005. The ghost hand of the years, the sea turns to the mulberry field
Professor Zhou Xiaoxian is 58 years old. He currently works in the Cultural Relics Protection Office of the Palace Museum in Beijing. He is also the executive director of the Cultural Relics Restoration Committee of the China Cultural Relics Association and a doctoral supervisor. He is well-known in the cultural relics collection industry and has a nickname called "Ghost Hands".
". His level of restoration of various cultural relics, especially ancient porcelain, is simply superb. He has been engaged in the protection and restoration of cultural relics for many years, and has restored countless treasures handed down by his hands.
As the top expert in the protection and restoration of cultural relics, and of course the most authoritative expert in cultural relic identification, it’s a great deal to have Zhou Xiaoxian on today’s program! Although Zhou Xiaoxian’s academic research focuses on ceramics and painted sculptures
However, for a cultural relic expert like him, the identification of various cultural relics is based on analogy. The two experts next to Zhou Xiaoxian also have different emphasis on the identification direction. One of them is proficient in calligraphy and painting research, and the other is proficient in calligraphy and painting research.
He is very good at appreciating jade and bronze ware.
When Li Wan handed over the painting, the calligraphy and painting expert on Zhou Xiaoxian's left frowned. The reason was simple. The scroll and scroll were so new, it was as if they had just been bought from a handicraft store! There were many people in the audience.
The audience also had the same question, but considering that it might have just been framed, it could not be identified until it was opened.
In such an occasion, the possibility of an authentic painting from the Tang Dynasty appearing is so slim that it is almost like a joke. No one thought that this painting could be authentic. Even the copies made in later generations have exceeded the expectations of the program team.
Zhou Xiaoxian took the scroll with a confident smile, but his expression was slightly startled, and his movements were frozen there for a few seconds! It is difficult for ordinary people to understand what he felt at this moment. Zhou Xiaoxian has restored many cultural relics in his life.
This kind of work requires serious concentration and whole-hearted devotion that ordinary people cannot imagine. After he reached middle age, he gradually developed a feeling, as if the fragments of cultural relics had a life of their own, and he could even strangely feel them breathing in their sleep.
.
It may sound fantasy, but it is not fiction. Each cultural relic reappears its original appearance in his hands, just like waking up from a deep sleep and telling stories. The artifacts themselves have the aura of accumulation of time, and the mind can be immersed in them.
I really feel that Zhou Xiaoxian is the best at repairing porcelain. Even if two very similar pieces of ancient porcelain are mixed together, he can easily separate them with his hands, so he is known as the "Ghost Hand".
However, Zhou Xiaoxian himself does not like this nickname, thinking that it has too strong aura of martial arts. He is an academic expert, a scholar who has been engaged in cultural preservation work all his life, and is not a collector of Taobao. At this moment, he took over from Li Wan
As I passed the scroll, I had a strange feeling.
Although the picture scroll has not been opened, there is a strong aura of vicissitudes of time in the hand. Zhou Xiaoxian was puzzled. This feeling cannot be fake, nor can it be achieved by any old-fashioned means. However, this picture scroll does not have
Any traces of old age! Could it really be an authentic work from the Tang Dynasty? He came to his senses and couldn't wait to unfold the scroll...
The camera's lens was focused on Zhou Xiaoxian's expression, and another camera was focused on the painting unfolded in his hand. According to the director's arrangement, an advertisement would be inserted at this point in the program, and the identification results would be announced after the advertisement. However, there was no interruption during the recording.
, there is a large screen on the central background wall of the scene, which plays the scene of Zhou Xiaoxian opening the scroll, and everyone in the audience can see it clearly.
When the scroll was unfolded, there seemed to be a layer of water-like ripples on its surface, as if something was dispersed invisibly. No one else could see it clearly, only Zhou Xiaoxian, who was holding the scroll, felt it inexplicably.
For a moment, his expression suddenly became extremely strange.
All the sounds at the scene disappeared, and everyone was stunned and forgot to speak, staring directly at the big screen. But this strange silence only lasted for a few seconds, followed by a burst of laughter, and many people
I even laughed to tears!
When Zhou Xiaoxian unfolded the scroll, the treasure holder Li Wan was so nervous that his throat went dry. Reason and common sense told him that the possibility of spending 8,000 yuan to buy an authentic Tang Dynasty painting at a used bookstall was almost non-existent.
, but no one can say that there is no chance of a fluke happening. If you think about it, most people will have this reaction, and Li Wan is already calm.
Li Wan didn't look at the scroll. He had seen that painting so many times, and he couldn't see anything different from it. He just stared at Zhou Xiaoxian's expression intently, as if he wanted to see from the expert's expression.
What's the clue? Zhou Xiaoxian's expression after opening the scroll was very strange. The recording site was silent for a while, and then burst into laughter.
This laughter confused Li Wan, but Zhou Xiaoxian remained silent. Li Wan asked at a loss: "What's wrong? What's wrong with this painting? Why are you laughing?"
Zhou Xiaoxian frowned and did not answer. The calligraphy and painting expert next to him smiled and said, "Did your Tang Dynasty have a Beijing-Shanghai railway viaduct?"
The expert's words were played through the microphone, and there was another burst of laughter. Many people in the audience laughed so much that they rubbed their stomachs. Only then did Li Wan feel that something was wrong. He looked up and saw the big screen, and then lowered his head.
