Chapter 967
ps: I am asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month, please support me.
"Sorry, please come back with your tickets."
"I'm sorry, this is your ticket for tomorrow. Please come back tomorrow..."
Suddenly, the scene was chaotic and orderly. Many people entered the museum happily. Naturally, some people who fished in troubled waters were persuaded to leave.
Of course, there were security guards blocking the road in front and cameras watching next to me. I realized that I couldn't fish in troubled waters, so I had no choice but to retreat. After all, in a big city, you still need to have basic skills.
Anyway, the doors opened at eight o'clock, and it was not until after nine o'clock that all the people with tickets entered the museum, and no one was absent. For every ticket sold, someone came.
After that, the door was locked and thousands of people were kept out. At the same time, in the museum, treasures were taken out one by one by special personnel, which naturally made many people marvel.
If it weren't for the fact that photography is strictly prohibited in the museum, it is estimated that the glitter would have been intertwined like rain at this time. However, there is no need for glitter to set off, because the treasure itself is dazzling enough. Seeing these things, many people's eyes will twinkle.
, but it is the reflection of the pearls’ light that makes people feel lost and confused.
"It is indeed well-deserved."
For a moment, many people sighed and felt that the tickets they had spent so much time buying were worth it.
As the saying goes, laymen see the excitement, but insiders see the door. But after the treasures were displayed, both insiders and laymen were first impressed by the charm and were completely intoxicated. After a while,
Some people gradually came to their senses and called on the museum staff to demonstrate the mysteries of the treasures.
After all, among the many treasures, in addition to a few things that can be directly appreciated, there are also some that require manual cooperation to reflect the wonderful characteristics of the treasures. For example, the bottle with dead wood blooming in spring, the Zhong Kui painting that floats when exposed to water, the empty
A holy pottery cup filled with water and self-scented, and...
"Eh."
At this moment, a man who was counting the treasures said in shock: "There is another cup, why is it missing?"
"What cup?"
"The cup that turns wine into blood."
During the conversation between the two, many people came to their senses, which inevitably caused an uproar. It was a big deal that a treasure was missing. Could it be that it was stolen by someone who was hiding it? It’s not surprising that everyone suspected this. After all, over the years, museums in various places have repeatedly
News of the theft popping up, and the reasons given are untenable, really makes people suspicious in this regard.
Of course, smart people know that. Now that these treasures are at the forefront of the storm, there shouldn't be anyone who is blinded by lard and dares to risk the disapproval of the world and play this farce with everyone's attention, right?
Amidst the divergent opinions, the person in charge of the museum had to stand up to refute the rumors. He said righteously that this matter had nothing to do with them. It was the decision of the Xiyi Museum and they were just executing it. As for why the Xiyi Museum did this, the museum is responsible
As soon as the conversation started to change, Wang Guan was immediately invited to the stage.
"Thank you for your concern."
At this time, Wang Guan was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a traditional hairstyle and a pair of large flat glasses. He suddenly became very mature and steady. He looked at least thirty years old.
However, Wang Guan's age is not the focus of everyone's attention. They are more concerned about the whereabouts of the treasure. Especially some foreigners with tall noses and deep eye sockets, at this time, they are adding fuel to the fire and protesting strongly.
In this regard, Wang Guan was very calm and said with a pleasant smile: "Please rest assured, everyone, there was no accident, let alone theft. It has been sent back to the capital now. Of course, we have our reasons as to why we took the things back. Peace of mind, everyone.
Don’t be impatient, please take a closer look at our replacements.”
As he spoke, Wang Guan whispered, and naturally several security guards came out and set up a cordon in the open space. Then two more people walked out. Two people wearing white gloves, one of whom was holding a
Holding a scroll.
At this time, under Wang Guan's signal, the man untied the scroll, then each person took one end and carefully unfolded it. Suddenly, a beautiful long scroll appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"What is that?"
"Draw, a picture."
Some people stood behind and couldn't see clearly, so they had to stand on tiptoe to watch. However, there were also people who were lucky enough to stand nearby and could naturally see very clearly. They were very surprised when they discovered that the scroll was a picture.
Of course, what was surprising was not that Wang Guan asked someone to draw a picture, but that the picture was unexpected. After all, this long scroll is different from a landscape painting or a meticulous painting, but a white drawing. So at first glance, many people were shocked and surprised.
"It looks like a comic book."
At the same time, someone blurted out and told the truth. After all, this is true. The long scroll has continuity and storytelling, and strictly speaking it belongs to the category of comic strips.
"It's not a comic book, but more like the illustrations of those novels from the 1970s and 1980s."
Some people looked at the long scroll carefully and frowned. Their eyes were full of doubts. Is such a thing really precious? Is there something fishy about being qualified to replace the magical cup?
