Chapter 167
"Ink and color on paper, 29 cm in length and 6 cm in width. On the upper right of the painting is a five-character ancient poem titled by Qian Xuan. Wu Xingqian chose Shunju. "In the center of the painting is the title of a poem by Emperor Qianlong (Hongli) of the Qing Dynasty. The words "Shan Dwelling Picture" in the Jinshi seal script of the Ming Dynasty are at the beginning of the framed sprinkled gold paper on the front of the scroll. On the back of the scroll are Qiu Yuan, Huang Gongwang, and Zhang Yu from the Yuan Dynasty. , Gu Ying, Zheng Yuanyou, Yao Shou, Yang Xunji and others in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Yirong in the Qing Dynasty wrote poems and postscripts. The most notable is that Yao Shou wrote poems, postscripts and notes in the same year, as many as 98 times. There are thousands of characters in Cao, Xing, and Li scripts."

"What is even more surprising is that there are more than 300 seals of collection and appreciation on the painting, which is rare among paintings of all dynasties. Among them, there are 29 squares at the beginning and front of the water, 60 squares on the body of the painting, and 235 squares in the middle. There are [-] squares between the water and the postscript, and the transmission process of the picture scroll can be clearly seen from the postscript and the seal alone."

……

Hand scroll is a style of banner in traditional Chinese painting mounting.Because it is held in the hand and unfolded sequentially, it is called a hand scroll, and because it is relatively long, it is called a long scroll, and because it is viewed horizontally, it is also called a horizontal scroll.Hand scrolls are mainly composed of four parts: "Tiantou", "Introduction", "Painting Heart", and "End Paper".The so-called Chinese calligraphy and painting hand scrolls leave a blank space in front of the paintings when they are mounted, just like the sub-pages in the book cover. The length is generally two tenths of the paintings, and you can write on them, because when you open the scrolls First of all, it is the first time to see it, so it is called Yinshou. Generally speaking, it is framed with Song brocade or silk, and the rest is made of pure white rice paper. , the interval is two to three inches, which is the water barrier, which is the division of the scroll painting into "paragraphs".Coloring refers to the use of color and coloring in traditional Chinese painting.

Wan Hua listened to Fang Ming say these contents like a few treasures, and there was an expression of admiration on his face.The words Fang Ming just said involved some numbers, and it was extremely difficult for him to say this casually.

Especially considering Fang Ming's age, it was even more difficult to do this.

"These things, especially those poems, postscripts, inscriptions and seals, etc., can't be seen on the hand scroll in front of you, but why do so many people think it is Qian Xuan's painting after appraisal?"

This is the most strange thing about Fang Ming. If the Pixiu on his right hand did not respond, he would definitely say that the painting is fake. The problem is that his ability has responded, so it is impossible to directly say that it is fake. .

Of course, the appearance of Pixiu may also appear to be the painting chosen by Qian, but in fact it is not his, but by another famous painter, so it is worth money. Of course, it is also possible that the painting was chosen by Qian.

The current problem is how to determine whether it was Qian's choice or someone else's. If it was Qian's choice, what about the one in the museum?These problems are one after another, even if they are entangled together like a mess, it is impossible to start.

"I've had a lot of people appraise it. Judging from the painting style and technique, this painting was indeed chosen by Qian, but..."

Wan Hua didn't finish his sentence, but Fang Ming understood that his problem should be the same as his own.

"The painting should be chosen by Qian, but the question is why there are two such paintings? This is too... too unreasonable..."

As Fang Ming was talking, his heart suddenly moved, and he remembered that his brave ability had repaired the inkstone. This ability has not been used since it was discovered, and the reason was that he was worried about the sequelae. It's like it's cracked.The painting in front of him is complete and there is no damage, so there is no need to repair it. What he thought of was that the supernatural power can release silk-like functions: if his supernatural power finds something that needs to be repaired on the painting place, it means that there is a problem with this painting!
Although he didn't know if his idea was true, but thinking of it, Fang Ming lightly pressed his right hand on the mountain on the upper left of the screen, and at the same time gently closed his eyes.

"Fang Ming, you..."

Wan Hua was taken aback, and opened his mouth subconsciously, but immediately took it back. Although he didn't understand what Fang Ming was doing, it was obvious that he used a special method for identification, and he must not be disturbed.

The study room became quiet, and only the slight breathing of the three people could be heard. Wan Hua and Ding Hao's eyes were on Fang Ming, especially on his hands: Fang Ming's hands didn't stop there when they pressed the painting, but It is moving slowly. If you look carefully, you will find that this movement is not blind and aimless, but moving along the lines outlined in the painting. If it is not that Fang Ming does not have a pen in his hand, it will definitely make people I think he is painting.

"What is this doing?"

