Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 255 Arcana
"So you think it's an imitation?" Uncle Sibiao laughed, "It's like Zhang Daqian's imitation of Dong Yuan's "Evening View of the River Embankment". However, many people commented that the artistic achievements of the latter have even surpassed the former.”

"So powerful?" Zhou Zhi was taken aback.

"So if this is an imitation, the calligraphy is so exquisite, the knife technique is so ancient, and the printing material is so advanced." Uncle Sibiao said, "Then I can only say..."

"How to say?"

"This is Huang Tingjian imitating himself."

"Ah?" Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded: "You mean... this calligraphy is the authentic work of Huang Luzhi?"

"It's not calligraphy." Uncle Si Biao shook his head: "This is all Huang Tingjian's stuff."

"Huanghuanghuang..." Zhou Zhi was already stuttering in fright: "In the Song Dynasty...were there any people who played with Tianhuang?"

"Yes, there are two seals signed by Zhang Tongzhi, which belong to Tian Huang, something from the Southern Song Dynasty."

"But Huang Tingjian is from the Northern Song Dynasty..."

"The Southern Song Dynasty was only a few decades later than Huang Tingjian's Northern Song Dynasty." Uncle Sibiao said, "And the evidence on this seal is far more than impeccable calligraphy."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Look here, the seal as a whole is in the shape of a weight. Before the Qin Dynasty, it was called..."

"Quan." Zhou Zhi excused: "The word balance is the original meaning of the word."

"My kid's knowledge has improved, and I can understand by analogy." Uncle Si Biao laughed and said, "Shuowen Jiezi has not been read in standard sentences, which set is it?"

"It's the fifth set. Uncle Fourth Cousin, don't talk about it, tell me what evidence you have."

"What do you know about Huang Tingjian's name?"

"Huang Tingjian, Huang Luzhi, Huang Shangu, and Fu Weng are the highest achievers of Jixian school management, national history compilation, and posthumous title Wenjie, so they are often called Huang Taishi and Huang Wenjie in the notes... Ah, and he was born in Jiujiang. Hongzhou, so he is also called Mr. Yuzhang."

"Any more?"

"Uh... more?"

"There are many more, but what is related to this seal is the style of this right and the carved rope pattern on the top."

"That's the weight with the string, isn't it?"

"Yes, Huang Tingjian's childhood name is 'Shengquan'." The fourth aunt laughed.

Zhou Zhi thought that being able to name Huang Tingjian's seven titles in one breath was enough, but now he had to shake his head: "I'm still not very knowledgeable."

"Also here, the word Qian'an doesn't mean what you said."

"Also ask my aunt to advise."

"When Huang Tingjian was in charge of editing the "Records of Shenzong", he once recorded the words of "ruling the river with iron dragon claws, it is the same as children's play". After the new party came back to power, it attacked him. Huang Tingjian replied: "Tingjian was doing Officer, I witnessed it with my own eyes. At that time, it was indeed a joke.' He answered truthfully when asked, without any scruples, and everyone who heard him praised him for his courage."

"This is indeed a bit ridiculous." Zhou Zhi said: "Someone suggested to Wang Anshi back then, saying that as long as the water in the Liangshan Park was drained, he could get [-] miles of fertile land. How to arrange it?" Liu Teng, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, replied, "It's just another eight hundred miles of water park next to it." An Shi stopped laughing."

"Hahaha..." Uncle Si Biao laughed and said, "Therefore, arts and sciences cannot be separated. The function of dredging the river is to stir up the sediment at the bottom of the river with a plow, and let them be washed downstream..."

"Then accumulate in the downstream." Zhou Zhi said angrily: "The result is that the more dredged the upstream, the more blocked the downstream will be accumulated and blocked. Fighting for reasons turned into opposition for the sake of opposition."

The fourth aunt smiled and said: "In short, Huang Tingjian was relegated to Fuzhou Biejia and resettled in Qianzhou because of the 'Iron Dragon Claw Case'. Since then, he has had Fu Weng, Fu Po, Mowei Old Man, and Qian'an Jushi Four titles."

"I remember that there is a record in the Song people's notes: Tanxiu came to the sea to see Dongpo, and came out of Qian'an layman to write a cursive axis. He asked how this book was? Law. 'I am also in Qian'an. In the future, Qian'an will be laughing at Xuanqu'."

"So... that's the meaning of the word Qian'an printed on it?"

"Yes, the people who attacked him later thought that he went to a good place and accused him of breaking the law. Later, they moved to Rongzhou to avoid being suspected by relatives."

"Qianzhou is now Pengshui County under Yuzhou, and Rongzhou is Yizhou City, where Wuliangye is produced. Huang Tingjian wants to go from Qianzhou to Rongzhou, and we must pass through Jiachuan!"

"Also." Uncle Si Biao flipped over the seal: "This sentence in the seal is more intimate with morality."

By now Zhou Zhi already knew how wrong he was: "This sentence is definitely not about brother Pao's loyalty."

Uncle Si Biao laughed and said, "This is an excerpt from a poem written by Su Song, "Two Elegy Remarks of Su Ming Yun Zongzhang"."

"Trying about the Pingling family, there are people from my clan.

The origin and flow know where one is from, and the morality and justice are closer.

It's a pity that I was a high-ranking person, and I was full of tears.

I also know Yu Qingyuan, the second son is devoted to economics. "

"I see. This is Su Song's elegy in honor of Su Xun. Su Song and Su Xun belong to the same clan, and both are descendants of Su Weiwei, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty."

"Eh?" Fourth Cousin was rather strange: "You know all this?"

Zhou Zhi thought that as long as it was related to the Su family, I knew pretty well. After all, the novel I wrote had a lot to do with the Su family.

But Huang Tingjian belonged to the outer circle of the Su family after all, so Zhou Zhi could only remember seven of his names and famous events.

"I know a little bit." Uncle Si Biao asked now, and Zhou Zhi replied, "Su Song is also a famous naturalist and scientist. Not to mention Huang Tingjian, he is the most famous one among the four scholars of Sumen."

"However, is it okay to use a mourning poem as the inscription?" Zhou Zhi raised a new question.

"It depends on his situation at that time." Uncle Si Biao said: "When Huang Tingjian was demoted, his eldest brother Huang Dalin traveled thousands of miles to send him to Qianzhou. Huang Tingjian wrote the famous farewell poem "He Da Yuanming Qiannan Farewell."

"The next year, Huang Shuda led his whole family and his sister-in-law, that is, Huang Tingjian's wife Shi Shi, and his nephew Huang Pingxiang's relatives. Ci "Yi Jinmen Showing Brothers of Fate". The brotherhood is deep, and the righteousness will last forever."

"It's as if Su Shi and Su Zhe are brothers in love." Zhou Zhi understood: "Knowing the source and flow, the moral and righteousness are closer."

""Yi Jinmen · Telling the Brother of Mingming" is written like this:

Mountains and rivers, travel to the end of Wu head and Chu tail.Brothers live thousands of miles away, looking at each other like a dream.

You are like peaches and plums, and pine and osmanthus come into my thatched cottage.Don't be tired of the cold and tasteless, the rest of your life is over now. "

"Being philosophical about life and death, combined with your mood, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use these five characters in the printed text?"

"So..." Zhou Zhi was a little afraid to say that inference.

"So this is a cultural treasure, the Tianhuangshi seal of Huang Tingjian in the Northern Song Dynasty."
