Chapter 242

"Young friend also has research on calligraphy and painting?"

Seeing Zhao Qi shaking his head and staring at the landscape paintings on the wall as soon as he entered the door, Wu Wenying stood beside him with her hands behind her back and for two minutes and couldn't help asking.

"Oh... I understand a little bit..." Zhao Qi came back to his senses and wiped his saliva.

Although this painting does not seem to be a work by a famous artist, it is still considered an authentic Song Dynasty calligraphy and painting. If it was passed down to later generations, it would have to be sold for half a million yuan.

"My friend claims to be unstudying, and has never learned calligraphy and painting. He actually understands calligraphy and painting a little bit. Anyway, it's just chatting, why don't you tell me and let me know it!" Wu Wenying spoke with a strange expression.

"Haha, Jueweng is a master of poetry, calligraphy and painting. How dare you show off your skills? What I understand is not the calligraphy and painting itself, but the person who painted this painting was not very happy at that time!" Zhao Qi laughed dryly and explained.

"Oh~" Wu Wenying's face became even more weird. "Everyone said calligraphy and painting are from the heart, and it is not wrong for me to say this, but how do you see that the person who paints is in a bad mood?"

"Please look at this painting, this painting was originally a landscape painting. It should have been seen when traveling. The landscapes are interdependent and pedestrians and horses are drawn on the road. Whether it is landscapes, pedestrians, cars and horses, most of them are painted neatly. However, if you look closely, you will find that many of them are painted slightly messy and even casually, and the ink is uneven. From this, you can see that the painter is very irritated. He should have drawn several times intermittently before completing it. The inscription of the last poem seems to be added after the picture is completed. The handwriting is clear, clean and powerful, but it feels incompatible with the painting..."

"Often people work in one go, so that they can complete a work with enough passion, but this calligraphy and painting is not the case. Therefore, the boy speculated that the person who painted this painting was in a bad mood at the time and was a little irritable. I wonder if what the boy said was right?" Zhao Qi withdrew his eyes from the painting and turned his head to look at Wu Wenying and said with a smile.

"Please sit down with me!" Wu Wenying's face was no longer strange at this time, but admired her. After asking Zhao Qi to take her seat, she sighed and said: "My friend's explanation is completely what I saw at the beginning. I was really upset when I painted this painting..."

"It turns out to be Jueweng's work. I'm not respectful. Please don't be surprised if you talk nonsense!" Zhao Qi was immediately furious and quickly bowed and apologized.

"Why are you disrespectful? My friend's experience made me feel inferior. When I went to Canglang Pavilion with Brother Luzhai to visit General Han Shizhong, I encountered refugees fleeing in the wilderness. When I thought about the broken mountains and rivers, my country was destroyed and my family was destroyed, I was immediately moved. After I came back, I wanted to draw this painting. However, the more I painted, I became more irritable. I endured the intermittent painting for three days, but I never wanted to start writing anymore. Therefore, this painting was thrown in the corner of the wall for half a year. One day, Brother Luzhai came to have a tea and chat. When talking about this, I took out the poem Canglang Plum that I wrote at Canglang Pavilion on it. Although this poem was written by me, it was written by Brother Luzhai himself. It was a difference between one in front and one in the next half a year. Brother Luzhai's broad mind was not comparable to that of old people. Naturally, the calligraphy and painting looked incompatible..."

"It turned out to be the calligraphy written by Duke Chongguo. No wonder it looks like a silver hook!" After Wu Wenying explained, Zhao Qi suddenly realized and looked up at the painting again. He felt that the calligraphy and painting were even more inconsistent, just like a plaque that was loyal to the country was hung at the door of a brothel.

Ancient literati basically had the ability to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they just looked at which aspects were more prominent.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Wu Wenying can draw at all. In ancient times, even many generals and commanders who fought in wars were not only in meetings, but also in writing and painting with swords and guns. Many were very powerful, such as Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, and even a large number of founding generals in the later generations of New China, who were also good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and they were all very powerful.

Although not many calligraphy and paintings of the Song Dynasty have been shed in later generations, they are still hundreds of paintings in the scale of them. Zhao Qi has never touched them with his own hands, but he has seen many photocopy, remake, copy, and imitation.

