Chapter VII of the original ancient book - Forest of Stone Tablets
Beilin Museum was originally the Confucian temple, that is, imperial times to comply with the Chinese people worship saints - Mr. Kong Qiu place. Of course, when the Temple of Confucius is not only for worship, because printing is not yet universal, reading books that people only rely on private copies of or engraving, the former copied to the paper with a brush, which put the words carved on the bamboo. Because of this way of private copies, often occur word or typo leak case, in order to facilitate the study were revised, then the most basic Guanfu to read the article in the master carved on the stone tablet, so that people carry out correction, this is the Forest of Stone Tablets of the embryo, Humphreys said the ancient original stacks!
Forest of Stone Tablets in Xi'an three walls inside the South Street school was built in AD 1087, the Northern Song era, its initial purpose is to preserve the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan engraved the "Shitai Book of Filial Piety", "13 through" and built. Because Xi'an is the capital of China since ancient times, after the development through the ages, Forest of Stone Tablets Lane stele increases, its size is also gradually expanding. Beilin's holdings now have as many as 2,300 pieces, from the Han dynasty, down to the Qing Dynasty, both the original ancient stacks, are rare moments of libraries!
The original ancient book, all from famous pen, Yen Chen-ching's "Yan's Family Temple Stele," Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface quote Stele", there are regular script we Liu Gongquan the "occult tower monument," "Back to the Clock Tower and the concept of yuan Xu Stele ", etc. Unfortunately, I do not calligraphy everyone, to the Forest of Stone Tablets is not the study of calligraphy has come just to find a few deceased celebrities, to see if they personally are writing the book, Tso is one, although I have hate him in the late Qing to help Tseng Kuo-fan, "exterminate" the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but the Wei Ren upright, relax, and watch his "Heaven and Earth righteousness Stele", though put pen to paper at random, but emotional phenomena are filled with pride and aspirations as the days build to come shop. Unfortunately, a rubbing should be on the hundred dollars, this is not an ordinary student can cope with the of the!
In addition to Tso, there is a part of China's anti-drug originator of Lin Tse-hsu, a child is in "Opium War" in the know that he the noble spirit of loving the people as children, but his concern for the fate ultimately the spirit of not being accepted by the Emperor Tao-kuang, be demoted to Xinjiang, Forest of Stone Tablets in the "Tour Huashan Shi Stele" is a book when he was passing by Mountain. His calligraphy was significantly higher than Tso, put pen to paper neat powerful, radius both, even if the case was demoted foreign land can also, worthy of our nation's heroes are!
One is the phase again Qin Li Si's seal character, he is the representative of one of the Legalist. Reese in his "Admonition Zhuke book" in the ancient theory of the present, with personnel, food and ornamental products as a warning, to persuade the emperor Zhu Ke order to recover, but also indirectly convince the emperor to adopt Legalist thought, laid the state of Qin swept six States, the basis for the unification of China. After the reunification of China, Li Si was entrusted with the reform of the writing, the Chinese text was finally unified, and their descendants to this feature often attributed to the emperor, but in reality is the credit for Li Si! Li Si calligraphy collection in the Forest of Stone Tablets are not "admonish Zhuke book", but "yi shan Stele," Ci Bei Song Department of imitation engraving, though not Qin thing, but it is rare Li Si calligraphy.
Made Zhao Qing look at the "Stele Kuixing point of the Big Dipper," "a tiger Stele", "Jiazi Shigehisa Stele", do not know calligraphy friends, it should be a few pieces of stone would be more interested in it. From the intuitive point of view, feel this is in fact a painting a few pieces of stone, the only way to explain people show in the next, will see through these mysteries. "Kuixing point fighting Stele" from its name implies, "Kuixing point fighting champion" and saying a word Ao Kuixing standing on top of hand-held brush, picked his side's "struggle" is used. "A tiger Stele" is down only a method to complete an image of the "tiger" is used. "Jiazi Shigehisa Stele" is combined with 99 and twenty-Cou made of. The former, however, really a little bit worthy of the name, then perhaps the two authors in the creative arts, is too high, ordinary ideas alone do not necessarily see that.
Into the Forest of Stone Tablets compartment, there is a "Nestorian Stele," Department of the Tang Dynasty Lvxiu rock work, described the Nestorian doctrine, doctrine and the prevailing situation in the spread of Nestorianism in China, what kind of people who rock Lvxiu Let us put aside, ran this wipe body of the monument is a book, a strong light strokes, and Liu Gongquan of calligraphy are also compared favorably. The amazing thing is Cibei also used to write Syriac, a Sino-foreign cultural exchanges, the best voice, but also the best starting point for the Silk Road to testify.
Forest of Stone Tablets of the west side is a stone art gallery, where display of the famous "six-chun Tang," relief stone carvings, Datang 6 Chun fighting north and south is the year when Emperor Taizong of the six fine horses, ride. Emperor Taizong of these fine horses were killed in the battle, in a vivid demonstration of relief horse's posture, character, or the war to the body mid-stream arrows, or gallop battlefield scenarios. Each picture is trying to give people an expression of a soul-stirring story.
Forest of Stone Tablets of the line, but too hastily, though not the taste, such as chewing wax, but the cursory look too fancy to hallway hall, harvest limited. Art conservation may be superficial (or should say not!), I felt all of those renowned for much better than nothing, but why Quedui a special liking for those who praise the works in general!
