    Hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Uncle Wu and Hu Yong nodded in understanding. This is how life is. Some secrets are often discovered inadvertently. Besides, Chu Chen has picked up so many mistakes before.  There's nothing surprising about finding a gap.  "Brother Chu, you are so lucky." Hu Yong sighed.  Uncle Wu smiled and said: "Having good luck is one thing, and Xiao Chen is careful. The most important thing in the antique business is to be careful. This way, it is easier to distinguish the authenticity, and secondly, there is a greater chance of picking up mistakes." Chu Chen Haha  With a smile, he went to get a screwdriver and prepared to pry the shaft head off.  However, Chu Chen didn't expect that the shaft head was installed very firmly. After prying it for five or six minutes, it was only a little loose.  In fact, the simplest method is to use a hacksaw to cut off the shaft head. However, this method is too violent. Chu Chen does not want to casually destroy the mounting of this painting. After all, the original old mounting is still worth something.  It's money.  Fortunately, it is now a little loose, and it is only a matter of time before the shaft head is removed.  After more than 20 minutes of hard work, Chu Chen finally carefully took off the shaft head, and everyone also found that the front end of the shaft head was covered with a very soft material, which should protect the contents inside.  role.  "Hey, there really is something hidden inside!" Hu Yong looked inside with a flashlight and found that there was actually a roll of something inside.  Uncle Wu said excitedly: "Take it out quickly and have a look." Chu Chen also showed a very excited look. He first patted the other side of the scroll with his hand. The roll inside was stuffed very tightly. Even if Chu Chen patted hard,  , and there was not much reaction, so I had to use tweezers in the end.  "Xiao Chen, I think that paper is very old. Be careful!" Uncle Wu reminded Chu Chen before he started to take action.  Chu Chen nodded solemnly.  Then carefully add the paper inside the scroll and gently pull it out bit by bit.  He didn't dare to use too much force. The speed was like a snail crawling, but he was not impatient. After all, the result given by the superpower was that the calligraphy work hidden inside was created during the Tang Dynasty.  It has been more than one thousand and hundreds years since the Tang Dynasty, and things like paper are most susceptible to the influence of time.  If Chu Chen uses too much force, it may cause irreparable damage. This is obviously a situation that Chu Chen does not want to see.  Therefore, Chu Chen would rather be slower than to be greedy and seek success quickly.  After nearly ten minutes of hard work, the calligraphy work finally showed its nod.  When Uncle Wu saw the paper material of this work, he exclaimed: "It's actually hemp paper!" Hemp paper is one of the papers used for books and classics in ancient my country. It is a kind of paper mostly made of jute, cloth, and rags. Strong paper produced from the main raw material.  It is characterized by long fibers, thick pulp (small bumps on the paper surface) and tough paper that does not become brittle or discolored easily even after more than a thousand years.  The paper used for the work in front of me is white linen paper, which is white and smooth. The back is rougher than the front and has straw sticks and other adhesion.  The texture is thin, but tough.  Generally speaking, hemp paper was mostly used for books (for mounting stele and inscriptions) during the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, hemp paper no longer played a major role. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the use of hemp paper was even rarer. It is extremely difficult for future generations to forge hemp paper.  Because of this, Uncle Wu was so surprised, because this should at least be a work from the Song and Yuan Dynasties.  And judging from the cautious appearance of the original owner, it is very likely that it is a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist from the Tang Dynasty.  Chu Chen also pretended to be excited, and then he quickly put on his gloves and carefully took out the things from the scroll.  Before opening the work, Chu Chen observed it for a while and found that there was no damage to the paper, which made him relieved.  Then, with the help of Uncle Wu, he unfolded the calligraphy and painting work, and a calligraphy work instantly appeared in front of the three of them.  "How is this possible?" When Uncle Wu saw this calligraphy work, he was immediately dumbfounded.  His face was full of disbelief.  Not only Uncle Wu, but also Chu Chen was quite shocked when he saw the full picture of this calligraphy work. Although he knew that it was a calligraphy work through the Lingbao Eye before, it was not convenient to check what it was at the time.  Who wrote it? I just instinctively feel that the author should be extraordinary.  But he never expected that the author would be a calligrapher from the Tang Dynasty, and Yan Zhenqing, one of the "Four Masters of Regular Script" along with Zhao Mengfu, Liu Gongquan, and Ouyang Xun!  You must know that this is the famous founder of "Yan Ti" regular script. It can be said that everyone in the calligraphy and painting world knows about it.  Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan are both called "Yan Liu", and they have the reputation of "Yan Jin Liu Gu".  However, Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is fat and clumsy, and his strokes are not smooth and smooth.The cutting-edge "Fei Bai Shu" of French art is not obvious to Yan.  "Bi Zhen Tu" written by Mrs. Wei of the Eastern Jin Dynasty says: "Those with many bones and little flesh are called Jinshu, and those with many flesh and little bones are called Mo pigs."  