    Seeing the old lady's last statement, Chu Chen felt much better.  Originally, the old lady's situation was indeed pitiful, but just because she was pitiful, shouldn't Chu Chen buy her things at a more expensive price?  The reason why Chu Chen agreed to purchase was not only because the old lady's plight was indeed pitiful, but also because Qi Baofu said on the phone that the old lady's family were all good people and warm-hearted people, otherwise he would not have introduced Chu Chen to the old lady.  Chen.  ¡° Putting aside whether Qi Baofu misjudged the person, at least based on his face, Chu Chen would also do this deal.  Fortunately, the old lady is indeed a sensible person, otherwise it would really feel like some poor people must be hateful.  Since Chu Chen was busy decorating the museum, he put the wardrobe there after buying it.  After everything in the museum was settled, Chu Chen saw the wardrobe again, became interested, and inspected it carefully.  The results of the inspection also surprised him. The wardrobe actually had a hidden compartment that was not visible on the surface. When he opened it, he found that in addition to several ancient books, there was also a rather thick-looking book inside.  Hand roll.  Moreover, this hand scroll is actually written on silkworm cocoon paper.  ¡°Cocoon paper¡± means paper made from silkworm cocoon shells.  This kind of paper has a long history. Among them, Liu Yiqing introduced it in "Shishuo Xinyu": "Wang Xizhi used silkworm cocoon paper for the preface to Lanting, and the paper is repaired like leather." This clearly shows that Wang Xizhi used silkworm cocoon paper to write "Lanting Preface"  .  ¡Ù¡á The characteristics of silkworm cocoon paper are that the paper is very thin and the front is smooth, the fibers are evenly interwoven, it is resistant to insects and has a long lifespan, and the ink penetrates through the back of the paper after writing, making it smooth and crisp.  It's really the best quality paper.  It is now difficult to see silkworm cocoon paper from the Jin Dynasty. What can be seen is the silkworm cocoon paper from the Song Dynasty.  The light yellow color of the paper resembles the appearance of cocoon silk.  But according to research, the so-called cocoon paper.  In fact, it is not made from silkworm cocoons, but paper made from paper fibers from the bark of paper mulberry (also known as Pu tree).  The bark of the tree contains a layer of gel coat, and the fiber is pure and white. After being made into paper, it is bright and delicate, as white as a silkworm cocoon and as thin as silk, hence the name silkworm cocoon paper.  No matter what, since this hand scroll can be written on high-quality paper such as silkworm cocoon paper, it must not be too bad.  then.  Chu Chen quickly called the others together and carefully unfolded the roll.  This hand scroll is very long, more than 20 meters long when unfolded, and the content on it immediately made everyone exclaim, because not only is the content on it the same as Xue Ji's "The Monument of Zen Master Xinxing", but it also looks like  It seems to be still authentic.  The reason why everyone behaves like this is because the author Xue Ji's achievements in the art of calligraphy and painting are so outstanding.  I think everyone knows that Chinese characters are in the process of their evolution.  Various forms and writing styles including seal script, Li script, Cao script, Kai script and Xing script have been formed. However, the most widely used and popular font in printed matter is the Song script which belongs to regular script.  This type of font is highly praised for its sparseness and strength, insightful backbone, lean form, and clear expression.  Song style characters, as the name suggests.  It is a font created in the Song Dynasty.  In fact, Song-style characters did get their name because they were approved and spread in the Song Dynasty.  For a long time, it has been said that Song-style characters were created by Qin Hui.  Because he was a traitor, the Song Dynasty court adopted him as a state body.  It's called Song Dynasty.  This is because Qin Hui deliberately imitated the "Skinny Gold Book" he created in order to please Song Huizong.  This is how later generations imitated the Song Dynasty style theory, and this legend came into existence.  But this is not actually the foundation and creation of Song-style characters, but just the evolution of Song-style characters in the process of evolution and development.  In fact, the originator of Song-style calligraphy is Xue Ji, one of the four great calligraphers of the early Tang Dynasty, who is as famous as Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Ouyang Xun.  People may be a little unfamiliar with Xue Ji, but when it comes to his great-grandfather Xue Daoheng, grandfather Xue Shou, and maternal grandfather Wei Zheng, they are well known to every household.  Wei Zheng also studied calligraphy quite a bit.  