"Ma Bi, Ma Yuan, Ma Lin; Huizong, Ning Zong, Lizong!" Zhou Zhi understood now: "Three generations of painters, three generations of emperors!"

"The key is that they come from the same origin, and the painting style is extremely harmonious. If you don't pay attention, you would think it was done by one person." The fourth cousin scratched his head as he said, "I didn't pay much attention at first, but your aunt reminded me that the poems seemed a little bit...

Meaning, we just started looking up the information to find the mechanism contained in this painting."

"Let's call this picture "Siyuan Picture". It must be the first to have the word 'Siyuan' in thin gold." The fourth cousin said: "The economic value is the lowest, the artistic value is the second, and the cultural and historical value is the highest.

."

"This painting illustrates a major change in the history of Chinese painting, which is from the earliest ordinary paintings to inscriptions on paintings, and finally evolved into a 'set style' that combines poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seal cutting. This painting

It just reflects all three changes in this critical period of change."

"There is also the use of handed down and appreciation seals." Zhou Zhi nodded in agreement: "There are also some methods and principles used by ancient people to restore ancient paintings."

"There is also the change in painting methods and the inheritance relationship between the five generations of elites of the Ma School of Painting, which also marks the change in painting style from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty and its influence on later Chinese landscape paintings."

"'Without a word, you can achieve all the romance'. Sikong Tu's theory of poetry creation in "Twenty-Four Poems" also applies to Ma Yuan." Zhou Zhi looked at the large blank space on the river scene in the painting and exclaimed

Feeling emotional.

"Yes, Ma Yuan was called 'Ma Yijiao' in history because he made bold choices in composition. He often depicted a corner of a mountain or a part of a river, leaving a large blank space in the picture to highlight the landscape and express an ethereal effect.

The space is extremely poetic.”

"Predecessors commented on the characteristics of its 'corner scenery': there are not many in the whole territory, among which there are small or steep peaks that go straight up, but the top is not visible, or the cliff goes straight down, and the feet are not visible, or the nearby mountains are towering and the distant mountains are low, or

"The boat floats over the moon and one person sits alone', which makes people feel endless fun."

"Yes, poetry pays attention to cherishing ink like gold, and the same is true for traditional Chinese painting. It uses ink that cannot be saved to complete the task of shaping the artistic image, creating a sense of virtuality and reality, a sense of escape and strangeness, and summarizing the artistic conception that the individual and the painter want to express.

and deliver it to viewers and readers.”

"So this is actually an aesthetic issue, a matter of using the creative language of virtuality and reality, simplicity and richness, blankness and mental supplementation." The fourth cousin said: "So the meaning of this painting also reflects the ancient aesthetics of our country.

The development of family thought also provides a very convincing example."

"So this painting can be called the 'double three masterpieces'. The painter has three unique skills, and the appreciator has three unique skills." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, cousin, thank you for your hard work, aunt."

"What's the hard work? Isn't this enjoyment?" The fourth aunt said with a smile: "Elbows are lucky stars. What good things did you find when you went to the capital this time?"

Zhou Zhi took out the things one by one and said, "There are a few pieces of writing that I need to ask the elder to frame."

"You don't even dare to do it yourself?" The fourth cousin unfolded the book Zhou Zhi handed him with some confusion: "It turns out it's these two, no wonder you are so cautious."

Zhou Zhiyou placed the purple Ding plum vase, the gold Ding kiln large bowl, the Kangxi blue and white pen holder, and the Yongzheng imitation Jun kiln tripod on the desk one by one, and said with a smile: "These are the ones for this time.

Please let your fourth uncle and aunt appreciate the more important things you got."

"Oh?" The fourth aunt picked up the Yongzheng imitation Jun kiln tripod first: "This object is rare... Hey, there is also fire paint and seals underneath."

"There are three pieces of fire paint, one from Hong Kong Island and one from the Commonwealth. The seal is the mark of this Haitong auction."

The fourth aunt nodded: "It is similar to the ancient appreciation medal. This is the modern inheritance mark."

"It's commonly known as the monkey's butt." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

The fourth aunt couldn't help but smile: "I've only heard of it, but I've never seen it. Those who went abroad back then were really good things."

The fourth cousin looked at the three-legged tripod and said: "It is indeed rare to say that this Yongzheng imitation Jun kiln can be kiln into rose glaze, but it is not unheard of."

After speaking, he was in charge of the plum vase: "This thing is truly unique."

"Really?" My aunt really didn't pay attention to the plum vase at first, thinking it was a vulgar imitation. Only after being reminded by my fourth cousin, did she become more serious about it.

After verifying the bottle mouth, inner wall and bottom tire, the confusion became even greater: "Is this... could it be..."

"It's an authentic product. Mr. Wang and Mr. Qi have both seen it carefully." Zhou Zhi nodded: "This is a great hidden-flowered purple ding from the Song Dynasty, and it is the only one left in the world."

"If such a thing is a heritage device, it must have caused a sensation and attention hundreds of years ago, and it suddenly appeared today..." The fourth cousin's expression was not too happy: "Oh, I don't know which big one it is.

The tomb suffered another disaster."

"It's also possible that it was dug up and stored in the cellar during the Republic of China." Zhou Zhi quickly comforted his fourth cousin: "After all, it is something that can be sold in the ghost market."

The fourth cousin shook his head and expressed disbelief.

My aunt quickly interrupted: "This big Ding kiln bowl is also pretty good. The metal work on it should be from the Ming Dynasty, right? This should be a heritage artifact."

"Yes." Zhou Zhi said: "This is recorded in the archives of the Qing Palace. The archives are from the Ming Dynasty archives. The thing is called 'Ming Yongle Document Fengxian Hall Jinkou Ding Kiln Large Bowl' in the archives."

"This is something that has been passed down in an orderly manner," said the fourth aunt.

"Yes, the fire paint on the back can also explain the problem," Zhou Zhi said: "Only the fire paint from the Commonwealth and Hong Kong Island, like the Yongzheng imitation Jun kiln, were stolen by the foreign powers."

"Go and get my incense burner," said the fourth aunt.

"Oh." The incense burner used by my fourth aunt is a fish basket and seal incense burner from Ge Kiln in the Song Dynasty. Zhou Zhi discovered it two years ago and collected it as a gift to her fourth aunt.

The fourth aunt put the fish basket stove and the imitation Jun kiln tripod together, looked at them for a while, and pushed the two items together: "I have been playing with this stove for a long time, you can put it away."

"This is not necessary." Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hand: "We agreed that the fish basket stove will be a filial piety to you."

"Haven't I already played with it? Your filial piety has already been accepted." The fourth aunt smiled and said: "As far as I know, you now have Ru kiln ink clay boxes, Guan kiln string pattern long-neck bottles, Ding kiln

A white-glazed jade pot and spring vase with black flowers and two bright floral patterns, plus the current large white-glazed Ding kiln bowl with gold decoration, and the unique purple-glazed Ding kiln plum vase."

"If you include this Ge Kiln fish basket furnace, among the five famous porcelain kilns of the Song Dynasty, you only need Jun Kiln porcelain, right?"

Zhou Zhi nodded.

"If you include the wine vessels from the Hutian Kiln and the lotus leaf-covered jars from the Longquan Kiln, even the eight famous kilns are only short of the Jian Kiln and the Jun Kiln." The fourth aunt smiled and said: "So you still have to keep this fish basket stove.

It’s better, once I receive the Jun kiln wares and Jian kiln wares from the Song Dynasty, it will basically be complete.”
