Chen Jieqi and "Ten Bells Mountain House Printing"

The "Ten Bells Mountain House Seal" has always been regarded by scholars as "the world has no fixed version", and in the 13 years from the eleventh year of Tongzhi (1872) to the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), it was edited and revised many times by Chen Jieqi, changed its manuscript several times, and painstakingly managed it. However, it was not compiled until Chen Jieqi's death, so there was no final version of the Ten Bells Mountain House Seal.

Chen Jieqi and "Ten Bells Mountain House Printing"

Chen Jieqi was a famous collector of the Qing Dynasty, especially in the collection and examination of Jinshi characters. He did not hesitate to collect cultural relics at great expense, and Shang and Zhou bronzes, ancient seals, sealed clay, ancient pottery, Qin and Han bronzes, and quanliang edicts, mirrors, carved stones, bricks and tiles are all in his collection. Chen's ancient seal collection of more than 7,000 squares, for the Qing people's private collection of ancient seals richest, he named a place where he lived "Wanyin Lou", hoping that the ancient seals could exceed 10,000 squares. The Ten Bells Mountain House Seal is mainly based on its self-Tibetan ancient seals, and also collects the tibetan seals of Li Zhangyu, Wu Shifen, Wu Yun, Wu Dacheng, Li Zuoxian, and Bao Kang.

Chen Jieqi and "Ten Bells Mountain House Printing"

There are two main extant sources of the Ten Bells Mountain House Seal of the Plutonium Printed Edition: the "Nongshen Ben" and the "癸未本". All were written by Chen Jieqi before his death. The Nongshen Ben is divided into "壬一本" and "壬二本". In the first book, the first page of each lift is engraved with the words "Ten Bells Mountain House Seal" and "Tongzhi Nongshen Seaside Medical History Sixty Years Old". The paper surface is smooth and yellowish, that is, he Kunyu said that the ten parts printed on "broad paper" are too wet, so that Zhu Wen loses his fat, and Bai Wen suffers from thinness. In the second book, the first page of each lift is engraved with the words "Ten Bells Mountain House Seal", "Tongzhi Nongshen Seaside Medical History Sixty Years Old", white thick cotton "Su Paper" book, the board frame is slightly shorter than the nong one, one or two points, but because this paper printing clay is properly coordinated, the original printed glyph is well preserved, like a 24-volume "Ten Bell Mountain House Seal" that appeared on the market before, which is a very typical "Nong Er Ben".

In the collection of "Ten Bells Mountain House Seal", there are often anecdotes between early gold stone collectors. Chen Jieqi edited the "Ten Bells Mountain House Printing" print score, first got a number of small copies, and then prepared to re-expand the big book of ten parts, but lacked funds, at this time Wu Hufan's ancestor Wu Dazheng exchanged 300 silver to promote. Afterwards, Chen Jieqi returned the gift with three large copies, and specially expanded 12 copies on both sides, and one jade seal to reward him. Wu Hufan later gave Chen Julai 12 volumes of the two-sided printing. Mr. Chen Julai has a narrow personality, and in the "Trivia of the Characters of the Holding Room", there are micro-words for all the families on the sea, and the words of praise for the lake sails and the two families of Daqian can be seen, which shows the depth of the favor of the Wu family. The Xiling Printing Society has a collection of 100 large-scale copies of the "Ten Bell Mountain Fang Seals", which Zhang Lu'an spent 800 taels of silver to purchase from Wu Hufan, and in October 1962, together with nearly 432 other 2,000 copies of the historical seals and 1525 square precious seals, it was entered into the Xiling Printing Society.

Chen Jieqi has compiled for more than ten years and distributed various editions, including fifty volumes, one hundred and eight volumes, seventy volumes, twenty-two volumes, twenty volumes, sixteen volumes, fourteen volumes, eight volumes, eighty-one volumes, and one hundred and ninety-one volumes in the National Library alone. At present, the vast majority of plutonium prints are collected in the National Museum, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Library and other collection institutions, so that the industry has a sigh of "regretting the number of examples and changing drafts, the rate is not ready, so it cannot fulfill its purpose, and the United States still has regrets".
