Teacher Tang gently untied the ribbon that tied the scroll, then raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, and said with an expectant smile:
"Please, Ye Tian, help me appreciate this painting. I hope it is indeed the work of Bada Shanren, so as to clear up the doubts in our family's mind"
"Okay, Teacher Tang, let me enjoy it and see if this is Bada's work"
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded in response, then stepped forward to the table and began to unfold the scroll.
Following his movements, a piece of Chinese ink painting gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
This is a vertical scroll Chinese painting, ink on paper, about 120 cm in length and 45 cm in width. The picture is a little yellowed and has some faint traces of water stains, but the overall preservation condition is pretty good and there is no damage. at.
The main part of the picture is a budding lotus, standing proudly in the pond and trying to grow upward.
A small fish swimming freely can be vaguely seen among the water plants at the roots of the lotus. Above the bud of the lotus, there is a dancing dragonfly, which seems to be preparing to land on the bud.
On the upper right side of the painting, there is a small poem:
‘The lotus flowers on the east bank are taller than the head, and the lotus leaves on the west bank are as tall as a light boat. My heart is like a leaf, a flower is like a leaf, the strange Milky Way refuses to flow', the calligraphy is full of dragons and phoenixes, and is extremely skillful.
The entire painting has a concise layout and concise brushwork. The depictions of lotuses and ponds are kept concise, with only three or two strokes, while the depictions of dragonflies and swimming fish are tried to be vivid and expressive.
In addition to these, there are several postscripts at the bottom and top of the painting.
At the end of these postscripts and in the blank spaces of the paintings, there are more than a dozen seals of various sizes and fonts, including the seals of famous literati in history.
After unfolding the painting, Ye Tian began to admire it intently.
In fact, he already knew the authenticity of this freehand Chinese painting from the moment he entered Studio No. 1 and sat down at the round table.
Even if this painting is placed in a brocade box, the dazzling light it emits and its twenty layers of charming halo are like bright lights in the dark night, which are extremely eye-catching in his eyes!
It’s just that he and Teacher Tang didn’t know each other at that time, so he couldn’t take the initiative to step forward and ask to appreciate the painting. That would be too abrupt!
The subsequent appraisal was just a show to deceive others, but the intoxicated look on Ye Tian's face was a true expression of his true feelings.
After quietly admiring it for a moment, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at Teacher Tang and Teacher Tang’s family, and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, Teacher Tang. Your grandfather is very lucky. He has collected a priceless top-notch work of art. I am 100% sure that this is definitely an authentic work of Bada Shanren and is worth collecting!"
Before he finished speaking, a look of ecstasy appeared on Teacher Tang's face, and he almost cheered with excitement.
His family members were all the same. They were all excited, and their eyes shone with excitement.
Mr. Tang, in particular, immediately let out a sigh of relief, with tears even flashing in his eyes, and his hands holding the round table were trembling slightly.
This is a family heirloom left by his father. It has been passed down to this day, and it is burdened with many doubts. There may be many stories of joys and sorrows hidden behind it!
At this moment, there was finally a conclusion regarding the authenticity of this top-notch work of art. Could he not be excited about it?
Except for Teacher Tang’s family, everyone else around them was envious.
This is a painting by Bada Shanren. It is absolutely priceless. It would be great if it could be your own!
As for the identification conclusion given by Ye Tian, no one at the scene questioned it.
Everyone knew very well that he could never make a mistake. Such a thing had never happened before, and today was no exception.
When it comes to identifying antiques and artworks, the most advanced scientific testing instruments in the world today are probably not as sharp or as accurate as Ye Tian's eyes.
There is no doubt that this is an outstanding work by Bada Shanren, a priceless top-notch work of art.
"Ye Tian, thank you so much. The identification conclusion you gave has solved one of our family's biggest worries. We no longer have to be suspicious in the future."
Teacher Tang said gratefully, rubbing his hands together in excitement, not knowing where to put them.
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly said loudly:
"Ye Tian, most of the people here are laymen and don't know how to appreciate this kind of top-notch antique art. Please explain to everyone this painting of Bada Shanren"
"That's right, Ye Tian, while I still have some time, let me tell you about this painting. One more thing, how much is this Bada Shanren painting worth? Can you tell me about it?"
Ye Tian did not respond immediately to these requests.
