I hurriedly gave Uncle Wu a look, and Uncle Wu stepped forward and said to everyone: "The celebration ceremony is over, and everyone can watch the treasure appreciation meeting freely!" ”

As soon as Uncle Wu said this, the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed.

Naturally, I will have to accompany Brother Du to visit this treasure appreciation conference.

As soon as Brother Du and I walked into the courtyard, we were attracted by the two "Red and White Hibiscus Pictures" hidden in the glass window, these two paintings, one for the red hibiscus, the other for the white hibiscus, both paintings are in the upper left part of the picture inscription: "Qingyuan Ding Si Sui Li Di Painting", this is the famous work of Li Di, a flower and bird painter in the late Northern Song Dynasty and early Southern Song Dynasty, and it can also be called the first famous work of flower and bird painting in the Song Dynasty.

The flower in this painting is a drunken hibiscus, which is initially white and then gradually oozing red. These two paintings are extremely realistic, with slender brushes and subtle color levels, and the good use of the white picture space also seems natural and quiet, which makes this painting rich in a lot of unique interest over time.

After watching it, Brother Du was amazed again and again, and the masterpieces of this generation of calligraphy and painting are really extraordinary.

While the big guy was still amazed by the painting, Brother Du's eyes were already attracted by the porcelain in another window.

I also followed and looked over, and what Brother Du looked at was a pair of unique products in the porcelain of the Song Dynasty Jianyao - Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl.

The so-called Yao Changing Tianmu refers to the small gray or black spots that appear on the black glaze, and the spots are surrounded by a silver-blue halo.

This kind of Yaobian Tianmu and Inaba Tianmu are both black glaze kiln transformation products fired by the Song Dynasty.

This is regarded as the supreme treasure in the history of pottery in China and even the world, and the pair of Yaobian Tianmu tea bowls in front of me is the best of the best, and there should be no second pair in my impression so far.

Brother Du stood in front of the glass window and watched carefully, causing the onlookers to be amazed.

Brother Du looked at the tea bowl and muttered: "If you can see this peerless treasure in your lifetime, even if you die, it will not be in vain!" ”

I laughed and said, "Big brother, look at what you said, if you like it, after today's celebration, I asked my father to give you a few!" ”

As soon as Brother Du heard me say this, he immediately said solemnly: "Tiancheng, how can this be?" Even though I love this antique calligraphy and painting, but the wealth of a gentleman is taken in a good way, if I take your things today, what is the difference between me and those officials who are clever and robberous? Didn't you put my eldest brother and me in the position of being corrupt, disloyal, and unjust? Don't say that again! ”

Brother Du's righteous words caused the onlookers to applaud, and at this time, it seemed that I was the kind of person who acted in Bud Tho.

Just now, I was careless and said this kind of thing, didn't my friendship with Brother Du value the other party's upright chivalry? This will really be too negligent on my part, maybe this kind of thing is just a laugh when we talk about it on weekdays, but at this time, Brother Du, as Lord Qincha, is coming as an official official, and it is inevitable that there will be a bit of insinuation when he says this.

When I was still deeply blaming myself, Brother Du had already happily come to a bronze statue.

I saw the bronze connoisseur standing next to him say to Brother Du: "Forgive Xiao Ke for being reckless, does Lord Du know the origin of this artifact?" ”

Brother Du looked at it carefully and said, "I only know that this bronze vessel is a wine container in the Shang Dynasty, what is the origin...... I don't know anything! ”

The gentleman-like master connoisseur said, "My lord, listen to me slowly! ”

The name of this utensil is "Tiger Eating Man Halo", it is indeed the wine vessel played by the royal family and nobles in the Shang Dynasty, and this thing was originally the national treasure of the small northern country of the Shang Dynasty.

When the treasure master said this, everyone was stunned in place, regardless of the quality of this bronze, there were already very few people in this ghost country who had heard of it, let alone this treasure, everyone's curiosity could be imagined!

Everyone stared at the treasure master intently and continued.

Master Jianbao sold it leisurely and calmly, and then said slowly.

During the period of King Wuding of Shang, the northern ghost country often burned and looted everywhere in the territory of the Great Shang, taking the opportunity to encroach on the land of the Great Shang. At that time, the Shang Dynasty queen woman Hao was ordered to conquer the Ghost Fang Country in the north, the Ghost Fang Country saw that it was invincible, in order to please the Heavenly Empire, she dedicated this thing to the Shang Dynasty Queen Woman, but the war was still not avoided, the woman Hao led the Shang Dynasty army to exterminate the Ghost Fang Kingdom, and dedicated this artifact to the Shang King Wuding.

