Chapter 1022 Eight Great Mountain People
ps: It’s late month, please support the monthly ticket, thank you.
It is unclear whether Banshan Temple can become a famous temple, Baoshen King, but I know that I haven’t seen it for a while, Banshan Monk has become more solemn, looking like a virtuous and magnificent monk.
Of course, the monk Banshan has the style of a master. After more than half a year of training, his cultivation will definitely become more and more diligent, and his every move will naturally become more and more stylish.
"Amitabha."
At the right time, the monk Zhan Yan from the mountain smiled and said, "The donor is joking again."
"The truth is definitely the truth."
After some greetings, Wang Guan sat down, took the tea handed over by the monk Banshan, took a sip, and felt a peaceful breath surrounding him.
However, this is not the function of tea, but the layout of the abbot's room, which gives people this feeling. The pure wooden structure room is full of Tang Dynasty-style coffee tables and exquisitely woven futons.
Sitting in the middle, you can see the high walls and red tiles outside the window, and a few bitter bamboos fluttering in the wind. As the mountain wind blows, you can not only hear the sound of bamboo branches swaying, but also hear the sound of wooden fish bells.
Such an environment naturally creates a sense of tranquility and peace, which makes people feel soothed and very comfortable. Speaking of which, it is caused by the noise of urban life, so for modern people, the silence of ancient temples in the mountains is an irresistible temptation.
Wang Guan sat for a while and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.
"This fully shows that the king and donor have a fate with the Buddha." At the same time, the monk Banshan reiterated the old tune: "Since you know the hustle and bustle of the world, why not just become a monk and escape from the world?"
"I'm ready to get married, so why are you still going to have a family?" Wang Guan rolled his eyes.
"Amitabha, what a pity." When the monk Banshan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head. His eyes were filled with great young people, and he sighed like this.
In this regard, Wang Guan felt that he had no common language with the monk Banshan, so he naturally did not match this accent. His vision was also swept through the abbot's room, and suddenly he discovered something.
"Huh."
At the right time, Wang Guan said in surprise: "Master, it's so elegant. Did you paint this painting yourself?"
Yu Feibai and Tang Qinghua quickly looked at it and saw that a painting was indeed hanging among the wall. The calligraphy of Monk Banshan was good, which is what everyone knows, but they didn't expect that he actually knew painting.
"no."
However, the monk Banshan shook his head and said, "This is something sent by a guest. I hope I can help me to consecrate and pray for blessings."
"oh."
Wang Guan and others suddenly realized it, and didn't find it strange. After all, nowadays, both powerful and wealthy businessmen prefer to ask monks to help consecrate, and the things they send are even more strange. Calligraphy and painting are normal, and other luxury cars, luxury watches, pens and mobile phones are all available.
Wang Guan also heard that someone asked the master to consecrate the wine he wanted to drink.
In this regard, Wang Guan could only sigh that the forest was so big that there were all kinds of birds. Then again, the painting seems to be painting a bird, a rather weird bird.
After a closer look, Wang Guan said in surprise: "It seems to be a painting by Bada Shanren."
"That's right. It's really a painting of the Eight Great Ones." Yu Feibai looked at it and immediately agreed.
"Is Bada Shanren, one of the four monks of the Qing Dynasty?"
After operating Zhengyaxuan for a long time, Tang Qinghua has more or less understood some common sense, so he naturally knows the background of Bada Shanren.
As one of the most famous painters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Bada Shanren was very famous. They were very popular both at that time and in later generations.
For example, the great painter Qi Baishi once wrote poems to praise him, and one sentence was that Qing Teng Xue was a mortal fetus. Qing Teng was Xu Wei and Xu Chang, and was named Tianchi Shanren, Tianchi Yuyin, and Qing Teng Old Man.
As for Xue Ge, he was naturally Bada Shanren. He was originally the prince of the Ming Dynasty. After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. In his heart, he simply turned his head into a monk, saying that he did not belong to the secular people and did not accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty. To this day, everyone admires Bada Shanren's patriotic sentiment very much.
Of course, the most important thing is the works of Bada Shanren. The brushwork is characterized by being unrestrained and unrestrained, vigorous and round, and elegant. Whether it is large or sketched, it has a simple, refreshing, bright and vigorous style. The composition and structure are not out of the ordinary, so it seeks completeness in incompleteness, is extremely creative, and has a profound influence.
The Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the mid-Qing Dynasty, the Shanghai School in the late period, and the modern masters such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Pan Tianshou, Li Kuchan were all deeply influenced by his painting style. In short, Bada Shanren's works are very expressive in the market. To put it bluntly, the prices are very high, and it is normal to have tens of millions of dollars worth of them, and it is not uncommon even if they exceed 100 million.
"The donor has good eyesight."
At the same time, the monk Banshan praised: "That's right, this is the painting of Bada Shanren."
"This is not a matter of vision."
At this time, Wang Guan shook his head and smiled: "To be honest, among the many painters, the calligraphy and paintings of Bada Shanren are the best to identify. Especially the pictures of flowers, birds, fish and insects, they must be accurate at a glance."
