Seeing Beauty after Washing the Dirt —— Analysis of Mi Fei's Yan Mingshan
Author: Fan Ceng
This is really a tragedy that makes ancient literati sigh. Mifei, who is famous for her infirmity and rich products, is more sad than losing her black veil once she loses her love for Shiyan Mountain. He missed it so much that when he saw the mountain again, he would never get it again. His former friend Xue became a "forbearing person"; Because Mifei has changed treasures with Yanshan, and he has become the master of Yanshan, he knows Mifei's trick of pretending to be a fool and telling the baby by any means, and of course he dare not show it to him again. You can't beat Mi Dian's cheating. He is brilliant and addicted to alcohol. You can't bear to see him disappointed. The only way is to "forbear" and let him cry alone. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Tao's Record of Dropping out of Farming in Nancun described this. Fortunately, it didn't last long: "This stone is a gem of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Taoist ancestors are easy to remove. Zhong You's old poem says: It's not easy to see the mountains, but move the Qin Cuifeng. There are some colorful books in the cave, and the smoke is hazy. Rock has its own history. It is independent and noble. Knowing that there is no cloud, heaven and man are connected. Standing on the wall to shine on the spring fields, there were thousands of pine trees at that time. Rugged floating waves, suppressing dragons, rustling wind and rain, like a mountain forest. It is extremely worrying that the dream of dust suddenly failed to arrive. The public is rich in strange stones, and ordinary people are not allowed to be the same. The mountain is taken by surprise, and when it is taken by surprise, the spring drops on the mountain, and the water drops help the end. Swing into shocking words, the idea is the same. Autumn begins in the south of the Yangtze River, and the wind is far and wide. People often admire it and scatter it outside Miao Yan. I hope you can cherish this stone, so don't share it with others. Why not hide? You can hide and be a fairy. There is also a cloud: the mountain will not see you again, oh, the poet sighs. Only Yuchan gives frequent tears. Once this stone enters the canal, you will never see it again. You can't tell every time you make friends. Shao is really patient. I want to draw a picture with this stroke, as if it were in front of me. From then on, I lost my delicacy. Looking at August of the first year of Chongning, Mi Fei wrote. " Since "forbearing others" is so ruthless, Mifei, who is still childlike, drew this rare desk confession from memory. This passage has been copied in the notes by later literati. Recently, I read the version of Su Mi Zhi Lin (1625) in the fifth year of the Apocalypse in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was reprinted almost word for word. It can be seen that this private case in the literary world has absorbed the feelings of scholars for hundreds of years, which contains empathy for all cherished things. We might as well call it "the mountain research complex".
This "mountain complex" shows the mysterious comedy of China's "mountain inscription" returning to his native country in the early 20th century.
First of all, Mi Fei's original "Yan" came back from Japanese auction and was bought by the Forbidden City at a sky-high price. If there is an original Miffy, it will be unknown for 900 years, and it will suddenly see the light of day and return to the East. The possibility of this discovery is of course very small, which is tantamount to astronomers discovering 100 million light years. It is understandable that people rejoice and tell each other. However, when Mr. Wang sent a copy of Yan Mingshan to my eyes, my heart was cold.
What comes along is a conscious pseudo-state revealed in Yan's scrolls, not to mention that this inscription has not been seen in any ancient notes from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. From the inscription itself, it is also very poetic, but it is quite like a Taoist charm. The preface does not match the latter, and the realm is lacking. I have to say that this is Mi Fei, the "first person in the world" (praised by Su Shi). Obviously, forgers will use ten lies to round a lie, so in the volume, Yan appeared, which followed Yan closely. Of course, I hope people will believe that this is Mi Fei's Yan, but this has already completed our first interrogation of Yan.
First of all, Yan's brushwork is as weak as a little girl, while Zhai Yan's six-character and eight-character seal script is as naive as a beginner, and official script is not a word of the Song Dynasty. A crazy person like Miffy would never draw or write such a thing. We have no luck to witness Mi Fei's "Mi Fei Landscape". There is no doubt that Mi Fei's poems and documents are wonderful. However, painting is a project that requires a madman to sit patiently and work hard on pictographs. Mi Fei probably can't do it, but it should be Mi Fei's best policy to blurt out wild words, comment vertically and horizontally and hide anything. Even so, Miffy's writing is probably impressive. In the past, I only saw the coral with branches on the coral column, and the lines were as prominent as Vajrayana, which was far from this mountain map. The coolness in my heart drives me to turn to Yan's second question: the authenticity of Mi Youren's appraisal.
