Although I feel uncomfortable, I can't be superficial. As a man, I still have this kind of demeanor. The three of them walked into the antique city together. Su Qing whispered in Tang Feng's ear: "Hey, you're lucky. No one asked about the Buddha statue. Now it belongs to you."

The police were a little conscience, and Tang Feng felt a little relieved. Although he was taking the fire, he did not suffer any loss. The three of them walked into the antique city and came to a larger calligraphy and painting shop. The store's name was well-known, called Pink Life. The two couplets and calligraphy paintings in the middle of the hall were even more commendable. The first couplets are: Green mountains and pens, and calligraphy and books are all in style. The second couplets are: Green water flows through the tips, talking and laughing, all of them are scholars. This is a gimmick, just like the ancients' promotion. Before the official asked, the yamen runners started shouting - majestic~~ No matter whether the plaintiff and defendant are fooled, I will scare you first. The purpose is to let the people who come in first integrate into this atmosphere.

The front half of the Pink Life Life store displays some low-end calligraphy and paintings, all of which are big goods, belonging to the category of mass production and are not worth a lot of money. The back half of the store is relatively high-end, like a calligraphy and painting exhibition, with a row of glass frames, and the prices of calligraphy and painting works inside are very high. Large antique stores are obviously different from small stores. Large stores clearly price tags, and bargains are generally prohibited. When looking at things in large stores, as long as the customers do not ask for the price or do not ask for the inspection of goods, the clerk will not take the initiative to disturb customers' tasting.

The so-called tasting cannot be used. The label next to it says, please do not touch it. Calligraphy and painting works are not like bronzes and porcelain. Guests can hold them in their hands and look at them over and over. Everyone needs to touch them for a few months. This painting can be made into straw paper. Especially expensive calligraphy and paintings, they must not only be dust-proof, heat-proof, moisture-proof, but also light-proof, insect-proof, and theft-proof. Precious paintings are not allowed to be used, and they are locked in the glass frame. Ordinary idle people will be invited to check the goods, and people are not willing to open the glass frame and take it out for you to see them.

Tang Feng stood in front of a painting, and Su Qing and Liu Yue also stopped. This is a portrait of Guanyin. The inscription reads: If there are more sentient beings than *, and they always recite respectful to Guanyin Bodhisattva, they will be free from desire. If there are too many anger and always recite respectful to Guanyin Bodhisattva, they will be free from anger. If there are too many ignorances, they will be free from ignorance.

The inscription is signed by Duke of the Khotan County of Zhenguan. This Duke of the Khotan County is Yuchi Yiseng, a painter in the early Tang Dynasty. He was a nobleman of Khotan in the Tang Dynasty. He was once awarded the Guard Officer and later inherited the Duke of the Khotan County of the Khotan County. This man is good at painting figures, flowers and birds, portraits, Buddha statues, murals, etc. The large paintings he made are upright and imposing. The brushes are tight and strong like flexed iron plates, and the colors are full of three-dimensionality.

Appreciating paintings is generally divided into three steps. First, it is to look at the painting itself, as well as the author's seal, inscriptions from others, the collection of seals, texture, size, decoration, etc. The ancient paintings and imitation paintings are different.

"What do you think about Miss Liu?" Tang Feng asked Liu Yue.

Liu Yue asked, "Does Mr. Tang want me to throw away the bricks and attract jade?"

"Of course not. I need Miss Liu's advice." Tang Feng said politely. He actually wanted to know what Liu Yue was here for, whether he happened to meet him casually, or wanted to buy it himself.

Liu Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Tang knows that excessive humility is pride, so you should talk about it first."

Seeing these two people pushing and blocking, Su Qing on the side couldn't help it. She said, "Don't be polite to you both. Madam, please give me first. Liu Yue."

"Okay, I'm just showing off my ugly face." Liu Yue said: "When you see this inscription, you don't have to read it anymore. It must be a fake."

"That's so simple?" Su Qing asked strangely.

Liu Yue turned to Tang Feng and said, "I believe Mr. Tang can see it too."

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Indeed, you must first try the store when you are shopping for antiques. Let's see how credible this store is and whether there are any fakes or fakes."

