Chapter 404

——【Think too much, even if Xiang Fangyang dug it out, he has no reason to put it in the Xiang Fangyang Museum, unless the Provincial Museum agrees. Of course, it also needs the consent of the National Museum and the Palace Museum. But it is not impossible, after all, there are too many good things in Xiang Fangyang's place.】

The release of the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* is not only a sensation in the cultural relic world.

It is also a major earthquake in the calligraphy world.

Most people who like calligraphy are often those who are older.

The older you are, the more you like it.

Young people prefer painting more.

So when this matter spread.

Those old calligraphers didn't know it at all!

In the evening, a young member of the National Calligraphy Association called the president to inform him of this.

"Hello! President, good news, great good news!"

"What's so exciting? Could it be that the original *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* has been found?"

"Yes, yes, yes! How did you know! The original *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* has been dug out!"

The president was stunned when he heard this: "What? Dug out? Really or fake? I just said it casually!"

"It's true, hurry up and go online to see, the news has spread!"

"Hiss~~ Okay, I'll go see it right away!"

When the president of the Calligraphy Association opened the computer and searched for the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion*.

Overwhelming news and videos came into view.

Half an hour later...

He sat in front of the computer with an excited expression, his eyes full of shock!

Then he opened the discussion group and posted a message.

"Major news, the original *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* has been released, everyone attend the emergency online meeting."

Who would have thought that as soon as the online meeting room was opened.

A large group of people squeezed in immediately.

What surprised the president even more was that many people already knew about this.

Soon, more than 200 people gathered in the meeting room.

You have to know that these 200 people are not ordinary students or teachers.

Every one of them is a famous master in the calligraphy world.

The kind that can sell a character for several thousand.

Some can even sell a piece of calligraphy for hundreds of thousands.

And they don't just have the title of calligrapher.

Anyone you pick up is at the level of a principal or director of the Education Bureau.

There are also many famous writers in the literary world.

They gathered together just to discuss today's subject, the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion*.

In the meeting room, the president spoke first.

"You should also know that the original *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* has been released. As members of the Calligraphy Association, the importance of the appearance of such a thing to us is indescribable. Now the problem is that it will definitely not be exhibited for a while, but I believe you must be impatient."

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately answered.

"More than impatient, I wish I could fly over to see it now. Even if I just take a look, even if I die, I think it's worth it! I never thought I would hear the news of the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* being released in my life; it's really too exciting!"

"I dream of seeing the original *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* with my own eyes one day. I can imagine what Wang Xizhi's mood was when he wrote the preface. It was because I read his copy of the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* that I found my own way of writing. He is my teacher!"

"He is also my teacher. Although there are better calligraphies than the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* in later generations, the enlightenment effect it brings is incomparable to other copybooks. Even after so many years, its status as the world's number one running script has not been shaken at all."

"We shouldn't be emotional now, but think about how to observe it as soon as possible. I suggest that you, President, apply to the local Cultural Relics Bureau in the name of helping with archaeology to see if you can take us to the scene to study and appreciate it."

"This proposal is good, but the problem is that there are more than 200 of us. We can't all go together. People who don't know will think we are going to rob."

After listening to everyone's discussion.

The president took a deep breath.

"Just follow your proposal, I will use my old face to sell a favor. It stands to reason that they won't refuse. In addition, I can take at most 5 people with me. You can consider which 5 people will go with me. If you can't choose, then I will go alone!"

After the association members in the meeting room heard this sentence, they were all anxious.

Everyone was scolding the president for being cunning in their hearts.

Choosing 5 people out of 200, the difficulty is imaginable.

Everyone wants to go, and no one wants to give up.

But most people can't go.

If the president chooses by himself, everyone will have opinions.

If they choose by themselves, they might not be able to choose for a year.

Now it's good, if you can't choose, none of you go.

Privately, an undercurrent for observing the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* was surging wildly.

Within an hour.

Five people were selected.

Of course, no one knows how much price they paid.

But others didn't think they were fools.

Instead, they were very envious.

In their view, being able to see the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* is like going to the West to learn scriptures.

It's a pilgrimage!

Even if they can see it sooner or later.

But this period of time is like a knife in their hearts.

Dreaming of the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* every day.

I'm afraid only they can understand the pain in the middle.

Coincidentally.

This matter is not only fermenting in China.

It also caused a wave of heated discussion abroad.

After all, it involves one of China's eight major cultural relics.

Its importance is known even to foreign netizens.

US News Agency.

Japan NAK TV station.

【Quoted from Chinese news agency: China's first running script *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* was unearthed. It is said that much of Japan's calligraphy was borrowed from this font. Its unearthing has very important significance for China and even Japan!】

Kimchi Country Observer.

【Quoted from Chinese news agency: As everyone knows, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, calligrapher Wang Xizhi belonged to our Kimchi Country, so he is the pride of our Kimchi Country. Here, we hope that China can return the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* to our country; it belongs to us!】

Curry Country...

Camel Country..

Sun Never Sets...

With the reports of many foreign media.

More and more foreign netizens realized the importance of the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion*.

When they surfed the Internet for a while.

They would be surprised to find that this ordinary copybook has so much cultural heritage.

For a time, the discussion about the *Preface to the Orchid Pavilion* started on YouTube.

——【Envy, worthy of being a country with a 5000-year civilization. Such things are just ordinary words in our eyes, but in their country, it means the inheritance and history and culture of the ancestors. This is a kind of faith, but we don't have it.】

——【What is 5000 years? Our Kimchi Country has 7000 years of history. Besides, this copybook belongs to our Kimchi Country. China is just a thief. Watch out, our American big dog will help us get it back.】

——【My mom, where did you get this honey-flavored confidence? And American big dog, are there any American netizens? I just want to ask, what is Kimchi Country like in your mind?】

——【Grandson! They are not even worthy of being sons. Without us, they might still be playing with mud somewhere. I don't know where the confidence comes from.】

——【I can't laugh, Kimchi Country can even kneel to Japan now, saying he is a grandson is not an exaggeration at all. If Japan is America's son, Kimchi Country is definitely a biological grandson!】
