the second day.
Early in the morning.
Yang Chen came to the gym early and exercised for a while with the equipment inside, but it didn't work.
After dinner, Yang Chen went to master Ye's study.
"Here you are." Master Ye is practicing calligraphy.
In ancient times, the sun rises in the East and the purple air comes in the East.
Sunrise is the beginning of the day.
This time contact calligraphy, the best state, perception will be deeper, the effect is the best.
Yang Chen nodded and didn't disturb Mr. Ye. When he got up, he watched Mr. Ye practice calligraphy.
At this time, ye Laozi copied Wang Xizhi's preface to Lanting.
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, a great achievement of calligraphy, is recognized by all as a great calligrapher. Everyone wants to practice Wang Xizhi's wild grass calligraphy and take pride in it.
But Yang Chen doesn't think so.
Yang Chen shakes his head slightly as he looks at the techniques and power points of Ye's imitation.
Ye stopped, looked at Yang Chen and asked, "what do you think?"
"Not bad." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"How are you?" Ye old son a burst of pick eyebrow, stare at Yang Chen, some displeasure.
At this age, Mr. Ye devoted himself to calligraphy and was very proud of his calligraphy. When that man saw his calligraphy, he didn't rush to praise it. He wanted to get a pair of ink treasures at any cost?
With Mr. Ye's arrogance, all his works are kept there, and have never been sent out.
Now Yang Chen says it's OK.
This is not a high evaluation.
When Yang Chen saw the appearance of Mr. Ye, he knew that he was not happy. He couldn't help but said with a bitter smile: "I think I can't flatter you against my heart in this matter. Others may flatter and flatter you because of your identity and for some purposes. I don't think it's good for you. Sometimes you can find your own shortcomings and go further by being honest and harsh. "
"Don't worry! I don't want any flattery from you, just say what you have Ye old son picks eyebrow way.
Yang Chen smiles and points out: "the sixth word is wrong."
You know, there are 21 characters in Wang Xizhi's preface to Lanting collection, each of which has a different way of writing, and each of them is extremely amazing! It also reflects Wang Xizhi's profound calligraphy skills.
Therefore, when copying the preface of Orchid Pavilion collection, the most difficult thing to copy is the word Zhi.
Looking at the words he copied and the words in the book, ye frowned and said, "is there any difference?"
"Yes." Yang Chen pointed to the corner and said, "here, his usage is to throw, while you turn carefully. The way is not right, and the feeling is not right. You can't write out Wang Xizhi's free and easy feeling."
Ye's brow locked, carefully staring at his own font and Wang Xizhi's words, thinking about what Yang Chen said.
Yang Chen continued: "let me tell you this. For example, it may be vulgar, but it's easier for you to understand. Don't be angry."
"Not angry, you say." Ye old son impatient way.
Those who love calligraphy don't want to keep improving, so he wants to hear what Yang Chen wants to express.
Yang Chen then said: "just like you are a farmer, waving a hoe to cultivate the land. However, if you have to knock the drum, still standing, holding a stick and hoeing the drum like a hoe, what do you think it will be like? "
"Hey Ye old son some anxious, "you this parable."
Yang Chen pointed to Ye Laozi with a smile and said, "ah! You said it
Mr. Ye said helplessly: "forget it, I was born as a farmer. It's not wrong for you to make such a comparison. Do you mean that my calligraphy style and direction are different from those of Wang Xizhi
"You are different from Wang Xizhi in character. You have been a general, commanding a large number of troops, and you have pride in your heart. It's normal for you to like the wild form of cursive calligraphy. However, what I want to say is that Wang Xizhi lived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, calligraphy works emerged one after another, but how many of them imitated Wang Xizhi? " Yang chendao.
Mr. Ye is thoughtful.
"All the outstanding calligraphy works in the world, which are highly appraised, have their own unique characteristics, such as Yan Zhenqing and Zhao Mengfu, who are all original. Because everyone has his own style, blindly imitate others, can only draw tiger than cat, in the end, neither fish nor fowl, buried his own style
After listening to Yang Chen's words, Mr. Ye felt as if he was on the top of his head. He wanted to clap his legs and exclaimed, "good! That's great! That's right
Ye Laozi excitedly pulled Yang Chen and said, "what's my style? What direction should we go
Yang Chen shook his head, looked at the works hanging in the rooms around him, and said, "what's your own style? You should explore it by yourself instead of being told by others. But I can give you a direction. "
Yang Chen thinks that Mr. Ye has been obsessed with Wang Xizhi's calligraphy for a long time. The house is full of wild grass. It will be very difficult to find his own direction. After all, he is old, and it will be very difficult to find a clear direction.
"Say it." Ye Laozi excitedly looks like a child, eagerly way.
Yang Chen thought about it and said, "have you ever seen the works of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty?"
"Li Shimin?" After thinking about it, master Ye flashed a light in his eyes and said in a hurry: "I have his hot spring inscription! Wait a minute
Immediately, Mr. Ye went to look for the inscriptions.
After a while, ye took it and handed it to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen opened his eyes and nodded: "that's it. Li Shimin also likes Wang Xizhi's works very much, so his works have been seriously affected, which is similar to what you have now. But Li Shimin is the king of a country. His calligraphy has its own characteristics and combines the essence of many calligraphers at that time. You can learn from it. "
"Good! Good! Good Master Ye immediately studied the calligraphy carefully.
Yang Chen looks at Ye Laozi this appearance, can't help but wry smile way: "Laozi, I come to look for you to have other business son."
"Ah?" Ye Laozi is a Leng, looking up at Yang Chen, suddenly way: "Oh! yes! Yeah! Where are you going, elder
Mr. Ye finally remembered.
Yang Chen nodded.
Mr. ye put down the calligraphy, thought about it, frowned and said, "what do you think he asked you to do?"
Yang Chen shakes his head, "I think it's related to shangqingzong."
"Yesterday..." Mr. Ye hesitated and said: "yesterday, the people of shangqingzong went to the artificial sea."
Yang Chen nodded, not surprised at all.
"Those patrols in nietai mountain, and those that appear, as well as the people in black you said..." Mr. Ye looked at Yang chendao.
