Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

In the courtyard of the youth hostel.

Jiang Zhe and several teachers sat under the awning.

There was a small table between the people, with a teapot, teacups, melon seeds and dried fruits on it.

While waiting for the staff from the cultural relics department, Jiang Zhe invited several teachers to sit down and chat.

There are stone tablets, rockery and fish pond in the courtyard, which creates a unique artistic conception.

The topics of conversation among the few people mostly revolved around the stone tablet, and occasionally they also talked about some daily matters.

Professor Ou heard that Teacher Ma had introduced Jiang Zhe's situation.

She studied calligraphy, epigraphy and seal carving, and had only heard of Jiang Zhe before. After learning through chatting that he also understood calligraphy and seal carving, and especially after hearing that he had called the Xiling Seal Society first, she became interested.

Professor Ou is also a member of the Xiling Seal Society. He knows that it is more difficult for a painter to join the Artists Association or for a calligrapher to join the Calligraphy Association.

He pretended to test Jiang Zhe casually and found that Jiang Zhe had not thought about asking for any reward, so he wondered if he could do something quietly to help Jiang Zhe get some benefits, such as whether he could get Xiling Seal Society to accept Jiang Zhe as a member?
Jiang Zhe is famous for his oil painting skills, which overshadows his fame in calligraphy and seal carving. But no matter what you are good at, fame is the key. After all, not all the presidents of Xiling Seal Society are good at seal carving.

Soon, three people walked into the courtyard.

Professor Ou turned around and said to Jiang Zhe and the others with a smile, "Here they are. Let me introduce them to you."

Jiang Zhe saw that the three people who walked into the courtyard were led by a skinny old man with short hair and some age spots on his face, followed by two middle-aged men.

As the three of them entered the courtyard, they ran towards Professor Ou.

The old man said to Professor Ou: "Professor Ou, thank you for providing us with the clues. Please introduce us to the gentleman who discovered the stone tablet."

Professor Ou introduced both parties.

The old man's name is Gu Zhenrui, and he is an expert in the cultural relics department. The other two also work in the cultural relics department.

The old man shook hands with Jiang Zhe. "Thank you, Jiang Zhe.

First of all, I want to say sorry to you.

You called us before, but after the message was transferred to me, I didn’t take it seriously enough. I’m very sorry.

We will definitely correct it in the future. Fortunately, you did not give up and found Professor Ou. Can we take a look at the things first? "

When he came in, he had already seen the stone tablet and had long wanted to take a closer look.

Seeing that the other party was speaking so sincerely, Jiang Zhe let go of his original complaints.

After obtaining consent, three people from the cultural relics department began the inspection.

They are more careful than Professor Ou's.

While they were busy, another man walked into the courtyard.

The man was slightly fat, wore black-rimmed glasses and had thinning hair.

He saw the busy courtyard, first glanced at the stone tablet, then greeted Professor Ou.

Professor Ou smiled and said to Jiang Zhe, "Teacher Ye from the Xiling Seal Society is here." She not only called the cultural relics department, but also contacted the Xiling Seal Society.

Because Professor Ou came forward, the Xiling Seal Society also sent people over.

"Teacher Ye is an expert in identification." Professor Ou introduced the two parties as usual.

Teacher Ye thanked Jiang Zhe with a smile on his face, and then went to identify the stone tablet.

The two appraisers exchanged brief greetings and then went about their business.

The old man was concentrating on the appraisal, but his assistant, after greeting Teacher Ye, thought for a moment and went out to make a phone call.

In the courtyard, many people were waiting for the results.

After a long time, Teacher Gu made some notes and walked towards Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe asked: "Teacher Gu, do you think these stone tablets are the works of Wu Yin?" Teacher Gu replied: "The stone tablets are very good, with exquisite carvings. In my personal judgment, they are the works of Wu Yin. I will report my opinion to my superiors. I just heard that you want to donate them to the cultural relics department, right?"

Jiang Zhe nodded.

Teacher Gu said, "Thank you very much for your trust. I have a few questions."

"You say."

Teacher Gu asked: "Can you tell me how you found the stele?"

Jiang Zhe briefly described his experience.

The old man thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Are there any similar stone tablets near the market?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I'm not sure, I just found it by accident."

"Why did you go to the textbook market to look for something? Do you have any clues?" the old man asked very skillfully.

Jiang Zhe knew about this matter and couldn't explain it too clearly. After all, the market was not a tourist attraction.

He could only say that his house needed decoration and he wanted to check out the prices of similar products in the Lin'an market, and he accidentally discovered the stone tablet.

Although this reason is far-fetched, no one can refute it.

After listening to this, Teacher Gu immediately reported to his superiors.

Jiang Zhe vaguely heard that after the old man reported, he applied to send people to search around the market.

At this time, Mr. Ye from Xiling Seal Society came over and shook hands with Jiang Zhe enthusiastically.

"Jiang Zhe, thank you very much for helping us find these stone tablets. Our seal company has written records of the stone tablets. I didn't expect that after so many years, we can still find the real thing."

At this time, Teacher Gu said, "Teacher Ye, Jiang Zhe said that he would donate it to our cultural department."

Teacher Ye kept smiling and continued to say to Jiang Zhe, "No matter what the final result is, these stone tablets are the works of the founder of our seal society. It is enough to be rediscovered. I will make a phone call and report to the seal society."

After that, he walked aside and made a phone call.

Jiang Zhe asked someone to bring another pot of tea and invited Teacher Gu and others to sit down and drink tea.

After a busy period, more and more people came to watch the fun.

Professor Ou asked: "You have seen the stone tablet. Can you tell us about its value? You are an expert in this area. Many people asked me this just now, but I didn't answer them well."

Teacher Gu smiled and replied, "You have already seen it, so why be modest? I dare to express my own opinion."

He looked around at the people around him and said: "Everyone here has copied inscriptions and learned traditional calligraphy.

The calligraphy with white characters on a black background actually comes from the ink rubbing of a stone tablet.

The ancients carved steles for commemoration.

To carve a stele, one first asks a calligrapher to write on the stele, and then a craftsman carves the words on the stele.

The lettering and the calligrapher's characters are the same size.

The value of Wu Yin's set of stone tablets lies in several characteristics.

First, the couplets developed during the Ming and Qing dynasties were engraved on stone tablets. Second, this is a compilation of the works of many calligraphers. Finally, Wu Yin also used the shrinking printing technique that had already appeared at that time.

We can see that the words on the stone tablet are smaller than the original calligraphy.

Whether this technology is conducive to the expression of calligraphy is still debatable, but integrating new technology into stele engraving is a kind of exploration. This set of steles is worth collecting. Unfortunately, no other steles were found. "

On the other hand, Mr. Ye from Xiling Seal Society was also reporting to his superiors and making suggestions, hoping to do his best to have the stone stele placed in the seal society for preservation and exhibition.

After finishing the call, he turned around and saw Professor Ou coming over, signaling that he wanted to talk alone. (End of this chapter)
