Time flies, the special collection of carved copper study room has been unconscious for ten years, once for the exploration and study of the abandoned sleep and forget to eat, but also for the world to find treasures and servant dust. In the past ten years, we have gathered eighty pieces of brooms and self-cherished collections, and we will continue to move towards the goal of 100 treasures in the future, hoping that one day we can collect and publish them to summarize. Here, we have successively published rewritten appreciation articles, most of which are game works, to Bo Yi yue.

Beijing Tonggutang Lu and Jiu Shi Qi Chen Man Mo Jin Wen ink cartridge

The stalls of Baoguo Temple in Beijing
This collection first came from the stall of the Baoguo Temple Coin Exchange Association, which was an important production place of the carved copper study room, and in the past, every Thursday at five or six o'clock in the morning, vendors from all over the world and various buyers began to gather at the Baoguo Temple, and the story of picking up leaks could not be told. There have been nearly 20 cm square Beijing Tonggutang Yao Mang father pen big landscape ink cartridge, there have also been like Beijing Tonggutang Zheng Xiaoxu self-use Scattered Plate inscription ink cartridge, Chunjing Pavilion Yao Mang Father Six Buddhas and Niche ink cartridges such as top quality, and even the legend that in the early years there was a set of Meilan Zhuju original light ink cartridges written by a famous master.

More than ten years ago, the author began to like to play with old objects, and was particularly interested in old bronzeware full of historical sense, but at the beginning I didn't understand anything and there was no channel, so I shoped on Taobao. At that time, there was an online store opened by a Shaanxi sister in Beijing, and I bought some gadgets in her store one after another. Later, once I went to Beijing on a business trip, my eldest sister took me to Baoguo Temple for the first time to visit the stalls. I remember it was a winter morning, and the biting cold wind could freeze me, a person from the south who used to wear single pants. In the end, I didn't remember what I bought that day, but the warm breakfast at the snack bar at the entrance of Baoguo Temple made me remember it vividly. Later, every time I went to Beijing on business, I would try to arrange it around Thursday, just to go to the morning market to get addicted, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to encounter the legendary big leak.

Baoguo Temple is also particularly emotional for the copper engraving community, because the first National Copper Engraving Art Colleagues Ya Collection was held there in 2009 under the initiative of Mr. Zhou Jilie. Unfortunately, nowadays, the stalls of Baoguo Temple every Thursday have been cancelled, but the four times a year coin exchange meeting stalls will still be displayed as scheduled, if you have the opportunity to visit Baoguo Temple in the future, you can go to find the antique shop owner Song Libing, this old land will tell you those stories...

Carved bronze collection of rivers and lakes
The box was from Baoguo Temple, and Ling Hu Cong bought it. Ling Hucong, not in the laughing pride of the rivers and lakes, but in the prosperous forum.
Established around 2005, the Shengshi Collection Forum is the main online gathering place in the bronze collection community, and once the forum was bustling with people, and the number of top posts in the popular sections even exceeded a thousand times a day. In the past two years, due to the development of WeChat, it has gradually weakened. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the virtual world is the same, and the carved copper circle is a small river and lake. Just like in the early years of Alibaba, every employee had a martial arts character's name, and the bronze plate of the Shengshi Forum also had Ling Hucong, who was lonely and defeated.
Ling Hucong (real name has a word), a Wenzhou person, active in the field of engraved copper collection in his early years, with the unique diligence of Zhejiang people and the cunning of Ling Huchong,Although there are not many theories, but the vision is particularly strong, he has collected a number of top carved copper study rooms. Seven years ago, due to some personal reasons, Ling Hucong wanted to sell five fine ink cartridges, including this collection of authors, Beijing Tonggutang Zhang Haoru National Color Tianxiang Peony Ink Cartridge, Chen Shi once gave Wang Xiangqi Pine Tree Ink Cartridge, Commercial Press Zhang Haoru Landscape Ink Cartridge, and Beijing Tonggutang Yao Mang Father Interpretation Ink Cartridge. These five pieces are all first-class and first-class top fine works, all of which have been selected into the book "Treasures of the Republic of China Carved Copper Literary Room", looking at the present, if anyone owns this batch of fine works, they can also be properly ranked among the top ten collectors in the country.
Four other engraved copper cartridge treasures
What a rare opportunity it seems to be now, but it was not grasped at the time. Although the author worked for a world-class foreign company in those years, the income is not cheap, but to take out so much cash at once is also a shot is also a thorn in the elbow, helplessly only chose two of them, now I really regret it. Collecting is like life, some things, some people, once missed, no more. Later, as far as I know, Haoru Peony went to Shijiazhuang, Haoru Shanshui married into Ningbo, and Father Shiyin went to Shandong.
The carved copper collection is bustling on the rivers and lakes, and new people will continue to join, and people will continue to wash their hands in the golden basin. The status of the jianghu is never blown out by the mouth, but is determined by the level of the collection, even if it is the collection that was once owned. Without those exquisite collections, Mr. Wang Shixiang would not have been admired by so many people even if he wrote more articles. Regardless of whether Ling Fox Hero will appear in the jianghu in the future or not, his vision and the collection of that year have already established the status of the jianghu, and his legend will also be circulated with this article.

