Chapter 758 Excellent person
“During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court received a rubbing of the "Ge Tie" which was awarded by Song Taizong to the Hanlin scholar Bi Shi'an. In the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign, this was used as the base, which lasted for three years. In the spring of the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, the one hundred and forty-four panels he copied were embedded in the Old Summer Palace. Among the twenty-four corridors on the wall of Yunzhenzhai in the Changchun Garden, Qianlong was very proud of it and renamed the corridor with this carved stone as 'Chunhua Xuan'."
"Old Summer Palace..." Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded again when he heard this. It can be said that every Chinese knows what the Old Summer Palace looks like now: "Isn't that another Too bad..."
Qi Lao shook his head: "Qianlong's "Chunhua Pavilion Reprint" is folded and bound, with a total of ten volumes in thick ink and sandalwood as the cover. Back cover. Yellow gold-sprinkled pages lead to the beginning and end of the album. "
"There is an imperial inscription dated February 6, the 34th year of Qianlong's reign. The preface and the inscription "Yu Ming Yun Gu" are preceded by the word "Qin Ding". The end of the post is engraved with four lines of seal script: "In the second month of Jichou Spring of the 34th year of Qianlong's reign, he was ordered to correct the Chunhua Pavilion Post of the Song Dynasty." Since "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" was "modeled in accordance with the imperial edict," no one even dared to reprint it without permission."
"Everyone knows what happened next. In 1860, the British and French allied forces burned down the Old Summer Palace. Most of Bi Shi'an's manuscripts were burned together with Qianlong's "Imperially Reprinted Chunhua Pavilion Notes". Since then, there has been no copy of Complete ancestral engravings and legal rubbings still exist "
"Huh?" Zhou Zhi asked: "The one that was lost to Hong Kong Island?"
"In fact, in addition to the Qianlong reproduction, there are There are inscriptions and rubbings from the Ming Dynasty, and there are many copies made by famous artists in the past dynasties.”< br>
"Historically, the calligraphers who have written "Chunhua Pavilion Calligraphy" were all early and famous. For example, Zhao Mengfu, the most famous calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty, "study for six years and achieved the right result." His calligraphy achievements can be regarded as the first in the Yuan Dynasty.”
"Dong Qichang's calligraphy garden in the Ming Dynasty was vigorous and elegant, plain and simple, and pursued ancient methods. Throughout his life, he often wrote "Chunhua Pavilion Notes", which integrated the calligraphy styles of Jin, Tang, Song, and Yuan schools into a self-contained whole , his writing style is elegant, ethereal, and self-sufficient.”
"Looking at the calligraphers of ancient and modern times, it is undoubtedly a rare blessing and a rare event in life to be able to see "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" in person and study it. However, none of the works of these famous calligraphers who studied "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" has survived. "
"In the end, only a few calligraphy masters such as Wang Duo in the early Qing Dynasty had the "Linchun Hua Pavilion Scroll" left , but very short."
"The most complete set of Linxi works that are truly in volume is left by Aixinjueluo Yongxuan, the eleventh son of the Qianlong Dynasty and a famous calligrapher in the Qianlong Dynasty. "Prince Cheng's Entrance to Chunhua Pavilion"
"So this is the one that was lost?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"Yes." Qi Lao said: "Prince Yongxuan, nicknamed Shaochang, is the eleventh son of Emperor Qianlong. He is a famous calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. His biological mother is Jin Jia, the noble concubine of Emperor Shujia, the daughter of the great scholar Fu Heng. , the niece of Qianlong’s original wife Xiaoxian Chun.”
"Historical Records 'Yongxuan Yougong's calligraphy was loved by Emperor Gaozong, and he was always lucky to have his palace.' Yang Han's "Xike Zaozhu" said: "The king had a glimpse of the inner palace's collection, and he was very rich in his collection, so he was well prepared for calligraphy." , mostly from the posts '"
"Xiaoting Miscellaneous Records" written by Prince Li Zhaozhen said: "Yongxuan wrote in Bo Zhen when he was young, and Zhao Wenmin, a young worker, also saw it. Internal prison during the Kangxi period It was said that when his teacher was young, he still saw Dong Wenmin using the pen with his first three fingers hanging on his wrist, so Wang Guang promoted his words and used the lamp-driving technique. His attainments in calligraphy and painting were recognized during his lifetime. Widely sought after, he was listed as one of the "Four Great Masters of Qianlong" along with Weng Fanggang, Liu Yong, and Tie Bao. "
I feel ashamed to say that Zhou Zhi could not recognize any of the calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty except the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.
