Chapter 82: The Nameless Monument
Xie Bin, a poor child who never went to college, looked at the boys and girls on campus, and was so envious in his heart. However, in front of Liu Wenqing, she still has to pretend to be a big brother.
Liu Wenqing didn't care much about Xie Bin's reaction, and was very excited to take Xie Bin around, and finally transferred to their apartment building. Uh, Xie Bin naturally couldn't go up, Liu Wenqing grinned, ran up to put the peanut package away, and ran down again.
But when she came down, there were two more little girls by Liu Wenqing's side, who seemed to want to see Xie Bin, but she was still a little shy, nodded at Xie Bin, and then ran away together. Xie Bin looked very happy, this is the little girl who has just entered the university, it is so cute, well, it is estimated that after their sophomore and junior years, they will become a different look.
The campus of Capital University is very large, Xie Bin turned around, and he turned a little around, even Liu Wenqing, the host, almost got lost, and he didn't go anywhere else in the afternoon, and ate a student meal in the cafeteria. Then she sat in Weiming Lake for a while, and the little girl grunted for a long time. At this time, Liu Wenqing, like her mother, can say that what she has seen and heard in school and what things are going on with teachers and classmates, she will say whatever she catches, it is estimated that she can't let go in front of her classmates, and she finally caught Xie Bin, an old acquaintance, and she couldn't stop it when she let go of the gate.
Finally, when Xie Bin was about to leave, Liu Wenqing took Xie Bin's arm and asked, "Brother Xie, when are you going back?" Tomorrow and Sunday, we are going to Badaling to play, so you can come together. ”
Xie Bin wanted to refuse, but looking at the girl's expectation, he nodded happily.
Liu Wenqing saw that Xie Bin agreed, cheered, hugged Xie Bin fiercely, and then waved her little hand and said, "Brother Xie, see you tomorrow." ”
Back in the hotel, Xie Bin stood at the window, looked at the busy streets, and secretly exhaled, thinking of his grandfather, thinking of Mrs. Yu, and thinking of himself, and his life, as well as Li Jingjing, and other people Xie Bin knew, he was a little distracted for a while.
Thinking of these people he knows himself, each of them has their own unique experiences and lives, and they all live with flavor and color. Thinking of these people and thinking about himself, Xie Bin was a little confused, and he didn't know if the path he insisted on was right.
Xie Bin refused Li Jingjing to help him invest, and also rejected Li Guohui's kindness, because he didn't want his life to become a pure life for money. But think about it again, if life is really like this and live like an old man, I am a little unwilling.
Suddenly, Xie Bin thought of his teacher, the old man who had played seal carving all his life. Thinking of the old man's life, Xie Bin's heart was enlightened. Perhaps, he himself can break out of the sky in the comprehension of art.
The next day, Xie Bin drove the car to pick up Liu Wenqing, but it was not only Liu Wenqing who got into the car, but also three other little girls who were Liu Wenqing's roommates. No matter whether the little girls are beautiful or not, at least they are willing to be young and lovely, and they sweetly call "Brother Xie is good".
Xie Bin could only nod, and then drove to Badaling. These little girls are also outsiders, and they haven't had much fun when they come to the capital, so they have planned to go to Badaling this week, but they just happened to grab Xie Bin's labor, and they also saved the ticket money.
Badaling is the most well-preserved and developed Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty so far, and has now become an amusement park area, in addition to the Great Wall, there are other related amusement facilities, people who come here every year do not know how numerous. Even the locals of the capital will also take advantage of Sundays to visit here. Therefore, there are more people and cars along the way, but fortunately, Xie Bin and them are relatively early, there is no traffic jam, and they have also found a parking space.
Along the way, the four little girls ran excitedly in front, Xie Bin followed behind with dry food and water, but they also had their own fun, and Xie Bin was also responsible for taking pictures, leaving countless photos. Today's weather is quite good, very clear, standing on the Great Wall, overlooking the mountains, there is also a little autumn color, murdering Xie Bin a lot of memory. If he hadn't brought his tools, Xie Bin would have even wanted to paint two paintings here.
Naturally, Xie Bin is not the only one who has this idea, and it is often seen that students from suspected art academies are collecting wind on the Great Wall. Xie Bin looked at it casually, it was only a novice stage, but there were some basic knowledge that he Xie Bin had never learned, which made him have a faint envy. It's a pity that the age of his school is already over.
That night, Xie Bin and the four little girls did not go back to the city, but found a hotel near the scenic spot to rest for the night, and deliberately got up early the next morning to watch the sunrise.
It wasn't until around four o'clock in the afternoon that Xie Bin walked back with the four girls. Fortunately, Badaling is only more than 60 kilometers away from the city, and you will be able to go back soon.
Xie Bin originally wanted to return to the island city directly, but he just thought about it, and it was really unreasonable to not go around much, saying that he hadn't even been to the Forbidden City.
The next day, Xie Bin squeezed onto the subway like a literary and artistic young man with a backpack, jeans, and tourist shoes on his back and went to the Forbidden City. As the largest and most complete museum in China, the Forbidden City has its own unique origin, from the gate to the windows inside. Xie Bin was attracted as soon as he entered the door, and the stone carved floor tile patterns and glazed beast tile carved window lattices that ordinary people don't pay much attention to are the focus of Xie Bin's attention. These inconspicuous things, when they were manufactured, were also made by the best craftsmen with the best skills of the whole country, and there were almost no flaws, which were the concentrated embodiment and peak level of domestic art at that time.
