Chapter 42 Passing the test, the momentum is like a broken bamboo!
“Yes, very right…”
At this moment, the old man smiled and nodded slightly: "At a certain period, light paper and heavy ink are also the biggest feature of Mr. Fu's works. When we identify his works, we often start from these two aspects."
While speaking, the old man looked at Qi Xiang, then to the others, kindly said: "Of course, only looking at paper and ink will also be somewhat biased. The safest way is to consider comprehensively, so that it will be more thorough."
A clever man quickly bowed and said, "Thank you Mr. Sun for your advice..."
"It's not a question of guidance. After all, you may not understand this kind of thing after I tell you." The old man smiled and said, "You must know that you will always be shallow in your knowledge. You must practice it by yourself."
"That's right, no matter how much we say it, even if we repeat it a hundred times, it's better for you to explore it carefully."
An old man next to him said casually, then looked at Qi Xiang and asked, "What else is the third fake, which one is it?"
"The picture of the Spring Festival numbered 17th." Qi Xiang said without hesitation: "The traces of old things are too obvious. The paper is so yellow. It is obvious that after pouring tea, it is put in a steamer and steamed, and then dried..."
When the old man heard this, he immediately laughed.
That painting is equivalent to a free question. If Qi Xiang can't see it, it would be a waste of time. Anyway, others also think that it would be a strange thing if Qi Xiang couldn't answer it.
At the same time, someone asked: "What is the number of the fourth fake?"
"No. 23!" Qi Xiang said bluntly: "That's a trick of the face-saving project."
"What's the meaning?"
Hearing this, except for a few appraisal masters, everyone else was stunned.
"The painting numbered twenty-three is a few mountains, and the rest is a large piece of white space." Qi Xiang said disdainfully: "The signature and seal are the marks of famous artists. In terms of the style of the painting, it is also more in line with the famous artist."
"People who make fakes are very smart and know the more they do, the more likely they are to make mistakes. Therefore, drawing is simpler, making it difficult for people to identify the authenticity from the brushwork."
Qi Xiang sneered: "But in order to make people believe that the work is real, the fake people deliberately put in effort to frame it. They use relatively expensive wood as scrolls and then lay the above good silk as mounting materials."
"After this contrast, do you think that the painting is very classy?"
Qi Xiang suddenly turned around and asked the people sitting next to him.
"Yeah!" The people nodded one after another, and then realized that something was wrong...
"This is the face project!" Qi Xiang chuckled: "If someone only looks at face and feels that face is bright but ignores the inner world, it is easy to be fooled."
"... Not bad!" Old Sun smiled and said, "It's appropriate."
“It’s not only appropriate, but also fact.”
The old man next to him agreed: "In order to make people believe that fakes are genuine, they will not be stingy with the cost of making fakes. Because they know that as long as they are done ingeniously, no matter how high the cost is, they can still make money back with the capital and the profit."
"Brother, I have such a good eye." After Boss Pang praised, his expression became more cautious: "The next one should be the fifth fake, which one do you think it is?"
Qi Xiang smiled slightly without hesitation: "The number is forty-nine, and the calligraphy copybook is marked Dong Qichang."
"Dong Qichang..."
When the others heard this, they didn't think anything strange.
After all, Dong Qichang was a very famous calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty. His calligraphy and paintings were already very famous at that time, so a large number of fakes were circulated in the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, some fakes were even made by Dong Qichang himself.
It is said that there were too many people asking for painting at that time, and Dong Qichang was so annoyed that he could not stand the affection. He simply hired many ghostwriters and waited for the ghostwriters to make calligraphy and paintings, and he wrote them and stamped them.
This kind of social calligraphy and painting fills the entire market, so that his works are of varying quality and difficult to distinguish between true and false, which is also recognized by the world.
In fact, whenever you see Dong Qichang's name, many people's first reaction is to doubt whether the work is a imitation or a fake, which is also a kind of solidified thinking.
But what makes people speechless is that this solidified thinking is correct nine times ten times...
At this time, Boss Pang Da asked routinely: "Is there anything wrong with this copybook?"
"It's very wrong." Qi Xiang explained: "This is a regular script copybook. You should know that Dong Qichang's calligraphy should have the highest attainments in running and cursive script. However, he doesn't think so. He is also quite conceited about his regular script, especially small regular script."
"In the late Ming Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu and Wen Zhengming's calligraphy was the most popular among literati. Dong Qichang was inevitably affected, but he did not hide from the ancient times, but combined the calligraphy styles of the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties and formed their own integration."
Qi Xiang commented: "His calligraphy style is elegant and ethereal, and his style is elegant. His strokes are vigorous and elegant, plain and simple. In terms of composition, the lines are arranged between lines, and the branches are sparse and symmetrical."
