    Although Mr. Liu looked a little tired after this step, he still carried out the subsequent work in an orderly and leisurely manner.  And when the blank paper was slowly opened, a painting with the same theme of stone and bamboo appeared in front of everyone.  When everyone present saw this work, they were all excited and amazed, because the author of this painting is so famous. It can be said that everyone in the calligraphy and painting world knows it.  However, the steps to unveil the painting have not yet been completed, so everyone can only suppress their excitement and wait for Mr. Liu to complete all the work.  "Thisthis is actually the bamboo and stone painting created by Zheng Xie [xi¨¨]!" When the entire step of unveiling the painting was completed, Mr. Liu ignored his tired body and looked extremely excited. He picked up the magnifying glass and went up to it.  And murmured to himself.  Some people may not know Zheng Xie, but when it comes to his other name, Zheng Banqiao, I believe everyone will be familiar with it.  Zheng Banqiao, one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" in the Qing Dynasty, was also the most famous and well-known calligrapher and painter of the Qing Dynasty.  Xu Beihong once said of him: "Mr. Banqiao is one of the most outstanding figures in China in the past three hundred years. His ideas, literature, and calligraphy and painting are particularly extraordinary."  Zheng Banqiao was good at both poetry, calligraphy and painting. He was passionate about landscapes and often traveled with poets. His favorite painting was bamboo and stone, which was vigorous and lively. It can be said that his status in the history of painting and his influence on later generations are second to none.  This bamboo and stone painting, as can be seen from the inscription, should be a work given to a friend by Zheng Banqiao. The date is May of the Renwu year of Kangxi, which is the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 1762.  This period was the most mature period of his art. His brushwork was sophisticated and changeable, his paintings were sparse and his artistic conception was far away. It can be said that the four unique features of poetry, calligraphy and painting were combined into one.  The names of several seals and collection seals are all famous people. Judging from this and the handwriting, it can almost be concluded that this painting is an authentic work by Zheng Banqiao.  Of course, no matter whether it is calligraphy, painting or antique appraisal, there is no room for sloppiness. Therefore, we must carefully appreciate the painting techniques and the artistic conception expressed in them. Only these can be confirmed one by one with the characteristics of Zheng Banqiao's paintings.  , can we truly determine the authenticity of the painting itself.  ???????????????????????????????????: There are a few clumps of bamboo standing in front of the rock in the painting, which seems to be completely natural, presenting a natural and interesting scene to everyone.  The bamboos are arranged in an orderly manner, and the bamboo poles are thin and dense, but they reveal a vigorous force. The bamboo leaves are picked and shaved with a hard brush, and they are written in the style of official script. The bamboo trunks are also swaying like the meaning of seal script.  Healthy appearance.  According to Zheng Banqiao's self-titled "Ink Bamboo Picture": "Dongpo and Lu Zhi did not write bamboo, but I often learn from it when painting bamboo. The yellow calligraphy is light and thin, and the thin leaves of my bamboo are imitated; Dongpo's calligraphy is short and strong.  "Fat, I learned from the fat leaves of bamboo." It can be seen that his technique for painting bamboo is derived from calligraphy brushes, which is particularly obvious in this picture.  Look again, the thin leaves of the tall bamboo fill the whole picture, and they are painted with a light ink yellow body brush; the fat leaves at the most important part of the picture are painted with a thick ink Su style fat front, which not only distinguishes them from the tall bamboos and rocks  When opened, it adds to the sense of the picture, which can be described as "genuine, interesting and meaningful".  After looking at the bamboo, let¡¯s look at the stone again. Zheng Banqiao¡¯s painting of stone mainly comes from Ni Zan¡¯s painting method. He uses simple and strong lines to outline the outline without exaggeration; he also uses an ax to chop and rub the stone easily, and ¡°the stone does not stain moss¡±, which is similar to orchid.  Bamboo complements each other and adds elegance.  Although the rocks in the painting are scratched out with a few simple strokes, they give people a strong feeling. This can be summarized by one of his poems, "Only the green mountains are my home, and the cracks in the peaks and roots are filled with autumn sand. Because of this,  Gain strength and rigidity, and survive the east wind without losing weight."  The artistic conception of the rocks fully reflects the artist's strong character. Even if he encountered great difficulties in his life, this character has not changed at all.  The artistic conception of the entire work is a reflection of the artist's own spirit. It can be said that he is firm on the green mountains and does not relax. The roots are still in the broken rocks. They are still strong after thousands of hardships, regardless of the east, west, north and south winds.  Therefore, looking at the entire work, it can be concluded that this bamboo and stone painting is an authentic work created by Zheng Xie and Zheng Banqiao. Moreover, the size of this painting is similar to the size of the previous dianthus painting with open shoulders. It can be said to be very rare. It can be said that this is a  A rare treasure.  "Well, it is worthy of Mr. Banqiao's masterpiece. Looking at it, there is an air of self-indulgence, aloofness and no clinging to the powerful. It is spontaneous and irresistible." After viewing the complete work, Mr. Liu felt relieved.  