Chapter 316: Innocent Child
Next to the wood carving is a small piece of seal inscription.
This is a short essay called "Innocence". There are a number of words written in it, which is very different from today, not to mention that TV viewers can't understand it, and several judges who are not good at seal style can't understand it.
So Cheng Zikun, the judge of the seal book, read it carefully first, and then read it to the other judges, "The child has a nest, the banyan tree is knotted, the grass is not lost, the old rafters of the pengmen are open, the Qingxuan does not see things, and the net insects weave hundreds of lines......"
After reading the whole article, the 10 judges can probably understand that this short essay describes the home of an innocent child, her home is next to a banyan tree, the grass covers the threshold, the door is broken, the windows are blue-black, you can't see the outside, and there are cobwebs everywhere......
The content is set against Liu Yan's small paintings, and the article is quite in the style of Han Dynasty prose, with retro and simple wording, short and concise.
Her lettering skills are also quite profound, not as meticulous as other woodcarvers on the scene, she is very casual with every stroke, she does not look back when she goes down, and the force is controlled just right, for her, there is no difference between taking a knife to engrave words and writing on paper with a brush.
The judges of the lettering group took a magnifying glass to look at her carvings carefully, and were amazed, such a smooth woodcut would not have been possible without years of training.
But then again, the lettering is good, the small paintings are interesting, the articles are well written, and the overall layout is beautiful, but what does this have to do with the "Han style"?
Chen Jianqiu couldn't help but ask the questions in everyone's hearts.
Liu Yan explained, "Last Friday, I went to the Weiyang Palace Film and Television Base with Zhou Buyan, and that place completely restored the former Weiyang Palace. But this kind of life is too far away from us, even now, how many people can live such an arrogant and lascivious life? I think that the 'Han style' not only includes the glory and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, but also should have the style of ordinary people. ”
Another judge asked, "So, you saw this child's living environment in the film and television base?"
Liu Yan shook her head, "This is what I imagined." I thought there must be a dark and ugly side in Weiyang Palace, but I walked all over the film and television base, but I found nothing. The experts and architects restored the beautiful side of the palace, only forgetting that there were a much larger number of 'inferior' people in the palace, who may be low-class slaves, eunuchs, felons in prisons, or abandoned concubines in cold palaces. So I imagined that I was a child living in the corner of the palace, and that my home had blue windows and blurred doors, gilded rafters and sun-dried grass......"
Liu Yan's words persuaded the judges, but Yu Zhan was surging with turbulence, he had some doubts before, but at this moment he could 100% conclude that Liu Yan was the little girl, he stared at her face in disbelief, trying to find what she and the little girl had in common.
The two of them didn't look like each other at all.
But the tone and demeanor of their speech are exactly the same.
No wonder he felt that the little girl was like Liu Yan in his dream, and it was not an illusion.
Cheng Zikun said, "No wonder you wrote at the end of the article 'Changle Weiyang, lovesickness is not forgotten', I also thought, living in such an environment, how can you 'Changle Weiyang', it turns out that you are referring to Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, you write 'Han Feng' from the perspective of the bottom of the palace, the idea is quite peculiar." ”
Chen Jianqiu said, "It is true that the sword goes off the beaten path and does not take the usual path." "So far, the other people's works have used beautiful words to praise the celebrities of the Han Dynasty, or the greatness of the Han Dynasty.
Because of Su Xuezhen's matter, Wang Qinghai, who had been low-key and didn't dare to speak casually, suddenly asked Liu Yan, "Your subject matter doesn't have to be woodcut, your painting can also be drawn with a brush, why do you have to choose woodcut instead of paper?"
Wang Qinghai meant that Liu Yan was suspected of deliberately showing off her skills and pretending to be forced.
Chen Jianqiu, who was on the side, was annoyed by Wang Qinghai, and wondered why Vice President Ouyang Cen also canceled his judges. Since it is a free part of the competition, of course, it is to show your own housekeeping skills, it is difficult to pretend to be low-key and hidden, so there is no need to come to this exhibition.
In the face of Wang Qinghai's embarrassment, Liu Yan said calmly, "Because the title is 'Han style', the people at the bottom of the Han Palace are very poor, and they usually can't touch paper. And I think everyone had the experience of scribbling on the table when they were young, and I depicted it on the table, which is just in line with the nature of my protagonist. ”
Liu Yan's explanation was very convincing, and one of the judges of the seal carving group laughed, "So your work is an innocent child's graffiti?"
Liu Yan nodded yes.
The judges whispered to each other, then wrote down their scores and evaluations for Liu Yan on a piece of paper, and then went to judge the next work.
After that, the judges did not encounter any works that particularly interested or refreshing them, until they saw Zhou Buxian's cursive works.
Zhou Buyin's work is called "Western Regions".
He skillfully wrote the twenty-eight countries of the Western Regions into a seven-character poem, exactly fifty-six words, alternating between flat and square, and strict rhythm.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"The cursive writing is also exquisite!"
The judges were amazed.
Not to mention that Zhou Buyan can write a poem in such a short period of time with fixed words and fixed rhymes, and talk about memorizing the names of twenty-eight countries in the Western Regions, and generally few people can do it.
The judges did not have any doubts about Zhou Buxian, and directly scored and wrote comments.
By noon, the judging of all the authors' works was finally over. Next is the unified time, and the staff enters the venue to assist the judges to save time.
The authors still had to stand at their respective tables and wait, and they couldn't move, and old men like Su Yi and Ouyang Cen, as well as the leaders, couldn't stand standing for a long time, and someone brought them chairs to rest and brought hot tea.
Television presenters and photographers seized the opportunity to visit authors they were interested in.
They first went straight to Liu Yan,
"Hello, can I ask you a few questions?" Facing Liu Yan at close range, the host looked a little excited, she was a woman, and she was also excited!
Liu Yan bowed her head, "Of course you can." ”
The host took out the prepared question draft and asked, "When did you start learning calligraphy and seal carving?"
"I learned seal carving first, when I was about three or four years old. ”
"I can't believe that many children as young as three or four years old now have to be fed by their parents behind them. ”
