The so-called Song carving book of the stall owner in front of him is indeed a little too tattered, and even the cover is gone, so what kind of book it is, or whether it is a real Song carving book, can only be known after reading it.

Chu Chen carefully opened the paper that seemed to be about to fall, but what made him quite speechless was that the handwriting on the first few sheets was blurred because of the dampness of the paper. However, judging from the paper of the book, it is very likely that it is indeed a Song carved book.

Finally turned to a place where he could see the handwriting clearly, Chu Chen was even more speechless when he saw it, only to see that it was written, "Mr. Dacheng's name is Hao, the word is Bochun, and he is an official with a jinshi." is offering the public as the ...... of Zhongcheng", and there is "the twenty-first year of the Duke of Xingyang, when the minister is offering the envoy to Taixue, in Mr. Hu's seat ......".

This is obviously "Tong Mengxun"!

Tong Mengxun, also known as Lü's Tong Mengxun, consists of three volumes and is a Tong Meng textbook written by Lü Benzhong in the Song Dynasty that focuses on ethics and moral education. In addition to the events and remarks of the relevant figures who celebrate the strengths of his ancestors, this book also retains a lot of information that has been lost in historical books, so it still has some research value.

Today's "Tong Mengxun" originated from the Southern Song Dynasty Shaoding two years of the engraving, is no longer the original appearance, the original version has a large number of poems and essays, and there are more ways to be officials, and this version of "Tong Mengxun" mainly talks about the moral aspect, missing the original version of the way of officials.

To say that if it is the original three-volume "Tong Mengxun", it is also very precious, but this "Tong Mengxun" is only the first volume, and it is so tattered, and one-third of the handwriting on the book is not visible for various reasons. With this appearance, how can Chu Chen be interested?

So after Chu Chen flipped through it, he shook his head directly and said: "Boss, although your "Tong Mengxun" is indeed a Song carved book, the content I want to see above is no longer clear, so I ......"

If it was really a good thing, the stall owner would have sent it to the auction a long time ago, and he would not have left it until now, so he didn't feel any surprise when he saw Chu Chen's reaction. So he said to Chu Chen: "Then you can take a look at something else!" "After. So he put the book away carefully.

Chu Chen nodded, and was about to read other books, but he was stunned by the book under the "Tong Mengxun" just now, this book is nothing else. It is the "Zigong Yi Biography" that was lost before the Qin Dynasty.

Although I know that this book must be a fake. However, Chu Chen was curious. Or pick up the book and prepare to open it and take a look.

However, to Chu Chen's great surprise, this book was still a manuscript, judging from the handwriting. The calligraphy of the person who copied it must have been quite attained, and the paper of this book is still made of fine hemp paper, which looks as if it has been weathered, and looks like a vintage, and does not look at all like the forgery of the present zuò.

This made Chu Chen feel a little strange, so he hurriedly and quietly carefully identified, and finally judging from the writing method, ink and paper of the book, he felt that this "Zigong Yi Biography" should be copied in the late Ming Dynasty, and the year that can be given is indeed the same, and the specific year of writing should be the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

It was "The Biography of Zigong Yi" and the Jiajing period, which immediately reminded him of a more strange character at that time, Feng Daosheng.

Feng Daosheng's real name is Fengfang, a calligrapher, seal carver, and bibliophile in the Ming Dynasty.

In his collection, in particular, there are many manuscripts, which is already very powerful. However, he was the same as some calligraphers and painters of the previous generation, and he was not greedy enough, so he insisted on saying that he had no books to see, no books to hide, and no books to read, and in order to make others believe, he also made some fakes himself.

What made Fengfang leave a "notoriety" in the history of book collection was that he had forged many "ancient books". For example, the "Zigong Yi Biography" and "Zixia Poetry Biography" that were lost before the Qin Dynasty, the Jin "Shi Cheng", the Chu "Pestle", as well as the "Hetu" stone book, "Lu Shi" stone book, and "University" stone book.

When others asked him about the origin of these books, Fengfang lied that his ancestor Qingmin Gong had obtained them from the secret mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition, there are the Korean "Shangshu" and the Japanese "Shangshu", which lie that their great-ancestor Fengqing got it from the post house. So much so that the Qing Dynasty scholar Quan Zuwang ridiculed him in the "Tianyi Pavilion Tibetan Secretary" as "laughing at Confucianism and bullying future learning".

Fengfang was even more "fake" in his later years, but perhaps it was so fake that God couldn't see it, and as a result, he was "sick with heart disease" and fell ill and died.

Unfortunately, Fengfang did not know how to educate his children at all because of his personality, and he did not know how to manage money, and his children and grandchildren did not cherish books, so that the Song carvings and manuscripts in the collection of "Wanjuanlou" were stolen by his protégés.

Fengfang originally had a deep relationship with Fan Qin, the owner of "Tianyi Pavilion", Fan Qin had copied books from Wanjuanlou in the early days, and Fengfang also made "Tibetan Secretaries" for Fan Qin, so in the end, the remaining books of Wanjuanlou were sold to "Tianyi Pavilion", which made these remaining books in the collection be protected by "Tianyi Pavilion" and passed on to future generations.