The origin of Dami's calligraphy can be traced back to Wang Xianzhi, and Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy is more incisive than Nai Weng's. This can be seen in the great power calligraphy, and their calligraphy has a vigorous and uninhibited side. However, after Mi Youren's appraisal certificate, Yan is weak and disgusting. If we look closely, we will see traces of following the sample instead of expressing our thoughts directly. If this intuition is close, then when we compare these two lines of lower case letters with other people in Mi Youren, we will regard them as original works, such as bamboo slips, Tiaoxi poems and cursive nine signs. There is no doubt that Mi Youren's two lines are very poor imitations. The hesitation of using a pen comes from the state of reading and writing, and the clumsiness of lines is purely the imitator's imbecility. The most revealing thing finally appeared. Let's take a look at Mi Youren's appraisal postscript after Yan Mingshan, and see how similar it is to the handwriting after the cursive script of Jiutie. Word spacing, stroke length, thickness and inclination are close to clones. Anyone with a little common sense will not hesitate to point out that one of them must be false. Since ancient times, authenticity is like ice charcoal, truth is true, and falsehood is false. It is expected that Mi Youren's postscript will be exposed after Yan. Look at the words "Gong and Postscript" again, it's ridiculous, but the word "Yan" is stiff and lifeless, jumping into sight. This ridiculous fake word is invisible to many experts in middle school.
Well, now we are attacking the inscription on the mountain. This is a crusade in a completely disheartened state. Of course, all irresponsible enthusiasm has been swept away. At this time, there is only a cold and sharp judgment spirit. The first 25 words from "Yan" to "Ze" are still considerable. After "Ze", the word "Hou Kun" was removed. Compared with the former, the following word 12 was obviously not written by one person, not only the ink color was different, but also the brush was changed. The pen used for the first 25 words is both rigid and flexible, and wool is also wolf hair, so I occasionally raise a pen. And the words at the back are clumsy and hard to read. The word "Qian Xuan Shu" goes straight to the street. How could Miffy have written it? Mi Youren's certificate has been judged as a false certificate, so there is no doubt that Mi Fei's face can be a fake, so there can be a precedent of forgery and authenticity, so it is necessary for us to do the above analysis.
After the third trial, there is no doubt that this book is false. In addition, we can also ask some lower-level questions, such as the inscription and postscript of Wang Tingjun, a gold man, which is obviously inconsistent with the book. Did Wang Tingjun say what Miffy said? It seems to be praising a kind of bird-insect seal script, so there is a saying that "the bird traces the sparrow shape, the meaning of the word is extremely ancient, the abnormal condition is too big, and there is a god at the bottom of the pen". The forger doesn't know where to cut a famous handwriting, which is not only helpless, but also fake. In addition, because Mi Youren's postscript is false, there is no need to distinguish the two seals, and they are very different from the seal strokes in Yanshan inscriptions, especially the Fiona Fang radian at the top of the word "nei".
After collectors are silent for too long, they need some stimulating factors to wrinkle up a pool of spring water. After the noise in the first half of the year, it's time to calm down. For some sudden collection events, the herd mentality of the whole society is inevitable, and everyone gives Yan a thumbs up. After enthusiastic baptism, the appraiser's eyes changed from severity to tolerance. The obvious fragmentation, such as the word 12 after the word "Yan" (excluding the word "Hou Kun"), shows that Mi Fei and a talented person and a beautiful woman have this ups and downs. We must not be deceived by subversive and crazy people in the history of calligraphy and painting. Generally speaking, this is an art of survival, a strategy of keeping a low profile, and Mi Fei, Zhang Xu and Huai are all to blame. Because their works tell us that they absolutely have calm aesthetic judgment to control their creative enthusiasm, and almost no failure in their crazy works is irrefutable evidence. It is Xu Wei who is really abnormal in his brain. In his works with talented and handsome hair, the failure from time to time is heartbreaking. Is it possible for Miffy? Of course not.
Looking at it from another angle, if the experts in the Forbidden City verify that the seals of "Inner House Seal", "Feng" and "Moon Rise" are true, then we can now take out Holmes' reasoning technique to solve the mystery and have a 900-year tour: at first, we found a word "Yan" similar to Mi Fei, but it was unsigned, and when we arrived in the Song Dynasty, it was covered with "Inner House Seal". Then I arrived at Jia Sidao, right hand. He is a big player in the world, and his eyesight is very good. He was suspicious of the word, so although he stamped it with "Feng" and "",he did not include it in his "Bielu of Calligraphy and Painting". The word spread from the court to the people should be at the end of the Song Dynasty, and all forgers were from the Yuan Dynasty. Because of the seal in front, it is inevitable to pierce the thoughts of the association. After a long time, Mi Fei's Yan Mingshan and Mi Youren's fake postscript finally came out. This is the funeral of Mi Youren who died more than one hundred years ago. Later, more literati in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were not very familiar with calligraphy. Stamping a few seals is beyond the scope of this article, and can be used as a child's view of play. It's a pity that this fake didn't come to the front of these powerful characters of Dong Qichang. If so, I'm afraid all the arguments today are unnecessary.
Attach a poem:
Strict theory
Yanshan lost his drama, pathetic, and his meal was once a pillow.
I don't cry in the cold month, but I want to send it before drawing.
The inscription may have been written by an idle person, but the seal was originally a passing sight.
Wiping your eyes bothers you to pursue the past, and dust washes away the beauty.
