Chapter 14 Fakes
Mr. Tang's eyes flashed with appreciation. Of course, he knew that this painting was a fake, a fake with a high level of imitation. Players who are just starting to enter the industry often get a flaw, but now they are taking it out to test Chen Dong and taking Chen Dong's appreciation level.
"Continue talking."
Hearing this, Chen Dong continued, "This painting is a fake. First of all, the insects are painted too rigidly. Qi Baishi paints insects very well and has a sense of agility. For example, the whiskers of this cucumber have a very ethereal feeling, with a rhythmic thickness, while the cucumbers in this painting have not changed.
There is also this seal. Qi Baishi never used this kind of seal. Qi Baishi used seal oil. He made it himself in the early days, and later it was specially provided by Rong Baozhai. From the perspective of painting and ink, this painting is a fake."
After listening to Chen Dong's appreciation, Mr. Tang smiled and praised, "It's very good, the foundation of identification knowledge is very solid. If you want, you have time to come to me as a guest. We will exchange antique knowledge with each other."
It is obviously an excuse to exchange knowledge about antiques with each other. One is a Beidou-level figure who has long been a antique world, and the other is a rookie who has just entered the antique circle. If there is any good exchange, Chen Dong has no help to Mr. Tang at all. On the contrary, with Mr. Tang's guidance, Chen Dong has avoided many detours on the road of antiques and went further.
"Yes." Chen Dong said happily.
As a newcomer who has just entered the antique circle, Chen Dong knows that the antique circle is too deep. He pays attention to the inheritance and word of mouth. It is too important to have a good master to give advice. He can avoid many detours and go further in the antique circle. You should know that the experience taught by the master is the experience summarized by the lessons taught by predecessors by countless times of paying tuition fees, and he cannot learn from books.
Old Tang stood up from the rocking chair, bent down and walked into the house and pulled out a thread-bound book from a bookshelves, handed it to Chen Dong and said, "This book is specifically about introducing the basic knowledge of antique calligraphy and painting. You can take it back later and have time to read it."
Chen Dong took the book from Mr. Tang, nodded and said, "I can."
As soon as he finished speaking, the watch on his wrist shook slightly, and then a dialog box that only Chen Dong could see popped up in front of Chen Dong's eyes.
System prompts: Accept the task, Mr. Tang’s test: You have gained Mr. Tang’s appreciation, Mr. Tang is willing to give you the experience and knowledge of calligraphy and painting appreciation, and then he gave you a book on the appreciation of antique calligraphy and painting, and suggested that you will be given questions to test you when you are a guest next time.
Mission requirements: Pass the test of Mr. Tang when he is visiting Mr. Tang's hometown next time.
Mission reward: 2 points, 30 experience points.
Chen Dong looked at the book in his hand. The cover was a little yellow and the corners were slightly curled. You could tell at a glance that it was a while. When you look at the pages, there were contents that Mr. Tang used a red pen to comment on the key contents.
The optical brain system is a bit more generous. A side mission rewards 2 points and 30 points of experience can be said to be very generous.
Next, Mr. Tang specially introduced Chen Dong to the antique circle, which was something that Chen Dong could not have access to before.
One spoke vividly, the other was fascinated by the hearing, time passed quickly, and two hours passed unknowingly. Seeing that Mr. Tang was a little tired, Chen Dong tactfully found a reason to end the conversation, said goodbye to Mr. Tang, and left the Tang family compound alone.
It was almost noon, so I found a restaurant for lunch, then took a taxi, returned to the villa, lay on the rocking chair in the yard, poured a cup of tea, and opened the book that Mr. Tang gave him.
The book is called "Basics of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal". Introductory textbooks for beginners in calligraphy and painting appraisal can be found in bookstores or online.
Many places on the pages are annotated by Mr. Tang’s red lines, recording Mr. Tang’s appreciation of calligraphy and painting. These experiences are very important for beginners in calligraphy and painting.
As soon as I opened the pages, I glanced a few roughly. It is worthy of being the authority in the identification of calligraphy and paintings in China. Using the book "Basics of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal", I wrote my appreciation experience in calligraphy and painting. These experiences cannot be learned in ordinary books. Combined with the basic knowledge of calligraphy and painting appraisal, Chen Dong felt a sudden enlightenment.
.
For example, when talking about Qi Baishi's calligraphy and paintings, Mr. Tang added annotations here, using his experience to explain from various aspects how to identify the authenticity of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and paintings, such as Qi Baishi's painting style, ink paste, paper and other aspects of different eras.
Two days passed without realizing it. In addition to logging into Qidian.com's backend as usual every day, uploading five chapters and replying to readers' comments, Chen Dong spent the rest of his time reading books. After two days of selfless learning and combined with the experience accumulated by visiting Yunzhou Antique Street, Chen Dong has made great progress in appreciating calligraphy and paintings.
Chen Dong put down the book, smiled slightly, looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Xiao Lan, turn on the light brain, open the skill bar."
"Okay, master."
As soon as the words finished, the watch on your wrist turned into a Lenovo notebook, and the skill system column popped up, and a small icon appeared under the skill list.
Antique appreciation: calligraphy and painting, elementary level. There is also a green progress bar behind it, 11.2/100. This is a small icon that Chen Dong accidentally clicked on the skill and suddenly appeared at some point. I remember that when I first got the light brain, there was no such icon.
Chen Dong also found that as he continued to read books and learn about appreciation of antique calligraphy and paintings, the progress bar was also constantly jumping, from 8.5/100 at the beginning to 11.2/100 at the present.
Chen Dong guessed that the skills should be displayed in the skill bar, and first, it should be activated. After activating them in the skill list bar, through continuous learning, the experience in the progress bar continues to increase until the experience is full and the skills are improved.
There is also a prismatic button under the antique appreciation calligraphy and painting skills.
Chen Dong smiled slightly and clicked the prism button.
A dialog box pops up on the screen.
This video provides primary training on antique appreciation skills, with a 0.5 point fee of 1 hour, whether to enter video teaching.
This is the first time Chen Dong used the system training function, and he was inexplicably looking forward to it.