Since then, this tiger cannibal has become the royal object of the Shang King Wuding!

After the treasure connoisseur finished speaking, everyone was amazed, they didn't expect that such a valuable treasure could be preserved so intact so far, and it was still the royal thing of the king of a country, which was really not small.

Speaking of the Ghost Fang Country and the good woman, it reminds me of the mysterious female general in Suide County and the white shadow of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.

Yes, everyone knows that the empress of the Shang Dynasty fought in the north and south all her life, and made great contributions to the expansion of the Shang Dynasty. But a few people know that behind this generation of wise and martial queens there is an unknown unforgettable thousand-year-old relationship, at this moment I really want to tell everyone about this unforgettable relationship, but look at everyone now pay attention to this tiger cannibalism, and even if I say it, how many people will believe it?

People tend to believe only the official high-sounding books of lies!

Since this is the case, let a love affair be hidden in the long river of history forever, and I hope that this lovers will always be able to stay together for life and not be disturbed by the eyes of the world!

After thinking about it so much, I haven't looked at this Shang Dynasty bronze carefully, so I observed it with Brother Du.

This tiger cannibal shape takes the posture of a tiger and a man hugging each other, and the idea is peculiar. The tiger's hind feet and tail support the body, and at the same time form the three legs of the skull. The tiger's front paws hold a person, and the person squats towards the tiger's chest. A pair of bare feet stepped on the tiger's claws, and his hands reached out to the tiger's shoulders, and the tiger wanted to open its mouth to eat the man's head. The end of the tiger shoulder is attached to the beam, and there are animal heads at both ends of the beam, and the beam is decorated with an elongated pattern and a thunder pattern on the backing. The upper part of the tiger's back is an oval mouth, with a cover, a deer stands on the cover, and the cover is decorated with a curly tail pattern, and it is also based on a thunder pattern, which is consistent with the body. The tiger's ears are erect, and its teeth are very sharp. The surface of the vessel is mostly black, with a thin layer of green rust left in some parts, and it is the same as many bronzes of the late Shang Dynasty, with many ornaments and beasts as the theme, but it is a little more weird, which to some extent shows the idea that man will conquer the "sky".

Personally, I think that the "heaven" here does not mean the sky, thinking about the origin of this artifact, it is not difficult to imagine that the "heaven" here refers to the heavenly kingdom - the Shang Dynasty.

Throughout history, the kings of all dynasties have liked to call themselves the Son of Heaven, and these small peripheral states have dreamed of defeating the Celestial Empire and ending the fate of years of tribute.

Of course, the long river of history proves that the ideas are very rich, the reality is very cruel, and there are almost very few people who can succeed.

Everyone followed the treasures behind Lord Qincha one by one, and this would have come to a piece of jade.

As soon as the onlookers stopped, they made a sound of surprise again and again, and it seemed that everyone was really eager to stop this jade carved horse.

Brother Du became interested for a while, and said to me: "Tiancheng, come and take a look, this jade horse is really the best in jade!" The whole horse is carved with a whole piece of jade, carved and carved, the jade is yellow-green, the whole body is transparent, and you can vaguely see the opposite side, which is the best in the jade! Look at this carving technique again, the carving technique uses the 'Han Eight Knife' and 'Gossamer Hair Carving' technique, so it seems that it must be Xiuyan jade in the Han Dynasty. ”

Brother Du said that the "Han Eight Knife" and "Gossamer Hair Carving" are two very distinctive carving techniques.

The so-called "Han Eight Knife" should have two meanings: first, it describes its knife work as concise and rough, as if it were eight knives. Second, because the knife is symmetrical, the left and right slots form the effect of "eight" after playing the knife.

"Han Eight Knife" is actually a kind of oblique grinding process. The oblique grinding process has been very popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and its process should be to deflect the stone at an angle and use its side blade to drive the wet jade sand to roll, so that the line marks show a deep slope and a shallow slope. Therefore, later generations also called it the "one side slope" technique. Due to the different reflections of light at the bottom of the yin line groove, the slope and the plane where the instrument is located on the surface of the "one side slope", the brightness of each of them is different, thus highlighting a strong sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality, so it has been used in many successive dynasties.