"He also pays great attention to the use of ink, dry, wet, thick and thin, and it is all the best."
"Some people think that calligraphy is a great success in Dong Qichang's collection of ancient methods. At that time, people also had a high evaluation of his calligraphy. As long as it was his short letters and spread to the world, people would compete to buy treasures."
"Until the mid-Qing Dynasty, Kangxi and Qianlong used Dong Qichang's calligraphy as the patriarchal method, and they highly praised it and preferred it..."
Qi Xiang talked freely, and suddenly changed: "Of course, these are not the key points, the key is the signature on the copybook!"
"What's wrong with the signature?" An old man's eyes lit up slightly and he chuckled: "I think there is no problem with the signature. The seal is his seal, and the seal is also his seal, that's right."
When the others heard this, they immediately felt thoughtful.
"Is it a ghostwriter?" a man asked in a low voice: "Is the ghostwriter considered an authentic work or a fake?"
Speaking of which, this is also a controversial matter.
After all, the style of the ghostwriter is generally very similar to that of the main master, and the style of the main master is printed on it, which means that the work has been recognized by the main master. From the perspective of writing, the ghostwriter should belong to the scope of the intellectual property rights of the main master.
Therefore, some skilled ghostwriting works often have certain value. Some people even treat ghostwriting works as authentic works and are willing to buy them at a high price.
But from an artistic perspective, nothing is produced by the master who does not write and splashes his ink, nor is it the original work.
But then again, the writing works cannot be included in the form of fakes in any case, and can barely be called high imitation.
It should be noted that in the definition of antique nouns, imitations can only be called fakes if new imitations are used. Other old imitations, old imitations, and ancient imitations are also considered as antiques because they have been old and have deviated from the framework of fakes.
This way, there will be difficulties.
If this copybook by Dong Qichang is really a ghostwriter, should it be listed as a fake?
It is listed as a fake, which seems to be different from the public's cognition.
It is not listed as a fake, nor is it an authentic one.
Headache……
When some people were confused, Qi Xiang shook her head gently: "This copybook is not a ghostwriter, but the signature is indeed true."
“Huh?”
When others heard this, they were stunned, confused and confused. They were a little confused and couldn't help asking: "What does this mean?"
Qi Xiang smiled and directly revealed the mystery: "There is indeed no problem with Dong Qichang's signature. The problem is that such signature should not appear on this copybook with a font that is as slim as the font, with a drowsy charm and no artistic value."
"ah?"
The others were stunned, but soon someone reacted and said dumbfoundedly: "Transfer flowers and connect wood?"
"Yes, it's just about transplanting flowers and connecting wood."
Qi Xiang nodded and said, "Digging Dong Qichang's real image from another place and filling it with fakes is also a relatively common method of forgery."
"So that's how it is." Someone suddenly realized and came to a hindsight: "No wonder I think the signature and font layout of the copybook are very inconsistent, and it's very awkward..."
"I feel so too!" Others nodded.
These people were talking eagerly, but did not notice the appreciation in the eyes of several old people.
On the contrary, Boss Pang Da’s mood was a little complicated. He did not mind spending millions of advertisements, but someone really got the lottery, and he was a little reluctant to let it go.
Now Qi Xiang is making a very fast progress, and she is defeated by the generals all the way. This is the rhythm of completing the ultimate kill.
Boss Pang suddenly fell silent, but Mr. Sun was interested and continued to ask: "Next, the sixth fake product is the sixth one. Which one do you think has a problem?"
"No. 60..." Qi Xiang talked in a daze.
"Where is the seventh fake?"
"No. Seventy-two!"
"The eighth fake..."
"No. 88!"
"What is the ninth fake?"
"Editor ninety-five!"
In a blink of an eye, Qi Xiang completed the answers to nine fakes, and there was no error.
"What work do you think will be the last fake?"
When Mr. Sun asked with a smile, the others woke up. It turned out that before he knew it, Qi Xiang had reached the last level, only one step away from success.
"Hiss!"
In an instant, some people were surprised and some were happy, and then they held their breath and focused on Qi Xiang's final answer. As long as he answered correctly, he had the right to choose one of the paintings of famous artists on the second floor to take for himself.
Such a lottery ticket is like winning a lottery jackpot and getting rich overnight.
However, at this time, Qi Xiang seemed a little hesitant and did not speak for a long time.
"cough……"
Seeing this, Boss Pang was inexplicably happy and hurriedly urged: "Brother, Mr. Sun is asking you what you are talking about. What is the tenth fake? Please reply quickly."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Old Sun waved his hand in reverse and said with a smile: "Let him think slowly, think carefully, and don't miss the answer..."
"Yes, yes." Boss Pang Da nodded on the surface, but in his heart he wished that Qi Xiang could fool him and ended in failure.
