    Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult for Tang paintings to be passed down to the present day. There are basically very few works by famous artists that can be handed down, and they are all national treasures. As for Li Sixun's handed down works, it is said that there is not even one.

    The "Jiang Fan Pavilion Picture" now stored in the Baodao Forbidden City is actually not Li Sixun's original work, but a Song Dynasty copy.  Of course, "Jiangfan Pavilion" belongs to Li Sixun's school in terms of subject matter and presentation of techniques, and it is an important work for the study of Li School's landscape.

    Therefore, one can imagine the excitement in Meng Zitao's heart when he was able to discover an authentic painting of Li Sixun.

    Controlling his emotions to avoid being seen by Pang Xiaotao, Meng Zitao then pretended to appreciate the entire painting again.

    Putting down the tools in his hands, Meng Zitao pretended to hesitate and said: "This painting looks okay, but I don't know who destroyed the signature. This has a great impact on the author's judgment."

    "I think this painting is not a masterpiece by a famous artist." Lao Niu immediately started singing along.

    "What you said is too arbitrary." Pang Xiaotao stood on his own side and naturally disagreed with this statement.

    Lao Niu chuckled: "If it were you, if you had a famous painting in your hand, would you deliberately give it the signature? Generally, only unknown little painters occasionally have a masterpiece that can barely compete with the famous painting, so profiteers will  It¡¯s probably quite common to remove the signature on a painting and sell it as a masterpiece by a famous artist.¡±

    Meng Zitao also nodded, agreeing with this statement.

    Pang Xiaotao actually agrees with this statement. For example, it is obviously an authentic work by Tang Bohu, but no one is boring enough to remove the signature of the original work, making it more difficult to identify the author.

    But similarly, from Pang Xiaotao's point of view, we definitely cannot say this: "According to common sense, what you said is possible, but then again, in the hundreds of years since the Song Dynasty, there have been countless wars, plus  There are some mental illnesses in the world, and no one can tell why the signature on this painting was removed. In my eyes, this is an exquisite Song Dynasty painting."

    "But not signing it will definitely affect the value. Ms. Pang, you should understand this."

    Meng Zitao said: "Of course, we won't say any more. Please give me a price."

    "One million!" Pang Xiaotao replied.

    Meng Zitao chuckled: "Ms. Pang, I can't say anything else at your price. Please take this painting back."

    Seeing that Meng Zitao had no intention of bargaining, Pang Xiaotao was slightly startled, and then said: "This is a Song Dynasty painting! One million is not expensive."

    Meng Zitao said lightly: "Everyone has their own judgment on whether it is a Song painting or not. Let's just take this painting as an example. Does it require an inscription or a postscript? Does it require an inscription? Does it require a signature? It doesn't require a seal. What do you think of such a painting?  The asking price is one million, I¡¯m sorry I don¡¯t agree with it.¡±

    "Then how much can you give?"

    "Three hundred thousand."

    "Impossible, how can a masterpiece handed down from the Song Dynasty only cost 300,000 yuan." Pang Xiaotao shook his head repeatedly.

    "Do you have conclusive evidence that this painting is a work of the Song Dynasty?" Lao Niu asked back.

    Pang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, and did not answer the question. He said directly: "At least seven hundred thousand. If you still think it is too expensive, then forget it. I will put the painting away."

    Meng Zitao was silent for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "Can't it be cheaper?"

    Pang Xiaotao¡¯s attitude was very firm: ¡°No, not a penny less.¡±

    After waiting for a while, Meng Zitao pretended to reluctantly agree.

    "I wonder, Ms. Pang, do you have any other collections you want to transfer?" Meng Zitao asked.

    "No more." Pang Xiaotao said.

    Meng Zitao said: "Well, I am a businessman, and I have the habit of signing contracts when doing business. Let's sign a transfer agreement."

    "This is not the business in the antique business." Pang Xiaotao was unhappy and worried that if something went wrong, she would be found.

    Lao Niu immediately said: "To tell you the truth, Qian Shao had trouble buying antiques before. He bought something with someone, but he didn't expect that the item belonged to the seller's father. The seller's father did not agree to sell it, so Qian Shao wanted to find something again.  I wanted to go back, but I was unwilling to give the money truthfully, and it took a long time to settle the matter."

    Meng Zitao nodded and said: "Yes, so when I buy something now, I would rather not buy it, but I must sign an agreement, and the agreement only needs to be written in a simple way. Even if it is eye-catching, it is my business, unless your things are dirty.  Otherwise I don¡¯t know what to worry about.¡±

    Since Meng Zitaobsp; Tong Weike laughed and said: "Oh, then I came at the right time, so I can feast my eyes again."

    Zheng Anzhi waved to Meng Zitao: "Zitao, do you think this painting is a Tang painting or a Song painting?"

