Chapter 358: Rare Treasure

Chu Jiaqiang picked up an ancient book, it was not paper, but silk, this thing looks old, right? There are a lot of words, and the other two books were taken away by Old Man Zhou and Old Man Hong.

As soon as Hong Lao saw the contents inside, he was immediately completely attracted to it, and looked at the words on the book blankly, with a look of excitement on his face.

"What the hell? I don't understand. Chen Wu stretched out his head and saw that the words on it were really ugly, a little messier than the doctors in the hospital.

Hong Lao suddenly glared at him, and then looked at Zhou Lao: "This is Huaisu's work." ”

Old Man Zhou was just about to open the book in his hand, and when he heard this, he immediately leaned over: "Huaisu? Make no mistake, right? Quite a few words"

"Ugh! Is Waisu famous? Chen Wu touched his head a little embarrassed.

"It's terrible to be uneducated! One of the top ten calligraphers in ancient China, two crazy grass masters, can you say that they are not famous? Zhou Furong glanced at Chen Wu with disdain.

"I said how to draw the same as a ghost! It turned out to be wild grass! Chen Wu didn't mind the other people's gazes either.

Huaisu, a native of the Tang Dynasty, was a good Buddha at an early age and became a monk. He is the history of calligraphy to lead a generation of coquettish cursive writers, his cursive is called "wild grass", with the pen round and powerful, so that the turn is like a ring, unrestrained and smooth, in one go, and another cursive calligrapher Zhang Xu in the Tang Dynasty is equally famous, known as "Zhang Dian Su madness" or "Bumpy drunken element". The "Self-Narrative Post" that has been handed down to this day is the first masterpiece of wild grass in the history of calligraphy, and has had a great influence on later generations.

Legend has it that Huaisu was young in the time of Zen, he loved calligraphy, poor and paperless, he planted more than 10,000 plantains for practicing calligraphy, and used banana leaves instead of paper. Since the residence is surrounded by banana forests, it is humorous to call the residence "Green Sky Temple". And use lacquer plates, lacquer boards instead of paper, diligent study, plates, plates are written through, write broken pen nibs are also a lot, buried together, named "pen mound".

"Huaisu is a very complicated person, say that he has been a good Buddha since he was a child, and he became a monk! But after leaving home, he had no intention of practicing meditation, and even drank and ate meat, and befriended celebrities. Zhou Furong said.

After reading it for a while, the two elders closed the book and exhaled: "Sure enough, it is his real work." ”

In fact, there are not very few authentic works of Huaisu, and the appearance of one here is indeed surprising, but it is not shocking.

"By the way, what's your origin?" Elder Hong looked at Elder Zhou.

"I haven't seen it yet." Zhou Lao opened it at this time, and the handwriting inside was just the opposite of Huaisu's book, every stroke and stroke was very formal, and it was a regular script of the authentic sect.

Zhou Lao's eyes saw this handwriting, and it was completely the same expression that Hong Lao had just now. Zhou Furong swept a seal below, and suddenly looked like a ghost, and exclaimed: "Liu Gongquan's work? ”

Hong Lao's expression froze suddenly, and he stretched out his head suddenly, the action was very funny, it was hard to imagine that this was the usual solemn Hong Lao.

Liu Gongquan is relatively famous, and many people know him. This person was also a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, good at regular script, widely studied from the Wei and Jin dynasties and the early Tang Dynasty, and was greatly influenced by Yan Zhenqing. Its book knot is tight, the strokes are sharp, such as cutting the nail and the iron, focusing on bone strength, the style of writing is charming and vigorous, which can be comparable to Yan Zhenqing's majestic and graceful style of calligraphy, and is praised as Yan tendon and willow bone by later generations. It has a great influence on the history of calligraphy.

"It seems that many of his works have been handed down, right? A lot of words: "Chu Jiaqiang didn't care too much." He is not a person in the antique industry, so he can't experience the mood of treasure hunting.

"There are indeed a lot, but most of them are inscriptions, and not many are written on paper."

"Valuable?" Chu Shengmin asked suddenly. He also can't understand these things, and he doesn't understand the value of these treasures, so he can only judge the value of a thing from the price.

"It's worth more than your pile of gold, anyway." Zhou Furong said with some taste. Why don't you have a decent heirloom in your own family, look at other people's, everything is a first-class treasure.

Hong Lao suddenly turned his head and asked Chu Jiaqiang: "Jiaqiang, where did you come from?" ”

Chu Jiaqiang flipped over the content and looked at it twice, there was nothing special, the font was very beautiful, it was a book, and the content was Huang Tingjing. Seeing this, he was a little puzzled, how could the ancestor collect this thing? It stands to reason that Huang Tingjing is a Taoist book, which was quite famous in ancient times, and it is precisely like this that this book is not unusual, there are many of them.

However, this is also good, and the books in the three fonts are also complete.

"It's nothing, it's just a copy of the Huang Ting Sutra." Chu Jiaqiang handed the silk book to Hong Lao.

"Huh? Silk? Hong Lao immediately opened it, and the font inside made his lips tremble, and he must have been shocked by the content inside.

Seeing Hong Lao's expression, everyone knew that the Chu family was not optimistic about it should be a rare treasure, otherwise Hong Lao would not be so out of shape. Zhou Furong and Zhou Lao's grandson also approached curiously and pulled Chen Wu away who was blocking the front, which made Chen Wu very depressed.

When Zhou Furong's two grandchildren saw it, they were also so shocked that they couldn't speak, their eyes were firmly fixed on the font on it, and the three of them were like puppets, and their expressions were quite consistent.

Zhou Furong looked at Chu Jiaqiang sharply and asked, "Boss, didn't you see the seal and payment on it?" Even if you haven't seen it, you should be a little enlightened when you see this kind of first line of books in the world! ”

Hearing the name of the first line of books in the world, people who have read the book think of a name that is like thunder: Wang Xizhi, a generation of book saints. The most famous, of course, is the "Lanting Collection Preface", which is known as the world's first line of books.

The most obvious feature of Wang Xi's style of writing is that the pen is delicate and the structure is changeable. Wang Xizhi's greatest achievement lies in increasing and detracting from the ancient method, and changing the simple calligraphy style of the Han and Wei dynasties into a delicate and beautiful calligraphy. In short, he introduced the writing of Chinese characters from practicality to a realm that focuses on technique and taste. In fact, it is the awakening of the art of calligraphy. It marks that calligraphers not only discover the beauty of calligraphy, but also express the beauty of calligraphy.

"Wang Xizhi's work? Really? Others also came over to see what the first line of books in the world looked like. I saw that its law was extremely strict, and its air was also easy, with a beautiful and cheerful attitude.

Speaking of this Huang Ting Jing, there is a small story. Legend: There is a scholar in Sanyin, who wants to get Wang Xi's calligraphy, because he knows that he loves geese, so he specially prepared a cage of fat and big white geese as a reward for writing scriptures. Wang Xizhi saw that the goose happily wrote a scripture for the Taoist priest for a long time, and happily "returned from the cage goose".

"What the hell did your ancestors do?" Zhou Furong glared.

"Ugh! Didn't you say that? Landowner. Chu Jiaqiang touched his nose. However, this answer even felt that something was wrong. A small landowner who has taken refuge in a poor countryside has treasured so many treasures.
