As for the bamboo slips of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of them are Taoist classics, and a few are written in other types of texts. They are very valuable. There is even an article written by Cai Yong, a famous litterateur in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When it comes to Cai Yong, many people may be unfamiliar with it, but he is the father of the famous talented woman Cai Wenji. Because he was promoted to General Zuo Zhonglang, later generations called him Cai Zhonglang.
He is not only a famous litterateur, but also a calligrapher, especially a self-created calligraphy called Feibai style.
It is said that this was created by Cai Yong after he was inspired by the craftsmen who built Hongdumen who used a broom dipped in whitewash to paint characters. It had a great influence on later generations.
It's just that this article was written on a bamboo slip. Even so, this bamboo slip is extremely precious. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty improved the papermaking technology, the quality of the paper produced was worrying, and it could not be used. Those who got up are all princes and nobles.
Since Cai Yong was able to create Feibai style, which had a great influence on later generations, his calligraphy level will not be much worse.
What's more, she is the father of Cai Wenji. Although many people know this talented woman in modern times, there are not many records of her deeds in history. The only works that can be seen now are two poems of grief and anger and music. Hu Jia Shiba was filmed.
After careful study, he found that the calligraphy on the bamboo slips was very exquisite, and there were many things he could learn from. He suppressed the urge to copy it immediately, and then continued to look at the remaining bamboo slips in his mind.
However, he could not find the several bamboo slips from the Western Han Dynasty mentioned by Taoist Qiuyue, because the age of these bamboo slips was beyond the scope of his top appraisal skills. If you want to see it, you can only go to the secret room to take a look.
In addition to the bamboo slips, he also identified some paintings and calligraphy works stored in the cabinet, but he got some unexpected surprises.
Although the number of these calligraphy and painting works is not large, each one is very precious. Here, Chen Yi saw "Ode to the Virtue of Wine" written by Liu Ling, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.
The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove are very famous both in modern times and in other dynasties. Many calligraphers and painters use their stories as themes.
Liu Ling once joined the army under the shogunate of a general. Later, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Taishichu made inquiries to the court. He emphasized governance by inaction and was dismissed for incompetence. He was addicted to alcohol throughout his life. He once wrote "Ode to the Virtue of Wine" to promote the thoughts of Lao and Zhuang and his taste for indulgence in drinking. He despises traditional etiquette and has the lowest social status among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.
The poems and essays left by this person in modern times include only one ode to the virtue of wine and one poem about Beimang Guest House.
He did not expect to find this calligraphy of Ode to Wine in Donghua Temple. Judging from the identification information, it was an authentic work by Liu Ling.
It is said that Liu Ling is less than 1.5 meters tall, so she is not only short. And his appearance is extremely ugly, but his temperament is bold and broad-minded. He does not stick to trivial matters, does not interact with others excessively, is taciturn, and has no concern for the world. He is only very speculative with Ruan Ji, Ji Kang and others among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. So he joined the ranks of the Seven Sages.
This article is about two sets of fictitious opposing characters. One is an image of an adult who only drinks wine. The other is the aristocratic son and the gentry virgin, representing two different attitudes towards life.
His calligraphy also has some merits. From the lightness of the handwriting, it can be seen that this person is as broad-minded as the legend. A person who is less than 1.5 meters tall and ugly in appearance. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been pessimistic and world-weary and hate others. Very few are normal, let alone open-minded.
As for why Donghua Temple obtained Liu Ling’s original calligraphy, Chen Yi didn’t want to guess. The most likely possibility was that it was brought over by some Taoist temples that were merged into Donghua Temple.
After all, with Taoist Master Qiuyue's ability, he was able to obtain Wang Xizhi's authentic works. However, Liu Ling's fame could not even catch up with Wang Xizhi's, whether it was social status or fame.
In addition, among these paintings and calligraphy, there is also a portrait of a Taoist deity painted by Wei Xie, a famous painter in the Western Jin Dynasty. He is also known as a painting sage with Zhang Mo. His best is Taoist figures. It can be said to be unrivaled in contemporary times.
Seeing this painting, Chen Yi showed a thick smile on his face. It is really a mountain with no way out, but another village has a bright future. Although this Wei Xie is not as famous as Gu Kaizhi and others, he is also a good painter. A worthy character.
It is said that he did not dare to touch the eyes when painting figures for fear of turning them into living people. Although this is just a fictitious legend, Gu Kaizhi was deeply influenced by it. He once praised him for his ingenuity and thoughtfulness, and was extremely valuable in the world. Even Gu Kaizhi did so. Those who praise him are definitely not weak in painting skills.