Wu Wenying's painting is still very good in terms of quality, with reasonable layout, and the landscape characters are painted very well, but the brushwork is a bit messy, and the ink is uneven, which looks like a boundary painting. However, in fact, many places are painted very abstractly, with very obvious traces of ink splashing landscapes. This shows that in the late Southern Song Dynasty, both poetry, calligraphy and painting have begun to decline seriously. The gentry was in a chaotic mood, and there was no longer the open-mindedness and leisure of the literati and scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty. Poetry, calligraphy and painting are becoming more and more depressed, and there is no longer the artistic conception and grandeur of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is the first real celebrity calligraphy and painting that Zhao Qi has seen after traveling through time.

Therefore, Zhao Qi naturally had a little more appreciation.

When you have the opportunity in the future, you must move the four famous posts, Su Huang Mi Cai and various calligraphy and paintings collected by Da Nei’s library back home and study and play with them. After finally traveling through time, this antique hobby may be the easiest to satisfy.

However, the premise is to block the Mongols, otherwise Mongolia will capture Hangzhou and the emperor surrenders, for fear that the palace will be robbed, and most of the treasures left by China for more than a thousand years since the Qin and Han Dynasties will be completely destroyed.

There have been three major cultural faults in Chinese history.

Once, there was a peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty. The Chu and Han Dynasty fought for hegemony, and nearly half of the Chinese people were lost. The butcher Xiang Yu even burned Xianyang, causing a large number of precious classics from the pre-Qin period to be destroyed and completely annihilated in time and space.

The second time was when the Mongolian Yuan entered China. The population of Chinese occupied by the Jin and Song dynasties was lost to more than 60 million. Hundreds of burned cities were burned, including Chang'an, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Beijing, Shangqiu and other prosperous cities, and they were burned. The precious cultural relics were lost. In order to protect these precious materials, Li Qingzhao exhausted his family's resources and purchased a large number of gold and stone books from the north and wandered all the way to Jiangnan. However, more than ten cars of ancient books were not protected well, and most of them were stolen.

After the surrender of the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia occupied Jiangnan and also burned, killed, looted, and the prosperous Jiangnan was greatly damaged. The Hangzhou Imperial Palace was looted and set fired, and a large number of precious cultural relics in the museum were burned and lost. This time the loss was even worse than when the Chu-Han and Han struggled, because most of them were paper carriers, and the civilization accumulated over thousands of years was almost destroyed, leaving only a small amount lost among the people to preserve it.

The third time was from the late Qing Dynasty to the 1960s and 1970s of New China. A large amount of cultural relics and materials accumulated over the Ming and Qing Dynasties were once again damaged by war and man-made damage, and the losses were completely irreparable.

After discussing calligraphy and painting for a while, Wu Wenying took out a leaflet to ask about the donation. Zhao Qi also briefly explained his plans and the process of raising donations at Lingqiao Wharf. The girl brought two little maids in to make tea with tea sets and kettles, and she was extremely indignant to hear it.

"This Gao Yanei is too bad!" A little maid couldn't help but mutter softly.

"Oh, I didn't expect Lu Guangping to make trouble in this matter. Gao Yanei is indeed too arrogant and domineering. Now Ezhou is short of soldiers and wages. I just want to relieve the pressure on Duke Chong. Even if I raise more donations, I may be able to recruit more rural brave men and create more swords, guns, bows and arrows, so as not to worry about Duke Chong's anxiety on the front line..." Zhao Qi sighed.

To be honest, he hasn't figured out what to do about this matter yet.

Originally, he planned to go to the county government to beat drums and complain, but after Han Lei's persuasion, he also gave up this impulse idea.

He is currently in Qingyuan Mansion without any roots and power, and is making money by upright Xiaolongwan Harbor, and it is indeed difficult to fight with the second-in-commander of Qingyuan Mansion like Gao Zhinian, and he cannot afford to fight. Gao Zhinian only needs a little finger to crush him to death.

He had seen the situation on the dock. At that time, he called on the people to cheer for him. Unexpectedly, except for a man in black who had an unknown origin, no one came forward to support him. It can be seen that the Gao family's power in Qingyuan Prefecture was indeed so great that everyone was afraid of it.
