Inherit For Three Thousand Years

The identification of the snake head was also very fast. A few minutes later, Zhang Donggao put the snake head back in place, and said excitedly: "This snake head is also genuine! With these two more beast heads, perhaps 12 bronze beast heads will return. There will be a gathering day."

"It should be. As long as the other animal heads have news, with our country's influence, they will be able to gather these 12 zodiac signs sooner or later." Xiao Yao said affirmatively.

Finally, when Zhang Donggao's appraisal was completed, Xiao Zhenshan couldn't wait to get started doing the appraisal, and at the same time asked some professional questions, Zhang Donggao answered patiently one by one.

Around the topic of the bronze beast head, everyone discussed enthusiastically.

It wasn't until Xiao Zhenshan's enthusiasm subsided that Zhang Donggao began to look closely at the other collections in the treasure room.

After taking a few casual glances, Zhang Donggao became more and more shocked when he looked at it. He didn't expect that there were all treasures in Xiao Yao's treasure room!

Almost every piece in the treasure room can be called a national treasure, which is really amazing!

You must know that all the collections in this treasure room must add up to at least 50 pieces. What is the concept of 50 national treasures?

Even an ordinary provincial museum may not be able to bring out 50 national treasures. Even if they can be found, the quality is certainly far behind.

The 50 national treasures in the treasure room are not national treasures in the ordinary sense, but real heavyweight national treasures, each of which is extremely precious.

The first thing he saw was a picture of "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove" hanging directly in front of him.

"The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" is a relatively common painting subject, and there are many masterpieces of famous artists in history.

But this painting is obviously not painted by those famous artists in his impression, whether it is the style, color or material, it is extremely long-lasting at first glance.

The scale of this painting is very large, with a height of about one and a half meters and a width of about 90 cm.

Under the mending bamboo, Ji Kang was stroking the qin, slightly raising his head and eyebrows, with an expression of "waving the five strings with his hand, watching Guihong", giving people a feeling of being aloof.

Ruan Ji turned sideways and uttered a long howl, which was obviously utterly forgetful. Shan Tao holds a wine bowl in his hand, a typical scribe who is addicted to alcohol. Wang Rong dances as he pleases with his hands, accompanied by a cash box and bare legs, in a laid-back posture and enjoys himself. Xiang Xiu closed his eyes and leaned against the tree, while Liu Ling was pouring wine in her ear cup, drunk and hazy. Ruan Xiantong's rhythm, good at playing the pipa, pulling his sleeves and pulling Ruan, is completely immersed in the music.

A very typical painting style of the Wei and Jin Dynasty, with a few simple outlines, the characters are vivid.

It's not like a copy from the Tang and Song dynasties, but Zhang Donggao can't believe that this will turn out to be an authentic work handed down during the Wei and Jin dynasties.

After looking at the title, he couldn't believe his eyes—they turned out to be the real work of Lu Tanwei!

If this painting is indeed an authentic work of Lu Tanwei, its value and significance are simply incalculable!

Lu Tanwei was a painter during the Liu Song period in the Southern Dynasties. In the history of Chinese painting, he was the founder of the formal use of calligraphy in painting.

He applied the cursive style of Zhang Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty to painting, and he became a school of his own. Tang Zhang Yanyuan contains more than 70 pieces of his paintings in "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties", with a wide range of subjects, from drawings of saints and sages, figures of Buddha to birds and beasts, all exquisite.

Both Lu Tanwei and Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were called "Gu Lu", and Xie He was highly praised in his "Records of Ancient Paintings".

There is very little information about Lu Tanwei’s life activities in the historical records. The famous paintings of past dynasties contain: "Lu Tanwei, top grade, Wu Renye. During the Emperor Ming Dynasty, he often served as an attendant. "This is the only record of Lu Tanwei's positive writing about his life.

These also only show that Lu Tanwei is a painter, neither has an official title, nor is it a celebrity who was born in a family. According to the writing practice of Chinese History Biography, as long as Lu Tanwei has an official and a half position, there will be no omissions in the record.

Gu Kaizhi, another great painter of the same fame as Lu Tanwei, has many records in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Gu Kaizhi is a painter who combines talents, celebrities, and official titles. He is knowledgeable and talented, excellent in painting skills, and good at talking about metaphysics, so he has a lot of allusions. Collection of deeds or poems.

Although Gu Kaizhi did nothing in military and political affairs in poetry, writing and painting, in a sense, he was a successful politician. He had a lot of contacts with the dignitaries of the time, Huan Wen, Yin Zhongkan, and Huan Xuan. The political affairs of the palace were ups and downs, and the dignitaries who served were alternately perished. However, Gu’s position in the officialdom remained unmoving, even after Huan Xuan was killed. Was promoted to Sanqi standing attendant. Based on the description of Gu Kaizhi's experiences, it can be inferred from the negative side that Lu Tanwei's basic state of existence in that era and society.

The biggest difference between Lu Tanwei and Gu Kaizhi is that Gu Kaizhi is always at the center of society and culture, while Lu Tanwei is on the edge. Whether it is officialdom or the cultural circle dominated by scholars, they do not agree with Lu Tanwei. Maybe they simply Did not pay attention to him.

Lu Tanwei is just a highly skilled painter with a low status, and he is not to be equal to them.

But after all, a true artist expresses value and meaning in his art itself. Lu Tanwei's reputation in later painting history is proof.

Lu Tanwei's original work has survived to this day, which is too significant for the painting and calligraphy circles and appraisal circles.

After initially identifying that this was Lu Tanwei's authentic work, Zhang Donggao's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He immediately took out a full set of appraisal tools and began the most detailed appraisal.

I have been appraising it for about half an hour, and multiple appraisal angles have proved that this is indeed the authentic relic of the Southern Dynasties' land exploration!

Zhang Donggao turned to look at Xiao Yao, and said with excitement: "This turned out to be the original work of Lu Tanwei! It is really unimaginable, how can you have such a valuable and well-preserved ancient painting? "

"I can proudly say that the antiques in my collection are more meticulous and professional in the preservation of antiques than yours in the Palace Museum, and there will never be any inadequate storage." Xiao Yao could not tell the truth, and could only give it to Give such a reply.

The more contact with Xiao Yao, the more mysterious Zhang Donggao felt.

He has seen many extremely precious antique works of art from Xiao Yao. These precious antique works of art are all available and unattainable. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them. Only those big families with deep heritage and long heritage can have so many precious collections. He knows many collectors, but none of them have such a heritage.
