    Chinese painting, referred to as "Chinese painting", is one of the traditional plastic arts in my country.

    Traditional Chinese painting has no definite name in ancient times, and it is generally called Danqing.  Traditional Chinese painting is a form of painting that mainly uses brushes, soft brushes or fingers to paint pigments or ink colors on silk or rice paper. It is one of the four arts of "Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting".

    There are categories of Chinese paintings such as figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, and boundary paintings; there are technical forms such as fine brushwork, freehand brushwork, outline, coloring, and ink and wash;

    [1] "Antique Shop" couplet

    Liu Jixin and Ji Xu came to the antique calligraphy and painting shop on the street.

    The storefront of this antique store is not too big, and there is not much decoration outside the storefront. There are couplets on both sides of the store¡ª¡ª

    ? Grab the world's best products,

    Read all living things in the world.

    Walking into the store, the eyes suddenly light up, the inside and outside of the store make people feel completely different.

    Directly facing the door is a two-meter-high wooden screen with exquisite patterns carved on it, which is very valuable at first glance.

    Going around the screen and looking around, it's even a bit dumbfounding.

    There are mahogany shelves on the walls on both sides of the shop, and there are large and small ceramic products on the shelves. In the center of the shop, there is a stone tool, which looks like a water tank and a cup for drinking.  The strange thing is that there are only two goldfish in the stone vessel, one red and one black

    Seeing this, Ji Xu felt that the shopkeeper here was really funny, why only two fishes, one red and one black, were raised in such a big tank?  But Liu Ji understood the mystery of this, he smiled at Ji Xu, and reminded: "You, you have to be careful."

    Looking directly in front of the store, there are two mahogany pillars on the left and right, just like those in temples and temples, with a knife and a sword hanging on the two pillars.  Hanging on the pillar on the left is a large black wooden knife, about one meter long, with a green jade pendant hanging on it; while on the pillar on the right hangs a copper coin sword, which has copper rust  The copper coins are strung into the shape of a sharp sword with red threads. The sword is about a foot long. Although the two ornaments are not as sharp as those real swords, their craftsmanship is unparalleled.

    Look again at an incense table placed between the two cylinders. In the center of the incense table is something that is half a foot high and covered with a red cloth. There are several plates of fruit in front of it.

    The shop owner greeted him with a smile. He was an old man in his sixties and looked very elegant. "What do you two young masters want?"

    Ji Xu said: "I want to find a high-quality calligraphy and painting. I don't know if the old man has it?"

    The old shopkeeper said: "Then you have come to the right place. I have the works of the four great masters of contemporary painting and calligraphy [Zhao Mengfu, Wu Zhen, Huang Gongwang and Wang Meng.] The two of you sit for a while, and the old man will come when he goes.  "Speaking, the old man walked into the inner room.

    Just when the old shopkeeper went in to look for paintings, Liu Ji picked up an astronomy book and started to read it.  For books, Liu Ji has a photographic memory.

    After a while, the old man came out with the painting in his arms. Seeing Liu Ji concentrating on reading the book, he said, "If my lord likes it, I will give you this book."

    Liu Ji replied: "The book is already in my chest, what use is the book?"

    The old man didn't believe it, so he took a book to verify it, and as expected, he immediately became respectful to the young man in front of him.  The old man put down the book and said to Liu Ji: "This is Zhao Mengfu and Wang Meng's, please read it first, I will go to the other two."

    One of these three paintings is Zhao Mengfu's "Autumn Colors of Magpies and Flowers", and the other two are Wang Meng's "Hermitage in Qingbian" and "Reading in Spring Mountain".

    Ji Xu opened the calligraphy and painting, asked Liu Ji whether it was true or false, Liu Ji identified and evaluated

    After a while, the old man took out three more paintings, one was Huang Gongwang's "Nine Peaks and Snow", and the other two were Wu Zhen's "Shuangcypress Ping Yuan" and "Fisherman".  Liu Ji asked about the price, and the old man replied one by one, but Ji Xu felt that the grade was not enough.

    Liu Ji asked the old man: "Old man, can you take out your treasure of the store, so that Wan Sheng can feast his eyes?"

    The old man shook his head and said: "The things of the old man's store are not calligraphy and painting, but Chinese jade."

    Liu Ji said affirmatively: "Old man, what he said is wrong. You have a pair of calligraphy and painting that is a rare treasure, but you dare not express it to Xiaosheng." The old man's face was shocked.

    Liu Ji went on to say: "Old man, you can rest assured that you only bought this item for Xiaosheng's favorite, and you will not tell others, let alone tell others where you got it."

    The old man thought for a while, and whispered in a low voice: "I do have something, wait for the old man to take a look."

    Ji Xu looked at Liu Ji in surprise, and asked in a low voice: "How does my dear brother know that heLater, "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival" was involved in the Jinren area.  "

    "It was Zhang Gongyao in the Jin Dynasty who used poems to inscribe the postscript earlier." Liu Ji pointed to the postscript poem in the painting:

    "Cars and horses on the thoroughfare are noisy, it is the first year of Xuanhe; the Hanlin presented the painting book on that day, and the scenery of Taiping is being passed down; Shuimen went to the east to meet the Suiqu, and the fish scales in Jingyi were not as good; Laoshi was always full of rings, so I know it has changed today.  Ruins; Chu drags Wu Qiang thousands of miles away, bridges south and north bridges are full of wind and smoke; in exchange for a dream of prosperity, the flute and drum towers are like a side.

    In the poem, there are not only exclamations about Zhang Zeduan's unknown reputation at that time, but also reflections on the social reality of vicissitudes and prosperity.  The poems are fluent and catchy, and can be recited or recited.  "

    Liu Ji pointed to the other inscribed poems and said: "The postscript poems written by Jin Ren Wang Fu and Zhang Shiji are each composed of a seven-character poem.

    Wang Zhen's poem goes:

    The songlou wine market is full of fireworks, overflowing the city of Guotian with millions of families; whoever turns desolation into weeds, the Weiyuan dictatorship is a traitor;  Fengyan.

    The poet expressed his own opinions, and attributed the reason for the loss of prosperity in the Song Dynasty to the power of treacherous officials.

    Zhang Shiji's poem cloud:

    The rainbow of the painted bridge lies on the Bianhe canal, and there is no wind and smoke on both sides of the river; the eyes are full of rubble, and people still find pearls; the prosperous dream is broken, the two bridges are empty, and there is only the east of Bianshui;  In the emerald smoke.

    The poem uses a contrasting technique to remind people to learn the lessons of history, and through hard work, the pearls can be recovered and the dream of prosperity can come true.  "

    The old shopkeeper became more and more appreciative of Liu Ji, because he learned a lot of knowledge that he didn't know through Liu Ji's explanation.

    Liu Ji narrated the inheritance of this painting: "In the first year of Jingding in the Southern Song Dynasty [1260], after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival" was included in the secret palace.  Noble official, he secretly sold it to someone else for the custodian, and has since disappeared" Liu Ji changed his voice and said, "But I don't know how this painting got into your hands?"

    The old man saw that Liu Ji had done a lot of research on this painting, and he was afraid that Liu Ji would go to the government to report it, so he said: "I am also selling it for someone else, and the seller wants 10,000 taels of silver.  I won¡¯t take a single penny, but I¡¯ll give it to you at the price you paid!¡±

    Ji Xu hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, old man, for fulfilling everything." He quickly paid the silver taels, and went back to the guild hall with "baby".  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
