Chapter 1600

"However, after Qin Hui became the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, he colluded with a foreign country, framed loyal people, and even killed the national hero Yue Fei on a 'groundless' charge. He was despised by the later generations and was regarded as a sinner. Even today, his and his wife's statues are still kneeling in front of Yue Fei's grave, spurned by the people. During his nineteen years in power, his reputation was very bad. He suppressed the generals who fought against the Jin Dynasty and betrayed the country for protection. Because of his evil deeds, people did not use his surname to name his calligraphy. (Although it is said that when this calligraphy was first created, the name 'Qin Style' did appear. However, when Qin Hui was imprisoned, he was ostracized by the people and changed to 'Song Style'. "

"In addition, a calligrapher's character and writing skills are equal. However, Qin Hui was a sinister and treacherous person. He did not have a big heart nor a high moral character. Even if his writing skills were beautiful, people did not like to talk about it. Therefore, the people and calligraphers did not want to associate this calligraphy with Qin Hui. Therefore, they changed the name of the dynasty in which it was created and called it 'Song Style'."

Hearing the auctioneer's boasting, Ouyang Mengxi's eyes widened in surprise. "Ah? It's still like this? "

Mu Yue smiled and looked at Ouyang Mengxi. "Do you believe his words so easily?"

"Is it not?" Ouyang Mengxi heard and asked Mu Yue in confusion.

Mu Yue shook her head and said, "This is also a rumor, but it is not true. Although Qin Hui's calligraphy is good, this Song Style was not created by him. The imitation Song Style was also not influenced by him. This is just the auctioneer's boasting to fool people who do not understand calligraphy. They are just curious about the ink stone that Qin Hui once used!"

Hearing Mu Yue's words, Ouyang Mengxi shrunk her neck and stuck out her tongue. "So that's how it is!"

"Only people who truly understand calligraphy know the history of this calligraphy. People who don't understand it are probably just fooling you to raise the value of this auction item!" Mu Yue said faintly.

When Mu Haiye heard this, she couldn't help but give Mu Yue a thumbs up. She praised, "Little Yue 'er, you're really amazing. If you didn't say it, I would have been fooled by him and thought it was real! After all, many of the things said at this auction are true and false. Everyone believes it and thinks it's real! Ai, how shameful! "

Mu Yue smiled and comforted Mu Haiye. "Because I study Chinese Medicine, I need to use a brush to write prescriptions, that's why I have some knowledge of calligraphy...... I don't know, I don't believe him........ So, I.. Believe him..

. "On the stage, Gu Wen chuckled and said," Of course, today we're not here to study Qin Hui's calligraphy. Instead, we're here to take a look. Qin Hui used a treasure to write so many pieces of calligraphy, and that's the ink stone from the Four Treasures of the Study! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Wen lifted the red cloth covering the cart, revealing the inkstone on the cart.

"I'm sure everyone knows that there are different grades of ink stones. The best type of ink stone is the Duan Ink Stone, which has the reputation of being the head of all ink stones."

"In history, Duan Ink Stones were forbidden to be used by ordinary people. The only people who could use them were high officials, nobles, and famous scholars!"