And "gossamer wool carving" is a kind of fine line carving technique popular in the Warring and Han dynasties.

This kind of thin yin line is shaped like a hairspring, as thin as a hair, tactful, smooth and strong, also known as "gossamer carving" or "jumping knife". Its characteristics are as described by Gao Lian of the Ming Dynasty in "Yan Xianqing Appreciation Notes": "The Han people ponder, the magic lies in the double hook, the grinding method is like a flow of flow, fine into the autumn, and there is no sparse and uneven, the handover is intermittent, like a gossamer white drawing, without any stagnation." ”

Brother Du has no time to talk to me, and he has long been attracted by this peerless treasure and can't extricate himself.

I also looked at it curiously, the whole jade horse galloped on all fours, the horse's sideburns were clearly visible, the body was strong, and the legs and feet were strong and powerful. The horse's face is round with sharp ears and nose, the horse's head is low, the horse's neck is arched, and the horse's mouth is wide open, as if it is gathering a thousand strengths, just waiting to take off in the air. The jade is finely carved, the composition is ingenious, the overall image is full of dynamics and aura, majestic and bold, it is really a unique jade masterpiece in the world.

After admiring for a while, Lord Qincha reluctantly left this jade horse, because there are still a lot of treasures below, each of which can amaze the audience, so it is impossible to play with each one carefully in a day, so I have to witness it first, and enjoy it.

Sure enough, before he had taken a few steps, a calligraphy work placed in a glass cabinet blocked everyone's sight, and Brother Du, who was walking in front, saw this calligraphy work and said firmly: "Impossible!" It's impossible! ”

I was wondering what Brother Du was saying that it was impossible, so I approached the crowd and saw that it was nothing else in the window, it was Wang Xizhi's "Funeral Post" Juan's copy!

Speaking of this "funeral post" is really known to everyone, no one knows, is the calligraphy treasure of the sage Wang Xizhi's pen second only to the "Lanting Collection Preface", but unfortunately the real work has long been gone, and the only thing that remains in the world is the legend of the Tang Dynasty's copy of the paper, it is said that it was brought back to Fusang by the Tang envoy of Fusang at that time, and there has been no trace so far.

But is the "Funeral Post" in front of me real or false?

It is not necessary to imitate or copy someone, and the experts present at the scene have exploded for a while, which is more eye-catching than discovering the dragon and phoenix and even the strange beast!

When the voices were noisy, Uncle Wu happened to pass by here, and when he saw everyone so confused, he laughed.

Everyone looked at Uncle Wu in confusion.

Uncle Wu came over and said to everyone: "Don't be impatient, if you want to know the truth or falsehood, I will tell you a story first, and then ask the Mobao experts on the scene to identify it!" ”

When everyone heard Uncle Wu say this, the scene that was still chaotic just now instantly quieted down.

Uncle Wu cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of this silk copy of "Funeral Post", it is really a bit tortuous. This "Funeral Post" was bequeathed to me by a member of the Li family! ”

Uncle Wu's statement caused a sensation on the field again, this peerless treasure doesn't even have a chance to show it to others on weekdays, let alone give it to others, I don't believe who is killed by this practice!

Seeing this, Uncle Wu continued: "According to the people surnamed Li and me, their ancestors were the administrators of Chang'an City in the late Tang Dynasty, and their ancestors had dug up many imperial tombs because of theft, so they got a lot of treasures from the imperial tombs.

And this "funeral post" is a treasure obtained by an accidental tomb robbery, their ancestors got this thing, carefully studied and observed, only to know that this thing is valuable, in order not to let outsiders know, causing the disaster of killing and affecting the descendants, his ancestors secretly handed over this thing to a son born to himself and the maid, since then the illegitimate son of the person surnamed Li has disappeared in the rivers and lakes, and has never appeared in the world again.

Maybe the ups and downs of the year have already become a touch of loess, but this treasure has been quietly passed down from generation to generation by the heirs of the person surnamed Li, I once asked about the name of their ancestors, the person surnamed Li is hesitant, vague and unwilling to say it, and finally I have no choice but to give up!

After Uncle Wu said this, everyone shook their heads suspiciously, feeling very uncredible, there are so many people surnamed Li in the world, and they have experienced the change of several dynasties, has not been discovered? Plans to be sold by him, do you have to wait until your Wu shopkeeper arrives to give it to you? A series of questions caused the audience to discuss.

I also find it a bit unconvincing.

