    Everyone discussed for a while and finally agreed with what Wang Ruyang said, so Tian Xingwei quickly took out a brocade box, opened it, put the contents in the box in front of Chu Chen, and said with a smile: "Then, I'll do it first.  Everyone should have no objections, right? " "Mr. Tian, ??why were you so excited just now? It turned out that you wanted to come out on top! If it had been the past few times, I would have had no objections, but today, I am better than you.  "Good morning, I won't agree to this so easily!" "Lao Tian, ??it seems that this artifact of yours is a piece of Ding kiln porcelain. How can such a good thing be in the first place? It has to be the last one  ¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, look at me, apart from a painting, I only have a jade pendant with me. You can show off your style and let me go¡± Seeing Tian Xingwei¡¯s lightning-fast movements, the room felt better.  Everyone was laughing and joking, but Tian Xingwei quickly bowed to everyone with a smile on his face and said countless good things, and everyone let him go happily.  When Chu Chen was about to pick up Tian Xingwei's things to appreciate, he saw an old man in his fifties walking in. He wiped his sweat and apologized to everyone, saying that he was late because of something unexpected.  This person is Lu Chuanxiong, an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal and a disciple of Mr. Ou.  Wang Ruyang quickly said that this was all because they had temporarily changed the time of the party, and he should be the one to say sorry.  After everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries, Chu Chen took the things in his hands and observed them.  However, when he just checked the quality of the thing, he let out a light sigh.  This is a white-glazed jade spring vase with a simple and dignified shape and a vivid and elegant outline.  Gentle and peaceful.  This vessel is as white as jade.  The carcass is light and thin.  The glaze is smooth and smooth, and the brightness can be discerned.  The overall pattern of the bottle is a peony pattern.  The artistic expression technique of flower cutting is adopted, and the workmanship is meticulous. The intertwining peony flower pattern is quite exquisite, and the lines are vivid and natural and smooth.  It should be a typical Ding kiln craftsmanship.  Seeing the surprised expression on Chu Chen's face, everyone gathered around him curiously. It turned out that Chu Chen was surprised because the bottom was actually engraved with "Made by Zhou Danquan" in regular regular script.  "Who is Danquan this week?" Some of the people present were not very familiar with porcelain, while others bought it regularly.  We also know that many people had such doubts about the official kilns of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.  At this time, Tian Xingwei explained to everyone: "Zhou Danquan was a porcelain maker who imitated Ding kiln porcelain in the porcelain capital during the Longqing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the imitation antique porcelain he made was often so fake that it looked like the real thing, so there were many merchants.  They spent a lot of money to buy, and even thousands of dollars competed for the market. Therefore, people called it Zhou Kiln. "Someone immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, ??I think what you said is too exaggerated. No matter how good he is,  Isn¡¯t it a fake? It can¡¯t be compared with the original, right?¡± ¡°You¡¯re wrong,¡± Tian Xingwei said, ¡°Although Zhou Danquan is indeed a fake, his imitation is good.  Even though his imitations are fake, he does not pretend to be genuine. He tells the truth and has credibility; because the imitations made by him are also exquisite.  "Just like Zhang Daqian, who we all know, no matter how cheap his imitations are, they are not much cheaper than the real ones, right?" The man said, "Mr. Tian, ??you are indeed right."  It makes sense, but is Zhou Danquan really as good as you said? If he is really as good as you said, why haven't many people heard of him? And I've never heard of where his productions are hidden.  "Porcelain?" Tian Xingwei laughed and said: "Let's talk about Zhou Danquan's imitation level first, which is recorded in "Shi Zhai Bi Tan"" It is said that one day, Zhou Danquan went to visit his friend Tang Hezheng.  He said to Tang, I heard that you have an ancient Dingding tripod. Can you show it to me?  Tang Hezheng brought it to him, and while he was looking at it, he measured the size with his fingers, copied the pattern of the tripod and hid it, then returned the tripod to Tang Taichang, and they parted ways.  