His fourth son, Wei Shuyu, is famous for his cursive writing.  After long-term exposure, Xue Ji had the convenient conditions to innovate the art of calligraphy.  One day, Xue Ji saw Chu Suiliang's calligraphy at Wei Zheng's house and couldn't put it down.  After his spare time in government affairs, he often went to observe and study, and then "dedicated to imitating and forgetting to be tired in his poor years." One day in the last month of Jinglong's reign, Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty gathered guests and displayed the mounted """ written by Wang Xizhi and Chu Suiliang.  "Ode to a Lonely Tree" was admired by everyone. Xue Ji was particularly fond of Chu Suiliang's calligraphy. While admiring it, he rubbed it with his fingers on his robe. He was so mesmerized that he forgot everything he did.  From then on, Xue Ji's admiration for Chu Suiliang grew stronger and stronger, and he continued to copy Chu Suiliang's calligraphy art. In the end, it was almost to the point of confusing the fake with the real one. People at the time said, "You can get Xue by buying Chu without losing his integrity."  .  In addition, Xue Ji also learned cursive writing from Wei Shuyu, the father of the fourth nose, who was good at cursive writing.  During this period, he not only integrated the many advantages and traditional techniques formed by the long-term writing process of Chinese characters, but also?And he also created a kind of writing and calligraphy with great individual characteristics and artistic charm.  This makes his calligraphy not only artistically superior, but also easy to be accepted by the public and disseminated in society.  As a result, this kind of font, which is artistic, not condescending, and has great practical value, eventually became a model for writing and disseminating Chinese characters, laying a solid foundation for the eventual formation of the Song-style characters that are widely used and disseminated today.  Regarding this point, Tao Zongyi, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said in "Shu Shi Hui Yao" about the "Skinny Gold Book" written by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty: "He was originally Xue Ji, but he changed his rules and called himself the Thin Gold Book."  It is further explained in "Yu Shi": "with reference to Chu Dengshan and Xue Shaobao (Xue Ji), the thin and hard spirit is like a cut jade, and it is also known as the Thin Gold Book in the world Today's imitation of Song Dynasty style is also from then on  "" Therefore, if we can trace the original source, Xue Ji should be the originator of Song style characters.  Although it is now "taken for granted" that Song characters were created by Song people, Xue Ji, the real creator, has gradually been forgotten.  Moreover, Xue Ji's poems are not as good as his books, and his books are not as good as his paintings.  In terms of painting, he is good at both flowers and birds, as well as figures. He is especially famous for his exquisite paintings of cranes.  Compared with his paintings, his calligraphy is indeed slightly less famous.  But you have to know that, except for the rubbings of the stele and inscriptions, none of Xue Ji's works have been handed down to the world, which shows how precious the "Stele of Zen Master Xinxing" discovered by Chu Chen is.  "Moreover, Xue Ji's "The Monument of Zen Master Xinxing" is the official inscription.  It is Xue Ji's representative work, bright and powerful.  The integrity of the bones is profound, and it has the legacy of Chu Suiliang's "Yique Shrine Stele".  At the same time, his lean style also influenced Liu Gongquan in the late Tang Dynasty and Emperor Huizong in the Song Dynasty.  This monument was erected in August of the second year of Shenlong in the Tang Dynasty.  The original stone has been lost for a long time.  There is a cut and framed copy of the rubbings from He Shao's tomb in the Qing Dynasty that has been passed down to the world, but the copy is incomplete.  This version is said to have flowed into the island country.  There are also rubbings from the Song Dynasty collected by Weng Tonghe. This copy was transported to the United States by Weng Wange in the late 1940s to avoid being lost in the war.  Although there may be some differences between the rubbings and the current hand scroll, you can still see the difference, and it will undoubtedly be easier to identify the authenticity.  Hearing that this treasure was obtained in this way, Mr. Ou said with a smile: "It's true that good people are rewarded!" Chu Chen laughed, waved his hand and said: "I just did what I could. It really doesn't count.  What's going on? Besides, haven't I got such a rare treasure? The reward is far greater than the effort. "Ou Lao said: "You can't say that, this is a small thing for you.  For the old lady and her family, this is a fate-changing event. So, you deserve this painting. Of course, if you feel a little guilty, you can give the old lady and her family a little help.  