Chapter 419. "The Secret of the Single Knife of the Great Ming Cheng Zongyou"
Lin Yi's unintentional hand caused everyone to applaud in unison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEspecially those fans who came to the temple of Caishen for pilgrimage, they were even more delighted.
For them, hearing about Lin Yi's heroic feats at the Luoyang Antique Conference and the Jinling Forest Conference, what kind of scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Xuan, pointing at Luoyang, and shaking Jinling, all make people yearn for it.
In the applause, a bookstall owner who came to the Temple of Wealth from afar to set up a stall took the initiative to come to Lin Yi, holding a book in his hand and said to Lin Yi: "Mr. Jiuyang's book hunting, I have a manuscript here, which has been placed on this stall for a long time, but no one cares, I don't know if I can ask Mr. You to help palm your eyes to see if it is a good thing, so as not to be laughed at by some ignorant people I took a fake to sell it at a high price." ā
It turned out that the owner of this bookstall came from Zhejiang, and heard that the antique market of the Nandu Caishen Temple was very prosperous, so he brought a book from the bottom of his box, and wanted to rely on the prosperity of the market and sell it for a big price; Who would have thought that many people here don't even know the goods, and insist that their book is fake, a fake, and they still want to sell this kind of book for 30,000 yuan, so dream about it.
This bookstall owner is very aggrieved, if the price is high, no one can afford the price, but if he says that his book is fake, it will not be heard. Therefore, he didn't care about his face, and when he saw Lin Yi, a big celebrity in the book collecting industry, appear, he hurriedly stood up and asked him to help him correct his name.
Lin Yi didn't expect to encounter such trouble, seeing that the bookstall owner had red eyes, he was about to cry, as the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, it can be seen that they are really wronged.
So he took a look at the book, and couldn't help but laugh at it, no wonder people would say that this was a fake book, it was a pit father's goods, only to see that it was a manuscript, line binding, about 16 folios, and the title of the book read: "Da Ming Cheng Zongyou Single Knife Secret".
ā¦ā¦
If a beggar on the road tells you that the task of maintaining world peace will be entrusted to you, "This secret book of "The Palm of the Gods" is a priceless treasure, I think it is related to you, I will charge you ten yuan and teach it to you", will you be moved? Lin Yi, like many people, after watching the movie, he looked forward to this kind of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu"-style bridge many times and smashed it in front of him. God knows that the person holding the "Palm of the Gods" in front of him is not Hong Qigong, and he is not the second Guo Jing.
Of course, it's all good yy. "The Palm of the Gods" is not necessarily genuine, but there are martial arts "cheats" in history, and there are many of them.
Lin Yi has carefully read the ancient books since he fell in love with them, so he clearly knows that in the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful martial arts master is not the undefeated Dongfang who has learned the "Sunflower Treasure Book", but the first person in the Ming Dynasty martial arts--- Qi Jiguang.
Needless to say, Qi Jiguang is known to many people as an anti-Japanese hero during the Ming Dynasty, but at the same time, he is also a classical martial artist with outstanding merits. Generally speaking, he not only has kung fu personally, knows martial arts and knows how to train soldiers, but also knows how to arrange troops and adapt to the situation, and is a rare general in Chinese history.
In his early years, Qi Jiguang summed up the successful experience of military training and anti-Japanese warfare in western Zhejiang, and wrote the eighteen-volume "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness". The original version described all aspects of leading troops to fight in battle, from the selection of generals to the selection of weapons and the use of formations, which is a typical military book. But the fourteenth of them, "The Essentials of the Fist Classic", is a classic Ming Dynasty martial arts.
To say that it is classic, first of all, it is to use both pictures and texts. Of course, the previous martial arts literature also has written texts, and there are images of martial arts movements alone - the predecessors of Northwest martial arts scholars have tried to restore the form of "Dunhuang Boxing" through the content of the murals in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, but the supporting map has not appeared. The ancients did not have video records, so the importance of accurate images in martial arts is self-evident.
Although Qi Jiguang personally understands the category of kung fu, he doesn't attach much importance to personal martial arts in his heart. As he said at the beginning of the "Essentials of the Boxing Classics": personal boxing is only used to move the muscles and bones, "it seems that there is no pre-war technique", and it does not play a decisive role in the war. This opinion is more sober and objective than the martial artists of the world at that time. In the military world of the era of cold weapons, the so-called high personal martial arts and blocking a hundred with one is just a rhetorical way - how can it be possible to "block a hundred"! After the Great Wall was transferred to defend against the Mongols, Qi Jiguang revised the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and left a fourteen-volume edition, the most important of which was to delete this famous martial arts article "The Essence of the Fist Classic", because that text was not of much help to the military defense. This is the vision of the great military strategist.
And immediately following Qi Jiguang to become the first person in the Ming Dynasty martial arts, it was Cheng Zongyou, a native of Huizhou in the late Ming Dynasty.
Cheng is later than Qi Jiguang, and has also visited famous teachers. He put together his four martial arts works, "Shaolin Stick Method Interpretation Sect", "Kicking Zhang Heart Method", "Long Spear Method Selection", and "Single Knife Method Selection", and named it "Cultivation Surplus Skills" when it was published, to the effect that these kung fu are all skills after farming, and there is a light and light taste. In modern times, Zhou Youxuan, a native of Wuxing, Zhejiang, took the family collection version and reprinted it and renamed it "The Four Books of National Art".