However, although Yan Lugong¡¯s calligraphy is fat, it is plump, full, dignified and respectful. It is definitely not the so-called "ink pig". The regular script of Yan style shows the bones and bones in the perfection, the writing force is strong, the power is deep, the momentum is majestic, and it has established a new trend of a generation.  Ouyang Xiu once said: "Yan Gongshu is like a loyal minister, martyr, moral gentleman, he is strict and respectful, and people are afraid of him at first sight, but as time goes by, he becomes more and more lovable. There must be many people who see his treasures in the world, but even if there are many, he will never tire of them.  "Zhu Changwen praised his calligraphy: "The points are like falling stones, the paintings are like Xia Yun, the hooks are like bending gold, and the weapons are like crossbows. They are vertical and horizontal with images, and they are low and ambitious. Since the time of Xi and Xian, there has been no one like Gong."  It had a profound impact on the development of calligraphy art in later generations. Many famous writers after the Tang Dynasty drew experience from Yan Zhenqing's successful reform.  If there is anyone else who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the sage of calligraphy Wang Xizhi in the Chinese calligraphy world, only Yan Zhenqing has this reputation and influence.  The authentic calligraphy of such a famous figure can be said to be a treasure coveted by many collectors and calligraphy enthusiasts. What's more, the work in front of him is actually one of Yan Zhenqing's famous works, "Ode to the Portrait of Dongfang Shuo". How can this make Chu Chen and  Isn¡¯t Uncle Wu shocked?  Of course, after being shocked, the two of them immediately became excited, and immediately moved forward to observe carefully. However, after a while, Uncle Wu said a little strangely: "There seems to be something wrong. How can this "Portrait of Dongfang Shuo" be consistent with  The styles of the inscriptions are quite different, and it doesn¡¯t look like they were written at the same time.¡± Chu Chen chuckled and said, ¡°Uncle Wu, don¡¯t you think the appearance of this version looks superb? I think so?  This should be Yan Zhenqing's work in his later years. " Upon hearing this, Uncle Wu quickly stepped forward and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed as Chu Chen said. You must know that the inscription was originally created by Yan Zhenqing when he was forty-six years old. The font is clear, majestic, and steep.  Opened, but it does not have the physical and spiritual beauty of calligraphy in his later years, so of course it will look different.  Therefore, although this work is not the original version of the inscription "Ode to the Portrait of Dongfang Shuo", its value is not lower than the original version, but higher. It also plays a very important role in the study of Yan style calligraphy.  Next, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu were all immersed in this calligraphy work, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Hu Yong looked a little bored at the side because he didn't understand calligraphy at all, but even if  He didn't understand, but he could see that the calligraphy on it was quite exquisite, and he knew that this work must be very precious.  After a long time, when Uncle Wu came to his senses, he suddenly shouted: "No!" "What's wrong?" Chu Chen asked strangely.  "Xiao Chen, do you know how to protect calligraphy works?" Uncle Wu asked back.  "I know a thing or two." Chu Chen nodded, and then immediately understood what Uncle Wu meant when he said "not good".  Generally speaking, if an object is stored in one place for a long time, its properties are quite stable in that environment. If the environment suddenly changes, its properties will become unstable, causing the object to quickly  Oxidation, thereby being corroded and damaged.  And this situation is irreversible, which is also a problem that has been plaguing cultural relics protectors.  Chu Chen's calligraphy work has been placed in a relatively closed environment like a scroll, which is completely different from the current environment. Therefore, the best choice is to protect it as soon as possible after taking it out to avoid oxidation and reflection on it.  impact.  Fortunately, the air in Beijing is relatively dry, and the weather is not hot now, so the impact is not great, but it is enough to make Uncle Wu very nervous.  So Chu Chen quickly said: "Then let's put the painting away immediately and go to my master to deal with it!" "No!" Uncle Wu quickly waved his hands and said: "We'd better not touch this calligraphy now and let Mr. Liu come over.  It's better to deal with it." "Okay, I'll go now!" Chu Chen nodded and walked out quickly.  "Uncle Wu, how much is this painting worth?" Hu Yong asked curiously after Chu Chen left.  Uncle Wu thought for a while and said: "For calligraphy lovers, this is a priceless treasure. It's hard to say how much it will be worth at auction, but it should be at least several hundred million!" "Can it be sold for so much?" Listen  When Hu Yong saw the price, his eyes widened and he was extremely shocked.  "Of course!" Uncle Wu nodded: "After all, Yan Zhenqing is the first of the four major regular script calligraphers. He is very famous, and his works are collected in museums."??, the public has never seen any auction records. Considering his reputation and the rarity of his works, a few hundred million is nothing.  " Having said this, he chuckled and said: "But the value of this thing cannot be measured by money. If Mr. Liu hears you asking this, he will definitely say that you are a disgrace.  ¡± Hu Yong scratched his head and laughed