It¡¯s the most difficult thing to understand, so I suggest you have some control over it.¡± At the end of the sentence, Mr. Ou couldn¡¯t help but feel a little emotional.  Speaking of which, it was similar to what happened to Chu Chen.  He has also encountered it. At first, he felt that the other party's family was pitiful, and he deliberately gave some more money to the other party.  The other party found it strange.  I asked him why he did this, and Mr. Ou told him the truth.     result.  When the other party heard that the item was worth millions, they immediately stopped doing it.  Not only did he want to get that thing back, he actually said that besides that thing, there were treasures of higher value hidden by Mr. Ou.  Such rhetoric made Mr. Ou so angry that he immediately broke up with each other. However, the other party did not give up and even went to court.  Chu Chen has also heard about this matter. He heard that in the end, the judge made coordination and the district boss paid a sum of money to settle the matter.  Therefore, the district elder has been grudged for many years.  "Well, I will remember it." Of course, Chu Chen didn't want to get involved in such trouble. Even if he went to help the old lady's family, he would make corresponding preparations. Otherwise, doing good things would cause trouble. That would be really disgusting.  .  "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. It's important to appreciate the treasure." After saying that, Mr. Ou took out a magnifying glass and carefully appreciated the calligraphy work in front of him with Lao Liu and other seniors.  With just one look, half an hour had passed. Mr. Liu put down the magnifying glass in his hand. Although his body felt a little tired, his face was full of excitement.  "Thin but not withered, flashy but not charming; hard but graceful, bright but bright; sharp but strong, free and unrestrained but full of charm; straight but rounded, simple but rich. Good! What a good word!  I didn't expect that I could appreciate such excellent works in my lifetime" After a while, the seniors put down their tools one after another, and Mr. Ou also raised his head. His mood  He was also very excited, and even seemed to have tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay! I didn't expect that Xue Ji actually had a work handed down from generation to generation, and it is this masterpiece. Being able to appreciate this work, I will have no regrets in this life!"    Everyone nodded in agreement, and then Mr. Liu pointed at Chu Chen and said with a smile: "You kid, if you have such a treasure, why don't you let me appreciate it in advance?" Chu Chen looked innocent and said:  "This is none of my business. Senior brother must display this work on the opening day of the museum." Yu Renpeng laughed and said, "This is also to increase the popularity of the museum!" Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Yes.  Isn¡¯t Chuan Guo Jade Seal not famous enough?¡± Yu Renpeng shook his head: ¡°Master, this is different. Apart from its meaning, Chuan Guo Jade Seal is just a piece of jade in the final analysis, but calligraphy works are different.  Well, good works require spirit and spirit. At least for me, it¡¯s just that if you read too much of Chuan Guo Jade Seal, but good calligraphy works can never be tired of, and you can learn from them. Compared with Chuan Guo Jade Seal,  That's a lot. " "Okay, that's good!" Mr. Ou clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Old Liu, you just want to have fun alone. I don't agree to this. Don't say I don't agree.  Go ask Lao Zhang and the others and see how many of them will agree." "Yes. Lao Liu, you can't do such a thing that makes people angry!"  Lele. Of course, such a treasure must be shared by everyone" For a while, other seniors all agreed.  Mr. Liu defended himself: "Aren't I doing this to verify its authenticity?" Mr. Ou said with a look of disbelief: "Come on, if you want to authenticate it, you can do it here, and there are modern ones here in Xiao Chu.  Laboratory, your family has such conditions? Anyway, I think you just want to take it back because you don¡¯t have good intentions. Xiao Chu, you must not help others!¡± After hearing this, Mr. Liu said with a bit of laughter: ¡°Yes.  Yes. I won¡¯t take it back to the head office. It makes me look like a sinner for all eternity.¡± Mr. Ou chuckled and said, ¡°You can correct your mistakes. You are still a good comrade!¡± Mr. Liu scolded with a smile.  You old man, believe it or not, I asked my apprentice to put the things away and not show them to you!" "Don't, don't, don't, don't think I'm wrong" After joking, Mr. Ou remembered something: "That's right.  , Xiao Chu. Don¡¯t you have another one? " "Wait a minute, what did you say? The one from King Chu?" "Isn't it two thousand?  The piano that was made many years ago can still be passed down to this day?¡± ¡°Could it be an imitation?¡± The eyes of the uninformed seniors widened.  