The Taoist immortal figures in this painting are very vivid, and their eyes are very unique and the finishing touch.??Yi smiled. Although he didn't know if this painting could open a copy world, he could enter the copy world from it.
Next, he looked at other calligraphy paintings. Although some were made by people from the Three Kingdoms period, they were not particularly famous.
When he came to this dungeon world, in addition to wanting to learn from Wang Xizhi, he also wanted to see Zhang Fei's calligraphy, but this Donghua Temple did not have it. If he could get a carefully crafted work, then opening the Three Kingdoms dungeon world would be enough. It doesn't matter, but even if there are no authentic works of Zhang Fei, it will be the same if we can get the authentic paintings and calligraphy of other famous figures.
After looking at the things he identified, he picked out the most important ones. Two of them were the Wei Xie's paintings and Cai Yong's bamboo slips. He felt that in this book, From the painting, he can gain a lot.
After reading it, Chen Yi checked the time of the identification system, then materialized Cai Yong's bamboo slip, holding it in his hand and watching it constantly.
At the same time, he used his hand to write and kept copying in the air. During the copying process, he also felt a very rich artistic conception, which made him deeply appreciate the exquisiteness of the words on this bamboo slip.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yi walked out of the room. He found a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple and asked Taoist Master Qiuyue. He learned that he was handling affairs in the front temple. He smiled and stopped preparing to notify Taoist priest Qiuyue then came to the library alone.
The Taoist priests on duty at the Cangshuge Pavilion had already received instructions from Taoist Master Qiuyue. When they saw Chen Yi, they all saluted and called Master Chen Yi.
Chen Yi also returned the courtesy to them, and then prepared to walk into the library pavilion. Although he could not enter the secret room without Taoist Qiuyue, the books outside were enough for him to view and appraise.
Just as he was about to enter, one of the middle-aged Taoist priests said: "Jushi Chen, the temple master has given instructions. If you want to enter the secret room, you can come here and let me know, and I will be responsible for opening the secret room."
"Oh, if that's the case, I'd like to thank the Taoist Priest. I'll look at the books outside first." Chen Yi had a look of surprise on his face, but he didn't expect that Taoist Priest Qiuyue had already arranged everything.
This middle-aged Taoist priest should be the person in charge of the library. It is not surprising that he knows how to open the secret room. It cannot be that only Taoist Qiuyue in the entire Taoist temple knows how to open the secret room. Then if something happens to Taoist Qiuyue, what belongs to this secret room? It would be very difficult to take out the precious classics of Donghua Temple.
"Master Chen, please let me know. If necessary, you can contact me." The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded and said.
Chen Yi started his appraisal and viewing journey in this library pavilion. When he came here in the morning, he only appraised part of the library pavilion.
“After all, in the age of these books, you must use top-level identification techniques to identify them, and top-level identification techniques consume four points of energy.
The energy value he currently possesses is more than 100 points, and he can only identify it about twenty-five times at a time. Even if there is something that can fill the energy value at once, he will still need a certain amount of time.
When he was in Sanqing Temple, he needed to identify the books one by one and then touch them to get the identification points. Now he has the spiritual energy absorption technique. He can absorb the spiritual energy from the antiques and cultural relics without touching them, which allows him to Got a lot of conveniences.
Even so, Chen Yi took out a bamboo slip from time to time and looked at it. Although the bamboo slips outside were not as precious as those in the secret room, their writing characteristics also had their own characteristics.
It took him some time to identify all the books outside the library and absorb the spiritual energy in them.
"However, there are not many identification points obtained, only more than a thousand points. Some books are too close to the present time, and there is no aura generated in them at all.
After all, there is a big gap between Donghua Temple and Sanqing Temple. Coupled with the years of war, it is already very good for the library to be as large as it is now.
After looking at the books outside, Chen Yi found the middle-aged Taoist priest and asked to go to the secret room to take a look. The middle-aged Taoist priest naturally agreed, took Chen Yi to the secret room, opened the door, and lit the candles in it. Finally, he left Chen Yi alone in the secret room while he left.
Chen Yi smiled. This was naturally what Taoist Qiuyue meant. He must be afraid of disturbing his viewing. As for whether he was worried about taking away the books in the secret room, after the exchange last morning, this kind of worry, But it won't exist.
"Just like a person like Wang Xizhi, when he comes to a person's home and looks at books, calligraphy and paintings, even if there is something he particularly wants, he will take the initiative to ask for it instead of secretlyIf you leave, no one else will believe you. This is the guarantee of a person's ability and reputation.
In this secret room, Chen Yi walked up to the bamboo slips that were previously reported to be unidentifiable, and wanted to see what was written on the bamboo slips from the Western Han Dynasty BC. (To be continued)