Lu Hejiu's ink cartridge
The saying "Only Chu has talent" is indeed true, and there are many people who have gone out from Hubei, a fertile land with thick cultural accumulation, and have made achievements in academics. Brushing away the dust and smoke of history, the plutonium is imprinted on the long volume of the development of Chinese epigraphy, and a shining name , "Lu Hejiu" is prominently present in front of you.
Lu Hejiu (1883 ~ 1958) Hubei Qiuyang people, the real name of Kaijun, Zihe Jiu, No. 9 ink factory. He was a professor at Peking University of China and the Department of Chinese Literature at Fu Jen University, and a librarian at the Central Museum of Culture and History. Lu Hejiu wrote a lot of works in his lifetime, including "Lecture Notes on Chinese Epigraphy", "Supplementary Examination of Portrait Inscriptions in Han Wu's Stone Room", "Famous Collection of Stone Carvings", "Philology", "Chinese Antiquarians", "Jin Shi Wenyuan", "Records of Jin Wenyuan after Han Dynasty", "Fragmented Manuscript of Zhu Huang", "Examination of Northern Zhou Statues", "Records of Statues of Past Dynasties", "Examination of Portraits of Xiaotang Mountain", "Examination of Residual Steles of Shunling", "Catalogue of Jinyuan Steles of Song and Liao", and dozens of others have been handed down. Ma Guoquan's "Biography of Modern Indians" introduces his achievements in seal engraving. There are only a few Hubei calligraphers included in Wang Chaobin's "Calligraphy of the Republic of China", and Lu Hejiu is included in it with his prominent reputation.
Lu Hejiu was born in Shuxiangmendi, a descendant of the Mongol royal family, whose ancestors fled to Hubei Province due to the difficulties of the court in the early Yuan Dynasty. When Lu Hejiu was young, he was influenced by his ancestors, and he especially loved calligraphy and painting seal engraving, and the seal of the seal was passed down to Lu Hejiu for seven generations. In his youth, Lu Hejiu studied at the Wuchang Wushu Academy and the Qing Officials' Department XuezhiGuan. His family's mellow learning and personal diligence eventually benefited him, and he later served as a teacher of Chinese literature at the Third Normal School in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, and the head of the Chinese Literature Section of Wuchang University.
If you trace the origins of Lu Hejiu's governance, mr. Middle-aged and moved to Beijing should be a very important watershed. During the Republic of China period, the advent of oracle bones and a number of bronzes shocked the academic community, so that the cultural people of old Beijing had a characteristic that they liked to visit the glass factory and attached special importance to the collation and research of antiquities, and Lu Hejiu was no exception, at this time he was a lecturer in the Department of Chinese Studies of Fu Jen University, teaching epigraphy, antiquities, philology and calligraphy and seal engraving. From the needs of academic research, spare no effort to collect the golden stone tablets, and get an elegant name in the circle, called "Ink Tiger King". When people find good films, they must ask Lu Hejiu to identify them, and when they encounter good Jingtuo inscriptions, Lu Hejiu often gladly signs them. The appraisal of "Ink Tiger" is like today's notarization, the seeker has to be assured, Lu Hejiu has to be eye-catching, worth it!
Liulichang carved copper ink cartridges of the famous artist Zhang Fanchen, Su Xi invited famous calligraphers and painters to design drawings for him, Lu Hejiu's elegant calligraphy and painting sketches were engraved on the ink cartridge by Zhang Fanchen, and for a time became the literary and elegant works cherished by the literati and inkers at that time. QingyunTang is the most famous stele shop in Liulichang, in order to have a direct channel for collecting and researching, Lu Hejiu spent a lot of time participating in the examination and collation of Qingyuntang's inscriptions, so he often regarded himself as the "Lord of Qingyuntang".
Qi Baishi, a generation of seal engraving masters, asked his son Qi Liangchi to worship Lu hejiu as a teacher, and studied the Qin Han Seal from Mr. Lu Hejiu at Fu Jen University, and Qi Liangchi better absorbed Lu Hejiu's "double-sided entry knife" when he studied his father's seal to "enter the knife on both sides". As far as academia is concerned, it is inclusive and integrates the strengths of a hundred families into a great instrument, and the Indians are no exception.
Lu Hejiu, who calls himself the "owner of Qingyun Hall", his frequented Qingyun Hall, the bookstore opened by Zhang Yucheng on the right, and tonggutang are in the south of Liulichang West Street, and the two stores are only a few tens of meters apart, and Lu Hejiu is also the teacher of Shao Cheng, the son of Tonggutang Dong. Time seems to have really been reincarnated, and now, Mr. Zhang Guowei, the grandson of Mr. Zhang Fancheng, is a clerk of Qingyuntang.
Let's take a closer look at this golden and stone-flavored Beijing Tonggutang ink cartridge.
The inscription on the box reads: "Qi Chen Man Mu old Tuoben, Western Qing Dynasty Ancient Classics have been loaded."
Qi Chenman did not dare to travel to Kang, Zhaoqin Jingde, as the emperor to offer the food pan Yongbao
Qiuyang Lu and the Nine Interpretations"
Size:9.3*6.4*2.7cm