    Meng Zitao put down the brocade box in his hand and stepped forward to appreciate it carefully. It was a picture of a lady. After looking at it for a while, he had an idea.

    "This is at most a Song painting. Thread-bound books only began to appear in the Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, hand scrolls were all used. The beauty in this painting is holding a thread-bound book, so it is definitely not a Tang painting."

    Zheng Anzhi and Tong Weike both smiled and nodded, and then heard Meng Zitao continue: "And I don't think this is a Song painting, it should be a Ming painting."

    "How can you see it?" Tong Weike asked immediately.

    Meng Zitao talked eloquently: "Because of the silk material, the silk material in the early and mid-Ming Dynasty was relatively rough and thin. Because the density of the warp and weft of the silk was too low and it was difficult for ink to fall off, calligraphers and painters often put it on paper first, and then created calligraphy and painting. Mounting  After a long period of time, due to moisture and other reasons, the supporting paper and silk were easily separated from each other, and the silk itself became black due to old age. It basically disappeared during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The silk material of this painting is  In line with such characteristics, and judging from natural oxidation and other aspects, it should not be a clear painting."

    "Haha, that's good." Tong Weike smiled and clapped.

    Meng Zitao quickly became humble.

    Zheng Anzhi was very satisfied with Meng Zitao's performance and said with a smile: "Zitao, let's take a look at your painting."

    Meng Zitao said: "Then let's change places. It's a bit difficult to expand here."

    The two elders had no objection, and they were even more curious about what kind of painting Meng Zitao brought, so seriously.

    Meng Zitao put on his gloves, carefully took out the scroll from the brocade box, and slowly unfolded it.

    As the content of the scroll was revealed, the expression on the old man's face became a little frozen, and he moved directly towards the scroll.

    "Bang!"

    ¡°Ouch!¡±

    The two old men were too focused and did not pay attention, so their heads touched each other.

    Tong Weike raised his head and looked at Zheng Anzhi: "Mr. Zheng, you are a guest. I should appreciate it first, right?"

    Zheng Anzhi said: "My apprentice brought this for appreciation. Of course I went first. Besides, the master has not even seen it. How can a guest see it first?"

    "Since it is your apprentice who appreciates you, it is even more important that I should do it first."

    "Why?"

    "If you can appreciate it from now on, how can I stay at your house every day?"

    "You can live here if you want. If you want to see it first, there's no way!"

    "Why¡­¡­"

    Seeing the two elders quarreling with red faces, Meng Zitao was secretly happy beside him. However, if the argument continued like this, there would be no solution, so he suggested guessing and deciding.

    The two elders also agreed, and in the end Zheng Anzhi won.

    Tong Weike was very unhappy: "No, for such an important matter, we have to win two out of three games."

    "Are you going to lose again and have a best-of-five game?" Zheng Anzhi sneered, pushed Tong Weike aside, and took a magnifying glass to observe carefully.

    Fortunately, this is not a small work, and Tong Weike can appreciate it from the side, but he can't see some details with a magnifying glass. He feels like an ant on a hot pot, and keeps urging Zheng Anzhi to read faster.

    Zheng Anzhi ignored him and finished admiring the painting from beginning to end at his own speed. Tong Weike couldn't wait to take over the position.

    Zheng Anzhi asked: "Zitao, where did you get this painting?"

    After Meng Zitao recounted what happened in the afternoon, he smiled and asked, "Then who do you think the author of this work might be?"

    "I think it should be Li Sixun's work."

    "Let's talk about it."

    Meng Zitao considered his words before saying: "Everyone knows that Li Sixun's paintings were influenced by Zhan Ziqian. Zhan Ziqian painted pine trees instead of pine needles, and only used green dots to dye them. The painting method is simple. And this work is the first to paint pine needles.  It was dyed with azure dots, and then two crossed lines were added with azurite to represent the pine needles."

    "Compared with the 'needle collecting' method of depicting pine needles pioneered by Li Cheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, this painting method will naturally appear more clumsy, which is in line with the characteristics of Li Sixian's teachings as a link between past and present."

    "In addition, the description of the trees in this painting has paid attention to the cross-shape, making them appear lush and thick. However, the branches, trunks, and leaves are still filled with neat double-hook coloring; the rocks are outlined with hard lines at the center, and there is no obvious cracking of the brush.  , the colors are mainly azure and stone green, and the turning points of the ink lines are reminded with gold powder, which has a strong effect of complementing each other. The characters in the painting give people a "transcendental" artistic conception I think all of these are in line with Li Sixun  style of painting.¡±

    "Moreover, this painting, both in terms of style and artistic conception, is better than the "Jiang Fan Pavilion" in the Baodao Forbidden City. Who else could it be but Li Sixun himself?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel  .com)??Li Sixun's painting style.  "
