Inherit For Three Thousand Years

When Tang Zhengshan put away the "Ping An Post" and handed it to Xiao Banxia, ​​Qin Huali urged: "Hurry up and take out the painting you prepared, everyone is waiting to open their eyes."

"Don't worry, I'll open it for everyone now."

Tang Zhengshan took out an ancient scroll and slowly opened it on the table.

Just halfway through the painting, Xiao Yao said: "It turned out to be Wang Meng's "Zhichuan Migration Picture"! This gift is too expensive, Mr. Tang really has a heart."

Although Xiao Yao has never seen the original painting of "Zhichuan Migration Picture", as a top appraiser, he is naturally no stranger to this famous painting by Wang Meng that can be handed down to later generations.

Just seeing the dense seals and inscriptions on the painting was enough for him to recognize which ancient famous painting it was.

Although "Zhichuan Migration Picture" is not Wang Mengdeng's pinnacle masterpiece, it is also his mature work with deep personal artistic characteristics.

Wang Meng, one of the "Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty", was taught by his grandfather Zhao Mengfu since he was a child, and he was able to enjoy the famous works of the previous generation in Zhao's collection. It has become famous all over the world.

Wang Meng once created two of the "Zhichuan Migration Map" based on the story of Ge Hong's emigration to Luofu Mountain for alchemy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. One is hidden in the Forbidden City in Kyoto, and the other is the painting in front of me.

The one in the Forbidden City in Kyoto is slightly larger in size and richer in color, and is an early work of Wang Meng. The painting "Zhichuan Migration Picture" in front of me is a masterpiece made by Wang Meng in his later years, and its artistic level exceeds the collection of the Forbidden City.

Wang Meng's achievements in painting art are highly praised by famous masters of all ages.

Ni Zan, who was also one of the "Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty", once praised him in the poem "Timing Wang Shuming Yanju Gaoshi Tu": "Linchi studies Wang Youjun, and Chenghuai observes Daozong Shaowen. The prince's pen can carry a tripod, There has been no such king for five hundred years."

Dong Qichang, the founder of the painting "North and South Zonglun", which is almost a milestone in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy, was also excited when he saw Wang Meng's "Picture of Hermitage in Qingbian" for the first time. The meaning of admiration can be seen.

As for the masters of modern times, all of them admire Wang Meng highly. For example, Zhang Daqian, a master of landscape painting, devoted himself to studying the painting styles of famous masters of the past dynasties. .

Xiao Yao recognized this painting so quickly as Wang Meng's "Picture of Immigrants in Zhichuan", entirely because there are too many inscriptions and postscripts on this painting, which are too obvious.

There are poems written by Wang Meng's contemporaries, such as Han Xing, Ni Zan, Tao Fuchu, Chen Ze, etc.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, it was collected by Xiang Yuanbian, a great collector. Xiang also sealed more than 20 pieces on it, including 9 pieces of this painting and 9 pieces of inscribed poems.

The seal in the upper right corner and other places may also belong to Xiang's family, but it cannot be clearly identified due to peeling off. With so many seals, it is second only to Xiang's original collection of "Shenlongben Lanting Preface" in the Forbidden City in Kyoto, which is extremely appreciated.

Interestingly, the rules for the seals of "Zhichuan Migration Picture" and "Shenlong Benlanting Preface" are exactly the same: that is, not only stamping on this painting, but also adding more seals after the inscriptions or postscripts of various families .

These are the important basis for identifying authenticity.

After hearing Xiao Yao's words, everyone was shocked.

When the painting was fully unfolded, Wang Xiaoxian, Lu Yahong, Qin Huali and others gathered around to appreciate it carefully.

Others couldn't get close, so they could only stand and watch from a little distance.

After appreciating it carefully, Qin Huali was so emotional that he couldn't help but said: "Reciting poems is an epic; using pictures to carry people is a history of painting. Jiang Shaoshu once called it the "History of Silent Poetry". From this point of view, Wang Meng's "Zhichuan Migration Picture" refers to Zhichuan's emigration, alluding to the prevailing Taoism at that time.

