Emperor Qianlong was also aware of the situation. He collected a fake "Lilac Flower Tie" and compiled it into Sanxitang
Most emperors of the Qing Dynasty liked calligraphy, but only Emperor Qianlong Aisin Gioro Hongli. He not only liked calligraphy and painting, practiced calligraphy and painting, but also had two major hobbies. One was to collect calligraphy and painting from ancient masters, and the other was to write inscriptions and stamp on calligraphy and paintings from famous masters of all dynasties.
This is also something that Emperor Qianlong is often criticized. Although Qianlong's calligraphy is pretty good, it is far from being a big name. Of course, it is a pity to write calligraphy on everyone's classic works.

Another hobby of stamping seals makes many calligraphers and painters unable to bear it, because the seals and inscriptions are different, and they are directly stamped on the work. Emperor Qianlong's seals are not only large but also many. He once stamped 172 square seals on the running script of Wang Xizhi by Wang Xizhi . This work has only 28 characters in total. Many calligraphers believe that these seals have affected the impression of the work and are noisy.

However, even Emperor Qianlong, who was a calligraphy enthusiast who collected countless calligraphy and painting works by famous artists, would have been a mistake. He collected a fake "Lilac Flower Tie" and also compiled this fake into his calligraphy collection " Sanxitang Fa Tie" ". As a result, it was dug out by experts and unanimously believed that Emperor Qianlong collected a fake.

Some people think that the Qing Dynasty's inner palace was actually the original one at the beginning, but during the Kangxi period, he was dropped the bag by the doctor of the book, Gao Shiqi , secretly left it himself, and made a fake and sent it back. However, Emperor Qianlong played with it many times but couldn't see it, and he showed it everywhere. Some experts believe that the "Jiuhua Tie" he received at the beginning was fake and the emperor was fooled.

However, the work in Gao Shiqi's hand is not the original. The famous calligrapher Luo Zhenyu edited a picture of "Jiuhua Tie" inserted into the "Jiuhua Tie", which is unanimously considered to be the original. Xu Bangda, a master of calligraphy and painting appraisal, said that this work is far above the version in the hands of Emperor Qianlong and Gao Shiqi.

Unfortunately, this treasure was later lost at Luo Zhenyu's residence, and its whereabouts are still unknown. This classic work, known as "the tenth running script in the world", is loved by the emperor and thought of by the ministers, only photos are left for us to learn.
Qianlong's imperial pen
"Jiuhua Tie" is from the famous calligrapher Yang Ningshi . Although Yang Ningshi has not left many works, each of them is very classic. His calligraphy directly influenced the "Shangyi" style of calligraphy in the Song Dynasty. Even the master Huang Tingjian praised him, "The world learns all the Lanting face and wants to change the mortal fetus without fairy pills. Who knew that Yang Fengzi of Luoyang went to the black silk railing when he started writing."
The work "Jiuhua Tie" also directly influenced the calligraphy of later calligraphers, and was called "the tenth running script in the world". For example, Dong Qichang is to learn its layout, and it is also a copybook that we must learn when learning calligraphy. Friends who like it can buy it to read it.
