Chapter 1859: Northern Song Dynasty Cultural Relics Counterfeiting Project
When the stone drum was reborn, it was already stained and stained, and the writing on the stone drum was incomplete, which aroused the lamentation of several experts and scholars.
What is even more regrettable is that one of the stone drums was inexplicably lost because it had been abandoned in the wilderness.
This is the original stone drum that later caused a sensation all over the world and often caused academic disputes in the past dynasties.
In the 9-sided stone drum and Fengxiang Confucius Temple, I felt uneasy.
More than 90 years later, the once prosperous Li and Tang dynasties suddenly collapsed due to successive wars.
It is regrettable that the Fengxiang Confucius Temple was burned down during the war, and the nine stone drums hidden in the temple were also stolen.
Chencang Stone Drum, once again escaped to the grassland rivers and lakes in the troubled times.
There is also a legend here, which is the Northern Song Dynasty cultural relics counterfeiting project directed by Sima Chi, the father of Sima Guang.
This is just like creating a fake green space by directly applying green paint.
Of course, this is a joke, but they are all political achievement projects. In fact, they are all the same, they are all designed to please the superiors.
Song Renzong is a famous painting and calligraphy king in the history of our country. He did not hesitate to use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to send talented and virtuous people from all over the world to search for the whereabouts of Chencang Shigu.
At this point, the 10 stone drums were finally reunited, but their wandering fate continued.
Sima Chi was a relatively unknown collector of gold and stones during the Northern Song Dynasty.
After Shaofang's investigation, it was finally discovered that the rubbings originated from the Tai family in Guanzhong.
That bad news was like a bolt from the blue for Sima Chi, who had traveled thousands of miles away.
Sima Chi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, found a nearby inn and settled down with a feeling of disappointment.
Of course, even at this time, the legend of the stone drum has not yet begun.
Long before the butcher's stone drum was discovered, Prefect Fengxiang received a letter from Sima Chi.
The 10 stone drums were regarded as treasures by the Jin soldiers because of the gold filled in the drums, and they followed the plundered Seven Emperors of Huiqin as they moved north.
In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the government burned down all Taishi's houses and property.
When I arrived at Taishi Village, I was completely shocked by the scene in front of me.
The stone drum has changed beyond recognition, the lower part has been cut off by the villagers, and the middle has been dug into a concave shape for pounding rice.
We just picked out the gold filled under the stone drums and threw them into the wilderness.
Yue Mingmei, who was heartbroken, resorted to clumsy tricks that were superfluous, and privately sent craftsmen to collect similar stones overnight to make fake ones.
But in fact, the "Original Stone Drum" has been lost for 200 years, and it is possible that no new rubbings will be released.
The original relationship with Shigu came from a rubbing of Taishi Shigu inscriptions that I paid a lot of money for.
However, it was not until 1052, when Yue Mingmei, a collector of gold and stones, came to Fengxiang that the fragmented history of Shigu turned around.
When comparing the rubbings of other stone drum texts in my hand, I unexpectedly discovered that the new rubbings did not retain the words "make the original stone drum".
Then, I moved him back to the Baohe Hall and stayed with me day and night.
It is a pity that the learned master Xiang Chuan and the famous scholars who came here were very slow to identify the fake stone drum.
With that move, I was praised by Renzong for my extraordinary achievements.
Nine stone drums appeared in the world, but they also experienced fraud. Therefore, the missing "original stone drum" immediately became famous in the sky.
Wang Lu was born in Fengxiang Guo County (now Chencang District, BJ City), and has the same roots as Shigu.
Otherwise, how could Master Xiang post yellow bulletins all over the sky, asking for low-level positions and huge sums of money?
During the Jingkang Incident, the Jin soldiers invaded Bianliang, captured the seven emperors of Hui and Qin, and escorted them to the northeastern wasteland for imprisonment.
Before Song Renzong, the father of Sima Guang, who was the prefect of Fengxiang at the time, heard the news, he tried his best to find the legendary 10 small stones and tried to kill the king.
So far, the stone drum has been lost due to war for the eighth time.
However, the stable life of the 10-faced Stone Drum City only lasted until the 1930s.
Before the stone drum was transported to Yanjing, the Jin people who knew the culture of the Central Plains did not realize its value.
It wasn't until 1234 AD that the allied forces of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty captured Yanjing. The imperial censor Wang Lao who followed the army discovered 10 stone drums hidden among the ruins by chance.
Fearing that the night would be long and the dreams would be short, I immediately prepared my horse and set off.
I got closer and took a closer look, and some of the writings of the hour were faintly visible under the whetstone.
The text below the stone drum has been worn away and slightly damaged, leaving only four lines of text in the upper part.
The discovery of the rubbings of the "Original Stone Drum" kept Sima Chi awake all night.
After the Northern Song Dynasty unified the world and gradually wiped out the feudal princes, the country's economy and culture recovered and made a leap in just a few decades.
It is believed that its value can equal one to four, which immediately triggered a wave of wealthy and weak people spending huge sums of money to find "original stone drums".
A few days ago, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty suddenly had a sudden idea and ordered the gaps between the text grooves under the 10 stone drums to be filled with gold and installed a golden body.
Before the full-scale war of aggression against China broke out, the 10 stone drums were moved in succession with the national treasures of the Forbidden City. They were transported to Chongqing with difficulty before a short stay in Jinling. In the previous three generations of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the stone drums had not left Passing through the city of gods.
Unfortunately, only 9 stone drums were found, and there is still no trace of the original stone drum that was lost in the late Tang Dynasty.
When Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty was checking the classical and historical archives left by the previous dynasty, he accidentally discovered the legendary chronicle of stone drums and became very interested in the Chencang stone drums that had been lost for hundreds of years.
So they mobilized troops overnight and rushed to Guanzhong to protect Shigu and Sima Chi back to Fengxiang.
When it comes to the issue of Shigu, I only inherited the late king’s obsession with his master, and less of the doting.
Very slowly, I made a fake "original stone drum" by referring to the rubbings of the stone drum.
The two broken edges below were used by the butcher to sharpen his knives.
Huizong of the Song Dynasty, who claimed to be "the best scholar in heaven", was another calligraphy and painting emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.
What surprised Yue Mingmei was that although the whetstone used by the butcher was worn out, it didn't look like a stone drum.
It turned out that Tai's family all died of the plague six months later.
It turned out that a butcher was sharpening his knife in front of the inn.
Song Renzong first performed extraordinary feats and was rewarded, but he was also convicted of forgery and deceiving the emperor.
Early the next morning, Sima Chi was awakened by the sound of sharpening a knife coming from the front yard.
After several twists and turns, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty finally brought the Chencang Stone Drum to light again after disappearing for hundreds of years.
Because Sima Chi failed to find the stone drum, he was rewarded by the imperial court and received a set of stone drum rubbings.
Immediately, the stone drum was sent to Bianliang.
It turns out that this is not the "original stone drum" where 200 young people disappeared and have been haunted by generations of people.
That's why Chen Wenzhe knew it was right at a glance, because the stone drum I saw was intact and damaged, but the text below it was complete, with only the upper half of the seven lines of text missing.
Sima Chi followed the sound and walked behind the butcher's door, only to see the butcher's knife being sharpened until it shone coldly.
I kept it in the Confucius Temple and asked someone to take care of it.
In 1110 AD, before the "original stone drums" were transported to the capital, the 10 stone drums were officially transferred to Taixue for preservation.
