Chapter 1481
Chen Wenzhe looked at the stele, and at a glance, it was very simple, not to mention the handwriting.

If it is not very good, it is impossible to come here, and it is impossible to be caught by Chen Wenzhe.

Even if it is a fake imitation, basic technology is still required.

Chen Wenzhe knew best that all the steles produced in some counterfeit workshops were chiseled out to be simple and old.

The fonts are even more vividly carved, such as now: the beautiful body has a leisurely physique, and the natural mood is graceful, respectful to connect, obedient to take advantage of relatives, full of beauty...

The reason why "Dong Meiren's Epitaph" is famous is not only the good font, but also the very gorgeous sentences.

The translated translation is also very exciting.

This is a translation: Dong Mei has an elegant and graceful physique, a gentle and beautiful nature, is very respectful to her elders, very gentle to her relatives, and very talented in her conversation and composition.

Like the beautiful jade on the steps, orchids and fragrant grass in the garden, come to the palace (enter the palace) in the Lu Palace, and go out of the palace to serve in the Liangtai, her ring echoes in the fragrant forest, and her clothes are in the spring Dazzling.

When she plays the game of throwing pots, she is as ingenious as flying cranes;
When playing chess, he can be as clever as possible.

Her beautiful face can overwhelm a country and a city, and her charming smile is worth a thousand gold.

Her beautiful makeup is like a lotus flower on a pond, and when she looks in the mirror, it looks like the moon hanging on the window (both refer to her beautiful face and moon appearance).

When she looks back, her expression is very beautiful, her skirt exudes a fragrance like a fine wind, and when she walks, her hair seems to be blown over flowers, or like snow drifting gently (using the allusion in "Luo Shen Fu").

What does "Dong Meiren Epitaph" express?It is the "Splendor and Fairy" in regular script, beautiful for thousands of years!
Who doesn't like such a beauty?Unfortunately, he died at the age of 19.

Therefore, it will be engraved with a monument!
This made this tombstone and made the inscription of "Dong Meiren's Epitaph" in the Sui Dynasty a famous epitaph.

It is well known that the original stele has been destroyed, but in some years, someone re-dug a piece.

This is to make people miss it, because you said that the epitaph was destroyed, is it really destroyed?
If my piece is real, isn't it posted?This is what Chen Wenzhe thinks now.

Of course, Li Tianqiang must also have this idea, otherwise, why would anyone buy such a tombstone that everyone knows is damaged?
Let alone Li Tianqiang, he must have paid a high price to buy this stele.

Even if they knew that there was a 90.00% chance that this stele was fake, someone would still offer a high price!
This is the antique business, everyone thinks that they may miss something, and they are the lucky ones, and Chen Wenzhe is no exception.

The Tao is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. I know that there are many collectors who have this idea, and those counterfeiters come in batches, and there is an endless stream!
Of course, engraving a stele is not easy, and not everyone can do it.

Even if it is imitation, you must imitate something like it!

We must know that in the past dynasties, it is everyone who can engrave steles and turn them around.

It's like an epitaph, but not everyone can write it.

If you want to imitate ancient epitaphs, you must learn some calligraphy masters' works.

It is even more difficult to imitate "Dong Meiren's Epitaph", because it can be called the first in Sui Zhi's lower case.

Calligraphy of the Sui Dynasty inherited the calligraphy style of the Northern Wei Dynasty and opened up the new style of the Tang Dynasty. It is the Jinliang between the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty.

"Beauty Dong's Epitaph" just reflects this point. It is a top-grade masterpiece among the epitaphs of the Sui Dynasty.

Its calligraphy layout is flat and comfortable, neat and meticulous.

Judging from the appearance of the font, the regular script is pure and the official meaning is completely removed, which is very different from the Jin people's lower script and the epitaph of the Northern Dynasty.

But you can see part of the outer square and inner circle, and the gorgeous and firm brushwork, which gives people a clear and refreshing feeling, and the ancient meaning is not exhausted.

