    [1] "Antique Shop" couplet

    Grab the world's best products and read all the phenomena of all beings in the world

    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 no excessive decoration on the outside of the store. There is a couplet on both sides of the store: "Look at the best products from all over the world, and see all living beings 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.

    [2] "Title Zhao Mengfu Quehua Autumn Color Picture" [1] Qianlong. Poetry

    When looking at Tianshui in the past is a picture,

    ? Do not believe that famous mountains can be beautiful;

    Today, when I climbed Jicheng City and looked at the two mountains,

    ? At the beginning, who explained this picture.

    The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

    He is an old man in his sixties and looks very refined, "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]. If you two sit for a while, the old man will come when he goes."  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: "This book is already in my chest, so why do I need it?"

    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 gentleman put down the book and said to Liu Ji: "This is Zhao Mengfu and Wang Meng's. You read it first, and 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, and asked Liu Ji whether it was true or not.

    Liu Ji pointed to Zhao Mengfu's inscription on "The Picture of Quehua Autumn Colors" and said: "This is a large painting painted by Zhao Mengfu in December of the first year of Yuan Zhen, named "The Picture of Quehua Autumn Colors". It depicts  The autumn scenery of Huabuzhu Mountain and Que Mountain in Qizhou [now Jinan]. The painting environment is clear and peaceful, showing a quiet and leisurely pastoral flavor. Looking at the handwriting of this inscription and postscript, it looks like the handwriting of Taoist Songxue"

    After a while, the old man took out three more paintings, one was Huang Gongwang[2]'s "Nine Peaks in 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: "Old manThere is one thing, waiting for the old man to take a look.  "

    Ji Xu looked at Liu Ji in amazement, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that my dear brother is really good at calculating? How do you know that he has a rare treasure here?"

    "Every shop has rare things, but the more 'rare things', the more they come from different ways. Therefore, if you are not a person of integrity, the shop owner will generally not make it clear." Liu Ji smiled and said, "  Brother Kaiduan, when you entered the door just now, didn't you notice what was on the incense case?"

    "What? I really didn't notice."

    "It's a box for painting scrolls. What kind of valuable box needs to be enshrined on the incense table? It must be the treasure of the town house!"

    Ji Xu nodded frequently to express his approval

    Notes

    [1] "Magpie Blossom Autumn Color Map"

    In the TV series "Strategy of Yanxi Palace", in order to show his favor to Yingluo, Qianlong rewarded Yingluo with the "Autumn Colors of Magpies and Blossoms" in his collection, but unexpectedly it was transferred to the Queen Mother

    "The Picture of Quehua Autumn Colors" depicts the autumn scenery around Huabuzhu Mountain and Que Mountain in Jinan, Shandong.  Since the birth of "The Autumn Colors of Que Hua", it has become the most valuable painting and artwork related to Jinan, and it has also become synonymous with Jinan.  Mention this painting, people will naturally think of Jinan.

    There are many inscriptions and seals of collectors on "The Autumn Colors of Que Hua".

    The author wrote the inscription in the painting: "The father respects the father, and the people of Qi. Yu Tong defended Qizhou, dismissed from office and came back, and said the mountains and rivers of Qi for the sake of the public. Duhua Buzhu is the most famous. It was seen in the Zuo family, and its shape is steep and peculiar.  Standing, there are those who are so strange that this picture was made, and the east is Que Mountain. It is called Que Hua Qiu Yun. The first year of Yuanzhen has ten and February. Wu Xing and Zhao Mengfu made it."

    Qianlong's inscription and postscript is a poem, "Inscribed Zhao Mengfu Quehua Autumn Color Picture":

    "When I looked at Tianshui in the past, I didn't believe that the famous mountains could be beautiful together. Now I climbed to Jicheng and looked at the two mountains. At the beginning, whoever explained the picture. Because it was ordered to post the seal, the original work was brought here for comparison. I believe that the pen is good and the ground is good.  , the current proof of the essence. Two sky flowers embroidered on the top of the field, a magpie and the Milky Way. It is time for the spring smoke to be far away, and the willow embankment to be green and the village is purple.  .Let¡¯s leave it to today¡¯s inscription to have a godly letter, not counting Jialing Wu Daozi.¡±
