There are several pieces of Ji Xiaolan's Chuan inkstone, but it is the first time I heard that there is a poem inscribed by Cao Xueqin on the back. If the Chuan inkstone is genuine, the historical significance behind it will be completely different.
This provides historians with a new topic for research.
Ji Xiaolan and Cao Xueqin are both very famous. Once their research becomes famous, they can form a paper with novel arguments and high gold content.
"Come here, we're all here."
Li Mo hung up the phone. It seemed that the people playing mahjong were all history professors. It was quite pleasant to pass the time playing mahjong at home on a snowy day.
Halfway there, Li Mo frowned slightly. He vaguely felt that someone was following and monitoring him.
I was on the phone just now so I didn't notice it. Now the street outside was empty and silent, so I felt very strongly about being stared at.
He did not turn around to look, but naturally turned a corner into a commercial street and quickly entered a coffee shop on the street.
"Boss, bring me a cup of hot coffee and pack eight delicious snacks for me to take away."
After Li Mo finished explaining, he sat in a corner, where he could see the situation outside in all directions, but it was difficult to see what was going on in the coffee shop from outside.
It was freezing cold outside, the heater was on inside, and the glass had already been covered with a thick layer of fog.
Sure enough, not long after, a man wearing a black down jacket, a mask and a down hat appeared at the corner. The man looked around cautiously and found nothing unusual, but still did not turn onto the commercial street, but hid behind the wall. From time to time, I stretched my head to take a look.
Judging from the petite figure and the style of the down jacket, she must be a woman. Li Mo didn't move. After packing the snacks, he continued to sit there for more than ten minutes, while the woman also hid for more than ten minutes.
Now Li Mo was basically sure that someone was targeting him. The man with a disabled leg who appeared in the morning was most likely targeting him.
Is it Li Jiayu?
A person appeared in Li Mo's mind.
He is really a reckless guy who provokes himself again and again. Li Mo took out his mobile phone and sent a text message, then walked out of the coffee shop carrying snacks. The woman just stretched her head to take a look, then immediately turned around and walked forward.
Li Mo sneered in his heart. Now that everything has been exposed, let's act together to see whose acting skills are better.
He walked quickly and passed by the woman. Twenty minutes later, he entered Beijing University.
The four professors in Zhu Changping's family had long since given up on playing mahjong. After a while, Li Mo unexpectedly picked up a special Ji Xiaolan inkstone.
jingle……
Cai Cai trotted over and opened the door. When she saw Li Mo carrying many snacks, she said happily: "Brother Daxia, you are too polite."
"Professor Zhang, Professor Wu, Professor Wu, hello."
"Come on, come on, take out that piece of Ji Xiaolan's inkstone." Professor Wu studies history, and he can't wait the most.
Li Mo walked to the living room and put the box on the coffee table.
"Hainan huanghuali wooden box, this is also an old object from the Qing Dynasty."
Professor Zhu Changping made a conclusion by touching the texture on the surface of the box with his hands.
Li Mo opened the box and revealed the inkstone inside.
"Teacher, professors, please take a look."
None of the four professors took it out directly, but were studying the material of the inkstone and the poems and seals on the front.
"It's a Songhua stone inkstone. This material has been mined out long ago, so it's definitely not a modern product."
Professor Zhu Changping’s identification ability is still very strong.
Professor Wu was interested in the poems on the front. He read Du Fu's "Ascend the High" in a low voice and said pleasantly: "This is Ji Xiaolan's inscription style. He likes to shorten sentences and remove words, but it makes people read without feeling bitter and difficult to understand." , but it has another meaning.”
"Xiao Mo, show us the back of the inkstone."
Li Mo understood their concerns, so he nodded and took out the inkstone to show the inscribed poem on the back.
Wen Tianxiang's poems and Cao Xueqin's inscriptions.
"Professor Wu, there is a poem inscribed by Cao Xueqin on the back of Ji Xiaolan's inkstone. Please clarify."
This is the main purpose of Li Mo coming.
Professor Wu pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "The inkstone was made in the autumn of the 50th year of Qianlong's reign. During this period, three major events happened that affected Ji Xiaolan."
"First, the "Sikuquanshu", which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, was finally completed. Second, the candidates I admired were not recognized by other officials and had no say. Third, in April of the fiftieth year of Qianlong, Yuan Wai Lang Haisheng was beaten to death. In the case of his wife Wu Yashi, Ji Xiaolan, then the censor of Zuodu, was scolded by Qianlong for failing to investigate the case."
