Chapter 55 Do It Yourself, Have Plenty of Food and Clothing
After Chen Yihai left the "Lushun (Land Rover) car store", he took a car and went straight to the city center.
I came to an antique decoration called "Wenfangzhai", which specializes in calligraphy, painting, pen, ink, paper and inkstone
The antique jade, calligraphy, painting, sculpture and other decorations in the villa that Chen Yihai bought from Boss Huang have been moved away by Boss Huang.
If there is a lack of corresponding decorations in the villa, the villa will look incongruous, because Chen Yihai can't get so many accessories in a short time, and Chen Yihai doesn't want to trouble the Yue family, so Chen Yihai has to do it himself.
After all, you can have enough food and clothing by doing it yourself!
Chen Yihai came to "Wenfangzhai" because he wanted to buy some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and make a batch of calligraphy and paintings to decorate his villa
As soon as Chen Yihai entered, a young waitress greeted him.
"Hello sir! Welcome to Bun Zhai! How can I help you? The waiter said.
Chen Yihai said: "Hello! I want to practice calligraphy and Chinese painting, so I want to buy some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, paint, etc. However, I don't know much about these, so could you please help me introduce them. ”
"No problem. Please come here. In addition to dealing in calligraphy and painting, we also operate various grades of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. ”
"The four treasures of the study, that is, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, are unique writing tools in our country. Among them, Anhui is the hometown of the four treasures of the study, 'lake pen, Hui ink, rice paper, Yan ink', three treasures of the four treasures of the study are all from Anhui. ”
"The name of 'pen, ink, paper and inkstone' originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Historically, the things referred to by 'pen, ink, paper, inkstone' have changed repeatedly.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, 'pen, ink, paper, inkstone' specifically refers to Zhuge pen, Huizhou Li Tinggui ink Chengxintang paper, Jiangxi Wuyuan Longwei inkstone.
Since the Song Dynasty, 'pen, ink, paper, inkstone' specifically refers to Hubi (Huzhou, Zhejiang Province), Huimo (Huizhou, Anhui Province), Xuan Paper (Xuanzhou, Anhui Province), and Duanyan (Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, known as Duanzhou in ancient times). ”
"The origin of the lake pen is in Shanlian Town, Wuxing County, Zhejiang. The lake pen is exquisite, the craftsmanship is fine, the varieties are numerous, the thick one has a large bowl mouth, and the thin one is like an embroidery needle, which has the four characteristics of sharp Qi Yuanjian.
Pointed: refers to the tip of the pen like a cone; Qi: After the pen is flattened, Qi is like a knife cut; Round: the nib is round and full; Jian: The pen is erect and elastic.
The lake pen is divided into four categories: sheep, wolf, and purple; According to the size and specifications, it can be divided into four types: large and medium.
Lake pen, also known as 'lake ying'. Ying refers to a neat and translucent part of the tip of the pen, which is called 'sunspot' by the pen workers, which is the biggest feature of the lake pen.
After this kind of pen is dipped in black, the tip of the pen is still pointed, and it is spread out, and the hair inside and outside is neat and there is no short length. The goats in this area only produce an average of three or two pieces of wool, and the ones with Fengying are only six dollars.
A lake pen, each hair with a sharp edge on the tip of the pen is selected from countless wool of thick and thin, long and short, soft and hard, straight and flat, with the advantages of sharp and round, fine and sharp, and pure and durable hair. ”
"Huimo is produced in Tunxi, Shexian County, Jixi and other places in Huizhou. It has a history of 1,000 years. Huimo is made of pine as the basic raw material, infiltrated with more than 20 other raw materials, and refined.
The finished product has the characteristics of black color, firm and bright, not faint into the paper, long-lasting fragrance, rich fragrance and anti-corrosion, anti-moth, etc., suitable for books and paintings. High-grade Hui ink has super top lacquer smoke, tung oil smoke, special pine smoke and so on. ”
"Xuan paper is named because it was produced in ancient Xuanzhou. With a history of more than 1,000 years, rice paper production is mainly concentrated in Jing County. Xuan paper is famous for its thin texture, tough cotton, white and tight. With strong aging resistance and no discoloration as the biggest feature, it is known as 'millennium life paper'.
Xuan paper and pen are produced in Jing County, and have a long history of more than 1,000 years. The record of rice paper in historical books was first seen in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the calligraphy and painting critic Zhang Yanyuan wrote "Tears of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties"; 'A good thing is a good thing to have a hundred pieces of rice paper; Use it to prepare for copying. ’
This shows that the papermaking technology of the Tang Dynasty has been quite developed, and began to use rice paper for calligraphy and painting, but the production level is not high, and it is still necessary to 'use the method of waxing' before it can be 'copied'.
According to the "Old Tang Book", in the second year of Tang Tianbao (743 AD), Jiangxi, Sichuan, southern Anhui, and eastern Zhejiang all produced paper to pay tribute, and Xuancheng County offered paper particularly exquisitely.
