Chapter 256 Treasure
"So you think this is an imitation?" The fourth cousin laughed: "It's like Zhang Daqian imitating Dong Yuan's "Evening Scene on the River Embankment". It's different from the Forbidden City's antique paintings. It looks great. Both, Zhang Daqian added his own touches to the details, and you can tell if they are similar in appearance or not, but many people commented that the artistic achievement of the latter has even surpassed the former. "
"So awesome?" Zhou Zhi was stunned. .
"So if this is an imitation, the calligraphy is so exquisite, the knife skills are so ancient, and the printing materials are so high-end." The fourth cousin said: "Then I can only say..."
"How to say?"
"This is Huang Tingjian's imitation of himself."
"Huh?" Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded: "You mean...this calligraphy is Huang Luzhi's original work?"
"It's not calligraphy. The fourth cousin shook his head: "This is all Huang Tingjian's thing." "
"Huanghuanghuang..." Zhou Zhi was already stuttering in fright: "Did anyone in the Song Dynasty...play Tianhuang?"
"Yes, there are two pieces of Zhang Tongzhi. The seal is Tian Huang’s, something from the Southern Song Dynasty.”
"But Huang Tingjian is from the Northern Song Dynasty..."
"The Southern Song Dynasty is only a few decades later than Huang Tingjian's Northern Song Dynasty." The fourth cousin said: "And the evidence on this seal goes far beyond the exquisite calligraphy. Picky about this."
" Is there any evidence? "
"Look here, the seal is in the shape of a weight. Before the Qin Dynasty, it was called..."
" Zhou Zhi excused himself: "The word "weigh" is used. is the original meaning of the word. ”
"The boy's knowledge has improved, and he can draw parallels." The fourth cousin smiled and said: ""Shuowen Jiezi" has not been read in marked sentences, which set is it?"
"It's the fifth set, Si Biao Uncle, stop talking about this and tell me what evidence you have.”
“What do you know about Huang Tingjian’s name?”
"Huang Tingjian, Huang Luzhi, Huang Shanshangu, and Fu Weng were the highest officials of Jixian School and compiler of national history. They were given the posthumous title Wenjie, so they were often called Huang Taishi and Huang Wenjie in their notes... Ah, there are also , he was born in Hongzhou, Jiujiang, so he is also called Mr. Yuzhang."
"Is there any more?"
"Uh... there are more?"
"There are many more, but what is related to this seal is the style of this seal and the rope pattern carved on the top."
"This is the belt A weight for the rope, right? "
"Yes, Huang Tingjian's nickname is 'rope'," the fourth aunt said with a smile.
Zhou Zhi thought that he was powerful enough to be able to name Huang Tingjian's seven names at once, but he still had to shake his head: "I am still not knowledgeable enough."
"And here, the word Qian'an does not mean what you said."
"Please ask my aunt for advice."
"When Huang Tingjian was the editor of "Shen Zong Shi Lu" , once recorded the words "Using iron dragon claws to control rivers is child's play", the new party emphasized After he came to power, he used this to attack him. Huang Tingjian replied: "Tingjian was an official in Beidu at the time and saw it with his own eyes. It was really a child's play at the time." When asked, he answered truthfully without any scruples. People praised him for his bravery."
"This one. It's a bit ridiculous." Zhou Zhi said: "Someone once suggested to Wang Anshi that as long as the water in Liangshan was drained, eight hundred miles of fertile land could be obtained. Anshi was overjoyed at that time. After thinking about it for a while, he realized the problem and asked, 'How should we arrange the water? ?" Hanlin scholar Liu Xun responded: "Drive another eight hundred miles next to it. "Shui Bo is." An Shi stopped because of his laughter. Its function is to stir up the sediment on the river bottom through rakes and plows, allowing them to be washed downstream..."