It seems incredible, and it¡¯s no wonder if you haven¡¯t seen it with your own eyes.  Such news is indeed hard to believe.  Mr. Ou said with a smile: "There is a saying that hearing is deceiving and seeing is believing. Whether it is true or not, you will know when you see it. But before that, we have to ask our Director Chu first, then  Where is Zhang Guqin now?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Of course you have to taste good things slowly, and you can't take them out all at once today." Everyone understood Chu Chen's words. Having the Imperial Jade Seal is already a sensation.  , In addition, although the Liangqin is more eye-catching, things are rare and expensive. Taking out the treasures one after another may make people feel numb, and the effect may not be good.  "Director Chu, can you let us appreciate it first?" An old senior asked impatiently.  Chu Chen said apologetically: "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. In fact, the Zhang Qin is still being repaired. If you want to see it, you have to wait for a while." After hearing this, Mr. Ou felt a little strange and asked  : "Xiao Chu, Lao Fei has been repairing this piano for a long time, why hasn't it been repaired yet?" Chu Chen said helplessly: "The main reason is that the material of the strings cannot bring out the sound quality characteristics of the guqin." "Ah.  ?¡± In fact, Fei Lao has put a lot of effort into the strings of the Liangqin. At first, he used out-of-print strings that he had collected for many years, but found that they were not up to par. Later, he tried a variety of materials until  A few days ago, he and several experts just trial-produced a kind of string. The result was okay, but overall, the sound quality was not satisfactory to them.  Chu Chen said: "Now they are improving the strings. It is not clear when the improvements will be completed." Hearing that this was the case, everyone felt very sorry. Mr. Ou said regretfully: "This matter  We can't help you, so we can only wait patiently." "Old District, maybe you can help." "If I can help you, just ask."  Chu Chen said with a smile: "I don't know, have you ever heard of Luanjiao?" "Luanjiao? That kind of Luanjiao also called Xuxianjiao?" Luanjiao is found in Han Dongfang Shuo's "Ten Continents in the Sea" and Jin Dynasty.  Volume 3 of Zhang Hua's "Natural History".  It is a kind of glue made from phoenix mouth and unicorn horn in myths and legends. It is also known as Xuxian glue, Jixian glue and Lianjin mud.  This glue can reconnect the broken strings of bows and crossbows or piano strings, and even the broken gold of swords and swords can be reconnected. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Where the glue is connected, even if a strong man pulls hard, all other places will be broken, and the place where the glue is continued will not be broken, but other parts will be broken.  There is a poem in "Reading Han Du's Collection" written by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty: "Who can get the marrow of the phoenix in the sky? No one can untie the string glue." Hearing that it was something from myths and legends, Mr. Ou looked a little dumbfounded, and everyone else looked at each other.  They all said that they had never heard of this kind of glue, and they basically believed that this kind of glue definitely did not exist.  Chu Chen said: "The main reason is that Mr. Fei has collected several strings of very outstanding quality, and everyone agreed that these strings should be able to meet the requirements for repairing the beam-winding qin, but unfortunately, these strings  The strings are broken. "It doesn't matter if they are broken, you can study their materials," said Mr. Ou.  Chu Chen said: "We have already researched it, but the main materials can no longer be found, so in addition to finding substitute materials, the most perfect way is to use Luan glue to connect them." Mr. Ou laughed and said  : "You are in a hurry and seek medical treatment. Even if you know the formula of Luanjiao now, how can you prepare it without phoenix mouth and unicorn horns?" Chu Chen said: "There are definitely no such creatures as phoenix and unicorn in reality, but the ancients sometimes said  It's quite an exaggeration. The phoenix and the unicorn may be ordinary animals, or these two creatures may have existed, but they are not as exaggerated as the ancients said, and they are already extinct." Mr. Ou shook his head: "Even if the facts are indeed like what you said.  But let alone seeing this kind of glue, we haven¡¯t even heard of it, so where can we find it?¡± Chu Chen chuckled: ¡°That¡¯s why I have to ask the seniors.¡± The seniors all shook their heads.  , one of them said: "The most we can do is inquire for you, but to be honest, it's really slim." Chu Chen quickly expressed his thanks: "It's okay, it's okay, this has already helped me a lot" (  To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
