"So a new question comes." Zhou Zhi frowned and said: "Although "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture" is drawn according to the costumes of characters in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Sengyao was from Wuzhong, Wu County. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Liang Dynasty minister, Liang Tianjianzhong, was the Wuling Kingdom He was the Minister of Painting in Zhimi Pavilion, and later served as General of the Right Army and Governor of Wuxing."
"This is a pure southerner. Did he have the opportunity to come into contact with the arm guard? Is it reasonable that he painted the arm guard on the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"
"You can find out if you look up the information. "Dean Jiang said: "Let's first discuss the possibility that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wore the Western Region Armor."
"This. It's really possible." Zhou Zhi said: "Historical records indicate that in order to leave a 'good impression' on Emperor Wu during their first meeting, Jiang Chong specifically requested to wear ordinary clothes to the audience. So when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Jiang Chong, Jiang Chong dressed up. He is like a coquettish rooster, 'wearing a gauze Zen robe, with a curved train that hangs down at the back, a crown with a Zen bow and a bow, and a flying tassel' , Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was immediately fascinated."
"Hahahaha..." Master Yang was a woman with a male appearance, and his laughter was as loud and deep as a man's, which made Zhou Zhi unable to hold back his laughter. , a smile echoed throughout the room: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Hahahaha, I can't help it..."
"I'm not making this up!" Zhou Zhi quickly tapped on the keyboard with his fingers: "Look! The original text is here! This fully illustrates Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's love for fancy clothes."
"Yes. Yes, the temporary official position of Embroidered Clothes Envoy was also established during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”
Dean Jiang waved his hand: "Speaking of which, there were quite a lot of people from the Western Regions that we could come into contact with during Emperor Wu's time. Among the famous ministers was Jin Rixi, Prince of the Huns, who later became the Minister of Tuogu, and there were also a large number of 'vassal Huqi'. Huo Qubing's "unconventional people" included the Xiongnu, Loufan and Yiqu people. ”
"In addition, a batch of Han Dynasty warrior figurines were unearthed in Yangjiawan. Their costumes fully reproduce the magnificent characteristics of the Han Dynasty military costumes. The costumes of the warriors come in red, white, green, purple and other colors. One of the most special ones is above the waist. It is fish scale armor, with a green coat on the bottom, red and white 'crotches' on the lower body, and extremely gorgeous feet. Three-color high-waisted boots. Not only are the costumes gorgeous, they also clearly have the characteristics of Hu people's attire. "
"So this painting by the artist really reflects the era of Emperor Wu and the character of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. With a considerable degree of speculation, I wouldn’t be able to draw such a shield.”
"And this arm guard is indeed a very unique thing, which is impressive at first glance." Master Yang said: "But the painter you said was not from the Han Dynasty. If he wanted to paint this, He has to have seen it, right?”
“Here, Zhou Zhi pointed to the retrieved information. Material: Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty was fond of Buddhism and often ordered him to paint walls when decorating Buddhist temples. The Buddhist statues he painted had their own style, which was called the "Zhang Family Style" and was a model for sculptors."
"It is also a fine example. He also made portraits and genre paintings. He also had the courage to try new painting methods. He used Tianzhu painting method to paint the gate of Yicheng Temple in Jiankang with vermilion and turquoise. The 'convex and concave flowers' are very three-dimensional, making viewers think they are real flowers."
"This is probably the reason why he knows the Hu people's arms." Jiang Tianxi pointed to another piece of content found. : "Yao Zui's "Continued Paintings" said that he 'had court clothes and wild clothes, which are still the same today and in ancient times. They have strange shapes and appearances, and they are different from the barbarians'." It shows that he attaches great importance to textual research on the clothing of the characters in the paintings, but when drawing the characters, he likes to draw strange shapes and special features."
"There is also this, he was ordered to do it at that time. Painting portraits of kings from various countries can have the effect of treating them like human beings," Zhou Zhi said. "So he must have seen many Hu people and various Buddhist paintings from the Western Regions. He was deeply impressed by the arms of the Hu people, so he associated them with the character of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and painted them on the arms of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. "Come on." Dean Jiang said, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, There is an underlying logic to this kind of painting. Civilian officials in the Han Dynasty advocated simple and simple clothing, while military officials advocated majestic and majestic clothing. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the painting wears a crown and a long robe, he wears a collar and a shoulder protector. What is his posthumous title?”
"Martial!" Zhou Zhi clapped his hands: "This is the fundamental reason why Zhang Sengyao painted the image of Emperor Wu like this! As the supreme emperor, his actions are restricted and his clothes are regular. Zhang Sengyao naturally also Don’t dare to draw too much , so this side of the character’s character is expressed through the details of the loops and arms!”
“This is just a guess,” Dean Jiang said with the rigor of a historian. "Han Wu Shooting Jiao Picture" "The Emperor Wu's bodyguard found the archaeological object, and the last doubt in this painting has been erased. Congratulations!"
"Then please tell Mr. Jiang about our discussion to the capital, I will Then hurry back and send six to four The painting at home has been restored."
"Don't be busy!" Jiang Tianxi quickly stopped: "I called you here because Hotan wanted to ask for permission. Can this 'Five Stars Out of the East' armband be copied? ”
"To be precise, it is a copy of a standard brocade. This arm guard is actually only a very small part of a complete brocade." Zhou Zhi said: "The Laoguanshan Han Tomb loom is originally a model. Although the parts are neat, But the width is only twenty centimeters. We combined historical data and enlarged it to a width of three feet. To make this It’s hard to deal with such a small thing.”
“So ambitious?” Dean Jiang was happy: “Then let’s do it this way.” Zisun'jin was unearthed from Cemetery No. 3 of the Niya site."
"This tomb is the highest-standard tomb in this rescue excavation. According to research, the tomb owners should be King Jingjue and Queen Jingjue. This fabric is a 'brocade quilt'. It is a wedding item for King Jingjue, the owner of Tomb No. 3. It is made of two pieces of brocade stitched together. It is rectangular, 168 cm long and wide. 94 centimeters.”
“How about this range?”
This cultural relic is also very precious, and the decoration is Although the colors are not as bright as the "Five Stars from the East" brocade, they are still very rich. The warp lines are in navy blue, crimson, white, yellow, green and other colors. The patterns are also very complex, including dancing figures, dogwood patterns, variant cloud patterns, etc. , interspersed with the words "Long live the prince and his descendants", this is clearly a custom-made gift specially prepared for the prince's wedding.
"Mr. Jiang, don't worry. We now have a very scientific method for copying brocade. As long as we can produce high-definition images, we will have no problem. This can be easily solved by using high-definition photos or scanned pictures plus computer drawing software." . ”
“But for ‘Five Stars Out of the East’ The brocade was divided into two pieces, and a part of it was still broken. It needs to be pieced together to restore its original appearance. "Zhou Zhi said, "You don't even need photos or scans. You can go to the Central Academy of Fine Arts to find some masters to paint, as long as the picture accuracy is higher. Yuan Jingao, that’s no problem.”(End of Chapter)
