Qi Gong Treatise Book II: Why is the Ping Fu Ti called the Emperor of Mo? Is the bookmaker really a land machine? Doubts abound

author:Han Mo Jinxiang

Qi Gong Treatise Book Poem 2:

The green ink shines with ancient light, and the gold inscription is illuminated.

Ten years of school through the quicksand Jane, calm and shameless ink emperor.

This poem refers to the famous Fa Ti of the Western Jin Dynasty, "Ping Fu Ti".

Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher and connoisseur of the Ming Dynasty, said in the inscription of the "PingFu Ti": "Before the Right Army, after the Yuan Chang, there are several lines for this, for XiDaibao." The "Right Army" here is the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the "Yuan Chang" is the great calligrapher Zhong Xuan of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period, and is also considered by later generations to be the originator of the Calligraphy.

Dong Qichang believes that between the Three Kingdoms and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, just a few lines of handwriting represent the style of writing in the Western Jin Dynasty, so it is praised as a "rare treasure".

Judging from modern archaeology and identification, Wang Xizhi's heirloom inkblots are all reproductions, facsimiles of the Tang Dynasty are already rare, and Zhong Xuan's "Declaration Table" is not the original work of the Three Kingdoms period. And the "Ping Fu Ti" is widely recognized as the authentic ink book of the Western Jin Dynasty, which is indeed more important than these facsimiles of Wang Xizhi and Zhong Xuan.

Therefore, the "Ping Fu Ti" is even more precious, and it sits firmly on the throne of "Mo Huang" and "Theo". Therefore, Mr. Qi Gong's last sentence in this poem on the book says: "Calm down and sign the Ink Emperor without shame."

The "Ping Fu Ti" is recognized as the "Emperor of Ink" and is undoubtedly the authentic handwriting of the Jin people, but the fact that the author is Lu Ji has always been suspicious.

Because the "Ping Fu Ti" is not signed, there is no exact record of who wrote it. This post was included in the Emperor's Inner Mansion during the Tang Dynasty, and was identified as the original work of Lu Ji in the Song Dynasty. The great calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, Mi Fu, once commented on the "Ping Fu Ti": "The fire is painted with ash" to praise the vigorous and dry beauty of the lines of the "Ping Fu Ti".

Although the "Ping Fu Ti" is written by the bald thief pen, the ink book is still thick and antique, and Zhang Ugly in the Ming Dynasty once recorded: "Ink has green". Therefore, Mr. Qi Gong's poem in the clouds: Cui Mo suddenly shines with ancient light.

Emperor Huizong of Song personally identified, and the ZhuShu inscription: "The History of the Inner History of the Jin Plain", there is the famous Song Huizong Double Dragon Small Seal under the inscription, and the four corners have the seals of "Zhenghe" and "Xuangong".

Because it was collected by the emperor, the mounting of the "Ping Fu Ti" can be said to be quite luxurious, so Mr. Qi Gong's poem Zhongyun: The Golden Inscription Brocade Shines brightly.

The collection of "Pingfu Ti" in the Yuan Dynasty is not very clear, and during the Ming Dynasty, it was successively collected by Han Shineng, Han Fengxi father and son, An Yizhou, Liang Qingbiao and others, and there are collection marks on the water across the Ayabian. And Dong Qichang is the "Ping Fu Ti" that Han Shi Neng saw at home, and left an inscription.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was included in the Inner Province, and was later given to the famous calligrapher of the time, Prince Cheng Yongxuan. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it entered the GongWang Mansion and passed on to the famous calligrapher and painter Pu Xinqi at that time, so the "Pu Xinqi Identification Calligraphy and Painting Collection Seal" was also left on the water. Later, it was resold to Mr. Zhang Boju, and in 1956, Mr. Zhang Boju donated the "Ping Fu Ti" and collected it with the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Although the "Ping Fu Ti" has been circulated, there has never been any definite evidence to prove that it was written by Lu Ji. Since ancient times, Chinese calligraphy and painting collections have always been accustomed to classifying some unsigned works into the hands of famous artists. Before the Tang and Song dynasties, calligraphy and painting works rarely had the habit of falling behind. Therefore, these calligraphy and painting works that have not been paid have been successively named by famous artists.

For example, many landscapes are crowned with "Fan Kuan" and "Guo Xi", the painting of horses is crowned with "Han Gan", and the female figure is named "Zhang Xuan" and "Zhou Fang", so many "Posts" are also named under the names of famous artists.

