Chapter 552 Painting and Calligraphy
In fact, the original work of "Preface to the Lanting Collection" is now in Yang Jing's storage space, which has explained many problems.

Since the "Lanting Collection Preface" designated by Li Er to be buried with him was secretly replaced by his son, it is not surprising that, as Li Zhi's wife, this authentic work fell into the hands of Wu Zetian.

Wu Meiniang is definitely a daring master, she even dared to steal the world from the old Li's family, so what is the mere authentic work of "Lanting Collection Preface"?
Wu Zetian is also very fond of calligraphy. If Li Zhi really secretly replaced the original "Lanting Collection Preface" that his father Li Er was going to be buried with, then why would Wu Zetian take this "Lanting Collection Preface" as his own after Li Zhi's death? up?
Perhaps it was because Li Zhi secretly replaced the "Lanting Collection Preface" that was originally buried with his father, Wu Zetian was also worried that his son would be greedy for his funeral objects after his death, so he placed the funeral objects in this mausoleum in advance Among them, including the original "Lanting Collection Preface".

It's just that Wu Meiniang probably didn't expect that although his son didn't know all of what she had prepared, her son was even more ruthless, and directly buried her and Li Zhi in the Qianling Mausoleum. This tomb that Wu Zetian carefully built for himself is naturally It was useless, and in the end, all the funerary objects that Wu Zetian had arranged in advance were all cheap for Yang Jing.

Yang Jing, who had figured all this out, couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.He also never imagined that Wu Zetian, the first emperor through the ages, would have a fate with him after going around for more than 1000 years.
But this is a good thing after all. First, the imperial jade seal, then those precious inscriptions, then those hand-copied Buddhist scriptures by famous masters whose value is inestimable, and then this authentic work of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface".If it weren't for Wu Zetian's actions back then, which tomb robber would be cheaper than these things?

Yang Jing put away this "Preface to Lanting Collection" happily, and then began to shift his energy to the next goal.

Yang Jing couldn't tolerate Yang Jing not diverting his attention. In fact, the closer to the center of this tomb, the more brocade boxes made of golden nanmu.Undoubtedly, these brocade boxes definitely contained precious funeral objects.

Sure enough, when Yang Jing opened one of the long brocade boxes, there was actually a scroll of paintings inside, and then Yang Jing decisively threw the box and the paintings into the space just as he did with "The Preface to the Collection of Orchid Pavilion".

After opening the scroll of paintings in the space, Yang Jing discovered that the scroll of paintings turned out to be a painting by Yan Liben, a famous painter in the early Tang Dynasty.

This painting seems to be a prosperous scene when a certain shop in a certain square in Chang'an opened, which is relatively rare.

Yan Liben is good at painting figures, whether it is "Printing of Walking Chariots" or "Pictures of Emperors of Past Dynasties", they all truly reflect Yan Liben's painting characteristics.Even Yang Jing thought that Yan Liben usually only painted portraits of people. How could he expect to see a painting similar to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" here.

Of course, this painting is not as huge as "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", and almost half of Bianjing is painted in it.The size of this painting is not small, but it was drawn after capturing a scene from a certain street and enlarging it.

If Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is large and comprehensive, then this painting is small but exquisite.

Like the paintings of many painters in the Tang Dynasty, the painting is on the left and the characters are on the right. There is also a paragraph at the end of the scroll indicating how the painting came about.

After reading the following words, Yang Jing realized that this painting called "Dongshi Rice Shop Opening Picture" was when Yan Liben was passing by Dongshi City after drinking with his friends. He happened to see a rice shop open. It was very festive. Yan Liben was very talented in painting, and splashed ink on the spot to create such a painting.

It's just that Yang Jing thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember any record about this painting in the relevant historical records.That means that the painting was not circulated to the outside world after it was created, perhaps it was collected by the owner of the rice shop at that time, or it was directly brought into the palace.

Yan Liben was an even better painter than Wu Daozi in the early Tang Dynasty. Yan Liben died more than ten years before Wu Daozi was born, so in the early Tang Dynasty, Yan Liben was the most amazing painter.

There is no historical record of this painting, but this does not mean that this painting is not precious.Anyway, this painting is also Yan Liben's work, and the style is completely different from his usual painting style, so this painting is even more precious.

keep it!
After discovering the painting by Yan Liben, Yang Jing found two portraits of Yan Liben's brother Yan Lide among the funerary objects, as well as paintings by famous painters such as Zheng Fashi in the early Sui Dynasty, Lu Tanwei in the Southern Dynasty, and Zhan Ziqian in the Sui Dynasty.

These paintings are either unrecorded in history, or are recorded but the original works have long been lost and only copies remain. Now all these paintings have been found here.

Yang Jing originally wondered if he could find one or two paintings by the saint Wu Daozi here, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find them. After thinking about it carefully, he was a little dumbfounded.

When Wu Zetian died, Wu Daozi was only in his twenties and had not yet become famous. Naturally, his paintings would not be collected by Wu Zetian as funeral objects.
Wu Zetian is worthy of being a generation of queens, and the funeral objects she carefully prepared for herself are naturally not bad.Of course, it may be that Wu Zetian respected Buddhism more, so these precious funerary objects were put together with other gold, silver and jewelry, instead of being placed separately in a tomb like those Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues.

In addition to these paintings, Yang Jing also found more than ten calligraphy works, all of which were the works of famous calligraphers in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Whether it is those paintings or these calligraphy works, they are priceless national treasures in modern times, but now these national treasures are scattered on the floor of this tomb in such a mess.Obviously, Wu Zetian paid far less attention to these calligraphy and paintings than those Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues.

No wonder, even Wang Xizhi's "Preface to Lanting Collection" is placed here, and the works of other calligraphers will inevitably accompany "Preface to Lanting Collection" here.

Yang Jing tidied up for a long time, and then packed all the funerary objects that fell out of the six scattered wooden boxes into the storage space, even the six scattered boxes.

This is golden nanmu, even if you take it out to make furniture or something after you go back, it can still be called a treasure.

And as these funerary objects on the ground became less and less, more than a dozen larger things were gradually revealed.

And when Yang Jing finished packing up all the funerary objects, and the dozen or so larger items showed their true faces, even Yang Jing, who had seen so many national treasures today, was almost numb now, and was still surrounded by the sight in front of him. These large funeral objects were shocked.

Twelve golden statues more than one meter high are placed in the center of the tomb, and in the middle of the twelve golden statues are eight small and one large tripod tripods with different styles and shapes.
Yang Jing took a deep breath when he saw these things.
PS: Tomorrow morning, I will go home with the air ticket. I will go out for a trip. Lao Mo himself is almost exhausted. Not to mention, there are a lot of updates, please forgive me.
