In order to wish Hitler a happy birthday, Wang Jingwei and his wife bought jin Ergao's imitation of the ins and outs of "Hundred Juntu"

Part of "Hundred Juntu"

The life of Second Master Jin

Jin Er, an antique pedestrian honored him as Jin Er Ye, his name has long been forgotten. Legend has it that Second Master Jin was a direct descendant of a "yellow belt" (called "yellow belt" in the Qing dynasty, who grew up eating imperial grain. His predecessors were in charge of the Imperial Horse in the Qing Court's Interior Ministry.

Jin Er loved horses since he was a child, and when he grew up, he drew horses; when he read and learned literature, he could not write eight strands of articles, and he did not even pass the test for a show talent or a person.

In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (1900), The "Hundred Juntu" collected by the palace was stolen by the eunuchs, and Jin Er borrowed the "Hundred Juntu" to admire and copy. When the Republic of China was founded, the imperial grain was cut off. Jin Er had "the year of establishment", but he could not stand on his own,

It depends on the help of the "Clan Livelihood Maintenance Association". The Maintenance Council requested the Government of the Republic of China to allocate part of the wasteland of Tanglin and the Summer Resort to the imperial family as a place to make a living. Jin Er could not shoulder the burden, could not carry the basket in his hand, and he could not do the crop work, so he stayed in a dark room in an alley behind houhai Gong's palace, and set up stalls on the Shicha seashore to sell old goods and paintings he painted to maintain his life.

Jin Er's life was like this, and if he hadn't met a noble person, his whole life would have been like this!

The thrift shops and antique shops on the back door (that is, Di'anmen) Street are selling "knife and ruler goods", and there are antique dealers who specialize in counterfeit goods, of which Liang "Junzi" lives in Yanbao Xie Street, has no façade font number, and specializes in the business of buying and selling fake antique calligraphy and paintings.

One day around the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931), Liang went to Shichahai for a stroll, and happened to pass by Jin'er's stall, and the two of them chatted. Liang Mou squatted down to see that there were pairs of pastel dragon and phoenix bowls on the ground stall of Jin Er, and turned over to see that there was a "Guangxu Year System" red character square at the bottom. He said to Jin Er, "I don't think this is the Guangxu official kiln, it was burned by the people's kiln at the beginning of the Republic of China." Jin Er said, "This is my family's rice bowl, if you want to give me five yuan, I don't care whether it is a folk kiln or an official kiln." ”

There was nothing wrong with this, Liang Mou smiled, and then looked at the two flower and bird paintings on the ground stall, pointed to the painting and said: "These two paintings want."

It can sell for ten dollars, which is worth more than the pair of bowls. Jin Er said, "I painted the painting, but I can't afford to frame it, so I sell it like this, how much do you give?" Liang Mou couldn't help but stand up and look at this stall with his eyes, only to see that he was more than fifty years old, slender and tall, wearing a blue cloth coat, black cloth pants, pants with leg straps, wearing a dress with a packed head on his feet; high nose bridge, slender eyes, thin cheeks, his face seemed to be hanging with layers of ash, a little obscure, and his look seemed to be very tired and unable to lift his spirits. Liang Mou said: "These two flower and bird paintings are delicate and vibrant, good handwriting! Good handwriting! Jin Er hurriedly threw up his hands and said, "Compliments! Compliments! We can't paint flowers and birds well, but we love to draw horses. ”

Liang Mou said in a very professional tone: "It is difficult to draw a horse, it is difficult to draw a horse in a hundred states, walking, quiet, leaning, lying down, running, it is difficult to paint realistically." If you can draw a horse with a long hissing neck, it will be even more difficult for people to see and hear it. The palace collection of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu" was exhibited in the Wenhua Hall, and everyone called it an outstanding masterpiece with meticulous depictions and realistic forms, which is rare in the world. Jin Er said unceremoniously: "I have seen and copied the Painting of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu" that you mentioned. In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (1900), when the Eight-Power Alliance invaded Beijing, it was taken out of the palace and sent back to the palace. Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu" is delicately painted, and the hundred horses are different and realistic, but the appearance is not different, the shape is similar and lacks god! ”

Liang Mou listened to his tone and thought: Don't look at his unlucky appearance, the words are really extraordinary, is it bragging or do you really have two hands? He said politely, "Takami! Takami! Then he asked, "Sir, your last name?" "Exempt from the surname Kim." Liang shouted, "Second Master Jin! My surname is Liang. Please give me those two paintings of flowers and birds! Jin Er said, "You take it, I will give it." "Liang Mou is not good to ask the price again, Shun."

The hand took out five silver dollars from the money bag, smiled and said, "No respect, a little bit of heart, please accept it!"

