Jianbao life

Chapter 449 Morning Market (Continued Part [-])
The so-called Song edition by the stall owner in front of him is indeed a bit too tattered, even the cover is gone. Therefore, we can only know what kind of book it is, or whether it is a real Song edition.

Chu Chen carefully flipped through the paper that seemed to be about to fall, but what left him quite speechless was that the handwriting on the first few sheets was already blurred due to the serious damp of the paper.However, judging from the paper of the book, it is very likely that it is indeed a Song block edition.

After finally turning to the place where the handwriting could be clearly seen, Chu Chen was even more speechless after looking at it, only to see that it said "Mr. Dacheng's name is Hao, his style name is Bochun, and he was awarded an official by Jinshi. Zheng Xiangong is Zhongcheng... ..." followed by "On the 21st year of Xingyang Gong, when the Minister was presenting to the Taixue, at Mr. Hu's seat...".

This is obviously "Children's Training"!

"Tongmengxun", also known as "Lv's Tongmengxun", consists of three volumes. It is a textbook for children's education written by Lu Benzhong in the Song Dynasty that focuses on moral education.In addition to the incidents and speeches of relevant figures extolling the strengths of their ancestors, this book also retains a lot of lost historical materials, so it is still of great research value.

Today's "Tong Meng Xun" originated from the printed edition in the second year of Shaoding in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is no longer the original appearance. The original way of being an official.

The original three-volume "Tongmengxun" would be very precious, but this "Tongmengxun" only has the first volume, and it is so dilapidated that one-third of the writing on the book is due to various reasons. I can't see it anymore. With this appearance, how can Chu Chen get interested?
So after Chu Chen read it, he shook his head and said, "Boss, although your "Tongmengxun" is indeed a Song edition, but I can't see clearly what I want to read on it, so..."

If it was really a good thing, the stall owner would have sent it to the auction for sale a long time ago, and he would not keep it until now. Therefore, he didn't feel any surprise when he saw Chu Chen's reaction, so he said to Chu Chen, "Then Look at other things!" After that, he carefully put away the book.

Chu Chen nodded, and was about to read other books, but was taken aback by the book under the "Tong Meng Xun" just now. This book is nothing else, it is "Zi Zi" that was lost before the Qin Dynasty. "Gong Yi Zhuan".

Although he knew that the book was definitely a fake, Chu Chen still picked up the book out of curiosity and prepared to open it to have a look.

However, what surprised Chu Chen was that this book was actually a handwritten copy. Judging from the handwriting, the person who copied it should be quite accomplished in calligraphy, and the paper of this book is still made of high-quality hemp paper. It has been weathered, and it looks quite old, and it is not at all like the fakes made now.

This made Chu Chen feel a little strange, so he quickly and quietly identified it carefully. Finally, judging from the writing method, ink and paper of the book, he felt that this "Zigong Yi Zhuan" should be copied in the late Ming Dynasty, while The year given by the ability is indeed the same. The specific year when the book was written should be the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

It was "Zigong Yi Zhuan" and it was the Jiajing period again, which immediately reminded him of a rather strange character at that time, Feng Daosheng.

Feng Daosheng, whose real name is Fengfang, was a calligrapher, seal carver, and bibliophile in the Ming Dynasty. He was cynical, informal, withdrawn, fond of collecting books, and owned the "Wanjuan Building".

In his collection of books, there are especially many manuscripts, which is already very powerful.However, like some calligraphers and painters of the previous generation, he was not greedy enough. He insisted on saying that he had no books to hide, no books to hide, and no books to read. Goods come out.

What made Lingfengfang "notorious" in the history of book collection is that he had forged many "ancient books".For example, "Zigong Yizhuan", "Zixia Shizhuan", "Shicheng" of Jin Dynasty, "杌" of Chu, which were lost before the Qin Dynasty, as well as "Hetu" stone book, "Lu Poetry" stone book, "University" Ishimoto.

When others asked him the origin of these books, Fengfang lied that his ancestor Qing Mingong got them from the secret mansion during the Northern Song Dynasty.In addition, there are Korean "Shangshu" and Japanese "Shangshu", which lie that their great-grandfather Fengqing got it from the post house.As a result, Quan Zuwang, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, ridiculed him in "Tianyige Tibetan Secretary" as "making fun of scholars and deceiving future scholars".

In his later years, Fengfang was even more active in "counterfeiting", but maybe the forgery was so fake that God couldn't stand it. As a result, "Late Heart Disease" fell into poverty and died of illness.

Unfortunately, due to his personality, Fengfang didn't know how to educate his children, and he didn't know how to manage money. In addition, his descendants didn't cherish books, so that the engraved editions and manuscripts of Song Dynasty in the "Wanjuanlou" collection were rejected by him. Six out of ten were stolen by the disciples, and later unfortunately encountered a fire, so that in the end there were very few good copies left.

Fengfang used to have a deep relationship with Fan Qin, the owner of "Tianyi Pavilion". In the early days, Fan Qin copied books from Wanjuanlou, and Fengfang also wrote "Tibetan Secretary" for Fan Qin. All the books were sold to "Tianyi Pavilion", which made these remaining collections protected by "Tianyi Pavilion" and passed on to future generations.

