Chapter 508 Who Is This Taoist Priest?

"You have a great place! Yazhi, yo, look at the flowers and plants, how vigorous they are. It's not easy to grow like this in the capital. You would have been fine twenty years ago, but it's rare to see them now. "Shi Pu brought a group of friends, and felt that the courtyard was very comfortable as soon as he entered, and even his breathing became much easier.

He is also a person who has seen the world, and he has been in many larger and more luxurious courtyard houses than Shen Long's, but there is no one as comfortable as Shen Long's.

"Hey, I don't know many flowers and plants." The gardener who is proficient in gardening saw the flowers and plants that Shen Long brought back from the Kunlun Valley, and immediately couldn't move his feet. Yes, how on earth did you grow them alive?"

"Hey, come and take a look at this painting, am I dazzled, why does this painting look so like Li Gonglin's style?" This surprise was soon replaced by greater surprise.

"Li Gonglin?" As soon as he heard the name, the big guys rushed in, stretching their necks and poking their heads out to stare at the painting on the wall.

"Well, it does look like Li Gonglin. The composition, concept, and brushwork of this picture are quite similar to "The Art Collection in the West Garden"." Someone stroked his chin and praised. Those insiders look at calligraphy and painting like senior fans watch NBA. Like a competition, the author of a painting or calligraphy can often be determined through some details.

One step, two steps, three steps and four steps, like the steps of the devil, needless to say, this is definitely my emperor; just after halftime, the foot is still stepping on the logo, it is blind Throwing a few three-pointers, you can tell you are a primary school student without looking at the number; you are obviously a guard, but you hide in the penalty area and wait for a rebound when defending, it must be me...

This is also the meaning of distinguishing calligraphy and painting. The calligraphy and painting of every celebrity and later generation has its own unique style, and it can be seen at a glance that it is the masterpiece of that big guy.

"Is there still some difference in style from "The Art Collection of the West Garden?" Some people also put forward different opinions, "Here, look at the brushwork of the clothes, it is still the same as the "The Art Collection of the West Garden" I have seen." Something is different."

"Hey, what you're looking at is Qiu Ying's copy. Qiu Ying's brushwork is still different from that used by people in the Song Dynasty. You can understand it by looking at Ma Yuan's copy again; Yo, look at the words next to it, it seems It looks like Su Dongpo's? It's fat and flat, like a toad pressed by a stone, just like Su Dongpo's!" Someone soon discovered that the characters were unusual.

"Well, it does have Su Dongpo's meaning. If you look at the characters on this side, the characters are a bit too thin, like snakes hanging from the treetops, but it seems to be Huang Luzhi's style." Someone pointed to the characters on the other side and said.

Toads on stones and snakes hanging from treetops are words that Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian joked about each other. Su Shi said to Huang Tingjian, "Tingjian, although your writing recently is fresh, but sometimes it is too thin, as if it is hanging on the treetops." snake."

Huang Tingjian said,

"Of course I don't dare to comment on Teacher Su's handwriting, but sometimes it feels fat and flat, like a toad pressed under a stone." These two allusions have also become an important basis for distinguishing their handwriting.

The more Shi Pu looked at it, the more he felt the taste of the calligraphy and painting, so he moved a chair and stood up to take a closer look, regardless of the impoliteness.

"Tsk, look at the ink marks and the color change of the paper. This calligraphy and painting was only written about ten years ago. I was almost terrified just now. I thought it was the authentic works of Li Gonglin, Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian! But then again, this style imitates It's so resemblance, I almost couldn't see it." Shi Pu said regretfully.

This is indeed true. If you don’t believe me, I will show you the video I took that day. It was really made by Li Gonglin, Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian. Shen Long was laughing beside him.

"If it is an authentic work by Li Gonglin, Su Dongpo, and Huang Tingjian, this painting is worth more than one billion yuan. If it can be placed in the hall for people to see, it is eligible to be exhibited in the Forbidden City." Someone shook his head with a smile.

"More than a billion? Su Dongpo's and Huang Tingjian's works alone can fetch hundreds of millions. This is still their second-level work. If this is true, it is a work created by the three of you. The price is at least double the price." It has increased several times, and I am afraid that more than one billion will not be taken down." Someone refuted.

"Even if it's not their authentic work, this painting is still very precious. Zhang Daqian made money by forging Bada Shanren's calligraphy and painting back then, but now the Bada Shanren painted by Zhang Daqian is more valuable than Bada Shanren's own authentic work! But After much deliberation, I never imagined that more than ten years ago, there was someone who had such a thorough grasp of the styles of Li Gonglin, Su Dongpo, and Huang Tingjian." Shi Pu continued to express his opinions.

"According to reason, it shouldn't be. Since you have this ability, everyone is afraid that you have become famous a long time ago. How could we not know? Could it be that you die young? But even if you die young, there will be works handed down. Buried?" The calligraphy and painting circles like to fry the works of dead masters the most.

"Is no one going to see what is written in these words? Old Shi, read it for us, maybe we can find some clues from these words." Someone who couldn't squeeze in behind and couldn't read the handwriting clearly urged.

"Huang Tingjian wrote about the origin of this painting, and mentioned the identities of the people present. Oh, according to the meaning in the text, this gathering was called by Wang Yuanze, Wang Anshi's son Wang Yu. It was Su Dongpo, and Wang Shen was sitting next to him, and the two in front were Guo Xi, a great master of landscape painting, and Cui Bai, who was good at painting flowers and birds..." Shi Pu carefully identified the text and explained that many of these people had participated in the exhibition. West Garden Art Collection.

"Yes, Su Dongpo's appearance is somewhat similar to the one in "The Art Collection in the West Garden", and Wang Shen is also similar, but looks younger." Someone nodded in agreement.

"...The one holding the wine bowl and drinking is Mi Fu, haha, he is unrestrained and unrestrained, indeed has the demeanor of Mi Dian..." Soon Shi Pu saw the end of the text, "Oh, it also said, The core figure of this gathering is the Daoist Shen in the middle, and to thank him for his good wine, everyone made a painting and sent it to him."

"There is indeed a Taoist priest in the middle, but who is this Taoist priest? Since he can get the respect of everyone like them, he shouldn't be an ordinary person, right? Why haven't I heard of it? Could it be that I am lonely and care about it?" Big guy I'm a little confused.

"That's not right, you look at the clothes of the Taoist priests, they don't look like those of the Northern Song Dynasty. Hey, it's a good painting, but it's made a mess here!" Someone pointed to Shen Long's clothes on the painting and said, and everyone also noticed, There is indeed a problem with this Taoist robe.
