"Aunt Liu, don't worry, drink some water first and then talk..."
Wang Liang persuaded the old lady and handed the water to the old lady. The old lady hesitated for a while before taking it, but she didn't drink it.
Seeing this scene, Wang Liang also knew that if he didn't explain the matter clearly first, the old lady might not be able to drink the water. He sighed, looked at Chen Ran and said slowly: "Chen Ran, it's like this...
…”
It turned out that Wang Liang took this old lady to find Chen Ran because he wanted Chen Ran to help look at something. The old lady was not from Wang Liang's village, but from Xiaolu Village in a nearby village. This is where Wang Liang's grandmother lived.
From the village, it seems that he and the old lady are related, and we usually walk quite close to each other.
The old lady's father-in-law used to be a famous cultural figure in their area. He went to university before the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, it was a time of war and chaos. He returned to his hometown and opened a private school before he finished school. In addition to teaching literacy, he also
He usually writes and draws. He is very famous in several nearby villages. During the New Year and festivals, couplets and the like are posted, all by his hand. During the ten years of turmoil, it goes without saying that the old man was the focus of criticism at that time.
All the books, calligraphy and paintings collected at home were confiscated by the Red Guards.
The old lady's man also has a unique skill. She used to be a barber, the kind of barber who visited various villages. She didn't make much money, so she just collected some food. Of course, this is no longer popular now. She is older.
Now, old ladies and men have stopped doing this for a long time. There are quite a few children at home, five or six of them, but they are already married, so there is nothing to worry about. My daughter is married out of town and only comes back once during the holidays.
, of the remaining five sons, three are working in other places and have not been back for several years. The two sons who stay at home do not have much future, they just farm and raise cattle and sheep...
This matter starts from a few days ago. There was a heavy rain a few days ago. The old lady’s house is an old house that has been lived in for decades. It rained heavily and the house leaked. The old lady and the man moved the ladder.
I climbed onto the roof of the tile-roofed house to repair the house. As a result, when the house was being repaired, the house suddenly collapsed and the old lady's man fell off the roof. The old lady's old house had beams, and he fell down.
At that time, his leg was hit by a beam. This was considered an unforeseen disaster. After rescuing the person, they quickly called the king's father over. After the king's father rushed over, he gave emergency first aid to the old lady and the man, and then he quickly sent someone to help.
The person was sent to the village. After emergency treatment in the village, he was sent to the county hospital.
The old lady's family didn't have much money left. Wang's father paid for the hospitalization expenses in the village and county. The Wang family is not short of money now, but after all, the Wang family can't pay all the money, let alone the hospitalization expenses and expenses.
The old lady’s family couldn’t even afford the medical expenses, including the living expenses for hospitalization in the county. In just two days, tens of thousands of dollars had been spent, and the old lady could only count on a few children.
But after contacting the three sons who were working in other places, none of them came back. They just asked the juniors to come and visit. Some took out two hundred yuan, and some didn't take a penny. The two sons at home did not.
She was also taking care of her in the hospital, but she was pushed and shoved when she wanted to pay, and she refused to pay a penny. She also quarreled from time to time to make her other three sons come back. This unexpected disaster,
The whole family was in chaos, and the old lady almost fell ill.
Wang Liang's family, both Wang's father and Wang Liang, are good and loyal people. If something happened to the old lady's house, Wang's father would go to the hospital to help from time to time. Wang Liang would also go to the old lady's house from time to time to help her.
The family first repairs the house and does farm work.
While cleaning up the collapsed house, a small box was found on the beam of the house. The box looked quite quaint, and it also had a small lock. The small lock was broken, so it could be opened directly.
Inside was a scroll of calligraphy and painting. Wang Liang didn't understand this either, so he naturally thought of Chen Ran.
This was the busy time for farming. Originally, Wang Liang was planning to come back in a week. When this happened, he brought the old lady over first so that Chen Ran could help see if the painting was valuable. If so,
, the old lady’s family will undoubtedly not have to worry.
Hearing that it was a scroll of calligraphy and painting, Chen Ran's heart moved. He was about to buy a pair of ancient calligraphy and painting for Ma Zhiyuan, and now it was just right, but he didn't know whether the old lady's one was suitable.
"Mom, can I take a look?"
If someone else told Chen Ran such a story, Chen Ran would naturally not comment, but now it was Wang Liang who told it. Obviously Wang Liang would never make up a story to fool him. Needless to say, this ancient calligraphy and painting is also authentic.
Let’s see whose original work it is and whether it has any collection value...
The old lady was a little worried about Chen Ran. She glanced at Wang Liang and saw Wang Liang nodding. She hesitated for a moment and then cautiously opened the bundle she was holding.
"It's not very convenient here. Let's go to the car and take a look." Chen Ran took a look and saw that there was a black box in the bag. He did not open it on the spot, but took Wang Liang and the old lady into the car and got in.
Finally, he carefully took the black box over. The black box was not made of good material. It had been corroded and rough. Several pieces had fallen off where the lock was installed.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ran was somewhat disappointed. If the calligraphy and painting were valuable, they would not be preserved in such a box, but it was hard to say exactly.
