Chapter 327: Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection
As soon as Zhang Hongying unfolded the scroll in his hand halfway, Ouyang Yue on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Tang Feng Chengsu's "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface"!! ā
Then there was a hint of doubt on her face: "The four words 'Jin and Tang Dynasty Heart Seals' at the beginning of "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface" are Qianlong's handwriting, although the words of this "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface" are very similar to Qianlong's handwriting, but I feel that there is a trace of imperial domineering missing!" ā
As Zhang Hongying unfolded the entire scroll, Ouyang Yue's brows furrowed: "That's not right! There is a problem with this "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface"! It lacks a lot of inscriptions and views, among which Ming Wang Peiyu's "Coral Net Book" is not in it! And I saw several very obvious traces of copying in this "Preface to the Collection of the Divine Dragon Benlan Pavilion", like this and this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info......, Xiaoxue, are you looking away! ā
Facing Ouyang Yue's questioning, Bai Xue smiled: "I'm not talking about this word, but about what is in it." Look at this! ā
After Bai Xue finished speaking, the holographic projector on the roof of the study room projected an image, which was this "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface". Slowly, only one layer of the "Divine Dragon Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface" in the image began to separate layer by layer as if countless papers were piled up together, Bai Xue explained: "I have scanned all the antiques I got this time, and I found something interesting in this painting!" ā
When Bai Xue spoke, the "Preface to the Collection of the Divine Dragon Benlan Pavilion" in the image had been divided into several layers, and another character was faintly seen in the middle. As the outer layers slowly became transparent, I could finally see the character in the middle.
This is another "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface"! However, compared with the outer "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface", it is much shorter, and there are not as many inscriptions, views and collections as the outer layer of the "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface", but there is a "Zhenguan" seal in it.
Bai Xue pointed to the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" in the image: "This is the result of my scan of this "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion Collection Preface". As you can see, there is another copy of the "Lanting Preface" in this "Shenlong Ben Lanting Collection Preface", and I used a nanoprobe to do an isotopic analysis for this "Lanting Collection Preface"! The paper and ink of the "Lanting Collection Preface" inside are from 350 to 360 AD, that is, the first year of Yonghe at the beginning of the "Lanting Collection Preface", and the last of the seals on it comes from the 'Zhenguan' seal from 610 to 630 AD. Combined with the historical legend that when Tang Taizong was alive, he put the "Lanting Collection Preface" on the side of the seat and watched it day and night, and brought it into the Zhaoling Tomb for burial after his death. ā
Zhang Hongying, Ouyang Yue, and Wang Lei widened their eyes when they heard this, and looked at the "Lanting Collection Preface" in the image in front of them, looking sluggish. Wang Lei was the first to calm down, he pointed to the "Lanting Collection Preface" in the video and said incredulously: "This is one of the famous masterpieces of the book saint Wang Xizhi, "Lanting Collection Preface"!? Or is it the real thing!! ā
"It shouldn't be wrong" Ouyang Yue also came back to her senses, she stared at the "Lanting Collection Preface" in the image and analyzed: "This "Lanting Collection Preface" has strong brushwork, peaceful and natural, the gesture is euphemistic and subtle, beautiful and beautiful, the strength of the pen is three points, and there is no trace of pause and copying, it should be Wang Xizhi's real handwriting!" ā
Wang Lei's eyes widened: "That is to say, Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" almost went to Japan!" Think about the fact that the Japanese actually transported Chinese cultural relics to Japan by train, and I don't know how many heavy treasures like the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" were transported to Japan in this way! ā
Bai Xue: "There must be a lot!" According to official statistics from 1931 to the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, 1,879 boxes of cultural property were plundered by Japan, and countless cultural relics were looted, with 3.6 million pieces of Japanese statistics alone. In addition, many museums in Kyoto also have collections of Chinese national treasures. In addition, many of China's national treasures were designated as "national treasures" and "important cultural properties" by the Japanese, and tourists were forbidden to take pictures. ā
At this time, Zhang Hongying, who had just recovered from the shock, sighed: "The things left by the ancestors have actually become the national treasure of the Japanese Kou, no matter how you think about it, I feel a little chilled!" ā
"That's it!" Wang Lei waved his hand: "What's so cold!" No matter how precious antiques are, they are not antiques, the most important thing is people, the four ancient civilizations are only our Chinese nation can continue to the present, relying on these antiques, but we have never forgotten where our roots are, who our ancestors are! ā
Zhang Hongying raised her head with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to be able to say these big truths." But ......" Zhang Hongying pointed to a circle of antiques around: "These are all left to us by our ancestors!" I'd rather them rot in their own land than be playthings on foreigners' desks! ā
Wang Lei sat next to Zhang Hongying: "Just ask them to help us keep it!" Rest assured! The plundered Chinese cultural relics, they always belong to us Chinese, and sooner or later these things will all return to the land of our descendants of Yan and Huang! ā
As soon as Wang Lei finished speaking, Bai Xue dismantled the stage on the side: "You seem to know what you said!" Do you know how many artifacts your country lost abroad after the war! In later years, major British museums and libraries collected about 1.3 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics, and more than 30,000 pieces of rare national treasures such as calligraphy and painting, ancient books, jade, pottery, porcelain, bronzes, and carvings. French museums and libraries have collected about 2.6 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics from previous dynasties, and the Louvre Museum has more than 30,000 pieces of Chinese cultural relics, including more than 6,000 pieces of painted pottery, Shang and Zhou bronzes and porcelain from primitive societies. Japan has more than 1,000 large and small museums, with a total collection of nearly 2 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics, most of which were looted by the Japanese invading army during the invasion of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Coalition and the Japanese War of Aggression against China. The Tokyo National Museum alone has a collection of more than 90,000 pieces of Chinese cultural relics. ā
Bai Xue continued: "I haven't counted your private collection yet, although the museum accounts for the vast majority of China's lost cultural relics, but the fine works have become private collections, I think if this "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" is sent to Japan, it will definitely become the private collection of the Japanese royal family, and there is absolutely no chance of seeing the light of day!" How do you think you want to get this batch back? ā
Wang Lei was taken aback by this huge number, he moved his dry lips slightly, and then whispered: "It's a big deal, I'll grab it back!" ā
Zhang Hongying pushed Wang Lei when she heard this: "Okay! You really think you are God! Now the little devils are still running rampant in China! If you really have the ability, you can go and drive the little devil out of China now! ā
Wang Lei suddenly stopped talking. If only the Japanese were so easy to get rid of!
