"What?"

When Jin Muchen was excited, a sentence of Cantonese appeared. Fang Bo smiled when he heard it. There are many immigrants from eastern Guangdong living in the United States, especially in Chinatown in Manhattan, so it is very common for Jin Muchen to speak a few words of Cantonese. thing.

"Have you seen this poem?"

Uncle Fang pointed to the poem engraved on the inkstone. Jin Muchen's attitude towards holding this inkstone was different at this time. He very carefully held the inkstone in front of him and looked at the carvings on it carefully. of that poem.

"The verse is very good, especially the majestic aura between the lines, but I have never heard of this poem in the famous masterpieces of all dynasties?"

"Isn't this your knowledge? The person who wrote this poem is not an ordinary person, but the former prime minister himself who went to Japan to study in the past!"

When Jin Muchen heard this, he almost threw the inkstone in his hand to the ground. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?

As we all know, didn't the first prime minister go to study in France? When have you been to Japan?

"That's right, in 1917, the first prime minister visited Japan once, and he wanted to study in Japan, but in the next year's entrance exam, he failed the Japanese test, so he was not accepted by the Japanese government. I was admitted to the school. Later, I took the ∷∷, x. test again, but I failed the Japanese test, and I was also not admitted. Later, the first prime minister returned to China in July, but only stayed at home for a month before going again. Japan, but this time, he didn't go to study, but to be a dormitory manager. It turned out that there was a 'New Middle School' in Japan at that time and there were 18 dormitories there. The first prime minister went to manage the dormitory this time. I went... and this poem was written by the former prime minister when he first traveled east to Japan..."

&nbs? "

I heard Fang Bo talk about such a piece of history. Jin Muchen felt that his chin was about to fall to the ground.

You must know that the first prime minister has a high historical prestige in China, and is even touted by many brainless fans as an elite figure who is in the sky but not on the earth.

Therefore, in China, it is impossible for him to know that the first prime minister has failed the exam twice and failed to be admitted to a Japanese university.

What's more, his old man actually worked as a dormitory administrator in Japan for two whole years...

Think about the later founding ancestors. It seems that I also worked as a picture at Peking University for a period of time...

This Nima? Could it be that the librarian, or the dormitory administrator, is really a job that can help people achieve success?

The two founding fathers, one of the five hooligans of later generations, actually did this at the beginning of their careers?

Why don't you go back and find a job as an administrator?

Jin Muchen felt that his mind was very confused, and Uncle Fang continued to explain the origin of Fang Duanyan to him at this time.

"Later, in 1978, Taizong was about to leave for Japan for his first ice-breaking trip. At that time, he had a headache. What kind of gift should he give to the Japanese. Later, someone suggested that the cultural atmosphere in Japan was very strong at that time. Many older Japanese people like Chinese calligraphy very much, so Taizong asked people to make Bafang Duan Inkstone in eastern Guangdong, and engraved on it the poems created when the first prime minister and Dongdu Fusang. Later, he arrived in Japan Later, when meeting with the then Prime Minister of Japan, Fukuda Fukuda, one of the inkstones was given to Fukuda. Later, the other seven inkstones were also given to the pro-China friendly people in Japan at that time. Among those people , some are Japanese business tycoons, and some are folks. Presumably this inkstone was collected by Tanaka's grandfather from a private person who was given the inkstone back then. In those days, Taizong regarded the Duan inkstone as a national gift. After it was given to the Japanese, there was a rapid rise in the collection of Duan inkstones in Japan. This is also the main reason why the Japanese went to the country to scavenge goods as long as Duan inkstones appeared at the Canton Fair. However, recently In the past 20 years, this wave of inkstone craze has faded a lot in Japan, and there are not many young people in the new generation who like calligraphy, which is the main reason why you can pick up such a huge bargain today."

After Fang Bo explained this, Jin Muchen understood the origin of the Fang Duan inkstone in his hand.

Nima, in this way, the background of Fang Duanyan is really not small. In the past, His Majesty Taizong gave the Japanese as a national gift, a total of eight blessings, and now he has made a party himself. This is really not an ordinary one. Luck can describe.

Even now, Duan inkstone is no longer a popular antique in Japan, but as a national gift, there will still be many Japanese flocking to it.

There is something that the Japanese don't have, and now I have another piece in my hand, which is a great feeling.

