Yu Yao smiled, silent, and did not reject.

Zheng Wenzhi opened the laptop and clicked on the folder, which contained a total of more than a dozen high-definition large pictures, some as a whole and some partial.

The pictures were all taken by Zheng Wenzhi himself, and when I looked at this shooting angle, I knew that Zheng Wenzhi was an expert, and he noticed all the places that should be paid attention to.

Yu Yao was eye-catching, judging from the picture, it was indeed lazurite. Lapis lazuli is also limestone in nature, but it is relatively green and bright, and it is a good stone for inscriptions.

This is not a complete stele with no stele head and no pedestal, but fortunately the inscription is complete.

However, although the inscription on this stele is not incomplete, the overall content is incomplete, that is, an inscription may take several pieces to be carved without one stele.

Judging from the text content of this tablet, it can be inferred that the complete inscription should be Zheng Daozhao's account of the life and deeds of his brother Zheng Yi. Zheng Yi did not mix well in his official career, but the rhetoric of the inscription was still too exaggerated; to put it bluntly, it was the younger brother who bragged about his brother's bullshit.

But in terms of calligraphy, that's really remarkable. The penmanship is still the posture of the official book, but it is also integrated into the penmanship of the seal script, and at the same time it has the dignified style of regular script, and there is a faint style of calligraphy.

Fang Yuan is accommodating, the changes are moderate, and the style is elegant.

The characteristics of calligraphy are similar to Zheng Daozhao's famous "Zheng Wengong Monument". However, "Zheng Wengong Monument" is a cliff stone carving, so some brushwork feelings, this tablet is more delicately reflected.

Calligraphy is good, but also need to carve with the work, the carving is profound, and it is not done by ordinary craftsmen.

There is no problem with these, Yu Yao couldn't help but nod secretly as he looked at it.

When Yu Yao was watching, He Wenguang and Zheng Wenzhi did not get close, but Wei Lai came up, and discussed the pictures on his mobile phone on the road before, Zheng Wenzhi didn't like him at all, he was just an observer.

Wei Lai stared at a word on the inscription, frowned slightly, wanted to speak, but endured it, and finally did not say it, but pointed to the first word of the word on the picture on the computer screen.

The word is "never lose one". After the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it evolved into foolproof, but from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, it was still dominated by the use of foolproof.

Wei Lai's question is that in this word, the traditional Chinese word "万�" is not used, but the current simplified Chinese character "万".

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, how could the current simplified Chinese characters be used? What's more, it was still from the hand of the great calligrapher Zheng Daozhao?

However, Wei Lai also knew that the three people in the room could be regarded as experts, and they had not questioned it, so there might be no problem.

So he just nodded and didn't speak. If Yu Yao hadn't noticed this, then he should have reminded him, and if Yu Yao had noticed it a long time ago, and there was no problem, then he could also say that he thought that calligraphy was so good that he couldn't get out of the way.

Yu Yao looked at him. Wei Lai is an office administrator, and he may lack eyesight and knowledge, but Yu Yao can't easily look down on him.

Since he pointed it, Yu Yao responded very mellowly, "This vulgar character is indeed very distinctive. ”

When Wei Lai heard this, he was slightly stunned, but soon nodded with a smile, "Mr. Yu is indeed a good eyesight!"

After speaking, he left Yu Yao's side, walked to another sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and began to check "vulgar characters".

The so-called vulgar characters are popular characters, not official orthography, and their essence is not standardized, but they can also be counted as a kind of variant characters.

In fact, since ancient times, the relationship between orthography and vulgar characters has not been static, and many orthography has eventually been replaced by vulgar characters.

At the same time, many vulgar characters in ancient times have also been selected in modern times when formulating simplified character schemes.

For example, this "10,000", in the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this kind of vulgar character glyph appeared, and now it is also used as a simplified character.

Zheng Daozhao wrote this inscription, not to write poems or articles, before writing, he knew that the monument was to be engraved, and even a few tablets and how to lay out the inscriptions, he had basically mastered them; therefore, when he wrote, he would pay attention to many problems; especially as a calligrapher, he paid special attention to aesthetic problems.

Ten thousand do not lose one, except for "ten thousand", the strokes are relatively simple, the four characters are arranged up and down, with this "ten thousand", there will be a feeling of being top-heavy; when he writes, he can barely control it finely, but carved on the stone tablet, it is not easy to say.

If the final "one" is solved by another "one", there will be a certain difference in meaning, and it is not as good as just changing the "ten thousand" beauty.

He should have used the colloquial word "10,000" because of this.

Of course, this is just Yu Yao's inference, and the specific reason is probably only known to Zheng Daozhao himself.

Among the Wei steles, it is very common for vulgar characters to appear, mainly because of the demand for calligraphy beauty and the particularity of the inscription. Even, if it is not a famous calligraphy, there will be a situation where the carver sees the difficult to engrave the words and deliberately lazily uses the vulgar characters.

This "10,000" character, from the perspective of penmanship, there is no problem, and the strokes and posture are in line with Zheng Daozhao's calligraphy characteristics. Even if it is a fake, it must be engraved according to the words written by Zheng Daozhao.

Just looking at the picture, it is difficult to identify, there is no three-dimensional sense, and it cannot be touched. Moreover, this is not all the inscriptions, nor all the inscriptions, which invisibly adds a lot of difficulty.

Yu Yao thought to himself, it is indeed a good thing! It's just that it's hard to see anything wrong from the picture, if only he could see the real thing and appreciate it!

Thinking of this, Yu Yao couldn't help but look up at Zheng Wenzhi, at this time Zheng Wenzhi was also looking at Yu Yao, as if smiling, the corners of his mouth brought up an arc, this expression seemed to be expected Yu Yao to have nothing to say.

Yu Yao saw his expression, immediately looked at the computer screen again, and brought up a picture.

He's not vindictive.

It was the curvature of the corners of Zheng Wenzhi's mouth, which suddenly reminded him of a pattern on the side of the inscription he had just seen! The curvature of the corners of Zheng Wenzhi's mouth was very natural, but the curvature on this ornament didn't seem to be very natural.

To be precise, the arc of the ornamentation seems to be too round, more like the style of the Tang Dynasty and the Wu Zhou Dynasty, but it lacks the "rigidity" of the Wei tablet ornamentation.

Looking at this ornament again, Yu Yao found that it felt wrong, but it could only be said to be a feeling, and it could not be used as conclusive evidence.

However, there is no problem with the ornamental features, but Yu Yao found that there is a problem with the weathering pattern of the nick because of careful inspection!

After carefully comparing it again, Yu Yao sighed slightly, got up and left the computer, and lit a cigarette.

"How's that?" He Wenguang asked.

Without waiting for Yu Yao's interface, Zheng Wenzhi waved his hand holding the cigarette and said with a smile, "It's hard to be a little Yu! Wei Bei is a rare item, and this is just looking at the picture, I'm afraid I can't even appreciate the real beauty!"

Yu Yao exhaled a puff of smoke, "In terms of aesthetics, it is true. However, it can be seen that this monument seems to be a bit new. ”

"What did you say?" Zheng Wenzhi's cigarette in his hand almost disappeared. Yu Yao's words sound more subtle, but veterans understand that this is saying that this monument is not true!
