"Post" originally refers to the calligrapher's genuine ink pen. In order to spread and learn, famous works appeared after the Song Dynasty, which were hooked with stones or jujube boards and then hammered with lettering. This kind of post is also called "post", such as the famous "Spring Flower Pavilion Post" and "Bao Jin Zhai Fa Post". "Inscription" has been combined into one word to refer to the mode of learning calligraphy. -"Appreciation of Historic Sites" Fee
In fact, "tablet" mainly refers to the tablet of Han, Wei and Tang Dynasties. According to types, there are tombstones, temple monuments, statues and cliffs. "Post" refers to the author's letters or poems. Because there was no photographic technology in ancient times, it could only be spread by rubbings. With the progress of printing, rubbings are exclusively collected, and their circulation is getting less and less, so the so-called rubbings collection actually refers to the rubbings (or rubbings) collection.
Stone tablet, commonly known as "Hei Hu" in the past, is not only a work of art with cultural and historical connotation, but also a combination of artistic taste and technological processing.
In order to record the important events and grand celebrations of the former dynasty, our predecessors carved literary forms and calligraphers' handwriting on cliffs and stone tablets by famous craftsmen, so the stone tablets had multiple artistic contents and were inlaid into axes or books, which became stone tablets. Monument is a combination of monument and monument. In fact, "monument" refers to the rubbings of stone carvings, and "monument" refers to the ancient famous ink collected on wooden boards and stones. In the early days of printing development, inscriptions were all important means to spread culture. In the future, people will learn these written materials in order to learn calligraphy or make historical materials. To this end, these "inscriptions" are authentic, timely, technological and artistic. Because cultural goods can circulate in the market and also have economic value, appreciation has become an important means.
To know all kinds of rubbings left in ancient times, it is very important to identify the original stone. Because the original monument was destroyed, the only remaining original or orphan rubbings will be priceless. According to historical records, Huang Tingjian in the Ming Dynasty had a "Zhenguan engraving" of a Confucius Temple tablet, which was bought with twenty-two thousand gold. This shows the value of Yu Shinan's Confucius Temple Monument. However, the later editions of Cheng Wu Ben and Xi An Ben are not as good as the rubbings. 1920, the great collector Luo Zhenyu publicly sold the tablet of Anming Tuoben Temple valued by him, with a value of 140 yuan, and the tablet of Chengwu Temple collected by Zhang Shumei with a value of 120 yuan.
Due to the role of the law of value, it has become the interest of many collectors to really learn to appreciate the inscriptions. From the overall understanding of the inscription, appreciation is also from the outside to the inside, with different aspects. The first thing I saw was the decoration of rubbings. All kinds of old rubbings, especially ancient rubbings, have different styles in different periods. Therefore, "fold", "butterfly" and "line" all reflect the characteristics of materials and mounting times, and then the specific ink color and effect of rubbing paper and rubbing are objective analysis of materials and techniques.
After the Southern Song Dynasty, stone engravers became more and more proficient in rubbings and stone carving. Therefore, it is necessary to further identify the styles of calligraphy and pens. , has become the main basis for appreciation. Then there is the auxiliary basis for identifying inscriptions, that is, inscriptions, seals and inscriptions, which can help us identify authenticity.