"Opportune."
In an instant, Yu Feibai nodded repeatedly and said, "I feel so too."
"Why?" Tang Qinghua was a little surprised. He obviously only knew Bada Shanren, but he didn't know it thoroughly enough, otherwise he wouldn't have asked this.
"Simple."
At the right time, Wang Guan smiled and said, "The theme of Bada Shanren's flowers, birds, fish and insects has a very distinctive theme and its characteristics are extremely prominent. As long as you pay attention, whenever you see the eyes of birds and fish, it seems like rolling your eyes, ten of them will be the works of Bada."
"Rolling your eyes?"
Tang Qinghua was stunned, then compared the pictures on the wall and immediately understood the meaning.
Mainly, there are such distinctive characteristics in Bada Shanren's paintings. When drawing the eyes of fish and birds, they prefer to use symbolic and meaningful techniques. They are somewhat exaggerated to draw the eyes wide, but the pupils are only a small point, and most of them are white.
This kind of characteristic of showing off one's eyes is actually dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty's rule, but he is unable to fight, so he can only express his disdain and nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty in this way.
Of course, this distinctive feature brings a lot of convenience to everyone's identification. At a glance, you can probably confirm that the thing is the work of Bada Shanren, and then verify the authenticity of it.
However, those who dare to send them to consecrate should be the original one. After all, with the eyes of Monk Banshan, if someone brings a fake to ask him to consecrate, he will definitely refuse politely and cannot afford to lose this person.
"The eight major paintings need to be carefully viewed."
While speaking, Wang Guan also stood up and walked to the wall to look at it. He also admired Bada Shanren. After all, according to the region, he and Bada Shanren are fellow villagers.
Most of the life of Bada Shanren should have been wandering everywhere, but in his later years, he lived in seclusion in Nanchang. Now, there is a Bada Shanren memorial hall built in Nanchang. Because of his experience of traveling around, Bada Shanren's works are natural, with concise writing, magnificent, and unique, creating a noble and translucent style.
When painting fish and birds, you must roll your eyes. When painting landscapes, you often take desolate and sparse scenery, leaving the mountains and rivers, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by the paper. It can be said that there are not many ink dots and many tears dots, and the mountains and rivers are still the old ones.
"Is it an authentic work or a fake?"
At the same time, Yu Feibai was curious and asked. Even if he could be sure that it was not a modern fake, it might be a fake from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. You should know that in the mid-Qing Dynasty, a hundred years after Bada Shanren's death, his fake paintings had already spread all over the world. During the Republic of China, Wu Changshuo even issued many fakes in Bada Shanren's paintings, which were unbearable to the eye.
After all, during the Republic of China, due to the demand from overseas markets, especially Japanese, eight major fakes were flooded. Whether it was flowers, birds, landscapes, or calligraphy, they were forged. Among the many imitations, the famous painter Zhang Daqian was the most realistic forged. He not only could imitate, but could also be created on the wall based on the style of the eight major.
Moreover, because it is too realistic, many imitations are still collected in museums at home and abroad. Now, Bada Shanren's paintings are mixed, and many fakes are included in various catalogs.
In addition, with the prosperity of the domestic art auction market in recent years, the market for calligraphy and painting has rapidly heated up, and the number of fake works by Bada Shanren has also been increasing year by year in the auction. Although there are more than dozens of works by Bada Shanren in each auction hall, according to insiders, the original works are less than two or three tenths.
Those who are more kind are old imitations from the Republic of China period. Those who are not kind enough can fool people with the latest new imitations. Moreover, some imitations are quite poor, and their ink is rough. You can tell at a glance that they are fakes.
Of course, this work is naturally impossible to look fake at first glance. On the contrary, it is very charming. The picture shows a rough and ancient tree trunk with a strange bird on it. The strange bird lives on the branches, with its wings tightly closed, but its head is sideways. Among the peanut-sized eyes, there is only a little the size of mung beans, and most of the rest are blank.
Such posture and such expressions are shown with rolling eyes, as if they are despising someone, full of aura of arrogance and cynicality. The style of the picture exudes a vigorous and simple spirit in the desolate and cold rope. This is the unique style of Bada Shanren, which is easy to recognize.
In fact, Wang Guan felt that the reason why Bada Shanren was famous all over the world was largely because he created this generation of painting style. Compared with other mediocre painters, his works are highly recognizable. Seeing works of this style, you can directly associate them with Bada Shanren. Their fame naturally accumulates over time and becomes an irresistible trend.
However, similar styles may not be the original, and they still need to be carefully identified.
“The book looks real.”
At the right time, Yu Feibai habitually looked at the works. After all, book games are like a person's signature, and in general, it is easier to see some clues.
Especially when Bada Shanren signed his signature in his later years, he often wrote Bada and Shanren in a vertical manner. The first two characters are like crying and laughing, while the second two characters are similar to words, which imply that they are crying and laughing, which means they are not able to laugh.
