Chapter 217 Identification of calligraphy and painting

Cao Guoxiong didn't say much. He went straight to the bookshelf beside him, took out a picture from the vase on one side, unfolded the calligraphy and painting on the desk. Because of the age, the color of the calligraphy and painting was a little dark and old.

Although it was a little strange why Cao Guoxiong asked himself to help him see a calligraphy and painting, since Cao Guoxiong said so, Chen Ran naturally would not refuse. After Cao Guoxiong made way, he went to the desk and looked carefully.

In the line of antique appraisal, calligraphy and painting are called "soft films". The difficulty of its identification is almost the most difficult of the line of antique appraisal. Before the 1950s, the identification of calligraphy and painting was divided into three major schools, namely, "wangqi style", "Indian school" and "writing school".

The so-called Wang style refers to observing the charm of calligraphy and painting, and judging the authenticity according to the era style of calligraphy and painting and the personal style of calligraphers. The so-called printing school is to judge according to the authenticity of the letters, seals, etc. on calligraphy and paintings. The so-called biographic school is to find the book of the collector to record the work according to the imprint and inscription of the collector in the work.

The three schools have their own strengths and are not nearly perfect. It was not until modern times that the three schools gradually merged to form a perfect identification method.

That is to say, to identify the authenticity of a calligraphy and painting, in addition to identifying the era style and personal style of the work, it is also necessary to identify the style, postscript, seal and mounting on the calligraphy and painting, and to engage in the works of ancient famous artists who once identified and collected this calligraphy and painting.

However, whether each author's style or calligraphy seal is different, even the same author is different in youth and old age, and most calligraphers will copy early calligraphers in addition to writing themselves, which leads to the most complex and knowledge needed to identify calligraphy and painting. Many, to identify the authenticity of a calligraphy and painting, it is necessary to have a complete knowledge system. In terms of theory, pen and ink, paper and font changes, we must have an objective understanding and evaluation, so as to distinguish the authenticity of calligraphy and painting.

Chen Ran did not use the energy aperture, but completely relied on his ability to identify calligraphy and paintings. First of all, he naturally saw the style, but he saw it on the blank page on the left side of the scroll, covered with a large seal. Although it was a little vague, he could still barely distinguish the four articles of "Songxue Taoist" written above.

Almost thinking about it, Chen Ran knew who this Songxue Taoist was. Zhao Mengfu, a famous painter in the Yuan Dynasty and one of the four masters of regular script.

Zhao Mengfu was the 11th grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty. After Defang, the king of Qin, he experienced the changes of the Song and Yuan Dynasties all his life. Although he was a noble, he was not born at the right time. When he was a teenager, the Southern Song Dynasty had fallen like a building. He spent his time in ups and downs. In the Song Dynasty, he was not valued, but after the fall of the Song Dynasty, he was Yuan Shizu was summoned and reused. After his death, he was even posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Wei by Yuan Yingzong.

Zhao Mengfu was a very influential calligrapher in the early Yuan Dynasty and was the most prominent among the literati in the Yuan Dynasty. In later generations, some people listed him as the four masters of regular script, and Zhao's ability to achieve such achievements in calligraphy is inseparable from his ability to absorb the long punishment of others. What is particularly valuable is that most of the calligraphers in the Song and Yuan dynasties were only good at calligraphy and grassy, while Zhao Mengfu was able to study various bodies. Later generations learned Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, and Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy was very popular in * and Japan.

Zhao Mengqi has a lot of calligraphy handed down from generation to generation. Correspondingly, there are many forfeit products circulating in the market, which can be said to be diverse and versatile.

While Chen Ran was observing the calligraphy and painting, Cao Guoxiong sat in a chair and looked at Chen Ran with a smile. Now the more he looks at Chen Ran, the more he appreciates it. No wonder he has such an attitude.

At first, when he learned that Chen Ran was the young man who rescued his granddaughter from the car accident, although Chen Ran just happened to pass by, he still made him very grateful. Of course, at that time, it was just pure gratitude. After gratitude, he just wanted to wait for the young man to encounter difficulties. Give a hand support.

