Meng Zitao observed carefully and found that the style of the characters on the scroll was in line with Chen Hongshou's brushwork, but compared with his later period, it was still a little immature.
But on the one hand, this painting has not been dated, and the appraisal of calligraphy and painting requires a lot of knowledge. Meng Zitao is still lacking in this aspect, so just from the point of using the brush, his eyesight allows him to immediately determine whether it is the painting. It is not an authentic work by Chen Hongshou, so it is undoubtedly not easy.
However, Meng Zitao's research on calligraphy was different, so he could see at a glance that although the inscription and postscript of this painting were quite skillful, they were inferior to Chen Hongshou's original work. Therefore, he thought , this painting is definitely an imitation, but judging from the paper and other aspects, it should be an old imitation.
"Xiao Meng, what do you think of this painting?" Mr. Cai asked.
Meng Zitao said: "This painting is very good, but I think it is still a little bit behind the original painting."
The treasure holder was filled with joy when he heard the first part, but the next part made his face darken immediately.
"Expert, you can see clearly that this was appraised by Mr. Zhuo Yingzhuo himself and he issued an appraisal certificate. He wouldn't talk nonsense!" The treasure holder took out an appraisal with a dark face. Certificate.
Meng Zitao had no impression of the expert the treasure holder mentioned. He was probably not a nationally renowned expert like Mr. Cai. However, since this matter involved a colleague, Meng Zitao looked at Mr. Cai to be on the safe side. How did he say.
Mr. Cai asked: "Since you have already authenticated it, why do you still want to bring it to us?"
The treasure holder was not embarrassed at all, and said directly: "I came here for the title of 'Xijing Folk National Treasure', so there is no problem in calling it, right?"
Among the shortlisted works in this appraisal conference, five treasures will be selected in the end, and they will be dubbed the "Xijing Folk National Treasure". Naturally, with this title, it will definitely increase a lot of value. For the treasure holder, It's also a temptation.
Mr. Cai said: "Of course there is no problem, but since you are here with us, why do you mention him? Do you think that there is no reason for us to give you the result?"
The treasure holder was a little confused. After a while, he said, "What's the reason? You can't tell me, right?"
"If you didn't interrupt, Teacher Meng would have said it a long time ago." Mr. Cai said to Meng Zitao: "Xiao Meng, please tell me your opinion first."
Meng Zitao smiled slightly and began to explain: "Let's start with the inscription. After all, I still have some say in calligraphy. Although Chen Hongshou is not famous for his calligraphy, his achievements in the art of calligraphy are quite amazing. .Chen Hongshou strictly follows the center-stroke method of writing. He is well versed in the secret of writing with the palm upright and the wrist flat. Although he occasionally uses the side stroke to draw the line, he can adjust the pen immediately. With such superb pen control ability, Undoubtedly, it can only be done by holding the pen with the palm upright and the wrist flat."
"Furthermore, there seems to be no flaw in the writing techniques required by calligraphy such as 'returning to the Tibet', 'lifting the press', 'stopping', 'twisting', 'echoing' and so on, in the process of his writing. There is no trace of what he has done, and this is the concrete embodiment of the state of being unimpressive in appearance, unbelievable in faith and words, and cultivating himself to the point of perfection."
Speaking of this, Meng Zitao used his mobile phone to go online to find a calligraphy work by Chen Hongshou, and then explained: "From his calligraphy, we can feel that Chen Hongshou's state of mind when writing is joyful, tranquil, relaxed and joyful. The writing process is very important to him." It seems to be the sweetest and most comfortable enjoyment."
"Therefore, it can be said that Chen Hongshou has found the best way to use calligraphy, and this method is the 'true meaning' of calligraphy. In this 'true meaning', the center of calligraphy moves, returns to storage, and lifts. Pressing, pausing, twisting and twisting are all for smooth writing and beautiful writing. Then, if we look at the inscription and postscript in your work, we can see some characteristics of Chen Hongshou's brushwork that are not in line with Chen Hongshou"
Meng Zitao talked eloquently, combined with the authentic work, commented on the inscription and postscript of the painting of a lady in front of him, and finally asked: "Sir, I wonder if you have any other questions in this regard?"
Meng Zitao¡¯s explanation was very easy to understand, and the treasure holder couldn¡¯t find a reason to refute it, so he remained silent for a while.
Meng Zitao continued: "However, I think the style of this calligraphy is somewhat similar to Mr. Xie Zhiliu's style. Maybe it was written by him."
