Everyone agrees with Qi Xiang's analysis.

Why do some people become famous painters who have been famous for generations, while others have always been unknown, and their works are regarded as garbage and are ignored?

Putting aside all kinds of good times, place, people, and not mentioning opportunities and destiny, the key is still a matter of strength.

For example, painters in the Ming and Qing dynasties, except for some literati and officials who had superior backgrounds and were famous, most of the remaining painters should be so-called grassroots origins.

The reason why grassroots painters can become famous all over the world is not luck, but strength. Behind every grassroots painter's fame is that they have experienced the cruel market test.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jiangnan had a prosperous commerce and literary style. He was rich and fond of hiding. Heroes and tycoons rushed to buy calligraphy and painting, and their artwork became the social atmosphere at that time.

In order to support their families, many down-and-out literati had to make ends meet by selling articles and paintings.

According to incomplete statistics, in the entire Jiangnan region, in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area alone, there are tens of thousands of literati who make a living by selling paintings. From this we can also know how fierce the competition in this industry is.

In such a fierce competition, only by relying on one's own strength can one stand out and make a name for himself. Incompetent painters have long been eliminated and it is impossible for them to leave their own name in later generations.

Everyone knew very well that Ren Bonian was also a very grassroots painter. He was born in poverty, but he made a comeback and eventually became a world-renowned master of painting.

Although he was not a literati, he was somewhat unpopular at the time. However, after his death, people kept rectifying his name. In particular, Mr. Xu Beihong regarded him as his predecessor and highly praised him.

This is also a good story in the history of painting. The day when Ren Bonian died happened to be the date of Xu Beihong's birth.

After learning about this, Xu Beihong often boasted of Ren Bonian's descendant, and was very obsessed with Ren Bonian's works. He even wrote books and biography for him and sorted out his life and deeds.

With the promotion and publicity of Master Xu Beihong, the world's evaluation of the artistic value of Ren Bonian's works has become increasingly high. In modern times, Ren Bonian has become a recognized master of the painting world...

The master's works are naturally very extraordinary, different from ordinary painters.

Some appraisers have thoroughly studied master's works and are very familiar with master's painting style. When appraising calligraphy and paintings, they often start from the details and style to distinguish the authenticity.

This is how Qi Xiang exposed the problems in a painting bit by bit, which was reasonable and well-founded, and made everyone very convinced and suddenly realized.

"No need to say more, this must be a painting by Ren Bonian's daughter, and it is a fake!" Someone vowed to support Dandan.

Some people also took the opportunity to inquire: "Old Sun, is he right?"

"Haha..." Old Sun smiled without saying a word.

"What are you anxious about?" An old man next to him waved his hand and said, "He hasn't finished speaking yet. Let's hear him finish everything first, and we'll announce the answer."

"Hasn't the fake been picked out, it's not over yet?" Someone was puzzled.

"You are stupid. I didn't hear him say just now. Both paintings have problems." Someone reminded: "Now he has just told me about the problem of one painting, and there is another painting."

"Another painting?" the man murmured in a low voice: "What else can I do?"

Others glared at me: "If I know, I will be the one who will win the lottery."

"Hey, too!"

Some people whisper and envy each other, but they have no jealousy and hatred. After all, Qi Xiang also stands out based on her ability. The mediocre ones are down and the capable ones are up. It is very fair and reasonable. If you want to hate, you can only hate yourself for not being able to blame others.

Someone also asked: "Isn't another painting quite good? What's wrong with it?"

"The other work is indeed very good." Qi Xiang also agreed: "The style is highly consistent with the original works of Ren Bonian. As we all know, Ren Bonian cannot write poetry because he has little reading and poor cultural cultivation."

"So in his works, there are very few poems written, and they do not rely on the supplement of poems. There are not many inscriptions in the painting. There are probably only the time, place, and why people paint and sign it."

Qi Xiang commented: "Sometimes, there are only a few words on a large painting. Unlike some literati painters, who are well-read and able to achieve the three bestsellers of poetry, calligraphy and painting."

"Of course, these shortcomings are also advantages. Due to the lack of text, it is easier for people to discover poetry in his works. His works are poetic in paintings, full of poetry, strong sense of picture, long aftertaste, and worth savoring."

After admiring, Qi Xiang frowned and hesitated: "But although this painting has the same style and strength as Ren Bonian, it has a big problem."

"What's the problem?" Many people were curious.

"Some of it cannot be seen from the photos." Qi Xiang said solemnly: "But as long as you observe the original painting carefully, it should be easy to find that the brush and ink on the painting has a bit of floating feeling and cannot penetrate into the heart of the painting."

"ah?"

