Debut After Eight Years - Chapter 589
In the capital, a courtyard house.
This courtyard has been meticulously renovated, as if it is like the palace of the princes and nobles on TV, with various quaint mahogany decorations and furniture.
In the study, a thin old man was standing in front of the desk, holding a brush in his hand, calmly, his arms were strong, and he wrote calligraphy letters one by one on the white paper on the table.
There were two people standing around, an old man in a kimono and a middle-aged man.
The old man in kimono stood beside the old man who was writing and watched closely, while the middle-aged man stood not far behind with a respectful expression, as if he was not qualified to stand in front.
The emaciated old man waved his arms and brushes on the paper like dragons and snakes. One after another incomparable cursive writing appeared. On the paper, it seemed that instead of calligraphy fonts, dragons and snakes were dancing wildly, and most people would not recognize them at all. What is the character of , but you can also feel a crazy and rhythmic artistic conception contained in it.
Obviously, this old man is a master of cursive calligraphy.
His arms were shaking and he was full of energy. One after another, the cursive fonts appeared one after another, and he put down the brush only after writing the entire sheet of paper. The whole person was full of freedom and arrogance, and a smile appeared on his face.
The old man in kimono next to him immediately clapped his hands lightly and praised: “Mr. Han is indeed the number one master of cursive calligraphy in China. If you take out this work, it will definitely arouse everyone’s madness.”
The emaciated old man’s name is Han Zhao. He is the calligraphy master known as the first cursive calligraphy master. In his early years, he was a professor of the Shuimu Chinese Department. , is one of the leading figures in the field of calligraphy in China, the real master of cursive calligraphy, not the bragging masters of cursive calligraphy on the Internet. Li Xiyan is a little higher than Li Xiyan in terms of seniority and seniority, and is on an equal footing with Lin Xizhan.
And the old man in kimono is exactly what Wencang Jian mentioned. Mingze Jibu, one of the three major Wenzongs of the island country, is good at writing poetry, calligraphy, and Chinese painting, and is also proficient in rhythm. One of the most versatile in the field of island literature today.
Mingze Jibu and Han Zhao have known each other decades ago. Mingze Jibu also came to the capital for a period of study tour in two top schools, Huaxia Jingda and Shuimu. He became friends with Han Zhao and kept in touch for many years, so he came to Beijing After that, he lived in Han Zhao’s house.
Hearing Mingze’s swift praise, Han Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, “I’m old, I’m not as arrogant as I was when I was young.”
Cursive script, if you want to write more artistic conception and flavor, it is indeed written when you are young and arrogant, and it has more artistic conception.
However, Han Zhao’s cursive calligraphy is more old-fashioned first. There is old hotness in the arrogance, just like the growth process of a person. His work, a character has reached the price of tens of thousands, and is one of the most valuable among the living calligraphy masters.
The middle-aged man behind said: “The teacher’s cursive calligraphy works have been listed as one of the library collections by the two universities of Beijing University and Shuimu, and the National Museum has also been included in the collection, which is called one of the contemporary cultural treasures.”
Among the contemporary masters of Sinology, there are only a handful of people who have achieved such achievements!
Mingze hurriedly smiled and said, “Hahaha, I will definitely treasure the two works that Mr. Han gave me as heirlooms in our family.”
Han Zhao smiled and said: “Mr. Mingze is too famous. If you want to say that the most valuable works are Wang Qian. One of his works has been hyped to five million in the market. The National Museum is also planning to collect him. His works, he has such achievements at his age, it can be said that he is the first person in the contemporary era.”
In Han Zhao’s words, he recognized and admired Wang Qian very much.
He has also watched all of Wang Qian’s live broadcasts, and even quietly went to Zhejiang University and Shuangxing. After seeing Wang Qian’s handwriting and works, he naturally knew that Wang Qian’s strength and talent could be called a monster.
Mingze hurriedly listened to Han Zhao’s words, shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. Mr. Han, you are the first person in cursive calligraphy, and my calligraphy can be considered good. We all know how much it takes to achieve success in calligraphy. Work hard. How long did it take you? I remember that you were in your fifties when you became a master of cursive calligraphy! I only touched the threshold of master calligraphy three years ago, and I am already seventy years old. Do you really think that Wang Qian is only thirty years old At the age of three, can you create a calligraphy font like the thin gold body? Become the only contemporary calligraphy master?”
“Also, each of the works he wrote requires profound life experience. There are also pure feminine graceful words like Zuihuayin and Yijianmei. How could he, a big man, write so profoundly and delicately?”
