I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

Hu Muzhi went around Panjiayao and found nothing worth buying.

Originally, I wanted to say hello to Zhang Gui, but when I went to the booth where Zhang Gui had been setting up a stall, there was not even a figure, so I went back to sleep.

The next day, at 9 am.

Zhang Gui came to Hu Muzhi's courtyard, and also brought the painting that Xia Yurou asked for 5,000 yesterday but did not sell.

Although he didn't open it to see the contents of Zhang Gui's painting, Hu Muzhi already knew from the age of the scroll paper that the painting had some sense of age.

He smiled lightly and said, "Old Zhang, did you receive something good?"

"Xiao Hu, stop laughing at me." Zhang Gui scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "I don't know anything about this painting and calligraphy, and I don't know if it's really a good thing. No, you have a lot of knowledge. , so I came here to find you, and I want to ask you to help me take a look. "5

"Okay, let's go to the "May 17" courtyard, where the light is better. Hu Muzhi nodded, and brought Zhang Gui to the courtyard.

Then he took the scroll in Zhang Gui's hand, opened it and looked at it carefully.

This is an ink painting of flowers and birds.

There is a poem at the entrance: The old juniper in the cloud with the hands is thousands of feet, and the eagle dog is in Tangxi. Hurry up to hunt all the plum sparrows, and a branch of wild bamboo is empty and empty.

The inscriptions in the painting are compact, the brush strokes are soothing, the vertical strokes and strokes are smooth and vigorous, and the closing fronts are steady, reflecting his profound skills in poetry, calligraphy and painting.

There are mountains, rocks, bamboo and scenery in the painting.

Matching it together gives a feeling that the brush and ink are flying, and the swaying and dancing can be seen!

The texture of the rock suddenly appeared.

Look at its bamboo poles, bamboo branches and leaves.

Watching it dry, it is like the sound of the wind in the ear, except for a slight pause at the birth festival, there is no pause for a while, one ink is in the end, and no two strokes are dipped.

Its branches are like steel wires, thin and powerful.

Its Ye Ji uses the pen to change the ability, the center and the flank are used together, and the brush points are lost.

On the left is under the dark clouds, the dangerous stone will fall, and the second old man is unyielding.

Taking the habit of using bamboo to symbolize moral integrity in the traditional metaphor, it is placed in the attack and oppression of snow and stone, emphasizing the attitude of confrontation between self and external force, and expressing the feelings of cynicism.

The inscription is Xu Wei, a native of Tianchi Mountain.

Seals: Xu Wei, Buddha Shou, Wenchang, Qingteng Taoist priest

What is particularly noteworthy about this work is that it has been handed over by many connoisseurs and collectors.

Among them, the identification and collection include Hebei Liangqingbiao identification seal, banana forest identification, Gao's Jiangcun Caotang collection of calligraphy and painting, Tang Han's inscription, and Pang Laichen's appreciation seal.

After reading it, Hu Muzhi withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhang Gui, and said, "Old Zhang, did you collect this painting?""

"Yes, 100 yuan." Zhang Gui didn't hide it, and directly quoted the price.

"You're making a big mistake." Hu Muzhi said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Xu Wei's "Snow Bamboo".

"Xu Wei? Who?" Zhang Gui asked in confusion.

"Old Zhang, you don't even know who the author of this painting is, so you dare to accept this painting?" Hu Muzhi was dumbfounded.

"Isn't that pitiful for the old lady? She came to Panjiayao in the middle of the night, and said she would sell it if she gave her money."

"Look at how bad we are, and we love to care about others.

At the end, Zhang Gui laughed at himself, and then continued to ask about Xu Wei.

Hu Muzhi explained it to Zhang Gui.

Xu Wei (1521-1593), a native of Shaoxing, was named Qingteng old man and Qingteng Taoist priest.

He is a multi-talented person who is unique in poetry, drama, calligraphy and painting, and is also known as the "Three Talents of the Ming Dynasty" along with Xie Jin and Yang Shen.

He is the founder of China's "Splashing Ink Freehand Painting School" and the originator of the "Qingteng Painting School". His paintings can absorb the essence of his predecessors and be reborn.

Flowers are the most outstanding, creating a style of painting for a generation, which has a great influence on the painting circles of later generations (such as Bada Shanren, Shitao, Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics, etc.).

In the 21st year of Wanli, he died in poverty at the age of 73.

Young people go to school, and their literary talents are flourishing.

Middle-aged determined to sit in the southeast.

In his old age, he was poor and famous all over the world.

Immortal and immortal.

As a genius, whether it is literature, painting, calligraphy or opera, he is dazzling.

He considers himself the first in calligraphy, the second in poetry, the third in writing, and the fourth in painting.

But even his most second-ranked paintings have become Zheng Banqiao's idols.

Qi Baishi once said that he is willing to be a running dog under Qingteng.

"So powerful? Then this painting is not very expensive? Zhang Gui exclaimed.

"The current value of this painting should be around 7w..." Hu Muzhi gave his estimate.

This price was not given casually by Hu Muzhi, but was estimated based on the current market conditions.

Hu Muzhi remembers that Xu Wei's paintings and calligraphy first appeared in domestic auctions at the Beijing Hanhai auction in 1995.

It was a piece of Xu Wei's "A Poem of Viewing the Lake in Cursive Script", which finally sold for 352,000 yuan.

"7w..." Zhang Gui's eyes lit up and said, "Xiao Hu, can you go to Panjiayao with me tonight? Someone took a fancy to this painting yesterday, but I didn't sell it, and I want to sell it today. .

To be honest, Hu Muzhi also wanted to accept this painting.

But when I thought that I was going to Xiangjiang in two weeks, I didn't know what treasures were waiting for me there.

Therefore, in order to save some money, Hu Muzhi finally gave up the plan to start this painting.

Nodding his head: "Okay. 99

"See you tonight."

Not long after Hu Muzhi sent Zhang Gui away, Zhongtang's phone rang.

Hu Muzhi came to the central hall and answered.

"Which one?"

"Hu Muzhi, it's me." Xia Yurou's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Manager Xia, what's wrong?" Hu Muzhi asked.

"Around 10 o'clock in the evening, are you free? I want to ask you to accompany me to Panjiayao. 35 Xia Yurou said.

"What did you see?" Hu Muzhi asked.

"Yes." Xia Yurou replied: "Last night, when I was shopping at the stall in Panjiayao, I accidentally found a painting. I opened it and saw that it was my grandfather's painting in 2.8..."

"Wait, why did your grandpa's collection of paintings appear in Panjiayao?" Hu Muzhi interrupted.

"It's not that dark decade." Xia Yurou sighed, "A lot of things in the family were stolen back then, including that painting.

"Didn't the state refund compensation?" Hu Muzhi asked.

"Back off a bit, but there is no such picture in it. Xia Yurou's tone was full of helplessness.

"Hey, it's another decade of darkness." Hu Muzhi sighed.

"Who said it wasn't?" Xia Yurou sighed, "So I want to ask you to accompany me to Panjiayao at night to help me negotiate the price, can you?"

"Yes." Hu Muzhi replied, and it happened that he had an appointment with Zhang Gui at night.

"See you at Panjiayao that night.

"See you tonight.