Looking at the unfolded scroll in Zhou Xiaoxian's hand, he stood stunned on the spot.
That painting indeed depicts the scenery of Shantang Street in Suzhou. It is very similar to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" or "Prosperity of Suzhou". But no matter who it is, they can tell at a glance that it is definitely not an ancient painting. There is no need to
Any professional appraisal. Because in the center of the scroll, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and the Suzhou North Ring Viaduct cross the Shantang River, you can see it clearly!
Not only that, this Shantang Street painting is like an aerial view from a certain angle. It is a completely contemporary landscape. Even the highway outside the pedestrian street, the telephone poles beside the road, and the cars running on the road can be clearly identified.
. Such a painting made all the audience at the recording site laugh, and the laughter kept coming and going.
Although the experts have not yet given the identification results, but - does it still need to be identified?
Amidst the laughter, a loud roar suddenly came out. Li Wan blushed and took the painting from Zhou Xiaoxian's hand, shouting: "No, what I brought is not this painting, it must have been transferred! I
Where are the paintings?”
What Li Wan brought was indeed not such a painting. If it were that way, he would not have come to the final recording site and handed the painting to Zhou Xiaoxian. A special program like this is also a private collection activity.
, after hearing the news, many private treasure holders came. Of course, those who can finally be on the show recording site must be screened by the program team.
The program team's screening is not an authoritative appraisal. It is just a check to select the things that seem to have the most news effect. At the same time, it also eliminates those "collections" that are obviously unreliable. For example, you can't let anyone go on stage with an iPad.
Let Zhou Xiaoxian do the appraisal?
If Li Wan had been holding such a painting from the beginning, it would have been impossible for him to pass the screening of the program team and get here. Before going on stage today, he had just unfolded the painting and handed it to the staff to check that it was correct, and then he rolled up the scroll with his own hands and walked up to the front desk.
During this process, the painting never left the sight of him and the on-site staff!
But when the painting was opened again by Zhou Xiaoxian, the traces of the painting changed, from the landscape of the Tang Dynasty to the scene of Shantang Street in Suzhou today. Li Wan was completely stunned, and his first reaction was that the painting had been
The staff changed the contract, so he couldn't help but get angry amidst the laughter of the audience. No matter who encounters this kind of thing, he will get angry. Li Wan has a good psychological quality. Another person might be in trouble.
Save personnel.
The program broadcast by the TV station was edited until the calligraphy and painting expert asked questions and the audience burst into laughter. Later, the scene of Li Wan flying was cut out. How did Li Wan negotiate with the program team and how did the staff deal with it?
A week later, the audience in front of the TV did not know what was going on. Everyone was just amused and laughed.
For the program recording site, this was an unexpected event, but the accident was very entertaining and eye-catching. In previous similar programs, the director would also appropriately arrange some similar episodes to promote on-site entertainment.
The atmosphere and the broadcast effect of the program were definitely not deliberately arranged this time. No one expected it! After the accident was edited, the effect was indeed very good, so it was still retained during the broadcast.
…
After eating a meal of cheap and high-quality noodles and soup dumplings from a century-old brand, and watching a TV show that made people laugh, Cheng Tianle was satisfied. The discomfort before eating had long passed, and he had even forgotten about the meal.
Bizarre encounter in front of the civet cat statue. After eating and returning to the "company dormitory", Cheng Tianle was embarrassed to let Yu Fei continue to help him carry the bag, so he took the initiative to bring the bag over. Yu Fei just wanted to give him the bag, but was quietly stared at by Liu Shujun
After taking a quick look, I had to put my bag back on my back and make a gesture of hospitality.
Cheng Tianle's luggage was strangely heavy, and Yu Fei, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, really didn't want to continue carrying it for him. He said that the "company dormitory" was nearby, but in fact he still had to walk quite far. The MLM organization "picked up new friends"
, the introducer has to help the new friend carry the luggage. This is the discipline of the group. On the one hand, it is to make the new friend feel the "care and warmth of the big family", and on the other hand, it is to prevent the new friend from finding an excuse and running away halfway.
Judging from Cheng Tianle's silly smile, he definitely wouldn't run away halfway. But discipline is discipline, even a deceptive pyramid scheme has its own rules to abide by. Under Liu Shujun's supervision, Yu Fei has to carry a bag.
It was already dusk, and the street lights were lit on both sides of Shiban Alley. We walked back along Shantang Street, crossed the railway bridge, and came to the tourist pedestrian street that had undergone commercial development. There were many people on the street, and there were shops nearby.
The door was also open, and Liu Shujun said: "Turn right ahead and cross the Shantang River. Our company is on the other side of the bridge."
Cheng Tianle didn't want to go back yet. He was not tired after eating and drinking. Anyway, someone insisted on carrying his luggage, and there was a beautiful woman holding his arm. He wanted to stroll around Shantang Street in the night for a while, and it was still early to go to bed.
That's great! Yu Fei added: "Actually, we don't have to walk around Shantang Street all the time. The scenery in the alleys on the other side of the river is also very good. Let's go back early, we still have to walk a while."
When he was about to turn a corner to cross the river at the end of a small bridge, Cheng Tianle suddenly stopped, pointed to a shop next to him and said, "Hey, that painting looks familiar, let's go in and have a look!"