Where did you live? Jin Er pointed with a finger in his hand and said, "Just live in that small alley." ”

Liang Mou said: "I thought that you would like to look at the "Hundred Juntu" you copied in your house, can I open my eyes?" Jin Er said, "Alas! Long overdue, you come to the cold house, I welcome, welcome! Liang Mou went to Jin Er's house and unfolded the large picture scroll of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu" copied by Jin Erye and watched it attentively. He saw that Second Master Jin's handwriting was superb, and thought that Second Jin was indeed a person with extraordinary skills and no ambition. He called him "Second Master Jin" and praised the painting, saying: "Your pen and ink convey the gods, your brilliant pen is brilliant, and the hundred horses have different looks and are vivid." Well drawn! Well drawn! Then he said tentatively, "How about you write this long scroll with your pen again?" ”

Jin Er said: "Painting and writing should be in a comfortable mood, life is stable, in order to be attentive, the pen is brilliant." This painting was painted more than ten years ago when I was living a prosperous and stable mood, and now I am running for a living, and I have no intention of making this long volume again. ”

Liang Mou said bluntly: "If you are willing to imitate Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu", I am willing to fund and support you, and 30 oceans per month is enough for you." Jin Er calculated in his heart that he used to be a small messenger in the Beijing government, and his monthly salary was 30 yuan.

Now he took 30 yuan to hire me to paint, but he couldn't agree immediately, but he also had to talk about the conditions, and said slowly and logically: "We are in the dark alley, eating and drinking." Widowed at an early age, life is unattended, and the years are difficult! ”

Liang Listened to this sentence and thought: I will give you 30 yuan a month to the ocean, and let me marry you a wife? But it's really long! Thinking about it again: If Jin Erruo drew Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu", it would be a lot of money, so he said gently and gently: "We first made friends, you are very frank." If you can really cooperate in painting "Baijun Tu", I will try my best to help you settle down. ”

In this way, the two discussed, for a period of three years, to copy two of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu". Pen and ink paper silk and pigments were purchased by Boss Liang and provided to Second Master Jin with 30 yuan of ocean per month as living expenses. The two sides issued a written note requesting that it be completed as scheduled.

In Beijing in the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931), the cost of living was very low, and 30 yuan was more than enough to raise a family of eight. Jin Er is a family of people living, and life is quite rich. So his food and clothing became exquisite again, and the style also came, and the neighbors called him "Second Master Jin". Later, with the help of enthusiastic people, Second Master Jin had a wife and a comfortable life. He concentrated on painting, and in less than a year, two imitations of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu" were painted, exquisite and meticulous, impeccable. He didn't hand over the paintings, and he still laid out the paper, as if he was still lying on the case. He was afraid that someone who had paid the painting beam would no longer give him thirty yuan per month for living expenses.

At the three-year deadline, Jin Er handed over the painting, and Boss Liang was overjoyed, and he paid an extra two hundred yuan in remuneration, which was considered to be the end. After receiving Jin Er's imitation of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu", Liang asked Zhang Jianxuan and Yan Shanzhi, who lived in the Guanyin Pavilion of Liulichang and the Southeast Garden, to drop "Chenlang Shining Gong Painting" on the scroll, write the inscriptions of the ministers imitating Zhang Zhao, Dong Bangda, Yu Min, and the five seals of Qianlong, and also asked the framed painting shop to decorate and frame according to the format and decoration style of the palace. When these things stopped, it cost less than 2,000 pieces of ocean, and it took more than three years to produce two imitations of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu" and wait for the opportunity to sell.

It is said that there is a collector in Beijing, Wei Zidan, who loves antique calligraphy and paintings, and has a lot of eyesight to appreciate famous calligraphy and paintings, he has collected them for many years, but he does not have The real works of Lang Shining in his hands, and he wants to get the horses painted by Lang Shining. Wei Zidan and Cui Zhenzhai's shareholder, Boss Zhao, were friends, and Boss Zhao relayed the news that Wei Zidan wanted to buy a horse painted by Lang Shining to Huang Tongwen, the manager of Cui Zhenzhai . Huang Tongwen went to the tobacco bag street to find Liang Mou, and from Liang Mou's hand, he took the imitation of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu" for a price of 3,000 yuan.

Huang Tongwen did the business introduced by the owner, can not tell lies, Wei Zidan is a person with eyesight to see calligraphy and painting, can only do real tricks

Tell him that this is a copy of Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu". Wei Zidan looked at the scrolls carefully and praised them, saying: "Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu"

It is a court scroll, which is more neat and dull in itself, and even more dull and lifeless after imitation; and this picture scroll is more angry

Bo, Marseille live! He asked who copied it, which painter copied it? Huang Tongwen explained the reason to him. Wei Zidan praised

This "Hundred Juntu" is a "fake race truth", which is more than enough, better than Lang Shining's painting of horses to stop at the shape.

Wei Zidan asked again, "Does this painter have a pen list in Rongbaozhai?" Huang Tongwen told him that the broken nobleman who copied Lang Shining's "Hundred Juntu" had died two months ago, and he had not hung up his pen, and this picture scroll could be called a masterpiece! Wei Zidan was very sorry, he said: "If this painter is alive, his paintings will hang out in Rong Baozhai with a pen list, and the brushwork is higher than that of the contemporary painter Ma Jin, who painted."

The horse is not as good as he draws, what a pity! Wei Zidan was optimistic about this "Hundred Juntu" and collected it for 4,000 yuan. Huang Tongwen made 1,000 yuan, very proud, to be honest, selling fake paintings can also make money, the premise is: it must be a fake game really good painting! Later, this painting went to the shanghai boss mentioned above!