Although in the past few years, it is recommended that there are no counterfeits in a hundred cities and tens of thousands of stores, it definitely does not include antique shops. How many antiques were left in total by our ancestors, which is not enough for this overwhelming antique shop. Using inferior products as good products is considered a conscience venting, and counterfeiting is commonplace.

"Liu Yue, can you finish your words?" Su Qing had no choice but to ask Liu Yue to reveal the secret.

Liu Yue said: "The Bodhisattva Guanyin was called Guanyin at first, but it was called Guanyin after the early Tang Dynasty. This is because he wanted to avoid the word "Shi" by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. This Yuchi Yiseng was a painter in the early Tang Dynasty. The word "Shi" could not appear in his works, so after reading the inscription, there was no need to read it."

Tang Feng nodded, Liu Yue was not wrong. Since ancient times, there has been a national taboo in feudal society. The national taboo refers to avoiding the names of the emperor and Confucius, and the family taboo refers to avoiding the names of his ancestors. Whenever he encounters a taboo that should be avoided, in addition to directly deleting the names, he can also lack the pen or the words of the words, and only when he says it, he can change the original pronunciation.

Su Qing looked at the price of the painting at a price of up to 180,000 yuan, and said angrily: "It's so dark."

If you have never eaten pork, you should have seen pigs running. People who dare to play with collecting are not very professional, but at least they should understand the market. A pair of ancient paintings has thousands or eight hundred, but people don’t look at them. Modern people have this problem. They only choose expensive ones but not the right ones. Otherwise, who will sell those famous brands that are not of much quality but are outrageously expensive?

Su Qing pointed to a landscape painting opposite them with a price of up to 1.5 million yuan and said, "How is that one?"

After listening to her words, Liu Yue and Tang Feng walked towards the painting together. However, the two of them had very different purposes. Liu Yue's eyes were at the "Bird Singing in the Empty Mountain" that Su Qing pointed to, while Tang Feng's eyes turned to another ink painting next to "Bird Singing in the Empty Mountain".

This painting "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain" is a fine-brush color painting. "Color painting" is a professional term. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to color photos in the photo, while ink paintings are black and white photos. You get what you pay for. Its price is not unreasonable. The author's calligraphy and painting seals clearly contain four characters "Huating Sibai" symbolizing high prices. Huating Sibai is a seal of Dong Qichang, a painter in the Ming Dynasty. Dong Qichang's name is Xuanzai, and also Yuanzai; his name is Sibai and Xiangguang Jushi. Dong Qichang is from Huating, Jiangsu, which is now from Songjiang, Shanghai, so there are calligraphy and painting seals with the words Huating Sibai.

Speaking of Ming Dynasty painting, Dong Qichang's name is well-known. He was the most outstanding and influential calligrapher and painter in the late Ming Dynasty. Although Dong Qichang's character is outrageous and he is definitely a local bully. He even aroused local civil unrest because of his rebellious actions. In a society like China's obedient people, those who forced rebels must be extremely hateful. But this cannot erase his talent. Dong Qichang is talented, quick in writing, proficient in Zen, proficient in collections, proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting and theory. His paintings have a great influence on the painting world in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and have spread to the modern painting world, so his works have always been the targets of collectors at home and abroad.

When identifying ancient paintings, you often need to use them. You can use them in the exam. Generally speaking, you should first focus on the exam. From the perspective of eye-catching, this painting "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain" has clear ink colors, clumsy and elegant, elegant and elegant, mountains, rivers, trees, stones, smoke and clouds, soft and bones, twists and turns, and full of spirit, and it should be the authentic work. After the eye-catching, it should be verified. The first thing to be verified is the style of the times and personal style. This painting not only conforms to the painting style of the late Ming Dynasty but also conforms to Dong Qichang's personal style.

"Sir" said this, Tang Feng and Liu Yue looked at each other and smiled, because they said the same thing. When they heard someone greeting, the guy hurried over and asked politely: "What do you all three need?"

"Take this painting out and see!" This time, even Su Qing couldn't help laughing. Liu Yue pointed to Dong Qichang's "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain", while Tang Feng pointed to the ink painting, but the two of them spoke in unison. This was also good, at least Tang Feng and Liu Yue would not snatch it together.