After opening the box, there was a piece of red silk. When the silk was opened, a scroll was seen. This scroll used a dark green jade pendant as a button to hold the scrolls together. This jade pendant made Chen Ran
His eyes lit up. The jade pendant was obviously carved from Nandu Dushan jade, and the carving material was not bad. Even from Chen Ran's point of view, the carving was very good. The jade pendant really made him interested.
"Dunhuang?"
After opening the scroll, what appeared in front of him was a calligraphy and painting about two meters long. Chen Ran looked at the inscription first. The inscription was the word Dunhuang. Next to Dunhuang was a rectangular seal engraved. The two words Dunhuang
The words made Chen Ran's heart move.
"How's it going, Chen Ran?" Wang Liang, who was sitting on the side helping Chen Ran with his calligraphy and painting, saw Chen Ran frowning and couldn't help but asked worriedly.
The old lady also looked at Chen Ran nervously. This calligraphy and painting was already the hope of her family. If it was not worth it, she wouldn't know how to live in the future.
"Let's take a look first and then talk."
To be precise, this calligraphy and painting should be a scripture. The calligraphy is in regular script, and the handwriting is beautiful and strong. The paper on which the writing is written is like brown, has a thick texture, good toughness, and feels smooth and smooth.
After seeing that it was a scripture, and adding the word "Dunhuang", the origin of this calligraphy and painting was immediately revealed. Chen Ran was extremely happy. He did not expect to see Dunhuang manuscripts here.
Many people must have heard of the story of the Tang Dynasty people who wrote scriptures and Wang Taoist priests who sold them. The monks of the Mogao Grottoes hid the scriptures and pictures collected by the past dynasties in a complex room of the cave. They built a mud wall to seal the outside and the treasures were hidden in the cave.
It has been buried for nearly a thousand years. At the beginning of the last century, the mud wall was broken open, and tens of thousands of scriptures suddenly appeared, which shocked foreigners. Since then, so-called "explorers" from Britain, France, Russia, the United States, Japan and other countries have come here to steal
Bao...the story of the Tang Dynasty writing scriptures also became famous.
After the sensation of writing scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, the story of Taoist Wang selling scriptures was introduced, which caused an uproar in the country. Taoist Wang also became a criminal in history. However, there are also objective sayings that the responsibility should not be attributed to individuals, but to individuals.
It is history’s mockery of the whole of China,
Specifically, this cave was discovered by Wang Daoren. After discovering the scriptures hidden in the cave, Wang Daoren also made great efforts at first. He first went on foot and informed the county magistrate at that time, and attached two volumes of scriptures. Wang Daoren's
The purpose is very clear, hoping to attract attention, but in the end, neither this county magistrate nor the later Xinzhi County paid attention to it. The two county magistrates had no results. The king was unwilling to accept it, and slept in the open, single-handedly, risking wolves and bandits to steal what he had gained.
He walked 800 miles on foot to find the Taoist platform at that time. However, after seeing it, the Taoist monk only said one sentence: The calligraphy on the scroll was not as good as his calligraphy.
Later, Wang Daoren found many people, and even boldly wrote superstitious letters to Lafayette, but they were not taken seriously. Later, when Stein came to China, Wang Daoren was moved by his spirit. Coupled with various reasons, he had no choice but to
Next, it was actually sold to Stein. Stein bought the suicide notes twice and more than 10,000 cultural relics. After buying them, he announced them to the world. The scriptures became famous for a while, because these suicide notes were not pure scriptures, but also involved medical texts.
After various records and scriptures became famous, the officials of the dynasty paid more attention to it, but instead of protecting it, they robbed it. After robbing it, they sold it one after another. In a few years, the British, French,
The Japanese, Russians, and Americans all took away a large amount of Chinese culture with a small amount of silver coins.
Chen Ran didn't expect that there are still Dunhuang posthumous books circulating outside. You must know that except for a few countries that robbed most of the Tang Dynasty's sutras, the rest are in the Beijing Library, and almost none are circulated among the people.
Chen Ran did not need to identify the energy aperture, but he could also conclude that this scripture should be the Dunhuang suicide note. Each volume of the Dunhuang suicide note has great value. The value here is not how much money it is, but its historical value. Some are even valuable.
It involves many lost skills.
"More than a thousand years ago, that was undoubtedly the Tang Dynasty."
Chen Ran finally used the energy aperture to detect it. Sure enough, as he identified, this scripture was a veritable Dunhuang suicide note. This result made him extremely happy. He even wanted to put it in his pocket. The Dunhuang suicide note
Its value and charm are unparalleled in the collection world. It goes beyond the scope of calligraphy, but is a symbol of spirituality, with great significance and value.
"Huh? What is this?"
When using the energy aperture to identify this scripture, Chen Ran's energy aperture not only absorbed the aperture of the scripture, but also made an unexpected discovery unintentionally.
There is something hidden in the scroll of scripture...