Wan Hua frowned slightly. He remembered that Fang Ming had done this before, and he didn't find anything at that time. Could it be that he could find it this time?

Ding Hao was also watching seriously. Although he couldn't understand it at all, since he had made up his mind to learn the knowledge of antique appraisal, he would not let go of any such opportunity. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it. Just ask again when the opportunity arises.

Fang Ming's hand was very steady and did not move at all. It seemed that he was just "touching" the painting normally, but he was the only one who knew that a tiny supernatural power was extending from the index finger of his right hand, seeping into the drawing paper. , slowly "moving" forward along the painting.

I don't know if it was his own illusion, but Fang Ming, who closed his eyes, seemed to see the painting on the table in his mind, and his supernatural ability turned into a white line and seeped into the painting, Slowly move forward along the lines drawn by the painting itself. If the lines drawn by the painting are likened to roads, my ability is like a vehicle running on the road.

Gently exhaling, Fang Ming worked harder to concentrate on controlling his abilities. At this moment, he already knew that his idea was feasible: if there was no "road" for his abilities, or if he said " If the "road" is blocked, then there must be a problem with the drawn lines. At that time, you can study it carefully.

It was very smooth. At the beginning, Fang Ming felt that it was very smooth. When his ability extended on the drawn line, it was as smooth as driving a Hummer on an empty highway.

"Is there nothing wrong with this painting?"

However, as soon as this idea appeared, Fang Ming immediately felt that his ability was blocked by something. This feeling was like a road suddenly blocked by something, and there was no way to go.

"Is there a problem here?"

Fang Ming slowly opened his eyes, looked at the picture, and found that the fingers of his right hand were pressing against a hill on the picture.

"what happened?"

Wan Hua had been looking at Fang Ming, and when he saw him open his eyes, he couldn't wait to ask.

"There must be a problem here."

Wan Hua looked at the place Fang Ming pressed his finger on, and said with some disbelief, "This place...is there a problem?"

"Well, yes, I touched this painting with my fingers just now. There is nothing wrong with the front part. It is very smooth. It should be drawn in one go. For example, it is like flowing water. Down, there is no barrier in the middle, but it is different after arriving here, this fluency is destroyed... This feeling is like... like being cut open here forcibly."

He used a supernatural ability, but this cannot be said, so Fang Ming simply said that he touched it himself, so that Wanhua would not doubt it.

"Really?"

While talking, Wan Hua took out a high-power magnifying glass from the cabinet next to him, and went closer to look at it carefully.

The study became quiet again. Fang Ming didn't care about waiting for Wanhua for the time being. He immediately saw a glass of water on the sofa and drank it. Feeling a little exhausted, after drinking the water, he just sat down on the sofa and rested.

Time passed minute by minute, and it took more than an hour for Wan Hua to put down the magnifying glass in his hand and walk over.

"How is it? Mayor, is there something wrong with that painting?"

At this moment, Wanhua admired the painting beyond measure. After getting the painting, he had other masters who looked at it with a magnifying glass countless times. They were worried whether the painting was spliced ​​together, but they found nothing. It can be felt by hand, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

"Yes, the painting is assembled, but the workmanship is quite clever, and the creases of the mountain are used to start. Although we have seen it with a magnifying glass before, we have ignored that place. If you didn't point it out Come on, I purposely used a magnifying glass to look at it, or I wouldn’t be able to see it at all.”

Fang Ming walked to the table and found that Wanhua had already pasted a line on the painting with post-it paper, and from this line, it could be seen that it really followed the mountain and water on the painting as Wanhua said just now. The lines at the creases of the class are spliced ​​together. This kind of place is where the ink is, and it is difficult to see if the craftsmanship is experienced.

It seems that this is why the Pixiu on the right hand is only in half.

The splicing part of the painting in front of him happened to cut off the whole painting, Fang Ming knew that this should be the reason why his Pixiu only appeared in half.

"I have a guess, that is, this painting should still be selected by Qian, but it is just a remnant, for example, the draft in the process of painting, later generations got it somehow, and there are two paintings, so they are put together One, and only in this way can it explain why the painting style and technique of this painting are completely selected by Qian, but it is not the one that the museum saw."

Wan Hua nodded. He felt that Fang Ming's statement should be valid.Painting and painting cannot be done in one go, and the situation of waste paintings sometimes appears during the painting process. If someone gets two such waste paintings and puts them together into one "good" painting, it can be explained Why is there this painting in front of me?

"Well, yes, you have a point."

After Wanhua finished speaking, he checked the time and found that it was already seven o'clock in the morning, so he smiled and said, "Before I knew it, I stayed up all night. Let's go, I'll treat you to breakfast."

Respect is worse than obedience, Fang Ming did not refuse but went out to have breakfast with Wan Hua and Ding Hao - after a busy night, he also consumed a lot, how could he care about being polite?