The treasure holder was suddenly startled: "You mean, this painting is a copy of Mr. Xie's?"
"That's not true." Meng Zitao smiled and shook his head: "I'll ask Mr. Cai to explain it to you."
Next, Cai Lao talked about it in detail in terms of painting style and brush use.There is something wrong with Ying's character. As long as the treasure holder is willing to pay the price, he can authenticate the imitation into the original. However, he is not stupid. He will not do this if the imitation is not good. In addition, his appraisal The fee is based on the percentage of the original product.
Just like the painting just now, the appraisal fee starts at least 50,000 yuan, which is not bad.
Back to the subject, with the completion of the appraisal of the last of the ten calligraphy works, the people around him gave Meng Zitao warm applause. Based on these results, they will definitely no longer have any doubts about Meng Zitao¡¯s appraisal level.
Next, nothing unpleasant happened, but towards the end of today¡¯s treasure appraisal activity, an old lady came to the front row under the leadership of the person in charge and explained the situation.
It turned out that this old lady had an unfortunate family and lost her husband early in life. She finally raised her son, got married and had children. Unexpectedly, during this period, misfortunes happened one after another. First, her son was diagnosed with uremia, and then her grandson. There was a car accident and the perpetrator fled.
Originally, the family was not well-off, but now it is impossible to raise the medical expenses. The family is in a desperate situation. Although the village has also organized donations, it is still a drop in the bucket.
Today, the old lady was in the hospital. She heard about the treasure appraisal conference and remembered that there was still a piece of porcelain at home that was passed down by the older generation. She thought of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so she hurried home to get it.
But because she knew that the treasure appraisal meeting was already late, when she arrived at the stadium, today's schedule was about to end. In a hurry, she wiped away tears. She happened to be seen by the person in charge. After learning the situation, she took He followed her to the venue and wanted to appraise her first.
After learning about the old lady¡¯s situation, everyone had no problem with her jumping in line. The old lady also carefully took out the ancestral porcelain and put it on the table in front of Mr. Zhang.
This is a bamboo hat bowl, with an open mouth and a sloping straight wall. The ring foot is higher and the foot wall is shallow. The entire vessel is glazed, and the inner and outer walls of the ring foot and the outer bottom wall are fully glazed. The glaze color is lake blue with a slight green tint. The glaze surface is flat and smooth, the glaze is shiny and thick, and the open flakes can be seen on the surface. The open lines are black, which are called iron wires.
Mr. Zhang immediately let out a sigh of relief when he saw this piece of porcelain. He quickly took it into his hand and looked at it. He asked, "Sister, do you know anything about this porcelain?"
The old lady said: "My husband told me before his death that this seems to be something used by officials hundreds of years ago. I don't know the specific situation."
Mr. Zhang nodded and said: "This porcelain of yours is actually an imitation of the official kiln variety. You may have never heard of official kiln porcelain. For example, its status in porcelain is equivalent to that of a luxury car in cars." , it has become very valuable since it came out, and has been imitated by many in the past dynasties.¡±
"The imitations can be divided into four types: one is the Longquan kiln imitation of the Song Dynasty; the other is the official kiln imitation of the Ming and Qing Dynasties; the third is the late Qing Dynasty imitation; the fourth is the modern new imitation. The imitation official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty Longquan kiln uses cushion cakes or supports. Ring fired, no nail marks. In addition, none of the Longquan kiln imitations are fully glaze fired."
"The imitations of official kilns in the Ming Dynasty were all imitated by the imperial kilns in the porcelain capital. The glaze layer of these imitations was thicker, with large and small patterns on the glaze surface, mostly pink blue and grayish blue. The glaze colors of imitation official kiln products during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty were mostly bean green, Gray blue and moon white, there are a few grainless pieces, most of them are large open pieces. There are two types of glaze: transparent and devitrified. The devitrified glaze is easily confused with the official kiln of the Song Dynasty. Among its exquisite products, the nail marks are black, similar to the Ru kiln. Tiny sesame nails. As for modern imitations, I won¡¯t talk about them.¡±
"The unglazed area of ??the foot of your porcelain porcelain is exposed, and it is dark brown in color. This is a product of Longquan kiln imitating the official kiln. In order to achieve the effect of its purple mouth and iron foot, it was specially painted on the exposed area of ??the ring foot before being fired in the kiln. The sauce-colored glaze. This is also one of the characteristics that distinguishes the official kiln and Longquan kiln imitation official kiln products. But it is a pity"
