Chapter 253 The descendants of the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman
Only "A Dream of Red Mansions" can become a subject with a book, and only "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" can become a subject with a painting.
The key to why they have such a high status is actually that they provided a lot of detailed information on the social life style and other details at that time.
The national treasure "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is not only an artistic achievement, but most importantly, it shows the era of nearly a thousand years ago in front of modern people in a prosperous and sophisticated way.
At that time, there were no photos, movies, videos, or Douyin Kuaishou to record the times.
When people after a thousand years study our era, they will not despise Douyin and Kuaishou, because those will be historical materials. When they see the performances of various iron pots stewing themselves and double-clicking 666, they will suddenly realize that at that time
People are like this.
Of course, we also have serious information to record and preserve for future generations.
It is a pity that the missing part of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is completed. Whether it is a copy of the Ming or Qing Dynasty, it only reflects the luxurious dragon boats and splendid palaces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, towering and closed, but very far away from the common people... This
It was unimaginable for painters of that era to imagine that royal gardens would be open to common people during the Song Dynasty.
Li Hongfang gave the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman such a big pot as soon as he came up. Liu Changan couldn't accept it.
In fact, he took a lot of blame. For example, Shangguan Dandan and her grandfather took a lot of blame for him. However, it was understandable that the Queen Mother was so angry because of some unspeakable reasons related to saliva.
Li Hongfang was different. Her ancestor Liu Changan had never treated her badly, and Liu Changan certainly couldn't accept it.
"Li Dongyang recorded it in the Ming Dynasty. This painting was complete at that time. In other words, the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" collected by the Forbidden City will be damaged. It was first made in the Ming Dynasty. How can it be related to the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman of the Song Dynasty?
?" Liu Changan looked at Li Hongfang expressionlessly, "Do you know that your ancestor Li Daoren also has a connection with "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and he never mentioned the creation process of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in his notes? If so,
Then we know that it is impossible for this painting to be destroyed by the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman."
"How would our ancestors know the creation process of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"? As far as I know, Li Dongyang described that the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was more than two feet long, that is, more than six meters. The existing "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is more than five meters long.
, and in fact the original version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was more than two feet long, and what Li Dongyang saw was the version cut off by the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman. Think about it, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is nearly twelve meters long.
It is half longer than the existing "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". How could the latter originally be only this long?" Li Hongfang continued to try to convince people with his reasoning.
Liu Changan tapped his fingers on the table.
"Zhang Zeduan and Wang Ximeng both belong to the Royal Academy of Painting. Although Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" has already been included in the imperial palace, and Wang Ximeng entered the Royal Academy of Painting more than ten years later, but since Wang Ximeng can be noticed by Zhao Ji and personally teach the brush and ink techniques, then Wang Ximeng
I will definitely have the opportunity to appreciate "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and there will inevitably be comparisons in my heart. Zhang Zeduan made the market prosperous, so I, Wang Ximeng, will present the world in my writings to His Majesty." Li Hongfang recalled the competition between the two masters back then and couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Go on." Liu Changan saw that her topic had temporarily changed from the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman, but in the end it must have been to prove how long the painting was originally, so he gave her the opportunity to continue to invent history.
Li Hongfang was shocked, thinking that his analysis had impressed Liu Changan, "But if a picture of a country is not as long as a picture of a market, it will inevitably lack momentum when compared side by side. So Wang Ximeng will definitely put "Thousands of Miles"
"River and Mountains Picture" is longer than "Along the River During Qingming Festival"...but it can't be twice as long as "Along the River During Qingming Festival", right? Judging from human nature, the original painting of "Along the River During Qingming Festival" should be eight meters to
About ten meters.”
"So...even if the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" seen by Li Dongyang in the Ming Dynasty was more than six meters long, it was still cut off. Anyway, the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Swordsman cut off the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by more than two meters, right?"
Liu Changan applauded, "It's reasonable and well-founded. You invented history."
