Chapter 757 Law Post
Soon, Minister Hu took Zhou Zhi back to another small courtyard next to the Forbidden City. There was still no sign at the door, but Zhou Zhi had been here before and knew that this was the National Museum of Porcelain Appraisal and Restoration. center.
"Elbow?!" In the office, Mr. Qi and Mr. Wang were studying two hanging screens with magnifying glasses. Zhou Zhi recognized them at a glance. They were the pair in the old man's living room in the morning.
“Come and take a look, Chenghua Colorful Gourd Vase.” Mr. Wang waved to Zhou Zhi: “It just came from Xihua Hall. This thing is rarer than the Tianzi jar!”
Chenghua Wucai is the ancestor of Chinese colored porcelain hard pieces, which are basically small cups and jars.
The most famous small cups are the Chicken Jar Cup and the Sanqiu Cup. The small cup is often called the "Tian Zi Can" because the bottom of it often has the word "天" written on it.
I’m really surprised that you haven’t noticed it after hanging in the West Flower Hall for so long? ! Zhou Zhi cursed secretly in his heart.
But he said: "Really? That must be a national treasure!"
Qi Lao said cheerfully: "It's really dark under the lamp, over there is the hanging screen It has been hanging for decades. The appraisal work at that time was not done carefully and they were regarded as all belonging to Qianlong. I didn’t expect that the colorful gourd underneath was actually from Chenghua Guanyao.”
“The main reason was that the staff was deceived by the words ‘Sanxitang Jingjian’ on the bottom of the bottle. It's something from the later years of Qianlong's reign, but I didn't know it was carved later," Zhou Zhi said.
Qianlong was a stamping maniac. In addition to stamping various ancient calligraphy and paintings, he also liked to polish the seals of various dynasties and carve his own words, and he also liked to carve words on his favorite porcelain.
In fact, I admire the thoughtful craftsmanship of carving porcelain, but carving my own crooked poems under the sky blue porcelain narcissus basin of Ru Kiln in the Song Dynasty is too much.
"Eh? How do you know that the elbow is engraved with the Sanxi Hall inscription?"
Minister Hu smiled and said: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Wang, this special place for hanging the screen is Zhou Zhi Found it."
"What! How could he get there?" Wang Shixiang couldn't help but be surprised.
"I'm not kidding you." Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded by Minister Hu's dirty trick: "The main reason is that I don't know whether it should be considered a confidential matter or not..."
"The situation is indeed a bit special. "We won't go into details about the specific process," Minister Hu said. "Let's talk about the problems we are facing now."
"Let's sit down and talk." Son, it’s not too late to watch the pictures again.”
So everyone sat down, and Minister Hu explained the matter in general, and then said: "The current organizational decision is to let Zhou Zhi join this Unicode organization as an individual."
Of course Qi Lao and Wang Lao understood the weight of Zhou Zhi's suggestion and were very surprised by his actions, but they were a little confused: "We two bad old men, I'm afraid we can't help with this matter? So you guys came here today... …”
Minister Hu asked: "There is a calligraphy work that we have lost abroad, called "Chunhua Pavilion Tie". Mr. Qi, are you clear about it?"
Qi Gong's long white eyebrows twitched: "But ...Prince Cheng's "Linchun Hua Pavilion Post"? "
"Exactly, there are four more copies of the Song Dynasty edition that should be posted." Minister Hu nodded.
"I know this very well!" Mr. Qi became a little excited: "Did you receive the news that Li Qiyan is going to post something?"
"Uh... there seems to be some rumors." Minister Hu Said: "But what we are more concerned about is Mr. Li's eldest son Li Leshan, who is a professor of information engineering at Yale University. He is a member of the Unicode Alliance and can be a thoughtful recommender."
"Is there a rumor? Then we must follow closely!" Qi Lao was a little anxious: "Speaking of this "Chunhua Pavilion Tie", it is a treasure in the field of calligraphy in our country."
"Qi Lao, please give us Let me tell you, my family is mainly about stele studies." Zhou Zhi quickly picked up Qi Lao's old records.
Qi Lao said: "As we all know, the peak in the history of Chinese calligraphy is undoubtedly the calligraphy of the Jin people." "However, the calligraphy of the Jin people, and even the calligraphy of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, had very few surviving ink marks in the Song Dynasty. , rarely seen by the world "
" Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi inherited Taizu Yanwu's intention to cultivate literature. During the Chunhua period, he built a special bookcase to collect various calligraphy and ink inscriptions, and history. Called 'Chunhua Pavilion'."