Because, if your painting doesn't have the name of a famous artist, it seems to have lost its value. The Pingfu Ti is not signed, but the inkblot as a Western Jin Dynasty is a relatively certain conclusion. Mr. Qi Gong once appraised: "The characters of the Ping Fu Ti are made of chapter grass, dot painting Qigu, and the Han and Jin Dynasties produced by the School of the West Province are simple, if they conform to the contract." It can be proved that it is beyond the ability of people after the Six Dynasties. ”

"Pingfu Ti" is the font of the transition from the Han Dynasty Zhangcao to the Jin Dynasty Jin Cao, which is difficult to understand in ancient Ao, coupled with the age of peeling, the handwriting is long, and it is difficult to identify. Mr. Qi Gong interpreted the Ping Fu Ti in the 1960s, and although there are different views in some places, it is now the most widely circulated interpretation.

Mr. Qi Gong based on the book "Quicksand Falling Jane", which had been published for ten years at that time, so this poem said: Ten years of proofreading through quicksand Jane.

The following is Mr. Qi Gong's explanation:

Yan Xian was devastated, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down, and I have been worried about more than this, which is already a celebration. The only man who undertakes it is fortunate to worry about the loss before the loss. Wu Zi Yang came to the Lord for the first time, and I could not finish it. When the west came back, the prestige was detailed. Actions into the view, the beauty of the body also. Before the thinking □, the momentum is constant, and it is appropriate to call it □. When Xia Borong was in turmoil, he did not know.

Manuscript of qigong's "Pingfu Post" interpretation

"Yan Xian was devastated, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down, and I have been worried about more than this, but this is already a celebration." The meaning of this sentence is probably to say: Yan Xian is sick and weak, and I am afraid it will be difficult to heal. When I first got sick, I didn't expect it to develop to such a serious effect later.

There is no objection to this interpretation, but here it refers to a person "Yan Xian". It is also because of this person's name that the "Ping Fu Ti" is related to The Landing Machine. Because Lu Ji has a good friend named "Yan Xian".

But what was more troublesome was that two of Lu Ji's close friends were called "Yan Xian", one was Gu Rong and Gu Yanxian; the other was He Xun and He Yanxian, both of whom were Wu Guoshi clans at that time. But what is more troublesome is that there may not be only these two "Yanxian", Mr. Xu Bangda believes that the "Yanxian" in the "Ping Fu Ti" may be another person named "Quan Yanxian".

In the "Selected Writings of Zhaoming", there are "Poems for Women's Gifts" written by Lu Ji and Lu Yun brothers for "Yan Xian", and Li Shanzhu pointed out that this "Yan Xian" was not Gu Yanxian, but Quan Yan Xian. Therefore, at this point, the three "Yan Xian" have made the clues of the "Ping Fu Ti" more complicated.

Mr. Qi Gong's view is that the thesis mentions that Yan Xian is seriously ill and physically weak, and this clue is similar to the physical weakness and illness of "He Yan Xian" described in the "Book of Jin - He Xun Biography", so it is natural to make people define this "Yan Xian" as He Xun.

Qi Gong Pro "Ping Fu Ti"

However, based on this little connection, it is still not so certain to define "Yan Xian" as "He Xun". In the 2006 journal "Chinese Calligraphy", some people proposed that in order to express the "glory of ancestors", many people would name "Yanxian", just like many people in our seventies would name "Jianguo" and "Jianjun".

From this point of view, it is really difficult to determine who the "Yan Xian" in the "Ping Fu Ti" is, so the truth of the author of the "Ping Fu Ti" will probably continue to be discussed. It's like the Da Vinci code, based on a little clue, to explore the distant truth.

But in any case, the preciousness of the Ping Fu Ti is unparalleled, and on this point, Mr. Qi Gong said: "Before the modern Han, Jin, and Warring States Jian Mu were excavated in large quantities, for hundreds of years, the most ancient thing that people could see was not the ink of the facsimile, only these nine lines. Today, looking at all the inkblots above the Western Jin Dynasty, only these nine elements are truly known to be from the hands of famous masters. ”

He read the "Qi Gong Treatise on Books and Poems" with Han Mo Jinxiang, and learned the calligraphy of Mr. Qi Gong at the same time, but also learned the ancient calligraphy culture.