When everyone heard this, they were naturally very surprised.

Although everyone present has different strengths, they all know what Qi Xiang means and understands the meaning of Qi Xiang's words. Generally speaking, the so-called painting heart refers to the original picture of the calligrapher and painter who completed the work on rice paper without any mounting.

The problem is that the brush and ink do not penetrate the heart of the painting.

Because for calligraphy and painting works, it is very important to be "in-depth".

You should know that the paper that splashes ink is often kneaded by several layers to form a piece.

This is why, antiques business has the situation of stealing original works through clever means of revealing paintings. Several layers of paper, even if one or two layers are removed, and after adding colors, it will be another original works.

Of course, only when the ink marks penetrate into the interior of the drawing paper and the ink rendering is sufficient, the work can be passed on for a long time. The stolen paintings, due to their thin foundation, will definitely not be preserved for long, and will easily melt and break, and will naturally be destroyed.

Now Qi Xiang said that this painting is ink and does not penetrate the heart of the painting, which is indeed shocking.

"Know the painting?"

Thinking of this possibility, everyone was shocked, and a group of people looked at each other.

At the same time, they finally understood Qi Xiang's embarrassment: "If it is to reveal the painting, it will be really difficult to deal with. It is indeed difficult to define whether this thing is an authentic work or a fake."

The painting of the painting itself is revealed from the original, and is an extension of the original. Logically speaking, it should be considered an original. The problem is that the painting of the painting is only a thin layer, and there is basically white paper underneath, and the picture must be made vivid through complementary colors.

However, in the industry, people generally consider that such behavior is fake for adding or refining pens that are not the author himself, perhaps in addition to repairing the problem.

If you make a painting with your hands and feet, you will naturally be a fake.

"It's a pit..."

"It's obvious that it's a scam."

People with flexible minds understand the sinister intentions better.

Two works, one of which may be the ghostwriter of Ren Bonian's daughter. I have also said before that it is difficult to say whether it is a fake or a genuine work.

Another work may be a painting that reveals paintings. The recognition of paintings is even more ambiguous.

The two paintings seem real or fake, and the real or fake also make everyone confused and can't tell the difference.

"These old traitors... are not right. They should be old seniors. They are really... amazing." Boss Pang Da was very happy and wanted to treat guests and give gifts immediately to express his gratitude.

"My brothers, is it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"

Among the crowd, there were also a few older people. Although their prestige and strength were not as strong as those of several collection and appraisal masters, they were considered senior and highly respected experts, and expressed their dissatisfaction very tactfully.

Forget about other people, they dare not ignore the accusations of several old experts and collection appraisal masters.

At the right time, Mr. Sun quickly expressed his opinion: "Brothers, things are not what you think. We can guarantee that although these two paintings have their own mystery, they are definitely not pitfalls..."

"This is not a pit, what else can it be?" others were very suspicious.

Seeing that Mr. Sun seemed to be trying to explain in depth, Boss Pang hurriedly cut in and stopped Mr. Sun's spoilers, then turned around and smiled, "Brother, the old men also made it very clear. Only one of the two paintings is the original. Which one is it? You can choose now, right?"

Qi Xiang frowned and pondered, unable to make decisions...

"Men should be more decisive and don't let mother-in-law and mother be stubborn." Boss Pang Da started to run, wishing he could help Qi Xiang choose one randomly.

"What are you urging me to urging me to death." The others were very dissatisfied and felt that Boss Pang Da was too much.

The public was so angry that Boss Pang suddenly shut up and his mind was shattered.

"I think..."

After a while, Qi Xiang let out a sigh and finally made a decision. He pointed to one of the paintings and said, "I think this should be... the original!"

“Huh?”

When everyone saw it, they felt unexpected and reasonable. They saw that Qi Xiang pointed to the photo that was suspected to be a revealing painting.

"Ha ha……"

Boss Pang Da laughed loudly, with an excited expression on his face: "Are you sure? If you choose, you can't change it."

Could it be that you chose the wrong one?

Everyone's hearts were thrilled, and they felt sorry for Qi Xiang, and it was not worth it.

Just one last step away, a 50% chance of failure.

While everyone was sighing, they saw the proud boss turning around, his smile instantly withdrew, and said carefully: "A few old men, are he right?"

When everyone heard the sound, they almost vomited an old blood.

It turns out that Boss Pang Da doesn’t know the answer, so why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?

Under the attention of everyone, an old man calmly asked Qi Xiang: "What do you think it is the original, what is the reason?"

"I actually need a reason...Okay, I actually want to know the reason..."

As soon as a group of people turned their eyes, they focused on Qi Xiang. Everyone knew that the key to success or failure was to kill this.
