"Lanting Preface" has been lost during the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty, so the above three versions are still very worthy of praise, and it is reasonable for it to last for a long time.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe has not fallen into the eyes of money yet. What he wants now is to learn. Without starting his own inheritance, can he not learn Wang Xizhi's calligraphy?
As long as he gets the opportunity to learn now, he will definitely be able to quickly improve his calligraphy skills in the future.
And in this forest of steles, the most indispensable thing is learning opportunities.
Walk out of the calligraphy hall and come to the stone carving art outdoor.
In the verandah here, there are a collection of stone carving treasures from various places, such as stone beasts and portrait stones from the Eastern Han Dynasty, squatting lions and rhinos from the Tang Dynasty.
Four of the famous "Six Horses of Zhaoling" are preserved here.
If you don’t know what level of collection this is, you need to find out more about it.
Let's put it this way, if the Eight Horses painting painted by Chen Wenzhe before can be seen, then after learning the Four Horses painting here, the horses drawn in the future cannot be said to be as good as Xu Beihong's, but they will certainly not be worse.
It's a pity that there is no picture of the five cows here. Cows and horses are not divided into different families. Once you have learned how to draw horses, you must also learn to draw cows.
Well, it would be better to have tigers. Throughout the ages, many people have learned from tigers.
I will definitely look for the original work of "The Six Horses of Zhaoling" in the future, and if possible, I will also take a look at the picture of the Eight Horses.
When the time comes, it will be convenient if he wants to make twelve zodiac signs or something.
While studying, I diverged my thinking and thought about how to improve my knowledge system as much as possible.
Making porcelain certainly involves a lot of painting, and of course carving is also essential.
In front of Chen Wenzhe, there is a series of famous stone sculptures.
The stone lanterns supplied in the Tang Dynasty displayed here are very eye-catching.
This kind of stone lamp is divided into nine layers. Both the shape and the pattern of the lamp case are very exquisite.
The stone lanterns along the way to Kasuga Shrine near Nara, Japan, are imitated from this Tang lantern.
In addition, there are also stone-carved tomb doors from the Eastern Han Dynasty and stone coffins from the Tang Dynasty that were unearthed and moved here.
The inscriptions on the stone coffin include astrological music and dance, pictures of ladies, and relief paintings on the outside of the coffin depicting civil and military attendants and immortals riding dragons and phoenixes. They are all historical and artistic treasures.
These are the key points recorded by Chen Wenzhe.
He has no time to study now, nor does he have the energy to study, but this time it is all recorded in the Pearl of Sui Hou, and he can digest it slowly in the future.
It turns out that he is definitely weak in lettering, but with this addition, he will definitely not be able to stretch his hips in the future, even if he is a master of calligraphy.
Thinking about imitating the fonts of famous masters of the past on porcelain, it would be difficult for someone to imitate his Yi Niantang works in the future, right?
For example, he made the Twelve Flower God Cups, each cup has a poem on it.
If he used the fonts of twelve famous masters throughout the ages to inscribe poems, would the resulting Twelve-Flower Cup be unique?
The most important thing is that if Chen Wenzhe becomes famous, or a hundred years later, it will be too difficult for future generations to imitate his works.
Chen Wenzhe felt happy when he thought of such a thing.
“In the future, I must travel!”
“It is truly a cultural treasure house!”
It has a vast collection and rich cultural connotation. It is praised by the world as "the treasure house of Oriental culture", "the source of calligraphy art" and "the world's oldest stone carving library". It is really well-deserved.
If you want to study our country's ancient history, calligraphy and painting art, you must come here.
So many extremely precious materials are in the Forest of Steles Museum for the world to see.
This is much better than those ordinary museums, and at least for Chen Wenzhe, it is much friendlier.
After seeing all the stone tablets and carvings, Chen Wenzhe came to the place where the Jingyun Bell was displayed with satisfaction.
This is also a scenic spot. When you come to the Forest of Steles, you must not forget that there is also a Jingyun Bell that is 2.5 meters high and weighs 6 tons.
Every year on New Year's Eve, the bell sounded by CCTV comes from this giant bell.
More than 1,300 years ago, it was hung on the Jinglongguan Bell Tower in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to tell the time and pray for all people. Its clear and sweet sound could be heard throughout Chang'an City.
It is not only engraved with exquisite patterns such as flying sky, flying crane and walking lion, but also has the imperial brush of Emperor Ruizong Li Dan of the Tang Dynasty, which is rare in the world.
The residents of the ancient capital Chang'an are even more blessed. Every day on the hour, the Xihuamen Annunciation Building rings with its clear and resonant voice.
Looking at Jingyun Zhong in front of him, a series of attributes appeared in front of Chen Wenzhe.
Name: Jingyun Zhong
Age:1310 years old
Professional Title: National Treasure Level (First Class A)
Household registration date: 1953
Birthplace: Chang'an City, China
Date of birth: The second year of Emperor Ruizong Jingyun of Tang Dynasty (711 AD)
The only existing bell with the emperor's imperial pen!
After making phone calls, completing the procedures, and passing the verification, Chen Wenzhe came to Jing Yunzhong.
Looking at the top of Jingyun Bell, there is a crouched mythical beast squatting. This is Pulao.
Look at the bell again, it's in the shape of a whale.
According to folklore, Pulao is one of the nine sons of the dragon. He likes music very much and is good at neighing with a loud voice. He is also afraid of whales and will scream incessantly when he sees one.
So people made it squat on the top of the bell and carved the long piece of wood that struck the bell into the shape of a whale.
When the bell is struck, the whale hits the bell body again and again, making the sound reach into the sky, and its sound is unique and far away.
Jingyun Bell is more than 1,300 years old and has a bronze color throughout.
The 32 stalactites protruding from its surface are actually tuners that can adjust the sound of the bell from clear to deep.
It is a pity that in order to protect it, it has not been rung for more than fifty years.
Even if he hasn't touched it yet, Chen Wenzhe knows that the Jingyun Bell is made of copper and tin alloy, using the "multiple casting method".
That is, the casting mold is divided into 5 sections, with a total of 26 molds, which are cast in one go and are completely natural.
The value of Jingyun Bell is mainly reflected in four aspects.
It is huge in shape and weighs 6 tons. It is one of the few existing bronze bells from the Tang Dynasty.
In 1964, Jingyun Bell was selected as the world's famous clock in the World Famous Clock Competition held in Japan.
It has precise melody, and the beautiful chime of the Central People's Broadcasting Station to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new year comes from the Jingyun Bell.
The decoration is exquisite. The body of the clock is divided into three layers by arabesque stripes, with six grids on each layer. Each grid is cast with a flying sky, a flying crane, a walking lion, a soaring dragon, a red bird, a one-legged ox, etc.
The whole picture is in order, arranged in order, and connected from beginning to end.
Especially Feitian, which is smart, elegant and lifelike.
The flying figure on it has a plump face, a slim figure, and his hands are in the shape of a begging bowl, soaring into the air. His skirts and streamers fluttering in the wind are also made to be delicate and lifelike.
You know, this is a copperware, not a clay sculpture. At least many carving techniques are useless here.
These are actually nothing. The most striking thing is that it is the only existing bronze bell in the world that was written by the emperor and supervised the casting.
As a big bell, it will still sound like gold and stone thousands of years later. This is the most important thing.
