I Just Want To Be A Salted Fish Quietly

"Writing at the Liuxin Pavilion in Zijin Mountain, as a gift to girlfriend Zhang Mengyao, wishing a happy birthday. --- October 18, 2015, Lin Xian.

Seeing this line of writing, and then looking at the girl in the painting a few times, the lady's calm heart unexpectedly burst into a wave of jealousy and envy.

The old man is right, art is common, regardless of national boundaries.

Really beautiful things, even if the culture is different, can also taste the beauty in it.

Some paintings, after a glance, are quickly forgotten.

But some paintings can make people remember deeply and engrave them for a lifetime.

Obviously, this painting is the latter.

The lady hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "You two, I would like to ask, do you intend to transfer this painting?"

transfer?

Lin Xian and Zhang Mengyao were taken aback for a moment, then turned their heads to look.

The light in the store was too dim before, so I couldn't see the facial features clearly, but it just felt very beautiful, giving people a gentle temperament.

Looking at it now, Lin Xian 06 felt that this lady was very familiar, and she looked a little like Mu Wanqing in her features.

Could this be Mu Wanqing's mother?

Of course, Lin Xian just guessed randomly and didn't say it, otherwise it would be embarrassing to admit the wrong person.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Mengyao resolutely refused, "Sorry, this painting is not for sale."

"Well, that's such a pity.

The noble lady smiled slightly, and did not continue to pester her, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She was well-bred, behaved very well, and made people feel very comfortable.

This made Zhang Mengyao a little embarrassed. She felt that what she said earlier was a bit too serious, so she explained: "This is a birthday present from my boyfriend. No matter what, I won't sell it."

The noble lady brushed her hair by her ears, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm too abrupt. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't sell it."

"You guys are busy first, I won't call."

After finishing speaking, the lady turned and walked towards the wooden frame, continuing to choose the inkstone.

Zhang Mengyao looked away and asked: "Boss, can you mount it?"

"Yes, of course I can frame it!"

The old man nodded and said firmly.

"How long will it take?" Zhang Mengyao asked.

The old man replied: "Western framing is easier, it takes about a week!"

"so long?"

Zhang Mengyao was taken aback.

She originally thought that framing a painting would take at most one or two hours, but she didn't expect that it would take a full week.

Seeing her expression, the old man explained: "It's pretty fast. If you change to another store, it will take ten days and a half a month. It's impossible. Of course, if you want to use a machine to mount the picture, you can do it. It's done in half an hour."

This kind of old shop sells craftsmanship.

Zhang Mengyao didn't understand the doorway inside, and asked curiously, "Is there any difference?"

"Difference!"

The old man curled his lips and said: "As the saying goes, three parts of the painting are seven parts of the mounting. If a painting is well mounted, it can not only set off the artistic conception of the painting, but also prolong the life of the painting."

For example, the existing antique calligraphy and paintings have survived hundreds of thousands of years and have been handed down to the present. Apart from the good maintenance of the collectors, the most important thing is the craftsmanship of the paintings.

If you want to frame a painting, you don't just need to find a frame and put the painting in it.

Before mounting the painting, it is necessary to observe the original painting first, and figure out the bearing and artistic conception of the painting, so as to select the appropriate material to make the frame, so as to achieve the temperament of the painting.

Then there are steps such as mixing pulp, supporting the back, putting on the wall, adding strips, mounting the satin, putting on the shaft, and adding signs...etc.

Such a complicated process is done purely by hand, and a week is indeed fast.

This is because modern technology is advanced and many materials are convenient to make. Otherwise, in ancient times, it would be very normal for a painting to be mounted for half a year.

After listening to the old man's explanation, Lin Xian and Zhang Mengyao suddenly realized.

Gain knowledge!

Zhang Mengyao raised her eyebrows, and asked worriedly: "This should be expensive, right?"

It sounds extremely complicated, and it is hand-framed, so she thinks the cost should not be cheap.

This painting was Lin Xian's birthday present to her, and she was going to pay for it herself to frame it.

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head, and said with a smile: "No money! According to the rules of the Study Room, there is no charge for such a good calligraphy and painting, as long as Mr. Lin Xian leaves a work.

This rule is quite interesting, but I always feel that I am at a loss.

According to the old man's logic, the paintings that catch his eye are at least master-level paintings.

And a calligraphy work of a master is obviously valuable.

Seeing his expression, the old man said with a smile: "Mr. Lin Xian, don't worry, you will never lose money."

Zhang Mengyao blinked her big eyes and said curiously: "Boss, so you should have many authentic works by masters?"

"Of course, let me show you."

The old man was in a good mood, stood up and walked towards the back of the screen.

Lin Xian and Zhang Mengyao followed immediately.

Bypassing the screen, you can see a table with a simple shape, which is placed in traditional Chinese medicine.

There are various framing tools on the table, which should be a workbench.

And on the wall behind the workbench, there are seven or eight paintings and calligraphy.

The old man smoked a big pipe, pointed to a pair of ink paintings and introduced: "This is a painting left by Mr. Zhang Daqian in his early 780s. I was only in my early twenties at that time, time flies, and decades have passed in a flash. "

The whole painting is very concise, and a landscape painting is outlined with just a few strokes.

It can be seen that this is done casually.

But even if it is a casual work, there is a sense of agility, and the mountain stream seems to be flowing slowly.

As expected of a master, indeed powerful.

After feeling a lot of emotion, the old man pointed to another painting, and introduced: "This is Mr. Huang Junbi's painting in his later years, and this should be regarded as his last work.

The name Huang Junbi may be unfamiliar to many people.

Although he is not as famous as Mr. Zhang Daqian, his attainments in ink painting are not low, and he is a master of modern landscape painting.

When he was young, Zhang Daqian and Pu Xinshe were known as the Three Masters of Crossing the Sea.

He even went to Spain with Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Qi Shiraishi and others to discuss and communicate with Picasso.

After a series of introductions, they are all works of masters.

Even Lin Xian couldn't help but secretly startled.

Good guy, according to the current prices of these master calligraphy and paintings, these words are worth at least tens of millions.

Tens of millions of calligraphy and paintings are just hung in such an inconspicuous mounting shop, and no one will believe it. .
