I looked around at the items in the store, most of them were ordinary four treasures of the study, there were no old objects, and I wanted to ask Boss Gu what treasures of the town store were in the store, so I asked: "Boss Gu, what do we have in the store?"

Maybe I didn't have an accurate meaning or it was more abrupt, Boss Gu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and was a little displeased, but still out of politeness, he replied: "There are mostly four treasures in the store. ”

I silently said in my mouth, "The Four Treasures of the Study." ”

The four treasures of the study room refer to the unique calligraphy and painting tools in China, namely pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. It can be said that it not only expresses the customs of the Chinese nation that are different from other nations, but also contributes to the progress and development of world culture.

Uncle Fang saw that the negotiation between the two sides was stalemate, and the atmosphere was tense, so he took the initiative to talk to me: "Little cow, this Chinese pen, ink, paper, and inkstone is very particular, how about it, Uncle Fang will test you today?"

I also came to the nature at once, and when I saw my dad nodding slightly, I smiled and ended the challenge.

"These four treasures of the study room are the great inventions of the industrious and intelligent ancient Chinese in production practice. Over the past several thousand years, the Chinese nation has constantly summed up experience, preserved its essence, discarded its dross, dared to explore and innovate, and made outstanding contributions to creating a brilliant culture of the Chinese nation and promoting cultural exchanges between the Chinese nation and all ethnic groups in the world. ”

Listening to my words, Boss Gu's eyes lit up instantly, and he said to me: "Oh, this young man is good, there are not many young people who still understand this." ”

Uncle Fang was overjoyed when he saw that Boss Gu liked to listen to this, this fragrant car is equipped with beautiful women, and BMW is a hero, and he is afraid that the sword will be sheathed in the right place. "Let's talk about this pen first. ”

My love for history and culture is not boastful, and I said confidently: "This brush is a traditional writing tool and painting tool." Pens, usually made of poultry hair, rabbit hair, sheep hair, wolf hair is better. ”

Speaking of which, I thought of something interesting and continued, "There is another special and precious kind of hair brush. This so-called fetal brush is the first time after the birth of the baby after the hair made of the brush, is the only person who can be left as a memorial after the birth of the mother's womb, it has a natural hair that is only once in life, precious. ”

Boss Gu said with great interest: "Yes, now that the standard of living is better, sometimes there will be customers who come to the store with fetal hair, and let us help find someone to make fetal hairbrushes." ”

I smiled slightly, "Boss Gu, this fetal brush is not new now. ”

Boss Gu and Uncle Fang were stunned for a moment, while my father cast an approving look at me.

I said: "The fetal brush has a long history, since the Tang Dynasty there has been the custom of making "fetal brush", the Tang Dynasty poet Qi Ji in the "Sending the Fetal Hair Pen to Send Ren Gong Poem" has a cloud "inside for the fetal hair outside the autumn, green clothes new cut tube tight" verse, this is an excellent proof. ”

Boss Gu was very happy and clapped his hands, "Oh, I really heard that there is a precedence, and the master is the teacher." This little brother is a great talent. ”

I sweated in my heart, thinking that this is not a rare knowledge point, you are still the owner of a study shop, and you are usually too lacking in learning.

My dad saw that I was a little proud, so he hurriedly beat me and said to Boss Gu: "Oh, Boss Gu, this is my dog, how can I have a relationship with your brother." ”

When Boss Gu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Oh, the tiger father has no dogs!"

My dad hurriedly pushed and said to me, "Stinky boy, you can go on and talk about this ink." ”

In the book "Heavenly Creation" written by Song Yingxing in the Ming Dynasty, there is a detailed description of the method of making ink with oil smoke and pine smoke. This ink is used as a consumable, and very few ancient inks have survived to this day. The supreme in this ink is Hui ink, which has the characteristics of falling paper such as lacquer, black and moist color, lasting for a long time, paper and pen are not glued, rich fragrance, rich skin and greasy, etc., known as light, grinding to clear, smelling sweet, hard as jade, grinding silently, a little like lacquer, and the reputation of being true for thousands of years. ”

When my dad heard this, he deliberately wanted to test me and asked, "Boy, these are all basics, do you know Qi Yanmo?"

I frowned slightly, and then stretched out again: "In the Song Dynasty, Shen Jue, an ink worker, burned tobacco with pine coal and miscellaneous grease lacquer to make ink, which was black and glowing, called "lacquer smoke". This high-grade lacquer smoke ink is usually made of more than 10 kinds of materials such as tung oil smoke, musk, borneol, gold leaf, pearl powder, etc., which is very precious. ”

Uncle Fang saw that I answered my father's question, and quipped: "Little cow, you are much better than your uneducated father, hahaha." ”

When my dad heard this, he was upset: "Hey, Lao Fang, you said that Lao Tzu is uneducated." ”

I was very embarrassed, this excitement was Lao Tzu Lao Tzu, he was quite uneducated, and hurriedly interrupted my father's frenzy: "Let me talk about this paper." ”

Sure enough, the argument was interrupted.

I said, "Paper is one of the four great inventions of ancient times. Even in today's prevalence of machine-made paper, some traditional handmade paper still reflects its irreplaceable role and glows with unique brilliance. The ancient paper can still be glimpsed in the ancient calligraphy and painting that has been handed down. ”

When Uncle Fang heard this, he became interested and said, "Yes, Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty made paper." Yesterday I listened to cross talk, and there is this one. Then he hummed regardless of the surroundings: "Small paper, boxy, Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty made paper, Nanjing used it to wrap silk and satin, and Beijing used it to wrap articles..."

Not to mention, Uncle Fang's little song is singing with a clear eye, Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme, but I still have to interrupt him.

I snorted lightly and said, "As we all know, paper was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty. But archaeological excavations have raised questions about this. Fangmatan paper in the early Western Han Dynasty, Baqiao paper, Hanging Spring paper, Maquanwan paper, Juyan paper in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and dry beach slope paper in the late Western Han Dynasty. Not only are these papers older than Cai Lun paper, but some of them also have ink fonts on them, indicating that they have been used for writing documents. ”

I saw that Uncle Fang's face was wrong, and I knew that I had swept his face in front of others, so I hurriedly added: "Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty improved papermaking, which made writing tools popular, and also made outstanding contributions to the spread of world culture. Therefore, people now believe that this paper was invented by Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

Seeing that I had given Yuan back face, Uncle Fang nodded, "Little Niu, you can talk about the inkstone, this is a stationery item that is most closely related to antiques." ”

I promised, "Okay, this inkstone can be said to be the first of the four treasures of the study." The inkstone is delicate in texture, moist and pure, crystal smooth, beautiful in texture and color, easy to ink but not absorbent. The best inkstones in history are none other than Duan inkstone, She inkstone, Tao inkstone and Chengni inkstone. ”

Thinking of the antique that Uncle Fang just mentioned, I said: "If this inkstone is related to antiques, it must be an ancient inkstone." The book was written in the Qianlong period, containing 41 inkstones and 108 pictures, all of which are pine flowers, purple gold, camel bases, red silk and imitation Chengni inkstones. ”

Speaking of which, Boss Gu hurriedly interrupted me and startled me. "By the way, Boss Fang, as I told you last time, I received an inkstone, and the guest said that it was an ancient inkstone, and you also know that although I like it, I still can't do it for so many years, and I haven't started. I have a chance today, can you help me with my palm?"
