Chapter 320: The Forgotten Calligrapher
Hu Yang glanced at it and found that it was the "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Patriarchs", it is said that there are two versions of this Buddhist scripture, one is the Fahai book, about 12,000 words, and the other is the Zongbao book, which was adapted by the monk Zongbao around the 28th year of the Yuan Shizu. One volume of ten products, about 20,000 words.
What Wen Wenhao got was Fahaiben, looking at its content, the calligraphy is like a flowing calligraphy.
"This is the "Six Ancestors Altar Sutra" once enshrined on the Leifeng Pagoda, my senior brother occasionally got it, it is a little more expensive, 10,000 yuan. The monk spoke.
He is also a good person, seeing Wen Wenhao's expression, the lion opened his mouth in an instant, very calm, and did not worry about selling.
Everyone was speechless, this monk, every thing, does he have to forcibly mark the calendar? Also Leifeng Pagoda, I have never heard of it, on Leifeng Pagoda, there is such a thing, bragging and not making drafts.
Wen Wenhao also listened to it as a joke, it was not that he had not gone up to Leifeng Tower, and he regretted it once he went up, and the tickets were not worth it.
Although it is said that Fahai is involved with the Leifeng Pagoda, you cannot say that this volume of the "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Ancestors" was once on the Leifeng Pagoda! Also, how did your senior brother get it? They really opened their mouths, and they found that when the monk told a lie, his eyes really did not blink, and his face did not blush.
Doesn't it mean that the monks don't speak? In this monk, it can't be reflected at all, and it's just a big talker.
"A hundred, I can take it. Wen Wenhao began to bargain.
"Amitabha! This price, the Buddha Lord will not agree. ”
The audience in the live broadcast room should laugh: There is a woolen relationship with the Buddha!
If you want the Buddha to really know, first of all, slap you to death as a disciple, right? The treasure of the Buddha sect was sold by you.
"I remember, the last time he was on the black market, he said the same thing. The old audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but speak.
"This monk is absolutely amazing. The Buddha Lord was all carried out. ”
"If I were the Buddha, I would destroy this stinky bald head first. ”
......
"The Buddha Lord told you, how much money can be sold?" Wen Wenhao teased.
The monk twitched cheeky: "At least eight thousand!"
Xiao Gao couldn't help but speak: "Won't the Buddha Lord be angry?"
"Amitabha, you are all destined for my Buddha, and the Buddha Lord is very happy. ”
Gee!
This cheek is invincible. However, since it's a fateful person, can't it be free?
"Two hundred, no more. Wen Wenhao added a hundred.
The monk shook his head: "This is a hand-copied copy, a total of more than 12,000 words, even if a word is calculated for a dime, it will cost more than 1,002." I don't think that this kind of calligraphy font is worth a dime per word. A couplet bought in the New Year is about 20 words, and the cheap one costs 8 or 10 yuan, and on average, it costs about five cents a word. ”
I'll it!
Hu Yang and others are absolutely down, and there is no way to refute this reason. Monk, if you don't do sales, it's a waste of talent!
"Five hundred! It's not the same as a New Year's couplet. ”
The monk still shook his head: "It's different, it's a lot more precious." Originally, it was more than 20,000 yuan, but you are all destined people, 5,000, below this price, the Buddha will be angry. ”
Your sister's!
Can you stop talking about the Buddha?
The two bargained, and finally sold for 1,500 yuan. Every word is about a dime.
"Donor, you ......"
Hu Yang interrupted him: "I'm sorry! ”
The monk was choked for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the others, not missing any opportunity to gather wool!
The others likewise waved their hands: "We are all Taoists. ”
"In this way, the poor monk will not force it. ”
"Master, excuse me. Hu Yang led everyone away.
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room didn't laugh enough, it was really interesting. A few people are so hypocritical that they want to be famous, and everyone understands what is going on, but they don't expose it, and they respect each other like guests, Nima!
"Brother Hu, can you see that it is the handwriting of the calligrapher?" After leaving the monk, Wen Wenhao couldn't wait to ask.
The first time he saw this calligraphy font, he liked it, and he was very interested in him, which is why he talked to the monk for so long.
I saw that this work is presented in the form of low left and high right in the structure of the characters, the writing is natural, and the turning point of the strokes is very clear, without a sense of sloppiness.
Moreover, from beginning to end, it is like flowing clouds and water, telling the story, which has both the meaning of the ancients and a sense of agility, and there are no exaggerated strokes, which is really everyone's handwriting.
"There is a kind of quaint charm of stele learning. Hu Yang commented.
According to the information fed back by the Eye of Knowledge, he already knew the detailed origin of this work, not only from whom, but even who had collected it halfway, and the Eye of Knowledge gave detailed information, which was very thoughtful.
"Yes, it looks clumsy, but it contains agility. I can't think of a calligrapher with this kind of handwriting. The whole Buddhist scripture has a total of more than 10,000 words, without any alteration. A very perfect volume of sutras. "Wen Wenhao likes it more and more.
"I think of a person who may not be a very famous calligrapher. Hu Yang smiled.
Xiaogao exclaimed: "Can't this kind of calligraphy be famous?"
"It's hard to say, Master Hanshan, have you heard of it?" asked Hu Yang.
Everyone shook their heads, even Wen Wenhao was a little confused, obviously he hadn't heard much of it.
"Master Hanshan, although he is a monk, he is also good at calligraphy, and his strength is not inferior to many calligraphers. The characteristics of this Buddhist scripture calligraphy, I feel that nine times out of ten are his. ”
Hu Yang introduced, Hanshan's real name is Cai Deqing, he is a high monk in the Ming Dynasty, called Hanshan, although his reputation in the book world is not big, but his strength is not under the famous family.
It is said that Master Hanshan has been smart since childhood, for the history of scriptures, can be seen and understood, especially like poetry, he is full of poetry and books, broad-minded, cut his hair as a monk when he was more than ten years old, and since then he has traveled through the mountains and rivers, and is committed to the study of Buddhist history and literary history, and his writings are rich, and he is a person who is full of learning.
He is good at all kinds of books, but the one that can represent his attainments is Xingshu. Hanshan's calligraphy as a whole gives people a sense of sparseness, between the words, the distance between the lines is relatively large, the words are independent but echo each other, so that the whole calligraphy is integrated.
In terms of the intensity of ink, he has a clever point, and there will be several words with heavy ink color in each line, forming a visual contrast and bringing a sense of rhythm. Hu Yang said.
In the arrangement and combination of strokes, the combination of thickness and thinness, there is a unique charm, there is no sense of tacky, such calligraphy can not only occupy a place in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the line of calligraphy in the past dynasties, it is also a leader.
In fact, many famous monks in history were masters of calligraphy.
And for many calligraphers, copying Buddhist scriptures is also a common thing. It is in this way that Buddhist holy places such as Mogao Grottoes have preserved a lot of calligraphy and painting classics.
"It can be said that this is a forgotten calligrapher. Populus concluded.
He made a slight valuation of this Buddhist scripture and thought that it was more than 100,000 and less than 300,000.
When Xiaowen heard this, she was shocked again, making money is so simple for these people. At this moment, she is also full of expectations for her boyfriend Xiao Gao's career.
