Play treasure master

Chapter 635
"Hold on."

Yu Yao then took out the picture of "Shangguan Zhou" drinking alone under the Taibai Moon, and unfolded it in front of Tan Xinding, "Is it this one?"

"Yep!"

"Brother Tan, this painting is an imitation. A little girl came to ask for a place, so it was detained."

"Imitation? Call it a place?" Tan Xinding's surprised expression was also in place.

Although he knew that Tan Xinding should know, Yu Yao still briefly talked about it.

"In Jiangzhou, you dare to come to Mr. Yu's place to make a show!" Tan Xinding waved his hands, "But it's no wonder, because she is not someone in the antique shop after all! It's not surprising if you don't know, Mr. Yu has a lot of people."

"The past is the past." Yu Yao smiled.

"In this way, as for me, the most important promise is that I said I would accept it, and it must be accepted. Although the owner of the consignor is unruly, I can't be as knowledgeable as a little girl. For this painting, I will follow the agreed price at that time. , take it away from Mr. Yu!"

Yu Yao lit a cigarette, "Brother Tan, when you agreed at the time, it must be based on the price of the real thing; now it's 'turned' into a fake painting, why bother?"

"Mr. Yu doesn't know that the owner of this little girl was introduced by a friend of mine, and she has an indirect relationship. It doesn't matter if it's money or not, you have to save face, right?"

Yu Yao got up and took a few steps, "Since brother Tan said so, if I ask for your money again, wouldn't it be a shame for you?"

"This? What did Mr. Yu say?"

"No, although I'm not as rich as Brother Tan, it's really useless to keep a fake painting. And Brother Tan came to the door in person, I have to give this face."

Tan Xinding then gave way again, but finally accepted.

After accepting it, Tan Xinding didn't intend to leave, but after chatting a few more words, he picked up the topic and asked, "Mr. Yu's appreciation of calligraphy and painting is so good, I must have seen many treasures of calligraphy and painting in major museums. few."

"Brother Tan won the award. If you want to talk about the knowledge of calligraphy and painting, I am not as extensive as Brother Tan."

"How can I afford this? But, when it comes to the treasures in the museum, I went to Shanghai this time, and by the way, I went to the museum to see "Gao Yi Tu". It's really amazing!"

Yu Yao was taken aback for a moment, "Brother Tan is talking about the remnants of the Seven Sages?"

"Gao Yi Tu" is a famous Tang painting, not a complete work, it is a fragment of "Seven Sages in Bamboo Grove".

Sun Wei, the author of "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove", was a famous artist in the late Tang Dynasty. He is best known for painting water, and he is also known as Zhang Nanben, another Tang Dynasty painter who was good at painting fire.

But in fact, Sun Wei is also very good at characters, ghosts and gods, as well as pine, graphite and bamboo.

"The Picture of Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove" was created after the Anshi Rebellion. The general environment at that time made the literati a little escape from reality and seek a kind of relief from poetry, wine and literature; this is a bit like the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The main body of "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove" is the seven sages, all sitting on the "carpet", with book boys serving them, and trees, banana stones, and utensils around them.

The most commendable feature of this painting is the depiction of the eyes of the characters. Even those who don't know how to paint can easily see the characteristics of these seven sages who are arrogant, unconventional, and indulge in the pastoral.

It's just a pity that there are only four sages left in the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove": Shan Tao, Wang Rong, Liu Ling, and Ruan Ji; the other three: Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, and Ruan Xian. This part of the scroll has been lost.

This is only a fragment of the four sages, also known as "Gao Yi Tu", which was first hidden in a museum in Shanghai.

"Yes." Tan Xinding answered Yu Yao's words, "Have Mr. Yu seen it?"

"No, I've only read the albums, and I haven't seen the real thing in the museum." Yu Yao replied.

"Actually, looking at the album, you can see it more clearly than in the museum, especially the inscriptions and seals." Tan Xinding sighed, "On this fragmented scroll, there is an inscription and postscript of Sima Tongbo of the Ming Dynasty at the back of the scroll, and there are paintings of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Lianzhu seal of 'Xuanhe Zhenghe', the inscription of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and the seal of the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty."

"It's clear, it's clear, but Shen Yun can't be seen. It's the same as the imitation painting. No matter how clever the imitation painting is, it always checks a little bit on Shen Yun." Yu Yao smiled slightly.

Tan Xinding couldn't help being taken aback, but then smiled heartily, "That's right. This remnant scroll has been passed on in an orderly manner, and now it's in the museum, so it's impossible for there to be fakes."

It is uncertain when the "Three Sages" part of "The Picture of Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove" was lost, but it is certain that the orderly inheritance of its fragment "Gao Yi Tu" is certain.

It must have been collected by the Inner Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty and Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and then drifted away. It may have been collected by the royal family in the Ming Dynasty.In the early Qing Dynasty, it was owned by Liang Qingbiao, a collector, because his collection seal was left on it.

Later, "Gao Yi Tu" entered the Qing palace, which can be found in "Shiqu Baoji". The records of "Shiqu Baoji" are very detailed, which is consistent with what is now in the museum; that is to say, at least before entering the Qing Palace, it is already a fragment.

There is also history to check the flow of this painting out of the Qing Palace. During the Republic of China, Pu Yi, who was still in the Forbidden City, gave it to Pu Jie in the name of "Imperial Gift"; it flowed into the market soon after.

The person who first got this painting was an "acquaintance" introduced earlier - Jin Bosheng.

This is the only handed down painting of Sun Wei, a painter of the Tang Dynasty. In the end, it ended up in a museum in Shanghai.

Yu Yao looked at Tan Xinding at this time, "I don't know if the lost scroll of 'Three Sages' was broken from the whole painting, or it was destroyed."

"I think it is unlikely to be destroyed." Tan Xinding pondered, "This reminds me of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". Even if it is burned and divided into two, it is still a treasure."

Yu Yao nodded, "I also think that "The Picture of Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove" has been circulated among the people for a long time in different historical periods. If someone particularly likes the three sages, it is not impossible to cut them out and keep them secretly."

Tan Xinding was startled for a moment, then shook his head, "This is a waste of money."

Yu Yao didn't respond, but Tan Xinding sighed again, "If the incomplete 'Three Sages Picture' can surface today, it would be a rare treasure!"

"It's been so many years, I'm afraid it's hard to find." Yu Yao replied.

Tan Xinding thought for a while, and suddenly lowered his voice, "To be honest, Mr. Yu, we have been looking for rare and famous paintings lost in history, and these fragments are still one of the key points."

"Oh? Do you have any clues?" Yu Yao's heart was shocked, but he asked casually.

"There are quite a few." Tan Xindingfu raised his voice again, "But it's not an easy task. If I can succeed, I will definitely ask Mr. Yu to hold my eyes!"

Yu Yao hurriedly waved his hands, "Brother Tan is serious, you can't take it seriously, but if you can really invite me to watch it, that's really my luck."

After Yu Yao finished speaking, he lowered his head and lit another cigarette, taking a deep breath to calm down his fluctuating emotions.
