Chapter 5 Jingshizhai Appreciating Treasures (2)

When Liu Shu was appreciating Yuan Mei's manuscript, he was a little different from Chen Sanyan. He stretched out his index finger and imitated the outline of the handwriting on the manuscript.

Seeing Uncle Liu immersed in calligraphy, Zhou Xuan asked in a slight sense of indifference: "Uncle Liu, do you think this manuscript is true or false?"

Uncle Liu frowned and glanced at Zhou Xuan, with a little disdain and contempt in his eyes.

Chen Sanyan smiled and said, "Little Luo, don't worry, Uncle Liu is identifying the authenticity of the manuscript."

Zhou Xuanqi said: "Can you identify the authenticity by drawing a brush or writing?"

Chen San's eyes were ashamed. Could it be that he was really misleading? Zhou Xuan didn't even understand the minimum common sense, so how could he recognize Yuan Mei's manuscript?

After thinking about it, Chen Sanyan still explained: "For the identification of manuscripts, the most common and most common formula is to start with the 'brushing technique'. The brushwork generally refers to the form and method of the points and lines in the middle of calligraphy and painting works. Chinese calligraphy has a long history of thousands of years. Brushwork is the most important soul and core in calligraphy and painting. The quality of brushwork is the most important criterion for measuring the level of calligraphy and painting art. Therefore, the authenticity of calligraphy and painting must first be reflected in the brushwork."

"Oh." Zhou Xuan didn't expect that there were still these particulars in calligraphy and painting. If he compared them with their professional ones, he would reveal his true colors.

Chen Sanyan said again: "Uncle Liu is distinguishing Yuan Mei's brushwork from the dots and lines of the brushwork. Calligraphy is related to a person's temperament and environment. It is of particular importance. "The end of the brush is steel and pestle, and the strength must be penetrated through the back of the paper". It refers to the power of the brushwork in the brushwork. This force must be restrained and cannot be exposed outside. It is said that the blue veins are exposed. The speed of calligraphy and painting is secondary. The main thing is the lightness, speed, turning, and pause of the brushwork. Some people pretend to be flying white to make the reader a move. In the term of evaluating painting, this is called "tightening", but in fact there is nothing in the brush. Identification of large paintings is like a mountain.

When painting large trees and long lines of clothing patterns, you should pay more attention to the brushwork. When painting large paintings, you must put the brush, that is, 'please put the brush as straight dry', but put the brush is not arbitrary, don't be confused by the "crazy qi" and "kehui" pretending to be stunning, that is, 'first to know that the original is subtle, not as mad as crazy Watson'. To identify fine brushwork with short lines, you must also see whether every stroke is strong and every stroke is home. Predecessors often use it as "like seals and ink pastors", "like ink paste painting sand", "spring clouds flow in the sky", "flowing water flows in the ground", "expressing vigorous in grace, and writing vigorously in the gracefulness", "sword embroidered with earth flowers, hidden in the middle, the caldera is green, and the outside is shining sharply', etc. to compare the brushwork."

After a few words, Zhou Xuan could only understand it, and it seemed clear or unclear.

Chen Sanyan talked about his experience in researching antique calligraphy and paintings, and he started talking endlessly.

"In terms of calligraphy, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people have regarded calligraphy as an artistic form that expresses brush and ink skills. They advocate metaphysics and are obsessed with lightness. The calligraphy style at this time was elegant and casual and light."

"By the Tang Dynasty, society was stable and economic prosperity, people thought, literati and scholars were heroic in spirit, unrestrained and regular and rigorous in calligraphy."

"In the Song Dynasty, the urban economy was developed, the citizens' culture was flourishing, the social literary style was very prosperous, the calligraphy style was stable and clear, gorgeous, colorful, novel and exquisite. Then, the Mongolian rule in the Yuan Dynasty was harsh, and the literati and scholars were suppressed. At this time, the calligraphy style was following the rules and could only 'go in and out of Xi and Xian, and cage the ancient and modern times'. The imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty were gradually becoming the only way for literati to enter the official position. In the imperial examination papers, the official documents courts were strict, and the continuous persecution of **, so the literati and doctors were conservative. The calligraphy style of this period was in the style of the Taige and Pavilions, with neat styles, symmetrical and graceful fonts, straight and round strokes, dull and restrained structures, dignified and elegant style, steady and strong."

Zhou Xuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that a simple question would cause so many things, both in terms of brushwork and in terms of age and dynasty. No wonder he couldn't practice calligraphy well, but he still really admired Chen Sanyan's extensive knowledge.

However, Zhou Xuan was more concerned about the authenticity of his manuscript, which was related to the huge sum of 175,000 yuan. He quietly asked Chen Sanyan again: "Boss Chen, your research on calligraphy and painting is so profound. Could it be that Uncle Liu is even better than you?"

His words were very selfish. If Chen Sanyan said that Uncle Liu was better than him, then the manuscript would have to be decided by Uncle Liu. I don’t know if it would be true or false. If Uncle Liu was not as powerful as Chen Sanyan, then I would feel much more at ease. At least Chen Sanyan had already said it was true, but Chen Sanyan didn’t expect the truth of his words.

Chen Sanyan smiled and said, "Uncle Liu is specialized in antique devices, followed by calligraphy and painting."

Zhou Xuan still understands the meaning of this sentence. He is good at antiques. Secondly, calligraphy and paintings are weaker. Chen Sanyan didn't say that Liu Shu's calligraphy and paintings are weaker than him, but the meaning expressed is.

