820 Treasures of the Nation
Although he was slanderous in his heart, Old Man Liu was actually happy to see his granddaughter and the girl of the Beigong family like Zhang Jin, so he didn't break it, and continued to talk about the results of his own selection of this sticker:
"In the ninth year of Yonghe, the age is ugly, and at the beginning of late spring, I will be in the Lanting of Huiji Shanyin, and I will repair things. The sages are complete, and the young are salty. There are mountains and mountains here, dense forests and bamboos, and there are clear streams and turbulences, reflecting the left and right ......"
Old Man Liu did not directly break the results of his own examination, but first recited a bunch of ancient Wenhua chapters in a frustrated manner. It should be the text that just appeared in Zhang Jin's hands.
Liu Xianxian is a talented woman with IQ and EQ far beyond ordinary people, plus she has been deliberately strengthened from childhood to adulthood, and she has dabbled in a lot, and she is well-read and strong. Even if it is because of the 'brain-dead aura' brought by Zhang Jin, Liu Xianxian's mind is not as stiff as usual, but when Old Man Liu recited that pair of words with nearly 100 words, he finally remembered the source of this passage that his grandfather read!
I couldn't help but exclaim:
""Orchid Pavilion Preface"? "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface"? Grandpa, do you mean that the previous painting is "Lanting Collection Preface"? ”
"The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection?"
When Liu Xianxian was surprised, He Qingqian and Beigong Heyue also exclaimed.
Although He Qingqian and Beigong Heyue are not good at calligraphy, antiques, calligraphy and painting, and they are far from being as well-read and memorable as Liu Xianxian, a woman with a demonic mind, even if they are not literate, they are not illiterate after all. Even if he doesn't know as much as Liu Xianxian in this regard, the fame of "Lanting Collection Preface" is still thunderous.
This is the pinnacle masterpiece of Wang Xizhi, known as the 'Book Saint'!
This is the first line of law in the world by calligraphers of all ages!
Some people even rated the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" as "the first post in the world" and "the first calligraphy in the world", and there are very few opponents who disagree with this view!
It can be seen how noble the weight of this calligraphy post is in the cultural relics and calligraphy circles!
When Liu Xianxian saw that her grandfather was asking questions from herself and the two new and old sisters, she nodded and admitted, and couldn't help but continue to ask:
"Which facsimile is that? Whose facsimile is it? Looking at grandpa's appearance, I'm afraid the value is not even lower than "Lanting Shenlongben", right? ”
Liu Xianxian's question made the corners of Old Man Liu's mouth hang a smug and disdainful smile:
"Compared with this character, what is the "Lanting Shenlong Ben"? No matter how good the copying is, it is only a toddler in Handan. Feng Chengsu's copying, how can it be the handwriting of the 'book saint'! ”
'What?' Book Sage's handwriting? Wang Xizhi and Wang Youjun's handwriting? That's impossible! ”
Liu Xianxian was said by Old Man Liu. Stunned, a sandalwood mouth is wide open, enough to swallow a whole egg!
You must know that as one of the top ten calligraphy posts in China, it is called the "Lanting Collection Preface" with the same name as "Sanxitang Fa Ti", "Sacrifice Nephew Manuscript", "Huangzhou Cold Food Post", "Zhongni Dream Dian Post", "Self-narrative Post", "Shu Su Post", "Cursive Thousand Character Text", "Before and After Chibi Fu", "Cursive Poetry Post", and "Lanting Collection Preface", which is just a copy of the original version of the original skill.
With just one facsimile, the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" is already considered by many to be the first of the ten famous posts. If it's genuine, isn't it......
This is an exaggeration!
Moreover, the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" is now here, appearing in a thousand-year-old mural, which is also very unscientific!
Liu Xianxian's doubts are justified, because the original "Lanting Collection Preface" has disappeared in the long river of history for more than a thousand years.
…………
About the place where to go for the original copy of "Rantei Collection Preface". There is also a story that has not been included in the official history, but is very true.
In other words, this "Lanting Collection Preface" is a drunken work of the "book saint" Wang Xizhi's wonderful hand.
Because of his unrestrained thinking and unrestrained thinking after being drunk, Wang Xizhi's letter is handwritten, which is not only beautiful, but also chic and smooth. Nature is magnificent and ever-changing!
In particular, the more than 20 "zhi" characters in the full text are ever-changing, and none of them are the same, becoming the peerless masterpiece of the Chinese Xingshu after that!
According to legend, when Wang Xizhi woke up drunk, he wrote it several times, but it was not as good as the drunken handwriting.
He once lamented because of this:
"This god helps the ear, how can I do it?"
Therefore. He himself cherished this masterpiece very much, and regarded this post "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" as a family heirloom.
In fact, this so-called 'divine help', if analyzed according to Zhang Jin's theory of "Three Kingdoms of Martial Arts", is that Wang Xizhi is a great master with a tenth-level calligraphy level, and because of drunkenness, he unknowingly entered the 'state of entering the gods'. That's why I wrote the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" that reached the tenth level, so when the wine woke up, because it was out of the rare 'state of entering the gods', it was naturally impossible to reproduce the magic.
No further ado. Continuing with the story of this sticker.