"We just make bold guesses and be careful to verify." Li Hongfang was a little embarrassed after receiving the approval, "This is also the result of my analysis based on the notes of my ancestors."
"I'll make a bet with you that the complete "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is definitely not as long as you said." Liu Changan said with great certainty.
"Okay." Li Hongfang said enthusiastically, "What are you betting on?"
"If you lose, you turn yourself in and explain how many graves you have dug over the years."
Li Hongfang suspected that he had not heard clearly.
Liu Changan repeated it.
Li Hongfang laughed awkwardly, "Well...how are you going to prove that you are right?"
"I lost. I'll tell you where the first version of "Along the River During Qingming Festival" is." Liu Changan said coldly.
"The first version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"?" Li Hongfang was shocked. This... if this thing really came out, it would shock the whole world, right? For a national treasure of this level, Li Hongfang felt that with his courage, even if he knew that
I don’t dare to pick it up anywhere. Although the treasure is good, I have to live to enjoy it.
"Of the "Along the River During Qingming Festival" that exists in the world, most scholars will argue about the meaning of this name... In fact, they have not considered this painting by Zhang Zeduan. It is not out of pure artistic creation needs." Liu Changan turned on his mobile phone.
I showed Li Hongfang his recent book purchase record.
""The Power of Time: Photography of the 40 Years of Reform and Opening Up"?" Li Hongfang didn't understand what the relationship between "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and such a photographic record book were.
"Many scholars use the details in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to try to prove that the time in this painting is not the Qingming Festival... Of course not, just like the book I bought, it does not record one or two years. Written by Zhang Zeduan
This painting is in the name of Zhao Ji to record the images of Tokyo. He did not deliberately choose a certain season, but mixed the appearances of all living things and the various forms of the city into it. Its meaning is to a large extent the same as the book I bought.
It's the same. Do you understand?" Liu Changan looked at Li Hongfang's stunned look and knew that such a statement was not mainstream in the current Song Dynasty painting research community, but he didn't care, "Think about it, this is to show the emperor the city's style.
For the paintings of the Qingming Festival alone? What if the emperor wants to see the scrolls of other festivals? You, Zhang Zeduan, are going to paint such a masterpiece again? Wouldn’t that be exhausting?"
"I see... Then Qingming Festival means Qingmingfang, and going up the river means Bianhe River?" This is not the first time Li Hongfang has heard this interpretation of the name of a painting.
"Yes, and the first version of "Along the River During Qingming Festival" is the real Qingming Festival Tokyo picture scroll. After Zhang Zeduan painted this painting, before presenting it to Zhao Ji, he invited his friend Jiuzhou Fenglei Swordsman to taste it.
A swordsman who also had superb painting skills, but did not seek to be famous in the world, was charitable, elegant and unparalleled in benevolence, reminded him that with Zhao Ji's perspective, he might be asked to paint Tokyo scenes at different festivals in the four seasons. Zhang Zeduan understood
He came over and quickly redid "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and added many details in the painting that made Zhao Ji unhappy but not suitable for blaming him. After that, Zhao Ji would naturally not give Zhang Zeduan the responsibility of recording the scenery."
Liu Changan sighed softly, "It's a pity that Wang Ximeng didn't have the guidance of an expert, so he worked hard to paint "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which overused the young man's enthusiasm and energy and destroyed his body."
"How do you know?" Li Hongfang looked at Liu Changan dumbfounded. She had never heard of these things. Where did Liu Changan get the information?
"Tell me, do you want to make a bet? Zhang Zeduan's first edition of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was given to the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman. If you win, the painting will be yours." Liu Changan spoke calmly, slightly comforting her and agreed.
The meaning of bet.
Li Hongfang hesitated for a moment. Liu Changan's words were so conclusive and overwhelming. Could it be that what he said was true?
It's really impossible to tell... But this bet... Li Hongfang really wanted to see the hidden national treasure reappear in the world, but he actually asked himself to surrender?
Judging from his usual behavior, I don't see any discrimination or resentment towards her profession?
