Chapter 53: The Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface

The Lanting Collection Preface is Wang Xizhi's most famous top-notch production, and is known as the world's first line of books. For thousands of years, Wang Xizhi and his "Preface to the Lanting Collection" have long become the spiritual well-being of Chinese literati, and have become an endless topic for people to talk about, which has lasted for a long time. But since Tang Taizong, he has become a mystery through the ages.

But without exception, Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection Preface is known as the first masterpiece of Chinese calligraphy, since ancient times, there are many people who copy it, among which Tang Taizong ordered Feng Chengsu to copy the dragon book "Lanting Preface" is the most famous. It is said that this ink color is the most lively, jumping on the paper, copying finely, drawing silk and reflecting the belt, delicate and complete, hundreds of words of the text, no word without drawing silk, pitching Na, more and not feeling its, its penmanship, ink, line, charm, are reflected, basically can glimpse the original style of Xi.

History records the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" 324 characters, each word has a different posture, circle and turn freely. The 20 "zhi" characters that appear on it have different postures and aesthetics, and none of them are the same. Mi Fu of the Song Dynasty said in the poem "Lanting": "Twenty-eight lines, three hundred words, the word 'of' is at most unprepared. ”

Before Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was praised. Liang Xiaoyan's "Evaluation of Ancient and Modern Scholars": "Wang Xizhi's book is majestic, like a dragon jumping over the gate of heaven, a tiger lying in the phoenix, so the treasures of the past dynasties will always be a training. Xie Jin also said in "Miscellaneous Descriptions of Spring Rain": "The Xulan Pavilion of the Right Army, the words are perfect, and you are good at arranging, the so-called increase of one point is too long, and the loss of one point is too short." ”

Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty wrote in the "Essay on Painting the Zen Room": "The right army's "Lanting Xu", the chapter is the first in ancient and modern times, and its words are all born with reflection, small or large, as you go, all into the law, so it is a divine product. ”······· No matter which dynasty in history, Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" is highly praised, known as the first ancient and modern calligraphy.

In front of Fang Qi, the font is like flowing water, chic and elegant, sparse and dense, and the layout is ingenious, which contains a very rich artistic beauty within the size, and can be the essence of the book. And the font is more delicate bones, dot painting beautiful, no matter horizontal, vertical, point, apostrophe, hook, fold, pinch, it can really be said that the pen is very good.

At the same time, each of the above words is different, but each is perfect, and every word on the whole article is ingenious, and it looks like a perfect masterpiece.

"This one is even more exquisite than the dragon book in the Palace Museum, and the paper on it, I think he is genuine." Fang Qi heard the voice and looked over, only to see an old expert looking at the calligraphy and painting on it, his face was full of excitement, such a thing, being able to reproduce in the world, is definitely the most shocking thing in the calligraphy world, compared to Fang Qi's Tang knife, it is definitely the gap between the big witch and the little witch.

"I'm still not sure, although this thing looks good, but I always feel that something is missing, and I don't think it's enough in terms of artistic conception." I saw another old expert looking at the Lanting Collection Order above, his face full of solemnity and doubt.

"I think it's true, I've seen how many celebrities imitate the Lanting collection preface, but there is absolutely no real painting, a word and a world, and the imagination of a leaf and a Bodhi of Buddhism, and the whole is smooth, without the slightest rigidity, I can't think of anyone who can reach such a realm."

"This is too arbitrary, it has been a thousand years, and no one has ever seen the real thing·····" A group of experts expressed their opinions, looking at the preface of the Lanting Collection above, everyone insisted on their own theories, after all, the significance of this painting is too great, and the slightest carelessness may affect the millennium.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think of this Lanting Collection Preface?" At this time, Lin Fengqing looked at the Lanting Collection Order above, although his face was full of obsession, he also maintained the most basic sanity, after all, his last Xuande furnace was a role model. This Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface was indeed better than any facsimile he had ever seen, and even his heart was inclined to be true, and the painting in front of him really shocked his heart.

"Good thing, if it weren't for the flaw he deliberately left, it would really be enough to affect the past and the present." Hearing Fang Qi's words, Lin Fengqing's face suddenly straightened, and he looked at Huang Lao, but Huang Lao also shook his head, indicating that he was not sure. This stuff is so realistic.

"Mr. Fang, is there anything wrong with this thing?" Looking at Fang Qi, his face was full of solemnity, if Fang Qi could point out the flaws, then Fang Qi's level would be too high. Even if Fang Qi's level had been predicted to be high enough, if Fang Qi was still so demonic, then he really had nothing to say.

Fang Qi whispered a few words in Lin Fengqing's ear, Lin Fengqing's eyes suddenly showed a trace of horror, looking at the things on the table, his nose twitched, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was looking for.

And Fang Qi slowly admired a pair of extremely realistic Lanting set preface, this painting, even if it is an imitation, but it is also an extremely precious one, you must know that even Feng Chengsu, Ouyang Xun's copy has not reached such a point, such a pair of Lanting set preface, the value will never be lower than that kind of celebrity calligraphy.

