Chapter 1483 The Treasure of the Chinese Nation

Although Chen Wenzhe has not studied stone carving specifically, he has learned a lot of carving techniques indirectly.

He also knows a little bit from time to time. Even if he uses his master's carving skills to make stone carvings, it will take at least a week to chisel a stone tablet.

To make this kind of counterfeit, you need to cut the stone and chisel the inscription first.

Advance the preliminary work first. As for how to do the old work in the later stage, we can only think of other ways after doing the preliminary work well.

The imitation of inscriptions and stone inscriptions is not only based on carving techniques, but also calligraphy.

Therefore, this requires three key points, stone, calligraphy, and carving techniques.

Generally speaking, counterfeiting is a craft that requires precision.

To really start, it takes days or even months for the craftsmen to concentrate on it.

Generally, you will cut off all thoughts from the outside world, dive down and pour all your efforts into every single ax and chisel, in order to produce high-quality goods.

Stele engraving, in particular, is a skill that requires patience and meditation.

Exquisite stone inscription counterfeit, both technically and aesthetically, can be called ingenious workmanship.

Such a work, whether true or false, is a bit pleasing to watch.

And these stone tablets in front of him gave Chen Wenzhe the feeling that it was not simple.

Walking into this small isolation room, a 50-meter walk, there are hundreds of steles.

Large and small, complete and broken, all kinds of calligraphy characters are carved on stone tablets.

Suddenly, Chen Wenzhe felt like he was in a forest of steles.

Regardless of whether these steles are real or not, Li Tianqiang definitely did his best to get so many steles!

"This is the Monument of King Yu?"

Slowly, Chen Wenzhe walked up to a stone tablet.

This stele is very special, because Chen Wenzhe didn't recognize any of the handwriting on it.

There are very few stone steles that he can't even recognize a word, and the King Yu stele is the most famous among them.

The King Yu Stele is the oldest stone carving in my country, a treasure in the cultural relics world!

This is an unusual treasure, discovered in AD 1212.

That period was the Southern Song Dynasty. He Zhi, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, was visiting Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, and came across a woodcutter in the mountain.

The woodcutter saw that he was a man of culture, so he told him that there was a big rock not far in front of him, and there were many strange characters written on the stone, if you are interested, you can go and have a look.

Following the direction pointed by the woodcutter, He Zhi came to the bottom of the boulder, and when he saw this, he cried out excitedly.

This is the oldest stone inscription in my country that is only recorded in historical materials, the legendary King Yu Stele.

He Zhi hurriedly rubbed down the inscription, and when he passed Changsha, he engraved the inscription on the peak of Yuelu Mountain.

This is the stele of King Yu we saw today, not the rare stele of King Yu found in Mount Heng.

In the field of cultural relics protection, the Stele of King Yu, the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan are the three major treasures of the Chinese nation.

Since then, the real stele of King Yu has been nowhere to be found, and it has become an eternal mystery.

Chen Wenzhe looked at the stele of King Yu in front of him. If that piece of authenticity is not a mystery through the ages, wouldn't this piece from him also appear?

I saw that on this stele of King Yu, there are strange ancient seal characters engraved, which are divided into 9 lines, with a total of 77 characters.

The monument is 1.7 meters high and 1.4 meters wide.

The shape of the characters is like a tadpole, which is not only different from the oracle bone bell and tripod, but also different from the tadpole in the scriptures. It is difficult to distinguish in ancient times.

Legend has it that the inscription on this stele records and praises Dayu's great achievements in water control, and it is a monument of merit.

Dayu's son followed his father's ambition to control the water, and the good saying of "seven years of listening to music but not listening to it, and three times of leaving the house without entering the house" has been passed down to this day.

However, due to its long history, people believe that this is the writing of the Xia Dynasty, which is earlier than the bronze inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

This kind of writing gradually disappeared by the end of the Warring States Period.

After the Qin and Han writing reforms, the vast majority of literati could not read.

In addition, the content is in Southern Chu dialect, and there are many fake ones, making it even more difficult to identify.

Then for thousands of years, literati and inkmen have been trying to interpret this "Book of Heaven".

For example, Guo Lao, a famous historian and expert on oracle bone inscriptions, studied for three years and only knew three characters.

Except for the literati in the Southern Song Dynasty, no one else has seen the real stele of King Yu.

What we can see now was inscribed later, and now Chen Wenzhe can only identify this stele of King Yu based on that inscription.

Since it has been said that it is the stele of King Yu, the size and font should be fine.

There are 9 lines of inscriptions, 9 characters per line, 77 characters.

The font is tadpole script, that is, bird and insect calligraphy.

This is a peculiar ancient seal script, the shape of which is like a tadpole, which is not only different from the oracle bone bell, but also different from the tadpole in the Zhou script.

It is because of this strangeness that some people think that this is likely to be Xia Wen.

It is a pity that there are too few such writings found, and there is no relevant site to prove it.

Even He Zhi Shanzhai's inscription has been lost several times.

At that time, he placed it in Yuelu Mountain. It was not until the 12th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1533) that Pan Yi picked up the soil to get the stele, and then imitated it and popularized it in the world.

Scholars Yang Shen and Shen Yi of the Ming Dynasty have commented on it.

The inscription mainly records Dayu's achievements in water control. Nowadays, Chang'an Forest of Steles, Yuling, Fahua Mountain, Yellow Crane Tower and other places all use this stele as a model copycat.

Such a famous stele, and the fact that the real stele has disappeared without a trace, has become an eternal mystery.

So what will future generations do?Finding is certain, but re-engraving and counterfeiting are even more inevitable.

The stele of King Yu is in the midst of legends and engravings. 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 respected it, but even the modern people highly respected it.

Even in modern times, people have designated it as one of the three treasures of the Chinese nation.

Of course, there is a reason for all this.

The reason why the "Monument of King Yu" is so famous is obviously because of Dayu, who is too famous.

Its contribution to Chinese civilization is too great.

Just say a few words, you can get a glimpse of one or two.

For example, Dayu ruled the great flood in ancient times, demarcated Kyushu, created Jiuding and so on.

Obviously, the Chinese nation's respect for Dayu has reached a very high level.

Therefore, once there is an inscription, it is said that it is related to Dayu of the Xia Dynasty.

Then this inscription will definitely be highly respected by our countrymen of all dynasties and dynasties!

What's more, it is said that this inscription was erected by people to commemorate Dayu's water control.

And because of the erection of the stele, there was also an interesting incident of Dayu's humility.

Therefore, under the influence of various legends and mysterious factors, the matter of the "Monument of King Yu" has always attracted great attention to celebrities and literati of all dynasties.

In fact, although the "Monument of King Yu" is a treasure of the Chinese nation, its fate in history has been ill-fated.

Moreover, because there are too many mysteries on the "Monument of King Yu".

Therefore, the authenticity of the "Monument of King Yu" and the mystery of his life experience have always been widely discussed and concerned by people.

What needs to be explained is that no matter how many controversies there are on the "Monument of King Yu", some things are true, not falsehoods or legends.