He has also collected several calligraphy works from the Qing Dynasty, but they are all ministers in TV dramas and novels. He is not interested in other people's calligraphy, but because of their reputation. Qi Lao also guessed that Zhou Zhi didn't know, and Minister Hu was an outsider, so he introduced it in great detail: "As a prince of the royal family, Prince Cheng admires literature and ink, and is good at calligraphy. He once wrote the stele of Yuling Sheng's magical achievements and the "Shaking Stirrup" "Method", on the method of writing calligraphy by hanging the wrist."
"Because the Empress Dowager gave Lu Ji "Pingfu Tie", the library was named 'Yi Jin Zhai', and there were also 'Kanyun Pavilion', 'Tingyu House' and other storage pavilions, mostly in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Old engraved secret books, the calligraphy and painting of the Song and Yuan Dynasties were the best at that time. ”
"The "Linchunhua Pavilion Tie" written by Prince Cheng Yongxuan has a total of ten volumes, which is the only copy of the "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" that exists today. The seal on it is 'Emperor's Eleventh Son', 'Yi Jin Zhai' 'Waiting, the inscription is 'June 7, the fifty-second year of Qianlong's reign, on the third day of the lunar month The Song dynasty version of Shandian Dongcun was written by the eleventh son of the emperor. When I came to this version, Fang learned the style of Songxue Ji. The style of the pavilion posters was based on Zhao's method. I followed the style of Huating's style when I encountered it. May."
Zhou Zhi suddenly admired: "Old man. I even remember the name of the Dharma sticker, which is amazing!”
Qi Lao shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Because I searched for this Dharma sticker in many ways, and finally found that it was lost overseas, and I have been paying attention to it for twelve years!”
"Ah?!"
"This Dharma calligraphy is from the same period as Prince Cheng's "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra" which was previously collected in the Capital Cultural Relics Store, and the seals are exactly the same. The calligraphy is elegant and well-structured. It is sparse, elegant in style, profound and elegant."
"The bell seal is only signed by the eleventh son of the emperor. , not Prince Cheng. This is because Yongxuan was just seventeen years old when the Chunhua Pavilion was re-engraved in the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign. It was inscribed in the thirty-seventh year, and Yongxuan was only twenty years old at that time. The time of the pavilion was the fifty-second year of Qianlong, that is, he was thirty-five years old."
"He was not named Prince Cheng until the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong. The previous calligraphy works all had the bell seal "Emperor's Eleventh Son", and then combined with the fact that "the king had a glimpse of the inner palace's collection, and his own collection was very rich, so the calligraphy was like this. Most of them were based on the calligraphy, and they did not delve into the ancient inscriptions." 's historical records, as well as the signature of his "Lin Chun Hua Ge Tie", we can infer that the "Chun Hua Ge Tie" he wrote should be written by Kangxi The one obtained was Bi Shi'an's "Early Expansion and Gift Edition" of the Northern Song Dynasty, not Qianlong's "Chunhua Pavilion Notes". "Linchun Hua Ge Tie" is the closest rare book to "Chun Hua Ge Tie", and it is also the only copy of the entire collection! ”
"Exactly!"
"So now this unique copy is in the hands of who...Li Qiyan, whom Minister Hu mentioned?"
"Yes, and in addition to ten of them, he has A complete volume of Prince Cheng's "Linchun Hua Ge Tie" and four volumes of Bi Shi'an's "Linchun Hua Ge Tie" "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" Ancestor Engraved Edition! "
"Why is this man so powerful?" Zhou Zhi felt that it was a great adventure for him to get so many famous paintings and calligraphy from the Song and Five Dynasties in that Tibetan suitcase. Looking at other people who are great collectors, it seems like they are nothing.
"Construction starts at home, and strict regulations are implemented overseas." Mr. Wang smiled and said: "Qunyuzhai, a solid and pure residence, both are equally famous. Have you never heard of elbows?"
"It's me who is ignorant." Zhou Zhi could only smile.