After the farewell, he went to see Tang Hezheng again six months after arriving in the porcelain capital, and said to him: "I also got one of your Baiding furnace cauldrons." Tang felt very strange. When he compared what he had with Zhou Danquan's, they found they were exactly the same.  No difference.  He also put Zhou Danquan's cauldron into the container he used to install the cauldron, and it actually seemed to have a gap.  In addition to being surprised, Tang Hezheng asked where he got the Danquan Cauldron. Zhou Danquan told him: "To be honest, this cauldron is made after yours." Tang Hezheng was very impressed, so he bought it for 40 gold and put it away.  to make a copy.  Later, a man named Du Jiu heard about this and dreamed of the furnace. Finally, he offered a thousand pieces of gold from Tang Hezheng's grandson.Obtained Zhou Danquan's antique Dingding.  After telling this story, Tian Xingwei said with some regret: "However, only one piece of Zhou Danquan's imitation porcelain is kept in the Baodao Forbidden City. Because of his relatively small number of works, many people have never heard of him.  Moreover, after all, Zhou Danquan was a master of antique porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. Lao Liang, you only engage in calligraphy and painting, so it¡¯s normal for you not to know. Just like if you ask passers-by on the road who Xu Daoning is, not many people will know, right?  ." Everyone agreed with Tian Xingwei's words.  At this time, Tian Xingwei said to Chu Chen: "Teacher Chu, it is because Zhou Danquan's works are relatively rare, so I want you to help check and see if they are right." Chu Chen said: "Mr. Tian, ??I really think about this.  It¡¯s hard to say.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Tian Xingwei asked quickly.  Chu Chen explained: "It's very simple. I have never seen Zhou Danquan's works before. Without comparison, it is difficult for me to be sure. Now, I can only rely on the introduction of Zhou Danquan in some ancient books and the performance of this artifact.  I hope you can forgive me for this." Tian Xingwei quickly waved his hand: "When we authenticate antiques, we will always encounter some objective factors. This is not your responsibility."  Hehe smiled: "Okay, let me tell you my opinion" To be honest, Zhou Danquan's level of antique imitation is indeed extraordinary.  This jade pot spring vase imitating the Ding kiln would have been stamped with Zhou Danquan's signature on the bottom.  Not to mention ordinary people, even experts may not be able to tell whether it is true or false.  No wonder the ancients said that Zhou Danquan imitated Song Dynasty Ding kiln porcelain.  Not only is the image lifelike, but the color and texture are no different from Ding kiln products.  He often brought his imitation products to experts for appraisal. Even those experts who were good at retort appreciation could not distinguish the authenticity from the fake ones.  Of course, the reason why the ancients said this is because their observation tools are not as good as modern ones. Just like this jade pot spring vase, under a high-power magnifying glass, you can still find slight differences from the real thing.  The characteristics of this jade pot and spring vase are shown.  After introducing it to everyone, Chu Chen said: "Therefore, I think this artifact should be a genuine one. As for its value, it's hard to say. However, considering its rarity, I don't think the value will be higher than the genuine one."  "It's cheap." "Mr. Tian, ??congratulations!" "Old Tian, ??do you have any idea of ????making a move? You can choose money or things" Regarding Chu Chen's conclusion.  Everyone agreed unanimously.  So, for a while, everyone congratulated Tian Xingwei one after another, and some people even started to think about this jade pot spring bottle.  but.  For Tian Xingwei, of course he wanted to keep such a rare artifact for himself.  As for money, for him now.  It's no longer the top priority.  When Chu Chen was explaining to everyone, several other attendees also arrived.  Almost all the people have come.  When the time was approaching, Wang Ruyang asked Lu Chuanxiong to start the appraisal, and everyone agreed.  In this way, Chu Chen and Lu Chuanxiong made appraisals while the participants expressed their opinions in an orderly manner. Then someone expressed different opinions, making the whole scene lively without losing the purpose of the exchange meeting. The atmosphere was quite good.  In this good atmosphere, time passed very quickly, and within a short while, an hour passed.  At this time, when Chu Chen was preparing to appraise a porcelain plate hanging screen made by Wang Dafan, a master of Chinese ceramic art, he heard Lu Chuanxiong next to him calling him over.  "Teacher Chu, could you please come and take a look at this Huang Quan's work?" After hearing this, everyone turned their eyes and saw that what Lu Chuanxiong was appraising now was a painting of an eagle capturing.  Chu Chen walked over and asked: "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with this painting?" Lu Chuanxiong said: "You take a look first before talking, so as not to make preconceptions." "Okay." Chu Chen nodded and changed.  A pair of gloves, picked up the tool and looked over.  This picture is a gongbi painting with colors on silk. It depicts the scene of a goshawk fighting a rabbit. The painting is easy and neat in writing, and makes good use of color to express the changes in the eagle's feathers, which adds a bit of tension to the picture.  "Moreover, the author's outlines are meticulous, the feathers are free, and the eagle's body is vivid and natural.  The eagle-eyed appearance, especially the handsome hair, shows a kind of majesty.  And the cunning rabbit seems to be flying when it runs, and its side eyes are wide-eyed, and the panic is vivid on the page, and it also seems that the power of the eagle is unstoppable.  In addition, this picture also has the inscription "Picture of Capturing Yellow Quan Eagle in Shu County" and several collection seals of figures from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  Huang Quan was a court painter at the Xishu Academy of Painting in the Five Dynasties. He later entered the Song Dynasty and served as the official of Prince Zuo Zanshan.  In his early years, he excelled in painting?, good at flowers and birds, studied under Diao Guangyin and Teng Changyou, and also worked on figures, landscapes, and ink bamboo.  Li Sheng studied the landscape, turquoise and stone, Sun Wei studied the dragon and water figures, and Xue Ji, the crane master, picked up the highlights of various schools and formed his own school without the rules.  The birds he painted have correct shapes, with both flesh and bones, full images, rich colors, and fine hooks. There is almost no handwriting, as if they were dyed with light colors.  This painting method is generally called "outlining method".  Huang Quan's sons Jubao, Jucai and Jushi all inherited this painting method and formed the so-called "yellow body" in flower and bird paintings.  Like the painting in front of me, the author's brushstrokes are precise and careful, and the atmosphere he creates is even better. The lines are thin and gentle, and he also pays attention to the rendering of colors. He not only depicts the shape of the figure, but also depicts the goshawk and the frightened rabbit.  His inner vitality can be described as "full of character".  Judging from these characteristics, it is indeed in line with Huang Quan's painting style.  After a while, Chu Chen raised his head and said, "Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean" "What is it?" Before Chu Chen could finish speaking, Tian Xingwei interrupted him, a little nervously.  He asked, "I can't help it. Who told me that he bought this painting at a big price?"  "I feel like it's missing some aura of wealth." Chu Chen replied directly.  "Yes!" Lu Chuanxiong agreed with Chu Chen's words and said: "Huang Quan was highly used by the rulers at that time from his youth to his old age. He has been working in the painting academy. He has the convenience of entering and leaving the palace. What he saw  They are all rare birds, auspicious animals, famous flowers, and strange stones. " "In addition, most of his works are based on the emperor's wishes, both in terms of subject matter and expression methods.  Generally speaking, they cannot help but be influenced by the luxurious life of the court nobles, which reflects the aesthetic views and aesthetic requirements of the ruling class. Therefore, Huang Quan's painting style has always been characterized by opulence and craftsmanship.  At this point, he pointed at the painting and said, "But, this painting is skillful and gorgeous, but I feel it is still not as good as Huang Quan's.  "Somewhat." At this time, Wang Ruyang expressed his opinion: "Is it possible that Huang Quan was still young when he painted this work and was not too influenced by the court?" "This is impossible."  Chen shook his head, and seeing everyone looking at him, he continued to explain: "The reason why I say this is because the 'outlining method' used in this work is very sophisticated, and it is definitely not the level that Huang Quan could achieve when he was young.  . Based on this analysis, it can be proved that this is not the original work of Huang Quan. "Hey!" Hearing this, Tian Xingwei sighed and said with a grimace: "I thought I could pick it up."  I thought that in the end, I was picked up by someone else!" Wang Ruyang patted Tian Xingwei on the shoulder and said, "Old Tian, ??there is no need to get too hung up on this.  