When he arrived in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Chengxintang paper supervised by the later lord Li Yu. 'The skin is like an egg membrane; Firm as jade, fine and smooth, crowned in a moment', can be described as a fine product in rice paper.
Li Boshi, a great painter of the Song Dynasty, once painted a "Five Horses Picture" on Chengxintang paper, which has been famous for centuries. ”
"She Yan is one of the four famous inkstones in China. Because the stone is taken from the Longwei Mountain in the ancient Shezhou (now Shexian County), it is called Sheyan. She Yan has a history of more than 1,200 years.
She inkstone is tough, with the characteristics of fast inking, no damage to the pen edge, easy to wash ink, etc., among which the word "Jianrun" reflects the characteristics of Sheyan.
There are many varieties of inkstones, among which ribbed eyebrows are the top grade. She Yan began in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. According to the record of Tao Gu's "Strange Record" of the Five Dynasties, in the second year of Tang Kaiyuan, Xuanzong gave the prime minister Zhang Wenwei, Yang Sha and others the 'dragon scale moon inkstone', which is a more precious Venus inkstone produced in Shezhou.
It can be seen that the Yan Yan has been handed down for at least 1,200 years. Because the inkstone is covered with green and ying, the texture is meticulous, it is as smooth as jade, and the ink is silent, which is deeply loved by Li Jing, the Yuanzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so the inkstone is set up in Shezhou, and the inkstone master Li Shaowei is recruited as the inkstone officer; Specializing in inkstone making.
Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, called Chengxintang paper Li Tingmo Longwei Zaoxin Yan the crown of the world, which made the Yan famous and revitalized. At the end of the fifth dynasty, the war in the south of the Yangtze River was in turmoil, the inkstone pit was submerged, and the inkstone industry was declining.
It was not until the Jing period of the Song Dynasty that the school manager Qian Zhi went to She County to take up his post and sent people to find the flooded inkstone pit, so he took measures to dredge the stream, Shi Nai made a comeback, and the inkstone industry rose again.
Later, during the Jiayou period, migrant workers were recruited again to excavate. As a result, the production of Sheyan once again showed a prosperous scene, and high-quality products continued to come out, and a group of carved inkstone masters represented by Zhou Quan emerged. During this period, a number of monographs on Lingyan, such as "Shezhou Yanpu", "Sheyan Theory" and "Sheshi Identification" were also published one after another. ”
It seems that this waitress is very familiar with the relevant knowledge of the four treasures of the study, and she has introduced a lot of knowledge about the four treasures of the study to Chen Yihai.
Chen Yihai listened and nodded constantly.
When the waitress saw Chen Yihai's face, not only did she not have a trace of impatience, but listened to it with relish, so when the waitress introduced these relevant knowledge of pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Chen Yihai, she spoke more energetically.
Not only that, the waitress also told Chen Yihai some knowledge and skills of distinguishing between real and fake lake pens, Hui ink, rice paper, and inkstones.
Originally, these knowledge and skills of distinguishing the true from the false will not be easily told to others, but Chen Yihai is a rare good audience, and Chen Yihai is handsome, so the waitress unreservedly told what she knew about the four treasures of the study.
Chen Yihai couldn't have imagined that this ink-paper inkstone still had such a big knowledge, and this time it was a long experience.
By the time the waitress finished telling all her knowledge about the Four Treasures of the Study, more than half an hour had passed.
Chen Yihai did not disappoint the waitress, and finally bought hundreds of thousands of top-level pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and this time the achievement is equivalent to more than a month's salary of the waitress.
After Chen Yihai left the "Wenfangzhai", he carried the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he had bought for hundreds of thousands, Chen Yihai came to a nearby public toilet, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he put these pen, ink, paper and inkstones into the storage ring
After Chen Yihai left Wenfangzhai, he took a taxi and went straight to some stone quarries in the suburbs, bought a lot of marbles of all sizes, and then asked a truck to transport them to the side of the highway in the suburbs to unload.
After seeing that no one was paying attention, Chen Yihai received it into the storage ring.
After buying stones, Chen Yihai then went to the wood processing factory and bought a lot of precious wood, which was still pulled to the suburbs and then put into the storage ring
Chen Yihai then went back to the villa, and at this time the jade shop had already delivered the rough stones purchased by Chen Yihai to the villa. After inspection, Chen Yihai found that the jade shop did not do anything to replace the rough stones purchased by Chen Yihai.
Fortunately, no jade shop dared to replace the rough stones that Chen Yihai bought, otherwise Chen Yihai would not mind visiting his jade shop at night.
Chen Yihai put the rough stone that he had moved to a room in the villa into a storage ring before leaving the villa
By the time Chen Yihai returned to his residence, it was already getting dark.
In order to buy these top-quality pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and precious wood, Chen Yihai has made a lot of money today, and the remaining net worth is only more than 200,000 yuan.
However, the ornaments made of these materials that Chen Yihai bought at a great price were enough to decorate Chen Yihai's villa.
Chen Yihai also suddenly changed from a rich man with a net worth of tens of millions to a small bourgeoisie with only 200,000 because he bought these materials.
