This is a set of fine brushwork landscape album pages with colors on silk. It is small in size and beautifully bound.
Unfortunately, the preservation condition is very poor. There are many mildew spots on the album pages and some damage on the edges.
Following Xiao Ran's movements, a green landscape with lofty artistic conception appeared immediately.
This is a "Picture of Peach Blossom Spring", and it is a large green landscape painting with fine brushwork and heavy colors.
To be more precise, this is just a part of Tao Yuanming's "The Peach Blossom Spring", a scene of the discovery of the Peach Blossom Spring.
What is depicted in the painting is exactly the ideal paradise of ancient Chinese literati.
In this green landscape, there are twin pines standing at the beginning, peach blossoms and fallen flowers on both sides of the river, rolling mountains, and white clouds rising slowly in the mountains.
At the end of the river, there is a cave with a small boat parked in front of it and a person standing in the cave.
That was the Wuling fisherman, the discoverer of Peach Blossom Spring.
The scene ends abruptly here, it is the process of Wuling fisherman discovering the Peach Blossom Spring.
The whole picture has lofty artistic conception, beautiful scenery and leisurely contentment, just like a fairyland on earth.
In this painting, the artist's painting skills are very high.
No matter the plants, trees, branches or leaves, or the characters' movements and expressions, etc., they are all described in detail, rigorously and neatly.
The whole painting is colored green and the colors are beautiful and elegant, fully demonstrating the painter's profound ability to express figures and landscapes.
But unfortunately, there are some large or small mold spots on the painting, and there are also some ulcers on the edges.
Fortunately, the situation is not serious and can be saved.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran discovered it in time, otherwise, this beautiful set of "Peach Blossom Spring" would be completely destroyed by a group of dead liars.
Although he had already looked through this set of landscape albums more than once, Xiao Ran was still deeply attracted when he saw them again.
In the blink of an eye, he had merged into the painting, his eyes filled with intoxication.
At this time, he felt that he was wandering at the entrance of the Peach Blossom Spring, trying to follow the Wuling fisherman into the Peach Blossom Spring and have a glimpse of the fairyland on earth.
As Fang Yufei showed this close-up shot of "First Meeting in Peach Land", both live broadcast rooms fell silent instantly.
Without exception, almost all fans in the live broadcast room were shocked and completely attracted by the beautiful scenery in the painting.
Both live broadcast rooms are full of Chinese people, and only Chinese people can best appreciate the beauty of their own national culture!
It was a spiritual fit, a blood connection.
What's more, this is "The Peach Blossom Spring". Who among the Chinese who have gone to school doesn't know the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming?
No matter ancient or modern, which Chinese does not have a peach blossom garden in their heart?
It took a long time for the silence to be broken.
"Wow! It turns out to be "Peach Blossom Spring", it's so beautiful, it's incomparable!"
"This is art, this is painting! Compared with the two, Picasso's painting is simply garbage, what a piece of junk!"
Qiantang Lin Fan said with admiration.
With his words, everyone woke up and laughed knowingly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of admiration in the live broadcast room.
"Looking at this painting "First Seeing the Peach Blossom Spring", I suddenly remembered the "Peach Blossom Spring" I recited when I was a child."
"In the Taiyuan period of the Jin Dynasty, the people of Wuling made a living by fishing. They walked along the stream, forgetting the distance of the road, and suddenly came across a peach blossom forest..."
Fusu Xiaoyu said with emotion, and couldn't help but start to recite "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring".
After memorizing a few words, this guy got stuck and hesitated.
Obviously, he had already returned "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" to the Chinese teacher.
Seeing this scene, the live broadcast room immediately burst into laughter.
Immediately afterwards, someone else continued to recite "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring".
In this way, everyone seemed to be in a relay race and quickly recited the entire "Peach Blossom Spring".
"..., no one cared about it afterwards"
As soon as these words were spoken, the live broadcast room instantly boiled with thunderous applause.
Everyone was extremely excited and remembered the paradise in their hearts!
After the applause fell, everyone returned to the topic.
"This green landscape is so beautiful. It deserves to be one of the Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty. It's such a wonderful painting!"
"I feel that this set of Qiu Ying's twelve albums is authentic, and imitations cannot have such an intoxicating charm!"
Contentment is not always enough and joy is endless.
Most of the fans in the two live broadcast rooms had the same idea as him, and they all echoed.
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, smiled and said:
"I also think this set of Qiu Ying's "Twelve Albums of the Peach Blossom Spring" is authentic and very rare and precious."
"As far as I know, Qiu Ying likes the theme of "Peach Blossom Spring" very much and has created many works in the Peach Blossom Spring series."
"This may be related to Qiu Ying's poor background. He always hopes to find such an ideal paradise and live peacefully."