There are only two works by Quan so far. You should be careful when buying them. "There are many works by Huang Quan. There are 349 works recorded in "Xuanhe Painting Book" alone.  .  But now, there are only two works that are relatively credible, one is Huang Quan's "Sketch of Rare Birds" volume, and the other is the "Bamboo Crane Picture" that has been spread abroad.  In addition, coupled with the scroll of "Mountain Partridge and Thorn Bird" by Huang Jucai, Huang Quan's son, there are only three authentic "Huang School" works that are relatively reliable.  This also shows how precious the work is. As for the possibility of finding something missing, it is definitely very slim.  Tian Xingwei smiled bitterly: "It's not greed!" In fact, if at other times, it would have been nothing if he had been punched once, but now it is a bit embarrassing, especially what everyone has brought so far.  , he was the only one with a problem, which made him even more depressed.  "Mr. Tian, ??you don't have to be so frustrated. Although this work is not authentic, it is still remarkable." At this time, Lu Chuanxiong said: "In addition, based on my experience, I think this should be considered a masterpiece.  Imitation of a famous artist. "Who? Is it Zhang Daqian?" Tian Xingwei asked quickly.  "I said Mr. Tian, ??there is something wrong with your mentality!" "Yes, we have known each other for a long time. Who doesn't know your good-faced character, Mr. Tian? You are the first one to show it.  What's the big deal? Who here has never been so embarrassed? We are all friends, but there is something wrong with this kind of thing!" "That's right, since we are friends, there is no need to be like this"  For a time, many people said that Tian Xingwei was too similar and advised him to relax and not care about the gains and losses.  Tian Xingwei??I immediately reflected on my own mistakes and reviewed my shortcomings with everyone, and my mood became better.  Later, Lu Chuanxiong said with a smile: "At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Zhang Daqian was not the only one who was good at imitating, but there was also a painter who specialized in imitating ancient fine brushwork paintings" At this time, Tian Xingwei clapped his hands: "Hi!  Forgot about Liu Bonian! "Liu Bonian is a fellow countryman of Zhang Daqian. He is superb in copying and copying ancient calligraphy and painting, and he is not inferior to Zhang Daqian at all.  In his early years, he became a disciple of painter Wang Ge and studied Wu Changshuo's freehand flowers. Later, he extensively studied the essence of Song and Yuan paintings and formed his own style.  His painting path is very broad, ranging from the meticulous flowers and birds of the Song Dynasty to the landscapes of Hua Xinluo in the Qing Dynasty.  Liu Bonian's pseudo-ancient paintings have several main characteristics. First, although he was a disciple of his master, his painting style was closer to that of Zhang Daqian. He had a thorough understanding of the works of the Song Dynasty, both in terms of lines and colors.  A great degree of correspondence, lifelike.  Second, his distressing skills are very good. Whether it is the patina on the paper or the "oldness" of the paper and silk, he has done it very well and can be said to be flawless.  Finally, most of the objects he imitated were flowers, birds, and figures in meticulous or small freehand brushwork, and there were no works in the large freehand style.  The reason is very simple. It takes a long time to draw fine brushwork or small freehand paintings, and the process is more complicated and cannot be completed overnight.  If the imitator has a high level of skill and a stable mentality, it will be easier for him to imitate the work to a degree that is close to the original work.  This is the main reason why his antique works can make many great connoisseurs miss them and are collected by major museums.  There is a story here. During the Republic of China, Liu Bonian made up a picture called "Mandarin Fish Picture with Pear Blossoms", which was named after the Song Dynasty painter Li Yanzhi. This work is vivid and natural, without the stiff and cramped feeling caused by imitating the ancients.  After it was completed, the painting was quietly brought to the capital, and then sold to the Shanghai Museum by the art dealer Lu Liting. The Shanghai Museum included it as a masterpiece in the "Painting Garden Zhuying".  After seeing the album, Liu Bonian felt that the situation was serious, so he took the initiative to write a letter to the relevant departments to explain the circumstances of the fake painting. Only then did the truth come to light.  From this, we can also see the high level of his imitation.