He couldn't help but admire him in his tone.  The other three people present also nodded in agreement after hearing this. Uncle Wu even patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and said excitedly: "Xiao Chen, you are very lucky!" Liu Laowen  After wordsBut he shook his head and said: "Ziping, I do not agree with you. Without Xiao Chu's eyesight, this painting of luck alone would not be in his hands. You think, you were there at that time, and you can't get it."  You have a better chance than Xiao Chu. Just because your eyesight is not as good as his, the person who finally mentioned this painting was not you but him." After hearing this, Chu Chen quickly said: "This is indeed my luck.  If I hadn't seen it by chance, I wouldn't have cared about that place" Before he finished speaking, Uncle Wu interrupted: "Xiao Chen, Mr. Liu is right, it is true that my eyesight is not as good as yours, the waves behind the Yangtze River  Moving forward, a new generation replaces the old. You, Uncle Wu, and I are getting old too. Watching you grow up is my greatest pleasure. Besides, I still can¡¯t appreciate your great eyesight. Otherwise, how can I appreciate many antiques that I have never seen before?  Treasure?" "Uncle Wu, you" Seeing that Chu Chen still wanted to explain, Mr. Liu also interrupted him and said: "Xiao Chu, your uncle Wu is right, our generation will eventually grow old.  I'm counting on you to take over our class. Xiao Chu, to be honest, you are undoubtedly the best talent in the field of antiques among the young people I have seen so far. A talented person like you can do that.  I am also very happy to take over our class." Seeing Chu Chen becoming humble again, Mr. Liu smiled and said, "But Lu Yao knows the power. If you can not be arrogant or impatient and continue to behave like you are now, then let's talk about it.  Maybe we can have more in-depth exchanges in the future. But you have to change your habit of being modest. Young people, you should be more confident." After hearing this, Chu Chen suddenly thought of something.  It was a possibility that I didn't even dare to think about. I almost cheered for joy. I finally suppressed my excitement and said: "Mr. Liu, I won't say much else. From now on, I will definitely follow your teachings and be a down-to-earth person. I will never  I always disappoint you." "Okay!" Mr. Liu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, don't be so serious. In our industry, we pay attention to one interest and don't put too much pressure on yourself, otherwise it will  It's counterproductive." Then he asked with a smile: "Xiao Chu, what are you going to do with this painting of Mr. Banqiao?" This painting of bamboo and stone needs no introduction in terms of the artist's brushwork and artistic conception.  , that must be top-notch.  Moreover, it has been cleverly hidden for so many years. In terms of appearance, there is no problem at all. It looks like it is still at the time when the artist was creating it.  Therefore, this painting is a rare treasure in every aspect.  For many collectors, even if they only receive such a treasure in their lifetime, it would be quite extraordinary.  Therefore, based on Chu Chen¡¯s inner thoughts, not to mention his love for the work itself, in terms of how much he cherishes the work, he also hopes to keep it for himself.  However, seeing that Mr. Liu really loved this painting, he was a little hesitant and didn't know how to decide.  After thinking for a long time, he said with a hint of hesitation and apology: "Mr. Liu, I really like this work in my heart, and it's really hard to let go." "Xiao Chen" Uncle Wu also heard what Mr. Liu just said.  Understand, don't miss such a good opportunity in vain, so when he heard Chu Chen's decision, he became a little anxious.  However, Mr. Liu interrupted him and said with a smile: "I can only say one word about Xiao Chu's decision, OK! Originally, I was worried that you would transfer this work to me in order to please this old man.  Although I will be happy in this way, your attitude towards collecting antiques has to make me question it. " "In the antique business, if you don't have a sincere love for antiques, no matter how great your achievements are, in the final analysis, it is just a person.  To be honest, I don¡¯t like this kind of businessman.¡± ¡°Xiao Chu, judging from this decision, your attitude towards antiques does not disappoint me. In addition, you have a deep love for antiques.  With your own talent, I believe you will go further and further in the antiques industry. " Chu Chen was always a little worried about his decision, fearing that Mr. Liu would be unhappy. After hearing what he said, he couldn't help but feel.  While I breathed a sigh of relief, I also felt a little scared.  He had never expected that this scene turned out to be Mr. Liu's test for him. Fortunately, he did not give up his thoughts for the sake of temporary gains and losses.  "After hearing this, Uncle Wu was a little embarrassed. He was really worried and confused.  "Okay, please put these two paintings of Xiao Chu here with me first, and I will help you frame them." At this point, Mr. Liu looked exhausted. After all, he was older and spent more energy.  I can't keep up with my physical strength.  Chu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he still asked: "Mr. Liu, don't you know this pretense?"How to calculate the cost of mounting?  " "Okay, old man, am I still short of this little money? If you are willing, just leave this painting with me for a month. What do you think?  "Mr. Liu waved his hand and said with a smile. Of course, Chu Chen readily agreed to this request. After that, the two of them saw Mr. Liu's tired look and left. After sending them out, Liu Qinshu asked Mr. Liu: "  Dad, what you just meant was that you wanted to accept Xiao Chu as your disciple?  "
