Chapter 889: A Thousand Years of Famous Paintings

Ye Tian turned a deaf ear to the discussion two or three meters away, and still concentrated on showing the scroll in his hand, not daring to be distracted at all.

The two Forbidden City cultural museum staff around me were the same, and they immediately came to their senses after a moment of stunned and continued to assist in the exhibition!

But as you could tell from the look in their eyes, they became even more excited.

You don't have to think about it, the painting in front of you must be a lost treasure of the Forbidden City, and now that it's back, can it not make people feel excited?

More and more parts of the paintings are displayed, and the discussion on the scene is getting louder and louder.

After the top two collection seals, the picture that is presented in front of everyone's eyes is two high, majestic and steep peaks, staggered and overlapped, thick and faint!

These two peaks are located in the center of the picture, the rocks are majestic and beautiful, and the cold forest and dead trees all over the peaks exude a bleak smell, but there is no sense of desolation.

Obviously, this ancient painting depicts a valley in winter.

Just from this less than a quarter of the picture, you can see that this ancient painting is majestic in composition and skillful with the brush, and it is definitely the top work of art from the hands of the master.

Ye Tian's movements were not hurried, and he was still very cautious.

In his hands, the moving picture continues to unfold!

More mountain peaks appear on the screen, distributed around the two main peaks near and far, with a group of peaks standing tall and waterfalls flowing down from the mountains, and a sense of spiritual beauty suddenly rushes to the face.

Further down, the spire of a pavilion suddenly appears in the middle of the picture, in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing this, the scene was completely boiling, and exclamations began to sound wildly.

"Xiao Temple Tower! That is definitely the Xiao Temple Tower! Li Cheng's "Picture of Qing Luan Xiao Temple" by Li Cheng of the Fifth Dynasty, oh my God! It is actually this national treasure-level famous painting, it is simply incredible!"

"That's right! This is Li Cheng's "Picture of Qingluan Xiao Temple"! It's been almost a hundred years since it was lost overseas, right? I didn't expect to see it here, it's really like a dream!

Even if you dream about it, it's not as beautiful as the scene in front of you, isn't this national treasure-level ancient painting at the Nelson Museum in Kansas, USA? How did it fall into the hands of this kid Ye Tian?

This kid is really surprising, the first ancient painting on display turned out to be Li Cheng's masterpiece, what treasures will appear next?

Compared with others, several cultural experts and museum personnel from the Forbidden City are obviously more excited, and they are already almost crazy!

"I really didn't expect that Ye Tian actually got this national treasure-level famous painting, it's too awesome! There's nothing to say, we must take down this ancient painting and let it return to the Forbidden City after a hundred years!"

"There are only four or five Li Cheng paintings that have survived to this day, and each one is a rare treasure, and all of them are collected in museums, and they are not seen on the market at all.

Since this "Picture of Qingluan Xiao Temple" has reappeared at the gate of the Forbidden City, it shows that it is related to the Forbidden City, so how can we miss it?

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely warm, and everyone stared at the scroll in Ye Tian's hand with bright eyes, their eyes were burning and hot, and they were reluctant to move away for a moment.

It seems that as soon as you look away, this national treasure will disappear from everyone's eyes and fly to the other side of the ocean again!

The movements on Ye Tian's hands were very stable, and they were not affected by the scene environment at all!

In his hands, this "Qingluan Xiao Temple", which has been lost overseas for nearly 100 years, gradually showed its true face in front of everyone.

In the middle of the picture, behind a cold forest of dead trees, there is a tall and majestic pavilion, that is, the tower of Xiao Temple, carved beams and paintings, magnificent and magnificent!

When Li Cheng painted this pavilion, he obviously used the boundary ruler, and the shape of all the pavilions and pavilions was very neat, rigorous, meticulous and steady!

This technique is rare in traditional Chinese ink landscape painting, and in the Five Dynasties more than a thousand years ago, only Li Cheng demonstrated this technique.

Below Xiao Temple, as well as on the left and right sides, there are three or four hills, which are covered with mountains and forests, and the flowing water twists and turns, twists and turns, and is beautiful and abnormal.

In the blink of an eye, the picture has been shown below, which is also a close-up.

At the bottom of the picture is a stream, formed by the mountain spring flowing out of the mountain, a wooden bridge flies on it, and there are several thatched huts and pavilions at the foot of the mountain.

At both ends of the wooden bridge, as well as between the thatched huts and pavilions, you can see the people walking back and forth, although there are only a few brushstrokes of the characters, which is quite concise, but it is very charming, very vivid!

In the foreground is a boulder that rises out abruptly, steep on one side and gentle on the other.

The steep side is rubbed with a fine brush, and at a glance, you can feel the enormity of this rock and its amazing weight!

