    After Wu Ke heard what Chu Chen said, he looked at him strangely.  "What, are there flowers on my face?" Chu Chen touched his face and asked in surprise.  Wu Ke giggled when he heard this and said with a sweet smile: "If flowers could grow on your face, it would be an eternal miracle. I just find it strange. Why do you have to say that this piano must have been made earlier than the Tang Dynasty?  Did you find any clues? " Chu Chen said with a smile: "If you want to know the clue, you can just look at the inscription on the back? " "Yes! Why did I forget that there is an inscription?"  But suddenly he realized it, and then he quickly turned the piano over.  The structure of the guqin is still very particular. The upper part of the "head" is called the forehead.  The lower end of the forehead is inlaid with hardwood for stringing, which is called "Yueshan", also known as "Linyue". It is the highest part of the piano.  There are two sound grooves, large and small, at the bottom of the piano. The larger one in the middle is called "Dragon Pond" and the smaller one at the tail is called "Phoenix Pond".  This is called going up the mountain and going down the marsh, and there are dragons and phoenixes, symbolizing all the phenomena of heaven and earth.  There is a hardwood strip on the forehead side of Yueshan, which is called "Chenglu".  There are seven "string eyes" on it, which are used to thread and tie the strings.  There are seven "Qin Zhen" under it for tuning strings.  On the side of the head of the piano, there are "phoenix eyes" and "guards".  From the waist down, it is called "Qinwei".  The tail of the instrument is inlaid with a hardwood "dragon gum" carved with shallow grooves to hold the strings.  The edges on both sides of the dragon's gum are called "crown angles", also known as "burnt tails".  The seven strings rise from the exposed part, pass through Yue Mountain and Long Gu, and turn to a pair of "goose feet" at the bottom of the piano, symbolizing the seven stars.  There are thirteen "Qin emblems" on the surface of the piano, symbolizing the twelve months of the year and a leap month.  Usually the name of a qin is engraved on the dragon pond, but Wu Ke was a little dumbfounded when he saw it.  Because although there is an inscription on it, it is in gold.  She couldn't understand it at all.  When Chu Chen saw Wu Ke looking at him, he smiled and said: "The two characters 'Rao Liang' are engraved on this dragon pond. The four characters 'Yu Yin Rao Liang' are engraved on the left and right." "Yu Yin Rao Liang" comes from "Yu Yin Rao Liang".  A story in Liezi: During the Zhou Dynasty, a woman named Han E went to Qi State. When passing by Yongmen, she ran out of money and food, so she had no choice but to sell and sing for food.  Her sad singing voice swirled in the air, like the long cry of a lone wild goose.  Three days after Han E left, her singing still lingered around the beams of the house, making it unforgettable.  After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s explanation, Wu Ke¡¯s eyes widened.  He was stunned and exclaimed: "Achen, you mean, this is the Yaoliang among the four famous harps?" The four famous harps in ancient China refer to the "Hao Zhong" played by Duke Huan of Qi, the "Rao Liang" played by King Zhuang of Chu,  Sima Xiangru's "Green Qi" and Cai Yong's "Jiaowei".  These four qins are known as the "Four Famous Qins".  Chu Chen nodded and said: "That's what it says on it. At least the name of this guqin should be 'Rao Liang'." Wu Ke was very surprised and said: "Didn't Yao Liang be broken into pieces by King Chuzhuang's order? This  Is it an imitation? " It is said that "Rao Liang" was a gift from a man named Hua Yuan to King Zhuang of Chu. The year of its production is unknown.  Since King Zhuang of Chu got "Rao Liang", he played the piano all day long and was intoxicated by the music.  Once, King Zhuang of Chu did not go to court for seven days in a row.  Leave all national affairs behind.  Princess Fan Ji was extremely anxious and advised King Chuzhuang: "Your Majesty, you are too immersed in music! In the past, Xia Jie loved Yu Xi's music so much that he was killed. King Zhou mistakenly listened to Mi Mi's music and lost his life.  Jiangshan Sheji. Now that the king loves the "Rao Liang" piano, is he willing to lose his country and his life if he doesn't come to court for seven days?" King Zhuang of Chu fell into deep thought after hearing this.  He couldn't resist the temptation to go around.  I had no choice but to bear the pain and give up my love, and ordered people to beat the piano with iron Ruyi.  The body of the instrument was broken into several pieces.  From then on, the famous "Rou Liang" piano that was envied by everyone stopped playing.  A legendary piano that had been broken into several pieces appeared in front of him again, and the appearance of the piano did not look like it was more than 2,600 years ago. Wu Ke certainly had reason to suspect that this piano was indeed an imitation.  Taste.  Chu Chen nodded and said: "If we go by the legend and the degree of oxidation of the material, this piano may indeed be an imitation, but we cannot take it for granted in our identification. Whether it is true or false, we must find corresponding evidence.  "Wu Ke asked: "Then how do we identify its authenticity?" Chu Chen said: "Generally speaking, it depends on its pattern, style, and material, inscriptions, etc.  He nodded: "Oh, we have seen the pattern, so now we have to look at its style? By the way, how many styles of harps are there?" The harp is an instrument full of cultural connotations.  .  Just from the shape of the piano, it can be said that it has a whole body and a rhyme.  The Qin is generally about three feet six inches long (about 120-125 centimeters), symbolizing the three hundred and sixty-five days in a year (some say it is like the 365 degrees in the sky).  