Chapter 24: Treasure Hunting

"Huh?" Chen Yan immediately couldn't be happy, he opened his mouth wide and asked Tang Fengdao: "You're not joking, are you? It was still the Ming and Qing dynasties just now, why did it become the Qingming period in a blink of an eye?"

Sometimes it depends on the situation to say the appraisal results, with Chen Yan and his wife here, Tang Feng is really inconvenient to say it directly, he wants to say it, it must be fine at the time, but as soon as he leaves, it will be "The First World War". But there is no way to hide this kind of thing, sooner or later it will have to be a goof, Tang Feng patted Chen Yan on the shoulder and said: "I know that you have a good mentality, your wife was here just now, I can't say it directly, but this thing must be fake." ”

Chen Yan said very frustratedly: "It's not that I don't believe you, you have to tell me the reason." ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Of course." After he finished speaking, he opened the entire folded book and spread it on the coffee table, and the opening inscription of Yan Zhenqing's "Duobao Pagoda Induction Tablet" was not many words, and it read-

Tang Xijing Qianfu Temple Duobao Buddha

Tower induction inscription

Nanyang Cen Xun wrote the court council

Sentenced to Shang Shuwu Department member Wai Lang Lang

Yan Zhenqing's book is scattered

The husband inspects the school and the book is in the official Langzhong

The original ancient style of Xu Hao's inscription in the East China Sea is ★ vertically written from right to left, which cannot be displayed ★ at the starting point

The full name of "Duobao Pagoda Induction Tablet" is "Tang Xijing Qianfu Temple Duobao Pagoda Induction Tablet", the monument was erected in April of the 11th year of Tianbao during the reign of Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and it is the earliest inscription of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy in the current known calligraphy, which reflects the style of Yan's early calligraphy. The inscription of this stele is tight, the font is rigorous, neat, and the thickness of the strokes does not change much, it is Yan Zhenqing's work to inherit the tradition, and the style is close to Ouyang Xun.

There are many inscriptions in ancient China, but after hundreds of years of natural and man-made disasters, there are very few handed down, so the market of inscription rubbings has been high. Most of the carved stone tablets are placed in the open air, and it is difficult to avoid the invasion of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Natural disasters are irresistible, man-made disasters are the most pity, not to mention the wars of the past dynasties, countless "movements" to destroy the monument innumerable, some people want to be consumed by profit, and do not hesitate to destroy the monument after a number of copies of the monument, because there is no original monument of the rubbing is a lonely, and the value will be doubled.

The inscriptions are all stone, after the monument is erected, it can not be turned, but the wind direction is changing with the change of the season, due to the different stress points of the stele itself, plus the simple and complex handwriting, the thickness of the strokes, the stone quality changes and other reasons, a long time, the inscription of the same plane will occur different degrees of weathering. The intuitive feeling reflected on the stele is that some of the handwriting is clear, some of the handwriting is blurred, and the handwriting of the same stele inscription in different periods is very different, and some are missing words and some are missing strokes.

Tang Feng said: "The problem with your rubbing is that the font is dull, there is no charm of the face, and the difference between the clear and blurry handwriting is too great, there is no natural excessive feeling at all, the wind does not have long eyes, how can it be impossible to blow a word just when a gust of wind blows, right? "Chen Yan is very open-minded, and Tang Feng worked hard to create a relaxed atmosphere.

Chen Yan touched his head and said, "But I've tested it all." ”

Tang Feng shook his head and said: "Big brother, the rubbing can't just look at the quality of the paper, the counterfeiter can use the ancient paper tablet to extend, although the cost is a little higher, but compared to the huge profits of the fake rubbing, what is this? ”

Chen Yan said angrily: "I'm surprised, why did you pick up the leak when you came here, and there was only one left to make an eye when you came to me?"

Tang Feng said: "This is what I have been doing since elementary school, that is, rote memorization, my grandfather knew an old curator of the provincial museum, and he would take me to him every other year for exams. Everyone's specialty is different, and if you ask me to play with your carving art, I won't be dumbfounded, just dumbfounded. "It is estimated that he is another tomb robber, and he changed his career after liberation.

"Hey, don't mention carving, I still eat this line of food. Chen Yan said: "I was skeptical at first, but the seller said that Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy at that time had not yet formed its own style. I think it's supposed to be this reason, but you don't necessarily have to be a calligrapher as soon as you come out, right?"

"The font difference is only subtle, this carved water product is still quite high, you keep it, it's good to hang it on the wall. Tang Feng said, "Hey, by the way, how much did you spend to buy it?"

Chen Yan looked at the gate a little nervously, and whispered, "Six thousand eight." ”

Tang Feng also looked at the gate, and he asked, "Sister-in-law doesn't know yet, right?"

"What's the matter, the old man can still be afraid of his wife. Chen Yan said unashamedly: "I'm letting her, in case she wants to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, let the neighbors know how bad it is." ”

"Six thousand eight is not bad, I didn't lose much, just find a way to get it back. Tang Feng suddenly remembered what Chen Yan said on the phone in the morning, and he asked, "Hey, didn't you say that you found a good way, where?"

Six thousand eight is indeed not much, the value of Li Shizhi's official seal on the side that Tang Feng helped him buy last time far exceeded this number, Chen Yan said: "In Miyun, there is a road to be built over there, and it just happens to pass through an old Taoist temple, which is about to be demolished, I estimate that there can be something, go over and take a look." ”

Tang Feng really admired Chen Yan's ability to listen to the six roads, and this kind of news could also be received, he asked: "Cultural relics are owned by the state, we are not illegal like this, right?"

"Illegal? Chen Yan said: "We don't steal, we don't rob, we don't rob, we don't steal, we don't ”

Tang Feng said: "Cheng, then let's go for a trip in the afternoon." ”

At this time, Chen Yan and his wife came back, she carried a lot of vegetables and said to Tang Feng with a smile: "Brother Tang Feng, you sit down for a while, and I will cook for you." With that, she happily walked into the kitchen.

"Don't let her know!" Chen Yan and Tang Feng said in unison.

Miyun County is located at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains in the northeast of Beijing, with a long history, beautiful mountains and clear waters, praised as "Yanguo Tianfu" by the ancients, Miyun's tourism resources are abundant, the Great Wall is in an arc shape around the northeast of Miyun, the famous Great Wall landscape has the Simatai Great Wall, the Gubeikou Great Wall, the Wolong Mountain Great Wall, the Panlong Mountain Great Wall, and the Diluo Mountain Great Wall.

After lunch, Chen Yan and Tang Feng rushed all the way from Tongzhou District to Gubeikou Town, Miyun County, which is the gateway to Yanjing and has a prominent strategic location. The village they went to was not far from the intersection of the Beijing-Tong Railway, the Beijing-Chengcheng Expressway, and the Gubeikou Great Wall.

The big road is a small road, the small road is a mountain road, and now Tang Feng and Chen Yan are walking on the rugged mountain road, Chen Yan shook his head and said: "Alas, that kid's news is really ****** nonsense, where did this ghost place come from." ”

"I didn't see the Taoist temple, but I saw the relics. Tang Feng looked ahead and said with confidence: "And it's also an ownerless cultural relic." ”

"Where, since it's ownerless, let's move back. Chen Yan followed Tang Feng's gaze and looked forward.