"In the third year of Chunhua, Emperor Taizong ordered the scholar Wang to compile the order of the catalogue, mark the order of the catalogue, and copy and engrave the manuscripts on jujube woodblocks, which contained ten volumes in total. There are one hundred and three Dharma scripts and four hundred and twenty Dharma scripts. This is the first Dharma script in history, "Chunhua Pavilion Tie". , its first The second, third, and fourth volumes are written by famous officials from past dynasties, the fifth volume is written by ancient scholars, the sixth, seventh, and eighth volumes are written by Wang Xizhi, and the ninth and tenth volumes are written by Wang Xian.”
"This is the earliest collection of calligraphy ink from various calligraphers in the history of our country. It covers all the masterpieces of calligraphers before the Song Dynasty. In addition to introducing the calligraphy of the 'two kings', it also introduces the calligraphy of Wei Zhongyao and Jin famous calligraphers. After some exploration and comparison. "
"In addition, it is more convenient than the monumental Tuolin and can accommodate more different forms of calligraphy. Influenced by the times, the regular script in Tie Zhong. There are very few components, mostly "manuscripts", which are realistic and full of spirit. The title of the volume uses the word "Fa Tie", so it is called the originator of Fa Tie."
"The emergence of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" has led to the millennium-long tradition of engraving and imitating Tie in China, and formed the 'Tie Xue' that competes with the 'Steleology' in the calligraphy world. It has spread the style of our calligraphy , especially in the development of running script in the Song Dynasty, it has indeed played a great role in promoting the development of calligraphy in the Song Dynasty. It has always been praised as the "crown of calligraphy" among all schools and has a great influence on later generations of calligraphy."
Zhou Zhi's calligraphy was practiced with his fourth cousin, who was a great expert in Wei stele and European style, so naturally he was a "steleologist", and even Zhou Zhi didn't do much research on calligraphy.
Ke Qi Lao was born as a bannerman, and naturally he went to the palace. He himself is a big collector of dharma stickers. Of course, he is very aware of China's famous dharma stickers.
After listening to Qi Lao's introduction, Zhou Zhi also sighed: "Although it has flowed out of the country, it has still been passed down for so many years. This is a blessing among misfortunes."
"Huh? Qi Lao smiled and said: "You are also a calligrapher, Zhuzi. If you want to In Linhuang Valley, there is no way to escape from the postgraduate studies. It seems that there is no progress in this year?"
"Qi Lao, please spare me." Zhou Zhi quickly handed over. I’m almost exhausted from writing the questions, so where can I find the time to brush the brush?”
"That's right, my dear, you took the college entrance examination this year!" Only then did Mr. Wang remember that this kid graduated from high school this year: "How did he do in the exam?" There are still twenty-five extra points." Minister Hu said, "Let's go back to the copybook."
"Do you know what my score is?" Zhou Zhi was shocked: "You're not trying to make me happy, are you?"
"The results just came out, and the Shudu Education Committee called me this morning. Five hundred and twelve."
> Zhou Zhi couldn't help but roll his eyes. He suddenly understood that this was simply Minister Hu's good intentions, and it was probably done by someone else while the organization was investigating him.
"You did well in the exam." Qi Lao praised him and then threw it away: "Let's go back to "Chunhua Pavilion Notes"..."
Zhou Zhi was stupid again. He was the top scholar in liberal arts in the province, so he congratulated him. Don’t even deserve it?
But this sentence cannot be said here. They are all PhD supervisors. How dare you talk about the college entrance examination?
I had no choice but to continue listening to the doctoral tutor’s lectures.
“What I just said is a bit unskilled. In fact, the original version of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" was unfortunately completely destroyed due to an accidental fire in the palace during the Qingli period of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty."< br>
"Hi!" Zhou Zhi slapped his thigh: "You should have thought of it! The fire caused by the palace maid burned two-thirds of the Song Dynasty's treasury! The fire burned for half a month, and almost all the inner palace was destroyed!"
< br>"Exactly, so very few people in the Song Dynasty have seen the original version of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie"." Qi Lao said: "But fortunately, Song Taizong also made some copies using the double hook method based on the original. As a reward to all my ministers, this version The "Chunhua Pavilion Notes" is called the 'ancestral edition'. "
"The ancestral edition is an early official rubbing edition. The number was originally very limited. At that time, there were only high-ranking officials in the Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council. , can we get A copy of the official rubbings was given to him by the officials. "
"So, the early official rubbings of "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" were also very precious and were valued by the world at that time. "
