What is Li Bai's calligraphy level?
This is a topic where benevolence sees benevolence and wisdom sees wisdom.
But to be honest, compared with swordsmanship and poetry writing, Li Bai's calligraphy is indeed not famous, and compared with many of his contemporaries, Li Bai's calligraphy is not amazing enough.
But this does not prevent that the authentic works handed down by Li Bai have extremely high collection and archaeological value.
It is more complicated to identify the authenticity of calligraphy. Unlike ceramics, bronzes, etc., it can be done with some instruments.
Calligraphy appraisal is based on a comprehensive consideration of many factors such as the material of the paper, the choice of pen, and the style of the font.
The more Professor Zhang Guowen watched, the more unbelievable he became.
He specializes in studying the history of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Bai, the romantic poet, cannot be avoided.
It can be said that for the appraisal of some cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty, he can confirm with the naked eye whether they are true or false with a high probability.
And now, under his naked eye observation, this painting "About Wine" seems to be an authentic work by Li Bai.
There wasn't even a single flaw that could make him suspicious.
Soon, Qin Luo, accompanied by Tang Chao, came to Li Bai's authentic work.
"I would like to ask my friend, where did you get this painting "About to Enter the Wine"?"
Before Qin Luo could speak, Zhang Guowen asked impatiently.
Following the system's previous instructions, Qin Luo replied:
"It was passed down from my ancestors. It is said that I got it from the descendants of Cen Xun. The descendants of Cen Xun once searched for my ancestors and said that Mr. Li Taibai specially gave this calligraphy to Cen Xun for safekeeping and to give it to a certain person." Friend!"
Hearing Qin Luo's answer, Zhang Guowen was in a daze. He seemed to be thinking and was still mumbling.
Within a few seconds, Zhang Guowen spoke again:
"May I ask, my little friend, is your surname Qin?"
oh?
Now it was Qin Luo's turn to be surprised.
How did you guess your last name?
"My surname is Qin. How do you know, sir?"
"The surname is Qin, the surname is Qin..."
Zhang Guowen kept mumbling, and suddenly, there seemed to be a bright light shining in his eyes.
Yes.
Qin.
Zhang Guowen thought of an allusion he had seen in an unofficial history.
According to legend, in his later years, Li Bai repeatedly mentioned a friend named Qin whom he had never met before. His friend named Qin was extremely respected. It is said that this person brewed good wine, which Li Taibai would never forget in his later years. , so he wrote poems and gave them to his friends named Qin.
Because they had never met each other, this poem was preserved by Cen Xun, the master's son, and passed down from generation to generation.
Could it be that?
Is this "About Wine" the autographed poem that Li Taibai gave to his friend surnamed Qin?
At this time, even Zhang Guowen seemed a little out of control.
Because he gradually discovered that the painting "About to Enter the Wine" in front of him was more and more consistent with being an authentic work by Li Bai.
At this moment, Wang Lei walked in carrying a bag from outside the museum.
Opening the bag, a lot of equipment for identifying cultural relics was exposed.
"Little friend Qin, I wonder if you can let me carefully identify this "Jianjin Wine"?"
Qin Luo was a little stunned.
What are the identities of these three people in front of me?
Magnifying glasses, microscopes, spotlights and other equipment are all available.
Could it be that this person wants to authenticate his Li Bai painting on the spot?
"I wonder who you are?"
At this time, the importance of having two followers around you becomes apparent.
Tang Chao quickly introduced:
"My teacher is Professor Zhang Guowen from the History Department of Qinghua University. He is proficient in Sino-foreign relations and the history of the Tang Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Qin Luo's eyes lit up.
This is really wonderful!
It seems that there is no need for these people to find other people. Although he has never heard of Professor Zhang Guowen, the professor of the History Department of Qinghua University is definitely an expert among experts.
"It turns out to be Professor Zhang. I'm sorry. I wonder if Professor Zhang can help me issue an identification document?"
If there is an appraisal from Professor Zhang, the credibility will definitely be high.
"My friend, can you open the glass display case and let me identify it carefully? I still need to further judge the authenticity of this painting "The Wine Will Enter". If it is genuine, I can naturally issue this appraisal certificate!"
At this time, Zhang Guowen did not have the airs of a professor at Qinghua University. Meeting Li Bai's authentic work this time simply exceeded all his original expectations.
For an old scholar like him who is obsessed with historical research, encountering a historical artifact that has not yet been authenticated and is an authentic work by Li Bai is definitely the greatest joy in life.
At this time, the two students were beyond words.
The teacher's performance further intensified their inner speculation——
"This painting "About to Enter the Wine" is an authentic work by Li Bai!"
Compared with their teacher, their skills are definitely far behind, so we can't tell any clues from this painting "About Entering the Wine".
Moreover, the more realistic the calligraphy looked, the more certain they were that it was fake.
Because only very high technology can achieve such realistic high imitation.
But at this moment,
From initial ridicule and disgust, they became dumbfounded.
Did his teacher see the significance of this calligraphy?
Is this really Li Bai's authentic work?
No way, a shabby little museum with the authentic works of Li Bai hidden inside?
Where can I go to explain this?
After Qin Luo heard Zhang Guowen's words, he did not agree immediately. He first opened the official website of Qinghua University on his mobile phone, and then found the teacher introduction of the History Department.
After confirming that Zhang Guowen at the scene and Zhang Guowen on the official website were the same person, Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
it is true.
He was really afraid of being a liar.
As for opening the glass display cabinet, of course there is no problem.
According to the systematic introduction, this glass showcase is a showcase with extremely high safety factor. There is no possibility of being broken open by brute force, and it is difficult to damage this glass showcase whether it is water or fire.
If you want to open it, you can only do it through the system, so the only condition for opening this glass showcase is that Qin Luo himself operates it.
"Professor Zhang, wait a moment, I will open the showcase right now, please be careful!"
In fact, he didn't need to remind him. Zhang Guowen's careful movements made him feel at ease.
He was worried just now that if the great professor maliciously destroyed his original work of Li Bai, he would suffer a great loss, at least a thousand dollars in wine money.
But Zhang Guowen's actions also confirmed that he is indeed a professor and collector who truly loves cultural relics.
He did not touch the painting "About Drinking" with his hands. Instead, he let two students control the spotlight from a distance, while he held a magnifying glass and looked at it with concentration.
First, look at the paper carefully, inch by inch, without missing any gaps.
And Qin Luo noticed that Zhang Guowen's expression was gradually changing from the seriousness at the beginning, and the shocked expression on his face seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
Oops!
Does this mean that his "Journey into the Wine" is an authentic work by Li Bai?
Qin Luo thought so.
