Xu Yaohui first studied Zhu Yunming's calligraphy works, which was also his favorite famous artist. At that time, the Ming people also highly praised Zhu Yunming and called him "the first in the country."

Zhu Yunming, the top rank in the country, did not make a false reputation. At least in Xu Yaohui's opinion, he deserved it.

The bitter Zhou Xia could only appreciate the other two calligraphy works first.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the store at this time, and the place was large enough for them to appreciate it. Wang Mingzheng knew that the two young people were the helpers invited by Xu Yaohui. Of course, he thought that it was more likely that they would learn things as they watched the fun. If they had any unique insights in appraisal, Wang Mingzheng was the first one who did not believe in it. His age and experience were all here. Calligraphy works like this, without decades of practice, and it was difficult to see what was contained in it. It would be nonsense to make the most correct appraisal.

Wang Mingzheng could tell from the identification techniques of Zhou Xia and Su Xiaoru that he was simply a completely amateur!

Of course, to put it nicely, they can also be said to be very smart, quite self-aware, and knowing to work hard on paper and ink first. Instead of being arrogant and overestimating their ability to identify the pen tip, style, and aura of calligraphy works that they are not good at.

From this point of view, these two people have a good understanding and are still worthy of making.

Zhou Xiake doesn't care what Wang Mingzheng thinks about him, he can identify him anyway.

He looked at this cursive script of Zhang Ruitu carefully and saw that the paper and ink were very modern. The inscription was written on the cursive script of Zhang Changgong Ruitu.

In the Jiazi year of the Apocalypse, it was the fourth year of AD.

Although he is not familiar with Zhang Ruitu's calligraphy works, it is relatively easier to identify this work.

Just let the system identify it, and the time of creation of this painting can be seen.

But before he made a complete appraisal, Zhou Xia, as always, still did not plan to ask the system to come out.

He has seen that paper and ink have indeed come to the ages, and the traces of various folds are very contemporary, and they are not as if they are fakes.

I appreciate the above content again, it’s a coincidence! Zhou Xia learned the article written in cursive script when he was in junior high school. Although he still can’t remember it completely and cannot write it down, he still has a very deep impression.

This is written on Tao Yuanming's Tao Huā Source Record.

Taohuā Yuan Ji is a popular masterpiece. It is adapted from the famous poet and painter of the Tang Dynasty, the seven-character Yuefu poem adapted from this.

Peach Land is also the most ideal place to hide from the world in everyone's hearts, and it has become the purest and cleanest spiritual paradise.

"During the Taiyuan period of Jin, people from Wuling caught fishing..."

Zhou Xia felt that these originally familiar Taohuā Source Records were a little numb when he read the contents of these originally familiar Taohuā Source Records.

Because Zhang Ruitu's cursive script is indeed quite sloppy and can definitely afford the word "Qiyi". However, many characters have a crazy and weird structure and are difficult to identify; Yi is also a bit too much, and many of them use excessive pens, just like ghosts painting peach talismans.

This is difficult for Zhou Xia. He combined the context and even guessed it, so he read the Taohuā source throughout the whole article. Many words were written in that Zhou Xia did not recognize it. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was drawing talismans.

"No wonder Zhang Ruitu is often called Mercury. I didn't understand why it was said that by hanging his calligraphy and paintings on the wall, you can avoid fires. Now I finally understand that such strange works are the most suitable for using them as talismans to ward off evil spirits and disasters." Zhou Xia secretly complained in his heart.

However, this is similar to Zhang Ruitu's usual style. It is a bit extreme and extreme, hard and stubborn, and exposed, not as implicit as advocated by literati and scholars. It seems that it is not particularly high, but to say it is unique, it is true. It is all like this. It would be too biased to associate it with the feminine and charm that was very popular at that time.

When later generations commented on his paintings, they were often combined with his political performance.

The reason why he was remembered by Zhou Xia was precisely because Zhang Ruitu had a sign of "Eunuch Party".

Zhou Xia could understand politics! That's all. At that time, neither the eunuch party, the Chu party, or the Donglin party, they were all not good people. Relatively speaking, Zhou Xia had a worse taste for those Donglin party members, was invincible, and had no moral integrity.

Putting aside these things, Zhou Xia felt that this cursive script from Taohuā Yuanji is quite similar to Zhang Ruitu's style.

There are also many seals, bell seals, and collection seals on this work, although some are seals of people known to Zhou Xia.

If you really want to make the most complete and accurate appraisal of this work.

There are a lot of things Zhou Xia needs to prepare and the information he has to check.

First of all, it is best to find the authentic works of Yihun Zhang Ruitu as the standard, and conduct one-by-one comparison and analysis, calligraphy style, writing habits, the use of the tip of the pen, the light ink color, etc.

In addition, he also had to make the most accurate identification of all the seals on it, including Zhang Ruitu's own bell seals, as well as the collector's seals behind it. Those who have collected this work must also find out one by one to see if these seals match the seals on other works they have collected.

This is undoubtedly a arduous and important task. It is impossible to figure it out in less than ten days and half a month.

The most confusing thing is that Zhou Xia has not found Zhang Ruitu’s original works to compare them in a short period of time. This is the first time he has seen Zhang Ruitu’s works, so it is easy to make a hasty appraisal, but the real situation is left to fate.

From a subjective perspective, Zhou Xia believes that this work should be real.

But if someone deliberately fakes or imitates it, but later generations can copy it carefully, it can still achieve this level. It is not embarrassing that Zhou Xia cannot identify it before he has mastered his skills in calligraphy. As long as he works harder in the future.

But at present, he didn't have so much time to check the information, so Zhou Xia asked for a universal system to make an appraisal and see what era this work was from.

If it was really created in 1624, it would be basically certain that this is the original work of Zhang Ruitu, the "eunuch party". If it was not created this year, it would undoubtedly be a copy.

The system soon gave a look and took over "The work was created in 1624 AD."

Zhou Xia was a little surprised. It was really a work of the "eunuch party". I wonder if the handwriting on Wei Zhongxian's stele of immortality was the same. This is really worth pondering.