Warring States text
The inscription on the ink cartridge is derived from the Qi Chen Man of the Warring States.
Fu (Fu) is a utensil for holding meals such as millet, rice, and beams during sacrifices and banquets. Please refer to the type of instrument drawn by Mr. Lu Hejiu himself.
Chen Manqi (陈馬簠器), also known as Qi Chen Manzha Emperor Kao Xian Shu Qi ,明四行2字,22 Characters in the early Warring States period. The height is 11, the length of the mouth is 19.4, the width of the mouth is 31 cm, and the weight is 3.15 kg. Narrow along the outer stroke, straight abdomen lower part folded inward, and then harvested into a flat bottom, under the four oblique feet, the sole of the foot is webbed, and there is a pair of animal head ears at both ends of the abdomen. The mouth is decorated with a dragon pattern, and the abdomen is decorated with a square folding coiled dragon pattern. The text recounts the situation in which Chen Man made a tool for his imperial examination. The inscription has an inscription of 4 lines and 22 characters. Donated by Mr. Li Yinxuan and Mr. Qiu Hui. It is now in the collection of the Shanghai Museum. The inscription is exquisite and rigorous, with a sharp horizontal square with a pen, and the knot body is changeable, which is another integrated posture of the ancient chinese in the early Warring States period.
In order to see the actual qi chen man, I deliberately ran to the Shanghai Museum twice, the first time coinciding with the closure of the bronze museum. The second time I went to find Qi Chen Manqi as a non-display item in the collection, I could only regret it. But you can see the appearance of this basket from the picture found on the Internet, and there should be a lid on it.
Chen Manming's calligraphy is very distinctive, and the development of Jin Wen to the Warring States period, the posture and brushwork have changed, changing the Western Zhou Jin Wen's round and thick style. "Chen Manqi" takes the vertical style, and from the perspective of the neatness of the strokes and the uniform distribution of the spacing and line spacing, it has taken the rudimentary shape of the small seal posture. Although Xiaozhuan inherited the tradition of Qin script (such as "Qin Gonggui", "Shigu wen", etc.), it was undoubtedly influenced by fonts such as "Chen Manji". Epigraphy has a very good reputation. This inscription calligraphy is mostly square and sharp at the end, but there is no lack of circular strokes, which has a strong decorative taste. In the Qi dynasty calligraphy advocating the fangshi school, it is out of the shadows, with precision and strictness, with a pen longitudinal sharp horizontal square is another important posture of the early Warring States ancient text. The book is beautiful, graceful and elegant, which is very different from the majestic and solemn Western Zhou Jinwen.
The characteristics of the Qi script are that the glyphs and strokes are relatively symmetrical, there is a bold and rough atmosphere, the thickness of the strokes is between the golden text and the small seal, and the glyphs are narrow and long, such as the Qi Chen ManQi inscription; although it preserves the thin and neat form in the Qi Jin text in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, it is rare to deliberately drag and twist and straighten the strokes, and the lines are folded in many ways. For example, the words "陳", "A" and so on are added to the bottom of the word "soil". Judging from the shape of the text and the style of calligraphy, there are signs of a transition to a small seal. It provides physical information for the study of the transition from jinwen to small seals. The following three characters in the inscription are all contrary to the above, the style is inconsistent with the above, when it is from another person, it should be a temporary change at the time of production, which is also the only example seen in the pre-Qin Jin calligraphy. The strict rectification of Qi Chen Manqi can be called a masterpiece of the Eastern Tu system.

