Chapter 1,483 The Treasure of the Chinese Nation
Although Chen Wenzhe has not specially studied stone carvings, he has indirectly learned a lot of carving techniques.
He always knew something. Even if he used his master's carving skills to make stone carvings, it would take at least one week to chisel a stone tablet.
To make this kind of fake, you need to cut the stone and chisel the inscription first.
We should first promote the preliminary work. As for how to make old things in the later stage, we can only think of another way after doing the preliminary work well.
Imitation of stele carvings and stone carvings, not only the carving techniques, but also calligraphy.
Therefore, this requires three key points: stone, calligraphy, and carving techniques.
Generally speaking, fraud is a skill that requires no mistakes.
To really start, craftsmen need to focus on days or even months.
Generally, you will cut off all thoughts from the outside world and devote all your efforts to axe and chisel to produce fine products.
Especially inscribed inscriptions, it is a skill that requires patience and meditation.
The exquisite stone carving fakes are all ingenious in terms of technology and aesthetics.
Such works, whether true or false, look a bit pleasing to the eye.
And the stone tablets in front of you give Chen Wenzhe a very difficult feeling.
Walking into this small isolation room, forty or fifty meters, there were stele-six hundred steles.
All large and small, complete, broken, and various calligraphy fonts are carved on the stone tablets.
In a daze, Chen Wenzhe actually felt like he was in the stele forest.
No matter whether these stone tablets are true or false, Li Tianqiang has definitely done his best and done his best!
"Is this the Yu King Monument?"
Slowly, Chen Wenzhe walked to a stone tablet.
This stone tablet is very special, because Chen Wenzhe didn't even recognize any of the handwritings on it.
There are very few stone tablets that can make him unable to recognize a single word, and among them, the Yuwang Monument is the most famous.
The Yuwang Monument is the oldest stone carving in our country and a treasure in the cultural relics world!
This is an unusual treasure, discovered in 1212 AD.
That period was the Southern Song Dynasty. He Zhi, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, visited Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, and met a woodcutter in the mountains.
The woodcutter saw that he was a cultural person, so he told him that there was a big stone not far ahead, with many strange words written on it. If you are interested, you can go and take a look.
He Zhi followed the direction guided by the woodcutter and came under the big stone. He screamed excitedly when he saw this.
This is the legendary oldest stone carving in our country, the Yuwang Monument, which is recorded only in historical materials.
He Zhi quickly dug the inscription, and when he passed by Changsha, he engraved the inscription on the peak of Yuelu Mountain.
This is the stele of the King of Yu we see today, not the treasured King of Yu that was found in Hengshan.
In the cultural relics protection world, the Yu King Monument, the Huang Emperor Mausoleum and the Yan Emperor Mausoleum are the three major treasures of the Chinese nation.
The real Yuwang Monument has never been found since then and has become an eternal mystery.
Chen Wenzhe looked at the Yuwang Monument in front of him. If that genuine piece cannot be a mystery for the ages, wouldn’t this piece here appear?
I saw that there was a unique ancient seal script engraved on this Yuwang Monument, with 9 lines and a total of 77 characters.
The stele is 1.7 meters high and 1.4 meters wide.
The characters are like tadpoles, which are different from oracle bone bells and tripods, and are also different from Zhuwen tadpoles. They are difficult to distinguish between ancient and ancient times.
Legend has it that the inscription of this stele describes and praises Dayu's great achievements in controlling the flood, and is a merit monument.
The story of "I heard about the stepfather of the Dayu son, who was determined to control the flood, "I didn't listen to it for seven years, and I didn't go in the house three times" has been passed down to this day.
However, due to its age, people believe that this is the writing of the Xia Dynasty, which was earlier than the bronze inscriptions of Shang and Zhou dynasties.
This kind of writing gradually disappeared by the end of the Warring States Period.
After the reform of Qin and Han Script, most literati were unable to read it.
In addition, the content is in the Southern Chu dialect, and it is mostly fake, making it even harder to identify.
Then for thousands of years, literati and poets have been trying to interpret this "Heavenly Book".
For example, Mr. Guo, a famous historian and oracle bone expert, has only known three words for three years.
The authentic Yuwang Monument has never seen it except for the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty.
What we can see now is the carvings that were carved later, and now Chen Wenzhe can only identify this Yuwang Monument based on the carvings.
Since it has been said to be the Yuwang Monument, the size and font should be fine.
There are 9 lines of inscriptions, each line of 9 characters and 77 characters, all of which are correct, and at the end there is the "Yudi Yu system" in regular script.
The font is tadpole writing, that is, birds and insects writing seal script.
This is a strange ancient seal script, with the characters shaped like tadpoles, which are different from oracle bone bells and tripods, and from Zhuwen tadpoles.
It is because of this strange that some people think that this is probably Xia Wen.
Unfortunately, there are too few words found, and there are no relevant ruins to prove it.
Even the monument carved by He Zhi Village has been lost several times.
He placed it on Yuelu Mountain. It was not until the 12th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1533) that Pan Yi picked up the earth and obtained the stele, and then copied it and copied it and became popular in the world.
Ming Dynasty scholars Yang Shen, Chen Yi and others all explained the texts.
The inscription mainly records Dayu's achievements in controlling the flood. Nowadays, the Chang'an Monument Forest, Yuling, Fahua Mountain, Huanghe Tower and other places are based on this monument as a copycat.
Such a famous stone tablet, and the real stone tablet has disappeared without a trace, has become a mystery for the ages.
So what will people in the future do? Searching is certain, but reprinting and fraud are inevitable.
The Yuwang Monument is between legends and retelling. Its authenticity and life experience have gradually turned into a cultural mystery!
Because it is so famous in the history of Chinese civilization, not only the ancients highly praised it, but also modern people also highly praised it.
Even in contemporary times, people have designated it as one of the three major treasures of the Chinese nation.
Of course, there is a reason for this.
The reason why the "Yu King Stele" is so famous is obviously because Dayu is too famous.
Its contribution to Chinese civilization is too great.
Just a few words can be seen.
For example, Dayu governed the ancient flood, demarcated the Jiuzhou, created the Nine Cauldrons, etc.
It is obvious that the Chinese nation's respect for Dayu has reached an extremely high level.
Therefore, once there is an inscription, it is said to be related to Dayu of the Xia Dynasty.
Then this inscription will definitely be highly praised by our people from all dynasties!
What's more, it is said that this inscription was erected to commemorate Dayu's flood control.
Moreover, because of the monument erecting, there were interesting stories about Dayu's humility.
Wherever, under the influence of various legends and mysterious factors, the "Yuwang Monument" incident can always have a huge attraction to celebrities and literati from all dynasties.
[To be honest, I have been using Wild Fruit to read books and follow updates recently, changing sources and switching, and pronunciation aloud. Yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are available.]
In fact, although the "Yuwang Monument" is a treasure of the Chinese nation, its fate in history has been in a tragic way.
Moreover, because there are too many mysteries on the "Yuwang Monument".
Therefore, the authenticity of the "Yuwang Monument" and the mystery of its life experience have always been widely discussed and paid attention to.
It should be noted that no matter how much controversy is there on the "Yuwang Monument", some things are real, not false or legendary.
