Chapter 732 The Banned Su Dongpo

"Why?"

After hearing Mr. Tian say that the thing might be a imitation, Mr. Xing and others became anxious and quickly asked for the reason.

"Don't hurry, I just said it's possible."

At the same time, Old Tian shook his head and said, "The things are preserved very well, and the silk threads do not crack. Unless they are more sophisticated instruments, it is not easy to judge whether it is the Song Dynasty craft. Of course, it is certain that this is undoubtedly an ancient silk."

When everyone heard this, they felt a little relieved. They were not sure that it was a imitation, or perhaps it was the original one.

"It's also certain that this is not a modern fake."

At this time, Old Tian smiled and said, "Next, we will look at the main text. Speaking of which, when I saw the three words "Red Cliff Fu", I felt a little bit. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Many people were stunned and didn't know what Mr. Tian wanted to express.

However, there are also people who understand. At least Wang Guan understands what Mr. Tian means. Seeing that others are not awakened, he simply pointed out: "Often people write two Red Cliff Fu, and the first one in the opening book must be habitually written as the previous Red Cliff Fu, not the Red Cliff Fu."

"yes."

In an instant, the others suddenly realized.

It is also necessary to explain here that when Su Dongpo visited Huangzhou Chibiji, he wrote the Red Cliff Fu in great interest, but at that time he could not have thought that he would write another Red Cliff Fu in the future, so Red Cliff Fu is the Red Cliff Fu. A few months later, he wrote another Red Cliff Fu, and everyone habitually called the first Red Cliff Fu the former Red Cliff Fu.

In fact, it is very particular about the fact that there is no previous Red Cliff Fu, only Red Cliff Fu and Red Cliff Fu. Different people always like to correspond to the front and back, so they put the Red Cliff Fu into the name of the Front Red Cliff Fu. Not only is the name like this, but even when writing, the title of Red Cliff Fu is written as the Front Red Cliff Fu.

However, Su Dongpo is the author of the article and will definitely not make such a mistake. After thinking about this, Mr. Xing and others were even happier. They felt that details determine success or failure, and the possibility of this thing being the original is a bit more.

"As for Mr. Dongpo's calligraphy..."

At the same time, Mr. Tian turned around and asked, "How do you think of the style of calligraphy in the two Red Cliff fu?"

"Okay, that's great."

An old man nodded without hesitation and said, "It must be the original work of Mr. Dongpo."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Others nodded in support.

"Okay, I shouldn't ask you." Old Tian smiled helplessly and waved, "Wang Guan, what do you think?"

"Old Tian, ​​if you ask me this, it's better to ask a few seniors."

That being said, Wang Guan still came over and looked at it while expressing his opinion: "Su Dongpo's original work of the Red Cliff fu is now preserved in the Forbidden City in Taipei, but it is running regular script, and this is a large-character calligraphy, with some differences in style. However, as we all know, Su Dongpo does not pursue the layout of writing, and even regular script can be written into running script..."

"That's right." Several people nodded in agreement, saying that this is the biggest feature of Su Dongpo's calligraphy.

"So if you compare carefully, the Red Cliff fu in front of you is very similar to the Red Cliff fu in the Forbidden City in Taipei, especially between the lines, which are not straight down, but slightly tilted to the left. So some people say that his calligraphy is to hold his wrist and the pen lies, so the left is beautiful and the right is dry."

Wang Guan talked happily: "But Huang Tingjian defended him, saying that everyone was looking at Su Shu from the perspective of Hanlin Shishu. It means that those who criticized Su Dongpo's calligraphy were using Tang Kai, who had strict rules to demand Su Dongpo, which was not fair and reasonable at all, and they even didn't understand the beauty of Su Dongpo's calligraphy."

“It’s right.”

There were basically Su fans present. When they heard Wang Guan’s words, they nodded deeply.

Wang Guan smiled and continued: "When Su Dongpo talked about his calligraphy, he also said, "I can't make my calligraphy meaning, and I can't rely on it." To put it bluntly, it is to pursue a casual calligraphy style orientation, so his overall style and posture are straightforward, not arrogant but beautiful, not restrained but strict, not casual but bold..."

"In other words, if you write articles neatly and properly, it is definitely not Su Dongpo's style. On the contrary, like now, the lines of words look a bit messy, as if there is no regular script, so it may be written by Su Dongpo." Wang Guan affirmed, which has a bit of decisive meaning.

"that is."

In an instant, Old Ji nodded repeatedly, raised his thumbs up and agreed: "Young man, it's very insightful."

"Hehe, you know how powerful he is." At the same time, Mr. Xing joked: "I don't know who it is. I was just doubting his eyesight problem."

"Is there any?" Mr. Ji pretended to be confused and waved his hand directly: "Don't pay attention to this. The most important thing now is to determine whether the thing is true or false. Brother Tian, ​​can you confirm it now?

"How is it so easy?" Old Tian shook his head and said, "I still need to study postscripts and seals."

"By the way, here is a postscript written by Mr. Dongpo, which records the creation process of this work." Mr. Xing hurriedly signaled: "The content of the postscript is roughly that a friend named Qinzhi came to ask for a text. Since he agreed before, he only wrote one (formerly) Red Cliff Fu. Now that his friend is visiting again, he simply wrote the first and last two fu in full."

