Tang dynasty joke: the prime minister was beaten in the face, and the fake became a joke. Why is an inscription a joke?

Pei Xiu, whose real name is Gong Mei, is from Jiyuan, Mengzhou. Tang Muzong was a scholar, and his rank was the same as that of Prime Minister, Xuanwu, our time and so on. Good at calligraphy and painting, he is a famous calligrapher in Tang Dynasty. He was a good Buddha all his life and didn't eat wine and meat. According to legend, Fahai, the Zen master of Jinshan Temple, is his son. Pei Xiu's acting style is different from ordinary people, and he is called "Prime Minister Shaman" by the world, which has become the mockery and frivolous object of his time.

Pei Xiu is a typical antique lover, and his family has a large collection of Wan Wen antiques. Pei Xiu enjoyed it all his life and was always proud of it. If you find a favorite Wan Wen, Pei Xiu will try her best to collect it.

One day, he was a cousin of a county magistrate in Qufu and specially gave him an antique. Pei Xiu knows that this antique is called "Ang", but the capacity of this antique is about three buckets (about 18 liters in modern times), with short neck, bird feet, round mouth and square ears, which looks simple and heavy. Pei Xiu fell in love with this antique at first sight.

Unearthed bronzes, similar to those in the middle of the back row? Ang？

Pei Xiu asked his cousin about the origin of this antique. His cousin told him that it was an antique dug up by Qufu farmers when they reclaimed wasteland. There is an inscription with nine words on it, but no one can understand it. In order to verify the authenticity, he once asked a scholar who was proficient in writing to check the inscription. The scholar told him that the inscription on it was Da Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The inscription reads "Qi Huangong will play in the year of Kwai Autumn".

Pei Xiu was a famous "otaku" when he was a teenager, and he never left home to study Confucian classics. In addition, he likes calligraphy, calligraphy, and has a good study of ancient Chinese characters. Pei Xiu saw that the inscription on Ang Shang was really a big seal script, and there was no problem with the text content. Qi Huangong once joined the vassals of the world nine times, and the location of the eighth vassal of the world was indeed in Kwai Qiu. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some governors did cast some bronzes and carved them as souvenirs when something important happened.

Bronze inscriptions

Pei Xiu studied repeatedly, and from the aspects of patina, shape, inscription and so on, this antique really belongs to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Such antiques are related to historical events, and Pei Xiu regards them as treasures. Consciously, this thing can be compared with Zhou's Shooting and Wei Xianzi's Zhong.
