Han Shenxian is with Peking Opera students (second row right horse, third row Han Shenxian, fourth row Tan).

From the perspective of investment, the value judgment of calligraphy and painting mainly lies in two aspects: one is the identification of authenticity, and the other is the value-added potential. The authenticity of the work is the premise of investment. Unfortunately, it is a disaster to spend a lot of money on fake goods and lose everything. How to get rid of the false and retain the true in the complicated art market? How to improve the ability to distinguish authenticity? It is a topic that every buyer of calligraphy and painting always faces. In this regard, Mr. Han Shenxian, an expert in calligraphy and painting, has a personal experience called "rich eyes".

Han Shenxian, whose real name is Deshou, is the owner of Xiashan Mountain. He lived in Tianjin for a long time. In the 1920s and 1930s, he often traveled between Beijing and Tianjin. His tireless pursuit of Peking Opera was handed down by Chen Yanheng himself. His achievements in Peking Opera performance are comparable to those of Yu Shuyan, and it is said that he has surpassed his friends. His representative works "Three Sons", namely "Changing Dojo", "Chopping Son at Yuanmen" and "Sending Son from Mulberry Garden", were all the rage and enjoyed a high reputation in Tianjin. But as far as his life is concerned, as Mr. Xu Jichuan, a close friend of Han, said: "At that time, Tan was cautiously called a good singer to cover up his talent in calligraphy and painting identification."

Han Shenxian loved calligraphy painting since childhood. He was a tutor and read widely. Poetry, calligraphy, painting and phonology all have their origins. Calligraphy in Jin and Tang dynasties has a beautiful and moist atmosphere; Wu Yun, the four kings of landscape law, has a simple charm; Far from the legacy of Tang Xian, poetry is close to Zhu Tuo's (Zhu Yizun's) style with fresh artistic conception. As a teenager, he dabbled in antique shops. For a long time, he has a unique vision for cultural relics. He often finds treasures from old things and genuine things from "fakes". Taste the joke: "I have a lot of things, so my eyes are rich;" You see less, so your eyes are poor. "

Mr. Han named himself "Lord of Summer Mountain" because of his "Eye of Treasure" and the landscape paintings of Wang Meng in Yuan Dynasty and Wang Shigu in early Qing Dynasty. On one occasion, Han saw the landscape painting "Hidden Map of Summer Mountain" by Wang Meng, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty (numbered Yellow River) in Liulichang, Beiping. This painting is a silk book. According to popular habits, people pay more attention to paper books than silk books. People have different views on this painting, but Mr. Wang decided to buy it as a masterpiece of Wang Meng's painting. Soon, in a friend's office in Tianjin, I saw a hanging picture of Wang Shigu's Hidden Map of Summer Mountain, and I exchanged it with Wen Hengshan's landscape painting. So the title of these two paintings is "Summer Resort" and the name is "Summer Resort Owner". Later, these two paintings were appraised by experts and transferred to the Palace Museum.

Han Shenxian has seen and collected many calligraphy and painting treasures. According to Mr. Xu Jichuan, Xu's younger brother first bought Tianquan Dancing with the White Rabbit from an art dealer, which was painted in an ancient way. Spring water around cypress, the title "Tianquan dances with clay" and the title "Zhenshan" are official scripts, which are the seals of Fu Shan. Some people suspect that it is a false letter, but Han Shenxian is a masterpiece in the original. Unfortunately, this painting was swept away by mobs during the Cultural Revolution, and it has already disappeared. Lao Xu also talked about Han Shenxian's appraisal of calligraphy and painting for others: Xu Jichuan went to Liulichang to look for Song Xue's original six-body thousand-character calligraphy, but he didn't buy it. He happened to see a statue of Chen Laolian imitating the double-hooked bamboo stone of Yuan people in an antique shop. The appearance of this painting is a broken frame in the mainland, and it doesn't even have a shaft. There are only two small characters "Hongshou" on the painting, and there is a small seal under it, which is hidden next to the bamboo root. Xu bought this painting the next day. Some people don't believe it's really Chen Laolian's work. Xu Jichuan took it to Tianjin and asked Han Shenxian to identify it. Han immediately identified it as genuine.

In addition to the above paintings and calligraphy works, Han Shenxian also identified Su Dongpo's Ancient Trees and Strange Stones in the Song Dynasty (No Money), Song Tuo's Poem Monument of Ben Jun Xuan in the Yellow Valley (existing in China National Museum), Ming Xuqingteng's Ink Grape (existing in the Palace Museum) and Song Tuo's Buddhist Sutra (existing in Tianjin Museum). From 65438 to 0927, Han Shen went to Osaka, Japan for the first time to hold a personal collection exhibition, with Mr. Xie as the translator, which caused quite a stir in the society.

Wang Meng (Yuan), a high-profile figure in Xiashan, was identified by Han Shenxian.

In the early 1950s, A Yingte, then director of Tianjin Cultural Bureau, asked Han Shenxian to be in charge of cultural relics appraisal, and worked until 1962 died (at that time, Han was the deputy director of Tianjin Art Museum). 10 Over the years, he has collected a large number of cultural relics for the country, among which Zhang Zeduan's "Jin Ming Chisheng Map" in the Song Dynasty is the most precious. Prior to this, the only work handed down by Zhang Zeduan was The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. I once went to the home of Mr. Zhang Shucheng, a famous cultural relic collector, to collect cultural relics. At the beginning, Mr. Zhang took out three miscellaneous songs of Song people, both true and false. Mr. Han has an eye for pearls, and he immediately recognized the treasures in Song Dynasty paintings such as West Lake Auction, Cup under the Moon and Plum Blossom by Yang Butian. 196 1 Select paintings in Baoguzhai, Beijing. At that time, Fu, Jin Bosheng and Zhang of Bao Guzhai provided Mr. Han with a large number of paintings and calligraphy with mixed authenticity, on the one hand, for business, and on the other hand, for testing Mr. Han's eyesight. Han Shenxian sifted through thousands of paintings and picked out many original works. Among them, the works of Ming Academy painters such as Wan Bangzheng and Wan Bangzhi were also found. These works were not recorded in the history of painting, which filled a gap in the history of art. Some old gentlemen still praised Han Shenxian's vision of identifying famous painters and painters.

"Eyes are rich" is the premise of seeking truth and distinguishing falsehood, which is the common feeling of countless appraisers in their appraisal career. Mr. Han Shenxian's ability to distinguish authenticity is a must. Isn't his "golden eyes" because of his "rich eyes"?

Han immortals identified Sinomenium sinomenium.
