"Huai Su everyone has not sold wine, and hangs a pot in the pine all day long. Grass Saint desires to become crazy, and it is really worth painting into the picture of a drunken monk. - "Title Zhang Monk Drunken Monk Figure".
introduction
I believe that everyone has learned or heard the allusion of the idiom "finishing touches" when they were young. It is said that during the Southern Dynasty, there was a very famous painter named Zhang Shengxuan. Once, the emperor ordered him to paint for the walls of a temple. Zhang Sangsu painted 4 lifelike dragons on the walls of the temple, but did not paint the eyes of the dragon. The crowd felt that without eyes, the dragon always lost a little charm, so they asked Zhang Shengxuan to paint the dragon's eyes. Zhang Said that if you paint your eyes, the dragon will fly away. People didn't believe it and insisted that he paint his eyes. In desperation, Zhang Shengxuan had to take up a pen to paint and paint the dragon's eyes, but suddenly lightning and thunder, the wind was fierce, and the two dragons with eyes actually flew away.
However, the things to be said today have nothing to do with Zhang Shengxuan himself, but with the paintings of his son Zhang Shanguo. There is a passage in the "Records of Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties" that records Zhang Shanguo, which is the earliest written record about him. According to the records of the "Records of Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties", Zhang Shanguo, like his father Zhang Shengxuan, had a strong painting technique, and the works he painted could be comparable to his father. Moreover, Zhang Shanguo had a great influence on later generations of Chinese painting, especially in terms of painting style.
Because Zhang Shanguo's real works are not very many, there has always been a lot of controversy about the authenticity of his paintings. No, there used to be a very interesting story about Zhang Shanguo's paintings. A few years ago, a noblewoman from Guangdong brought an ancient painting with a history of 1400 years from her collection to the treasure hunting program to identify the experts. The story we are going to tell today takes place in the process of this treasure hunt.
The noblewoman who went to treasure was called Shi Qiulin, a painter in Guangdong who usually liked to paint. In addition to her love of painting, she is also very interested in antiques, antiques, paintings and other objects in the history of our country, and has collected many precious antiques. In particular, the ancient calligraphy and painting can attract shi Qiulin's attention more, because she herself is a painter. The ancient paintings that Shi Qiulin brought to the program to identify this time are the most precious collections she claims to be, which is said to be the paintings of Zhang Shanguo, the son of Zhang Monk, and they are authentic.
Regarding how the painting came to her hand, At first, Shi Qiulin did not elaborate. I only said that I was traveling to Japan to collect wind, and I saw it by chance. Because she also studied antique calligraphy and painting, she saw at a glance that the painting was extraordinary, so she bought the painting at a high price. Shi Qiulin bought this painting for two purposes, one is to collect, and the other is to make a general investment, and she wants to wait for the painting to appreciate before selling it.
Listening to Shi Qiulin's description, the experts of Jianbao were also very interested, waiting to see the true appearance of this painting. If it is really Zhang Shanguo's real handiwork, then it is not an exaggeration to say that this painting is worth a city. However, when the expert carefully observed the painting, he said: "This is a fake, it is likely that it was copied by later people." Shi Qiulin was very confused, and the expert explained the reason.
There are two main reasons for the experts, one is that the painting paper is damaged, suspected to be artificial, the purpose is to make the painting look more like an antique; the other is that there are three stamp clays on the painting, which can be seen from the three dynasties of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, according to the end of the ink clay. The age difference between the three ink clays is much different, but the cinnabar color on it is similar, and it may even be the same, so experts say that the painting is a fake.
However, Shi Qiulin was dismissive of the expert's explanation, laughed a few times, and then asked, "Do you know where this painting came from?" Originally, this painting was originally collected in the "Consulate" in Japan. It should be said that there is a neighboring museum in Japan, which is a well-known museum in the world of antiques collection. It is an authoritative collection of Chinese cultural relics in Japan, which contains many famous Chinese antique calligraphy and paintings, cultural relics and antiques, etc. As a result, it was once regarded as the collector's authority in the world of antiques. In other words, the cultural relics that come out of it have been "determined" to be true.
Although the painting of Zhang Shanguo in Shi Qiulin's hand is made from the famous "Neighbor's Pavilion" in Japan, experts say that even if there is evidence that the painting is from a consulate, this does not mean that the painting from the Neighbor's Pavilion must be true. Shi Qiulin, who has lost trust in experts, said that he could not accept the statement that the paintings were fakes, and when he left, he said that he would continue to find authoritative experts to identify and prove that his paintings were not fakes.
epilogue
Everyone who likes to collect antiques wants what they have in their hands to be genuine, but sometimes, what we believe in may also be fake. It's like Shi Qiulin said that her paintings were made from a consulate in Japan and is an authoritative museum in the antique world, but this does not mean that the paintings in her hands must be real. In turn, experts are convinced that the painting is a fake, and not necessarily correct.
