Chapter 503 Is he also reborn?

“And this.” Zhou Zhi took out a stick of hay from the scriptures: “When we opened the box, we found that the scriptures were covered with hay like this. According to the monks from Fawang Temple, , which was transplanted to the temple from central Yunnan a hundred years ago Inside, it’s called spiritual herb.”

Teacher Yuan took the scripture and studied it from the cover, title page, page by page: “Everything matches up. Every volume of this Tripitaka is better than the present one. Some Tripitakas have extra title pages with long-lived engravings for printing. The paper is Hebei Lianzhi. Although it is high-quality, it is also an ordinary printing paper from the Tongguang period. But this cover..."

"According to the appraisal of my fourth cousin and fourth aunt, they believe that this set of Tripitaka is made of The cover paper is from the Qianlong Dynasty, imitated below The Jinsu Temple Tibetan Sutra Paper is a first-class imitation of the Faxi Temple Tibetan Sutra Paper.”

“Did they tell you what the difference is?” Teacher Yuan carefully studied the cover of the Tripitaka: “This set of books. Are they all as good as these three volumes? ”

"There are one hundred and eight bamboo boxes hidden in the Bodhisattva Cave. We didn't dare to open more, so we just opened one box. At least in the box we opened, the quality of the scriptures was the same."

" My fourth cousin said that the covers of these scriptures looked like imitations of the scriptures stored in Jinsu Temple. General, but if you look closely, you can vaguely see the curtain pattern on the cover of a book, right here."

"This is caused by the paper not being fine enough during the calendering process, imitating the Jinsu Temple Collection. The scripture papers are all carefully selected before printing. It is impossible. In this case, although the paper is extremely exquisite, it is still only the first grade of gold millet, so it is inferred that it is Faxiji paper."

"There is also the proportion of cotton in the paper. The failure rate of early imitations of Jinsu Temple Tibetan Buddhist scriptures was too high, so later The amount of cotton fiber used was increased in the early period. ”

“Although the output was larger, the product differences still existed. The papermakers were reluctant to destroy a large amount of inferior paper, so they came up with the idea of ​​'Faxiji Paper'. ”

"The amount of cotton used in the cover of the Fawang Temple Tripitaka is equivalent to that of the later imitation Jinsu Temple Tibetan Sutra paper, but the quality is slightly inferior, so it should be an imitation of the Faxi Temple paper."

"That's true." Teacher Yuan He took out a 60x magnifying glass from his bag and compared it with Zhi Zhi's explanation step by step under the light: "No wonder I am proficient in these things at a young age. I am extremely smart at this time."

“My fourth cousin studied at Jinling Normal University before the liberation. He studied with the descendants of Ye Yufu, a master of Yangbang framing, and learned the familiar paper techniques of the Tang Dynasty, and was able to restore calligraphy and paintings with ancient methods.”

“ Yangbang? Does your fourth cousin know the 'Double Line of Ink Border' method of mounting? ”

"Exactly!" Teacher Yuan grabbed Zhou Zhi's hand: "If you can name the Wu Si Jie Painting, you know that you are an expert in this art!"

"I just heard my fourth cousin say... ..." Zhou Zhi said: "I heard that this method should be used An inch of Yuchi white silk is used as the hanging belt on both sides of the painting's heart, and two black silk silk borders are added on both sides of the hanging belt, so it is called 'Wu Si Boundary Painting'."

"This is the so-called 'Xuanhe'. Mounting method', the fourth cousin said that the two jade pond white silks, in fact It was reserved by the Xuanhe Imperial Household for records and inscriptions, just like the 'Huang Ling Jin Road'."

"However, because the Song Dynasty paintings are so old, they must be kept as old as they used to be. It is far more difficult to distress modern fabrics than Huangling Golden Road is much bigger."

"My fourth cousin said that when he was young, he saw his master mounting "Qingjiang Qiuyuan Picture" from the Song Dynasty. He boiled the old silk with ink repeatedly and then framed it. Old paintings are almost as real as they come. ”

"Does my fourth cousin know this technique?"

