Chapter 632 Japanese Paintings

Hearing this comfort, Su He's father's face finally looked a little better, at least not all of them to hit people.

"Little brother, then look at what else I missed." Su He's father couldn't help but say.

The audience in the live broadcast room almost laughed again and said to himself: Uncle, you might as well ask which one you got lucky, which is more convenient.

Su He glared at the eyes: "What little brother, how do you calculate this generation?"

The audience who hadn't laughed yet couldn't hold it in a moment.

These two father and son are so funny, right?

The uncle glared at his son: "Shut up."

Hu Yang smiled and said, "Let's make friends with each other!"

After saying that, he looked at the batch of "collections" in the house again. He picked up one at a glance, which was a painting. However, this painting was not a paper painting, but a painting on silk cloth, which looked a bit old.

The uncle was a little confused: "Is this fake? No wonder, I don't like it even if I see it."

Poplar said "uh" and suddenly didn't know how to speak.

"Ahem! This pile of paintings is authentic and has a bit of history." Hu Guang said.

As soon as these words were said, the scene was awkward, especially the uncle's expression, which kept changing.

Many viewers in the live broadcast room looked at their phones and were so sucking.

Poplar continued: "However, this painting is a bit special."

"Well! I know, what is drawn on the cloth is a bit special." The uncle continued a stiff sentence, trying to cover up the embarrassment just now.

Huyang paused again, as if he was thinking about how to answer the conversation.

Su He couldn't help asking: "Brother Hu, what's the special way to draw this painting?"

Huyang glanced at the uncle and said carefully: "The reason why this painting is special is not because it is painted on silk cloth. In ancient times, silk paintings were actually popular. Even in dynasties where paper was popular, some painters also like to paint with silk cloth.

Its specialness is because the style of this painting is not from our Chinese, but from Japan. It can be said that this is an ancient Japanese painting."

This time, no matter how high the laughter is, the audience can't help it.

Next, the uncle no longer dared to speak casually. He slapped the face as soon as he finished speaking, which was really a bit uncomfortable.

"The ancient Japanese paintings look quite similar to the ancient paintings of our country." Andy Lau looked at them for a while and made his own remarks.

Poplar nodded: "Theoretically, the ancient Japanese culture also belongs to the Chinese cultural circle. I have said before that before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Japan admired the culture of the Central Plains very much, and even reached the point of worship."

Poplar euphratica is popular with everyone. Since the era of Asuka and Baifeng in Japan, Japan has actively introduced Chinese painting, Buddhism and Confucianism. Its painting techniques are deeply influenced by the styles of China's Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties.

By the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and even in the early Meiji period, Chinese and Japanese literati and painters had a lot of exchanges. Chinese painters represented by Jiang Jiapu, Ifuji, Zhang Qiugu, Fei Qinghu, Shen Quan traveled to Japan to exchange and teach Chinese painting techniques. This set off a trend of learning Chinese culture in Japan at that time, and had a great influence on the development of Japanese southern painting at that time, forming seven major painting schools, including the Han School of Painting and the Nanping School.

Taking this as an opportunity, many emerging painting arts and art clubs emerged, and famous literati painters such as Tomooka Tetsusai, Hashimoto Kanxue, and Takashima Kitaki. Japanese academic circles often compare Tomooka Tetsusai, Hashimoto Kanxue with China's Huang Binhong and Fu Baoshi.

As far as Poplar is concerned, after the Meiji Restoration, Japanese paintings began to be influenced by Western art and were popular with European and American oil paintings, watercolors, and gouache. Therefore, the "Chinese style" Japanese paintings from the late Tokugawa Shogunate to the early Meiji period were particularly rare.

"Is that valuable? Need to get it to Japan to change hands?" Su He asked.

Even he looked over. In fact, as long as it was an antique, it didn't matter which country he thought it was from.

However, he didn't expect that he actually took out a Japanese painting, which he found incredible.

In addition, the uncle also wanted to know what the market for ancient Japanese paintings is.

"Japanese paintings are naturally the most cost-effective to sell to Japanese people. In China, Japanese paintings do not have much market. In our country, ancient paintings have to crush each other in any aspect. Therefore, domestic collectors are not very interested in ink paintings outside of China.

As for the price of Japanese paintings, they are actually the same as in our country, and they all depend on the reputation of the painter.

The painter of this painting is Tokuoka Tetsusai, who is very famous in Japan, so it will definitely be sold for a good price." Huyang told everyone.

He explained that Tokuoka Teitsai was known as the master of the four masterpieces of poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal, and was the last master of Japanese literati paintings. He admired Su Shi throughout his life and created a large number of works with Dongpo as the theme, from Su Shi's anecdotes, collections of friends, to his poetic paintings, and the paintings of the Red Cliffs that were often painted by literati painters in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which were expressed in Tiezhai's pen.

In his early years, Tomooka Teitsai studied Dong Qichang and Xu Wei. At the same time, he also translated and edited many works of Sinology. He started with Chinese paintings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, studied Japanese styles in general, and integrated them. He tried his best to advocate traditional paintings and had a dilemma on Confucianism, Buddhism, and Shinto.

When everyone hears it, okay! Another fan of Su Shi.

It has to be said that the influence of Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, was really great.

"Su Shi was a big star in ancient times, with many fans." Andy Lau couldn't help but say.

Huyang smiled and said, "It's not just Su Shi. In ancient China, many poets, painters, and calligraphers were all stars in Japan and were deeply admired.

Some Japanese literati even wish they could be born in China.

For example, the leader of the Japanese Kanto School of Painting - Hashimoto Kanyuki.

He is also a admirer of Chinese culture. In his transcript, he mentioned many times that he is sorry that he is not a Chinese and did not grow up in China. He has few opportunities to visit famous places and historical sites in various places. He comes to travel and sketch every one or two years to make up for the shortcomings and enhance his cultivation."

As the leader of the Japanese Kanto School of Painting, Hashimoto Kanxue has always admired Chinese culture. He has come to China more than 30 times, not only studying the paintings of ancient Chinese literati painters, but also selects classical themes such as literature, history, and mythology in painting creation to promote traditional Chinese values. When Hashimoto was traveling to China, he also made friends with Wu Changshuo, Wang Yiting and others.

When everyone heard this, they were deeply proud of being born in China.

In ancient times, our ancestors created a brilliant culture and history. Unfortunately, they were defeated by a dynasty in the Qing Dynasty.

Originally, China, which had always been at the top of the world, suddenly became a second-third rank, and even became semi-colonial in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and there was a big gap between us. It was no wonder that everyone never had much favorable feelings for the Qing Dynasty.

"If you want to change this painting, it is best to leave it to an international auction house for auction." Huyang made a suggestion.