Luo Zhenyu of the Qing Dynasty spoke highly of it: "The regular script was a great preparation in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In modern times, it has been handed down from the Sui Dynasty to "Dong Meiren", "Wei's Girl" and "Zhang Guinan".

Zhao Wanli also commented on his calligraphy: "The handwriting is steady and beautiful, and it is the same as the two comrades of "Gongyuan" and "Jishi" as the leader of Suizhi in Guanzhong."

Some famous calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty, such as Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, etc., mostly adopted the style of epitaphs of the Sui Dynasty.

Since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it has been favored by the majority of calligraphy lovers, and it is regarded as one of the models for learning regular script calligraphy.

After the transformation of the Han Dynasty from the official script, the regular script has undergone more than two hundred years of evolution in the Six Dynasties, and it has gradually matured in the Sui Dynasty.

Although Guozuo of the Sui Dynasty was short, it was an important period in the history of calligraphy.

It can be said that this is a gradual process of melting the north and the south in one furnace and opening the Tang Dynasty book.

There are not many Sui steles and epitaphs handed down from generation to generation. The famous ones are "Longzang Temple Stele", "Caozhi Temple Stele", "Qifa Temple Stele" and "Meng Xianda Stele".

There are also "Jiusu Xiaoci's Epitaph", "Zhang Guinan's Epitaph", "Yang Ju's Epitaph", "Li Ze's Epitaph", "Gongren Yuanshi's Epitaph" and so on.

Among them, the most famous is "Dong Meiren's Epitaph", the real book of "Dong Meiren's Epitaph", with 21 lines and 23 characters in each line.

Dong Meiren was the maid of Shu King Yang Xiu, the fourth son of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. Unfortunately, she died of illness at the age of 19.

In order to commemorate her, Yang Xiu, king of Shu, wrote his own inscription and buried it in the suburbs of Chang'an.

It was 17, the [-]th year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

This epitaph, like other epitaphs, does not leave the names of the writers and engravers.

However, if you look closely at this epitaph, the brushwork is refined to delicate, the stippling is fresh and straight, and the font is slightly flat, which still maintains the stable and dignified characteristics of the Six Dynasties epitaph.

However, its body structure is very well-proportioned and harmonious, and its regular script has become more perfect.

What's even more commendable is that, in his upright and dignified body posture, the slightly miscellaneous and dangerous posture appears flat and unstern, which is very intriguing.

Although this blog is mainly based on square brushwork, its corners and corners are not exposed, giving people a sense of warmth.

If beginners take the Tang stele as the basis and seek changes from the northern stele, then this aspiration is somewhere in between, and can be used as a transitional work from Tang to Wei.

It can be said that the calligraphy font on this epitaph is the peak since the Han Dynasty.

And Chen Wenzhe can even see some shadows of calligraphy in the Han and Tang Dynasties from this tombstone.

It's just that it is Sui Wen, not Chinese, nor Tang Wen. At most, it has some inheritance from Han and Tang Dynasties.

Here I have to mention a master of calligraphy in the Han Dynasty, that is, Zhong Yao.

Since the calligraphy of the Sui Dynasty is an important period of inheriting the past and the future, who did he inherit?It must be Han and Tang.

Let’s not talk about the Tang Dynasty, just talk about the Three Kingdoms period, and Zhong Yao was a famous calligrapher during the Three Kingdoms period.

He is known as "the originator of regular script", and his lower script can be regarded as a model for all generations.

This piece is quilt, since it is known as the first in lower script, it is natural that this "origin of regular script" cannot be avoided.

Therefore, many stele engraving masters would have to practice Zhongyou for many years if they wanted to imitate ancient stele inscriptions.

In this process, if you don't like calligraphy and his fonts, how can you continue to learn?
And this is just the threshold, because how could the one who engraved the stele only know Zhong Yao?
