Chapter 376 Panjiayuan Ghost Market (4)
The so-called inscriptions and calligraphy are commonly known as black tigers. In fact, the inscription refers to the rubbings of stone carvings, and the post refers to the collection of famous ink marks from the ancients on wooden boards and can be collected on stones.
To put it bluntly, in the absence of a copy machine in ancient times, the ancients could only carefully and carefully print precious steles and calligraphy through very primitive techniques, either as collections or for future generations to learn from. In any case, the rubbings of the stele and the rubbings of the stele are important means to spread culture.
In addition, the reason why the inscriptions and calligraphy is commonly known as the black tiger is because the color of the ink rubbing is black, and it is of high value, and it is as precious as a tiger. But it is more of a method of making fake rubbings in the inscriptions and rubbings, which is difficult to distinguish the authenticity and cannot be prevented. If you are negligent, you will be deceived, as if you are bitten by a tiger.
This is also the market rule. Any valuable items are always mixed, with more fakes and less real. For example, the ink brushwork of the Lanting in front of you looks like the paper color is yellowed, the mounting is very exquisite, and there are even seals from the Qing palace palace.
However, no matter Wang Guan, Yu Feibai, or Xiao Shan, he dared not easily judge that this is the authentic product.
"Teacher Xiao, you can study it slowly."
At the right time, the owner was not in a hurry and said with a relaxed smile: "The old rules are here, let's negotiate the price after you are optimistic."
"Okay, you go and do it. I really need to study it for a while." Xiao Shan nodded, and fell into deep thought while observing the rubbing.
Next to him, Yu Feibai looked at it for a moment, touched Wang Guan, and whispered: "What do you think?"
"I don't know much about inscriptions and calligraphy, how can I read it?" Wang Guan shook his head and said, "But I feel that this thing is similar to calligraphy and paintings, it's nothing more than mounting, paper materials, and ink colors..."
"Brother Wang's words are very insightful, and one word woke up the dreamer." At this time, Xiao Shan came to his senses and Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I just looked at the handwriting and seals, but I ignored the most basic things."
"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." Wang Guan waved his hand and said, "And it is one thing to know how to identify it, and whether it can be accurately identified is another thing."
"Haha. This is an inevitable thing, so you need to verify it carefully." Xiao Shan smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Qing Dynasty's inner-domestic copywriting mostly used thin rice paper and cotton paper. Ink glue is heavy and light smoke, and the ink color shows purple light, commonly known as the dovetail color. If you grasp these two characteristics, it is easier to identify the authenticity."
Wang Guan smiled and did not respond. After all, he didn't ask for help but took the initiative to get in. That was a very rude behavior.
Besides, Xiao Shan was just talking to himself. After a few words, he lowered his head and immersed himself in the inscriptions and calligraphy.
"Two little brothers, what do you want to buy?" At the same time, the owner took the opportunity to greet him: "I have all the ancient books, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings here, so you can take a look."
"good!"
Wang Guan nodded gently. Since he was in, he had to look at it no matter how hard he said, and then he had the nerve to leave.
"Boss, your calligraphy and paintings here don't seem to be very good." Yu Feibai looked around, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the store were passing by. He shook his head and looked disappointed.
"The two are Teacher Xiao's friends, so I won't hide it." The owner smiled and said, "The things hanging up are naturally used to fool outsiders. I naturally have good things in the store, but I don't know whether the little brother will take a look at them casually or really want to buy them."
The owner's words also have a secret. If Yu Feibai was discouraged at this time, or could not stand the run and immediately asked the owner to bring out the things, it means he is a novice.
As for how to deal with novices, the shop owner naturally has various means and methods to ensure that people are killed without blood...
However, Yu Feibai naturally would not be fooled. He shook his head slightly and said, "I can't guarantee this. If it's something that suits my heart, I will definitely take it away. If it doesn't suit me, I can't treat myself badly."
"Too……"
After exploring the details, he was really a person in the circle. The owner was naturally a little disappointed, but he still walked into the warehouse and took two or three scrolls out for Yu Feibai to watch.
On the one hand, Wang Guan did not go to join in the fun, but sat down on a small stool next to the large bookshelf and flipped through the piles of old books. After a while, he found that the ancient books here were really all-encompassing, including not only classics, history, and literature collections, but also medical books and pharmacies, and even dozens of martial arts secrets such as the Nine Yin Sutras and Yi Jin Jing.
Wang Guan took the Nine Yin Scriptures and read them with great enthusiasm. He found that the contents were quite mysterious and seemed very profound. Unfortunately, it was simplified Chinese characters, and the printing quality was too poor, and there were still edge pages that were not cut...
In a big disappointment, Wang Guan moved his position and came to the other end. As soon as he sat down, he found a bunch of neatly arranged books in front of him. The quaint dark yellow book cover and light blue book title tags made these books look more conspicuous.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, Buddha rely on gold clothes. I have to say that this is also possible to describe books. Selling relatively good things is indeed easy to attract attention. Anyway, when Wang Guan saw it, he picked it up and read it carefully.
