"I remember, this seems to be Wu Changshuo's alias, right?" Zhao Tianming said, no wonder he is so familiar, during this time, because he has encountered more modern things, he has been studying the characters and products of this era recently.

Wu Changshuo is an art master in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and he has many aliases, such as Cangshi, Cangshi, Cangshuo, Lao Cang, Lao Xuan, Kutie, Da Deaf, Daoren, Shi Venerable and so on.

It is estimated that people left the nickname of "Little Daoist", and he deliberately left an alias of "Daoist"? I have to say that these art masters are sometimes quite naughty.

Many people only know that Wu Changshuo is a famous great painter, however, he is known as the Four Uniques, a collection of poetry, calligraphy, painting, and printing in one, and has outstanding attainments in various fields, with rich and far-reaching works.

Most people don't know much about his reputation for seal carving, however, in Japan, Wu Changshuo is even called the seal saint, and the book saint Wang Xizhi, the painting saint Wu Daozi, and the grass saint Zhang Zhi are equally famous, which shows that his achievements are extraordinary and highly respected.

"It's really terrifying, I didn't think about it at the time, I only found out about it by checking the information. Liu Lao said with emotion.

"It's nothing, right? I have a mobile phone, just look it up. Zhao Tianming said modestly, however, without the help of the mysterious ancient mirror, he was quite proud to identify a work with his own eyesight, proving that the book during this period was not in vain.

"I can't say that, I can really look up everything on the Internet, where are there so many eyes? ”

Qi Lao said at this time, he didn't recognize his attitude very much, since he entered the antique industry, he must have such an attitude, rigorous study, and not be sloppy at all, otherwise maybe one day, he will stumble.

Moreover, the information on the Internet is not necessarily correct, and many of them are written by unprofessional people, especially in terms of antiques, and some of them are not necessarily dug by others.

The inscription left by Wu Changshuo shows that he once collected, and it is almost certain that this inkstone will not be a fake, and there are still his seal carving works on it, which are of higher value. However, there is another interesting quote here. Zhou Lao removed the inkstone cover, pointed to the top of the inkstone and said.

"The country's sea is banned, and major events in the East begin?" Wang Zhiwei read out, and the words on it were not like the seal characters carved by Wu Changshuo, but a line of block letters, which he naturally recognized.

However, there is no payment below, and I don't know who wrote it.

"This is, Feng Guozhang's words? Could it be that Feng Guozhang also collected this inkstone?" Zhao Tianming felt a little magical, he knew this sentence, not because of the knowledge of antiques, but because he knew it when he was reading books before.

Feng Guozhang's name, I believe many people know, one of the famous "Three Heroes of Beiyang", in the chaotic and turbulent era in the early Republic of China, he even served as acting president.

Like Yuan Chonghuan, when he entered the military as a scholar, he showed extremely high military talent and had his own unique thoughts and insights.

In that complicated era, the evaluation of Feng Guozhang has always been mixed. As a conservative force, he suppressed revolutionary uprisings, however, he also participated in the First Sino-Japanese War, the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and also openly opposed Yuan Shikai's proclamation as emperor.

As a Chinese intellectual with great ambitions, or as a military general with strong national self-esteem, Feng Guozhang interprets this era with his profound thinking and keen insights.

In his later years, he once rebuilt the preface of the genealogy, and stipulated that in the future, the Feng family should take the cross of "the national sea ban and the major events in the East" as the order of seniority.

This sentence is also his life's opinion and ambition on the current situation, and he can formulate these ten words for the descendants of his people, it should be said that Feng Guozhang, who was a minister of the Qing court in his early years, can be called very politically far-sighted and positive.

At that time, Feng Guozhang had deeply perceived that a country that had been closed off for hundreds of years, with declining and decaying national strength, had long lagged far behind the world trend.

The only feasible way is to hope that the country will become prosperous, strengthen and prosper, break the sea ban, and introduce advanced ideas, science and technology from foreign countries.

However, he also has similar worries and scruples as Li Hongzhang back then, the old guard forces are still deep-rooted, and political foresight is not equal to political wisdom, his political wisdom and Li Hongzhang are not comparable at all, and all kinds of camps are enough to make him fall into the quagmire and be powerless to struggle.

Throughout his life, he realized that it was not possible to achieve the "great events of the East" in the ancient land of the East, which could not be accomplished overnight or even in one generation. Therefore, he put his hope on his children and grandchildren and left his ancestral teachings.

"The country's sea is banned, and major events in the East arise", seeing this sentence, everyone was a little silent, everyone seemed to see the turbulent and chaotic era at the beginning, with smoke everywhere, thousands of miles of blood, how many heroes, ups and downs in the rolling torrent of the times, ups and downs all their lives, for their own ideals, for the fate of the country, all their hearts and blood.

Especially a few old people, I felt more deeply, and that era was not far from them.

The inkstone in front of him is even thicker in the eyes of everyone, as if it has witnessed that era of suffering. It is precisely because these antiques, full of the imprint of the times, will make people more fascinated and exude infinite charm.

There is no Feng Guozhang's signature on it, it should not be his collection, it is likely to be the collection of his descendants, after all, it is not surprising that this sentence is engraved on their favorite cultural relics as their family's ancestral motto. Zhou Lao guessed that if there was Feng Guozhang's own payment on it, the weight would naturally be different, however, this kind of thing could not be forced, let alone verified.

"It's a pity that there is no Feng Guozhang's payment on it. Even people like Wang Zhiwei, who are not interested in cultural play, are quite regrettable.

"Speaking of which, I also have a collection of Wu Changshuo's fine calligraphy and paintings, I wonder if you are interested in taking a look?"

Waiting for Zhou Lao to put the inkstone that everyone watched and played with into the inkstone, Liu Lao sent out an invitation, and many people showed that they were very interested in Wu Changshuo's calligraphy and painting.

"There must be, Lao Liu, you lead the way. ”

Predecessors like them, who have a large collection of antiques, must have a library dedicated to preserving calligraphy and paintings at home, so as to create a suitable environment to prevent the destruction of calligraphy and paintings.

Naturally, there are also in Liu's house, and there is more than one place, and the library they are going to now is on the second floor of a side hall.

However, when they went up to the second floor, they heard the sound of talking in the library, and there were already people inside.