Explanation of the cartridge
Epigraphers tend to have different views on the notes of the epigraphers. As for the kind of interpretation that is the correct solution, we no longer have this cultural background to identify. Mr. Lu Hejiu's explanatory text is: Qi Chenman did not dare to travel to Kang, and Zhaoqin jingde was made emperor to dedicate his uncle Topan Yongbao. Different interpretations can be seen in the complete collection of Chinese art as "Qi (Chen) Man Bu (Dare) Yi Kang, 肈堇 (Sincere) Jingde, Zha (Zuo) Huang Kao Hang (Xian Shu Yu Pan), Yong Bao Yong Zhen." ”
There is also an explanation of the picture below.

Qianlong's Western Qing Dynasty Ancient Classics
What does it mean that the ink cartridge is engraved with the "Ancient Book of the Western Qing Dynasty"? The Ancient Book of the Western Qing Dynasty, forty volumes, with sixteen volumes of the Qianlu. It is a large-scale genealogy of ancient bronzes hidden in the qing dynasty court. There were 1529 pieces of bronze ware (including copper mirrors) from the Shang Zhou to the Tang Dynasty, and most of them were Shang Zhou Yi ware. Qing Liang Shizheng and other Feng Shu xiu, Qianlong fourteen years (1749) began to compile, Qianlong twenty years (1755) completed the book. Qingqianlong twenty years Wuying Hall engraving. Version frame 29.5cm × 22 .6cm. Half page 10 lines, line 18 words, white mouth, single fish tail, surrounded by double columns, no line grid. Magnetic green book coat, yellow Aya bookmark, wrapped corner. In front of the book, there is a decree on the seventh day of the first month of November in the fourteenth year of Qianlong, and the names of the ministers who revised the "Ancient Classics of the Western Qing Dynasty", which were edited by Liang Shizheng and Jiang Pu, Chen Xiaoyong and Yang Ruilian, painted by liang guan and Ding Guanhe in the painting academy, and li zongwan and others. 42 volumes, 4 letters.
The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the collection and collation of cultural relics and classics, and ordered that the bronzes such as Ding, Zun and Yi in the Inner House be divided into categories, and the "Archaeological Map" and "Xuanhe BoguTu" were compiled. This book is a collection of 1529 ancient bronze artifacts in the Qing Palace, each of which draws a map, and the figure is said to be in letters. The drawings are exquisite, not lost at all, the circumference of the utensils, the height, breadth, and weight are recorded in detail, and the inscriptions of the ancient artifacts are all hooked and annotated. Although the examination is based on the theories of Ouyang Xiu and other families, it is beyond the reach of all the families. The book refutes the fallacies of successive generations of writers, explains difficulties, and supplements omissions, so that three generations of ancient artifacts are as they are now.
The Qianlong Neifu engraved "Western Qing Ancient Classic" has been rarely passed down from generation to generation, although some of the forgeries are included in the book, but because the artifacts are hidden in the Qingnei Province, it is rare in the world, so this book has a great influence on the study of bronze ware in later generations.
See how the contents contained in the Western Qing Dynasty Ancient Classics (see picture below) differ from those inscribed in the ink cartridge.
--- the name of the artifact contained in the Western Qing Dynasty Ancient Classics is Zhou Yuyi.
--The three characters under the inscription recorded in the Western Qing Ancient Classics are the opposite of the inscriptions inscribed in the ink cartridge. This also leads to an allusion to the "anti-text".
The difference between the old Tuoben of Qi Chen Manqi engraved in the ink cartridge and the new Tuoben recorded in the Ancient Classics of the Western Qing Dynasty
The following three words of the new and old extensions are different anyway, while the other words are exactly the same, indicating that the two original models, due to the damage of the following three words, had to make up the character models, and the row was reversed. Guo Moruo commented under the figure: "Erming is a model except for the following three words. The following three words, the second instrument are reversed, and the two words are translocated. Cover fan loss, the following another casting mold, pressure time mistaken reaction also. "This should have inspired the invention of movable type printing. It is not unreasonable for some to see it as a precursor to movable type printing.

