In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty in the past, Chu Suiliang was erudite and knowledgeable, especially good at calligraphy, and was also a scholar of the Cheng generation. In the middle of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizongwen was thirsty for books, and tried his best to search for the treasures of the world, and there were more than 3,000 ink treasures of Wang Xizhi in his possession, which was a grand view. Chu Suiliang was a court official at the time, and because of his profound calligraphy, he was commissioned to screen and analyze these ink traces, investigate the structure of their writing, and interpret the style of divine rhyme, which was a major event at the book forum at that time.
However, the years and months have passed, the world has changed, and the ink traces of Wang Xi, which was hidden in the inner palace of Taizong in the past, have not been fully preserved to this day after being washed by the torrent of history. Fei Fei is easy to change, and the world is long-lasting? Even if the details of the appraisals and the essence of the extension are imitated, it is difficult to escape the doom of exchanging objects for stars. Looking back on the past in my life, I can only sigh and regret the more than 3,000 masterpieces that have disappeared into the dust of history. It is actually a loss of cultural heritage, and a regret of the inheritance of calligraphy and art.
The husband wanted to immortalize the work of calligraphy and painting, and it was not only to rely on the royal palace or the noble house to treasure it. Gu Lai Xianda was well aware of this matter, so he had a clever plan to deal with it. As I mentioned earlier, although Wang Xizhi's ink traces were once rich in the royal family, it was impossible to avoid the disaster of dispersion. It can be seen from this that a single storage method is not enough to ensure the longevity of art.
The so-called extensiveness of the law is reproduction, that is, the author made his own copies during his lifetime, or invited the disciples to carefully copy and write them, so that they could be distributed among the people, just like seeds scattered all over the earth, so that they could continue to grow. For example, Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", although the original work has been lost, because there are many copies of the original over the generations, its calligraphy and rhyme have been passed down through the ages.
Another so-called gift to the scattered collection, that is, to give the best works to relatives, friends, fellow practitioners, and even exhibition schools, so that they can be scattered in all sides, each with its own protection, so that even if a place suffers a disaster, other places can still be preserved. And in the friendship between people, it is easier to arouse the respect and protection of future generations. For example, Huang Binhong Weng gave his confidants as a gift with paintings, but his life's efforts were donated to the Zhejiang Museum, which was actually a mistake, and he was afraid of being destroyed by disaster thousands of years later.