Speaking of which, I think you should also understand that the book "Zigong Yi Biography" in Chu Chen's hand was created by Fengfang's "fake" back then, and the reason why it is so well preserved is needless to say that this book must be one of the many books stolen by Fengfang's protégé.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but secretly shake his head and smile, this book is indeed valuable, but if it is said that the value is very large, it is impossible, after all, it is just a pre-Qin ancient book carefully "forged" by Fengfang, if it is really the content of "Zigong Yi Biography", it will be priceless.

However, there is a way that rare things are expensive, although this "Zigong Yi Biography" is not of much research value, but after all, it is carefully forged by Fengfang, and in terms of antiques, it is still a very good thing, so Chu Chen planned to ask the stall owner the price of this "Zigong Yi Biography".

However, at this time, Chu Chen found that there were still six books in the original location of "Zigong Yi Biography", and the first one was "The Book of Filial Piety", which made him both surprised and excited, you must know that "The Book of Filial Piety" is different from "Zigong Yi Biography", but it is a genuine collection of books in Fengfang.

So he hurriedly picked up the "Book of Filial Piety", but he was surprised to find that the book below was actually "Jinjiang Collection".

"Jinjiang Collection" has a total of five volumes, the author is the famous female poet Xue Tao of the Tang Dynasty, she was eight or nine years old to be able to poetry, sixteen years old into the music register, after leaving the music nationality for life. After settling in Huanhua Creek. Bosom friend's rhythm, work poems, create "Xue Tao's note".

It is said that there are more than 500 poems in the "Jinjiang Collection", but unfortunately this set of books has not been handed down. The Ming version of "Xue Tao's Poems" handed down by later generations was pieced together from selected books such as "Ten Thousand Tang Dynasty Quatrains".

According to Fengfang's temperament, Chu Chen immediately judged that this set of "Jinjiang Collection" must have been forged by Fengfang, so he didn't care about it, and directly opened this "Book of Filial Piety" and read it.

This "Book of Filial Piety" is also a manuscript, and it is also made of good hemp paper, and the handwriting is not much different, but the content makes Chu Chen a little surprised.

Legend has it that the Book of Filial Piety was written by Confucius himself, and this book focuses on filial piety and expounds Confucian ethical thought in a concentrated manner. This book has a great influence in ancient China, and all dynasties have flaunted "ruling the world with filial piety", and Tang Xuanzong has personally annotated the "Book of Filial Piety".

This book is divided into two ancient and modern texts, the current text is Zheng Xuan's note, and the ancient text is Kong Anguo's note. Since the promulgation of the annotations of Tang Xuanzong, the annotations of Kong and Zheng have been invalidated. And the Book of Filial Piety in Chu Chen's hand is the version of Kong Anguo's note.

Some friends may say that since Fengfang likes to fake so much, will this "Book of Filial Piety" by Kong Anguo be forged by Fengfang?

This point Chu Chen has actually confirmed with an ability, if it is really faked, then its value will definitely not be as high as the ability given, and even if you don't say the ability, you can see from the meaning of the words between the lines of the book, this must be Kong Anguo's annotation.

If it was really forged by Fengfang, then with his literary accomplishment on this book, he could become a generation of Confucians, how could he end his life in poverty?

"Hey, hey, what a surprise!"

With such a precious book, Chu Chen guessed that the stall owner must not have read the book carefully, and he definitely didn't think that these books were copied by Fengfang, otherwise the stall owner would not have put the book here so easily.

Although Chu Chen wanted to read this "Book of Filial Piety" before talking, it inevitably aroused the suspicion of the stall owner, and he didn't dare to read more, so he pretended to flip through it casually, and put the book together with the "Zigong Yi Biography" just now.

Next, Chu Chen turned his attention to the remaining five volumes of "Jinjiang Collection", since they were also forged by Fengfang, they must also be put away, so he picked up the book very casually and looked through it, and this look suddenly shocked him enough.

This qiē is all because Chu Chen has not seen the poems in the current information, and he has not seen that they may be forged by Fengfang, but the poems in it are completely interpreted from a female perspective, and the words are quite exquisite, and the style of the poems is also the same as Xue Tao's, which cannot be imitated by Fengfang at all.

As mentioned above, if Fengfang really has such a literary accomplishment, then in addition to the calligrapher, seal carver, and bibliophile he just mentioned, he must also add the aura of a famous poet in the Ming Dynasty.

That is to say, these five volumes of "Jinjiang Collection" and that volume of "The Book of Filial Piety" should be the same, they are all genuine!

Thinking of this, Chu Chen hurriedly pretended to flip through the remaining four books casually, and the results also proved his judgment, the hundreds of poems seemed to show a very deep literary cultivation from them, and the style was the same as Xue Tao's poems.

In the end, Chu Chen used the ability in disbelief, and it also gave an exciting result. (To be continued......)