"Then it accumulates downstream." Zhou Zhi said angrily: "The result is that the more severe the dredging is in the upper reaches, the more severe the accumulation and blockage will be in the lower reaches. This is a natural principle. I want to write this in the book. The party struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty was just beginning. Fighting for reasons later turned into fighting for opposition "Yes." The fourth aunt said with a smile: "In short, Huang Tingjian was demoted to Fuzhou Biejia and resettled in Qianzhou. From that time on, he had Fu Weng, Fu Hao, Mowei Lao, and so on. The four titles of Qian'an laymen."
" I remember that there is a record in the notes of the Song Dynasty: Tanxiu came to the sea to see Dongpo, and came out with a scroll written in cursive by a layman from Qian'an. Po said: "Zhang Rong said, "If you don't hate the minister, you will not have the law of two kings; if you hate the two kings, there will be no law of the minister." .'I said the same thing in Qian'an. In the future, Qian'an will be the one who loves Xuanqu."
"So...the word "Qian'an" on the seal originally meant this?"
"Yes, those who attacked him later thought he went to a good place and falsely accused him of perverting the law. Later, he moved to Rongzhou to avoid the suspicion of his relatives. ”
"Qianzhou is Pengshui County under Yuzhou today, and Rongzhou is Yizhou City, where Wuliangye is produced. Huang Tingjian wants to go from Qianzhou to Rongzhou, and we must pass through Jiachuan!"
"Also "The fourth cousin opened the seal and said, "This sentence is more morally related." Already knowing how wrong he was: "This sentence definitely does not mean that Brother Pao is loyal."
The fourth cousin smiled and said: "This is an excerpt from a poem by Su Song, "Su Mingyun Zongzongzong". "Two Elegies"
"Talk about the Pingling family, there are people in my clan.
The source of knowledge is clear, and morality and justice are closer to each other.
I regret that my talent is so great that I shed tears all over my face.
I also know Yu Qingyuan, whose second son is interested in economics. "
"I understand, this is Su Song's elegy in memory of Su Xun. Su Song and Su Xun are from the same clan, and both are descendants of Su Weiwei, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. "
"Eh? The fourth cousin was a little surprised: "You know all this?" ”
Zhou Zhi thought to himself that as long as it was related to the Su family, I knew pretty much everything. After all, the novel I wrote had a lot to do with the Su family.
But Huang Tingjian belonged to the periphery of the Su family after all. He was so far behind that Zhou Zhi could only remember seven of his names and famous events.
"I know a little bit." Now the fourth cousin asked, Zhou Zhi replied: "Su Song is also a famous naturalist and scientist. Not to mention Huang Tingjian, he has the biggest reputation among the four bachelors of the Su family. "One of them."
"But is it okay to use a mourning poem as the seal?" Zhou Zhi raised a new question.
“It depends on his situation at the time.” The fourth cousin said: “When Huang Tingjian was demoted, his eldest brother Huang Dalin traveled thousands of miles to see him off in Qianzhou. Huang Tingjian wrote a famous farewell poem for this. The poem "Farewell to Qiannan in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties"
"The following year, Huang Shuda led his family, his sister-in-law, Huang Tingjian's wife Shi, nephew Huang Xiang and other relatives, starting from Wuhu and traveling thousands of miles until they arrived in Qianzhou the following year. When the brothers met, Huang Tingjian wrote the famous The poem "Visiting Kinmen to Tell My Ming Brother" is about the deep love between brothers, which lasts forever. Until I understand: "Knowing where the origin comes from, morality and justice are more closely related."
""Visiting Kinmen: Telling My Mingdi" is written like this:
Mountains and rivers, traveling to Wu Touchu Tail. My brothers are thousands of miles apart, looking at each other as if they were in a dream.
You are like a pair of peaches and plums. Don’t be tired of the cold and smellless life. ”
"With a view of life and death, combined with the mood, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use these five words for the seal?"
"So..." Zhou Zhi was a little afraid to say that inference.
"So this is a cultural treasure, the Tianhuang stone seal of Huang Tingjian in the Northern Song Dynasty."