Han Zhao came to the mahogany Taishi chair and sat down in two steps, picked up the tea prepared next to him, took a sip, then raised his head and glanced at Ming Ze hurriedly, and asked lightly, “So, Mr. Ming Ze, do you want to? say what?”
Mingze said with a little seriousness: “I think this is a situation. A situation where many people create and build momentum for Wang Qian. Maybe the official end. What do you think?”
Han Zhao glanced at Mingze quickly and asked, “We are not good at poetry and poetry, so let’s not talk about it for the time being. Let’s talk about calligraphy, then do you think who has the ability to create calligraphy fonts like thin gold and become a master of the generation? Who is so generous to give Wang Qian the name of such a generation of masters?”
“Back then, when I entered the threshold of masters, I was as arrogant as the cursive calligraphy I wrote. I wanted to surpass my predecessors, create my own calligraphy fonts, and achieve the status of the first calligraphy master for hundreds of years. However, I Up to now, it has taken more than ten or twenty years, and there is no sign of it.”
“I also understand why there have only been so many calligraphy masters for thousands of years? That’s really the star of Wenqu.”
Mingze was silent for a while, and then continued: “Then, what if there is an official force behind it?”
Han Zhao asked back, “For what? Why was Wang Qian selected?”
Mingze said loudly and swiftly: “In order to create a grassroots myth that the whole people pay attention to, in order to overwhelm the inheritance of Chinese culture in our island country…”
Han Zhao smiled, shook his head and said, “Mingze rushes, you think too much. We, China, have always been suppressing the Chinese culture of your island country! You have been learning from us, and you will always be just students.”
Mingze Jibu was silent at first, but his eyes showed a look of unyielding defeat.
The middle-aged man also said softly: “Mr. Mingze, this time Wang Qian will come to our Shuimu to give lectures in addition to his lectures at Yangyin and Beijing University in Beijing. You have ample opportunities to find out the truth. Moreover, according to me As far as I know, Mr. Wencang Jian, who is also one of the three major Wenzongs, came from your island country to visit Wang Qian today.”
“The one who went with me was Mr. Lin Xizhan from Hong Kong Island.”
The middle-aged man only mentioned Wen Cangjian and Lin Xizhan, because in his and Han Zhao’s view, only these two are qualified to mention.
Others, not even Li Xiyan are qualified.
After all, Li Xiyan is not a pure literati, but a musician and a calligrapher. At the same time, he has only recently become a new master of calligraphy, and he has become a new master of thin gold calligraphy under the tutelage of Wang Qian.
At the same time, Li Xiyan is one of the vice presidents of the Beijing Calligraphy Association, but Han Zhao is the president of the Calligraphy Association, and he is the only president, but there are several vice presidents.
Therefore, regardless of status, qualifications, or strength, Han Zhao never took Li Xiyan in his eyes.
Only Wen Cangjian, who is also one of the three major Wenzongs of the island country, and Lin Xizhan, the first line of calligraphy in the south, are qualified to be compared with Han Zhao.
Han Zhao said softly, “Wen Cangjian’s calligraphy and Chinese painting are both outstanding, and Lin Xizhan’s running script has touched the limit of a master. They are all people who concentrate on studying. However, they are too eager to see Wang Qian…”
A trace of contempt flashed in Han Zhao’s eyes.
No matter how popular Wang Qian is recently and how good his works are, in Han Zhao’s view, he is just a junior with no background. How can he be qualified to have seniors like them come to visit?
Wen Cangjian and Lin Xizhan have surrendered their identities.
It should be Wang Qian who sent Bai Tie to visit them.
Mingze hurriedly shook his head and said, “Wen Cangjian will not expose Wang Qian. Lin Xizhan’s so-called first line of writing in the south has a lot of moisture… As far as I know, there are people in Nanyang and Baodao who are not inferior to Lin Xizhan. Although the two old men of the Kong family and Li family are low-key, they are very powerful…”
Mentioning the Chinese Sinology families in Baodao and Nanyang, Han Zhao smiled without saying a word, still with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Because he is Han Zhao, he is a teacher from a famous school, and he has a family background. He is a leader in the cultural circle of the capital, and he has a natural sense of superiority when facing the masters of Chinese studies in other regions.
Even the Confucius family, he didn’t look at it.
Several people are chatting.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came, and then the door was pushed open.
A middle-aged man walked in with a young woman. He looked at Han Zhao and Mingze trotting fast. The middle-aged man said respectfully, “Mr. Han, Mr. Mingze. I just heard some news.”
