Chapter 113 Double Dragon Seal
Many ancient painters had famous works with hidden signatures.
For example, the "Double Joy Picture" written by Cui Bai, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, hid the signature on the tree trunk. After magnifying it ten times, you can see the clear signature.
Another example is the three giants of the Northern Song Dynasty: Fan Kuan's "Traveling on Streams and Mountains" "Snow Scenery and Cold Forests", Guo Xi's "Early Spring" and Li Tang's "Pine Wind in Ten Thousand Valleys" and so on.
Why are all painters from the Northern Song Dynasty hidden inscriptions? It is related to the political environment at that time. The painters need to be low-key and cautious, for fear of being punished for painting, so they will not describe in detail here.
Under this system, only the head of the painting academy like Song Huizong could combine poetry and painting with ease, and also designed the most personal signature of the signature - "one person", which means "one person in the world".
The meaning of "the best in the world"...
What is a petite? It is the signature of the ancients.
The picture of Zhong Kui that Xiao Xingyun found was a coincidence. There were several thick knotted beards on the chin in Zhong Kui's face, which were incompatible with other beards.
At that time, Xiao Xingyun didn't think too much, thinking that this was the painter's style.
But when Professor Wu placed the magnifying glass on these rough beards, Xiao Xingyun also felt something was wrong.
"These two words are 'one person'! It turns out to be 'one person' with a thin gold body. Could it be that it is really his painting?"
Professor Wu was used to the strong winds and waves, but at this time, he was still trembling with excitement.
Fatty Luo was confused when he heard this and asked blankly: "Who is it? Who is the same person? What is this broken name?"
Xiao Xingyun was also very happy. After all, he had been to college. He knew something and reminded him: "Even if he didn't know who the signature of 'one person' represents, he always knew who created the thin gold body, right?"
Fatty Luo shook his head: "What is a thin gold body? I haven't heard of it."
"..." Xiao Xingyun was speechless and too lazy to explain to Fatty Luo.
When Professor Wu heard this, he might have been used to teaching students, so he could no longer help but scolded: "You are really ignorant. Who is your master? How can you keep going in this circle?"
Fatty Luo was quite dissatisfied after hearing this, and replied with his chest straight: "My master is Professor Nie Yuanliang from Shenghai. I am mainly engaged in jade identification and have never learned the appreciation of calligraphy and painting. It is normal not to understand this."
"What? Nie Yuanliang accepted you as a disciple? Haha!" Wu Changyou seemed to hear the funnyest jokes in the world, and laughed until he coughed, and had to stop.
"Do you know my master?" Fatty Luo felt a little guilty. After all, he and Nie Yuanliang had not learned for a few days, and he had been in this relationship all day long, which scared many people.www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
"Haha, Lao Nie and I have been fighting openly and secretly for the rest of our lives. I didn't expect that the disciples he accepted would be like this... Forget it, I'm a guest from afar, so I won't hit you anymore. I'll call Lao Nie later and talk to him well.
”
Fatty Luo was sweating profusely and felt that he would be scolded to death by his master. This time, he might be embarrassed by his master.
Wu Changyou was not a person who was unreasonable. Seeing that Fatty Luo was ashamed, he no longer cared about him and focused on using a magnifying glass to carefully observe the picture of Zhong Kui.
When he saw the belt position of Zhong Kui’s big red robe, Professor Wu let out another excited scream: “Xiao Xiao, look at this belt, what did you find?”
Xiao Xingyun's eyes are so sharp. Since Professor Wu reminded that there is a problem with the position of the belt, there is only the pattern of the belt accessories in the middle of the belt.
The small pattern in the middle is actually a seal carving double dragon pattern. Since the color of the ink is made of cinnabar, Zhong Kui's red robe is also colored with cinnabar, there is only a small difference. If you don't pay attention, it will be difficult to find this very small double dragon.
Pattern.
"Two dragon patterns? What does this mean?" Xiao Xingyun really doesn't understand this.
"One of the seven seals of Xuanhe of Song Huizong, the Double Dragon Seal! The Double Dragon Seal is used for painting, and the Double Dragon Seal is used for calligraphy. Therefore, it can be basically concluded that this is a painting by Song Huizong Zhao Ji, and it may be a game that copyes the picture of Zhong Kui in Tang painting style.
This work. Therefore, this painting has the delicate paintings of the Song Dynasty and the bold and ostentatious murals of the Tang Dynasty."
After hearing Wu Changyou's appraisal results, even if Xiao Xingyun didn't understand the market conditions of calligraphy and painting, he knew that he had made a lot of money this time.
Not only are there signatures and seals, but the painter is also a celebrity in history.
So, Xiao Xingyun asked the most critical question: "Professor Wu, how much is this picture of Zhong Kui worth now?"
"Art is priceless, talking about money is too vulgar!" Wu Changyou snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, but then he thought that Xiao Xingyun was not his disciple and could not be too harsh on him. Then he added, "Song Huizong's calligraphy and painting works,
As few as hundreds of thousands, as many as tens of millions, the price varies. This painting is different from the palace style flowers, birds and landscape paintings of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. Its objects are rare and expensive. They are taken out for auction and sold for millions.
It shouldn't be difficult."
"And, according to historical research, the long-lost painting saint Wu Daozi's Zhong Kui picture was once collected in the Northern Song Dynasty Palace. As the first person in Zhong Kui painting, if the scheming scheming Song Huizong wanted to depict Zhong Kui paintings, then his first choice would definitely be
It’s Wu Daozi’s picture of Zhong Kui!”
"If there is any evidence in this picture that can prove that it is the picture of Zhong Kui depicting Wu Daozi by Emperor Huizong of Song, then the price of this painting will soar ten times, or even dozens of times."
Xiao Xingyun was stunned. Unexpectedly, after Professor Wu's identification, he actually had something to do with Song Huizong and Wu Daozi.
This is the real master of the antique circle.
Compared with Professor Wu, Master Sun of the Treasure Pavilion is simply a scumbag.
"Awesome! Professor Wu, do you still accept apprentices? How do you think of me?" Xiao Xingyun exclaimed from the bottom of his heart and asked in a joking tone.
"You?" Professor Wu looked at Xiao Xingyun carefully, and there was a little hesitation in his eyes, and he did not refuse immediately. "I heard from Xiao Gu that your stone gambling skills are very good. I will test you later. Let's take a look.
Your true level.”
When Xiao Xingyun heard that there was a door, he immediately said happily: "Thank you, Professor Wu, I dare not say anything else. I do have a little talent for gambling stones. Please give me some advice."
"Okay, you put away this picture of Zhong Kui first. I'll go to the study to find a few jadeite rough stones." After Wu Changyou said that, he turned around and went to the study without any delay.
Xiao Xingyun took out his cell phone, took a photo at Zhong Kui's beard, took a photo at the belt, and finally took a photo at the entire picture of Zhong Kui.
Three pictures were sent to Hu Lili.
"Are you in the Treasure Pavilion store? Transfer these three photos to Master Sun and ask him to estimate another price."
It’s not that Xiao Xingyun thought Sun Buer’s contemptuous expression was too obvious yesterday, nor that he deliberately wanted to slap in the face. It was just that this picture could not be saved in the end and handed over to the Treasure Pavilion for auction. The main appraiser before the auction was still Sun Buer.
Therefore, if Sun Buer did not recognize the value of this painting and did not recognize it as a work by Song Huizong, the Treasure Pavilion would not be auctioned on behalf of him.
Hu Lili was checking the antique transaction accounts of last month in the office. When she received a WeChat message from Xiao Xingyun, her mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly.
