Play treasure master

Chapter 382
Old Huang obviously didn't know about this.

Yu Yao interjected, "I only know of this fraud, and I have never seen the real thing. However, apart from the oxidation of the ink color and the almost ancient meaning, I really can't find any other faults in this scripture."

Upon hearing this, Lao Huang said, "Tell me in detail!"

"When the officials of the Qing Dynasty escorted the remaining scriptures to Beijing after being looted by foreigners, when they arrived in Jinmen, a relative of the escorting official was an official in Jinmen. The two colluded and confiscated hundreds of scriptures at once. At the same time, there is also a batch of blank scripture scrolls, jute paper from the Tang Dynasty."

"At that time, the Qing Dynasty was about to end. When they reported it, they said that they had been robbed by robbers. Moreover, they used a method to truncate some scriptures, turning one volume into two volumes or even several volumes. It was like this when Dunhuang took it away. It was just kept secret."

"After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the person who hoarded the scriptures had no official job, and began to resell them on a large scale, and used his brains - because he still left a lot of blank Tang Dynasty scriptures, and he had the real ones in his hand. , so I imitated a batch of scriptures.”

Old Huang's eyes widened, "So that's how it is!"

"I heard that Japanese people bought a lot back then, and now in some Japanese museums, there are still high-quality imitations of scriptures from that year!" Yu Yao continued, "These high-quality imitations are extremely difficult to identify. The only thing is the ink color. problem, but the difference is subtle and I just don't feel right."

Lao Huang sighed, "I've done some research on calligraphy, and it's not easy to copy this font like this."

"This character is not copied directly. If it is copied directly, one by one, there will always be loopholes."

Lao Huang slapped his thigh, "That's right, it must be double hook ink!"

The so-called double hook ink filling is a method for the ancients to make copies and copybooks using transparent and impermeable oil paper as an intermediary in order to restore the authentic calligraphy to the greatest extent.During the Northern Song Dynasty, movable type printing appeared, and this method gradually became unused.

However, if you have the original handwriting, the imitation made in this way can perfectly reflect the demeanor and charm of the original brush and ink.

For example, most of the copies of the famous "Lanting Preface", including the "Shenlong Version" and "Dingwu Version", were "copied" by filling ink with double hooks.

Yu Yao nodded, "I think so too."

Lao Huang is not depressed, "If this is the case, a few thousand yuan will definitely not be a loss!"

Lao Huang didn't say how to deal with it, and Yu Yao wouldn't ask either.Moreover, he has no right to interfere with other people's things.However, Yu Yao definitely didn't want Lao Huang to deceive others by taking it as the real thing.

Not only was Lao Huang not too depressed, but he became more excited. Then he slapped his head and took out another calligraphy, saying that he would give it to Yu Yao.

Yu Yao hastily declined.Old Huang: "Let's see before we talk!"

The expansion is a vertical scroll, with big characters and regular script:

Unique insight.

The paper and frame seem to be from the period of the Republic of China.The first title: Hui Cun, the virtuous brother of Xuan He; signature: Brother Yu Peiji's book; under the signature, there is a red seal: photo by the White House.

To be honest, although this character has certain skills, it is still a little bit reluctant to call it calligraphy.And just looking at these two names, Yu Yao was also a little strange for a while.

After reading it, Yu Yao said, "Old Huang, there is an inscription on this word, and it is for someone else."

"It's true, I also received it by accident. But, brother, you can afford the four characters 'unique insight'! And the name 'Xuanhe' has the same meaning as the word 'Yao', isn't it? Wonderful?" Lao Huang explained, "The most important thing is that this calligraphy is not the work of ordinary people! Take a closer look at the seal!"

Yu Yao stared at the word "Pei Ji", and carefully identified the red seal of "White House Residence", recalling the celebrities in the period of the Republic of China, and while thinking, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind:
"Yi Peiji?"

Lao Huang nodded with a smile, "I have compared the materials, and it should be his handwriting! Moreover, the year of the paper and frame is also correct! His calligraphy forgeries are rare, and even if they are forgeries, they will not add such inscriptions, so It must be genuine."

Yi Peiji, a master of cultural relics during the Republic of China, was the principal of HUN Provincial First Normal School; in October 1925, the Palace Museum was established with Yi Peiji as its first director. In 10, he was wronged because of the robbery case in the Forbidden City and was forced to resign as the dean; he died of illness in Shanghai in 1933.

The term "jushe" originally meant that the emperor was too young to be in charge of the government, and the ministers took his place temporarily to handle government affairs; and the "White House" certainly did not refer to the White House in the United States, but should refer to the Forbidden City no longer ruled by a feudal dynasty.The Forbidden City back then is now the Palace Museum.

"It's not a problem to be genuine. But Lao Huang, Mr. Yi's calligraphy is worth tens of thousands. I don't get rewarded for nothing."

"You also said that you will not be rewarded without merit! You helped me read this piece of scriptures written by Tang people! I got this piece of calligraphy by accident. It didn't cost much, but it was also very special. I haven't shot it. It's a coincidence today, even if I Come on a whim! The word 'unique insight' is really suitable for you!"

Yu Yao smiled wryly, "As I said just now, this is for someone else, you can't just say it suits you!"

"Look down on me?" Lao Huang made a serious face on purpose, "Anyone who can be praised by Yi Peiji as 'unique eye' must be a high-ranking person, but I really didn't find out the name 'Xuan He'. You The word 'Yao' was hidden in the end!"

"Why do you look down on you? I just feel ashamed."

Lao Huang suddenly laughed, "If you insist that you can't afford these four characters, then it can be used as a calligraphy collection of famous people in the Republic of China, right?"

Yu Yao wanted to say more, but Shen Ge smiled and interjected, "Whether your eyesight is worthy or not, but Boss Huang has his heart, so don't refuse."

As a bystander, Shen Ge could already see that if Yu Yao could push it away, it would definitely be very unpleasant.

After Shen Ge said that, Yu Yao sighed, "Old Huang, I've convinced you."

"Yi Peiji is a master of cultural relics after all. You can improve his writing in Geguzhai!" Lao Huang laughed. "To be honest, if I didn't have self-knowledge, I would hang in Yimozhai!"

In the end, Yu Yao left with this letter.

Shen Ge was a little tired, so Yu Yao sent her home first.Seeing that it was still early, Yu Yao went to Geguzhai again.

Looking at the wall, there really is a suitable space, Yu Yao thought for a while, the words "unique insight" may be suspected of boasting, but if a customer comes to the door, it also means complimenting the customer in reverse.

Putting a nail on it, Yu Yao really hung up the picture.

Stepping back two meters, Yu Yao lit a cigarette and took a look.Not to mention, Yi Peiji's handwriting is very eye-catching. Looking at it, a literati's style is revealed, with a unique artistic conception.

"Xuanhe?" Yu Yao looked at it for a while, and couldn't help wondering who this person was.

At this time, the cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Xiao Ying who called.