Seeing this situation, Uncle Wu seemed to be expected, and said to the people present: "Don't panic, everyone, and listen to me continue the story!" Before I tell the story, I first want to ask you a question, whose work is this "Funeral Post"? What dynasty last appeared in history? ”

A slightly knowledgeable man shouted, "What's so hard about that? "Funeral Post" is from the hand of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the last time it appeared was when Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty! ”

When everyone heard this person say this, they all nodded in agreement!

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "What this brother Tai said is very true, so naturally everyone has heard rumors, saying that it is the legend that the paper copy of "Funeral Post" was sent to Fusang by Tang envoys during the period of Tang Taizong, right?" ”

After Uncle Wu finished speaking, everyone said nonsense: "Yes, there is such a legend, but how credible can the legend be?" Aren't you talking nonsense? What kind of evidence is this? It seems that your shopkeeper Wu also has big words, and this kind of statement may not be convincing to everyone! ”

Uncle Wu said helplessly: "It's common sense for everyone to think so!" But if you think about it carefully, Tang Taizong Li Shimin admired Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much, and loved it even more, how could he easily give up this priceless treasure "Funeral Post" paper to Fusang Kingdom?

Countless times in one place, everyone present was stunned, this question is indeed an indisputable world, it seems that only the people of Taizong can tell the beginning and the end!

Uncle Wu continued: "According to the oral tradition of the ancestor surnamed Li, Taizong was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis at that time, and he couldn't tell if he had any suffering!" In fact, he was deceived by the rhetoric of those treacherous envoys of the Fuso Kingdom, and this decision was made on the spur of the moment! ”

As the Celestial Empire, since the Celestial Empire has promised to give this calligraphy treasure to the barbarian foreign countries, it cannot be untrustworthy, and has to be presented to the envoys of the Fusang Kingdom, but this "Funeral Post" is the heart of Taizong, how can he give it up, and finally when he is in a dilemma, the minister Yu Suiliang offered a plan: why not copy a paper copy of Taizong and send it to Fusang Kingdom, so that the authentic work can be permanently left in his hands.

Taizong was overjoyed, and he was just anxious about the process of things for a while, but he didn't think of the reason for the matter, how could the envoy of Fusang Kingdom see such a calligraphy treasure, so he couldn't necessarily see it when he copied it. So Taizong found the best calligraphy master of the court at that time to copy, after several months of careful study and copying, the paper and the silk book are almost identical, so Taizong generously gave the paper to Fusang.

Everyone may have heard that Wang Xizhi's other masterpiece "Lanting Collection Preface" also appeared for the last time in the era of Tang Taizong, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin's love for the book saint Wang Xizhi can be said to be extremely crazy.

According to rumors, after Tang Taizong deceived the "Lanting Collection Preface" from the discerning monk, he ordered people to copy more than ten copies and distribute them to the princes, nobles and civil and military ministers, and made an edict to put the true copy of the "Lanting Collection Preface" under his pillow after his death.

But people are not as good as the sky, a hundred years after Taizong, the bones were not cold, and they were hidden by Tang Gaozong's son Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong is also very fond of calligraphy, and finally rebelled against the emperor, and privately seized the "Lanting Collection Preface", so that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wen Tao did not find the "Lanting Collection Preface" when he excavated the Zhaoling of Tang Taizong.

Among the mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty, only the Qianling Tomb where Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were buried has not been stolen and excavated so far, and the "Lanting Collection Preface" has never appeared in the world with the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, which is enough to show that the "Lanting Collection Preface" is likely to be buried in the Qianling.

When Tang Gaozong Li Zhi disobeyed his father's last words and got his father's favorite "Lanting Collection Preface" and "Funeral Post", he always felt ashamed of the emperor and ashamed of being a son of man, so after a difficult ideological struggle, he left a more outstanding "Lanting Collection Preface", and finally endured to bury the silk copy of "Funeral Post" and Tang Taizong in Zhaoling.

Everyone should be very clear by now, whose hand should this "Funeral Post" silk copy be, right? ”

Brother Du thought for a moment and said: "According to Shopkeeper Wu, the silk copy of this "Funeral Post" should be in Wen Tao's hands?" ”

Uncle Wu arched his hand and said, "Master Du is really talented!" ”

That's right, the silk copy of this "Funeral Post" was stolen by this Wen Tao.

