    After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.  Although the year of birth and death of Wu Yingmao is unknown, judging from the titles of some of Wu Yingmao's works, it seems that he probably lived in the era when Xiang Yuanbian was active. In other words, it is very likely that the "Luo Shen Fu" in front of him is from  It was passed down from Wu Yingmao to Xiang Yuanbian.  Coupled with the experiences of the two subsequent owners, Xiang Yuanbian and Gu Wei, it is reasonable that this masterpiece of Zhao Mengfu has remained unknown.  At this time, Professor Zheng thought of another question and asked: "But why did this "Luo Shen Fu" remain unknown during this period from the time it was completed to when it was obtained by Wu Yingmao?" Mr. Ou spoke.  Said: "I think this has a lot to do with whether the work is written for Guan Sheng." Guan Sheng was a famous female calligrapher, painter, and poetry writer in the Yuan Dynasty.  She is the wife of Zhao Mengfu, who was granted the title of Madam of Wuxing County and is known as Mrs. Guan in the world.  Guan Sheng and Zhao Mengfu had a very good relationship. Of course, taking concubines was a normal thing in ancient times. Zhao Mengfu also had this idea and mentioned it directly to Guan Sheng. Of course, Guan Sheng was not satisfied, so he wrote  The famous song "Wo Nong Ci".  The smooth spoken language, vivid images, sincere feelings and thought-provoking words in the poem made Zhao Mengfu feel deeply guilty and finally changed his mind and gave up the idea of ??taking a concubine.  In the fifth year of Yanyou (1318), Mrs. Guan's beriberi recurred. After Zhao Mengfu's repeated requests, in April of the following year, he was allowed to send his wife back south.  In mid-May, while passing through Linqing, Shandong Province, Mrs. Guan died of illness in the boat.  Zhao Mengfu was extremely sad.  He personally wrote the "Epitaph of the Lady Guan of Wei" for her.  Mrs. Guan, who had been so supportive of each other, gave up and left, giving Zhao Mengfu a big blow.  His false reputation in officialdom.  And therefore completely see through.  Traveling long distances due to being widowed.  Zhao Mengfu's health declined sharply in his later years due to the funeral arrangements.  In the seventh year of Yanyou's reign, Renzong sent a special envoy to give him clothes and satin, and summoned Zhao Mengfu to return to the capital. However, at this time, Zhao Mengfu could no longer travel long distances due to illness.  The following year, Yingzong came to the throne and once again sent envoys to Zhao to write the "Book of Filial Piety". Zhao requested to become an official because of his old age and frailty, and finally got the court's permission.  At this time, Zhao Mengfu was suffering from tinnitus and dazzling eyes, and he was slumped and old.  But he was devoted to the purpose of Buddhism and Taoism.  He enjoyed writing scriptures and wrote many calligraphy and painting works and inscriptions Mr. Ou continued: "Judging from the inscription, this work was created in the second year after Duan Sheng's death. Zhao Mengfu painted it because of the strong grief in his heart.  It was written down. Because the meaning of this work is different, Zhao Mengfu must have kept it himself after it was completed. " "After Zhao Mengfu passed away, and because of its meaning, it was impossible for the Zhao family to save it unless they were desperate.  The work was sold. Therefore, I think this work may have been kept in the hands of Zhao Mengfu's descendants, and it was possible that it was transferred to Wu Yingmao for unknown reasons. "Ou Lao's explanation.  Everyone also thought it was quite reasonable. Although Professor Zheng also felt that the facts might not be much different, he immediately thought of another possibility.  He said: "What you said, Mr. Ou, does make sense, but I also have a guess. Could it be that Zhao Mengfu's descendants have a good relationship with Wu Yingmao because they want to sell more money. So Wu Yingmao deliberately let Wu Yingmao use Zhu Zhishan's  What about writing such a postscript in the name? Otherwise, Wu Yingmao wouldn't write a postscript that would leave a reputation for not much added value, right? " "What you said does make sense."  Mr. Ou said with a smile: "But, as modern people, we have no way of knowing what this matter is. If we do research, we only need to have a reasonable explanation. If we insist on digging into the wrong, we are looking for fault.  Accept it." Everyone nodded and agreed with Mr. Ou's words.  After a while, Zhao Xueyi asked: "So, this "Luo Shen Fu" is undoubtedly authentic?" "Whether it is authentic, let's first talk about the characteristics of Zhao style regular script." Mr. Liu said with a smile.  : "First, Zhao Mengfu, on the basis of inheriting traditional calligraphy, cut away complexity and simplified it, transforming the past into the present. His brushwork does not contain ambiguity and is not deliberately mysterious. The strokes of starting, moving and finishing the brush are very clear." "Second  , Zhao style regular script, has a rounded appearance and strong bones, its stipples are vigorous, and the structure is broad and beautiful. The lines between the stipples appear to be soft on the outside but strong on the inside. The shape is elegant and the frame is strong. " "  Third, the pen is round and square, with flowing lines. When writing in Zhao style, the stipples need to be round and elegant, but the structure and layout should be square and rigorous, with horizontal and vertical lines, smooth strokes, and stable emphasis. In addition, Zhao Mengfu used a little blending when writing regular script.  