Zhou Xuan calmed down a little and glanced at Uncle Liu. The old man had closed the manuscript, closed his eyes and said something, looking like the old landlords on TV.

After a while, Uncle Liu opened his eyes and raised his face, nodded and said, "It's the manuscript of the owner of Suiyuan!"

Zhou Xuan felt a stone in his heart and thought to himself, and he thought to himself, why did the owner of Suiyuan lose his schoolbag!

Liu Shu pointed to the manuscript and said, "The owner of Suiyuan has his own family for writing, as famous as Ji Xiaolan, and is known as the "Southern Yuan and North Ji". He advocates the "spiritual theory", so that the works he created are based on "true, new, and live". However, his poems mostly describe trivial matters around him, and many chants of wind, flowers, snow and moon. Some poems tend to be vulgar, especially in his later years. The manuscripts recorded in Jianzhai's supplementary manuscripts are mostly ghost stories, but they are not similar to the previous work "Zi Wushu". Later, some supplementary views on life are added. The value of the manuscript... It can be said that it is indeed precious, how much money was it bought?"

"One dollar!" Zhou Xuan stretched out a finger. He really didn't know Yuan Mei's name, but he was happy to hear Uncle Liu say that he was as famous as Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan still knew that there were so many TV series filming now that Ji Xiaolan changed his underwear and went to the kiln.

Uncle Liu said in surprise, "One dollar?" and then sighed, "That's really a bargain. However, I have been to the south for so long and have visited many street stalls to play in stores, but they are all kinds of fake goods, and there are almost no valuable things. It is indeed luck that you can find this manuscript. Judging from the current evaluation of the value of other manuscripts by the owner of Suiyuan, this manuscript is worth between 250,000 and 300,000."

After hearing the old man say this, Zhou Xuan was completely relieved. He was not greedy for manuscripts to sell more than tens of thousands of yuan. It would be best to accept it when it is better. Besides, this is also a surprise that fell out of thin air. It is important to be exchanged for cash. Besides, if you make all your money, why do others buy it?

Immediately, I smiled and held the manuscript in both hands and handed it to Chen Sanyan, saying, "Boss Chen, let's agree as usual."

Chen Sanyan also took it with pleasure and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhou is a cheerful person, so I won't talk much nonsense. Uncle Liu, I have negotiated with Xiao Zhou brothers to buy this manuscript for 180,000 yuan. Xiao Zhou will pay another 5,000 yuan to have a meal. Haha, I just happened to have two friends from Yangzhou who came to the south. Let's get together to chat next time and see what strange things they have."

Uncle Liu was very disdainful of Zhou Xuan's ignorance at the beginning, but after seeing that he later said the real value, Zhou Xuan was not greedy and raised the price again, and his impression of him was a little better. In addition, it seemed that Chen Sanyan looked at him a little differently, so his face calmed down a little.

In fact, this does not mean that Chen Sanyan deliberately lowered the price of Zhou Xuan. In fact, in the antique calligraphy and painting industry, private and public transactions are two concepts. Public transactions and auctions must be based on the rules and pay taxes to the state. If Yuan Mei trades this manuscript in private, it is about 170,000 to 200,000 yuan. If you get it, you may be sold for 300,000 yuan, or even higher. However, the commission, tax and other expenses of the auction house are also a considerable expense, so the price Chen Sanyan offered Zhou Xuan is not very low.

Chen Sanyan said again: "Uncle Liu, is there enough cash in the store? Pay the money to Xiao Zhou."

Originally, he wanted to open a check for Zhou Xuan, but firstly, Zhou Xuan was not familiar with him and had just met him. He was afraid that he would worry, but secondly, Zhou Xuan didn't seem to know about checks, so he simply gave him cash.

Uncle Liu went to the inner room and opened the safe, took 180,000 yuan, and put it on the table. He took another banknote detector and said, "Go to the banknote detector to see if the authenticity and number are enough."

Eighteen stacks of banknotes, ten thousand yuan per piece, and the seals of the bank are all on it.

Zhou Xuan was still embarrassed to check the money. After a while, Chen Sanyan's style and demeanor did not look like a treacherous person. Although he knew people and face but not the heart, he still felt that he didn't feel like him. He treated you openly, why did you have to be so petty? Besides, this wealth is indeed unexpected. If you don't meet Chen Sanyan, what's the use of picking up this manuscript? Maybe he would throw it into the garbage dump for a few days, and it would be worthless.

"I won't order, boss Chen, can you give me a bag?" Zhou Xuan said with a smile, then picked up a piece of money, tore the seal, and probably separated it from the middle, took the side that seemed a little more on the table, and said, "Boss Chen, this half is for meal money."

Chen San smiled and waved his hand. Uncle Liu brought another black briefcase and handed it to Zhou Xuan.

I took out my cell phone and looked at it. It was almost ten o'clock, but Chen Sanyan was still embarrassed to not go to the meal. Besides, it was a money he paid for. He ate 5,000 yuan, but he wanted to see what he had eaten. It was not a pain to the money, but he just wanted to see how they lived this life.

Furthermore, Chen Sanyan also said that his two friends had strange things to see. If Zhou Xuan was not interested in these things before today, he suddenly made a fortune from it. After hearing Chen Sanyan and Uncle Liu's introduction to calligraphy and paintings, he was actually trapped in the mysterious temptation of antique calligraphy and paintings. Although he knew nothing about this, it seemed that on this road, there was a man waving money in the misty place of the scene, waving money to him!
