Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Although most people did not recognize it directly, they were dumbfounded when they saw this giant calligraphy and painting.

I didn't expect it to be contained in such a small cylinder.

Lin Ran made a gesture of invitation, signaling Jin Xi to step forward for testing.

Jin Xi actually recognized the calligraphy and painting in front of him, which was actually Wu Daozi's "Picture of Farewell to the Heavenly King".

He was also stunned for a moment, at a loss.

Lin Ran was very satisfied with his performance.

The first time he saw this calligraphy and painting was in Liu Jingfeng's shop.

To be precise, this calligraphy and painting is not the original work of Wu Daozi.

Wu Daozi was only good at murals, and the rubbings in front of him were made by a Song Dynasty painter based on Wu Daozi's murals.

The Song Dynasty was an era that worshiped literature, and painting technology reached its peak in history.

At that time, even ordinary people were particularly keen on painting and poetry.

Many of them are interested in this market, but they are not famous. If they paint it, no one will buy it.

In order to survive, they came up with a method.

It is to imitate the paintings of predecessors.

Among them, the one who was imitated the most was naturally the famous painter of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Daozi, who was known as the sage of painting. Naturally, he was not spared.

Wu Daozi's painting style is actually very Buddhist, and his paintings often appear bizarre.

No matter the color or the painting itself, no one else can imitate it.

This time, Zhou Xuelin stood up directly.

He came to the scroll and looked at it carefully.

The scroll is actually made up of three parts and is obviously a rubbing of the mural.

"The Picture of the Heavenly King Sending His Son" is a fantasy scene painted by Wu Daozi based on Buddhist scriptures. It depicts the scene of the gods saluting Sakyamuni at the Tianshen Temple after his birth.

Because this painting was not the original, Lin Ran took it out for everyone to see.

On the one hand, I promised Mr. Xu that I would bring a heavyweight collection to today’s tasting party.

On the other hand, it is also good to take this opportunity to promote your own auction house.

Because not long ago, their auction house auctioned another work by Wu Daozi, so I took advantage of the opportunity to promote it.

He can't really just be a hands-off shopkeeper like Ke Hui. When it's time to promote, he still has to appear in person.

Now that he could no longer care about the competition, everyone gathered around the painting.

After seeing the contents of the picture clearly, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Unable to wait for Jinxi to start the appraisal, Zhou Xuelin couldn't wait to say: "Impossible, Wu Daozi only makes murals, how can he have a painting book?"

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Of course it's not the original work. I can tell it's a copy from the Song Dynasty. As for who copied it, I guess it's Li Gonglin."

Lin Ran touched his chin and said, after all, this world is the same as before.

Although the painting "The Picture of the King Sending His Son Off" is very famous, the earliest records about him can only be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wu Daozi's original works were circulated in the market, but in the end they were considered to be fakes.

In fact, this sentence is not entirely correct. After all, Wu Daozi's paintings are extremely rare.

More of them are copies of Song Dynasty people.

But even so, it is enough to show the preciousness of this calligraphy and painting.

The sage copies of Tang Dynasty paintings from the Song Dynasty were able to copy them so beautifully and gracefully.

They had never seen such exquisite painting skills.

In terms of artistic level and age, it is an all-round victory.

Even Chang Zheng's tone began to stutter: "Is this, is this Sakyamuni?"

"That's right." Lin Ran replied.

From the moment Zhou Xuelin opened his mouth, the game was immediately declared over.

Only now did Jin Xi realize how wrong he was. This was no longer a defeat to his opponent in appraisal, but a defeat in all aspects.

Tang Lanxuan and Mr. Xu ignored their identities, pushed aside the crowd, and came to the painting.

Their eyes projected a kind of fanaticism, wanting to remember every detail in the painting clearly.

Tang Lanxuan even came to the painting and squatted down, sighing: "I didn't expect that a hundred years later, I would still see Wu Daozi's copy."

"Not just a hundred years, the Tang Dynasty has been over a thousand years, right?" Mr. Xu said next to him.

They were so excited that they were a little incoherent.

Not to mention Tang Lanxuan, Zhou Xuelin was filled with admiration.

He finally understood the difference between his disciples and Tang Lanxuan's disciples. Whether it was appreciation or collection, the disciples did not focus on it at all.

Just treating collecting as an arty thing is not a sincere collection.

In fact, when I was studying with him before, Jin Xi often asked him if there was a quick way.

He was also criticized at the time and felt that he should be down to earth.

But for such a noble man, the colorful world outside is so attractive. How can he calm down and study hard?

So he could only teach him some relatively simple things, and because he usually supported the scene, Jinxi was also quite famous in Cangzhou. Local collectors and antique dealers had to give him more or less help. Give him some face.

But this is only in the eyes of ordinary people. If you really meet an expert, this is what you will end up with today.

Zhou Xuelin knew that his apprentice had lost, and now he only had other things he wanted to do.

He immediately turned around, clasped his fists, and said to Lin Ran: "Little friend Lin, I have offended you a lot before, please forgive me."

Lin Ran immediately responded with a salute: "Mr. Zhou is too polite."

After all, the other person is his elder and must show etiquette.

"Little friend Lin, I don't know if I would like to give up this calligraphy and painting."

Just now someone wanted to buy his Tang Dai calligraphy and painting, but he was extremely disgusted.

Now that I want to buy other people's calligraphy and paintings, I instantly feel how they feel.

If calligraphy and painting of this level can be placed at home.

Not to mention how much money can be auctioned in the future, just this value can be used to build a house.

He doesn't need to do too much appraisal at all. It can be seen from the brushstrokes on it that they are definitely the top group of people who copied Wu Daozi's murals. Moreover, there are many seals under the paper, which means that this is the Authentic product from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Lin Ran saw everyone's enthusiastic expressions and couldn't help laughing: "I'm definitely not selling it, but that's all."

Lin Ran turned his head and looked at Tang Lanxuan: "Because I have decided to donate this painting to the museum."

For Lin Ran, this painting is more of a memory.

They met Liu Jiajia and Wu Ning for the first time at the Spark Auction House, and they also played tricks on Warner and sold him a fake painting.

It should now be returned to its original owner.

The other collectors were stunned. This painting belonged to an individual in every sense of the word. Even the museum could not force its recovery. Lin Ran actually offered to donate it to the museum. In their opinion, it was simply incomprehensible. .