Surrender... You must not surrender. Li Hongfang doesn't think that everyone inside is talented and speaks well.
If she went in, she would be in the women's prison. The women in the women's prison were indescribable.
Why is he so sure? He can even let her get the first edition of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"?
He is the guardian of the living coffin, or the object of admiration of people like Su Nanxiu...Li Hongfang suddenly had an idea and looked at Liu Changan in surprise, "I know who you are!"
Liu Changan looked at Li Hongfang in surprise.
He has not revealed any conclusive evidence that he is the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman. Could it be that just because he knows some secret history, this person can conclude that he is someone from the Song Dynasty?
I'm afraid there's something wrong with his brain, but even his own fairy sheep started to have wild ideas after witnessing him jumping off the building.
"You are the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Swordsman..."
"I……"
"You are a descendant of the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman!"
"I..." Liu Changan opened his mouth and nodded. I am my father, I am my son, and I am my descendant. This kind of misunderstanding is not uncommon. Who has not experienced it several times?
"No wonder you know better than me!" Li Hongfang was still immersed in excitement. "I didn't expect that my ancestor's close friends from the past would also have descendants whose blood has survived. We can't be considered acquainted without fighting."
As he spoke, Li Hongfang patted Liu Changan on the shoulder to express his excitement.
Liu Changan pulled her hand away and dusted his shoulders.
"Sorry, I dragged you to find your ancestor's treasure." Li Hongfang said with some embarrassment. This... I really can't blame myself, I really can't think of his true identity.
"It doesn't matter... If Li Daoren hadn't been buried with only a door panel, he would also have treasures, and I would take you to dig for them." Liu Changan waved his hand, "Class is over, I'll draw a map for you."
Map? Li Hongfang was a little confused.
Liu Changan drew a map of the geographical situation of mountains and rivers, as well as a general layout map of the underground palace. After so many years, he could not remember them all clearly, and he was unwilling to look through the layers of his memories.
Memory, when you turn it over, it's all ashes and debris.
"This is the treasure map of the Kyushu Wind and Thunder Swordsman. The geography of the mountains and rivers has not changed much. At most, the vegetation and artificially changed topography can confuse people. But you are an expert, and you will definitely be able to find it with this map." Liu Changan handed the map to him casually.
Li Hongfang.
Li Hongfang looked at Liu Changan in disbelief.
"If you take the first edition of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", you will probably be in danger of your life. You'd better hand it over to the state, but it's okay if you keep it for yourself. There's really nothing else left." Liu Changan said calmly.
said.
"Why...why don't you dig it yourself?" Li Hongfang looked at this mysterious figure whose behavior was unexpected and completely impossible to predict by ordinary people.
"It's troublesome...and you didn't mention it, and I haven't thought about these things." It would definitely be troublesome to deal with these matters by myself, and it is most appropriate for Li Hongfang to handle this matter.
"Aren't you afraid... I'll run away with "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"?" Li Hongfang really didn't dare, but the so-called guarding against others is indispensable, so he trusts her so much? This comes from his own admiration, but not too much
The trust of familiar people is really touching.
"Then I'll kill you now." Liu Changan thought for a while and felt that what Li Hongfang said made sense.
"I...I won't run away!" Li Hongfang was startled.
"Let's go." Liu Changan waved his hand, turning the page of an old story again.
Li Hongfang quickly took the map, crouching down, and ran out of the classroom. After walking a long way, Li Hongfang felt that his back was wet. The gentle words "kill you" were even more intrusive than Su Nanxiu's threats and inducements.
More terrible pressure.
Liu Changan watched Li Hongfang leave and sighed softly, "Now the property has returned to its original owner..."
Li Daoren, a strange man in the Song Dynasty, first met the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Swordsman in a tomb. Later, he followed the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Swordsman to Tokyo. He went to the Imperial Academy under the name Zhang Zeduan when he was young and wrote "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". After Kaifeng was destroyed, he wandered around with the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Swordsman.
In the world, there is no trace of the rest of my life in official history, and my life span is more than 130 years old——
