the Jialing River at the behest of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who really loves calligraphy and painting knows about this matter.

According to legend, when Li Longji heard the rumors about the beauty of the Jialing River, he asked Wu Daozi to go to Sichuan and draw pictures of what he saw and bring them back to Chang'an.From this point alone, it can be seen that Wu Daozi already had a very high status at the beginning, and Li Longji was indeed very kind to Wu Daozi in historical records.

After Wu Daozi went to Jialing River and came back, he didn't bring back anything. Li Longji was a little angry and asked him why he didn't draw what he saw.

Wu Daozi's answer was also very simple. He said that he had already kept these things in his heart, and he could draw them whenever the emperor wanted to see them.

Li Longji liked Wu Daozi very much, but at that time he was also pissed off by Wu Daozi's big words. It happened that the Datong Hall had just been built and the murals had not been painted on the walls, so Li Longji directly ordered Wu Daozi to put him in the main hall immediately. On the wall above, the landscape of Jialing was painted. If the painting could not be done, he would be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Some ministers were still worried about Wu Daozi because of this, thinking that Wu Daozi must be finished this time, Li Longji's order was said in front of the ministers, so it is naturally impossible to go back on his word.

After Wu Daozi got the order, he just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it. Afterwards, Wu Daozi concentrated on picking up his pen, and within a day, he painted the beautiful scenery of the Jialing River for three hundred miles on the wall of the palace. The landscape is as real as it is Usually, Li Longji was stunned after seeing these paintings.

Wu Daozi's painting was so good that even the emperor was shocked, and Wu Daozi was naturally not punished by the emperor.

In the murals, Wu Daozi portrayed the Jialing River vividly and vividly. The three hundred miles of the Jialing River is one step at a time. The scenery is different and the scenery is wonderful.I can see the beautiful mountains and clear waters, the green bamboos dripping, the torrential river is ringing, the bamboo rafts and rafts are flowing down the river; the white sails, the fisherman's songs answering each other, and the Chuanjiang chant are full of ears. , every frown and smile, there are articles.

Later, the painter and general Li Sixun also painted on the walls of the palace, but it took him several months. For this reason, Li Longji also lamented: Li Sixun's work for several months, Wu Daoxuan's work is only one day.

After painting the landscapes of Jialing, Wu Daozi became very active in painting, and painted five golden dragons on the pillars of the main hall. These golden dragons would blow clouds and mist every time it rained, becoming a scenic spot in Datong Hall and deeply loved by the people. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's favorite.

What Dean Huang said was this allusion, which was also recorded in Tang history, but many people in later generations believed that this was a deliberate exaggeration, and it was impossible for the painted picture to really turn clouds and fog.

Even Dean Huang himself had the same thought before seeing this painting.

Mr. Liu and the others nodded silently. At first they were a little surprised that Dean Huang said such words. Dean Huang's words were equivalent to admitting that this is Wu Daozi's authentic work.

But after thinking about it later, several old experts were all relieved, even they themselves agreed that this is the authentic work, they have never seen any painting with such a high artistic conception, it is the authentic work of Yan Liben in Li Yang's hand, compared with the one in front of them This painting is far inferior.

"To see the authentic works of a generation of masters, this life is enough!"

Elder Zhong sighed heavily. He is the oldest, almost eighty years old, and his health has not been very good recently. To be able to see the authentic works of the painter in his later years, Elder Zhong really felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Liu Gang looked at several experts with a smile, and became more proud in his heart.

The old man once said that Li Yang has the potential to become a grandmaster. Back then, Liu Gang didn't know much about the concept of a grandmaster. Now he finally understands why there are so few grandmasters and why it is so difficult. It is really not easy to become a grandmaster. .

However, Liu Gang believes that no matter how difficult it is, Li Yang will one day become a master. In the future collection circle, Li Yang will have the status of the originator.

"This man should be Tang Minghuang!"

Dean Huang stirred the water surface with his hands, and the picture that had just stopped immediately moved again, which made several old experts admire.

"Yashan is the name of a mountain near ancient Chang'an. It is a royal garden. Li Longji is the only person who can have such a dignified person in the royal garden!"

Old Liu nodded with a smile. The identity of the person in the painting was not written in the painting, but several old experts are well-informed people, so it is not difficult to guess who the person in the painting is.

"I guess, Wu Daozi played a trick again. Li Longji asked him to paint. He drew a four-dimensional image, but it can be displayed with water. Li Longji will naturally be more happy when he sees it!"

Mr. Peng answered with a smile, and Dean Huang and the others nodded in agreement. Wu Daozi did have such a character. It can be said that Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was both angry and in love with Wu Daozi. This is true in history books. records.

"But how is this drawing paper made, and how can it have such a magical effect?"

