Dai Jin, a painter in the Ming Dynasty, was named Wenjin, and his pseudonym Jing'an, from Yuquanshan, and from Qiantang.

The painting in Hou Baoguo's hand at this time was called "Traveling in the Mountains".

This picture method combines the appearance, and the mountains and rivers are in the strengths of each family. Gao Jun is the main mountain close to Li Tang, and the stones are like Guo Xi near the nearby area. The strong straight pine trunk imitates Liu Songnian. The dense moss dots and bushes are taken from Shengmao, and the combination is appropriate and natural.

The overall momentum is both majestic and thick, lush and clear, reflecting the painter's pursuit of integrating the characteristics of the north and south landscapes, and combining masculinity and femininity into one.

In general, this picture can be regarded as a masterpiece in Dai Jin's later years and a masterpiece in his peak period, which can be represented by it.

So who is Dai Jin?

In his early years, he was a craftsman in gold, silver and jewelry, and later changed to calligraphy and painting. During the Xuande period, he was worshipped by the inner court and was appointed as the imperial edict in the palace. Later, he was released from his hometown because of slander and wandered around in the world.

He is good at painting landscapes, characters, flowers and birds, Cordyceps, and landscapes. He is good at painting landscapes, Ma Yuan and Xia Gui. He still abides by the Chen style in middle age. In his later years, he escapes from the path and is a family of talent. Since then, he has created the "Zhejiang School Painting" school and is the founder of its mountain.

In general, he is a master-level figure who can establish a sect.

His paintings had a great influence in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that they left a strong pen and ink person in the 5,000-year history of China. Although they cannot be compared with those of the painting saint Wu Daozi, they are by no means easy.

Dai Jin painted a lot throughout his life, and many of them are circulated in the world. Often every few years, several paintings of Dai Jin will be leaked and transferred to major auction houses.

In Hou Baoguo's impression, he remembered several pictures, such as "Climbing a High and Viewing the Far", ink and silk, and the final transaction price was 7.2 million yuan.

"The Picture of the Elderly" was sold for 6.32 million yuan.

"Bamboo, Stone and Chrysanthemum Picture", 9.59 million.

This is just an early and mid-term painting among Dai Jin's works. "Traveling in the Mountains" is one of Dai Jin's representative works, and its collection value is at least four or five times more than these paintings.

You should know that the "Nanping Elegant Collection Picture", which is the representative work of "Traveling in Guanshan", is collected in the Yanjing Museum. "The Land and Mountains and Thousand Miles" is collected in the Cleveland Art Museum in the United States. "The Picture of Returning from the Boat in the Wind and Rain" is collected in the Palace Museum in Taipei.

If you can be carefully collected by these famous Chinese and foreign museums, you can prove the value of your paintings.

And "The Picture of the Elegant Collection of Nanping", "The Picture of the River and Mountains and the Picture of the Wind and Rain Returning Boat", which are also one of Dai Jin's representative works, we can also infer the value of the value.

Based on his experience in the antique industry for nearly 20 years, Hou Baoguo inferred that the estimated value of this painting is 20 million to 30 million.

Hou Baoguo took the "Village and Mountain Travel" and turned his eyes to Zhang Kun: "What does Brother Zhang mean?"

Zhang Kun smiled bitterly on his face: "It's not interesting, it's just a reward."

"A gift worth more than 20 to 30 million yuan? This gift is really heavy." Hou Baoguo snorted lightly, looked at Zhang Kun, his eyes still.

Zhang Kun sighed lightly, and then half helplessly said, "Boss Hou, your gift is not light either."

Hou Baoguo's eyes were condensed and he said in a deep voice: "That's my little intention for Teacher Yao."

Zhang Kun curled his lips and said helplessly: "This is also the kind of return of Teacher Yao's kindness to you."

Hou Baoguo's mouth moved, but in the end, for some reason, he didn't speak anymore.

Hou Baoguo was silent for a while, and then said for a long time: "Then are the Tang Xinhua and Jiao Guoan?"

Hou Baoguo didn't say anything, but Zhang Kun nodded naturally.

