Chapter 1776 They are all famous people
The mutton used in Donglaishun is selected from Inner Mongolia. It only uses five parts of meat: upper brain, small Sancha, Dasancha, grinding crotch, and cucumber strips. The mutton made is red and white. The meat is tender, bright in color, neat in shape and even in thickness.
As thin as paper and shaped like a handkerchief. Put it in the pot and it will be cooked as soon as you rinse it. It will not get old after being rinsed for a long time. It tastes soft, neither tangy nor greasy, and tastes delicious.
The master chefs here are very good at cutting meat, and their knives are also special long knives. The slices of meat cut out are uniform in thickness and arranged neatly, shaped like a handkerchief.
Not only is the mutton-shabu-shabu available here, but there are also several dishes that are worthy of praise, such as minced chicken with white fungus, offal in white soup, and fried tripe.
"In the early years, Dong Laishun set up a stall selling mutton mixed noodles and buckwheat noodle cakes in the Dong'an market, and later added cakes and porridge." Mr. Wang introduced while giving everyone chopsticks.
"Later, a fire destroyed the Dong'an market. During the reconstruction, Ding Deshan built three tile-roofed houses here and changed the signboard. From then on, Dong Laishun started to operate the shabu-shabu business."
< br>“At that time, the best restaurant for mutton-shabu-shabu was Zhengyanglou.” Mr. Qi said: “I don’t know when Donglaishun started to catch up.”
“Probably in the 20s. "I remember." The bald, fat old man recalled: "The Zhengyang Restaurant later came to our Harbin, and was known as the 'Kyoto Zhengyang Restaurant'. It sold braised pork, and the braised sausages and pine nut tripe were the best at our place."< br>
“By the way, I haven’t introduced you yet.” Mr. Qi said with a smile: “This grandpa is called Chen Shizhong. He is the director of the Shenyang Palace Museum and an expert in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting in the Qing Dynasty.”
"This bearded grandfather is called Zhou Zhanlin. He is a senior researcher at the Nanjing Museum and an expert on the literature and history of the Six Dynasties. He was the first person to suggest that the brick paintings of the Southern Qi Dynasty were made by famous masters of the Six Dynasties. You should have read his paper, right?"
< br>"I have admired you for a long time." Zhou Zhi quickly saluted: "Master Zhou I have read your thesis, and I have a deep understanding of the history of painting in the Six Dynasties. I am no stranger to Grandpa Chen, and I have often read his treatises.”
“Oh? Have you read my treatises? One copy?" Zhou Zhanlin didn't believe it, thinking that Zhou Zhi was just being polite.
"Grandpa Zhou's "Xiqing Ancient Appraisal Collection" and "Xiqing Xingjian Xielu"," Zhou Zhi said: "To understand the bronzes collected by the palace, these are two books that cannot be avoided."
"Hey! I really know!" Zhou Zhanlin pointed at Zhou Zhi and said to Mr. Qi and Mr. Wang: "Which of you is the disciple of Elbow? Not bad!"
"Xiqing Gujian" is a large-scale record of ancient bronzes collected by the Qing Dynasty court. It has forty volumes, and it also has an appendix of sixteen volumes of "Qian Lu". It contains more than 1,500 pieces of bronze wares from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Tang dynasty, mostly Yi wares from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was compiled by Liang Shizheng, a famous calligrapher in the Qianlong Dynasty and a connoisseur of royal cultural relics.
This book is very unique. Each vessel has a picture, and the pictures are followed by regular script descriptions. The drawings are all made by masters of the inner palace, and the drawings are meticulous and accurate. The circumference, height, breadth, and weight of the artifacts are recorded in detail, and the inscriptions on the ancient artifacts are all copied and annotated.
There is still a lot of textual research in mathematics and physics. Although it incorporates the theories of Ouyang Xiu and other schools, it is beyond the reach of all other schools. The book also refutes the fallacies of stalwarts of past dynasties, explains difficulties, and supplements omissions, making the ancient artifacts from three generations as they are now. This kind of book is like the ancient "high-definition pictorial". It requires drawing and engraving, and the cost is extremely high. Of course, its importance is self-evident. It is a pity that the turmoil of the following two hundred years has made these two books scarce in the world.
Zhou Zhanlin spent a lot of energy collecting and organizing the information and made detailed "reading notes". He is considered an outstanding contributor to the organization and discussion of the two ancient books. This is also The reason why his two works are called "Xi Lu".
Although "Xi Lu" was written by Zhou Zhanlin in his early years, it is still recognized as the best material for studying the bronzes collected by the Forbidden City in both places, so it is very famous in the industry.
However, because both books need to be read in conjunction with ancient books, and both ancient books are atlases, even in modern times, the cost of printing and production is still high. Therefore, except for real professional institutions, there will be purchasers. On the outside, most people have neither the interest nor the ability to spend such money, spending 300 yuan to purchase "Ancient Mirror of the Western Qing Dynasty" and "Continued Mirror of the Western Qing Dynasty".
Old man Qi did not tell Zhou Zhanlin whose disciple Zhou Zhi was. He only said: "My little friend and you, Lao Zhou, are from the same family. If there is a need to take care of the place in the future, you should understand, huh?"
" The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead." Zhou Zhanlin shook his head repeatedly: "We have seen through photos what the paintings looked like before, let alone what they look like now. Lao Chen and I are the only ones who have two, right?"
"On the contrary, there are still a few old guys in Rongbaozhai," Chen Shizhong said. : "Lao Zhou, you are so down-to-earth, I don't know that Qi Lao is just showing off. Elbow stem repair is not just a simple repair, the research and development of repair materials is the most commendable."
"Oh? Really? My major is in bronze, and I don't know much about the restoration of calligraphy and painting."
"You don't know, do you?" Chen Shizhong said with a smile: "You know what we are encountering when restoring ancient calligraphy and painting. What’s the biggest embarrassment?”
< br>"I heard this mentioned by several people who manage the calligraphy and painting department, that is, the restoration materials are getting less and less." Zhou Zhanlin said: "The materials used to restore ancient paintings should preferably be the same as the materials of the ancient paintings themselves, which is troublesome. No wonder calligraphy and painting cultural relics have always been cultural relics The cost of protecting the ceiling is also on the one hand."
"Actually, there are several aspects, including lack of funds, lack of support, and lack of research," Mr. Qi said. "The other is the lack of professional talents. "
" "Everything depends on money. Everything we do now focuses on economic benefits," Mr. Yuan said: "The market for making antique paper and antique Sujuan is too small, the cost is too high, and the process is too complicated. It's a loss while still making a profit." No shouting business.”
The old people couldn't stop pouring out their bitterness when talking about this, and then they started to recall the hard years.
Zhou Zhi can very well understand the urgency and helplessness of today's cultural preservation workers, as well as the deep sense of powerlessness. Think about it, the country sells a large amount of copperware and In the Qing Dynasty, porcelain was exchanged for urgently needed foreign exchange. Such days have only passed a few years, and until now, there has been no clear announcement to stop this.
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to console him: "Now the country is paying more and more attention to this aspect. It can be seen from the enthusiasm of the audience in every exhibition now that the people's growing needs for spiritual life are not as important as material ones." There are fewer needs in life..."