Mr. Peng shook his head again, and turned his body sideways to try to see if he could see the ancient painting on the bottom of the basin. He was also very curious about the magical effect of this painting, but unfortunately he couldn't see the bottom of the basin even if he turned his body sideways. drawing paper.

"I have read an ancient book. In a minority tribe in Sichuan, there used to be a plant called Huawu grass. This grass will turn into white mist when it meets water. I think this drawing paper is likely to be The most important material is this kind of grass, and the ink is also mixed with Huawu grass, showing such a magical effect together!"

Dean Huang said slowly, Dean Huang's knowledge is very rich. If Li Yang heard Dean Huang's words, he would definitely admire him very much. The material of the drawing paper is something that Li Yang really wants to understand.

"I've also heard of Mist-Mist Grass, but this kind of thing is gone now. I thought Mist-Mist Grass was also a fictional thing made by the ancients!"

Mr. Zhong then said that he had traveled around, even been to Sichuan, heard the local rumors, and deliberately searched for this miraculous plant, but in the end nothing came of it.

"Whether it is Wuwu Grass or not, I'm afraid we need to do a technical appraisal, but this magical art has been lost. It's really a pity!"

Dean Huang sighed softly again. The ancient people’s self-preservation has indeed caused a great obstacle to cultural inheritance. If there was no such idea in ancient times that this kind of craftsmanship should only be kept by oneself, there will still be many strange arts in China today.

Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhong, and Mr. Peng were not talking, they silently looked at the ancient paintings displayed in the basin, savoring the artistic conception drawn by the painter's brush.

This painting is actually not complicated, it completely has the style of Wu Daozi, concise and clear, and the characters are alive and moving.

Especially the man suspected to be Li Longji, who is the best painted, his eyes can even turn with the fluctuation of the water surface, giving people that majestic feeling.

"Now I finally understand why after Wu Daozi painted "Hell in Disguise", people who saw it didn't dare to eat meat. His paintings are so real!"

After a while, Mr. Liu sighed again, "Hell in Disguise" is also one of Wu Daozi's masterpieces, and it has been recorded in detail in "East View Yu Lun".

According to legend, this painting was painted by Wu Daozi in Jingyun Temple. According to the monks of Jingyun Temple, all people who have seen this painting changed to do good deeds out of fear of the crimes they usually committed, not even the meat. So much so that the butchers near the temple couldn't sell anything, and finally they were forced to disappear.

Moreover, this painting is not like the gloomy forest of knives and oil pans in the traditional paintings of gods and monsters at that time, but pure gods and ghosts.Being able to scare others like that with the image of a character is enough to show how strong Wu Daozi's skills are and how realistic his paintings are.

"With this painting, no one can question the title of Master of Painting!"

Dean Huang also said that Wu Daozi has no handed down works. Most of the murals he painted in the past were damaged in history, and the remaining paper and silk paintings also disappeared in the inheritance.At present, the only one in the Forbidden City is still very controversial. Many people say that the painting is a copy of the Song Dynasty.

Dean Huang has refuted this point of view before, but after seeing this painting in the water, he also understood that the one in the Forbidden City is indeed an imitation, and compared with the artistic conception of the real Wu Daozi calligraphy and painting, that one is far worse. Far.

The four old experts stood there like this, constantly changing positions and carefully admiring the ancient paintings in the basin. From time to time, some people reached out to wave the water surface to see the dynamic picture.

Every time I saw the characters walking around, several old experts would sigh. Wu Daozi can think of using water to turn a solid painting into a dynamic painting, which can be called a peerless genius.

The smile on the corner of Liu Gang's mouth was very strong. He stood there straight all the time, thinking in his heart what the old man looked like when he saw this painting, whether it would be as exaggerated as them.

In the VIP room, Li Yang was silently watching the trick box in front of him. At this time, President Huang and the others had already been out for an hour.

This trick box is more troublesome than he imagined, just now because of an accidental mistake, he had to start over, but this time Li Yang learned the lesson of impatience, and made more detailed calculations before pushing the wooden grid every time.

In the trick box in front of me, the four pictures are four kinds of flowers, namely lotus, orchid, chrysanthemum and peony.

The patterns of the flowers were originally very simple, but they became more complicated after they were dispersed. The pictures on some wooden grids are very similar, and it is impossible to tell which part it is in the painting if you do not distinguish carefully, which also increases the difficulty of deciphering.

Fortunately, the mechanism box is well preserved, and the lacquer paintings on the wooden grid are still very clear. If the paintings are a little damaged, Li Yang dare not have any guarantee of success in deciphering them.

Xiaoyu is still in Zhengzhou now, and her mother just came here for a physical checkup, and she won't be able to go back until late in the afternoon. Xiaoyu will try her best to code when I go back today, but I'm afraid it will be very late, and I can't guarantee Xiaoyu's update.

If it can't be changed today, it will definitely be made up tomorrow.