Appendix: Classification of the Golden Code of Writings
Mr. Li Ruiqing of the Qing Dynasty once teamed a comprehensive and meticulous classification study of the style of jinwen, and divided jinwen into two factions.
(A) Yin School: Turtle version, the oracle bone of the cow bone, Chen Manqi, Ju Yi, "Pat Pan" and other Jin wen also belong to the Yin school, a tributary of the Yin school. This school of writing style is simple, thin and powerful, and has the characteristics of square pens.
(B) Zhou Pai:
"Mao Gongding", "Three Songs", "Stone Drum Text", and "Shuoding" belong to one school, that is, the Zhou Temple, which can best represent the characteristics of Zhou Shu. The Zhou Dynasty shangwen is still polite, the style of writing is rigorous, neat and orderly, the rules are courteous, the Zhou seal is authentic, and the penmanship is round and beautiful. However, the inscriptions are not exactly the same. The end of "Mao Gongding" is solemn and changeable, and the knot of "Shuoding" is dense and informal, jagged and able to do so, which is better than "Stone Drum". The three instruments of "Three Odes" have their own characteristics.
The six instruments such as "Qi Hou Wei" are one school. This school of writing is long and curved, the change of the seal book is the polar track, and if you can do this, the pen is reversed, and it is all good fun.
Seventeen instruments such as "Chu Gong Zhong" and "Lu Ding" are one school. There are many of these schools, and it is difficult to describe them. "Chu Gong Zhong" is in the front, and the calligraphy Qi Gu is also better than "Lu Ding", so it is named "Chu Gong Zhong". "Lu Ding" is the ancestor of the square pen, and the later square pen is the ancestor of this.
The Scatter Disc school. The original seal books are all taken from the vertical posture, but this instrument is cross-derived with a pen, mellow and ancient, and the eagle is majestic, which should be the first seal book.
The "Keding" school, including the "White Disk of the Season of The Dragon" and other four instruments. This school is dominated by Kuan Bo Xionghun, and the interpretation of this ancient seal is related to the present seal. Then you can taste ancient and modern calligraphy, and learn ancient calligraphy without being confined by the ancients.
Seven instruments such as "Mane, Biding" are one faction. This school is still vertical, and its upper and lower symmetries are wonderful, and the Crane Ming and Huang Ting are deeply rooted. Later, Moya, Han, Wei, and the Six Dynasties all got their secrets.
The "Gong Zhong" sect has fourteen instruments, which are actually out of the Yin sect, and the knot is long and close to Chu, and its cloth white is densely taking a posture.
"Dading" and other eight instruments and a school. The magic of this school is in the neat and wide Bo, there is the magic of left and right, the secret of the upper and lower phases, in the "Mane; Bi Ding" is a school of seeking it, and referring to the method of "Dading" left and right, although the future book is long and huge, there is nothing to be seen.
The Lu Gong Fa Ding School. Ding Wen is steep and cold, there is no stroke that is not dangerous, there is no stroke that is not straight, so it is very difficult. Later, "Cuan Long Yan" used the pen to take the momentum to make this happen, which is not well known to the calligrapher.
The rest of those who have not been lifted may be assigned to each instrument according to their text.