Seeing the place he liked, Xie Bin also took a lot of photos, but fortunately, it was a peripheral area, and it was not forbidden to take pictures. However, seeing Xie Bin shooting those ordinary stone carved floor tiles for doors and windows, many people were still curious to see Xie Bin.
Entering the inside of the Forbidden City, Xie Bin was really shocked, looking at the exquisite cultural relics, and there was an indescribable impulse in his heart. This is just an ordinary cultural relic, not a top national treasure, but that's it, it's enough for Xie Bin to worship. Sometimes, Xie Bin really can't understand why those craftsmen in ancient times who did not have a high level of science and technology can make exquisite objects that modern people can't make? There are so many cultural relics, sometimes so beautiful that you can't believe it.
It's a pity that some of them are forbidden to take pictures, and Xie Bin can only try his best to get over his eyes and firmly imprint those national treasures in his mind.
When he turned to the Imperial Garden, Xie Bin saw a small pavilion by a pond, as well as several stone benches and tables, and a stone tablet not far away.
The small pavilion has a strong Ming Dynasty style, but it has obviously been repaired, and can only be regarded as a modern antique building, and the stone benches and stone tables are also made of modern technology, but the stele is a real cultural relic. It's just that some of them are broken, and no one has repaired them when they stand diagonally. Xie Bin carefully squatted down and brushed away the soil on the stone tablet that he didn't know who had stepped on, revealing his original appearance.
Hundreds of years of wind and rain changes, the stele has left an indelible mark, there are scratches, cracks, and even traces of bullets, but it still stands there, wordlessly telling the unbearable years of the past.
The inscription is very simple, it is a poem "Fighting Hundred Flowers", written by Liu Yong, "The bright color is bright." Light haze low cage fragrant tree. The pond is shallow and dipped in smoke, and the curtain is idle. Spring is tired of sleepiness, throwing grass fighting, and snubbing the mood of going out. All day long. Far away hatred, Shujing is difficult. Young Fu Fan, where to sleep drunk. There is no one in the deep courtyard, the swing is dismantled at dusk, and the empty lock is full of flowers and rain. ”
This poem is not famous, in fact, Liu Yong has not written too many famous poems, but in terms of describing the feelings of children and the thoughts and lives of singers and dancers, Liu Yong has a lot of experience, and there are also some poems that vent their grievances and depression, which have a great impact on later generations. The most famous sentence is "I don't regret the gradual widening of the belt, and I will make people haggard for Yi".
The words on this stone tablet are lingering, and the inscription is also graceful, as if carved by a woman. But there is no payment, just a lonely poem, maybe it was engraved by a lonely concubine? Xie Bin didn't know, but it could be seen that the bottom of the lyricist's book was very thick, which made Xie Bin a little loved.
The main reason is that this inscription looks somewhat similar to Li Jingjing's characters, but it is much more clever than Li Jingjing. Xie Bin looked like it, took out his camera and took several photos, and at the end, Xie Bin straightened the stele and stepped on the soil with his feet.
When I turned around, I saw an old man standing behind me. Xie Bin coughed, smiled at the old man, and prepared to leave.
But he didn't want the old man to speak, "Young man, why did you come here?" ”
Xie Bin smiled, "Wandering around, are you always in trouble?" ”
The old man shook his head and asked, "How do you feel when you like that stone tablet very much?" ”
Xie Bin pondered, pointed to the treasured national treasures and said, "In comparison, that poor person is one, don't say anything." Indeed, whether it is this inscription or the woman who carved this inscription, they all end up in a situation where no one pays attention, and they are indeed pitiful.
The old man nodded lonely, "Alas, my old man is troublesome, young man, you should be busy." ”
Xie Bin smiled and nodded, turned around and left.
But I didn't expect that Xie Bin met this old man again in Panjiayuan the next day. The old man also strolled in front of Pan Jiayuan's stall and happened to bump into Xie Bin. The capital is so big and has such a population, and it has to be said that it is fate to meet in such two places.
The old man looked at Xie Bin and smiled: "Young man, come and sit in my shop?" ”
Xie Bin was a little surprised, he couldn't see that this old man actually had his own shop. Panjiayuan is a place where every inch of land is expensive, and he can play with a shop, and this old man is not an ordinary person. But there are really no good things on this stall, and it doesn't look like it's tasteful, so Xie Bin nodded, "Then it's troublesome for you to be old," he stretched out his hand and said, "You please first!" ”
The old man nodded, and walked towards a shop not far away with his hands behind his back, the name of the store is "Qiuyun Antiques", which is obviously also the hand of a famous artist, free and smooth.
Xie Bin followed in, and saw that the hall was mainly porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, and jade, but there were not many other things, there were a few fragments of coins and swords.
Xie Bin didn't know much about porcelain, so he focused his attention on calligraphy and painting. These calligraphy and paintings look pretty good, two of them are Huang Binhong's paintings, which look like they are still genuine, and there are a few works of modern people, but the level is also good, but I don't know what the price is. I don't think it's going to be cheap. In these antique shops, no matter how many there are, there will be a few real good items, but the prices are also outrageous, and some are even a few points higher than the price at the auction house.
This is also the way of survival of these antique shops, the real and the fake are all high-priced, you can pick good things to count as you have eyesight, don't blame anyone if you can't pick a good one. And the owners of antique shops are not worried about not buying and selling, especially in places like Panjiayuan, which is truly "open every day and open for three years".