"This..." Zhou Zhi thought about the ancient paintings that his fourth cousin had framed and restored recently. It seemed that there was nothing that would be difficult for him to get. After several supplements on silk, I couldn’t even check the longitude and weft of the silk threads. If there is a flaw, it should not be a big problem: "It's probably OK. I can ask, doesn't their Yang Gang claim to be 'a pool of antique clothing that can cure all diseases'?"

"Hahahaha... "Teacher Yuan said with a smile: "You also know this saying? Are you still not convinced when you look like this?"

After speaking, he clicked on the cover of the "Longzang Sutra" and said, "Can you give me a thumbs-up to this old man who can make such an accurate judgment on the cover of the Jiachuan edition of the Qianlong Collection? We introduced him and asked him to come to our restoration center for guidance. Work..." "I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome..." Zhou Zhi said: "The main reason is that my fourth aunt has difficulty moving, and my fourth cousin has to take care of her. They live in seclusion in Jiachuan, and it is really inconvenient to come to Shu."< br>

"You can help us ask first. If possible, we can also visit him." Teacher Yuan said: "The restoration of all the "Spring Mountain Yin Oh Picture" scrolls by Wang Meng of the Yuan Dynasty, and the mounting method must have come from the Southern Song Dynasty. This is a huge obstacle to the mounting of ancient paintings and calligraphy in our school.”

“Does our school also have a large collection of paintings and calligraphy?”

“Hehehe...” Mr. Yuan. The teacher smiled and said: "The collection of calligraphy and painting in our school dates back to the Yuan Dynasty. Huang Gongwang and Wang Meng from the four families of the Yuan Dynasty, Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming from the four families of the Ming Dynasty, three of the four monks of the Qing Dynasty, all the four kings, and the Yangzhou School of Painting Eight, including modern Wu Changshuo, Zhang Daqian, and Xu Beihong, there are 179 pieces in the collection that can be called national treasures. "

"Is there any porcelain?" Zhou Zhi felt itchy in his heart.

"I don't know much about porcelain." Teacher Yuan turned to Gu Youwen and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you know about it?"

"I'm not too sure. I just remember that there are more than 80,000 cultural relics in our school, and porcelain exists from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty."

"This...this...Master, see if you can... ..." Zhou Zhi began to make up his mind.

"There is no rush at this moment." Gu Youwen asked Teacher Yuan again: "Xiao Yuan, I remember that the child went abroad for a visit, right?"

"The University of Pittsburgh in the United States gave him The appointment letter of professor has been issued. I heard that the procedure is only a matter of a month or two."

"Teacher Yuan, Master Zuzu, who are you talking about?"

"We are talking about Tong Enzheng, oh, you may not know the name. You must have seen the movie "Death Light on Coral Island", which was adapted from his novel."

"It turns out to be him! ”

“Do you know him?”
“I don’t know Mr. Tong, but everyone knows about “Death Light on Coral Island”!”

This is China’s first science fiction film, adapted from the novel of the same name, and later novels It has become the pioneer work of China's literature-heavy science fiction genre.

"Well, many people think that Xiaotong is a writer, but they don't know that he is a professor of archeology at Sichuan University. He has conducted in-depth research on the civilization archeology of many ethnic groups in the Three Gorges Civilization Corridor, the Minjiang Civilization Corridor, central Yunnan, Ganzi, and Tibet. " Mr. Gu said.

"Since 1981, he has been a visiting scholar at the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University in the United States, a visiting professor at the Museum of Anthropology at the University of Michigan, and also gave a lecture on "Guanghan Artifact Pit in Sichuan" at the University of Pittsburgh. He started teaching "Cultural Anthropology" in five universities in the United States during the millennium. " Teacher Yuan added. Said: "Now he is a corresponding academician of the German Archaeological Institute, a visiting professor at the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, the University of Washington, and the University of Pittsburgh, a visiting professor at the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Pittsburgh, and the director of our Sichuan University Museum."
< br>"I heard that I am still writing novels recently? What awards did I win?" Mr. Gu asked.

“Yes, while he was doing his full-time job, he did not stop literary creation. The novel "Behind the Lead Curtain of Time" published in "Science and Literature" won the second Galaxy Science Fiction Award. "Teacher Yuan nodded.

"He...is he also reborn?" Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded.
