    Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, in terms of calligraphy style, the early brushwork is green and moist, with a legacy of wisdom; the later brushwork is more vigorous and elegant.  Because of the large changes in the early and late stages, and the large number of forgery by contemporaries and later generations, it brings many difficulties to the identification.  In the history of appraisal, there are many examples of genuine works being mistakenly identified as forgeries, or forgeries being mistakenly identified as authentic works.  Therefore, Professor Zheng's statement is indeed reasonable, but Chu Chen can be sure that the work in front of him is not Zhao Mengfu's early work. In addition to being based on the results of supernatural powers, he can tell from the way he uses the brush between the lines.  See the difference.  Therefore, Chu Chen said: "Professor Zheng, the situation you mentioned does exist, but one thing that needs to be pointed out is that in your work, the pen used to write the character Zhao is side edge, and Zhao Mengfu himself, mostly  In this case, the center is used. In addition, the brushwork of this work is frivolous, less varied, and lacks charm. From the style point of view, it should be the characteristics of Zhan Xi, a pseudo-Zhao Mengfu calligraphy and painting of the mid-Ming Dynasty, and Wu Zhen's ink painting.  He is also known as He, Xihe, Zhonghe, and Tieguan Taoist.  He was a scholar at the beginning of the Hongzhi period. He studied calligraphy by Wang Xizhi and Zhao Mengfu. His penmanship was vigorous and he was famous among the officials. He "often used his son's money to pay tribute, and those who knew him could not tell the difference" Mr. Liu nodded and said: "Xiao Zheng, I want to  To do well in our industry, you must have a good attitude and do whatever you want, but you must not get into trouble!" After hearing this, Professor Zheng was silent for a while, and Mr. Ou comforted him: "Xiao Zheng, this is a work of art.  Although it is not an original work by Zhao Mengfu, Zhan Xi's calligraphy is still good. You didn't lose much if you bought it for 300,000 yuan." Professor Zheng sighed and said with a bitter smile: "It seems that you want to be lucky when you buy antiques.  "It's really bad!" "You're right to think so." Mr. Liu said, "You shouldn't have spent so much money on it before. You have to know that you bought it at a stall.  Doesn¡¯t the owner of the stall know the value of Zhao Mengfu¡¯s work? If it is an authentic work, how could he give you a chance to bargain and still sell it for such a low price?¡± Professor Zheng said sheepishly: ¡°I also thought it was an authentic work.  I was afraid of missing out, so I didn¡¯t pay much attention to the price. "You, if you don¡¯t change your temper, you will suffer a loss next time!"  I will definitely pay attention!" Professor Zheng nodded repeatedly, but it is unclear whether he listened.  At this time, Mr. Liu asked Chu Chen: "Achen, what did you bring?" "Mine is also a calligraphy work by Zhao Mengfu. I would like you to evaluate it." Chu Chen said with a smile.  "Ah!" Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, and only then did Mr. Liu understand.  Why were Chu Chen and the others surprised just now?  "How much did yours cost?" Professor Zheng asked.  "Four hundred and fifty thousand, the seller is selling it as a fake." Chu Chen replied.  "So expensive!" Professor Zheng couldn't help but muttered after hearing the price.  Mr. Ou chuckled and said: "The level of imitations also varies, and the reputations of the authors are different. Of course, their prices are also higher and lower. As for Xiaochu's stuff, are they better or worse than yours? Let's take a look first.  Let¡¯s talk about it.¡± Professor Zheng said he knew and waited for him to put away his scroll.  Chu Chen just took the things out of the box.  Seeing the appearance of the hand scroll, Mr. Ou quickly came forward to take a look.  Surprised: "Huaiyang mounting craftsmanship in the early Qing Dynasty?!" "Yes!" Chu Chen replied.  "Mr. District, do you have anything to say about this framing?" Professor Zheng asked quickly.  ¡°Of course it¡¯s nothing if it¡¯s ordinary, but this is a master-level craftsmanship!¡± Mr. Ou said.  "Is this a masterpiece?" Professor Zheng found it a bit incredible that the fake was mounted in such a high-end decoration.  "Yes, this also means that 80% of the works inside should be by famous artists. Although I don't know what this work is like, but under normal circumstances, 450,000 yuan will definitely not be lost. Of course,  There are also those who are wealthy and spend a lot of money to have it framed by a master, but this is relatively rare" At this point, Mr. Ou paused, frowned and muttered: "It's just a little strange, why do I seem to be looking somewhere?  I've seen this thing before" At this time, Chu Chen had already unfolded the scroll. Mr. Ou couldn't wait to take a closer look, and immediately exclaimed: "I thought it was so familiar, but it's actually it!" Everyone met Mr. Ou!  Such a big reaction is all very strange.  Mr. Ou sighed first, and then explained: "I had authenticated this "Luo Shen Fu" at the time, but the original owner was too weird at the time. We just said that the postscript was wrong, and he reacted very excitedly and scolded us.  After a pause?He just took the things and left without any chance for us to express any opinions.  " Hearing this, Chu Chen knew that he had met the victim, and quickly asked: "Ou Lao, is that person's surname Ma?  " Mr. Ou was still very impressed by Ma Laocai. He nodded and said, "Yes, that's the last name. Did you just ask him to buy this thing?  