Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Genius in Calligraphy
What is calligraphy, which is the art of hieroglyphs born in China.
In ancient times, sound could not be transmitted in other places, but stayed in different times, so words were born. Words, so for the traces of meaning and sound.
This is a wordless poem, an invisible dance, a pictureless painting, and a silent music.
Xia Ge's head is straight, looking forward slightly, his body is straight, his shoulders are level, his arms are naturally open, and he holds a pen in his right hand and presses the paper with his left hand in a balanced manner.
The five fingers of his right hand press, press, hook, top, and hold the brush respectively.
This battle made people who knew calligraphy serious, and it seemed that Xia Ge was definitely a veteran who had been immersed in calligraphy for many years.
"It should have been practiced, and you can see the way he holds the pen, exactly as the ancient law says. Modern calligraphy is actually slightly different, and Xia Ge's should be based on the method of Wang Xizhi's teacher, Mrs. Wei. Director Jin sighed.
"It's up to him to see if he's a showman. Others also said.
Calligraphy, Xia Guangshou is not proficient. It's just that I've seen a lot of works, and at least the level of appreciation is still there.
As soon as Xia Ge put down his pen, he saw that this was Wang Shizhen's Zhenzhou quatrain.
Jianggan is mostly fishing people's dwellings, and the area around Liumo Lingtang is sparse.
Fortunately, after the wind settled, the mangroves in the middle of the river sold perch.
There are a total of five quatrains in Zhenzhou, and this summer song is written in cursive.
The second song uses the same small block as the original one found in Lynch's diary.
In fact, Wang Shizhen's calligraphy fame is not as great as other achievements. It is not like Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing and contemporary Zheng Banqiao, Weng Fanggang, Liu Yong, Wang Wenzhi, Liang Tongshu and other calligraphy are famous.
But just as the Qing Dynasty scholars, Liang Zhangsaw said, "Mr. does not use the title of the book, but also has no intention of books, and the soft and casual has the flavor of the Jin and Tang Dynasties"
In the eyes of Curator Jin, Xia Ge was like Wang Shizhen possessed at this time. As the director of the Magic City Museum, he also studied Wang Shizhen's calligraphy.
Xia Ge wrote five poems, each with a different style. But it's all Wang Shizhen's style.
From his frank and wild early years, to chic and handsome after middle age, elegant and long. Xia Ge did it perfectly.
If the paper is worn, add a stamp. Director Jin believes that it is absolutely possible to confuse the real with the fake.
There are many calligraphy works handed down in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are countless fakes. This is also because there are too many people like Xia Ge who can write a person's calligraphy and can't distinguish it.
Put the pen away, take a deep breath.
Xia Ge has completed five works, and he can no longer write. Just now, I used the skill of [Wang Shizhen's brush]. Wang Shizhen possessed the body, and he was completely authentically passed on to calligraphy.
Even Xia Ge didn't know these lines of poetry before, but when he held the brush, he automatically wrote it with his wrist when he wanted to. It's like the wrist has wisdom on its own.
"Store Manager Lin, Director Jin, take a look. Xia Ge said with a smile.
Director Jin had already admired the five-body body to the ground, and he put a few pieces of paper on the table and asked him to write it, and it was impossible to have its charm.
This is Wang Shizhen alive!
Lin Tao couldn't see the level, he only felt that the writing was good, no worse than the real handwriting, and his poor adjectives could no longer describe his heart.
can only use countless grooves to express the mood.
is also a peer, why are you so good Xia Ge?
"Director Jin, what level do you think this is?" Lin Tao still asked.
"The first few are like Wang Shizhen's works when he was young, but the latter ones are more mature, like Wang Shizhen's works in his later years. To be honest, purely from the level, this authentic work can only be regarded as Wang Shizhen's middle-aged work, not his peak. ”
And Xia Ge's five characters encompass his early, noon, and late periods. I can't really rate it. Director Jin sighed as he spoke.
There are really geniuses in this world, and people can achieve such results in calligraphy at a young age. And he hasn't entered this realm yet.
Lin Tao looked at a few more words, and the more he looked at them, the more satisfied he became.
Several other experts also offered their views, all of course, in praise. Nor do they dare to tell lies in their conscience.
Not to mention that they are filming a show, these words are recorded, just because there is a knowledgeable Xia Guangshou next to him, and Zhao Zhang, the manager of the calligraphy and painting shop, they don't dare to talk nonsense.
can only be said realistically, this level is really Wang Shizhen alive.
"I really didn't expect you to be able to write calligraphy. I remember you asked your grandfather before, who is Wang Shizhen, but you know his words? Why is that?" Lin Tao was a little puzzled and incredulous.
Xia Ge is really hard to explain, after all, he really didn't know Wang Shizhen before.
"Hey, boy, my grandson is afraid that I'm going to have Alzheimer's, so I'll just be tested. Xia Guangshou said.
He could see that Xia Ge was a little short of words, and there was a lot of delay in the antique street today, Xia Guangshou continued: "Shopkeeper Lin, my grandson's handwriting is okay?"
"Of course. Lin Tao nodded, no longer dwelling on the question of why Xia Ge was so powerful.
"In that case, use these pieces of paper instead, and burn them to your grandfather. Wang Shizhen's authentic handwritings, old man, I want to keep them for appreciation, so I won't sell them. Xia Guangshou said bluntly.
It's all about this, and Lin Tao can only approve it.
He could guess the behavior of these two grandchildren later, and he was also afraid that he would burn the antiquities, and he was worried that he would retaliate. Lin Tao really wanted to explain that he was really not a person who liked revenge.
"In that case, Xia Ge, you still give me the card number, since you didn't want to receive 1 million from the diary before, then I'll use 1 million to buy these few characters of yours!" Lin Tao thought for a while and said.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and 5 words were 1 million. Xia Ge is only in his 20s, and his calligraphy works have reached such a high price.
For a while, everyone was envious.
Combined with the previous harvest, Xia Ge had more than 11 million harvests in just one afternoon. Even buying lottery tickets didn't happen so quickly.
This time, Xia Ge didn't refuse, he could use Wang Shizhen's possession skills. It's okay to say that this is genuine. He decisively reported his bank card number.
Today is also a coincidence, and he also knows that his words will not have this price in the future. Unless he goes to forgery, imitating Wang Shizhen's calligraphy and selling it at the price of the original.
exchanged contact information with Lin Tao again, and the calligraphy finally came to an end.
Hu Jing is very satisfied that the program filmed today is enough to edit the first and second episodes.
The program can be interspersed with Pu Songling's introduction to Wang Shizhen's calligraphy appreciation and other links, and the most important thing is to highlight the magic of Xia Ge.
Xia Ge left a phone call, and there may be an interview in the future. I'll have a coffee when the show is done. Hu Jing said.
"Okay. Xia Ge nodded.
This show can put a talented person on his head, and Xia Ge has no reason to refuse.
In the end, Zhao Zhang also stepped forward and invited: "Xia Ge, I sincerely invite you to join the Modu Calligraphy Association. ”
"I'm too young to be good enough. Xia Ge said modestly.
"Haha, boy, you can go to their association and give lectures to those members. Don't be overly modest. Curator Jin patted Xia Ge on the shoulder and laughed.
"Okay, then I'll join. But I'm only going to be back in Rongcheng in a few days. Xia Ge finally said.
Zhao Zhang nodded, he believed that with Xia Ge's strength, the rest of the association would not say anything.
