According to China News Network, recently, an official WeChat account published an article saying that the "original" of the Preface to the Lanting Pavilion by the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi was discovered through the detection of a quantum cultural relic appraiser.
At a "Gu Shuhua Quantum Testing Seminar", a collector's ancestral calligraphy "Preface to Lanting" passed the dating test of quantum technology. As we all know, the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi's masterpiece Preface to Lanting has long been lost. At present, most of the masterpieces handed down from ancient times are copied by famous artists, such as Preface to Wang Xizhi's Journey to Lanting (a copy of Chu Suiliang in the Tang Dynasty).
Historical inheritance
Preface to Lanting is a famous calligraphy work, which is of course loved by many celebrities in history. It has been treasured in Pingshui yunmen temple for hundreds of years, and it was not until it reached Sun Zhiyong's disciple Wang Xizhi that the disciples of Tangmen came to yunmen temple and cheated the original preface of Lanting Collection. Yunmen temple was the most famous temple in Shaoxing at that time.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, liked it so much that he ordered to spend a large sum of money to buy it. But Lanting is Wang Xizhi's masterpiece, and the Wang family regards it as a treasure and will never pass it on.
At this time of Emperor Taizong, the seventh great-grandson of Wang Xizhi became a monk, that is, a wise monk and a famous calligrapher. He resolutely refused to give this thing to others. Later, when he died, he gave this Lanting to his apprentice, the eloquent monk. Emperor Taizong had no choice but to be cheated.
Emperor Taizong sent Xiao Yi, the minister, to see Cai Bian, the monk, because he was good at playing chess with him. Later, Cai Bian and Xiao Yi became good friends because of playing chess. Therefore, Xiao Yi had a chance to see the eloquent Lanting and stole it when the eloquent monk was not paying attention.