"From the meaning of the postscript, Mr. Dongpo was also very satisfied with this work and told his friends to add secrets and not to show them easily. Finally, the signature was signed. On October 24, the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Su Shi of Meishan was recorded in the Linggao Pavilion in Huangzhou."

Speaking of this, Mr. Xing sighed and said with great emotion: "Maybe it is the reason why this work can be passed down under the ban on the court."

Everyone nodded, and there was a reason for this. As long as people who know all the Northern Song Dynasty should know that Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou not only because of the literary inquisition of Wutai poetry, but also because of the issue of party struggles, and the party was fighting against the differences.

The party struggles were very serious at that time, and basically developed to the point where water and fire were incompatible. If the Song Dynasty had not had the habit of killing scholars and officials, Su Dongpo would have been done long ago. However, although he could not eliminate his opponent physically, he had to ban it mentally.

Anyway, during that period, the court issued a decree to destroy Su Dongpo's poems, articles, calligraphy and paintings. Anyone who dared to collect them privately will be regarded as a member of the party and punished them.

Under such circumstances, Su Dongpo's works must have been severely hit, so that only a few authentic works have existed now, which has become the biggest regret of Su fans in the world.

You should know that Su Dongpo is known for his high profession. He has written countless poems and articles throughout his life, and he is a master of painting. However, due to party struggles, a large number of works have been destroyed, so how can you not regret it?

Of course, the so-called "the upper part has policies and the lower part has countermeasures". Although the imperial court has such a decree, there are too many people who worship Su Dongpo, so naturally some people dare to commit crimes against the wind. The friend in Su Dongpo's postscript is a good example. He went directly to Huangzhou to visit Su Dongpo and asked for calligraphy by the way.

In the midst of difficulties, a friend came to visit him, which was equivalent to a timely help and warmed people's hearts. What else Su Dongpo had to say, naturally he would always respond to his requests, readily write down his brush, buy one free one free, and simply write down two essays of Chibi to repay his friend's friendship against the wind. If the work is an authentic work, it is also a witness to a friendship to some extent, and it is of great significance.

"There are also Huang Tingjian's inscriptions."

At this time, Mr. Ji pointed out again: "The inscription and signature was written on the winter solstice of the first year of the Jingguo period of Jianzhong. On the winter solstice of the first year of Jianzhong, it was written in a boat in Shashi, Jingzhou. The snow cleared and the cold was cold, and the hand was almost unable to write, Zhongling Huang Tingjian."

"In the first year of Jingguo, the persecution of Su Dongpo had ended, and he had passed away for nearly half a year." Ji Lao pondered: "So those who collected this work took it out and let Huang Tingjian see it. Huang Tingjian was also very happy and left the first comment of this work."

"I once said that Su Dongpo's writing and writing is lush and rich in his writing, and his writing is spread among his brush and ink. His use is beyond the reach of imagination. Looking at this scroll, his ribs and flesh are fully prepared, and his blood is shaking, and his spirit is bright. Even though he looks beautiful, Xu Fusheng should also stay away from the three houses." An old man shook his head and said, "If Su Dongpo saw this postscript, he laughed at me as honored in the place where there is no Buddha. This is clearly in line with the evaluation on the Huangzhou Cold Food Post in the Forbidden City in Taipei."

Yan Xu is the name of the Tang Dynasty calligraphers Yan Zhenqing and Xu Hao. I won’t say that Xu Hao should not know many people, but Yan Zhenqing should be famous and well-known. Huang Tingjian’s postscript says that when the two of them resurrected, they should avoid the red cirques before and after seeing the front and back, and they should be ashamed of themselves. Perhaps it has a bit of flattery, which is enough to show the value of this work.

"Look at it again, this is Zhu Xi's inscription."

An old man said excitedly: "There is a sentence in the inscription. The beginning of the volume contains the seal of Shaoxing from the Deshou Palace. He once entered the inner palace of Siling and somehow lived in the world. He played with it again and again, and he couldn't sigh."

Siling refers to Emperor Gaozong of Song. His tomb was Yongsiling, which later generations respectfully called Siling. The inner palace of Siling is the secret palace of Emperor Gaozong of Song, and it should be the place where he hid treasures. In other words, the East and West were once collected by Emperor Gaozong of Song in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, but for some unknown reason, it was once again spread to the people.

Zhu Xi Youqing was very happy to see this work. People often say it again and again, but he says it again and again. Only in this way can we express the excitement in our hearts and sigh very much.

Hearing this, someone walked quickly: "I'll go and see the seal on the top of the roll..."

"Don't worry, there are many seals, and you need to identify them one by one." Old Tian waved his hand slightly and said, "But before that, everyone should read all the postscripts first and sort out a context before talking about it."

"It's also..." Others nodded one after another. After all, the circulation of works emphasizes the order of inheritance. From Huang Tingjian to Emperor Gaozong of Song and Zhu Xi, one line is very realistic. Next, we need to look at the situation later. If the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties can be smoothly connected, then the credibility will be higher.

"After Zhu Xi, it was Wei Leweng and Deng Wenyuan's inscription..."
