Teacher Tang gently untied the ribbon that was tied to the scroll, then raised his hand to make a request, and smiled expectantly and said:

"Please, Ye Tian, ​​help appreciate this painting, I hope it is indeed the work of Bada Shanren, so as to solve our family's doubts."

"Okay, Teacher Tang, let me appreciate it and see if this is the work of the Eight Great Walls."

Ye Tian smiled and nodded in response, then stepped forward to the table and began to unfold the picture.

Along with his actions, a Chinese ink painting was gradually revealed and presented to everyone.

This is a Chinese painting on vertical scroll, ink on paper, about 120 cm in length and 45 cm in width. The picture is slightly yellowed, and there are some traces of water stains, but the overall preservation condition is fairly good, and there is no damage.

The main part of the picture is a budding lotus, standing proudly in the pond, trying to grow upward.

Between the roots of the lotus, a small fish swimming freely can be seen faintly, and above the bud of the lotus is a flying dragonfly, which seems to be about to fall on the bud.

At the top right of the painting, there is a poem:

‘The lotus on the east bank is taller than the lotus on the west side. The concubine's heart is like leaves and flowers like leaves, and the strange bottom galaxy refuses to flow', the calligraphy dragon and phoenix dance with great skill.

The entire painting has a simple layout and refined pen and ink. The depiction of lotus and pond is refined, only two strokes, and the depiction of dragonfly and swimming fish is vivid and vivid.

In addition to these, there are several postscripts at the bottom and top of this 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 and ink scholars in history.

After unfolding the painting, Ye Tian focused on admiring it.

In fact, he knew the authenticity of this freehand Chinese ink painting from the moment he entered the studio No. 1 and sat down at the round table.

Even if this painting is housed in a brocade box, the dazzling light emitted by it and the charming halo of up to twenty layers are like a beacon in the night, which is very 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 this painting. It was too abrupt!

The next appraisal was nothing more than a cover-up performance, but the intoxicating look on Ye Tian's face was an expression of true feelings.

After a moment of quiet appreciation, Ye Tian raised his head to look at Teacher Tang and his family, and smiled and said:

"Congratulations, Teacher Tang, your grandpa has very good luck. He has received a priceless top art piece. I am 100% sure that this is an authentic piece of Bada Shanren and worthy of collection!"

Before the words fell, a ecstasy appeared on Teacher Tang's face, and he almost cheered excitedly.

His family members are all the same, they are all excited, and their excited eyes shine straight.

Especially Old Man Tang, he took a sigh of relief immediately, tears flashed in his eyes, and the hands holding the round table were shaking gently.

This is a family heirloom left by his father. It has been passed down to the present, and it is burdened with many doubts. There may be many sorrows and joys hidden behind it!

At this moment, there is finally a conclusion about the authenticity of this top-level artwork. Can he not be excited about it?

Except for Teacher Tang's family, everyone around was envious.

This is a painting by Bada Shanren. It is absolutely valuable. If it belongs to me, it would be great!

As for the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, ​​no one questioned it at all.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that he would never look away. Such a thing had never happened before, and today is no exception.

Regarding the identification of antique works of art, the most advanced scientific testing equipment in the world today is probably not as sharp as Ye Tian's eyes, nor can he see accurately.

Undoubtedly, this is an outstanding work of Bada Shanren, a top art piece of invaluable value.

"Ye Tian, ​​thank you so much. The appraisal conclusion you gave can be considered to resolve one of our family's biggest heart problems, and we will no longer have to be suspicious in the future."

Teacher Tang said gratefully, rubbing his hands in excitement, not knowing where to put them.

Before his words fell, someone suddenly said:

"Ye Tian, ​​most of the people here are laymen, and don't know how to appreciate this top antique art. Can you explain this painting of Bada Shanren to everyone"

"Yes, Ye Tian, ​​while there is still some time, let me tell you about this painting. One more thing, this painting of Bada Shanren is so valuable. Can you tell me something about it?"

To these requests, Ye Tian did not immediately respond.

