Chapter 335 I really want to meet him

Seeing Yu Yao's serious expression, Zhong Zhong didn't ask any questions for a while.

Yu Yao let out a long breath, "Old Shen, there is something wrong with this painting."

"How to say?" Zhong Yuan's heart sank.

"Let's talk about the material first. This painting silk is old silk, but Song silk is not Tang silk."

"Ah? I've studied it carefully, and it's a single-filament cooked silk, not a double-thread cooked silk! The silk used for the frame is indeed from the early Qing Dynasty." Shen Zhongyuan's eyesight, objectively speaking, is certainly not as good as Yu Yao's, But he is by no means mediocre.

Both silk and damask belong to silk, the main difference is that silk is a plain weave silk fabric, and damask is a twill weave silk fabric.Therefore, silk is more suitable for painting, and silk is more suitable for mounting.

Silk can be divided into raw silk and cooked silk, which are somewhat similar to raw and cooked Xuan of rice paper. Raw silk is untreated and has strong water absorption; cooked silk is not easy to absorb water after treatment.

Before the Tang Dynasty, raw silk was mostly used for painting.The appearance of cooked silk in the early Tang Dynasty became a basis for the prevalence of meticulous painting in the Tang Dynasty.Raw silk is difficult to paint with fine brushwork because of its strong water absorption.

Silk can also be divided into single-filament and double-filament, which is very simple. The one with single warp and one weft is single-filament silk, and the one with double warp and single weft is double-filament silk.Experts can see clearly with a magnifying glass.

The silk paintings of the Tang Dynasty are all single-silk silk, and it was not until the Five Dynasties that paintings with double silk began to appear.

Therefore, if you hold a double-silk scroll and say it is a Tang painting, experts can deny it based on this alone.

But in reverse, it cannot be used in this way.

The appearance of double silk silk after the Five Dynasties does not mean that the silk books after the Five Dynasties will no longer use single silk silk.After the Five Dynasties, there was still the use of monofilament silk, and there were ups and downs.In the Song Dynasty, both single and double filaments were common; in the Ming Dynasty, there were mostly double filaments, but in the Qing Dynasty, single filaments were the main ones, and double filaments were rare.

Of course, Shen Shenyuan is not judged only by a single silk, but also combined with some other characteristics of paintings.

"Single silk silk is not the point. The point is the way the cooked silk is processed, which I don't think is from the Tang Dynasty."

Yu Yao went on to explain, "It's not easy to tell, especially after thousands of years, but it's not impossible. The cooked silk in the Tang Dynasty didn't know how to brush, and the Song Dynasty only had the combination of bleaching and brushing." Therefore, from the texture and color changes of silk, we can find out that it is not Tang silk but Song silk."

"No wonder you have been looking at it with a magnifying glass for so long!" Shen Shenyuan took a deep breath, "I don't know what to say! The last time you authenticated the old Su film imitating Dong Qichang, you used the 'metaphysical' method. But now he is meticulous about painting silk again!"

"Analyze specific issues in detail." Yu Yao thought to himself, this point is really hard work!

"Then, is this a Tang painting imitated by Song people?"

Yu Yao shook his head again, "The silk is Song silk, but the painting is not Song painting!"

"What? Could it be the same as the mounting material, an imitation of the early Qing Dynasty, using Song silk?"

"this······"

"It's okay to be honest, it's not like I spent the money for a painting of the Tang Dynasty, and my Mingjun flower pot is just a gift to an old friend, so what?"

"Don't talk about the early Qing Dynasty, I'm afraid even the Republic of China will not be able to reach it!"

"Modern imitation?! So clever?!" Shen Zhongyuan's face suddenly changed color.

"It's really brilliant."

Yu Yao paused, and then explained in detail, "Using the old silk paintings of the Song Dynasty to make them old, there are two big problems. First, if it is an old painting, the pigment will change with time, and it will gradually penetrate into the silk. The inner texture of the plain; the new painting does not, it needs special pigments to be penetrated; the second, of course, is the surface of the old, so that the picture and the silk can achieve a certain consistency."

"But this painting is obviously handled well!" Shen Zhongyuan sighed.

"Yes, it was handled very well. The half-seal of the Discipline Inspection Division is also flawless."

"originally?"

"If he wants to make a Song Dynasty imitation of the golden and green landscape of the Tang Dynasty, it may be perfect. But he may be very greedy, or there may be other reasons, and he wants to make a 'Tang Dynasty silk version'!"

Shen Zhongyuan frowned, "But you still recognized Song Juan!"

"This is not the key point. Although the texture of Tang Juan and the aging state of silk color have not been completely made, it is already extremely difficult to identify, otherwise I would not have to work so hard. The key point is that when he further processed Song Juan, he also affected the picture. The paint slightly reveals a little bit of characteristics that Tang and Song paints did not have. The reason why I said that even the Republic of China could not be reached is also because of the particularity of the paint.”

"Whip into the inside, whip into the inside!" Zhong Yuan clapped his hands unconsciously.

"I guess, this person didn't have Tang silk at hand at the time, but he insisted on imitating Tang paintings, which was a last resort. At the same time, he didn't do the original mounting, and used the post-mounted form to cover up the problem of the silk."

As Yu Yao spoke, he couldn't help pacing back and forth, talking to himself a little bit: "The details here are very particular. In order not to show any clues, he didn't make other collection seals, only the Jichasi half seal, Although it is expensive, the paintings collected by Ji Chasi in the early Ming Dynasty are difficult to examine; at the same time, the calligraphy and paintings of the Ming Dynasty’s inner government are most likely to flow out in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is more authentic to choose the old silk in the early Qing Dynasty. , there is no collection of inscriptions and seals, because the calligraphy and painting collections after the middle Qing Dynasty are relatively easier to verify."

"Brilliant methods and meticulous thoughts, you are simply a super master of fake calligraphy and painting!" Shen Zhongyuan sighed again and again, "Unfortunately, the devil is one foot tall, and the Tao is one foot high, and you still saw through it!"

Yu Yao narrowed his eyes slowly, "This painting is most likely made by the 90s. If this person is still alive, I really want to meet him!"

"I'm afraid I can't get what I wanted! After all, after so many years, my old friend also bought it from an antique shop. I'm afraid that shop can't be found now. Besides, the shop owner also bought it from an old farmer. "

"Where did you get it? Maybe it's the shopkeeper's words. It's not credible. The circulation of this painting is also strange, but after so many years, it is indeed impossible to trace it."

While Yu Yao was talking, he couldn't help but think of someone in his heart.

How to wash.

He has seen He Shangshan's level before, and this painting list is not far behind in terms of imitative painters.It's just that there are some problems in the old silk.Even this little problem was hard for him to detect, and it was very difficult for him to see the clues.

He didn't know what kind of person He Jidi was and where he was; moreover, judging from his age, it was quite possible that he was not alive.

But this painting involuntarily reminded him of it. Could it be related to He Yidi?

Of course, this is only an association produced by Yu Yao's own starting point and experience.

The world is so big, full of wonders; antique rivers and lakes, hidden dragons and crouching tigers.It is normal that this super expert has nothing to do with He Yidi.

At this time, Shen Zhongyuan looked at Yu Yao who was full of thoughts, "You are so interested, why don't I ask my old friend to see if I can recall any clues?"