And its fine brush and ink, sublime dots, and majestic layout, among all Wang Meng's paintings that have been handed down so far, I am afraid that apart from his peak masterpiece "Dwelling in Qingbian", this work should have the highest artistic achievement. "

"I heard that Chairman Qin has a collection of Wang Meng's works. You must be very familiar with his painting style. I don't know if there is a chance to see the masterpiece of Wang Meng in your collection?" Wang Xiaoxian took the opportunity to ask road.

"The work in my collection is only Wang Meng's early painting. Although it is quite rare, it is still incomparable with this mature work of Wang Meng's late period. I am not a person who cherishes myself. If you want to see it , there are many opportunities, and you are welcome to visit my house when you have time. Unfortunately, I can't take this work back to China casually, otherwise, it would be more convenient." Qin Huali said generously.

"We are an auctioneer. In order to collect auction items, we will inevitably have to run around all over the world. As long as you don't think I am a bad customer, then I will definitely come to visit some other day." Wang Xiaoxian quickly finalized this matter.

If he can get closer to Qin Huali in these two days, Wang Xiaoxian will gain a lot this time.

The Nanyang Qin family has been passed down for more than 100 years, and has been rich and powerful throughout the generations. After so many years, the family has countless precious collections.

Although the Qin family may not necessarily sell the collections collected by the past dynasties, but not selling now does not mean that they will not sell in the future. It is beneficial to establish a good relationship with the helm of the Qin family in advance.

Qin Huali, Wang Xiaoxian and others discussed the painting style of this painting again. After their discussion was over, Su Xianjun asked the question in his heart again: "This painting is called "Zhichuan Migration Picture". Is there a prototype for the character who moves?"

"There is indeed a prototype. This painting depicts Ge Hong's family moving to Luofu Mountain to practice alchemy in the Jin Dynasty. You should have heard of Ge Hong, right?"

"I do know that he is a famous figure in Taoism, but I don't know the specific life." Su Xianjun said truthfully.

Xiao Yao continued: "Ge Hong, whose name is Zhichuan, is from Jurong, Jiangsu. He is a famous alchemist, alchemist, and medical scientist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was an official with a leaked sentence. When he passed through Guangzhou, the governor Deng Yue asked him to stay, but Ge Hong resolutely left. So he went to Luofu Mountain to practice alchemy.

Because of these deeds, Ge Hong, like Qu Yuan, has become a cultural symbol for future generations to enter the world, and is highly respected in some special periods.

Especially in the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties when imperial examinations were abolished and there were no opportunities for official advancement, Confucianism was sluggish and Taoism was popular. In this special historical period, Ge Hong, who was very negative in Taoism, was especially welcomed by the scholars who were deeply influenced by the Confucian tradition at that time, and became the direct choice for them to express their block and depression.

Wang Zhe's poems about the fisherman, Zhang Zhihe's poems about the fisherman, Wu Zhenping's picture of the fisherman's life, and Wang Meng's picture of Zhichuan's migration in his life are all due to the social atmosphere at that time. "

Although Xiao Yao's words were very brief, everyone's understanding of the artistic conception of this work deepened after hearing what he said.

With the relationship between Xiao Yao and the Tang family, there is no need to say some polite words to Tang Zhengshan, so he said directly to Xiao Banxia: "Sister, these two gifts from Mr. Tang are too expensive, you must take good care of them. There are two more family heirlooms left to future generations."

Xiao Yao said so, and Xiao Banxia stopped saying no, but she couldn't leave her words of thanks. She bowed deeply in front of Tang Zhengshan, and said solemnly: "Thank you Mr. Tang for your gift, your two gifts are too precious. In the future, I will definitely take good care of them so that these two treasures will not be lost in the slightest."

"Since this book and painting are given to you, I don't have to worry about what will happen in the future, as long as you like it."

This book and painting are two collections that Tang Zhengshan personally likes very much. To be honest, he is really reluctant to part with them.

After accepting Tang Zhengshan's gift, all the relatives and friends who came today have already sent makeup, and the matter came to an end, Xiao Banxia was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Counting money and getting hand cramps is a dream hobby of many people, and Xiao Banxia is no exception. Has she ever had such a dream?

I received so many gifts today, and most of them are rare treasures. Xiao Banxia finally had a personal experience today about what it feels like to receive gifts and receive soft hands.

