The calligraphy and paintings that have been passed down from ancient times can last for thousands of years, and are very rare. Because before the Tang Dynasty, the papermaking technology was not good and could not meet the standard of thousand-year-old paper.

As for silk fabrics such as silk, they can theoretically be preserved for thousands of years. The problem is that it is difficult for such silk fabrics to be preserved intact under the destruction of time.

What's more, there is an oxidation reaction, which is a killer of cultural relics.

This is why, when people look at cultural relics from thousands of years ago, they always think that those things are not beautiful at all. Why did the ancients like them?

After all, it is that the new energy has passed, it is oxidized, and the things have deteriorated.

You should know that beauty has commonalities. Don’t doubt the aesthetic views of the ancients. Modern people think that beautiful things are definitely not ugly.

vice versa.

If you think cultural relics are ugly, don’t look at the earthen objects, but look at the replicas, you will feel beautiful.

However, the cruelest thing in the world is that some things have been completely lost, and everyone can only see records of words in the literature.

What it looks like is that everyone can only restore it through their own imagination, but without any real comparison, no one knows whether the restored thing is an item recorded in the literature.

The Five Holy Dynasty Yuan Picture and the Chaoyuan Immortal Staff Picture, that's it.

It is basically recorded in historical materials. Even if some copying scrolls are circulated, due to the poor quality of the scrolls, no one dares to draw conclusions hastily.

Finally, with the ironclad evidence of the inscription, everyone knew that the murals in the temple were the original works of Wu Daozi. However, a questioning voice ruined everyone's excitement.

Can murals last for thousands of years and be immortal?

Hanging.

So some people suspect that the broken murals are no longer original paintings, but are imitated by later generations in a certain era after the Tang Dynasty.

If the original painting is gone, imitating another painting is a natural operation.

"Let's go, take a look at the real thing." Yu Hao suggested.

The group followed and walked to the wall and carefully looked at the mottled traces. The walls fell off and the walls were cracked, like spider webs. The faint ink marks and the colorful pigments were distributed sporadically.

The whole mural is not one in one, but there are many vacant things, which are vague and difficult to look. Fortunately, some of the characters are relatively complete, and even guessing and confusing can make up for specific images.

After looking at it for a while, Fan Ji'an whispered: "It's really hard to judge whether it is Wu Daozi's original work. However, the lines and brushwork are very smooth, which means that the person who paints must be a master. Maybe he will make up for the pen based on the original painting..."

"Um……"

The others nodded slightly, feeling that there was some truth.

In the process of restoring traditional ancient calligraphy and painting, although it is not the norm, it is also an indispensable link.

The specific operation is quite complicated and the process flow is quite many.

Relatively speaking, it is relatively simple to follow and make up the pen on the mural. It is to find a master who is very good at writing and can imitate Wu Daozi, and re-outline the lines and fill in the colors on the incomplete original works.

The new three years, the old three years, and the sewing and repairing three more years. With this method of starting a pen, perhaps the murals can really last for thousands of years.

Of course, this is just a guess. Whether it is true or not needs to be studied.

After watching the group, he felt really unsure. Unpredictable, Yu Hao turned around and said, "Bai Ye, what do you think?"

"Well……"

Everyone was stunned, and then turned around and looked at Bai Ye, with their eyes flashing. They suddenly thought that Bai Ye must be the "first person" who discovered the mural.

I thought of the wonderful murals in the Hangzhou Temple.

From this, it can be reasonably inferred that Bai Ye must have studied it for a long time after discovering the broken murals of Laojun Temple, and perhaps for several years.

This is where he has his own mural works with vivid aura and elegant elegance. Everyone firmly believes that other things can be false, but the works cannot deceive people.

After so long research, it will definitely be rewarding. After all, Bai Ye's skill in scribing has been immersed in many years. This is accumulated and cannot be achieved overnight.

“…”

Everyone's eyes gathered, and Bai Ye felt a little depressed. Why did he go around in circles and go back? Can he say that he had never been to this dilapidated temple before?

The lies you tell will be fulfilled even if you have tears in your eyes.

At that moment, Bai Ye pondered, his eyes fell on the mural, and after scanning it several times, he slowly said: "I think this should be the original. Even if it is not the original, it is the original painting that Wu Zongyuan personally took and completed..."

"Where is the evidence?"

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes showing surprise. They felt that Bai Ye's tone was too sure. Could it be that there was really any clue?

Thinking of this, everyone is inevitably looking forward to it.

After all, everyone hopes that this is the relic of Wu Daozi's handwritten relic. After all, the works of the saint of painting have basically disappeared. Everyone only heard of its name and has never seen the real thing.

If it could be proved, this was the work of the Painting Saint, which would definitely cause a sensation in the world. At that time, as the diggers, they were honored.

"It's evidence."

Bai Ye really couldn't take it out, but he would analyze: "These five holy pictures are painted on the east and west walls of the temple. The east wall is painted on the east wall, the south pole Emperor, the Fusang Emperor and his subordinates. The west wall is painted on the west wall, the north tale Emperor and his subordinates."

"Through the inscription, everyone knows that these five saints are actually the Five Emperors. Why did Emperor Xuanzong of Tang paint the holy images of five ancestors in Taiwei Palace?"

Bai Ye Wei said: "I think it should be to respond to Taiwei Palace in the sky. Taiwei Palace in the Big Dipper in the sky. Huangdi sat on one star, and in Taiwei Palace, it contains the god of the hub. Four stars were placed on Huangdi, the god of the Cang Emperor's spiritual power in the east, the god of the red emperor in the south, the god of the white emperor in the west, and the god of Ye Guangji in the north. The five emperors were set up to worship Taishang Laojun."

"This is inconsistent with Li Tang's meaning of respecting Lao Tzu as his ancestor."

Bai Ye said slowly: "Although there is nothing in this Laojun Temple. But I have learned some things from other Taoist palaces."

"Some of the great Taoist temples in the Tang Dynasty must have statues. Among them, Lao Tzu is the most respected, and Taoist sages such as Zhuangzi, Liezi, Wenzi, and Gengsangzi were on both sides, and Confucius also included, who also stood aside. To put it bluntly, it was to enhance the status of Taoism and lay the foundation for Taoism in the Li Tang Dynasty..."

"We all know what you said."

Yu Hao frowned: "What is the connection between these and evidence, clues, and?"

"If you are connected, I emphasize the importance of Taoism to the Li Tang royal family."

Bai Ye's eyes were filled with a wise light: "As long as the Tang Dynasty did not perish, this Taoist palace will definitely be valued and will not be easily destroyed. Do you agree with this view?"

Yu Hao thought for a while, nodded slightly and said, "At least before the end of the Tang Dynasty, the maintenance of the Taoist Palace will definitely not be negligent."

"good."
