Chapter 167 The Authentic Artifacts of Bada Shanren

 A layer of special cotton cloth was puffed over the glass display cabinet, and Chen Yu slowly unfolded the painting.

If it were his own paintings, it would naturally not be so troublesome, but the objects belong to others, so you must be treated with caution.

The painting is a scroll, with ink and paint on silk, about 70 cm in length and 45 cm in width.

The ancients summarized four steps to identify ancient calligraphy and painting, namely, to observe the charm, to examine the circulation, to recognize copy imitations, and to identify paper and silk.

Because the ancients had many paintings without any signs and seals on them in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people nowadays had to add a seal when identifying calligraphy and paintings.

Ancient paintings are mainly divided into silk and paper. Paper is to paint on paper, which can be known as the name suggests.

When it comes to silk, many people don’t understand.

Silk is a silk fabric processed through spinning processes such as combing, pulling, stretching, and twisting. It can be understood as a kind of fabric that can be painted on it or used as fabric for clothes.

The content of Song Bo's painting is very simple. On a huge dead tree with branches, there is a fat bird with a hunched neck and hunched back.

The bird's feathers are very fluffy, and the dead branches are very thin. The fat bird stands on it and seems to press the branches off at any time.

The fat bird's expression was very strange. At first glance, the fat bird looked very angry, but when you looked closely, the fat bird's oval eyes were tightly pressed against the circles of the eye, but rolled its eyes.

The expression of arrogance and disdain is full of innocence.

There is also a huge rock under the tree, and a few dead grass swings in the cracks of the rocks in the wind. What is interesting is that this rock is different from the stones in reality. The huge rocks on the painting are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and it seems that they will fall in the painting at any time.

This painting has no name, but two lines of running script poems: "Print thousands of paintings horizontally and vertically, but there are not many ink dots and many tears dots."

The whole painting has a simple brush and is not complicated at all, but it is very vivid and vivid, with a sense of tranquility and indifference and a sense of loneliness and bleakness.

There are two seals on the right side of the painting: a red seal with a clog-like shape, and a "Zheng Enjoy" red seal with a pictographic font.

There is a signature and signing for the crane shape "March 19th".

"Why are the bird in this painting rolling its eyes? It looks like an angry bird? It's fun to make an emoticon package." Seeing Chen Yu and the others come out, Li Huiyun also came over. After looking at it for a while, she was immediately amused by the fat bird in the painting.

"Nizi, if you like this painting, I'll give it to you!" Old Song said generously.

Li Huiyun waved her hand quickly, "Old man, I just look interesting, I dare not ask for your stuff."

"Nizi, you have a good vision. I don't have a granddaughter, but there is a granddaughter who has just been in the freshman year. If he is older, he will definitely recruit Xiao Shen as his grandson-in-law. I didn't expect you to get ahead." Old Song looked quite regretful.

Li Huiyun's cheeks flushed when she heard this, but she was also eloquent, "Even if you have a granddaughter, you will definitely not be able to marry Qi Nan."

Old Song asked curiously: "Where do you start with this?"

Li Huiyun raised her head and said confidently: "Because Qi Nan only likes me."

"Forehead?"

Old Song was stunned at first, and then immediately burst into laughter.

"Okay, when you two get married, remember to post to me. I'll have a drink of this wedding."

"no problem."

Li Huiyun walked to the reception room with a smile, brought a chair for Lao Song, and then stood beside Shen Yu, quietly watching him identify calligraphy and paintings.

Chen Yu's mind is all on the painting now. The only disadvantage of this painting is that it is too broken. Perhaps it is bitten by insect-eaten rats, and it is broken and gives people the feeling that it will turn into a pile of waste paper at any time.

Chen Yu used his brains. Perhaps this painting had been hanging on the wall of that family. Because it was too broken, it was bought by the people who were doing the game, but the people who were doing the game did not look carefully, and then Song Bo accidentally picked up the bargain.

Of course this is a hypothesis. It is very likely that after the game-making person received the calligraphy and paintings, he did not realize that it was a miss, so he was shocked by himself.

"It turned out to be the original work of Zhu Da, one of the four monks. Uncle Song really missed this time!"

When Chen Yu was still working in Baoyuxuan, he once spent 170,000 yuan to collect a genuine copy of Zhu Da's "The Lonely Crow Picture of the Cold Forest" and then sold it for a full five million yuan, making 4.83 million yuan for the store at once. This is because the painting is too small, only about three-fifths of the painting Song Bo has made.

Many people are not familiar with Zhu Da (dā), but if you talk about Bada Shanren, many people will know.

But some people will also confuse Bada Shanren with his admirer Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics.

There are eight people in Yangzhou, namely Jin Nong, Zheng Xie, Huang Shen, Li Yi, Li Fangying, Wang Shishen, Luo Pin and Gao Xiang.

There is only one Bada Shanren, which is Zhu Da.

The Bada Shanren roughly means "I am the most important in all directions and corners, but nothing is greater than me."

When signing the painting, he often writes "Bada" and "Shanren" in a vertical way. The first two characters look like the word "cry" and "laugh", and the last two characters look like the word "zhi". When you cry, you will laugh and cry.

Zhu Da, whose real name is Zhu Tong, his courtesy name is Ren'an, and his nickname is Bada Shanren. He was a famous painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He was a master of freehand painting.

Later, the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, as well as the modern masters such as Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, and Pan Tianshou were more or less influenced by them.

The paintings of Bada Shanren are good at landscapes with profound artistic conception, flowers, birds, fishes, insects, and various animals with rolling eyes. The paintings he paints are often not clingy to the method, and they take a different approach. There are not many strokes of landscapes, and the flowers, birds, ink and wash dots, and the image is unique.

The closest teachers Dong Qichang, the far away masters Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, Guo Xi, Mi Fu, and Huang Gongwang and Ni Zan from the four Yuan dynasties.

It was also influenced by famous artists in the Ming Dynasty, such as Shen Zhou, Chen Chun and Xu Wei's freehand paintings.

Bada Shanren was born in an extraordinary way. He was the 17th son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, the ninth generation grandson of Zhu Quan, the King of Ning, and the real royal family.

He was talented and could write poetry at the age of eight, painted green mountains and clear waters at the age of eleven, and could write small regular script of the Mi family when he was a child.

Although it is a royal family, it can be called a family of scholars.

His ancestor Zhu Duoshi was both outstanding in poetry and painting.

His father Zhu Moujin was good at painting landscapes, flowers and birds, and was also the leaders of many families such as Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Zhou Zhimian, and Lu Zhi.

My uncle Zhu Mouyuan was also a painter, and he also wrote "The History of Paintings".

When the Ming Dynasty fell, Zhu Da was just nineteen years old. Soon after his father passed away, he felt extremely depressed and sad. He pretended to be deaf and dumb, and fell into a monk's name. He finally became a master of the history of painting.

The crane-shaped symbol on this painting is actually composed of the four characters "March 19th" to express the deep affection of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the 19th day of the March 19th day of the Jiashen period is the death of Emperor Chongzhen.