After all, this painting does not belong to him. Whether to explain it publicly or not, requires Teacher Tang’s consent. Especially to publish the valuation, Teacher Tang’s approval is needed, just in case someone doesn’t want to disclose the valuation!
Ye Tian glanced at everyone present, then looked at Teacher Tang, waiting for the other party to make a decision.
Teacher Tang pondered for a while, and then looked at Mr. Tang. When he saw Mr. Tang gently nodding in agreement, he nodded with a smile and said:
"This is the Chinese New Year. Since everyone wants to know more about this painting of Bada Shanren, we don't want to spoil everyone's interest. Ye Tian, could you please explain this painting to everyone, and you can also announce the valuation. ! ”
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately nodded, then smiled and said loudly:
"Okay, since Teacher Tang has given permission and everyone is very interested, and wants to know more about this painting of Bada Shanren, it is better to obey your orders and I will give you a brief explanation, but this is just a family opinion."
"Pa bang bang"
The scene suddenly burst into applause, short but warm.
Without exception, almost everyone at the scene looked here. Everyone was looking forward to Ye Tian's performance, so that few people paid attention to the lively and festive Spring Festival Gala stage.
Seeing this situation, many CCTV staff at the scene couldn't help but rolled their eyes angrily, but there was nothing they could do.
The director team and other related people who were watching the scene in Studio No. 1 through the monitoring screen looked dumbfounded and helpless!
Has anyone ever seen this happen? Ye Tian is really a scourge, no matter where he goes, he won't stop!
When the applause subsided, Ye Tian's clear voice immediately came out again, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Before introducing this painting of Bada Shanren, I will first tell you about the relevant knowledge of ancient painting forgery. I hope it will be helpful to everyone and explain why this painting has different identification conclusions.
Unlike Western paintings, the identification of ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy cannot simply rely on modern high-tech detection methods, such as carbon 14 detection, to determine the age of relevant ancient paintings and calligraphy.
The reason is very simple. Our country has preserved a lot of blank rice paper and ancient ink from ancient times. They are available in all dynasties and at all levels. Masters of forging ancient calligraphy and painting works use this kind of rice paper and ancient ink.
If they want to forge the works of any dynasty or famous painter, they will use corresponding rice paper and ancient ink to forge them. The so-called modern detection technology will not only fail to detect it, but will mislead people.
To identify the authenticity of ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting works of art, the most important thing is to rely on rich knowledge reserves, experience and eyesight. This requires long-term accumulation and a lot of practice to gradually improve the appreciation."
After hearing this, many people at the scene immediately started complaining secretly.
"Long-term accumulation and a lot of practice! It sounds like that, but it doesn't seem to be the case with you. According to rumors, you seem to be born with knowledge, omnipotence and mastery of everything!"
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Let’s talk about Bada Shanren’s "Lotus Fish Swimming". In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Bada Shanren was revered as a master of traditional Chinese painting. His works were enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors and literati, and were hard to find!
This trend has not diminished since the Republic of China and modern times. Precisely because of the enthusiasm for collecting, many fakes have appeared. In addition, Bada Shanren’s paintings are basically simple and relatively difficult to forge.
Of course, those forged fakes can only be similar in appearance and cannot depict the soul of Bada Shanren's works at all. However, this requires professional identification knowledge and vision, and ordinary collectors can easily be deceived.
Since the Qing Dynasty until now, Tianjin has been the largest forgery of ancient paintings and calligraphy in China. Bada Shanren is one of the famous ancient painters who likes to forge the most. The process is simple but the rewards are amazing!
Most of the forgeries of Bada Shanren currently circulating in the antique art market come from Tianjin. Some of the paintings are of a very high quality. It is difficult for ordinary collectors to tell the authenticity from the fake, and many appraisal experts are very discerning.
This has led to a situation where some appraisal experts will be extremely cautious when they see Bada Shanren's paintings. If they cannot identify the authenticity of the paintings and cannot find relevant information, they may classify them as fakes.
Teacher Tang and his family asked someone to appraise the painting in the early 1980s. The appraisal expert identified the painting as a forgery from Tianjin. This was the case. Fortunately, Mr. Tang and his family were very cautious and kept the painting until now. ! ”
"Hoo!"
Teacher Tang and his family members all breathed a sigh of relief and were secretly grateful.