"Give me an explanation. Although you are a disciple of Teacher Yao, Teacher Yao's things are not like this for you to destroy them." Hou Baoguo looked at Zhang Kun with a slight flash of fire, and his voice began to become slightly louder.

explain?

Zhang Kun looked at Hou Baoguo who was gradually showing his anger. He smiled for some reason on his face, and then said softly: "Because Teacher Yao said that he would never let his friends suffer."

"Those who can come to watch the ceremony today are all giving face to Teacher Yao, and those who give face are friends. Teacher Yao said that he never lets his friends suffer."

After hearing Zhang Kun's words, Hou Baoguo was silent for some reason. After a long time, Hou Baoguo's face no longer had anger, but asked softly: "What is Boss Tang's return gift? And Boss Jiao."

Since all this is said, there is no need for Zhang Kun to cover up anything. He said openly: "Boss Tang's set of Chen Mingyuan's purple clay teapots, and Boss Jiao's set of bamboo carved lotus crab pictures in the late Ming Dynasty."

Hearing the name Zhang Kun said, Hou Baoguo's mind almost instinctively flashed the estimated price of these two items.

Chen Mingyuan was a famous purple clay artist in Yixing during the reign of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. He has achieved great achievements in pot art and fine arts for hundreds of years. The purple clay teapots he produced are of high value. The price of a set of his purple clay teapots should be between two or three million.

Although I don’t know who the carving person was from the bamboo carving crab pictures in the late Ming Dynasty, since it was taken by Zhang Kun, or the things collected by Yao Zhiping are all the best products, and the value is at least one million.

However, Hou Baoguo was not saying anything about these two things. After a while, Hou Baoguo carefully rolled up the "Traveling in the Mountains" and put it in the paint cylinder to look at Zhang Kun.

"I won't talk about theirs, but I'll ask you to take back this "Guanshan Travel Map". Since you are a disciple of Teacher Yao, you naturally know that my relationship with Teacher Yao is far beyond what Boss Tang and Boss Jiao can compare."

"Also, Teacher Yao's collections do not require too many, but only for fineness. Every collection worthy of Teacher Yao's collections is a fine product. I hope you can cherish them."

Seeing Hou Baoguo carefully retracting the scroll from the paintblock, Zhang Kun shook his head gently: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't take back this "Guanshan Travel Picture".

Hou Baoguo's eyes narrowed, but Zhang Kun did not give him a chance to speak and continued: "Because this "Guanshan Travel Picture" is not just a return gift, but in fact it is part of Teacher Yao's last wish."

"Before my death, Teacher Yao specifically told me to give you this "Guanshan Travel Picture" if I have the opportunity. He said, I thought that although your Yulaifang was well-designed, I always felt that it seemed to be a shortcoming, but I couldn't find it before. Until my death, Teacher Yao suddenly flashed his mind and finally found that Yulaifang had a missing painting containing nature."

"Then the "Guanshan Travel Map" is very suitable, so when Teacher Yao died, he specially told me to find an opportunity to give it to you."

"This is Teacher Yao's last wish. You don't want me to be unable to accomplish it, right?" Zhang Kun said softly.

After hearing Zhang Kun's words, Hou Baoguo was stunned. After a while, two tears suddenly slid down from his eyes, and soon, the tears became more and more. Hou Baoguo, who was in his fifties, burst into tears in an instant.

Hou Baoguo grabbed the painting tube tightly with both hands, and then his eyes gradually turned red. After a while, he burst into tears. Hou Baoguo suddenly slowly sat on the ground at the gate of the Siheyuan, leaned against the gate, and sat quietly. He lowered his head to look at the antique painting tube in his hands, and finally couldn't help crying out loud.

Hou Baoguo, who was in his fifties and almost entered his old age, was sitting on the ground like a doll of a few years old, crying loudly.

The crying sounded sorrowful, like a river breaking a dam, and it was out of control.

Two years after Yao Zhiping passed away, the first person finally came to the world, crying from the bottom of his heart for Yao Zhiping's death.

Hou Baoguo came from the east and was named Yulin. He was a descendant of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and is now fifty-six years old.