"The Taiqing Lou Post of the Grand View!" Another inscription was written by Wang Guan, pondering for a while, and then flipped a page. At first glance, he was a little surprised. Because this was a copy, not a motuo.
A copy is a copy version. If the copy is a famous calligrapher, it is of great value. However, if it is a copy of an ordinary literati, it is better to copy the copy.
After Wang Guan turned a few pages, he saw the end and found that there was no document left. Obviously, the copywriter was quite self-aware. He knew that his works were not of high artistic value, so he simply stopped signing them.
However, in Wang Guan's eyes, these calligraphy is also very good. After all, in this era when I was forgetting to write with my pen, let alone brush calligraphy, even if I write with a pencil, many people also write crookedly and in shape.
Of course, Wang Guan is comparing his own method now, and he must think that he is writing well, but he has to compare this copy with the original... he can't compare it at all.
You should know that the Taiqing Lou Tie of the Daguan was the most famous calligraphy in the Song Dynasty and belonged to the upgraded version of the Chunhuage Tie.
The two calligraphy works are in line with each other, but there are some differences. At that time, Emperor Taizong of Song ordered his ministers to copy and engrave Chunhua Ge calligraphy. The copying and engraving skills were not very good enough, which was quite distorted. At the same time, there were many academic errors in editing. What's more important is that the Chunhua Ge calligraphy works were engraved on jujube wood boards. After a hundred years, when Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was reigned, the stereotype was destroyed.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Huizong of Song recruited people to revisit the Chunhua Pavilion.
Everyone knows that things have two sides. Song Huizong's political talent is mediocre and belongs to the category of a foolish monarch, but there are very few emperors who can compare with him in art.
With his artistic appreciation, the re-edited Chunhua Ge Tie not only corrected the mistakes of Ge Tie in the arrangement, but also made much more detailed and accurate in the copying and engraving, so it was recognized by the world and considered to be a masterpiece among the Song Dynasty engravings.
Of course, the Chunhuage Tie, which was rebuilt, was naturally changed to its name. Since the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was Daguan, the engraved Tie was naturally named Daguan Tie.
After the copybook is engraved, it is stored downstairs of Taiqing Tower, so it is also called Taiqing Tower Post. However, it is worth mentioning that the Daguan Taiqing Tower Post is not equivalent to the Daguan Post or Taiqing Tower Post.
Because after the Daguan letter was engraved, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty added the Yuanyou Secret Pavilion to post the post, the 17th post of Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty, the 22 volumes of the calligraphy of Sun Guoting in Tang Dynasty, and the Daguan letter were collectively called the Daguan Taiqing Lou post.
In other words, the Daguan Taiqing Lou Tie belongs to the official collection of letters, not just a copybook. In layman's terms, the Daguan Taiqing Lou Tie is like a series of books, and each post can be independent.
So this book is a book, there should be many more...
Thinking of this, Wang Guan stumbled on the pile of books and found that there were dozens of volumes below. He looked at it casually and felt that the calligraphy styles on each book were similar, and it should have been written by the same person. In addition, judging from the binding of the booklets and the paper pages, the age should not be very long, and it may be something from the Republic of China.
Moreover, Wang Guan felt that this period of the Republic of China was not the early period of the Republic of China in the 190s and 1920s, but it should be the late period of the Republic of China in the 1930s and 1940s. It is not long, but even the history of seventy or eighty years is rare.
"It's a pity that there is no signature, and I don't know who copied it, so the value is greatly reduced."
Wang Guan shook his head, stood up casually, and was about to throw down the book in his hand.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he felt a flash in front of him and could not see anything. However, it was because he had been in the dark environment in the corner for a long time, and he could not adapt to it for a while, resulting in temporary blindness.
Wang Guan blinked his eyes quickly, and after a few seconds, he calmed down. However, the book in his hand was thrown away and opened and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Wang Guan naturally bent down and picked up the book. The moment he closed the book, he seemed to see a light red seal.
"There is a seal?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and quickly took the book straight and turned it out page by page.
Speaking of which, this book is quite thick, and the paper is not very well-behaved, a bit rough, making the pages stick together and not easy to open. So Wang Guan was not very fast to read. He only turned half of it in a few minutes, but he couldn't find the seal.
"Maybe, it's just an illusion."
After a while, Wang Guan was also a little self-doubted, so he simply made up his mind and directly opened up his special abilities.
After more than ten seconds, Wang Guan knew that he had read it correctly. He saw that the book was generally light with a slight white light, looming, almost nothing. It can be seen that his judgment was correct, it was something from the end of the Republic of China.
However, even among these pale white lights, there are two or three bright purple brilliances, just like fireflies in the dark night, and they cannot be ignored...
