Chapter 252: Calligraphy
Zheng Yun had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow into the study, and Hu Shiling, Zhang Yuan, and Zhao Jing also followed.
Zheng Yun also noticed before that the decoration of Gao's house is also quite classical, with Chinese paintings and calligraphy works hanging everywhere, and the room is full of scholarly atmosphere.
But all the furniture is completely classical, there are pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the mahogany bookcase, various calligraphy and painting scrolls are placed in the large vat, and there are also many calligraphy and painting works on the four walls.
At the beginning of his father's cultivation and requirements, he practiced calligraphy for five hours a day from the age of five to ten years old, and worked hard for five years.
He only learned some sketching techniques and stick figures in painting, which was far inferior to calligraphy.
As the saying goes, if you don't write for three days, that means that no matter how many years you have practiced calligraphy, as long as you don't touch the brush for a few days, your hands will tremble when you write again, and the strokes will not be stable.
Therefore, he was really afraid that the other party would let him show his hands a few times at this time.
Gao Mu didn't wait to speak, Xu Meijia pointed to a calligraphy work, and asked with a smile: "Zheng Yun, I wrote this work, what do you think?"
Zheng Yun was really afraid that the other party's writing was very good, beyond his eyesight, but when he saw the words, he was relieved, but when he saw that the work was written like a dog's scratch, how disgusting and disgusting.
In any case, he had five years of hard training, and he was still clear about some of the stages of progress in the process of practicing calligraphy.
In particular, his father also taught him a lot of calligraphy in the process, and even if he can't write now, he can still write a few words in the vernacular.
He saw that the other party wrote a regular script in the style of Yan Ti, but it was really disgusting.
First of all, the strokes are frivolous and boring, almost all of them are large and biased, while calligraphy is mainly based on the center of the pen, requiring the strokes to be strong.
In addition, the thickness of the strokes between a word is extremely incongruous, and the words are deliberately written crookedly, large and small, and the big words are several times larger than the small words.
In the end, Xu Meijia looks very fashionable and beautiful, but the word looks high-flying and hateful, like a ghost.
Zheng Yun looked at it and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Isn't it badly written!" Xu Meijia asked a little embarrassed.
"What a writing!" Zheng Yun laughed unceremoniously.
What he said was too polite, and he didn't save face, Xu Meijia's face was hot, and she was very embarrassed.
Zheng Yun smiled: "We are relatives, so I won't be polite to you, besides, I'm very angry about this kind of calligraphy now!"
Hearing Zheng Yun say this, Xu Meijia's embarrassed expression eased a lot, and said with a smile: "Please also ask Teacher Zheng for advice!"
Although Zheng Yun has not touched a brush for many years, he also pays a little attention to things like calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and he also pays attention to relevant news reports for a while.
He knew that the current calligraphy world was in chaos, and those so-called calligraphers wrote nonsense, deliberately writing characters in strange shapes, and even more disgusting, some wrote with their eyes closed, those who sprayed lines with needles and tubes, those who wrote with mop, those who dipped ink in their hair, and those who wrote with their tongues.
It's okay if you do that, it's performance art, but these people think they're doing calligraphy, and that's disgusting.
What's even more annoying is that when those funny "masters" are "writing", there are still many people applauding, and these masters don't blush, their hearts don't beat, and they start the performance with care.
Every time Zheng Yun saw this, he wanted to grab the master's hair and kick him in the face a few times.
Zheng Yun said these thoughts, and finally said that Xu Meijia must have been influenced by those "masters" and had some characteristics.
After listening to this, Gao's mother seemed to have found a colleague, and smiled at Xu Meijia: "Little sister, I'll just say that you can't write it right, you can't learn traditional things, what kind of innovation!"
Xu Meijia seemed to have been deeply poisoned, but she was still not convinced, and said: "Which great calligrapher in history didn't have his own unique style? If everyone writes the same, then what is there to see!"
"I can't talk about you, anyway, I just don't think you can write like this! Zheng Yun, what do you say?"
Zheng Yun said: "What is unique or not, you want to be the same as what Wang Xizhi wrote now, are you still you? What kind of company do you open, just write a word and sell it for tens of millions, but can you be the same as Wang Xizhi?"
Gao's mother covered her mouth and laughed a few times, and said, "It's still good what Zheng Yun said!"
Xu Meijia frowned slightly, as if she was in a contradiction, not knowing whether it was better to inherit the tradition or innovate.
After a while, she still said: "But do modern people have to learn from Wang Xizhi? Isn't it good to create a unique style?"
Zheng Yun thought for a while and said, "I don't know if it's good or not, anyway, I've seen so many innovative ones, except for disgusting, I haven't seen any good ones." If you are willing to innovate, you can create, and Tu Yile will do it, hehe......"
Xu Meijia has been innovating for several years, and many "masters" have praised her for making great progress, but she didn't expect to be said by Zheng Yun to be nothing, and she was still very depressed in her heart.
Gao Mu smiled and said, "Zheng Yun, look at this, I wrote it!"
Zheng Yun saw that Gao's mother wrote a European script, and he practiced European style at the beginning.
To say that the European style is called the extreme rule of regular script by the calligraphers of the past dynasties, that is, in terms of regular script, the European style is the most standardized and dignified, and the regular calligraphy has been developed to the extreme.
However, the European style script is also the most difficult to practice, Zheng Yun was not good at practicing calligraphy, and he was so angry that he broke more than a dozen brushes, which shows that he has a great temper since he was a child, and he is not suitable for practicing calligraphy at all.
Compared with other styles, Zheng Yun knows the most about European sports, looked at it, and said, "Auntie, this European body has three or four years of skill. ”
"Amazing! Auntie practiced European style at the beginning of the calligraphy, and it has been exactly four years today!
Zheng Yun looked at it again and said, "Auntie, the brush is the most particular about using the center, I see that many of your words are biased, this is not good, there is no ...... No bones!
If it is a center, the strokes will have a three-dimensional effect, and if it is a bias front, the writing will be flaky and not good-looking. ”
Gao Mu nodded again and again, and said, "Why is it always wrong for me to write it, I don't have any brilliance!"
Xu Meijia disagreed, saying that her teacher said that if you want a center forward, you should also be a forward, so that you can be colorful.
Zheng Yun said: "Let me ask you, why is calligraphy called calligraphy?"
Xu Meijia thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't say it.
Zheng Yun said, doesn't it have a 'law' word, just like when you play chess, the rules are set by others, and everyone plays according to this rule.
For example, the rules for the use of brushes and structural strokes in the center were set by ancient calligraphers, and now you change those rules in a mess, who will play with you?
"yes!" Xu Meijia smiled and nodded, and after a while, she had to ask Zheng Yun to write a work on the spot.
When Gao's mother saw that Zheng Yun really knew calligraphy, she was more and more impressed with him, thinking that this little Zheng is really magical, can be "fierce", can be "elegant", and is still a business wizard!
Thinking of this, her eyes showed a look of appreciation.