Speaking of this, I think everyone should understand that the "Zigong Yi Zhuan" in Chu Chen's hands was "falsified" by Fengfang back then, and the reason why it is so well preserved, needless to say, this book must be One of the many books stolen by Fengfang disciples.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help shaking his head and laughing secretly. This book is indeed valuable, but it is impossible to say that it is very valuable. After all, it is just an ancient pre-Qin book carefully "forged" by Fengfang. If it is true The content of "Zigong Yi Zhuan" is invaluable.

However, there is a saying that rare things are valuable. Although this "Zigong Yi Zhuan" has little research value, it was forged carefully by Fengfang after all. As far as antiques are concerned, it is still a very good thing, so Chu Chen I plan to ask the stall owner the price of this "Zigong Yi Zhuan".

But at this moment, Chu Chen discovered that there were six books in the original place of "Zigong Yi Zhuan", and the first book was "Book of Filial Piety", which made him both surprised and excited. It is different from "Zigong Yi Zhuan", but it is an authentic collection of books in Fengfang.

So he quickly picked up the "Book of Filial Piety", but he was surprised to find that the book below was actually "Jin Jiang Ji".

"Jin Jiang Ji" consists of five volumes. The author is Xue Tao, a famous poetess in the Tang Dynasty. She was able to write poems at the age of eight or nine.Later settled in Huanhuaxi.He knows the rhythm of music, works in poetry, and created "Xue Taojian".

It is said that there are more than [-] poems in "Jinjiang Collection", but unfortunately this set of books has not been handed down.The volume of "Xue Tao Poetry" handed down by later generations was pieced together from "Ten Thousand Tang Quatrains" and other anthologies.

According to Fengfang's temperament, Chu Chen immediately judged that this set of "Jinjiang Collection" must have been forged by Fengfang, so he ignored it and opened the "Book of Filial Piety" to read it.

This "Book of Filial Piety" is also a handwritten copy, and it is also made of high-quality hemp paper, and the handwriting is not much different, but the content surprised Chu Chen a little.

The legend of "Book of Filial Piety" was written by Confucius himself. This book focuses on filial piety and expounds Confucian ethics in a relatively concentrated manner.This book had a great influence in ancient my country, and all the dynasties of all dynasties advertised "governing the world with filial piety". Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty personally wrote notes for "Book of Filial Piety".

This book is divided into two volumes, ancient and modern, the modern text is annotated by Zheng Xuan, and the ancient text is annotated by Kong Anguo.Since Tang Xuanzong's annotations were published in the world, the two annotations of Kong and Zheng were invalidated.The Book of Filial Piety in Chu Chen's hand is the version annotated by Kong Anguo.

Perhaps some friends will say, since Fengfang likes to fake so much, could this "Book of Filial Piety" annotated by Kong Anguo be forged by Fengfang?

This point has actually been proved by Chu Chen with his ability. If it is really forged, then its value cannot be as high as that given by the ability, and even if the ability is not mentioned, the meaning expressed between the lines in the book It can also be seen that this must have been commented by Kong Anguo.

If it was really forged by Fengfang, then with his literary accomplishment shown in this book, he can become a great Confucian of a generation, so how could he end his life in poverty?
"Hey, what a surprise, what a surprise!"

With such a precious book, Chu Chen guessed that the stall owner must have not read the book carefully, and he certainly did not expect that these books were copied by Fengfang, otherwise the stall owner would not have put the book here so casually. up.

Although Chu Chen really wanted to read the "Book of Filial Piety" before talking about it, but it aroused the suspicion of the stall owner, and he didn't dare to read more, so he pretended to flip through the book casually, and put the book on the spot just now. Together with this "Zigong Yi Zhuan".

Next, Chu Chen turned his attention to the remaining five volumes of "Jinjiang Collection". Since they were also forged by Fengfang, they must be put away, so he casually picked up the volumes and flipped through them. After looking at it for a while, he was shocked enough to see it.

All this is because of the poems in it. Chu Chen has never seen it in the current materials. If he has never seen it, it may be forged by Fengfang, but the poems in it are completely interpreted from a female perspective, and the words used It is quite exquisite, and the style of the poem is exactly the same as Xue Tao's. It is impossible for Fengfang to imitate it.

As mentioned above, if Fengfang really has such literary accomplishment, then in addition to the calligrapher, seal carver, and bibliophile mentioned just now, he will definitely have the aura of a famous poet in the Ming Dynasty.

That is to say, these five volumes of "Jinjiang Collection" should be the same as that volume of "Book of Filial Piety", they are all genuine!

Thinking of this, Chu Chen hurriedly flipped through the remaining four books pretending to be casual, and the result also proved his judgment. Those hundreds of poems all seemed to show a very profound literary accomplishment. , and the style is exactly the same as Xue Tao's poems.

In the end, Chu Chen used the supernatural power in disbelief, and it also gave an exciting result.