General width?Six inches (about 20 cm).  It is generally about two inches thick (about 6 centimeters).  The Qin was first made in the shape of a phoenix body. Its whole body corresponds to the body of a phoenix (it can also be said to correspond to the human body), with a head, neck, shoulders, waist, tail and feet.  Chu Chen shook his head and said: "The shape of the guqin was originally the shape of a "Cheng" ritual instrument with five strings. Legend has it that it was a divine instrument made by Shennong to communicate with heaven and man. There are many styles of guqin, as can be seen in "Jun Tianzhu Qin Lu"  "There are more than a hundred styles of guqin recorded in it, the most common ones are Zhongni style, Fuxi style, Lianzhu style, banana leaf style, Luoxia style and other styles." Wu Ke looked at the guqin in front of him carefully.  , and then said: "Then what style is this guqin? The guqin my father bought for me was a Zhongni style. This guqin is nothing like mine. Instead, it looks like the bronze chine you bought.  Is this qin really a guqin?" Chu Chen said: "It's hard to say whether it is a qin, but judging from the style of the qin, it should be the earliest guqin style. As for the Zhongni style you mentioned, it is from the late Tang Dynasty.  A style that emerged was mainly due to the popularity of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and the admiration of Confucius, so the style of Zhongni did not become popular until the Song Dynasty. " "That's right!" Wu Ke!  She really thought that the Zhongni style was created by Confucius. Then she asked: "Then which dynasty did this style of guqin come from?" Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "My research on guqin is really not deep.  , so I don¡¯t know if this is the style of Guqin from the Zhou Dynasty.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s talk about the texture and inscriptions of this Qin!¡± Wu Ke said, ¡°I heard it from the teacher before.  , the ancients usually used paulownia wood on the top and catalpa wood on the bottom, using the softness of the paulownia wood and the hardness of the catalpa wood, and the combination of yin and yang to achieve the wonderful sound.  Even if the paulownia wood is well preserved, it cannot be like this piano." Chu Chen said, "Well, you're right, but if it is really a Zhaoliang Qin, the record doesn't even make it clear.  Not to mention the materials used. ""The only thing left is the inscription?" Wu Ke frowned, and then said: "But the inscription is also possible, but it's not possible.  The appraisal still has some reference value." As he said that, Chu Chen looked at the inscription carefully.  "Judging from the performance of the inscription, it seems that it has been carved for a long time, but as long as it has experienced hundreds of years, it should have such an effect Hey, there seems to be an inscription here in Fengnum!" Wu Ke  As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a looming inscription on Feng Marsh, and he quickly reminded Chu Chen.  "This is 'Wu Jun Ruming'! Who is this person?" The inscription is engraved on the left and right sides of Fengnum. Because it is official script, it is not like the bronze inscription just now. Wu Ke can tell it at a glance.  Chu Chen explained: "This person should be Yu Ruming, a scholar from the Song Dynasty. He was from Wu County at that time, which is our current Sushi city."  The record: "Hua Yuan presented Chuzhuang King with a qin that wound around the beams and drummed it. The sound was curling around the beams, circulating endlessly." After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wu Ke said: "Could it be that this guqin was imitated by Yu Ruming?"  ?" Chu Chen replied: "It's possible what you said, but it's more likely that Yu Ruming carved it on purpose. If you don't believe me, look at the comparison of the two inscriptions on Longchi and Fengmarsh. It can be clearly seen that '  Wu Jun Ruming's artistic conception is much lower. "Generally speaking, collectors will cherish things like the four major guqins and would never do anything to damage them, but there are inevitably some in this world.  Those who seek fame and reputation do this deliberately in order to keep their reputations alive.  Wu Ke quickly looked at it carefully and found that it was exactly as Chu Chen said. In terms of artistic conception, the inscriptions in Feng Marsh cannot be compared with those in Longchi.  Seeing this situation, Wu Ke immediately said excitedly: "Achen, then this guqin might be the Yaoliangqin!" However, as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately overturned her inference and said: "But, the two  Is it really possible for a guqin from more than a thousand years ago to be handed down? Could it be an imitation made in the Tang Dynasty or the Northern and Southern Dynasties? " For Wu Ke, she also hopes that this guqin can be one of the four famous guqins.  "Going around", but if this guqin was genuine, it would subvert her worldview too much, which made her feel very conflicted.  In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the supernatural power that revealed the time and value of this guqin¡¯s production, it would be hard for Chu Chen to believe that this guqin would be the most popular among the four major guqins. But even if he knew that this guqin wouldHe was interested in the Liangqin, but he couldn't explain why a Guqin from more than 2,600 years ago could be passed down to this day.  Wu Ke asked: "Achen, do you know any other methods for identifying the age of Guqin?" Chu Chen shook his head: "I really don't know much about the identification of Guqin. Apart from these four points, I really can't think of anything.  There is no other way."