"There is a record in the history books that Ji Xiaolan, who was sent by him, was originally a useless and rotten scholar. There are not enough figures. Kuang Yi was not familiar with criminal matters...' and so on. From the above analysis, we can know that in the autumn of the fiftieth year of Qianlong's reign, , Ji Xiaolan's work in compiling "Sikuquanshu" can really be said to be "Hard work hates the frost on the temples". There is no credit for compiling "Sikuquanshu", but it is hard work. I was dismissed and I was in a bad mood. The first sentence 'The wind is howling loudly' can tell you how he was feeling at that time."
"And Cao Xueqin's inscribed poem on the back of the rumor, 'The ups and downs of life, the rain hits Ping', is also a portrayal of his mood at that time."
Everyone can deeply understand this.
This is a question raised by Professor Zhu Changping: "Professor Wu, is there any handwriting left by Cao Xueqin in history? Have you read similar documents? How can you determine that this is the authentic inscription of Cao Xueqin himself?"
"There are very few handwritings of Cao Xueqin discovered so far. According to the analysis by Ji Zhiyue of Tongji University, there are three pieces of 'Cao Xueqin's handwriting' handed down from generation to generation. I will look through the detailed information for detailed analysis."
"In fact, there is no mention of Ji Xiaolan and Cao Xueqin being acquainted in public written records. But they are indeed contemporaries. If this inkstone is confirmed to be passed down by Ji Xiaolan, it means that the two people not only know each other, but also know each other. And the relationship is great.”
"Since the relationship is so good, why has there never been any written record?" Professor Zhu also wanted to understand this matter.
Professor Wu continued: "During Ji Xiaolan's compilation of "Sikuquanshu", there were many literary inquisitions, because compiling "Sikuquanshu" was a matter of killing people, and the book "Dream of Red Mansions" was very controversial at the time. I guess it may be In order to protect herself, Ji Xiaolan rarely mentioned her familiar relationship with Cao Xueqin."
"But the inkstone not only reflects the close relationship between Ji Xiaolan and Cao Xueqin, but also reflects Ji Xiaolan's psychology of not wanting outsiders to know about his close relationship with Cao Xueqin. It also reflects that Ji Xiaolan is very familiar with Dream of Red Mansions."
There was too much information in it. Li Mo thought for a while before asking: "Professor Wu, are there any records on the surface? Are there any side records that can prove that the two of them may have known each other?"
Professor Wu fell into deep thought. About three minutes later, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "It's true. I once read an ancient book called "Sisongtang Collection". It was Ji Xiaolan who wrote the preface to this collection of poems. And this is The author of the collection of poems is called Duncheng, and the key is that Duncheng is also a good friend of Cao Xueqin. From this point of view, it can be inferred that Cao Xueqin and Ji Xiaolan actually have many intersections."
Without this little-noticed detail, historians would never have imagined that Cao Xueqin and Ji Xiaolan had such a close relationship in history.
"This is a new discovery and deserves our careful study."
"Xiao Mo, this inkstone passed down by Ji Xiaolan has an inscription poem by Cao Xueqin. Its historical and cultural value far exceeds other inkstones that have been handed down. It is rare."
Li Mo smiled and said, "I will keep this Chuanxi inkstone myself. Next year it will be put into the Gu Yunxuan Museum. Together with the Su Shi Tibetan inkstone, it will not look lonely."
He still has a Su Shi Tibetan inkstone in his hand. Professor Zhu is the only one here, and the other three professors look at each other. How many good things does he still have in his hand?
"Xiao Mo, where did you find this Ji Xiaolan inkstone?" Professor Wu asked curiously.
"It snowed heavily today and I was bored at home, so I went to Panjiayuan for a walk." Li Mo didn't need to hide it from a few of them. After all, they were all very familiar with each other. "To be honest, what I gained this morning was far beyond my imagination. A total of four good items were found. One is a bird and lotus pattern plate made in the Daoguang year of the Qing Dynasty. It has two small damages. I will ask a master to repair it later. The other is a high-quality folk kiln from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Plum vase from 'Jiwa Garden'."
"Shihu Garden?" Professor Wu interrupted him and asked hurriedly, "Is it the plum vase made by He Shen?"
"Exactly."
Professor Wu opened his mouth, feeling that what he wanted to say was very weak, and finally said: "After He Shen's house was confiscated by Emperor Jiaqing, I didn't expect that there would be a porcelain related to him handed down. It's so rare, so rare."
"However, the 'Jiwa Garden' plum vase has been restored, but I am still planning to put it into a collection and display it."
"Xiao Mo, please continue. Apart from the two remaining pieces, the Ji Xiaolan Chuan Inkstone inscribed by Cao Xueqin, what is the last one?"
Li Mo smiled, showing his white teeth and said: "Southern Song Dynasty official kiln celadon octagonal string arc bottle."
