Chapter 489 The heart to show off
“These things are stored in several warehouses, most of which are in Maoqin Hall. The "Yangjizhai Conglu" written by Wu Zhenfeng of the Qing Dynasty records: "The four things for the emperor's study room are divided by each Submit for future reference All the pieces are given to the Maoqin Palace Treasury. '"
"In addition, there are Ningshou Palace, Chunhuaxuan Palace, and Rehe Palace."
"Only paper is used. In other words, there are all kinds of things, from merit to It can be divided into categories. In addition to silk fabrics such as white silk paper, paper can be roughly divided into paper for imperial calligraphy and painting, paper for writing scriptures, paper for books, paper for mounting, paper for engineering, paper for drawings, paper for packaging, and paper for daily use. Paper and many more . ”
“A large number of used paper, including Dabang paper, Korean paper, oiled Korean paper, cotton Bang paper, Liansi paper, original paper, submission paper, oil submission paper, Western paper, Taiwanese paper, etc. .”
"Exquisite and detailed, including various colored pink wax paper, gold-sprinkled paper, Roman paper, rice paper, etc."
"The next level includes gold, cloud, and dragon vermilion silk paper with blessing characters, and Yunlong vermilion paper with large and small pairs. ,twelve Dragon Yellow Paper, Dulong Daxiang Paper and other imperial papers are used for edicts."
Zhou Zhi put his head on his head: "Isn't this too complicated?"
"It's complicated, but this is also a place. big Shortcut." The fourth cousin said: "As long as you understand these, no one, not even Zhang Daqian Qi Baishi, can try to trick you with modern imitations."
"That makes sense... "Zhou Zhi nodded. After all, masters also pay attention to costs when doing things. For an antique painting, even if the painting skills are perfect, it is impossible to collect all the precious papers from the center of the painting to the supporting paper to the mounting.
However, I feel that there is a big flaw in what my fourth cousin said: "It would be a good thing if I could really receive an antique work by Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi..."
This is deliberately confusing cultural and academic value with economic value. , the fourth cousin could not help but stare. : "Keep listening, it's not over yet."
"Isn't it over yet?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be surprised: "Golden Yunlong and vermilion lucky silk paper, this is what the emperor used to write the word "Fu" to his ministers during the New Year, right? ? And what about the Twelve Dragons Yellow Paper and the Dulong Daxiang Paper? , it sounds amazing at first glance. Isn’t this top-notch?”
“Of course it’s not top-notch, you should know that?” The fourth aunt said with a smile: “A little reminder, how many poems did Qianlong write in his life? ?"
"Hi!" Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "I understand. Qianlong has always regarded himself as a cultural man and was very obsessed with art, calligraphy and painting. Therefore, the most precious paper in the imperial palace must be antique calligraphy and painting paper like Chengxintang paper! Fourth aunt, I Is your guess correct? ”
"Exactly!" the fourth aunt said with a smile: "So the most precious paper in the imperial palace is all kinds of antique paper. And because the Qianlong Dynasty was the most powerful, the highest level of papermaking in the Qing Dynasty was Qianlong antique paper."
< br>“The most precious items here are the imitation Jin side There are paper products handed down from ancient times, such as imitation Song Dynasty Jinsushan Buddhist scripture paper, spotted Buddhist scripture paper, non-spotted Buddhist scripture paper, imitation Chengxintang paper, imitation Mingrenden paper, imitation plum blossom jade plate paper, imitation Goryeo paper, etc. "
"For example, the famous Sanxitang Dharma Tie "Quick Snow and Shiqing Tie", When Qianlong reinstalled the book, he personally wrote the four words "Shen Hu Ji Ye" in regular script on paper imitating the Song Dynasty Jin Su Shan Sutra." The paper used is average, but the paper used for the cover is very precious. Come to think of it, this is The result of Guoshan's two junior brothers working in Beijing. "It's possible that the Queen Mother of the West used this cover paper to replace half of the Luan Jia." Zhou Zhi didn't have a good impression of the Queen Mother. She can do anything without a bottom line.
"Faxi Temple and Jinsu Temple are both located in Haiyan County, and are only five miles apart from Jinsu Temple. During the Xining period of the Song Dynasty, both temples used a kind of paper to write and copy the Tripitaka."
" In addition to being used for writing scriptures, there are also a large number of blank papers hidden in the temple. In the center of each piece of paper, there is a small seal of "Jinsu Mountain Sutra Collection Paper". "This kind of paper belongs to the Tang Dynasty. The continuation of paper presents Yellow or light yellow, wax is applied to the surface and then polished, so the curtain lines are not visible and the surface is smooth. "
"Each piece is made finely and is relatively thick, so it can be divided. The layers were opened into three or four pieces. "
"In the Ming Dynasty, after these papers came out of the temple, they were valued by the world and were often used as calligraphy and painting guides."
"After Zhang Yanchang published "Jinsu Mountain Notes" in the Ming Dynasty, Jinsu Mountain Paper became famous and was paid tribute to the imperial government."
"The largest private collector in the Ming Dynasty was the famous calligrapher and painter Dong Qichang."< br>
“He is very proud of his collection. Many of his calligraphy and painting works deliberately retain the small seal, and the intention of showing off is clearly visible on the paper.”
Zhou I couldn't help but laugh: "It's hard for great calligraphers and painters to avoid vulgarity. This is because they are afraid that laymen will not know the goods..."
"It was even more funny in the Qing Dynasty." The fourth aunt laughed and said: "When Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he always In order to save money, we also collected a lot of gold millet paper collected by the people and used it. The "Heart Sutra" written by Emperor Qianlong on the uncovered gold millet paper is now in the Forbidden City." >
"Hahaha..." Zhou Zhi couldn't stop laughing: "The emperor is not allowed to use it freely, it is really precious..."
"The funniest thing is not here." The fourth aunt laughed: "Qianlong I loved this paper so much that I ordered it to be copied.”
“Because Jinsu Mountain paper used cork sap as a moth-proofing method at that time, and cork is highly water-soluble. When the paper was collected in Jinsu Temple, rain leakage caused the dissolution of cork. Natural water spots formed on the paper ”
Zhou Zhi was extremely happy: "Emperor Qianlong is indeed a stamping maniac, but he is. This seal is too pretty hahahaha..."
"Maybe he is happy about the success of imitating this kind of paper. Qianlong's seal does not have the mentality of an emperor, but it is the same as Dong Qichang's behavior. It is almost a literati's desire to show off." The fourth aunt said with a smile
"Not all of them were successful." The fourth cousin nodded. The cover of the Dragon Tibetan Sutra: "Those without seals should be regarded as imitations of the Sutra Tibetan Papers of Faxi Temple. This is the first grade of Jinsu Temple."
"So the Queen Mother of the West cannot say that it is. Stingy, right?" said the fourth aunt: "At least I was rewarded with the precious Qianlong imperial paper. Zhang, come to the cover of Fawang Temple's "Dragon Tibetan Sutra". "
"Half a piece of red yarn and one foot of silk," the fourth cousin and Zhou Zhi had a deep understanding of the shamelessness of the ruler, and thought of this poem at the same time. He recited: "Tie it to the bull's head and fill it with charcoal."
"This is more likely." Zhou Zhi also added: "In troubled times, even collections are not valuable, let alone these stocks of paper? Therefore, the possibility of using it as a reward to prevaricate the monks is far greater than knowing its value and taking it seriously. Granted, the possibility is greater.”
