Sing the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, my music can come true

Chapter 242 "Orchid Pavilion Preface"
Zhiyong became a monk when he was young, and he loved calligraphy very much. He admired the calligraphy of his ancestors Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi very much, and determined to reproduce the brilliance of ancestral calligraphy.

He practiced calligraphy very hard. When he was in Yongxin Temple, he built a small building just for practicing calligraphy and vowed that "if he can't succeed in calligraphy, he will not go down to this building."

In this deserted small building, Zhiyong wrote like a charm.

After 30 years of hard work, Zhiyong's calligraphy has become more and more famous. "True Book Thousand Character Essay" is Zhiyong's representative work and has been highly praised by generations.

When Zhiyong was a hundred years old, before his death, he passed the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" to his disciple, monk Biancai.

Monk Biancai also studied calligraphy very well. He knew the value of "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

So he hid it in a specially dug hole in the beam of the bedroom.

When Li Shimin heard that the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" was in Monk Biancai's place, he was very excited.

I sent people to ask for it many times.

Monk Ke Jicai always claimed that he did not know the whereabouts of the original work.

Li Shimin saw that force would not work, so he had to resort to outsmarting him.

At that time, Li Shimin sent Xiao Yi, the supervisory censor, to dress up as a scholar and get close to Bancai, looking for an opportunity to obtain the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

Xiao Yi also studied calligraphy quite a lot, and had a great conversation with Monk Biancai.

After the relationship between the two became closer, Xiao Yi deliberately took out some of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works for Monk Bancai to appreciate.

After reading it, Biancai said disapprovingly: "It's true, but it's not good. I have an authentic copy. That is Wang Xizhi's real treasure passed down from generation to generation."

Xiao Yi asked calmly what the post was, and after hesitating over and over again, he mysteriously told him that it was the authentic work of "Lanting Collection Preface".

Xiao Yi didn't believe his old words, saying that this post had been lost a long time ago, how could it be here with you?
Biancai saw that he was very suspicious. On a whim, he took out the original Lanting painting from the roof beam cave and showed it to Xiao Yi for appreciation.

Xiao Yi inspected it carefully and found out that it was an authentic work.

His expression changed, and he quickly put it into his sleeve, and at the same time showed Taizong's "Edict" to Bencai.

Only then did Biancai realize that he had been deceived, but it was too late to regret it.

As a result, this famous calligraphy passed down from generation to generation finally came into the hands of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was extremely happy when he got what he had dreamed of.

The imperial edict ordered Zhao Mo, Han Daozheng, Feng Chengsu, and Zhuge Zhen, the calligraphers who served in the palace, to make several copies each and give them to the crown prince, princes, and ministers.

In addition, there are also famous artists such as Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, and Yu Shinan who have handed down this edition.

After the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the original copy of "Lanting Preface" disappeared from the world.

Only copies from the Tang Dynasty have survived to this day.

Many historians have inferred from this that Li Shimin attached the handed down books that he regarded as treasures during his lifetime as funerary objects and buried them together in the Zhaoling Mausoleum.

However, during the Five Dynasties period, Wen Tao, the governor of Yaozhou, stole Li Shimin's Zhaoling.

This is recorded in "New History of the Five Dynasties - Biography of Wen Tao":

It says this: "The Zhaoling Mausoleum is the most solid. Tao walked down the road... Inside the stone letter on the bed is an iron box, which contains all the books of previous lives, including the handwriting of Zhong and Wang. The paper and ink are as new as new. Tao took them out and passed them on to the world." .”

The Zhong and Wang mentioned here refer to the paper and ink handwriting of Zhong Yao and Wang Xizhi, which are well preserved in Li Shimin's tomb.

Wen Tao took away all these calligraphy and paintings.

However, there is no "Lanting Preface" in Wen Tao's list of Zhaoling items.

There is no record of "Lanting Preface" in history since then.

"Lanting Preface" seems to have disappeared out of thin air from Chinese history.

There is a theory that Wen Tao deliberately destroyed the "Lanting Preface" after stealing the Zhaoling Mausoleum to avoid causing disaster.

Another thing is that it is written in the last subtitle of the MV of "Lanting Preface". It is in the Qianling Mausoleum where Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong are buried together, and it has not yet been dug out——

But this possibility is actually very small.

Although mainstream academia does not want to admit this.

But most historians already knew that the "Lanting Preface" had probably been destroyed.

Disappeared in the long river of history.

Just like the jade seal passed down from the country, it is impossible to see the light of day again.

Jingshan doesn't know calligraphy.

But he really wanted to know where the "Lanting Preface" was and what the original "Lanting Preface" looked like.

At this time, I sang Jay Chou's "Lanting Preface".

Heat waves rolled over Jing Shan's body.

Self-expectation has been pushed to its peak.

He asked himself whether he had done a perfect job in this challenge.

Anyway, he couldn't find any flaws himself.It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a perfect fireworks display.

He really wanted to see the golden fireworks in full bloom.

So while waiting for the system to open the score, his heart was in his throat.

Hold your breath completely and don't dare to let go.

At this time, you will see the system interface——

【boom! 】

The long-lost golden fireworks appeared!

【100 points! 】

The system scored full marks again!
"what!"

Jingshan couldn't hide his excitement and shouted.

He almost called the caregivers from outside into his room.

The sense of accomplishment of singing "Lanting Preface" to a great extent should be second only to singing the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that he wanted most.

Jingshan's excitement at this time is difficult to describe in words.

His whole body felt hot, and it felt like his stomach was going to be burned through.

Just waiting to see if the system will reward him with the authentic copy of "Lanting Preface".

Soon, the system printed congratulatory subtitles:

[Congratulations to the host, successfully unlocked the song "Orchid Pavilion Preface"! 】

[Reward an authentic copy of "The Preface to the Lanting Collection". 】

"Wow!"

As if struck by lightning of happiness, Jingshan screamed like a psycho again!

The system really rewarded him with "Lanting Preface"!

And it’s marked as authentic!

It’s an authentic work!

Jingshan was so excited that he almost held his head in his hands.

He wanted to pretend to be calm, as if he didn't care.

But I can't calm down at all!
This is the authentic copy of "Lanting Preface"!
Over the past 1000 years, there is no one handed down treasure of calligraphy and painting that Chinese people most want to see!

You can immediately see the true face of this handed down treasure from Mount Lu.

Jingshan was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and his body began to swing uncontrollably.

In order to calm himself down, Jing Shan had to sit on the bed.

As a result, as soon as the butt touched the bed——

Just listen to "Zi La".

He seemed to be sitting on some kind of paper.

Jingshan's heart was shocked.

He jumped out of bed as if he was electrocuted.

Turn around and take a look.

A snow-white book sticker appeared out of thin air on his bed!

Placed horizontally, it is about half a meter long horizontally and more than [-] centimeters vertically wide.

There are many cursive calligraphy characters on it that are slightly larger than a fingernail.

It seemed like the calligraphy had just been written, and the ink hadn't even dried.

Jingshan sat down so hard that the words in the middle of the copybook were blurred.

Jingshan pouted and looked back at the back of his pants. As expected, there was a lot of ink on his butt.

Jingshan was a little panicked by this scene.

Could it be that……

Is this calligraphy painting freshly baked in front of him, which he had smashed into obscurity, the original of "Lanting Preface"?

The system went back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty through the time channel and sent him the authentic manuscript that Wang Xizhi had just written?