Later, the "Lanting Collection Preface" was indeed passed down as an heirloom of the Wang family, Wang Xizhi died and passed on to his son, and his son died and passed on to his grandson.
In this way, it has been passed into the hands of Wang Xizhi's seventh-generation grandson 'Zhiyong Monk'. Because Zhiyong was a young monk and had no heirs, he passed it on to his disciple Biancai monk before he died.
Like the monk Zhiyong, he also loves calligraphy. Therefore, he knew the value of the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface", regarded it as a treasure, and hid it in a specially hewn hole in the beam of his bedroom.
Later, Li Shimin, who loved calligraphy, especially Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, heard about this and sent people to ask for it many times. As a result, the monk said that he did not know the whereabouts of the true handiwork, and concealed the past.
Later, Li Shimin saw that he could not take it by force, so he had to outwit it instead.
So, Li Shimin sent the superintendent Xiao Yi to disguise himself as a scholar to contact the debater.
Xiao Yi was also very interested in calligraphy, and took the opportunity to discuss calligraphy with the monk Biancai. And took out a few pieces of Wang Xizhi's authentic works for the monk to take a look, but as a result, this monk with six impure roots was not calm, and his heart of showing off and comparing could not be contained.
After seeing a few of Wang Xizhi's authentic works that Xiao Yi took out, he said with disdain and embarrassment:
"The true handwriting of you, the right army of the king, is really true, but it is not the best, I have a real handbook that is even better!"
So this monk took out the real copy of "Lanting Collection Preface" very prominently!
As a result, after Xiao Yi took the original copy of "Lanting Collection Preface", he immediately changed his face, put the real copy in his sleeve pocket, and showed Li Shimin's relevant edict to Biancai.
At this time, the baby changed hands, and even if the debater was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. can only swallow the bitter fruit caused by his own poverty and blind showmanship.
Later, the monk was even more depressed because of the loss of the treasure, but after a year, he whimpered and went down to his master to complain.
And after Li Shimin got the authentic work of this "Lanting Collection Preface", he naturally couldn't put it down. Not only when he was alive, but he also found the best calligrapher of the time to copy. In the end, even if you kick your legs and breathe and go down to see Hades, you have to take this "Lanting Collection Preface" with you. I want this "Lanting Collection Preface" as the most important piece of his funeral.
…………
This legend is quite reliable!
Because the time node in this story is very consistent with history.
For example, after Li Shimin's arrival in the "Lanting Collection Preface", he found a number of calligraphy masters at that time to copy, and this time period coincided with the time when a large number of copies of the "Lanting Collection Preface" appeared.
For another example, in the story, "Lanting Collection Preface" was buried in Zhaoling with Li Shimin. This time also coincides with the time when the original copy of "Lanting Collection Preface" disappeared.
For another example, the practice of snatching without achieving ingenuity and not giving up until the goal is achieved is also very consistent with Li Shimin's personality.
Moreover, there was also a story of He Yanzhi, a literati at that time, and a painting by Yan Liben, a court painter in the Taizong period, as tainted evidence that Li Shimin deceived the "Lanting Collection Preface" from the monk of Weicai by disgraceful means. The story is "The Legend of the Orchid Pavilion", and the painting is "Xiao Yi Earns the Orchid Pavilion"!
Therefore, the common saying in the archaeological circles, antique collection circles, and calligraphy circles is that this "Lanting Collection Preface", which is known as the "first book in the world", should still be sleeping underground with Li Shimin! Now it is sleeping in Zhaoling!
It is precisely because Liu Xianxian, a well-informed woman, knows this statement and thinks that this statement is quite reasonable. That's why when Old Man Liu said 'Lanting Preface', he immediately thought it was a copy of a certain version.
And the "Lanting Shenlong Ben" that Liu Xianxian said before is a facsimile of the "Lanting Collection Preface" with the highest value that has been handed down to this day.
As for why it is called 'Shenlong Ben', it is because the frontispiece has a small seal of the Shenlong year name of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, so it is called Shenlong Ben.
It is said that this "Lanting Shenlong Ben" was copied by Feng Chengsu, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Taizong period, by the order of Taizong.
As a result, what Liu Xianxian didn't expect was that grandpa's answer was so amazing. This text is not a copy, it is a real copy! This is a true national treasure of the world!
This answer is so amazing, even with Liu Xianxian's mental cultivation, he couldn't help but lose his temper for a while, and reflexively thought that this was absolutely impossible.
The granddaughter's gaffe made the old man Liu, who expected his granddaughter to be like an ordinary person, more and more happy, and after brushing his beard with a smug face, he asked rhetorically:
"How could it not be?
Before this post appeared, everyone thought that this post should be buried in Zhaoling. Although the explanation is reasonable and reasonable, after all, it is just speculation, and the things in the legend are just legends, and there should be no tangible evidence. ”
"So maybe this post is just a copy? Maybe this post is just better and more similar than Feng Chengsu's copy of "Lanting Shenlong Ben"? ”
The appearance of the original "Lanting Collection Preface" has had too much impact on Liu Xianxian, and the subversion of her usual cognition is too great, and she has even begun to doubt the accuracy of her grandfather Zhenjian.
