This is a legendary story that lasted for thousands of years, and finally gave it a happy ending, called Zhong Yinlan. At the beginning of liberation, a 20-year-old junior high school student was hired by Shanghai Bo, and she had simple happiness. Numerous cultural relics have been registered by her hand, and she was deeply impressed by the "unsuccessful" paintings and Xie's lonely expression. Numerous exquisite antiquities have touched Zhong Yinlan's hand, one of which she remembers very clearly, because it implicated the fate of Xie, a famous painter and expert in cultural relics appraisal and purchase at the Shanghai World Expo. It was a routine expert appraisal meeting of 1957 cultural relics acquisition. Zhong Yinlan of the Cataloging Group often attends such meetings. That day, Xie brought a scroll, and Zhong Yinlan, a conference worker, helped open it. Everyone leaned over and studied carefully: "Oh, is it a Song painting? Wang Shen's "Smoke River Stack"? " If it is true, it will be a rare treasure! Xie Lao explained: Jin Bosheng, a cultural relic agent, rushed to his home from Suzhou a few days ago and brought such a painting. Xie Lao was surprised when he saw it. He quickly said to Kimberly: You leave your things and we'll get them! Almost all the experts at the meeting shook their heads. Some said: This picture looks familiar. I saw it in the 1930s, and it has been recognized as a fake painting in the industry! Zhong Yinlan silently rolled up this painting and gave it to Xie Lao. Xie Lao's eyes reveal a trace of loneliness. He just said, "I still have to study!" " Xie Lao came home and read the painting from beginning to end for a long time: what if it is true? Isn't this casting pearls before swine? He called Jin Bosheng and said, "Tell the master that I bought this painting!" " Jin Bosheng's eyes widened: "A fake painting, your museum sentenced to death, no one wants it, it's worthless!" Maybe the main family will destroy itself! Can you believe it? Xie said, "Even if I want to do information. "After two months, Kimberly came in with a sad face:" The family was angry when they heard that Shang Bo decided that it was false. Last time I offered 800, this time I said I wouldn't sell it unless it was 2000! Don't you feel angry? "2,000 yuan was not a small sum at that time, so you can buy a house. Looking at that unfathomable painting, Mr. Xie is hard to give up. After some bargaining, the painting was finally sold at 1600 yuan. Xie Lao sold a batch of Ming and Qing calligraphy and painting, and paid in three installments, which forgot this wish. From then on, he met this painting day and night, and compared it with Wang Shen's other works from the perspective of "pen and ink temperament", firmly believing that this painting is true: "Who got confused after the Southern Song Dynasty? "
Obeying the organizational arrangement, Zhong Yinlan had no other choice. Learn from the famous painter Shen Jianzhi. From the beginning of drawing "ten" and circle, one person draws for one month. When she painted trees and stones, Shen Lao brought a copy of Fuchun by Huang in Yuan Dynasty for her to copy.
1964, when Zhong Yinlan first got a glimpse of China traditional painting and calligraphy appraisal museum, a "Small Four Cleans" movement spread to Mr. Xie, which was caused by "The Picture of Clouds and Waters", but the charge was very bizarre: competing with the state for cultural relics! At that time, when you said you were black, you were black. Thank you. After some criticism, the painting was confiscated and handed in. Xie Lao didn't know that the more bitter is yet to come. During the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution, Zhong Yinlan, a typical "white expert", kept the noise of the times out of the window and buried himself in the bumpy information on home ownership; "Yanhe stack room" has been placed in the warehouse alone. After the "Cultural Revolution", Xie Yiran donated this painting, Yun Shui Ballad, to.
It is completely consistent with Wang Shen's other paintings in terms of technical characteristics, subject matter, brush strokes of rocks and trees, etc., and it has the sense of deja vu but unskilled brushwork of Wang Shen. It is an ink play by literati and should be an original; In the past, people thought it was a fake, because there were few works handed down by Wang Shen and his painting style was not familiar to the world. Wang Su's songs and poems behind this painting are also authentic. Among them, many words in Wang Shen's works are written in the same way as his other books, such as Fiona Fang's simultaneous use, positive and negative use, and the use of sideline pen to create momentum. In addition, experienced painters believe that the silk of this painting and calligraphy is natural and true, and it is by no means dyed.
This song painting was preserved by Zhong Yinlan. It was grandly displayed in the calligraphy hall and painting hall of the new Shanghai World Expo, becoming the "treasure of the town hall" and naturally being rated as a first-class product.
Who knows that this buried an ambiguous case. Zhong Yinlan's "distressed" teacher began to learn calligraphy and painting appraisal from famous artists and became obsessed with life. Xie was unlucky in the "small four clean-ups", and his collection of "fake paintings" was confiscated and handed in. Zhong Yinlan did not expect that she would become attached to this recognized "fake painting" in the future. Zhong Yinlan of 1959 is worried about one thing: in view of the lack of successors of old experts, the museum should focus on cultivating a group of young appraisers and let her learn calligraphy and painting appraisal. Zhong Yinlan was shocked: the identification of cultural relics is the most difficult one. I have a poor foundation in ancient Chinese. To identify calligraphy and painting, I have to be familiar with the ancient sentences, poems and seals of China. There are many painters and calligraphers in history. Just remembering their names, characters and numbers is a great effort. ...
