My system is not decent

Chapter 1861 Chasing big seal script at the top, learning small seal script at the next level, everything is safe

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, these stone drums were transported back to Nanjing from Chongqing.

The transportation was full of dangers. The car carrying the stone drums experienced two rollover accidents, and the 10 stone drums almost suffered another disaster.

After the War of Liberation broke out, Chang Shenkai saw that the situation was over, and hurriedly prepared to retreat, transferring a large number of national treasures and cultural relics to Wanwan.

At this time, the Chencang stone drum, which had been returned to the Forbidden City for safekeeping, was hastily transported to the airport.

But when it was about to take off, the pilot reported that the plane was seriously overloaded and the flight safety could not be guaranteed.

After repeated discussions by the group, the 10 stone drums had to be kept and finally preserved.

Therefore, the ones that Chen Wenzhe saw were definitely not genuine, but even if they were imitations, they were definitely very precious because of the inscriptions on them.

There are ten stone drums in total, and the four-character poems are engraved in groups of ten in the scriptures. Many of the characters have been obliterated, and none of the characters in the ninth drum have survived.

Although the words on the 10 stone drums form their own chapters, they are related to a certain extent.

It is a long poem describing the hunting of the Qin noble class, and the lines of the two-faced stone drum ("Qianmian Drum" and "Che Gong Drum") are relatively complete.

The remaining stone drum inscriptions are not well preserved, and only a few words are left, but the general meaning can still be understood.

"Qian Mian Drum" describes the beautiful scenery of Qianhe.

The main meaning of the original text is: "Surrounded by graceful willows, the gurgling water of the Si River is clear and transparent. Catfish and carp are in groups in the water. The gentleman is fishing, and there are many small fish swimming slowly. The white fish are scrambling for food. Aquatic plants, yellow and white fish and fish, the shadows are clearly visible on the stones at the bottom of the river."

This is such a beautiful artistic conception, which makes people sigh and make people intoxicated.

"Chegong Drum" describes the scene of Duke Qin's hunting.

It is said that there are many cars and cars, the beauty of the horned bow and the scene of the followers shooting arrows and chasing the prey.

"Tian Che Drum": It describes the grand occasion of Qin Gong and his entourage going hunting in the original land.

"Luan Chariot Drum": It is recorded that Qin Gong passed through Guocheng on a hunting trip. Red bows and arrows were hung on the luan chariot, and people gathered to offer prey. At this time, the crowd was like a barrier and it was very lively.

"酃雨鼓": It describes the scene seen from a low place when Duke Qin and his followers crossed the Si River.

"Making the Original Drum": Describes the scene of repairing the original site on the mountain.

"Wu People's Drum": Records that the people of Yu rushed to offer sacrifices to Duke Qin.

"My Water Drum": Describes the beautiful rivers and mountains of Qin State with clear water and clean water.

"And Master the Drum": A poem describing the records of Duke Qin.

"Ma Jian Drum": Describes the scene of encounters when returning from hunting.

The reason why stone carvings are precious is that apart from the artistry, the most precious thing should be the stone carvings on them.

These stone drums are Yuandunzi one by one, and there is no art at all.

If there was still gold casting on it, at that time, each of the ten stone drums would be shining with gold, and it would still be very eye-catching to look at.

But now the gold on it has been stripped, and each one has been weathered, so naturally it has no artistic value.

Therefore, what is valuable is the engraving on it.

It is because of the characters on the stone drum that the value of the stone drum doubled, and it was greatly praised by the literati at that time.

In fact, after Qin Gong, these ten drums never appeared in the world again. Until the Tang Dynasty, when it appeared in front of everyone again, it amazed the world with its leisurely and simple posture.

There are seal characters on the stone drum, and there were people who were good at calligraphy and poetry in the Tang Dynasty. Under such historical conditions, some "big names" in the Tang Dynasty were also impressed by the artistic value of the stone drum. There are Ouyang Xiu, Chu Suiliang, Yu Shinan and so on.