"Qiu Ying's green landscape paintings with the same theme are collected by several museums in New York and Boston."
"I compared these paintings by Qiu Ying with similar themes, and found that this set of twelve pages has many similarities..."
Next, he elaborated on the basis of his identification.
And the landscape paintings at the back of this set of twelve volumes are presented to everyone one by one.
This set of "Twelve Pages of Peach Blossom Spring" is completely based on Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring".
The first painting is "First Seeing the Peach Land", followed by "Seeing and Hearing the Peach Land", "Chatting in the Peach Land",...
It is not until the end that the Peach Blossom Spring disappears into a dreamlike cloud, and the entire album ends.
Looking at these beautiful and distant green landscape paintings, both Xiao Ran and the many fans in the live broadcast room were deeply attracted and fascinated by them.
When Xiao Ran finished showing the last painting on the album, the live broadcast room became quiet again.
After a while, everyone finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, both live broadcast rooms exploded.
"This set of "Twelve Albums of Peach Blossom Spring" is so beautiful and shocking!"
"I bet that this is definitely an authentic work by Qiu Ying of the Four Ming Dynasties. Which fake painter has such painting skills?"
After reading Tang poetry well, he said with emotion.
Hearing this, the others also agreed.
"That's right. If this were a fake, the artist who painted this set of twelve pages would have been famous a long time ago."
"Only a forger of Zhang Daqian's level can create such a perfect fake!"
Listening to these discussions, Xiao Ran nodded proudly.
"This set of Qiu Ying's "Twelve Albums of Peach Blossom Spring" is indeed perfect, but it is a pity that it is severely damaged."
"In two days I will send this set of twelve albums back to Beijing and hire the top calligraphy and painting experts in the country for appraisal."
"If it is identified that it is really the original work of Qiu Ying, we will immediately start restoration and protection work and re-mount it."
While talking, Mr. Qin and Mr. Jin suddenly said at the same time:
"Xiao Ran, there is no doubt that this set of "Twelve Albums of Peach Blossom Spring" is the authentic work of Qiu Ying, one of the four families of the Ming Dynasty."
"This set of Qiu Ying's twelve albums was originally collected by the Qing Palace and was inherited in an orderly manner. It was lost overseas in the 1940s and has been missing ever since."
"I don't know when I ended up living in New York again, and I was almost destroyed. Fortunately, I was discovered by you. What a lucky coincidence!"
"You just need to send this set of "Twelve Albums of Peach Blossom Spring" back to Beijing, and leave the rest of the restoration and protection work to us."
As Jin Lao and others gave a positive identification conclusion, the live broadcast room burst into cheers again.
"It's great, let me just say, this is definitely Qiu Ying's authentic work, as expected!"
Jade in the ocean said proudly.
"This exquisite set of "Twelve Albums of Peach Blossom Spring" must be a national treasure-level work of art!"
"Xiao Ran is so lucky that he can find any treasure!"
Gongzi Ling continued with envy.
While he was talking, a fan in the collector's live broadcast room suddenly asked:
"Xiao Ran, how much do you value this set of Twelve Albums of Peach Blossom Spring by Qiu Ying?"
"One more thing, are you planning to sell this set of twelve volumes? My boss is interested in acquiring it?"
Immediately afterwards, many fans began to inquire.
Xiao Ran did not avoid this question and gave a positive answer.
"The valuation of this set of Qiu Ying's "Twelve Albums of Peach Blossom Spring" is at least 100 million yuan, or even higher."
"It's too early to say whether it will be sold or not. The restoration and protection of this album is expected to last several months."
"When the restoration and protection work is completed, we will discuss whether to sell this treasure. There is plenty of time."
After hearing this, everyone stopped asking questions.
Next, Xiao Ran showed the set of "Twelve Albums of Peach Blossom Spring" again for everyone to enjoy.
After finishing the display, he took some soft white wax paper that he had prepared and cut it into the size of an album.
Then, he sandwiched the wax papers one by one in the middle of the album, placing one in the middle of each folded page.
The reason for this is to separate the painting pages and protect each painting in the album.
Seeing his action, Mr. Jin and the others were full of praise and praised him repeatedly.
After doing this, Xiao Ran carefully put away the set of twelve volumes.
Next, he took out another set of albums from the safe and began to display them.
This is a set of Dong Qichang's calligraphy albums. Unfortunately, they are fakes. The originals are collected in a museum in China.
Then two sets of album pages and a scroll were displayed in front of everyone.
These three items are also fakes and have little value.
Soon, Xiao Ran took out another scroll from the safe and carefully placed it on the desk.
The scroll was quite badly damaged, with the shaft heads at both ends rotten.
At this time, Xiao Ran was extremely excited.
Fortunately, his ability to control his emotions was pretty good and he didn't show any flaws.