And when he learned that the young man who saved his daughter was also Chen Ran, his attitude towards Chen Ran was immediately different. At that time, if it hadn't been for Chen Ran's rescue, the consequences would have been unimaginable... He hadn't had time to repay his granddaughter and daughter in succession. Of course, it was not counted at the time of the Jade Sculpture Competition. Before he could repay the other party, he didn't expect that the other party would send him another big gift.

Although the position of the director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has not been determined, the result has been settled after a game. Unsurprisingly, the position of the minister is the only one, and the position of the minister can be determined so quickly is also related to the young man in front of him.

Although the other party is only a fuse, it is this fuse that kicks his biggest competitor out. It is not easy for him to sit in this position. After all, it is said that the old man of the Zhou family went to the capital to run for his son. Although the old man of the Zhou family retreated, he was on the backer. The force is also there. If you ask to come to the door, the Zhou family's backers will certainly not stand by, so his opportunity will almost be eliminated.

In a word, the young man in front of him is simply a blessing in his family.

Of course, Cao Guoxiong also suspected Chen Ran, but after investigation, that possibility was eliminated. Of course, the most important thing is that for him, the result is that everyone is happy, which is enough.

"Minister Cao, this Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy "Lanting Eleventh Trag" should be a copy." Chen Ran slowly tasted it and thought about it in his mind. His brain memory was better. Seeing this Zhao Mengfu calligrapher, the works and deeds he saw about Zhao Mengfu immediately appeared in his mind. Then he compared it with this calligraphy and painting, and the result came out.

Cao Guoxiong said without saying anything and said pleasantly, "You said this is a fake, so where is the fake?"

He asked this, but he wanted to test Chen Ran. The world only knew that he was in a high position, but he did not know that he was also very good at calligraphy and painting appraisal.

Chen Ran thought about his words, and then looked at Cao Guoxiong and said, "There are three reasons to say that it is a foreous product."

"Tpeak and listen." Cao Guoxiong's tone was indifferent.

"One, judging from the mounting of this calligraphy and painting. The mounting of various eras has its own characteristics, but this painting was made by the author Huang Qing's first year. It belongs to the court paintings of the Yuan Dynasty. The court paintings of the Yuan Dynasty are all framed by special people, with ancient jade ivory as the axis and the magpie wood brocade and blue sky as the core. The vertical axis in front of us is not only made of ancient jade ivory, but also the poetry hall. This Ming It seems to be an imitation Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting mounting style.

Facing Cao Guoxiong's examination, Chen Ran pointed to the calligraphy and painting on the table and said calmly: "Second, Dong Qichang once commented on Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, saying that Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy is familiar and vulgar, but he is saying that Zhao Mengfu's brushwork is mature and thick, beautiful and strong inside, and the words in front of him The painting is impetuous, revealing a faint domineering, and the ink color is also disordered and reluctant. The breath of the whole painting is not uniform, and it is obviously a fake.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ran smiled indifferently: "Of course, the most important reason for identifying it as a forgery is that this "Lanting Eleven Posts" is a unique book. The authentic work has appeared in Japan and was later brought back to China by Mr. Song, the collector. Now it should be collected in the Palace Museum."

Chen Ran's words, Cao Guoxiong couldn't help nodding repeatedly, his eyes were brilliant, and he also gave a thumbs up to praise him. You should know whether this painting is true or false. It's easy to say that you can also be confused. After all, it's either real or fake, but it's not easy to say such a thing. If there is not enough In terms of knowledge, it is absolutely impossible to say this endlessly, and every word is on the point. In addition, this calligraphy and painting is still extremely difficult to identify. When he got this calligraphy and painting, he almost got it.

Chen Ran has only appreciated such a moment and can say this comment, which can be called an expert in calligraphy and painting.

At this time, Chen Ran released an energy aperture to detect the past... As expected, the energy aperture detection did not respond at all to calligraphy and painting. This was completely a fake work created by a master of later generations.

Personally with his own eyesight, he distinguished that this calligraphy and painting is indeed a forged product, which undoubtedly gave Chen Ran a great satisfaction beyond words.