At this time, Jin Muchen looked at the Fang Duan inkstone in his hand, which was very different from before, at least it was different from before. There were more than a dozen Duan inkstones on the bed, but those inkstones and his own hands This one is clearly incomparable.

This piece in my hand, because it has the bonus of national gifts, its worth must be very different from other Duan inkstones. Although it is not used by ancient celebrities, it is also something that Taizong personally gave back then, so its history The value cannot be confused with the ordinary Duan inkstone.

Looking at the other two inkstones in front of Fang Bo, Jin Muchen couldn't help frowning, what are the origins of these two inkstones?

Uncle Fang pulled them out of the dozen or so pieces of inkstone. It was not for nothing, right?

Based on what he knew about the old man, Uncle Fang must have a reason for doing this, Uncle Fang also noticed his eyes, then looked at the two inkstones in front of him, and pushed them both in front of Jin Muchen: "This is You are taking a good look at the two inkstones."

Jin Muchen put down the national ceremony inkstone in his hand, brought the two inkstones in front of him, and looked at them carefully.

When Jin Muchen bought these inkstones before, she was overjoyed when she patronized them, but she just judged whether these inkstones were real Duan inkstones.

At this time, Fang Bo pushed these two inkstones over, took a look at them, and really noticed the difference between these two inkstones and the other dozen Duan inkstones.

Of the two inkstones, one has a peculiar shape. This square is made of a blue-and-white double-eared vase as the floor.

The top is narrow and the bottom is wide, and the carving is vivid. There is also a copybook engraved on the neck of the neck. If you look closely, you can see that it is a copy of Wang Xizhi's "Peace Note". To be able to engrave such a copybook in such a narrow place as the neck of the neck shows the production. sculptor's craftsmanship.

The widest part under the vase is made into a grinding disc, and there are also painted inscriptions imitating blue and white on both sides. Just looking at the carving craftsmanship is enough to make people fall in love with it.

And under the bottleneck copybook, you can also see the word 'Li' carved out of flowers, presumably this should be the author's name.

This Fang Duan inkstone can be said to be crafted with ingenious craftsmanship, and Jin Muchen liked it very much.

Although he is a complete layman in stone carving, he can also see that the pattern carving on the edge of this Duan Inkstone is quite a skill, and he is very particular about applying skills according to materials. Homeopathic carving pays great attention to the integration of line and surface, and the harmony of movement and stillness. After watching it for a long time, it can quite make people feel a kind of connection between the soul and the unity of nature and man.

This is definitely the work of everyone, even if it is done by modern people, this master is enough to be called a master just for this carving skill.

On the other hand, the strangeness of the Duan Inkstone is reflected in the material of this Duan Inkstone. It is not the pure black or brown Duan Inkstone material. In the middle of the grinding plate, there are several yellow stone patterns.

And the shape of this stone pattern is also very peculiar, just like a dragon that is rising, and the maker is also ingenious. Just outside the grinding table, he carved two black dragons that are spitting beads, so that The pattern of the intersection of three dragons is formed, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

After carefully examining the two square inkstones, Jin Muchen immediately felt the difference between the two square inkstones and the other ten square inkstones.

The quality of the other Shifang inkstones, and the engraving work, can also be regarded as top-level craftsmanship, but compared with these two parties, both in terms of technology and meaning, they are far worse.

He raised his head again and looked at Fang Bo~www.wuxiaspot.com~, waiting for him to unravel his confusion.

"The two inkstones, and the national gift you saw before, were made by the same person. The master's name is Li Jian, but now we are one of the top craftsmen in our country. Li, he was responsible for the production, and it was those works that made him famous in the industry at a young age. Later, he was named a master of contemporary arts and crafts in 1988, a model worker in 8@9, and began to lead the country in 1991. Special allowance, in 2000, he was listed as one of the 100 domestic artists, and his avatar was made into stamps by the Ministry of Posts to issue. The year before last, he was rated as a world-class handicraft master by the international handicraft organization... Many of his works are It was taken as a national gift and given to foreign friends, and some of it was collected by our top domestic museums and the Great Hall of the People... So do you think his works can be mixed with those ordinary Duan inkstones?"

After Fang Bo introduced the origins of the two Fang Duan inkstone producers to Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen felt that he had listened stupidly.

A national-level art master, a world-class handicraft master, and a person who is still alive can be stamped with his avatar, then this person is too awesome! (To be continued...)
