Did you know that some of the calligraphy classics that we know today were handed down from ancient times, and some fell from the sky?
It is said that at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, several pieces of Cao Wei Zhongxuan ink that had been "missing" for more than 1,000 years appeared one after another, which caused a lot of waves among the literati at that time, the most famous of which was the "Recommended Season Straight Table". It's a strange thing. Because no one had ever seen this work before, and no one had heard of it, it appeared so suddenly. And the content is written with a nose and an eye; the handwriting is very bell-catching.
The "Straight Table of the Recommended Seasons" is a recital submitted by Zhong Xuan to Emperor Cao Pi in the second year of the Three Kingdoms Wei HuangChu (221). Zhong Xuan said that Ji Zhi was the former Shanyang Taishou, the Marquis of Guannei, who was a hero of the former emperor Cao Cao's unification of the north, and was later deposed and mixed up very badly, Zhong Xuan asked Emperor Wen to read the old feelings and give a job bowl, he promised Ji Zhi that he was a clean official, and if he could be kind, he would definitely repay the holy grace and serve the people. Unfortunately, the historical records have no record of this, and we do not know the fate of Ji Zhi's later.
Since there is no evidence, some people have determined that this is a forgery. But I had to admit that this article was well written, so I gave it the nickname "pseudo-good thing". However, this good thing is really too good, the Ming Dynasty carved into the "True Appreciation Of the Zhai Ti", the Qing Dynasty carved into the "Three Xi Tang", listed at the top of the chapters. Mingren Lu Xingzhi said: "The "Recommendation Season Straight Table" is ancient and simple, super wonderful, and there is no jin and Tang dynasty flower arrangement beauty. Wang Shizhen believes that after the appearance of this post, "those who study the bell in the world no longer know that there is a "Chunhua Pavilion"" (referring to the "Chunhua Pavilion Post" in which the bell is inscribed). There are probably so many zhongxuan inscriptions in the "Chunhua Ge Ti". They are declaration tables:
"Also Show":
"White Rider":
"FrequentLy Affected Posts", "Snow Cold Posts":
Wang Shizhen believes that the artistic standard of "Recommended Season Direct Table" is much higher than the above posts, and the main reason is its simple and natural posture. The Liang Dynasty scholar Yu Yiwu once compared the characteristics of Zhong Xuan with Zhang Zhi and Wang Xizhi and said: "Zhang Kung Fu is first, natural is second", "Zhong is natural first, Gongfu is second", "Wang Gongfu is not as good as Zhang, natural is too much; nature is not as good as Zhong, and Gongfu is too much." The Yuan people may still suspect that this is a forgery, but the Ming people do not doubt it at all, and take it seriously. They feel that the kind of nature in "Recommended Season Straight Watch" can be written by no one except Zhong Xuan. The layout of "Straight Table of Recommendation Seasons" is ethereal, the knot is loose, the body is flat, although it does not have the neat law of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, but it is full of fun and wonderful. This style directly influenced zhu Yunming, a Ming Dynasty xiaokai master, and this influence also affected Wang Pet, Zodiac Zhou, Fu Shan, and later Liu Yong.
There are many engravings in the "Straight Table of the Recommended Seasons", among which the Ming Dynasty Huaxia "True Appreciation Zhai Ti" is the most capable of conveying the gods. Qianlong loved this post very much, and the "Sanxitang Fa Ti" naturally had to be carved, but unfortunately, in order to adapt to the specifications of the stone, he moved his hands and feet, hurting the important features of the original post "dense between the rows". Qianlong always likes to do this kind of thing, "Mid-Autumn Festival" has been engraved like this, "Recommended Season Straight Table" is still so engraved, can the emperor be willful?
See, this is the inkblot of the original post:
During the Qing Dynasty, this inkblot entered the Tibetan Inner Province, and later it was not known. A legend is that when the Anglo-French army burned the Yuanmingyuan in 1860, the post was robbed by an British soldier, then fell into the hands of a collector, and was stolen by thieves and buried in the ground, and when it was dug up, it was rotten.
And the ink we see are the photos of who took the post at some point. The ink is like a yellow crane, fortunately with photographic technology, we can still get a glimpse. I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where to go, this is the "Recommended Season Straight Table" that came out of nowhere...