Cheng Zongyou's "Selected Single Knife Method", the method is taken from the Japanese single knife, the knife is about three feet eight inches long, and the handle of the knife is also one foot two inches, which is a weapon that ordinary people do not seem to take advantage of today, but it was the most advanced tactics at that time. However, there is indeed a problem with the knife being too long, so the first formula of Cheng Zongyou's "Single Knife Method" is "you and I pull out the knife", which means that you pull out my knife, I pull yours, although it is reasonable, there is an inexplicable sense of joy.
This book of knife cheats classic knife moves is not numerous, but it has influenced many people who practice martial arts, and even in the modern fantasy novel, the master Huang Yi's "Looking for Qin", Xiang Shaolong used to create a two-handed knife to hold the knife, and the scene of the evil in the battle against the evil in the war drew on Cheng Zongyou's "single knife knife method" The actual combat theory.
ā¦ā¦
At this moment, Lin Yi looked at this manuscript "The Secret of the Single Knife of Cheng Zongyou of the Ming Dynasty", and understood why so many book buyers would say that it was a "fake".
It seems that people are too influenced by the movie, whenever they hear words such as "martial arts cheats" and "kung fu secrets", their first reaction is fake, but they don't know that "Cheng Zongyou's" single-knife knife technique does exist in history, unlike those martial arts kung fu movies, what "Sunflower Treasure Book", what "Nine Yin True Scripture" are all illusory.
Not to mention anything else, in modern times, in the 20th year of the Republic of China, Dadong Book Company once published the title of Ma Gongyu's book, edited by Cheng Zongyou, "The Diagram of the Single Knife Law". The market price of this book is about 1,600 yuan, and it is also a rare book of martial arts.
Looking at the manuscript in front of me, there is no clear date of copying, but judging from the paper and handwriting, it should belong to the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
Why? Because there is the word "Xuan" to avoid.
As long as you have read Jin Yong's "The Legend of Deer and Ding", many people will know that Kangxi is called Xuanye, and Wei Xiaobao calls him to be "Little Xuanzi", so in the generations after Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid Kangxi's "Xuan" character, he used a lack of pen and less strokes, or direct homophony, and fake words instead. And this became a common method for identifying the age of books from the Qing and Ming dynasties.
Since he roughly judged the age of the copying of this book, Lin Yi looked at the specific content again, compared it with the Republic of China version of "Single-knife Law Diagram", and then came up with the approximate price of this book.
Lin Yi turned around and said to the bookstall owner, your book is right, it is a hand-copied old book, but the price of 30,000 yuan is a bit high, the first is not copied by celebrities, there is no signature and seal, and the second copying handwriting does not belong to the most popular pavilion style in the Qing Dynasty, the handwriting is a little messy, it can be seen that it is not everyone's style, and the third is the most precious of this kind of secret book to achieve illustrations and texts, and the drawings inside are a little too general.
Therefore, the maximum value of this book is about 8,000 yuan at most, and if it is more, it will have to be carefully considered, but this is definitely an ancient manuscript, not a so-called fake.
Lin Yi's comment made the bookstall owner turn his worries into joy, saying that he didn't plan to shout the price of 30,000 yuan at the beginning, but he was angry that those who didn't know the goods were talking nonsense, so he shouted the high price. Now that it has been appraised by Lin Friends, it is enough to prove the actual value of this book, and I am satisfied.
After saying this, the bookstall owner didn't know where to get a pen, hoping that Lin Yi could inscribe the four big characters "Lin Yi Identification" on this manuscript.
Lin Yi really didn't want to use his own handwriting to destroy the original elegance of the book, but he couldn't bear the plea of the bookstall owner, so he finally had to pick up the pen and write "Lin Yi's identification" on the title page.
After getting Lin Yi's Mobao, the bookstall owner was ecstatic, and on the spot, the bookstall owner expressed his gratitude to Lin Yi.
Because of Lin Yi's "insight" to help make an appraisal, several collectors soon threw goodwill to the boss to buy the book, hoping to buy this martial arts book with Lin Yi's inscription for 10,000 yuan.
The owner of the bookstall smiled, this was identified by Friend Lin, and it was inscribed with his ink treasure, even if I hid it at home as a treasure, I would not sell it!
In this regard, Lin Yi was even more embarrassed, but he didn't expect that his inscription not only did not destroy the value of the book, but helped to appreciate it.
ā¦ā¦
Seeing that Lin Yi was so kind, at this time, some book hunters who liked to buy books had the courage to ask Lin Yi for the trick of "bookstall Taobao".
Lin Yi smiled slightly, and replied: "Learn more and read more, as long as you like books, then sooner or later you will be like me." ā
For them, Lin Yi has two huge rare book museums in Jinling, one is the Jiang Qingping Ancient Book Museum, and the other is the Lu Ancient Book Museum.
The two museums have a large collection of books, all of which are in charge of Lin Yi alone, and it is said that Lin Yi is already the undisputed collector of six products in the ancient book industry, and he is also the youngest collector.
What is the concept of a six-pin collector?
For many people who are not professional book collectors, it is very vague, but for those big bibliophiles, as well as the great scholars of the book forest, these six products represent your status in the ancient book world and your ability in the Tibetan world.
Liupin is a dividing line.
It is said that anyone who can achieve the status of the sixth grade in the ancient book world may be able to do so in the future---
Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall!
Think about it, what that would be like. (To be continued.) )
