My system is not decent

Chapter 1505 From the hands of a master
These six-horse relief stone carvings have been well preserved for more than a thousand years. Later, the country was weak and the family was poor, so it was coveted by others.

The stone carvings of the Six Horses of Zhaoling Mausoleum were originally arranged symmetrically in the east and west corridors of the Xuanwu Gate at the northernmost end of the cemetery.

The overall shape is stepped, rising gradually from north to south, and the horses' heads are altars facing south.

Later, it was stolen, and two paintings were sold abroad, and are now in the Ugly Country Museum.

The other four are hidden in the Forest of Steles in Chang'an, but unfortunately they have been broken into pieces.

Therefore, the six antique works in front of me, even if they are fake, are of high value.

After all, it is very rare to be able to imitate the charm of the Six Horses of Zhaoling Mausoleum.

Coupled with the above fonts and antique methods, these six pictures of horses are even more rare.

"The technology is really good, this should be the ancient imitation method of the Song Dynasty!"

Taking a closer look, Chen Wenzhe found that the "Six Horses of Zhaoling" can be said to be perfect everywhere.

The fine stones they choose are basically the same size outside the six stones. Each stone carving is about 2 meters wide, 1.7 meters high and 0.4 meters thick.

This original version is very suitable, and around each stone, a raised stone frame is reserved first.

Within this frame, six horses with different postures and expressions are all taken in profile.

These horses are in the form of high-relief sculptures with a depth of 15 centimeters carved in stone, three of which are in the shape of standing upright and three of which are in the shape of galloping.

It is said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the calligrapher Ouyang Xun to write the names of each war horse and imperial eulogy on paper, and asked craftsmen to engrave them on stone carvings.

Although there is a one-foot-square chiseled place on each stone carving, the handwriting has been severely weathered.

Well, the real product looks like this, and this imitation product is really good.

However, because of the records, it can only be imitated now.

Otherwise, the handwriting on the original product will disappear, so how can I imitate it?It can only be fabricated!
Chen Wenzhe knew that on the relief of the six horses in Zhaoling Mausoleum was Li Shimin's personal praise for the six horses.

Teller Piao: The policy should be vacated, and the voice should be half-han; the natural danger destroys the enemy, and takes advantage of the danger to help the difficult.

Qing Zou: The ashigaru movie, the genius of the gods, the plan is to practice, and I will be in uniform.

Shifachi: The gorge is not still, the ax and the ax are showing power, the Zhuhan is galloping, and the green jingle is returning triumphantly.

Salu Zi: Ziyan leaps forward, bone-thumping horse, arrogant Sanchuan, majestic eight formations.

Fist hair 騧: Yue Jing presses the bridle, Tian Si runs rampant.The solitary vector carries the stern, and the atmosphere is clarified.

White-hoofed crow: Relying on the sky and long sword, chasing the wind and gallant feet; towering the bridle to level the Long, returning to the saddle to settle Shu.

Among the six horses, "Telepiu" is arranged in order. It was originally the first horse in the east, and it was ridden by Li Shimin when he pacified Song Jingang.

It is said that the horse's coat is yellow with white, and the corners of the mouth are slightly black.

In the relief, Teller Piao lifts his left legs up, his right legs touch the ground, and takes a step on the opposite side with one leg rising and falling at the same time.

This is a ceremonial gait that can only be achieved after rigorous training, and this horse can be described as well-trained.

Qing Zou is the second horse in the east, and it was Li Shimin's mount when he fought against Hulao Pass in Yangluo.

In the stone carvings, the green horse is in the shape of galloping. On the carving, the green horse's mane and tail are flying, and the four hooves form a line. The horse has been hit by five arrows, all of which were shot head-on during the charge.

But most of the shots are shot at the back of the horse, which shows how fast the horse is galloping.

Shifachi is the third steed in the east, and it is also the horse Li Shimin rode when he fought against Hulao Pass.

On the relief, Shivachi's posture is similar to that of Qing Zou, and he was also hit by five arrows.

Sa Luzi was originally the first horse in the west, and it was also a war horse ridden by Li Shimin in the Battle of Hulaoguan.

The horse was named "Salu Purple" because of its purple coat.

This relief shows a warrior pulling out the arrow for the horse that was shot in the chest.

The person who is leading the horse and picking the arrows is Qiu Xinggong.

Qiu Xinggong has tendrils and looks handsome and mighty. He is wearing a war robe, a pocket guard on his head, a knife and a quiver on his waist.

He made a posture of bowing his head to draw arrows for the horse, which reproduced the scene at that time.

This carved treasure is now in the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania.

Fist Mao is the second horse in the west, a yellow horse with black mouth and swirling hair.

It hit 6 arrows in the front and 3 arrows in the back, which was used by Li Shimin when he pacified Liu Heita.

On the stone inscription, there are nine arrows in the body of the fist hair, which shows the fierceness of this battle.

This carved treasure is now also stored in the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania.

After that is the white-hoofed crow, which is the third horse in the west.

The horse's fur is black all over, and its hooves are all white.

The stone-carved "White-hoofed Crow" has strong muscles and bones, with its head raised and glaring, its hooves soaring into the air, its mane facing the wind, and it is in the shape of a galloping speed.

Fortunately, out of the six stone carvings, only two were stolen, and the others remained in the country.

Otherwise, we can only go to Ugly Country to see such a good thing.

It's a pity that there are still two pieces hidden in the ugly country.

It was 1914, and the Frenchman Golanz stripped the "Salu Purple" and "Fist Hair" to prepare for smuggling.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered and stopped by local farmers.

However, this "two horses" fell into the hands of local warlords.

Later, it was shipped to Peiping, where it was stolen and sold abroad by Lu Qinzhai, a domestic antique dealer at that time, for $12.5.

These two pieces were sold and are now in the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

In 1918, Bi Shibo, an ugly Chinese, planned to steal the other four steed stone carvings.

Before transporting, he ordered the four stone horses to be broken into several pieces.

However, it was discovered and intercepted by local people in Xishan during the transportation, and then transported to Xishan Library for preservation.

In 1953, when the Xishan Provincial Museum (now the Chang'an Forest of Steles Museum) was established, it received these four stone carvings, and later put them together and restored them.

In April 1961, Xie Dade, a stone carving craftsman, reproduced "Sa Lu Zi" and "Fist Hair" based on photos and rubbings.

Together with the existing four steeds, they are now displayed in the "Chang'an Stone Carving Art Room" of the Forest of Steles Museum.

Chen Wenzhe could tell that the six stone sculptures in front of him must have been made by the master.

Because no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was no worse than the two imitations currently displayed in the Chang'an Forest of Steles.

I just don't know which master in China this is from.

There are not many masters like this, even in China.

Of course, there is definitely more than one domestic master with this kind of stone carving technology.

For example, in 2010, our domestic experts were invited to Ugly Country to participate in the restoration of "Fist Hair" and "Sa Lu Zi".

In the end, it can meet the basic requirements for a global tour.

This kind of technology cannot be said that foreign stone carving masters cannot do it.

However, they cannot understand Chinese culture, Chinese stone carvings, or paintings.

This is a cultural difference, so naturally it is impossible to restore the charm of Chinese stone carvings.

In terms of image creation, the six-horse relief sculpture uses realistic techniques to objectively describe the objects, and its strictness is quite astonishing.

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to imitate it well, so Chen Wenzhe was even more surprised.

As long as you know the six steeds of Zhaoling, you will naturally know their historical status, and naturally know their artistic value, or artistic achievement.
