There is no author's name on Ping An Post, but most people in history think it was written by Wang Xizhi. When this cursive script came out, the word 4 1 was stamped with dozens of seals for collection and appreciation, which shows that it has changed hands many times in the long history. Emperor Qianlong praised this post as "sunny day in Asia", which is comparable to Wang Xizhi's "sunny day in the snow" and "Sanxi Hall", and Wang Xizhi's ancient edition is second to none.

Interpretation: This time, more than a dozen people have been repaired in Rough Peace. I want to go back tomorrow to find out, and my reputation has increased from the same.

Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is a safe post, which is like a post, and Feng Jutie is connected into a piece of paper. Collected by the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

In China, there is a saying that there is no gentleman. However, in the opinion of experts, Wang Xizhi's manuscripts are also national treasures, and the excellent manuscripts of the Tang Dynasty have always been regarded as authentic, and recorded in the continuation of Shiqu Baodi, which has been collected by many collectors and circulated orderly, which is extremely rare. According to textual research, it was collected by Ke, a famous expert in Yuan Dynasty, and its collection seal was printed on its left and right sides and at the crossing of Song Ling.

Since then, this work has entered the hands of Li Jin, a collector in the early Ming Dynasty, and was acquired by Wen Zhiming. In the 20th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Wen and his son carved it into Volume 4 of Stop Cloud Pavilion Fa Tie, which was recognized as copied by the Tang Dynasty, and this post was later owned by his eldest son, Wen Peng. Wanli years into Beijing, was discovered by Wang Shimao and Sun Yun. Wu Jiafeng, a collector in Shexian County, Anhui Province in the late Ming Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, he hid in the homes of Cao Rong, Li Zongkong and Liang Qingbiao, and later returned to the inner government. ...

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 243 calligraphy works of Wang Xizhi in Xuanhe Pu Shu, among which Ping An Tie was cursive. The deputy director of the Palace Museum said that Pan's "Jiang Tie" in the Northern Song Dynasty was also included in Wang Xizhi's "Jiang Daotie". In addition, the post is also engraved with the Southern Song Dynasty Clarification Hall post. The above three important descriptions show that as early as the Song Dynasty, Ping An Tie had a prominent position in the hearts of public and private collectors. Xuanhe book spectrum, in which the record of Ping An Post is relatively simple, only the catalogue. He said that Wang Xizhi's posts recorded in Xuanhe Pu Shu can be divided into two categories: running script and cursive script. There are two kinds of Ping 'an ties. The Ping 'an ties now stored in the National Palace Museum in Taipei are paper running scripts, which are completely different from the silk cursive Ping 'an ties in this auction, but with the same name and surname.

Among "Jiang Tie", "Gao Jiang Dao Tie" is 9 lines and 74 words; The silk cursive script "Ping An Tie" that appeared this time has preserved its first four lines of 465,438+0 characters. The silk script is extremely ancient and the ink color is extremely dark. It is very similar to the comparison of qi, structure and pen used in Jiang Tie.

After Wang Xizhi's cursive "Ping An Tie" entered the Yuan Dynasty, he met an important "Bole"-a famous painter, collector and doctor of Zhang Kui Pavilion. He is responsible for appraising the stone paintings and calligraphy in the palace. The emperor trusted Ke Jiusi very much, and gave him a pass in order to let him enter and leave the court freely. His collection is mainly calligraphy and painting. He is 30 years old, and his collection can be compared with Mifei. He is good at appreciating famous paintings, and famous works in the history of China's calligraphy and painting, such as Travel Notes of Xishan in Song Dynasty, are collected by him.

The cursive "Ping An Tie" was stamped with Ke's seal * * * four times, and the position of the seal was also extremely careful, showing his love for this ancient tie. "Ke Jiu Si is a great appraiser with great vision and knowledge. It is impossible to be so interested in a copywriter who is very close to his age. " On the right side of the first line, there is a piece of silk that has been mended, and Ke recorded it with "calligraphy and painting seal" on the riding seam between this painting and the silk of the Song Dynasty (referring to the part of silk or silks close to calligraphy and painting). However, the ink seal on the lower left cover and the "Ke Jiusi Zhong Jing Seal" both lost the left half, which shows that the other half must be in the backwater obstacle. With the loss of the original waterproof layer, the other two semi-seals will be invisible. This way of inscription can prove that the original 9-line 74-word "Ping An Tie" was divided at least before Ke and Ke.

In Jin Yunchang's view, the collection, inscription and seal cutting of Wen Zhiming in Ming Dynasty are one of the most brilliant opportunities for Ping 'an cursive script. Indeed, Wen Zhiming was responsible for engraving "Fa Tie of Zhiyun Pavilion", the cursive script "Ping An Tie" was engraved in the fourth volume, and the official script was engraved with the title "The Fourth Volume of the Original Works of the Tang Dynasty". Wen Zhiming and his son are both experts in copywriting. From ink book to stone, the cursive "Ping An Tie" in Stop the Cloud Pavilion is almost undistorted compared with the original ink book we see today.

Wen Zhiming, 84, wrote a long postscript in official script two years after this post was engraved in Tingyunge/KLOC-0. He had a new view on this cursive script, classified it as "authentic works of the Tang Dynasty" and upgraded it to "authentic works". Although his son Wen Jia indirectly denied his father's point of view, Wen Zhiming did not change his point of view until his death. Of course, it may be because the cursive "Ping An Tie" is Wen Zhiming's own collection at this time, which is intended to raise its value, but at least it can show that Wen Zhiming really loves it.

In the Qing Dynasty, this post was collected by the connoisseur Liang Qingbiao. Liang's appreciation and collection are rich in the world. You Chuntu written by Zhan Ziqian in Sui Dynasty, a picture of walking in surprise written by Yan in Tang Dynasty, and even a picture of a banquet by Han Xizai and an ancient picture of a banquet are his favorites. There is a phrase "banana forest" in his cursive script "Ping An Tie". After Liang Qingbiao's death, the cursive "Ping An Tie" became a royal collection with most of its collections. In April of the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong, Qianlong explained this post on the water behind the yellow silk, and wrote the words "Kai A Shi Qing Tie" behind it, comparing the cursive "Ping An Tie" with his favorite "Quick Snow Stone Qing Tie". Subsequently, the post was organized into "Shiqu Baodi? Continue. "

When the cursive script "Ping An Tie" flowed out of the Qing court, it is now impossible to verify. But judging from its seal, it should be after Jiaqing. Some of the paintings and calligraphy collected by the Qing court were taken out of the palace by Xuantong, but Yin Guanghua thought that the cursive "Ping An Tie" should go out of the palace after Jiaqing and before Xuan Tong. "Generally speaking, Xuan Tong's collection has his seal when it is taken out of the palace, but the cursive" Ping An Tie "doesn't," Yin Guanghua said. "It may have flowed out of the palace before Xuan Tong because of a reward or theft."

In the late Cultural Revolution, Xu Bangda, a contemporary appraiser, saw and verified this post. He wrote: "This post was printed in ancient times-'Calligraphy and Painting Seal' and Keyin are ancient, which should be non-forged ... The seals of Wang Guxiang, Peng Nian, Hu and collectors from all walks of life are true."

China Guardian kept his mouth shut about the collector who provided this cursive "Ping An Tie"; A person familiar with the matter told reporters that the cursive "Ping An Tie" was originally the favorite of a well-known collector in Beijing. Confiscated during the Cultural Revolution and returned after the Cultural Revolution. Xu Bangda may have seen Ping An's tie before returning it. In this auction, Guardian collected this lot from overseas.
