The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 147
Nanshan cut bamboo to make it into 秱篥, and this music originally came from Kucha.

It is circulated that the tunes of the Han Dynasty turned strange, and the Hu people of Liangzhou played it for me.

Those who heard it from neighbors sighed a lot, and those from afar were weeping when they were homesick.

——Excerpt from "Listening to An Wanshan's Song of the Pied Flute" by Li Qi (Tang Dynasty)
……

When Master Pei and Bai Fu arrived at the study, the butler had already spread Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Sunshine Poster" on the table.People are watching and appreciating. "Quick Snow and Sunny Tie" is considered to be another masterpiece of running script by Wang Xizhi next to "Lanting Preface", and is known as "the number one Dharma book in the world".Seeing the authentic work at this time, everyone held their breath and focused on appreciating it.

Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Sunshine Post" is smooth in writing, beautiful and thick, and everyone is amazed after reading it.The Lonely Master said: "This post is peaceful and serene, elegant and refined, without the air of fireworks in the world, it really has its realm." Master Changsun also praised: "This post is round and powerful, quite ancient. The mood is leisurely and relaxed. Yu, interesting and unique, lofty artistic conception, unfathomable." Only Zhang Yun, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, was silent after reading it.

King Qing Li Cong said with a smile: "Master Zhang, everyone has expressed their opinions, but you are the only one who doesn't speak. I don't know if you have any good opinions?"

Zhang Yun, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, smiled and said nothing.

King Qing Li Cong said angrily, "My lord, keep silent. Could it be that you think my handwriting is a fake?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had to express his opinion.He said: "Judging from You Jun's handwriting, it should not be a forgery. But I also saw this "Quick Snow and Sunny Post" in the home of Chu Suiliang's descendants. The origin of "Xueshiqingtie" is clear, it was given to Lord Wei Zheng by Emperor Taizong, who in turn gave it to Chu Suiliang."

After Zhang Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, finished speaking, King Qing Li Cong was a little embarrassed.If the calligraphy posters of Suiliang's descendants are authentic, then the one I have in my possession must be false.

Qing Wang Li Cong's expression darkened, he picked up the copybook and was about to tear it up.Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly dissuaded him: "Your Highness, no!"

Lord Pei rolled his eyes, pushed Bai Fu in front of the crowd, and said with a smile: "We are all hermits, our eyesight has hardened. Why don't you let the young people discern. Bai Shaoxia is in the forest of steles every day, maybe he can see some clues! "

Everyone looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and agreed.

Bai Fu couldn't evade it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the copybook.Putting on silk gloves, Bai Fu looked at it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he had a bottom line in his mind.From the three aspects of stippling, structure, and composition.

Bai Fudao: "The stippling of this post is full of emotion, and the hook and pick are not sharp. The brush is particularly round, the brush is moist and the edge is hidden, the starting and closing of the brush are neat and stable, the bone strength is hidden, and it is hidden. To ensure the whole post is elegant and lofty, Mellow and bright.

From the point of view of the structure, the font of this post is mainly square, flat and even, with a regular script and a changeable rhythm.This post starts with running cursive and ends with running regular script. The shape and posture are beautiful and rich in layers.

"Xi Zhi Dun Shou" is both cursive and cursive, intermittent and continuous, and the brushwork is smooth and coherent. "It's sunny when the snow is fast", each character is independent, the pen is round and smooth, wandering between regular scripts, changing without stagnation, and the pen's sharpness penetrates the back of the paper. The left and right radicals of the word "kuai" echo each other. "夬" shrugged his right shoulder slightly, and paused at the end of the stroke to adjust the tilted posture. The upper part of the character "Snow" leans to the left, and when the stroke is drawn, the stroke moves downward to the right, taking advantage of the trend and balancing the center of gravity of the whole character.

In terms of composition, the first line "Xing Qi" is consistent, the angles of inclination of the horizontal strokes are roughly the same, and the centers of gravity are all on the same midline.The second line begins to change, the spacing is sparse, the center of gravity is scattered, the word "Guowei" is written together, and the spacing between the rest of the characters is sparse.The third line is natural, with rich layers.Shanyin Zhanghou "The four characters are complete and full of energy."

……

Bai Fu finally came to the conclusion that this post was Wang Xizhi's authentic work.Bai Fu's words are eloquent, well-founded, and the clues are clear.Everyone could not stop admiring and agreeing.King Qing Li Cong was even more overjoyed.