She could still accept the gifts from those people in front of her calmly. Even though many of the gifts were worth more than ten million yuan, they only made her feel that they were a little too expensive, not enough to make her have too much psychological fluctuations.

But the gifts given to her by the nine directors of the Promise Society were too expensive, and even with her big heart, she couldn't accept them calmly and peacefully.

Each of the gifts given to her by these 9 bigwigs can be called a rare treasure, and they are not even easy to measure by value. If you have to give a valuation, then even if it is less than 3 billion, There shouldn't be too much difference.

Thinking of this astonishing number, Xiao Banxia felt a little terrified.

Even though, under the nurturing and influence of her younger brother in the past two years, she has been relatively indifferent to money and wealth, but such an astonishingly huge amount of wealth surprised her, and at the same time, she also endured tremendous pressure.

There is no way for her to repay the billions of favors by herself. These huge favors will ultimately be repaid by Xiao Yao.

Although she threatened her brother to prepare a generous dowry for her, it was just a joke.

She doesn't need anything now, Xiao Yao has already bought her a house, a car, and jewelry, and the pocket money he has given her one after another in the past two years is an astonishing amount. Excluding the spent ones, the deposit on her card has now exceeded tens of millions.

Even if she no longer enjoys her younger brother's glory in the future, all the existing things are enough for her to live comfortably in the future.

She had already guessed that her younger brother's wealth must be an astonishing amount. With the relationship between the two of them, if her younger brother prepared a generous dowry for her, she could accept it with peace of mind.

But now just the addition of makeup by friends has broken through the terrible number of 3 billion, completely exceeding her expectations. After the initial surprise, she now feels more pressure.

What is important among friends is reciprocity. Xiao Yao will definitely return the gifts she received today one by one in the future.

She had a sense of peace of mind from her own little brother, but this peace of mind also has a limit, and it is not endless. She didn't know what the limit in her heart was, but obviously the number 3 billion was far beyond the limit in her mind.

Among all the people at the scene, perhaps only Xiao Banxia, ​​the person concerned, had the most complicated thoughts and thought the most.

The others are all watching the excitement, the bigger the scene, the more excited they are. Of course, while watching the excitement, more young people will inevitably feel some envy in their hearts.

Even the children of top aristocratic families like Tang Zhenghao and Su Xianjun regret that they married too early. If they are still unmarried, they might have the opportunity to marry Xiao Banxia, ​​a real daughter, back home.

Both of them knew Li Zhanting, and after this period of contact, they had a very good relationship.

Although Li Zhanting is a rare young talent, they are not bad either. Not only are their family backgrounds better, but their abilities are also outstanding. Even in appearance, the two of them are not much different from Li Zhanting.

If Xiao Banxia, ​​a rich lady, can be married home, then the relationship with Xiao Yao will really become a family.

Thinking of this, Tang Tianhao and Su Xianjun regretted it deeply. Many people of the same age as the two of them from similar family backgrounds are unwilling to marry early, and want to wait until they have had enough fun before thinking about marriage. Even if they cannot withstand the pressure of the family, they must at least persist until they are 30 years old. That is to say, the two of them are considered outliers among their peers, and they both got married early.

After tidying up his mood, Tang Tianhao said, "Brother Xiao, our presents have all been sent out. What kind of dowry have you prepared for Pinellia? Shouldn't you also show it in the sun? By the way, let me ordinary people open it up." vision."

"That's right, brother Xiao, stop stretching, just take out any good things!" Su Xianjun also booed from the side.

"As long as you two are having a good time, three of the gifts I have prepared will only be used on the day of the wedding." Seeing everyone's anticipation, Xiao Yao couldn't continue to play tricks, "Okay, Then I will grant your wishes."

"I prepared 4 gifts for my sister, three of which I made myself. Only one is from the collection of the European royal family. This gift is very suitable for my sister to wear when she wears a wedding dress."

Xiao Yao had already prepared it a long time ago. He took an exquisite gift box, handed it to his sister with both hands, and said, "Open it and see if you like it?"

Xiao Banxia took it over, and she was also curious about what kind of wedding gift her younger brother had prepared for her.
