"In the Tang Dynasty, there was a person named Xi Nai, who was a famous ink maker at that time. The easy ink he made is famous all over the world. The three generations of grandparents have continued to operate, and the technology has been continuously improved, which is highly praised by the world. ”

Gao Dequan talked eloquently: "But later, due to the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Xi family moved to An/Hui/She/Zhou. At that time, there was a person named Xi Tingqi in the Xi family, who worked hard to innovate while inheriting the technology of his ancestors, and finally invented a new ink. This new ink glue does not deteriorate, the ink does not deform, and the quality greatly exceeds that of the ancestors, reaching the peak of the degree. ”

Later, this kind of ink was highly praised by Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and gave his national surname to the Xi Nai family. Since then, Xi Tingqi has changed his surname to Li Tingqi, and his ink, which is also the treasure in Chapter 37 that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, is called Li Tingqi Mo, or Li Mo. ”

Gao Dequan estimated: "After that, after dozens of hundreds of years, She/Zhou was renamed Huizhou. And Li Tingqi is also known as the founder of Huimo by later generations. ”

At the same time, Yu Feibai also said with great interest: "Legend has it that Li Tingqi is very particular about the materials used to make ink, such as pine smoke, pearls, jade shavings, borneol, and precious items such as lacquer, deer horn glue, rhino horn, musk, etc., which are pounded 100,000 times before they are made. ”

"Therefore, this kind of ink is as hard as stone, rich and greasy, shiny as lacquer, and can even be used as a knife to cut wood and paper."

Yu Feibai was very curious, looking at the ink ingot in Gao Dequan's hand, ready to move.

"If this ink ingot is really Li Mo, it can indeed be done to this point."

Gao Dequan groaned: "It is recorded in the history books that Xu Xuan, a famous minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, got a piece of Li Mo when he was a child. Then he read and used it with his younger brother, and he wrote 5,000 words a day, but it took him ten years. ”

"There is also a legend that a big official in the Northern Song Dynasty accidentally dropped a piece of Li Mo into the pond. It may be that this big official is too rich and thinks it is too troublesome to go into the water to fish for ink, so he simply doesn't pay attention to the treasure who is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in Chapter 37. In the second year, he dropped a more important thing into the pond, and immediately sent someone to salvage it, and fished Li Mo out as well. ”

However, after a year of soaking in the pool water, the piece of Li Mo is still as hard as ever, the surface is the same, and the luster is as good as new. At this time, the senior official realized Li Mo's preciousness and collected it as a treasure. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Dequan sighed: "As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, some people lamented that gold is easy to obtain, but Li Mo is hard to find. This shows the rarity and preciousness of Li Tingqi's ink. ”

"Uncle De, I have said so much, so this ink ingot, is it true or false." Yu Feibai was impatient.

"Wang Guan hasn't spoken yet, what are you anxious about?"

Gao Dequan hated that iron could not become steel: "I forgot again, I must be calm in everything." ”

Wang Guan was also shot while lying down, so he had to touch his nose and laugh dryly. It's not that he's not in a hurry, the main thing is that he already knows the authenticity of things, so he naturally seems calm.

"Didn't I say it, things are too precious to hold for sure."

After a sentence, Gao Dequan frowned and said: "Do you know how valuable the genuine Li Tingqi ink is." At that time, the Xi family migrated to She/Zhou (Huizhou), where there were old pine trees in Huangshan Mountain, which were the best raw materials for making ink. However, no amount of pine trees can withstand hundreds of felling. ”

Therefore, after Li Tingqi, after more than 100 years, the old pine trees in Huangshan are almost extinct. Those famous ink-makers had no choice but to change the process of ink-making again. Coupled with the descendants of the Li family, many people have entered the official career, and no one has inherited the ancestral business. Since then, Li Mo has been lost, and the less he uses it, the less he will be so precious. ”

Gao Dequan smiled bitterly: "Until the Qing Dynasty, it is said that Emperor Qianlong got a piece of Li Mo, but because his beloved has not been willing to use it, he stayed." Now, this piece of ink is preserved in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. This is also the only one recognized in the world as a genuine Li Tingqi ink. ”

"But now, another piece has suddenly popped up here, and you say how to call me hasty determination."

Gao Dequan sighed again, his fingers caressing the ink ingot, and a slight red tide appeared on his face. If this piece of ink is really Li Mo, then the first person to identify it will definitely leave a strong mark in the collection world.

"Uncle De, is there no definite way to distinguish whether it is true or false?" Wang Guan couldn't help but ask. After all, others don't have his ability, so he can't say that something is true, and he has to come up with convincing evidence.

"The color and texture, including the dragon picture and the blurred seal, including the text on the back, don't seem to be a problem."

Gao Dequan commented: "Especially the text, the sixth year of Xiande, mid-autumn, Gui. In the sixth year of Xiande, that was the name of Chai Rong of Later Zhou Shizong. This era name was inherited from Guo Wei, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, until Chai Rong's son Gong Emperor Chai Zongxun succeeded to the throne, and continued to be used. In other words, the emperor of the third dynasty of the post-three generations, for a total of seven years, has been using the era name Xiande. It was not until later that Song Taizu Chen Qiaobing/mutiny, the yellow robe was added, and the Later Zhou Jiangshan was captured, and the Yuan was changed to Jianlong. ”

Hearing this, Wang Guan keenly noticed that there was a problem and said in surprise: "Uncle De, since Li Tingqi is from the Southern Tang Dynasty, how can this ink ingot use the era name of the Later Zhou?" ”

"That's right." Yu Feibai reacted and nodded: "This is an obvious flaw, so Uncle De, you suspect that this piece of ink is not Li Tingqi's ink." ”

"It's not a flaw."

Gao Dequan chuckled and said, "In the future, you two will have to read more books." As early as the fifth year of Xiande, the Southern Tang Dynasty was beaten by the Later Zhou Dynasty to bow down and dedicate the land to the north of the river in order to draw the river as the boundary.

At that time, the reign of the Southern Tang Dynasty was not the famous Li Yu, but his father Li Jing. After being defeated by the Later Zhou, he not only called the minister last year, but also avoided the edge of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even moved to Hongzhou, which greatly damaged the power of the Southern Tang Dynasty and buried the disaster of death. ”

That is to say, in the sixth year of Xiande, the Southern Tang Dynasty no longer had an era name, and the era name of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was used. Until Song Taizu seized the throne and changed the Yuan Jianlong, the Southern Tang Dynasty also used the same era name. This is also the reason why historians call Li Yu the queen of Li, because strictly speaking, he is not an emperor, but a courtier of the Northern Zhou and Northern Song Dynasty. ”

Gao Dequan smiled: "So, there is no problem with the six years of Xiande. Not to mention mid-autumn, it should be the time for ink ingots to be made. As for this guy, it's interesting. ”

"If you don't know Li Mo, when you see this character, ordinary people will definitely feel that this is the biggest flaw. Or simply feel that this ink is not Li Tingjun's ink, but someone else's work. ”

However, according to the evaluation, Li Tingqi left behind the money. There are not only the full names of Li Tingjue, but also the two characters Tingjue, or a single word. Of course, this Gui is also included! ”

Gao Dequan explained: "In ancient times, Jue and Gui may be two words that are the same. That is, the so-called fake word, which is definitely not a typo. ”

"That said, it's real." Yu Feibai said in surprise.

"It's hard to say......"