And everyone knows that Wen Tao's family name is Li Yantao, who is a native of Liang in the fifth generation, and Wen Tao was scolded by the people of the world for his crazy theft of the imperial tomb in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Wen Tao also knew that he was guilty, in order not to implicate future generations, his descendants have always taken the surname Li as his surname, first, for fear of revenge from the Tang clan, and secondly, there is a sense of atonement.

So the reason why the person surnamed Li I said didn't say the name of his ancestor was because he felt that the ancestor had done something that made the world sneer, and he didn't have the shame to mention it again.

After hearing this, Brother Du said thoughtfully: "If you say that, this is also reasonable?" But why did the person surnamed Li suddenly want to give you this priceless treasure? ”

Uncle Wu said: "Lord Du, you don't know, this family surnamed Li has lived in seclusion in the depths of the mountains for generations, and rarely interacts with outsiders, and knows very little about things outside!" ”

According to the person surnamed Li, since their ancestors in the Li family came to his time, every adult man did not live to be thirty years old, even if he was a strong person, when he reached the age of thirty, he got a strange disease, his whole body ulcerated, and within a few months, he was only left with skin and bones, which was miserable.

This strange thing has been going on for dozens of generations, and they all think that it is a curse of the Imperial Tomb, and they have hidden something in the Imperial Tomb in their hands.

In his age, in order not to let this terrible curse continue, he wanted to destroy this thing, but if this priceless treasure was destroyed, it would be disrespectful to the sage of the book, and disrespectful to all the literati and writers in the world.

Coincidentally, in the early years, I often walked through the villages and alleys, and often went to some remote and desolate mountains to collect treasures, because the treasures in the mountains are relatively well preserved, and the villagers are simple and kind, even if you want to buy his things, they also need very little silver taels, unlike the current flowery capital, as long as it is a little valuable thing, you want to sell it for a sky-high price, and then fantasize about getting rich overnight, and the psychology of getting rich for nothing is really too common.

Let's continue to talk about the Li family in the depths of the mountain!

One day more than ten years ago, I hiked through the Qinling Mountains alone, but for some reason it rained heavily in those days, the fog of the mountains made me lose my way in the mountains, I don't know how long I walked in such fog, and finally because of the gradual exhaustion of physical strength, I accidentally slipped to, but I never wanted to fall into a strange valley, and when I woke up, I was already lying in the home of the person surnamed Li.

I haven't seen outsiders for a long time, they are curious and scared of me, I am also regarded by them as a god of the outside world, every day of delicious food and drink to worship me, after a few days of observation, I found that their thoughts are still stuck in the Song Dynasty, I was very shocked at that time!

Later, I slowly talked to this person surnamed Li, and it turned out to be a harmony of love and righteousness, and I hated to see each other late!

During the chat, the person surnamed Li told me a lot of stories about their family, and I also told them a lot of things about the outside world, and the person surnamed Li was both envious and afraid! But he never thought that the person surnamed Li was like an omen's curse, his body slowly festered, and within a few days, he was as thin as firewood!

I was so shocked that I asked him the cause of his illness!

When the person surnamed Li was dying, he told me everything 1510, and also took out this "Funeral Post" so that I must keep it well, so that the ink treasure of the ancestors can continue to be passed on, and finally he sent their people to send me out of that valley!

After Uncle Wu finished speaking, everyone felt that this statement was still more credible, and it seemed that this "Funeral Post" should be authentic.

I don't care about this, I can put it on display here, I believe that Uncle Wu has done countless careful research, and it will definitely not be fake.

I'm very concerned about the consequences of that person surnamed Li.

So I asked Uncle Wu, "What happened to the person surnamed Li?" ”

Uncle Wu said: "I'm ashamed! More than a decade has passed since I was sent away, and I haven't been back. A few years ago, I occasionally passed through the Qinling Mountains, and I thought of them, and I walked in the way they sent me out before.

But the scene that appeared in front of my eyes made me still dare not recall: that small village has long been devoid of any breath of life, the graves all over the mountain have been cut to the ground, and the bones of people are gnawed everywhere by wild wolves, I was so panicked that I left in a hurry, presumably the man surnamed Li still failed to escape the curse punishment in the end! ”

After listening to Uncle Wu's words, my back couldn't help but chill, this story really corresponds to the idiom of "heavenly retribution", thinking that Wen Tao dug up other people's ancestral graves, and finally led to the short life of his children and grandchildren, and finally ended up in a miserable situation with no bones left, it is really not miserable, it can not be said endlessly!