After all, this painting does not belong to him. Whether to explain the introduction publicly requires the consent of Teacher Tang, especially the announcement of the valuation, but also the nod permission of Teacher Tang, in case people do not want to disclose the valuation!

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then looked at Teacher Tang, waiting for the other party to make a decision.

Teacher Tang pondered for a while, then looked at Mr. Tang again, and when he saw Mr. Tang nod slightly to give permission, he smiled and nodded and said:

"This is a great celebration of the New Year. Since you want to know this Bada Shanren painting, then we can't make everyone happy, Ye Tian, ​​can you please explain this painting to everyone, and you can also announce the valuation!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded immediately, then smiled and said loudly:

"Okay, since Teacher Tang allowed it and everyone is very interested. If you want to learn about this Bada Shanren painting, it is better to be respectful than fate. I will give you a brief explanation, but this is just a family statement."

"Papa Papa"

There was a sudden burst of applause at the scene, short and warm.

Without exception, almost everyone at the scene looked to this side, everyone was looking forward to Ye Tian's performance, so that few people paid attention to the lively and festive Spring Festival Gala stage anymore.

Seeing this situation, the many CCTV staff present at the scene couldn't help but roll their eyes unhappily, but they were helpless.

The director group and other related people who were staring at the scene of Studio One through the monitoring screen were all dumbfounded and helpless!

Who has seen this before! Ye Tian, ​​this guy is really an out-and-out scourge, no matter where he goes!

After the applause fell slightly, Ye Tianqinglang's voice immediately came out again, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Before introducing this painting of Bada Shanren, I would like to talk to you about the forgery of ancient paintings. I hope it will be helpful to everyone, and it can also explain the different identification conclusions of this painting.

Different from Western paintings, the identification of ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy works cannot rely solely on modern high-tech testing methods, such as carbon fourteen testing, to determine the age of related ancient paintings and calligraphy works.

The reason is simple. Our country has left a lot of blank rice paper and ancient ink from ancient times. There are various dynasties and grades. The masters of forging ancient paintings and calligraphy use this kind of rice paper and ancient ink.

They want to forge the works of a dynasty and a famous painter, they will use the corresponding rice paper and ancient ink to forge. Those so-called modern detection technologies will not only fail to detect, but will mislead people.

To identify the authenticity of ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy works, the most important thing is to rely on a wealth of knowledge, experience, and vision. This requires long-term accumulation and a lot of practice to gradually improve the appreciation."

Hearing this, many people at the scene immediately started to complain.

"Long time accumulation, a lot of practice! It sounds like that, but you don't seem to be like that. According to rumors, you seem to be born with knowledge, omnipotent and omnipotent!"

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Going back to the "Lotus Swimming Fish" by Bada Shanren, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Bada Shanren has been revered as the master of a generation of Chinese painting, and his works have been enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors and literati and writers.

Entering the Republic of China and modern times, this trend has not diminished a bit. It is precisely because of the frenzy of collecting that many fakes have appeared. In addition, the paintings of Bada Shanren are basically very simple and the difficulty of forging is relatively small.

Of course ~www.novelhall.com~ those counterfeit fakes can only be similar in appearance and can't paint the soul of Bada Shanren's works at all. However, this requires professional appraisal knowledge and vision, and general collectors are easily deceived.

Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Tianjin has been the largest forgery of ancient paintings and calligraphy works in China. Bada Shanren is one of their favorite ancient famous painters. The process is simple but the rewards are amazing!

At present, most of the Bada Shanren fake works circulating in the antique art market are from Tianjin. Some of the paintings are of a very high level. It is difficult for ordinary collectors to distinguish between true and false, and many experts have eyed on it.

This has led to a situation in which some appraisal experts would be extra cautious when seeing Bada Shanren’s paintings. If they cannot identify the authenticity of the paintings and find no relevant information, they may classify them as fakes.

Teacher Tang asked someone to appraise it in the early 1980s. The appraisal expert designated this painting as a fake from Tianjin. This is the case. Fortunately, Teacher Tang and his family are very cautious and have kept the painting until now! "

"call!"

Teacher Tang and his family let out a sigh of relief, secretly grateful to each other.