The strokes of running script make the words flowing and beautiful, which is also one of the characteristics of Zhao style." Speaking of this, Mr. Liu pointed to the calligraphy work in front of him and said: "Understanding the characteristics of Zhao style, we??After further comparison, we can see that this "Luo Shen Fu" is obviously in the style of Zhao Ti's regular script, and the writing habits are consistent with Zhao Mengfu's.  " "Although Zhao Mengfu was no longer frail when he wrote this work, from the lines of the words, we can still see that his brushstrokes are square and powerful, elegant and strong, meticulous in every stroke, and his character is deep and stable.  The writing style is smooth and casual, yet unconventional and strict. Its structure is sparse, handsome, elegant and free. This is basically the same style as the "Inscription on Qiu E's Tombstone" written in the sixth year of Yanyou's reign.  " Having said this, Mr. Liu chuckled and said: "So, regardless of the postscript, this work can be said to be an authentic work with basically no flaws in any aspect. I don't know any reason to say it is.  Counterfeit.  " "To say that things like collection seals are useful in the appraisal of calligraphy and paintings, but to think that they can be used to confirm the authenticity of a work is to overdo it.  " Hearing what Mr. Liu said, Mr. Ou and Zhao Xueyi both felt a little ashamed. After all, they had appraised this calligraphy work before, and they both knew that except for the end of the postscript, there were no problems in other aspects. The reason why they had doubts in the end was,  It does mean to overgeneralize. Mr. Liu looked at the ashamed looks on the two people's faces and said, "You don't have to be like this. After all, it is understandable to be cautious about such precious things. I say this because I hope you will pay more attention to this aspect in the future.  Otherwise, it would be a pity to miss such a treasure again.  " After all, Mr. Ou is helping to identify the thing. Even if the thing is real, it cannot belong to him, so it's okay. " However, Zhao Xueyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, because if he had been more confident, the national treasure in front of him would be  Calligraphy can be put into his own pocket, and he doesn't have to regret it as much as he does now. However, the matter is now over, and there is no regret medicine for him in the world. Besides, he is not the only one who made a mistake. This comforts himself, Zhao Xueyi feels in his heart.  Everyone felt a little relieved. After appreciating the work, Mr. Ou asked, "Xiao Chu, do you have time this Sunday?"  " Chu Chen said with some embarrassment: "I have already booked a ticket to Jinling on Saturday. What can I do for you?  "Ou Lao said regretfully: "Oh!  I think it's a pity that this "Luo Shen Fu" has been buried. This Sunday, isn't our association having a gathering? I was wondering if you could take this calligraphy there, so that our colleagues in the capital can see it.  Open your eyes.  " Anyway, he was going to open a museum in the future. Chu Chen had no plans to keep it secret, but he didn't want to change his schedule, so he looked at Mr. Liu and Uncle Wu and asked, "Are you two going to be there?  " Mr. Liu shook his head, and Uncle Wu said: "Then I will bring my things there!  " When Mr. Ou heard the good news, he happily thanked: "Thank you so much"  Because he was going to Jinling on Saturday, Chu Chen hurried to his grandfather's group while there was still time.  He did some diagnosis and treatment and saw that the medicine he prepared was effective. He put down his anxiety and was very happy. After treating his grandfather, Chu Chen went to help Zhenzhen who had just arrived from Shu.  I did a routine acupuncture and had dinner with my friends in the evening. The day passed quickly. On Friday morning, Chu Chen came to the store. After finishing some trivial matters, he wanted to go to the market.  However, before he could go out, he saw Yuan Hongjian walking in quickly from the door with a box in hand. "Hey, Teacher Chu, you are here too!  " Chu Chen smiled and said hello to Yuan Hongjian, and then asked: "Elder Yuan, what good things did you buy again?  Yuan Hongjian waved his hand and said: "What a good thing. It's just a set of jade belt boards I just bought. I'd like to ask all the teachers to comment on it."  "Okay, let's go in and talk" Chu Chen led Yuan Hongjian into the reception room. Seeing that Yuan Hongjian was still holding something in his hand, Mr. Liu understood what was going on and said with a smile: "Old Yuan, yes  Aren't you unable to help but take action again?  " Yuan Hongjian laughed and said: "I really couldn't help it, but I thought this set of jade belt materials was old and the price was not too expensive, so I bought it.  Teachers, I would like to trouble you to take a look" "A jade belt is a belt inlaid with several or even ten flat jade plates. It is a symbol of ancient official taste. Jade belts are square, rectangular, peach-shaped, etc.,  Jade belts with often engraved patterns on their surfaces first appeared in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and were used until the Ming Dynasty. The jade belt system was abolished in the Qing Dynasty. The material of this set of jade belts brought by Yuan Hongjian was blue and white jade. The shape is the Ming Dynasty style and the size is basically the same.  Seven bucks, butThey are all with boards and cannot form a set.  ??The jade belt board looks rough and the carving is okay. It is hollowed out and double-layered, and it is decorated with flower and bird patterns. However, if you look closely, it looks a bit dull and not so vivid.  Therefore, when Chu Chen and Uncle Wu took a closer look, they knew that Yuan Hongjian must have had a blind eye.  (To be continued) PS: Thank you "Legend 1991a" for receiving the Light of the Great God!