While these people were surprised and doubtful, some experts were very excited, and naturally they had figured out the way.
"Picture of the Holy Relics of Confucius!"
"The lines are smooth, the clothes are flying, and the Wu belt is in the wind. Could it be the authentic work of Wu Daozi?"
At this moment, a group of experts were no longer calm, especially the old expert from yesterday. Relying on the fact that this was his own territory, he directly crossed the warning line and began to study it carefully.
Of course, it was mainly because of Wang Guan's secret signal, otherwise the security would have stopped him long ago. And not only the old experts, but some sharp-eyed people also discovered that there were several smiling old people standing next to them, who were the great experts of the Forbidden City. These people
But Mr. Qian was specially invited to help with the Confucius Holy Relics Picture and to prove to everyone that the thing was authentic.
Not only are they experts from the Forbidden City, Wang Guan also mobilized his personal connections and invited some experts from Shanghai to appear and let them appreciate and verify it in public. Seeing this, other people realized that this thing that looked like a comic strip was actually nothing.
It seems so simple on the surface, but I naturally took a closer look at it now.
After carefully viewing it, everyone was surprised to find that the figures on this long scroll looked like simple outlines, but in fact the lines were very detailed, especially the depiction of the figures' clothing, beards and hair, which were down to the smallest detail and natural.
There is a unique beauty that is a hundred times more vivid than pure comic strips and novel illustrations.
It turns out that comics and novel illustrations are essentially products of printing. No matter how vivid the original manuscript is, it will definitely look very dull after printing.
However, this long scroll of Confucius' sacred relics is purely painted with lines of pen and ink. Different scenes and different character changes are not the same at all. In the legendary Orchid Pavilion preface, Wang Xizhi wrote twenty-one different forms.
Zigzag, but there are hundreds of characters appearing in this long scroll.
Among them, Confucius and his disciples must appear frequently, but when they appear in different scenes, the characters' clothing texture, expressions and manners are completely different. Realizing this, you should know that the author of the long scroll has a very different understanding of this story.
The painstaking effort put into the painting is definitely not comparable to that of comic strips or novel illustrations.
After the expert's explanation, everyone finally understood the value of the thing, which can be described as a national treasure.
It can be said with certainty that line drawing should be the basis of all kinds of paintings. Just like Westerners must practice sketching before learning oil painting, the ancient Chinese also started with line drawing at the beginning.
However, it was the murals in the Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties that developed line drawings to the extreme. During this period, due to the prevalence of religious paintings in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, murals became very popular. Among them, the manuscripts of murals, that is, Xiaoxiang, naturally became popular.
Under normal circumstances, Xiaoxiang must have discarded these manuscripts after the murals were completed. However, some people preserved them and have become the most precious works in modern times. Especially those of great painters such as Yan Li, Wu Daozi, and Han Huang.
The works they left behind are truly unique and are well-deserved national treasures.
Suddenly, someone whispered: "Yan Li and Wu Daozi are familiar to each other, but who is that Han Huang?"
"No, you don't even know the author of the Five Cows, one of the top ten famous paintings in China?"
"I am ignorant, but the Five Cows Picture is one of the few authentic paper and silk paintings handed down from the Tang Dynasty. It is also the oldest existing paper Chinese painting. It can be called a national treasure, extremely rare and precious..."
Ancient times were an agricultural society, and attached great importance to cows and horses. Therefore, these two animal painting themes have endured for a long time, and people still paint them tirelessly until now. Not to mention horse paintings, there are many excellent works in the past, such as the Eight Horses. However,
Speaking of cows, we have to mention the Five Cows Picture.
Zhao Mengfu, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty, once praised Pingdian for his upright demeanor and rare famous pen. In modern times, some people praise the Five Oxen Painting as a national treasure, which can also help us understand the status of things. But it is quite embarrassing.
What's interesting is that the Five Cows Picture is very famous, but most people rarely pay attention to its author, which means that the person who is famous is not famous.
This is not only true for Han Huang, but also for many famous paintings. For example, Han Xizai's Night Banquet. It is estimated that not many people can tell that its author is Gu Hongzhong, a painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. They may even think that the author is Han Xizai.
Speaking of which, the same is true for Wu Zongyuan. Although he has painting skills similar to Wu Daozi, due to various reasons, except for experts, ordinary people have never heard of the name Wu Zongyuan, which means he has been buried.
Of course, ordinary people don't pay much attention to it and just watch the fun, but there are discerning people among experts. After carefully viewing the long scroll, they immediately came to a preliminary conclusion that this is silk silk from the Song Dynasty. Logically speaking, it should belong to Song Dynasty painting.
However, the style of the long scroll is full of the style of Wu Daozi and Wu Dai in the Tang Dynasty. It may be a copy of Tang paintings by the Song people.
"No, it's definitely not a copy..."