The reason is very simple. The identification of the authenticity of this calligraphy and painting is completely based on the antique knowledge he has now mastered, rather than relying solely on his own powers to judge. This feeling made him feel particularly satisfied.

At the same time, it also gave him the idea of systematically learning the professional knowledge of antiques. Although his identification level is not low now, after all, he is not from a professional class, a field of antiques, involving too much knowledge, history, literature, archaeology, art... and so on, just like ancient writing, It's his weakness. After all, his major in college is too far from the antiques. He didn't learn anything in school and was dropped out of school.

The road he wants to take in the future is bound to be in the circle of antiques, so there is no doubt that only by learning enough knowledge in this field can he go further.

After making this decision, Chen Ran also set a goal for himself.

Before Chen Ran said a few words to Cao Guoxiong, the door of the study was pushed open. Chen Ran and Cao Guoxiong both looked at the door, but they saw Ruoruo barefoot, leaned in and stood there, staring at Chen Ran without blinking. They wanted to come over, but they dared not dare to come over.

Cao Huiyao stood behind Ruoruo, pushed open the door of the study, and looked at Chen Ran full of expectation.

Chen Ran quickly walked over, squatted down, held Ruoruo in his arms, and whispered, "Ruoruo, do you still know me?"

If you are held in Chen Ran's arms, he will stretch out a pair of small hands and hold Chen Ran's clothes tightly, just like at the time of the car accident. His immature little face looked at Chen Ran in a daze. This is really heartbreaking. Chen Ran couldn't help hugging her tightly, hoping that this can Enough to give her some sense of security.

"If you see it, uncle came to see you. Tell him if you miss him..."

Cao Huiyao stood beside Chen Ran, gently patted Ruoruo on the back, and said softly.

"I want..."

Ruoruo looked at Chen Ran in a frenzy way, suddenly opened his mouth, just said a word and closed his mouth, but he hugged Chen Ran's head, kissed Chen Ran's cheek, looked at her mother, and then leaned his head against Chen Ran's arms, as if he was going to sleep...

Cao Huiyao, who looked at this scene, was stunned and then cried with joy. You know, during this period, she would not say a word except to call her mother, let alone make such an intimate action.

wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand and wiped away the tears. Cao Huiyao looked at Chen Ran and Ruoruo in his arms with a smile.

Cao Guoxiong, who sat aside, also looked at this scene with relief. He just looked at it, but suddenly felt that his daughter stood with the young man in front of him, looking like a family of three, but in an instant, he shook his head and threw the idea out.

If you lie in Chen Ran's arms and fall asleep directly. When you fall asleep, you also hold Chen Ran's clothes. Chen Ran can only hold her all the time. Maybe you haven't slept peacefully for a long time. If you sleep for a long time, you don't wake up at lunch. After all, Chen Ran can't stay here all the time. You can only wake her up and coax her. It took a long time for her mother to hold her, but she still grabbed the corners of Chen Ran's clothes. Chen Ran waited until she fell asleep again before she got out.

When leaving the Cao family, Cao Guoxiong asked Chen Ran how he was going to develop next, hoping that Chen Ran could stay in the provincial capital for development, but Chen Ran drifted his eyes to the south.

My hometown in the sky.

This is the answer Chen Ran told Cao Guoxiong.

You have to eat, and the road has to walk step by step. Now that you have to rush into Zhongdu, I'm afraid you don't even have the ability to protect yourself. The water of the provincial capital is deep, and there are too many giant crocodiles lurking under the water, and there is no space to spread their wings. It's better to honestly lay a good foundation in Tianzhong City.

Only when a strong fortress is built first can the eagle strike the sky!

When Cao Guoxiong heard Chen Ran say that he wanted to return to the sky, Cao Guoxiong was a little disappointed, and he regretted to tell Chen Ran that the situation in the sky was very complicated, even if he could not intervene, not only he, but also the Zhou family was helpless.

As a result, Chen Ran still insisted on returning to the sky. Just because his roots were there, he had to fatten his roots before he could let the roots extend in all directions.

Of course, before leaving Zhongdu, Chen Ran still has to go to a place where there is a mystery waiting for him to uncover.

This mystery is definitely Master Miao.