"There are really traces of medicinal use." With an exclamation, Lin Fengqing touched a position in the Lanting Order, his eyes were full of horror. And hearing Lin Fengqing's whisper, several old experts who were watching suddenly changed their faces, looking at the place where Lin Fengqing pointed his finger, although there was nothing on it, but as soon as they got closer, they suddenly smelled a strange smell, and they didn't notice anything just now, but thinking of Lin Fengqing's whisper, they instantly looked at the painting on the table in shock.

Several old men took magnifying glasses and carefully observed which place, and the more they looked, the more shocked several people became, and they looked at this painting with a pale face. Imitations, real imitations, such high imitations, they are all horrified. At the same time, they looked at Lin Fengqing, their faces were also full of respect, they didn't expect such an imitation, they could see it.

"Hahaha, what I say, Xiao Fang can see it." At this time, there was a big laugh, Fang Qi saw that it was Jin Lao and Liu Lao who were looking at him, and just now he and Lin Fengqing were also in their eyes, so they naturally knew that Fang Qi could see it.

"Jin Lao said with a smile, someone should have dipped it there with potion yesterday, and the smell has not dissipated so far, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see this flaw." Hearing Fang Qi's words, a group of old experts couldn't help but blush. They lay on it for a long time, and Fang Qi could see it just by looking at it, and at the same time, they looked at Fang Qi, and couldn't help but show a trace of surprise, when did such a rookie appear in the collecting world.

"Hehehe, Xiao Fang is modest, come, let me introduce you to this painting, this painting is an imitation of the Republic of China, and the author is Tianyi." Hearing Jin Lao's words, Fang Qi couldn't help frowning.

"Tianyi shouldn't be his real name, it's a code name, right?" Hearing Fang Qi's words, Jin Lao glanced at Fang Qi appreciatively.

"Yes, Tianyi is indeed just a codename, this is an organization, this organization specializes in imitating ancient calligraphy and painting, and this Tianyi is a special existence, Tianyi, Tianyi, Tianzi No. 1. This one day is dedicated to imitating the preface of the Lanting Collection, at least 100 pieces a day to write, more than 30 years of continuous insistence, the most Lu will leave the best one behind, and all the others will be destroyed, and the best imitation of Lu will be completed. Not only this Orchid Pavilion set preface, there are many such imitations, but most of them are abroad, and few are in China, which is the only one I have ever seen. ”

Hearing Jin Lao's words, everyone gasped, ten years of sharpening a sword, it is definitely a sharp sword. I didn't expect that this day would imitate a word for thirty years, such patience, even if a fool can imitate three points of charm, not to mention that this day is by no means a fool. Looking at this orchid pavilion collection preface, this is completely piled up by a person over the years.

"It's terrifying to write only this one for thirty years for this one word." Hearing Jin Lao's words, Lin Tian and the big head were extremely shocked, if they didn't say thirty years, even three days would be impossible.

"This imitation of the Lanting Collection Preface does not have the slightest flaw, but it is a pity that the charm is plausible, and the artistic conception is far from enough." When it wasn't revealed just now, they looked at this Lanting Collection Order to the extreme, but once it was revealed, it was all flawed, as if it had gone to a layer of fog-like shackles, revealing its true colors.

A third-rate swordsman has learned peerless swordsmanship, even if he is fierce, he can't match the basic swordsmanship performed by a master swordsman. The artistic conception is different, and the angle of view is different, this painting is more realistic than the preface of the Shenlong Benlan Pavilion, but the value is far inferior. In Fang Qi's heart, a million was already the top.

"Hehehe, it's a pity, how nice this painting would be if it were really." Hearing Liu Lao's sigh, Fang Qi immediately shook his head, the jade seal of the country, the Jiuding, and the Lanting Collection, these things are all important treasures of the country, but so far, their whereabouts are still unknown. Even those legendary artifacts are unattainable, let alone sought.

"Xiao Fang, let me introduce to you, this is Lin Mingxuan, Master Lin, it is the top jade carving master in China, you are the new jade king in China, you will inevitably have to deal with Master Lin when the time comes, Master Lin's craftsmanship is the top in the country, if there are good materials, Master Lin will definitely not ignore you."

"Hello Master Lin." Looking at Fang Qi, Lin Mingxuan's eyes were full of curiosity.

"You are the heir of Lao Li, okay, little guy, your last private seal was carved by me, if you have a good material in the future, you must find me, last time like your dragon stone species, Supreme Yellow, emerald and other materials can find me, hehehe." Hearing Lin Mingxuan's words, Fang Qi's face suddenly showed a trace of respect, he didn't expect that his seal was still from the old man's hand.

"Thank you Elder Lin, if there are good materials in the future, I will definitely look for you." Watching Fang Qi greet a group of old people all the way, each of these old people is a master-level existence, calligraphers, porcelain experts, purple clay pot masters, one by one, the names are shown, either experts or masters, each of them is not a simple character.
