The venue was quiet, and no one spoke anymore.

Ouyang Cen and two middle-aged men with considerable aura walked to the front, Ouyang Cen of the Dao Bone Fairy Wind was still wearing a gray robe, while the other two were dressed in formal clothes, shirts and trousers, which was the standard dress of officials.

One of them is the mayor of the ancient city, and the other is a very big person, the deputy minister of culture at the upper level, surnamed Guo.

Seeing this person, there was a trace of surprise in Yu Zhan's eyes,

Yu Zhan is standing with a group of middle-aged and elderly literati and writers at the moment, saying that he has no sense of existence, he is the youngest and best-looking, saying that he has a sense of existence, in this artistic environment, only he is not a person in the circle.

The mayor of Gudu first took the stage to deliver a speech, reading according to the manuscript written in advance, or those officialdom clichés, "implement XXX", "adhere to XXX", "honor and thank the National Calligraphy Association for choosing the ancient capital as the venue" Yunyun, a long speech for about ten minutes.

Everyone listened patiently and finally finished,

Next, it was Vice Minister Guo's turn to speak, he did not have a script, and gave an impromptu speech on the spot, he first introduced the current country's cultural work orientation, one is to insist on innovation, and the other is to promote traditional culture.

Then he said, "I just observed the candidates in the scene, and there are only a handful of young faces, so can't the younger generation write calligraphy? I don't think so, it's that they can't sit down and learn." In today's society, there are endless new things for people to entertain, so that young people have completely lost interest in the things left by their ancestors, and even very young children are playing with their mobile phones.

I hope that the success of this calligraphy exhibition will make more people realize that traditional culture is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of countless people from ancient times to the present, and is the most precious heritage left to us by our ancestors, and they are treasures and the quintessence of the country! We have the obligation and responsibility to inherit them and carry them forward. ”

Vice Minister Guo's speech made the young audience in front of the TV very ashamed, because they were the younger generation he was referring to.

That's right, if it weren't for the goddess of Hanfu, they wouldn't know about this calligraphy exhibition at all, even if they are watching the live broadcast now, it is mostly a part of the fun, and few people really know calligraphy. Even if some people learned calligraphy as children, they didn't stick to it and gave up.

Vice Minister Guo's speech was thought-provoking, and Yu Zhan also applauded him warmly at the scene.

The last speaker was Ouyang Cen, "I just said that Minister Guo said about the cultural fault problem, and by extension, I said a few words, thirty years ago calligraphy exhibition, I was one of the judges, more than half of the exhibitors at that time were young people in their twenties and thirties, and now most of them are already famous calligraphers, and they are the backbone of China's calligraphy, but in this session, there are only 2 finalists left in this age group, I am afraid that in another 30 years, our generation is gone, the backbone generation is also old, and the next generation will have heirs?

The first time we tried to cooperate with the media for live broadcast, we want everyone to understand that calligraphy is not as advanced as you think, it is actually a daily art, everyone can get started, and it does take talent to become a calligrapher, but it is very easy to take calligraphy as a hobby to cultivate temperament, and I hope that more people can like calligraphy and try to write calligraphy. ”

The camera gave Ouyang Cen a close-up, the white-haired old man with a sympathetic expression, he was really worried about calligraphy, and there was no successor.

Even those netizens who watched the mobile phone broadcast in the live broadcast room stopped babbling, stopped commenting, and quietly listened to the old man's teachings.

After Ouyang Cen finished speaking, he announced the official start of the competition.

Judge Chen Jianqiu first read out the rules of the competition: the mobile phone must be turned off, the creation time is 90 minutes, according to the different categories of the participants' works, they prepared a page of rice paper or a piece of original stone or a wooden plaque for each participant, that is to say, everyone only has one chance to create, if you make a mistake, you can't regret it again.

The 10 judges began to discuss the question on the spot, each of them first thought of a topic, wrote it down, and finally 10 people voted to choose the most suitable topic.

A seal carving judge from the capital announced the final title: "Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, when the emperor was on the throne, he first built the capital Luoyang, and soon moved to Chang'an, known as the Western Han Dynasty, since then, the first prosperous dynasty in history has begun." Since we are all in 'Chang'an' at this moment, we should be more deeply touched when we recall this period of history, so please use the way you are best at describing the 'Han style' in your impression. ”

After speaking, the venue was still very quiet, and everyone was recalling the judges' words and carefully reviewing the questions.

The onlookers were also thinking about this topic. Su Yi believes that the topic is not difficult, but it also means that everyone can create a work with their own ideas, unless the point of view is particularly clear and different, in order to stand out.

Yu Zhan didn't have any special feelings about the Han Dynasty before, Han was the same as the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it was nothing more than the name of the country at a specific time, but now when he heard the 'Han style', he subconsciously thought of the little girl in his dream, as well as the magnificent Weiyang Palace, and those characters who shuttled through the palace in all kinds of ways.

Liu Yan was also thinking about Weiyang Palace.

The so-called "Han style" to her, is just a small world in the corner of Weiyang Palace, those eloquent emperors, the great achievements of the ancient and modern are also far away from her, she has not seen the prosperous scene of the Han Dynasty, all her cognition of the outside world comes from Mrs. Xu's books and the narration of the ladies of the cold palace.

Liu Yan is in a predicament, she doesn't know what she can write, and writing things that everyone knows, isn't it a cliché and has no possibility of winning awards.

And a few quick-thinking entrants have already begun to put pen to paper or go under the knife.

Zhou Buyan was also thinking about it, the reason why he was entangled was because he could write too many things, as a native of the ancient capital, he was able to dictate the history of the Han Dynasty according to the year and events when he was six years old, and it was very simple for him to write a "Han style".

Wu Qu started writing with confidence, and during his retreat, he pondered a lot of topics, including a topic similar to "Han style", he was considered to have won the question, and he had prepared in advance, and the writing was naturally very smooth.

The photographer of the TV station saw that Wu Qu's writing posture was fast and beautiful, so he took the camera and walked up to him, wanting to give him a close-up.