In the foreground, there are five red collection seals, which are of different sizes and shapes, which are very eye-catching, but they do not destroy the beauty of the picture, but make it more valuable!

Unconsciously, everyone has been completely intoxicated by the wonderful artistic conception created by this ancient painting, and everyone is intoxicated and fascinated, and they can't wake up for a long time.

When the painting was displayed here, Ye Tian stopped and stopped continuing.

There are also inscriptions by collectors of all dynasties, famous connoisseurs, famous painters, top calligraphers, and several emperors, which add up to a large size!

However, there is no need to display these inscriptions! Otherwise, this bulletproof glass display case may have to be lengthened by about one meter, which may not be enough!

If you want to admire or study every celebrity inscription in the back, of course you can! At tomorrow's auction, you can just auction this national treasure-level ancient painting and take it home to study it however you want!

After displaying the main part of the painting, Ye Tian immediately said to the two Palace Museum personnel:

Roll up the top of the painting fifteen centimeters, then press it with a paperweight, the same goes for the bottom of the painting, prepare the paperweight! The bulletproof glass display case is limited, we can only show the main part of the painting!"

"Okay! Mr. Ye"

The two Forbidden City cultural and museum personnel responded in unison excitedly, and then took action.

The conversation between Ye Tian and the two of them woke up everyone at the scene, and some people immediately became anxious.

"Don't mind!Xiao Ye, don't be in a hurry to roll it! We haven't seen enough yet! Let everyone enjoy it for a while and have a good time!"

"Lao Liang is right, this is Li Cheng's painting! The originator of the Northern School of Landscapes, how many times can you see it in a lifetime?

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately joked and said:

If I agree to your request, don't do anything next, just how long will you be able to see enough of this "Picture of Qingluan Xiao Temple"?

An hour or two hours? a day or two days? If you want me to talk about it, it will take a day, right? That's it, I'll try to say as little as possible, I guess it's not enough at all!"

"You kid is right, this is a masterpiece comparable to "Traveling in Streams and Mountains"! The top national treasure, one day is enough, even if it is a lifetime, I can't appreciate enough!"

Jin Lao said with emotion, his excited voice trembling a little.

The rest of the people at the scene nodded in agreement, and no longer stopped Ye Tian's movements.

Soon, the installation of this ancient painting was completed.

After locking the bulletproof glass display case, Ye Tian's voice immediately came to everyone's ears, triumphant.

"I don't think I need to introduce this ancient painting on silk, right? This is the famous "Qingluan Xiao Temple", which was written by Li Cheng, a famous painter from the end of the Fifth Dynasty to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

On the surface of this painting, there are many collections and appreciation seals, from ancient times to the present, all dynasties, and there are many celebrity inscriptions behind, which is enough to prove the authenticity and origin of this ancient painting!

Li Cheng, one of the three great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, is the ancestor of the Northern School of Landscapes, known as 'one of the ancient and modern' in the Northern Song Dynasty, and established a milestone for more than 1,000 years of literati painting in later generations!

After thousands of years of circulation, Li Cheng's surviving works have been extremely rare, only five or six, each of which is a rare treasure, this "Qingluan Xiao Temple Map" is one of them.

About 100 years ago, this ancient painting has been collected in the Forbidden City, and it was still in the Forbidden City in the early years of the Republic of China, but because of the war, this painting flowed out of the Forbidden City and was lost to the United States.

In the United States, this painting is in the Nelson Museum in Kansas, and I paid a lot of money to get this famous painting, which was exchanged for a self-portrait by the famous painter Rembrandt!"

Ye Tian was about to continue, but was interrupted by an indignant voice.

How can the self-portrait of that foreign devil be compared with the famous paintings of Li Cheng, the third master of the Northern Song Dynasty, is not at all an order of magnitude!

I really don't know what kind of shit luck you kid has taken? You can even get your hands on the top ancient paintings like "Qingluan Xiao Temple", and let others live?"

It was Ma Ye who spoke, and there was a strong sour smell in and out of his words, which could make people lose their teeth!

"That's it, it's hard for others to encounter an ancient painting of this level in a lifetime! But there are a lot of people in your kid's hands, this world is too unfair, how can all good things fall on your kid's head!"

Jin Lao, who came from the Forbidden City, said that it was okay to be equally sour.

Without exception, everyone at the scene was envious and hated to replace Ye Tian and become the owner of this national treasure-level ancient painting.

"That's right! My luck has always been good! I still have a few top-notch ancient paintings like "Qingluan Xiao Temple", so you are ready to continue to witness miracles! Don't be frightened!"

Ye Tian said jokingly, his face full of smugness, undisguised.

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the box on the carpet, and everyone's eyes were red!