Seeing that the visitor was so anxious, Han Zhao took a sip from the tea cup again, and then asked, “What’s the matter, so anxious? You must not be impatient at any time in your studies.”
The middle-aged man said quickly: “I heard from a friend of Beijing University that Mr. Lin Xizhan, Xue Zhenguo, Zhao Shuren, Wen Cangjian, and Li Xiyan have left from Wang Qian. There are also Jia Fuqing and Zhang Yue from Northwest China. , the news came from Zhang Yue and Jia Fuqing.”
Han Zhao’s expression became serious.
Mingze hurriedly asked expectantly, “Did Wang Qian lose when they met with Wang Qian for a discussion?”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said seriously: “According to Zhang Yue, their gathering this morning was only a competition.”
Only one session?
Han Zhao and Ming Ze walked with curiosity on their faces.
In their opinion, Wen Cangjian and Lin Xizhan are both leading figures in their respective regions. If they came to visit Wang Qian, it must be a bad visitor. They should learn from each other and cause Wang Qian a little trouble.
Therefore, there will be at least two discussions.
Why, there is only one session?
Mingze hurriedly asked happily, “Wang Qian lost one game, so there is no second game, right?”
The young woman behind the middle-aged man said quickly: “Of course not, it is said that Mr. Wencangjian and Professor Wang Qian were discussing calligraphy and Chinese painting, and Mr. Wencangjian used the inspiration he had accumulated over the years to bring out the peak of his creation. work.”
Han Zhao said impatiently, “Yueling, tell me directly what happened.”
The young woman is Han Zhao’s granddaughter, Han Yueling, who is currently a doctoral student in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature in Shuimu. Hearing her grandfather’s impatience and seeing Mingze’s urgency, she immediately said: “Then, Professor Wang Qian also created a scene on the spot. The vice traditional Chinese painting also wrote a poem in thin gold calligraphy on it, called Wanglu Mountain Waterfall, the poem is, the sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in the Qianchuan from a distance. ”
Hearing this poem, the eyes of several people present lit up.
Everyone is a master and an expert in the field of Sinology. Even if they can’t write good ancient poems, their appreciation skills are absolutely top-notch. Naturally, they can hear at a glance that this poem is not ordinary, but an excellent one. Landscape description poems are not inferior to several landscape poems that have been circulated in textbooks through the ages.
The middle-aged man whispered, “As expected of Wang Qian, this poem is really a masterpiece.”
Han Zhao did not comment, and asked again: “And then? Yueling, continue talking.”
Mingze Jibu also had a serious face, and said softly, “Wen Cangjian’s traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy can be said to be among the best in the island country.
Han Yueling smiled after hearing Mingze’s trot, and then said, “Even if Mr. Wen Cangjian is both excellent in calligraphy and painting, he has to worship in front of Professor Wang. Professor Wang’s picture of looking at the Lushan Waterfall and this poem, There is also the final signing, let Mr. Wen Cangjian admit defeat on the spot, and let Mr. Lin Xizhan leave without a word.”
Mingze trotted and stood up with disbelief on his face, and asked, “Why? A painting, a poem, an inscription, why do you do this?”
Han Zhao is also full of curiosity and anticipation: “Go on!”
Han Yueling nodded and said, “I wasn’t there, and I haven’t seen Professor Wang’s painting. However, according to Zhang Yue, that painting is the highest level of Chinese painting he has ever seen. It is not an exaggeration, it is several grades higher than Mr. Wen Cangjian’s paintings, and Mr. Lin Xizhan gave the highest evaluation on the spot, saying that it is an extraordinary painting and a national treasure.”
“This poem is also an excellent landscape poem. Coupled with the calligraphy of the Slender Gold Calligraphy Master, it is of extraordinary value.”
“And the reason why Mr. Lin Xizhan left without writing a word was Professor Wang’s last signature.”
“Zhang Yue described that Professor Wang’s last inscription mentioned Mr. Lin Xizhan, Mr. Wen Cangjian, and Professor Li Xiyan. However, the calligraphy font used is authentic running script calligraphy, and its level and artistic conception are still higher than that of Mr. Lin Xizhan. , so Mr. Lin Xizhan couldn’t write at all.”
This time, Han Zhao stood up in shock, half of the tea in the cup in his hand was spilled, and stared at his granddaughter Han Yueling with wide eyes.
Mingze Jibu shouted loudly: “It’s impossible, it’s impossible! This bragging is too fake…”