Zhang Huaiguan's "Shu Duan" says: ""Stone Drum Wen" opens and closes the ancient prose, and its sharpness is smooth, but it is straight and fast, like an iron needle, but it is round and smooth."

Kang Youwei said in "Guang Yizhou Double Oars": "The "Stone Drum" is like gold and silver entrusted to the ground, and the moss and grass are not annoying, and the adjustment is unique."

Calligraphers at that time, such as Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Ouyang Xun, etc., all admired stone drums very much, and they copied and made rubbings in person.

Among the rare Motuo books handed down from generation to generation, there is a copy collected by Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty.

Many writers at that time, such as Du Fu, Su Shi, Han Yu, etc., wrote poems for Shigu.

"Zhang Sheng holds stone drum writings and persuades me to try making stone drum songs"——Han Yu's writings record the history before the unification of Qin Dynasty.

Shiguwen, also known as "Liejie" or "Yongyi Carved Stone", is the earliest surviving stone inscription in my country.

There is no specific date, but the "Song of the Stone Drum" written by Wei Yingwu and Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty are both considered to be stone carvings from the period of King Xuan of Zhou.

Although there are three doubts in the "Stone Drum Postscript" written by Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty, it is still believed to be written by Zhou Xuanwang Shi Shizhen.

Song Zheng Qiao's "Tongzhilue" believes that "Stone Drum" is a pre-Qin thing, written after King Huiwen and before Shihuang.

Recent works such as Luo Zhenyu's Textual Research on the Stone Drum and Ma Xulun's Records on the Stone Drum are both considered to be objects of Qin Wengong's time.

This is not much different from what Wei and Han said, only a difference of 17 years.

According to Master Guo's textual research, "Stone Drum" was written in the eighth year of Duke Xiang of Qin, closer to King Xuan.

The difference is due to the writing of Shi Zhen in the reign of King Xuan or the writing of Qin Chen.

In any case, the writing on the ten stone drums is very precious, and the writing is majestic and exquisite.

And looking at the ten stone drums in front of him, they can attract Chen Wenzhe's attention, naturally the handwriting on them must be good, otherwise why would he take a second look?
Looking carefully at these inscriptions, Chen Wenzhe still sighed a little, the engravings are really good!
What does Chen Cang Stone Drum look like?CCTV's "National Treasure" has shown its specific appearance before.

These ten drums have gone through the vicissitudes of time, and their appearance in front of the world is just like their appearance, simple and elegant.

Among them, the poems of the two stone drums "Qianmian Drum" and "Che Gong Drum" are relatively complete.

The rest of the stone drum texts are not well preserved, leaving only a few words.

It is true that his biography was written by Shi Zhen.

I saw that every character on it is magnificent, round and unrestrained, with a vigorous temperament, a combination of hardness and softness, ancient and simple, yet elegant.

All the characters are horizontal and vertical, rigorous and neat, making good use of the center, and the thickness of the strokes is basically the same.

Some structures are symmetrical and straight, while others are uneven and scattered, which are close to Xiaozhuan without the formality of Xiaozhuan.

In terms of composition and layout, although the characters are independent, but also noticed the relationship between up and down, left and right, and the strong pen force is extremely prominent in stone carvings. of.

Kang Youwei said that it is "like a piece of land entrusted with a gold tin, and a cloud of moss and grass. It doesn't bother me, and it has its own uniqueness."

Its style of writing is the characters in the transition period from large seal script to small seal script. If you study "Stone Drum Wen", you can catch up with the big seal script and learn the small seal script later, without losing anything.

Those who learn seal script in later generations all regard it as authentic, and they all practice it.

Yang Yisun, Wu Dacheng, Wu Changshuo, Wang Fuan, etc. all benefited from this.

Chen Wenzhe checked carefully and found that the imitation date of these stone drums should not exceed the Qing Dynasty, at most they should be made in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

However, there are many words on it, and the imitation is very vivid.

Also, these characters should be imitated from some rubbings handed down from ancient times, otherwise it would not be so complete.
