Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty-Eight (800 Monthly Pass)
"Has the taboo problem been solved?" Fan Jiaxuan asked playfully.
The paper of this post is also Tang Dynasty hemp paper, and it is more like the Dunhuang scripture paper used.
This is also one of the reasons why some people think that the "Mocking Wang Liyang Refuses to Drink" posted by Neon is a fake, because its vertical height is less than 27 centimeters.
Also, when a large number of scriptures were discovered in Dunhuang, the little devil immediately went there and got a lot. Some people suspected that the copybook was cut from those scriptures because they were the same size.
There is also taboo avoidance. The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan. People in the Tang Dynasty would avoid taboos when using the word Yuan. Li Bai also had a precedent for avoiding taboos, that is, he changed the word Yuan to quan.
Professor Mu Kairong did a good job in this regard. In his calligraphy, Tao Yuanming's Yuan character was directly changed to Quan.
At this time, Professor Li Mingsheng spoke again: "The fiber, thickness, smoothness, tensile strength, etc. of the paper used in this post are consistent with the paper used by the Tang people to write scriptures in the Dunhuang posthumous documents. It is no problem to identify it as Tang Dynasty hemp paper;
The calligraphy is full of ancient spirit and has a Tang Dynasty style of writing. It seems to have come from the hands of literati of the Tang Dynasty. Judging from the paper, ink and character grid, it is undoubtedly a relic of the Tang Dynasty, and it is truly a rare treasure."
When he said this, everyone was stunned. This confirmation was too simple.
Especially Mu Kairong and Xiao Xiangqi looked at each other a little bit.
"The calligraphy style of this work is unique, with both form and spirit. All aspects reflect the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty. The characteristics of the era are obvious. It must be the exquisite ink of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was written by Li Bai himself cannot be denied. It requires further research and verification. Just from the
In terms of calligraphy art, it can be regarded as a wonderful piece of Tang Dynasty ink."
Fan Jiaxuan also reacted, and he directly copied the lines used by his predecessors in praising Neon's "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink Poster".
A smile appeared on Professor Mu Kairong's face.
"Xiao Chen, what did you say?"
"Do I need to say it?" Chen Wenzhe smiled bitterly. It was useless to ask him to endorse it!
"Tell me about it, you can learn from everyone's strengths!" Li Mingsheng said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe nodded and said: "Judging from the material of the paper, it should be hemp paper produced in Sichuan Province. This was mostly seen in the Tang Dynasty. The deer brushes of the Tang Dynasty were used. The words 'calendar, wind, and flower' were used in poetry."
The glyphs of the characters , cup, five, Zai, He, and You' were no longer used in the Song Dynasty.
The writing style of this post clearly reveals the style of writing used by Europe, Chu, and Sui and Tang Dynasties in the early Tang Dynasty. This post conforms to the writing style characteristics of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt that it is a Tang Dynasty ink. If you look closely at this post, you can see that some literati used their pens informally.
, the feeling of the sky and the sky, and the faint flow of sword and wine in the brushwork, which is very consistent with the historical records that Li Bai is the Tang Dynasty Sword Immortal and the Wine Immortal, and it must be the authentic work of Li Bai."
After a slight pause, Chen Wenzhe continued: "This piece of "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink" has a mellow ancient paper color and a strong calligraphy style. It cannot be written without a Tang pen. It is undoubtedly a Tang Dynasty ink, so it can be regarded as Li Bai's work!"
After Chen Wenzhe finished speaking, the expressions of several professors became weird, because this was the opinion of the expert who finally appraised the Neon work mentioned earlier.
It's just that the gentleman was talking about Neon's "Mocking Wang Liyang's Reluctance to Drink".
"Haha, you little naughty boy!"
All the professors laughed, and it was obvious that Chen Wenzhe understood what they meant.
Chen Wenzhe had to say this, because even if he put his heart into it, it would be impossible for him to stop doing it because of him.
Looking at the words in front of him, Chen Wenzhe felt a little emotional, this is a high imitation!
To imitate a calligraphy, you must first have the same paper. In this regard, the Dunhuang sutra writing paper provided convenience to Professor Mu Kairong.
The next Tang Dynasty ink is not difficult to do. There are not many high-quality inks handed down from the Tang Dynasty, but ordinary ink blocks are still easy to find.
Next is the pen. Although the Jiju pen is said to have been lost, is it really difficult to restore the craftsmanship?
The biggest difference between this kind of pen and the brushes we use today is that the pen has a hard core.
It is not difficult to imitate one. The reason why it is lost is because this kind of pen has great defects.
For example, if you apply a little force, the brush hairs will spread out.
Therefore, whether it is Shang Balcony Post or Wang Liyang Post, they all look a bit sloppy. The scattered strokes are the biggest feature of this kind of pen.
Only with paper, pen and ink can you write.
Over the past dynasties in China, capable people have emerged in large numbers. Which generation will not have a few geniuses?
For example, the largest and most powerful copyist in modern times is Mr. Qi Baishi, an expert in high imitation. He has made at least more than a thousand high imitations, all of which are imitations of famous calligraphy and paintings.
Therefore, as long as you have confidence, it is not difficult to imitate a Wang Liyang sticker.
And finally, it is not difficult to reproduce a bell seal, that is, a seal.
This is not difficult at all in the face of modern technology.
Nowadays, some master appraisers no longer value seals when appraising calligraphy and paintings, but pay more attention to ink pads.
Because it is too easy for CNC equipment to forge seals.
Machines can make ancient seals look exactly the same, but now they cannot be used as a basis for identification.
On the contrary, ink pads are not easy to fake because of the different formulas.
If all the above mentioned are fulfilled, it is really not difficult to make a high imitation of Wang Liyang's post.
Of course, there is also the final mounting. For those who are interested, it is difficult to get a scroll from the Tang Dynasty?
At worst, it would not be difficult to just dismantle a calligraphy and painting from the Tang Dynasty and remount it with this calligraphy.
The most amazing thing is not these, but three small details.
Neon's Wang Liyang sticker was rejected mainly because it avoided Li Yuan's Yuan character, and because the vertical height of the paper was less than 27 centimeters, which was exactly the same width as the Dunhuang sutra writing paper brought back by the Neon people. The last point was that it left
payment.
The paper can be said to be a coincidence, and the taboo can be said to be careless. Although it is illegal, what if no one pursues it?
All of these are justified, but leaving money is the biggest flaw.
You must know that the ancients of the Tang Dynasty did not leave their names, especially on formal occasions, such as collections, calligraphy and painting works, etc., they usually left words.
For example, Li Bai, his surname is Li, his given name is Bai, but his given name is Taibai.
Therefore, when you go up to the balcony and post it, Taibai is left, not Li Bai.
It is difficult for such a mistake to occur in an ancient literati, because his habit was to leave words instead of names.
This is the biggest problem with Wang Liyang's post, and Professor Mu Kairong directly corrected these mistakes.
The character he left in this painting was Taibai, and the taboo word Yuan was directly rewritten into the word Quan.
This point is confirmed in other Li Bai poems and essays.
It can be said that the calligraphy created by Professor Mu Kairong was deliberate. He wanted to kill the neon calligraphy all at once.
As long as domestic experts unanimously say that this painting is authentic, the words on the neon side are really doubtful.
