The other time is the time when the seal is engraved.

Also, the one who engraved the inscription.

Unfortunately, this time is not the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Rather, it was the Tang Dynasty.

Again, though, it's a celebrity.

And he's a calligrapher.

"Xu Hao, the word Jihai. Received calligraphy from the father, young and clear, with the shoulders of Chu, Xue, late benefit of the old, diving, dedication. ”

The evaluation of this historical material is relatively high. Chu and Xue refer to the calligraphers Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji in the Tang Dynasty; Xi and Xian naturally refer to Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi.

There were many calligraphy masters in the Tang Dynasty, and Xu Hao's popularity is still not as good as the top ones, but his skills are also very profound.

Xu Hao's calligraphy works can be seen today is the "Bukong Monk Tablet", the calligraphy of this inscription has also been highly praised by the past dynasties.

Although Xu Hao's seal carving works have no historical records and physical hand-me-downs, this Qingtian Panlong Seal is said to be engraved by Xu Hao, and it can still sort out some contexts.

Xu Hao's background is good, his father Xu Qiao is a high-ranking official and a calligrapher, and his mother Zhang is the sister of Zhang Jiuling, the prime minister of the dynasty; that is to say, Xu Hao is Zhang Jiuling's nephew, and Zhang Jiuling is Xu Hao's uncle.

At the same time, Xu Hao himself is also well-versed, and has served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, a waiter in the Ministry of Officials, a bachelor in Jixian Palace, and a prince of Huiji County.

Xu Hao's "diving essence and dedication", not only this historical data, he has a very in-depth study of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and has always admired and taken Wang Xizhi, and copying Wang Xizhi is also quite in place.

Although Li Yu, who was good at poetry, calligraphy and painting and could not be an emperor, once commented that "Xu Hao got the meat of the right army and lost it to the vulgar", but this is also a bone in the egg, if he can fully reach the level of Wang Xizhi, is he still Xu Hao?

On these basis, first of all, with Xu Hao's situation, it is completely possible to get this Qingtian Panlong Ancient Seal.

He also served as the "Huiji County Prince", and Sun Liang, after being deposed, was the "Huiji King".

The circulation of this Qingtian Panlong Seal is likely to be in the Huiji area.

And Wang Xizhi also "lived in Huiji Shanyin", the beginning of the Lanting preface is: Yonghe nine years, the age is in the ugly, at the beginning of the twilight of spring, will be in the Lanting of Huiji Shanyin, and repair things.

After Xu Hao gets this Qingtian Panlong Seal, he will definitely go to conduct some research and generational judgment.

In fact, from the 258 years of Eastern Wu to the 303 years (some say 321 years) of Wang Xizhi's birth, there is no difference of several decades. It's also possible that he didn't judge so accurately.

Therefore, it is also possible that it is roughly identified as the seal of the period in which Wang Xizhi lived.

It is a seal without a seal, that is, although it is an old seal, it has not been officially used. Therefore, the original owner, Xu Hao is afraid that he will not know.

However, he knew that this was the best material, and at the same time believed that it was a seal carved by Wang Xizhi during his period.

Or a dragon button.

In all dynasties, in terms of calligraphy attainments, who is the "leading boss"?

In Xu Hao's mind, it should be Wang Xizhi!

So, he solemnly engraved the glorious name that he admired all his life on this Qingtian Panlong seal:

Wang Xizhi

This is not Wang Xizhi's private seal, and it doesn't even have anything to do with Wang Xizhi.

The person who carved the seal was a young king who acted as a puppet, and perhaps, in times of depression and anger, stone carving was his greatest consolation. This kind of consolation is not normal, which is why there is such a special form that does not conform to historical characteristics.

The person who engraved the inscription is a successful person in a high position, perhaps, in addition to the green clouds, calligraphy, is his greatest pursuit. There are traces of this kind of pursuit, so there is this kind of seal of the name that is not engraved by the original owner.

Xu Hao engraved the seal of "Wang Xizhi" on this Qingtian Panlong seal, and he would not use it.

In a sense, he is using this to pay tribute to a generation of scholars.

He didn't add any honorific titles, just carved a name, not a lot of words, not a lot of words.

This, however, seems to be a greater respect.

Far away from time and space, respect from the heart. I can't meet you, I can only use this seal to pay tribute, and the art of calligraphy represented by this name does not need any embellishment, it is a monument that stands forever!

The mystery of this Qingtian Panlong Seal seems to have been solved one by one.

Although there are many contexts that Wu Duo himself hooked up. There are only cultural relics, no historical materials, which can be regarded as the maximum vow.

As Old Man Liu said, this is definitely not Wang Xizhi's private seal. But I think it shouldn't be the ancients imitating the ancients, perhaps, out of a kind of remembrance and commemoration, or even a memorial. ”

Wu Duo finally opened his mouth, and there was still a trace of profundity in his eyes, as if he had not completely "crossed" back from the thousand-year-old history.

"Hmmm······" Liu Gang tasted the product, and then nodded again and again, "What you say is indeed more reasonable." But, in your opinion, what period is it?"

"I can't be too precise either. However, at the latest, it has to be from the Tang Dynasty. Although Wu Duo would ask Liu Gangpao if he could sell it next, he still chose to tell the truth as much as possible.

This Qingtian Panlong Seal, although it has "nothing to do" with Wang Xizhi, is very likely to be the one owned by Wu Di back then.

From the point of view of the dynasties, it is not a mistake to say that it is the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is only a few decades apart, and it is normal for deviations to occur. It's just that because I can "listen", I am so accurate.

At the same time, it is normal for Wang Xizhi's private seal to be engraved by a craftsman; although it is the engraving of Xu Hao in the Tang Dynasty, after all, it has been more than a thousand years, and it is difficult to distinguish.

As for the "specialness" of the form and the inscription, since it has not been used, it may be bold to assume that Wang Xizhi may have been used as a pleasure rather than a seal letter.

"If you identify it like this, you will exclude the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties at once. Liu Gangcang groaned, "However, this seal is indeed very ancient. It is not the shape of the time, but it has the style of the six dynasties and Wu and Jin. ”

Wu Duo nodded, and asked instead, "Old man, can you tell me the specific process of buying it?"

"What's wrong with this?" Liu Gangpao said, "At that time, the unit organized retired workers to travel to Huangshan, and one day it was a free activity, so I went to a nearby town by myself, which is called Songxi Town, and there is a folk culture street." ”

After all, the time is not far away, Liu Gangpao basically remembers, "There is a shop that sells rice paper and stationery supplies, called Pinwenge, I went in, bought some rice paper, and saw a few Qingtian stone seals, but in the end I didn't like it; ”

"Didn't he tell me how?"

"I asked about this, let's play ancient, we must want to know the origin. By the way, the boss said, this is from your Dongshan Province!"

"He opened a shop near Huangshan, and it is not an antique shop, how can he collect things from Dongshan Province?"