However, it has been several years. Hasn't this person asked other people's opinions?  If you ask me, there is a high chance that this work is authentic.  " "He has asked others, but" Chu Chen smiled and briefly told the whole story. When Mr. Liu and the others heard that this was the case, they all shook their heads and laughed. "Old Lao sighed: "The ancients  It is said that treasures need to be inhabited by virtuous people. Although this statement is quite mysterious, sometimes it is really the case.  Speaking of which, although I was angry at first, when I thought about it later, I felt that it was really a sin for the treasure to be buried because of our words. However, I didn¡¯t have the person¡¯s contact information at the time, so I had no choice but to give up. Unexpectedly, today¡¯s painting of "Luo Shen"  "Fu" happened to me again, so I felt relieved.  " "Ou Lao, according to your opinion, is this "Luo Shen Fu" authentic?  "Professor Zheng asked with some shock. "Ou Lao shook his head: "I can't be sure, but except that Zhu Zhishan's postscript is a forgery, I really can't see any problems in other places. As for what it is, you  You can take a closer look before talking!  " "Then let me take a look" Because the scroll is relatively long, even if three people watch it at the same time, it will not be crowded at all. After Mr. Liu finished reading it, he couldn't help but praise: "The pen is round and round, and the structure is rigorous.  Elegant and graceful, he deserves to be called Zhao Mengfu, what a good word!  However, this tail is like a fly in a delicious dish, it is really unappetizing!  "Ou Lao also frowned and said: "Yeah, I don't know why the guy named Wu left this paragraph on it. It would be okay if he left it alone. Why did he leave Zhu Zhishan's name?  How annoying!  " "Ou Lao, who are you talking about?  "Professor Zheng asked quickly. "Achen, do you know who it is?  "Mr. Liu asked. Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Who else can there be besides Zhu Zhishan's grandson Wu Yingmao!  " "It turns out to be him!  "Uncle Wu and Zhao Xueyi both suddenly realized. Professor Zheng suddenly said: "I read in the past that Wu Yingmao was very similar to Zhu Zhishan, but I didn't expect that when I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved.  " "What a well-deserved reputation, he has no good intentions!  A person who makes money by imitating his grandfather's calligraphy and painting has no better character!  " Mr. Ou said: "I think the reason why Wu Yingmao left Zhu Zhishan's name on this work was because he wanted to use Zhu Zhishan's name to increase the value of this work.  You should know that there is a big price difference between a work without a collection seal and a work with a Zhu Zhishan postscript and a collection seal.  " "Mr. Ou, are you saying that the other two owners of the collection seal were later than Wu Yingmao?  " When Mr. Liu heard this, he smiled and said: "Xiao Zheng, you are still a professor in the history department. Don't you even know the era when Xiang Yuanbian and Gu Wei (same as "Wei") lived?  "Professor Zheng said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Liu, you also know that my main research is the history of the Tang and Song Dynasties. I really don't know much about the literati of the Ming Dynasty. Although I know a little about Yuan Bian, it is limited to  I know that he was a painter in the Ming Dynasty, but I really don¡¯t know much about his life.  "Ou Lao said: "Then you should take some tutoring in this area. Although it is not necessary to be familiar with it, you still need to have some understanding, otherwise you may suffer a loss when buying antiques in the future.  " "Okay, I remember this" "Achen, you should know these two people, right?  " Mr. Liu asked. "I still know this" Xiang Yuanbian was a collector and connoisseur of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty. His courtesy name was Zijing, his nickname was Molin, and he was also known as the No. 1 Molinshanren. He was also known as Xiangya Jushi and retired  The owner of the secret house is rich because of his good management of production. He is good at painting ink, bamboo, plum blossoms and orchids. He is good at collecting inscriptions, calligraphy and famous paintings. His "Tian Lai Pavilion" has an exquisite collection of books.  On the other hand, whenever he encountered Song engravings, he would invite brothers Wen Peng and Wen Jia to appreciate them together. At that time, Xiang Yuanbian of Jiaxing and Fan Qin of Yin County were the leading book collectors.  They were plundered by Commander Wang Liushui and completely lost And Gu Wei was also a collector, and he lived in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. His name was Kailin, and his name was Hedu Fisherman. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he refused to serve in the Qing Dynasty.  . He specializes in collecting books and reading for entertainment. He calls himself a survivor of the Ming Dynasty and engages in the collection of classics out of nostalgia for his homeland. Therefore, he has many historical materials from the Ming Dynasty After introducing two people with collection marks.??Chu Chen added: "I think the reason why this "Luo Shen Fu" is so unknown has a lot to do with what happened to Xiang Yuanbian and Gu Wei. I estimate that Xiang Yuanbian was robbed by Wang Liushui.  Among the many collections, this work should be included. " "Later, Gu Wei obtained this work, but because he hated the Qing Dynasty, he may have been worried that it would be taken away by the rulers if it was publicized.  It has been kept secret, which has led to the obscurity of this "Luo Shen Fu" (To be continued)
