Chapter 154 The Way to Turn One Into Two

"Our Huaxia paintings and calligraphy use ink, which means that ink will penetrate the paper, and many times it is painted and written on the surface of the paper. In fact, it may have penetrated the entire paper. In this case, I would There are masters who can peel the paper into several layers, which means that one painting can be turned into two paintings or even three paintings. The difference between these three paintings is very small, often only in terms of ink color. Whether it's the brushwork or the style, it's all the same."

"This is the case with the two paintings in front of me. Someone used this method to turn one painting into two paintings. Under normal circumstances, the ink color must be different, but because this is an ancient painting, it is hundreds of years old. After time, the difference in ink color becomes very small, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all!"

Mao Peng and Zhao Sheng were stunned. They didn't expect this to happen at all, but just thinking about it, it really makes sense. Only in this way can they explain why the two paintings in front of them are exactly the same no matter how they look, because they are from The same person's hands are different if they are different. In fact, this is the fundamental reason why so many people, including myself, can't tell which of the two paintings is real and which is fake. All pictures are real!

"This technique is very common in the collection of ancient paintings and calligraphy."

"There used to be a lot of stories about this. For example, someone lent an ancient painting to someone he knew well, or gave it to an auction house or even a familiar appraiser, and asked them to produce, appraise, and store it. One day, they had no doubts about the painting they wanted to return. They never thought that the top layer of their painting had been removed by someone else, and that what they were holding in their hands was the next-level genuine product, which was like being taken away by others. An authentic one."

"If the person who took away the authentic works is just to appreciate them, and they are not left out at all, others will never be able to notice them, but once they appear, when two paintings are placed together, which one is the real work and which one is fake, it is very interesting. It might be silly to tell the difference."

Tang Miaomiao has heard too many stories like this. There are many such things in ancient calligraphy and painting. Some masters specialize in it. A painting can be divided into three or even more. Come down or return it to the original owner. For the remaining two floors, through color complementation and other methods, it is absolutely possible to mix the fake with the real. This is equivalent to two more ancient paintings. The opportunity is suitable to sell and make money, and the money is full. This is absolutely No business.

"Actually, it's easy to judge whether this is the case or not. Just find a mounting expert, dismantle the mounted place of the two paintings, and check the thickness of the paper, and you will be able to tell the difference immediately."

Tang Miaomiao knew that this kind of thing was actually easy to judge.

Mao Peng and Zhao Sheng, you look at me, I look at you, and finally sighed together.

"Looks like that should be the case!"

"I didn't expect this to happen!"

Mao Peng and Zhao Sheng are masters of calligraphy and painting, and there is no ambiguity in the aspect of mounting. They are also masters. The two of them worked together and quickly disassembled the mounting of the two paintings. Absolutely stripped.

Both Mao Peng and Zhao Sheng were a little depressed. When something like this happened, no one was a winner. After so many years of ancient paintings, it was difficult to tell which one had clearer ink and which one was slightly worse. , In a word, it is impossible to determine which painting is the top layer of paper. What is more important is not this, but that a good painting has been tossed into this way. For two masters of calligraphy and painting Said, this is the most painful thing.

"You guys who play antique collection are really going too far!"

"Things like this can be done!"

"A beautiful painting turned out to be like this."

Zhao Sheng complained.

"Elder Zhao, it's a bit unfair for you to say that this kind of thing is done by our antique collectors."

"Apart from the parties involved, no one knows what the hell is going on, maybe you calligraphers and painters did it!"

Tang Miaomiao would never take the blame. This kind of thing is simply a headless koan, and no one knows who did it.

Zhao Sheng was speechless, this was a deadly matter, he was just complaining.

"It's a good thing!"

"One picture becomes two pictures!"

Song Yun smiled and made a round.

Although Zhao Sheng and Mao Peng are very depressed, it is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to do it. Although these two paintings are from one painting, now that they are separated, it is impossible to stick them back together and become one painting. There are no such masters in the world at all. It is possible to peel a piece of paper into two pieces of paper, but someone can do it, but it is not a job for people to stick it back.

Mao Peng and Zhao Sheng were willing to admit defeat, and asked Peng Guo to fetch two paintings. They were not fooling around at all. They were all large-scale boutiques.

Tang Miaomiao was very happy. She carefully put it away. She came here today to sell paper, and she never expected such an unexpected harvest.

"Song Yun, where the hell did you come from?"

"You have such eyesight?"

Zhao Sheng was very surprised. His people, including some so-called experts in appraisal, had tossed around for several months, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. It took Song Yun less than two hours to figure it out immediately.

"Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng, do you know them? Experts in appraisers, known as masters, I think they are living as dogs at their age, or they have a false name. They have studied here for half a month, but they can't say anything. Come out, I don't understand the situation at all."

Mao Peng started firing.

Song Yun couldn't answer. Zhu Deyuan and Xu Desheng not only knew but knew each other, they were both their seniors, Mao Peng and them were of the same seniority or even higher, so it's not surprising to yell at them. Can say anything.

Zhao Sheng and Mao Peng cursed for a while before they stopped.

"what?"

"correct!"

"Girl Song Yuntang, what are you two doing here today?"

Mao Peng scolded dryly, and when he stopped to drink tea, he remembered that Song Yun and Tang Miaomiao must have something to do here.

Peng Guo finally had a chance at this time, and quickly told the matter.

"what?"

"Is there any problem with my ears?"

"Did I hear it wrong? Do you have gold millet paper in your hands?"

"how can that be?!"

Zhao Sheng jumped up from the sofa as soon as he heard it.

"Are you sure it's from the Song Dynasty?"

"Isn't that wrong?"

"There are many imitations of this kind of paper in later generations. Wouldn't it be this kind?"

Mao Peng was equally astonished, this is simply impossible, unless the gold millet paper in the hands of Song Yun and Tang Miaomiao is imitation of later generations, if it is the batch of Song Dynasty, it is absolutely incredible.
