Chapter 160 The old man's decision
Hearing that what Chen Ze wanted to give him was calligraphy and painting.
If it was anything else, the old man might not be interested.
But when it comes to calligraphy and painting, of course, the interest is greatly increased, and even the eyes are bright~.
"Wait, let me - take a look at your calligraphy and painting first."
Although the old man is not a calligraphy expert, he also likes to practice calligraphy, and calligraphy practice is also something that the old man must do every day.
Even insisted on it for decades, unless it is absolutely necessary, the old man really will not let go of the opportunity to practice calligraphy for a day.
This kind of perseverance is really not something ordinary people can do.
To put it bluntly, the old man likes this. Apart from practicing calligraphy, he has no other extra hobbies. He doesn't catch a cold when drinking or smoking.
The only thing I have a soft spot for is calligraphy.
This is why Chen Ze left three calligraphy and paintings, the purpose is to give one to the old man when he comes.
Among calligraphy and painting, the old man prefers copybooks.
Therefore, almost no need to think about it, the old man will definitely choose Qi Baishi's Baishi poetry and cursive copybook.
At this moment, the old man came to Qi Baishi's copybook first, because he likes calligraphy, and among the three calligraphy and paintings, he couldn't help but look at the copybook first.
At first, the old man just felt that these three calligraphy and paintings were somewhat different.
What is different specifically, he really can't find it unless he looks closely.
Now standing in front of the copybook, the more the old man looked at it, the wider his eyes widened.
Even, in the end, some unbelievable expressions were revealed.
"*717......."
"This......... Your copybook is actually the third volume of Qi Baishi's Baishi Poetry and Grass?"
At this moment, Setsuko was stunned.
Even deep in my heart, a strong impulse was born.
As a calligraphy lover, it is definitely a lifelong wish to obtain the calligraphy of those famous masters.
However, the old man is just an ordinary worker. He has been a worker all his life until he retires. His strength does not allow him to pursue the calligraphy of those celebrities, because he has no money.
It is already very hard to support the children, and there is no extra money to pursue what I like.
Fortunately, practicing calligraphy at home doesn't cost too much money, and it is enough to save money at ordinary times.
Even now, the family conditions are better, the children don't need him anymore, and his pension is enough.
However, it is still a luxury to get a calligraphy copybook of a celebrity.
Of course, he doesn't like ordinary calligraphy, he can write it himself, and even, during the Chinese New Year, he even writes couplets for free for the neighbors nearby, and he can be regarded as a well-known calligrapher.
Therefore, his only wish is to collect a few pieces of calligraphy by celebrities, but just thinking about it, the calligraphy copybooks of celebrities can cost hundreds of thousands, millions, and even those famous contemporary masters, the copybooks can sell for tens of millions .
What's more, in the age, everyone from a long time ago, their works are even more valuable, he can only look at them, and don't need to think about collecting them.
The only thing I can do is to find everyone's works on the Internet and copy them.
However, right now, the calligraphy copybook of Qi Baishi he saw was extraordinary at a glance.
Especially the style of his calligraphy is exactly the same as the calligraphy of Mr. Qi Baishi who he has studied.
This is definitely Mr. Qi Baishi's style.
As for whether it is authentic or not, he is not sure yet.
"Grandpa, you still have eyesight, you can see it at a glance."
"This is indeed Mr. Qi Baishi's Baishi Poetry Grass."
Grandpa can easily recognize Qi Baishi's handwriting, which is naturally normal, and the old man likes to study these.
Moreover, the descendants of the Chen family knew traditional characters, and they were all taught by the old man, and they all learned from the old man, who was their mentor.
"Let me take a closer look."
The old man's whole spirit is different, it is obvious that he has seen what he is most interested in.
Staring at Shiraishi Shicao for a while.
"Grand grandson, this copybook doesn't look like a copybook."
"And Qi Baishi's seal......"
The more he looked, the more the old man felt something was wrong.
At first, he thought it was a facsimile, but now that he took a closer look, it didn't look like a facsimile at all, but more like Qi Baishi's authentic work.
However, Qi Baishi's authentic works are almost out of print now, and it is impossible to easily appear in front of the world.
Although Qi Baishi is famous for his paintings, Qi Baishi's calligraphy is also first-rate.
Any works of Qi Baishi that exist today must be collected by others, and they are reluctant to sell them.
How could my eldest grandson have Qi Baishi's works?
"Grandpa, I dug this up in an old house, generally speaking, it's not fake.
"But whether it's true or not, I'm not sure. It needs to be identified to know."
Having said that, Chen Ze feels that these three paintings should be authentic works, or well-preserved authentic works.
"You dug it out?"
"Good guy, I thought you bought it back. Since it was dug out, it might be real."
"However, I don't know how to identify your grandfather. I can only tell that this handwriting is indeed the handwriting of old Mr. Qi Baishi."
The old man was a little excited. He had a hunch that this Qi Baishi's copybook was definitely Qi Baishi's authentic work.
So researched for a long time.
"Grandpa, look at those two paintings too."
*ttt...
Chen Ze pointed to the other two paintings. The old man was too obsessed with calligraphy. When he saw calligraphy, especially the calligraphy of a famous master like Qi Baishi, he couldn't move.
"good!"
The old man looked back at Qi Baishi's calligraphy for a few more times before turning his attention to the other two paintings.
"Li Gonglin's Mountain Dwelling Picture?"
"No way, grandson, you actually have this painting?"
He didn't know if he didn't look at it. He was startled when he saw it carefully. After he looked at it carefully, he realized that the painting in front of him was actually the painting of Li Gonglin, a great master of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Although he is more interested in calligraphy, calligraphy and painting are integrated, so naturally he has to study them.
He has also studied the picture of living in mountains, but it is just a picture found on the Internet, and it is still an old picture that has been circulating for a long time.
After comparison, I found that this painting is really Li Gonglin's picture of living in mountains.
"All three paintings were found together.
..........0
"But now I'm not sure if it's the original or a copy."
Chen Ze said so.
He is definitely not as good as the old man in studying calligraphy and painting.
But old man, there is no way to verify the authenticity.
"If it's authentic, then these three paintings are priceless."
"Let me take a look at this..."
"Hiss...Tang Bohu's riding a donkey to return to Situ?"
"You... grandson, these three paintings of yours are not simple.............
The more the old man watched, the more frightened he became.
He recognized it all, it was a work he had studied, and it looked exactly the same as the pictures on the Internet.
Can't see any difference.
"Have you identified it?"
The old man's heart moved, this kind of thing needs to be authenticated, otherwise, it is really not sure whether it is a copy.
Fake copies are definitely worthless.
If it's authentic, it's different.
"No, I just got it a few days ago."
Chen Ze shook his head.
"Grand grandson, this kind of thing must be appraised."
"In this way, we will take it for appraisal to see if it is true or false. If it is a copy, it is worthless and not worth collecting. If it is an authentic work, it is the treasure of the town house.
The old man looked forward to it. Although he felt it was true, whether it was true or not needed to be verified, so Chen Ze was asked to verify the authenticity of the three paintings.
"I don't know any experts."
Chen Ze is not a member of the calligraphy and painting circle, if there is one, he has already found someone to identify it.
"I can try this. I am also a member of the Calligraphy Association over there. I will ask someone to see if I can contact an expert in the calligraphy and painting field in Jiangcheng to help identify it."