Zhang Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said with a smile: "What Bai Shaoxia said is very true, and I agree with it from the bottom of my heart. I believe that this post was written by Wang Xizhi. But I still have doubts. If this post is authentic, then the ones hidden in the family of Chu Suiliang's descendants are fake. Is it? Could it be that it was dropped?"

Bai Fu bowed his hands to Zhang Yun and said, "My lord, please have a look." After finishing speaking, he lifted up the signature and let the light shine through it.Then tilt the signature slightly to expose the mounting seam.

Bai Fudao: ""Quick Snow and Sunny Tie" is about a greeting letter written by General You to his friend "Shanyin Zhanghou" when the snow is heavy and the first clear. Therefore, the paper is different from traditional rice paper. It is the lost Kong Dan Qingtan rice paper, It's called '"Cicada Feather Paper".This paper is washed with clear springs in the cliffs and deep mountains, and is naturally bleached by the sun and night dew. It is made through more than 140 fine craftsmanship.

Shengxuan's temperament is out of control, difficult to control, but also the most changeable.In the battle between calligraphers and paper, the ink rhyme spreads, the water moves away and the ink stays, agile and elegant, showing individuality.Shuxuan's temperament is stable, gentle and well-behaved, which makes the author handy.

The disposition and mystery of "Cicada Feather Paper" are hidden between the ripeness and immaturity of ink staining on the paper. 'Cicada Feather Paper' has tortoise pattern, thick and thin Xuanxuan, with three layers of organdy. 'Light like a cicada's feathers, white like snow, trembling like fine silk without hearing a sound'.

The general on the right draws his brush into his mind, sending his breath out of his dantian, aiming at the Dao heart, penetrating through the back of the paper, and three layers of organdy gauze.

Skilled craftsmen of later generations, in order to seek huge profits, should use exquisite craftsmanship to gently uncover the three layers of organdy and mount them separately.If my guess is correct, there should be a framed "Quick Snow and Sunshine Post" in this world. ",

As soon as Bai Fu's words came out, the whole room was shocked and discussed.

Master Changsun pondered, "Young Master Bai's words were unimaginable at first, but it makes sense after thinking about it later. This post has a very high light transmittance, and it is indeed different from Wang Yishao's other posts."

At this moment, the old lord Dugu leaned on the dragon head crutches, laughed loudly, and said: "The mystery is finally revealed!" Everyone was puzzled and looked at the old lord Dugu.

The old man Dugu said: "There is also a copy of "Quick Snow and Sunny Post" in the old man's family. It was given to the family by Queen Dugu Jialuo during the Sui Dynasty Emperor Wendi. "After I gave it to Lord Wei Zheng, my Dugu family never dared to post this to others. Today, Fu'er made some arguments and finally solved this century-old mystery. Fortunately, the past leaders of my lonely family did not destroy this post, otherwise it would be It has let down Queen Dugu's hard work, and even ruined Master Yi Shao's hard work."

After hearing this, everyone sighed and was filled with emotion.

The Dugu old lord recruited Bai Fu to his side, and said lovingly, "Fu'er, you have helped my Dugu family achieve a century-old wish. I want to thank you on behalf of the family. Tell grandpa, what gift do you want? Hehe"

Bai Fu smiled and said: "Thank you, great grandfather, Fu'er also made a mistake, so I really dare not accept the reward."

Dugu old boss smiled and said: "This is not possible, how about this, let grandpa think about it first, the gift that grandpa gave you is guaranteed to satisfy you!"

Seeing this, Li Cong, King Qing, laughed and said, "Old Lord Dugu has given you gifts, and this king can't be left behind. It is said that Shaoxia Bai is very skilled in martial arts, and this king also loves to collect weapons. Let the young hero go into the warehouse and pick out the ones that are handy." Weapon."

Bai Fu couldn't refuse, he could only accept it.

After appreciating the treasure, everyone is happy.Return to the banquet hall, enjoy singing and dancing, and have a good time with wine.After the banquet, Bai Fu became the focus, and everyone came to toast.Bai Huibei was young, and he neither dared to politely refuse, nor dared to use his internal strength to force the wine out on the spot.Just like that, drink it cup by cup, even though you have profound internal energy, you will be flushed and your eyes will be blurred.
