When I was in junior high school, I didn't have a lot of homework, and I finished my homework early in school, and I didn't have to do it until 10 o'clock in the evening, and at that time, I still had a lot of free time.

Most of the time, I like to go to Li Yunshen's house by the ten-mile long lake, especially in summer, the ten-mile long lake is very cool, there is a bamboo forest on the way through Li Yunshen's house, the water in the small stream in the bamboo forest is very cool, I often go to the stream to play with water, and drink two sips of the water in the stream when I am thirsty, because I know that the water in this small stream is nourished by the roots of the thousand-year-old ginseng tree.

Although Li Yunshen's small bungalow is not large, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and what is more valuable is that the furnishings in the room have a bookish atmosphere. Especially in the bedroom on the second floor, there is a study room dedicated to books, and the walls of the study are covered with all kinds of paintings that I have never seen, some of which are ancient paintings, and some are paintings painted by Li Yunshen himself.

I once saw Li Yunshen painting in the study, whether it was the plum snow in winter or the birds on the trees in summer, Li Yunshen could come easily. Even from the perspective of a layman, Li Yunshen's paintings are also very expressive, and with a few brushstrokes, the artistic conception of a bird or a dragonfly can be well expressed, the bird is obviously standing on a branch, and the wings are not open, but the artistic conception of wanting to fly in the sky has jumped on the paper, and this skill makes me, a layman, deeply admire.

- "Grandpa Li, it turns out that you are so good at drawing! And you can write very well, can you teach me?"

Li Yunshen looked at me and said: "Painting actually doesn't need to be taught, as long as you can do it in your heart, this painting will naturally become, painting needs to have a sensitive heart, usually look at it more, when it's okay to take a pen and imitate the surrounding scenery more, you will naturally paint." ”

I'm curious about new things, and I'm naturally interested in this painting. So, if I have nothing to do, I will go to the study on the second floor of Li Yunshen's house to copy some calligraphy and paintings, gradually, I have mastered the basic painting skills, and some paintings, I have already painted well, even Li Yunshen praised me: "Little guy, you can learn anything quickly, but you can't be proud now, there are still many things to learn in the future." ”

Li Yunshen said: "Painting should take into account both form and spirit, it is not difficult to look like the body, but it is difficult to paint the skin and bones of the tiger, only the momentum in the bones of the tiger is expressed, this painting is valuable, to do this, you must have a painting in your heart, do you know what I said?"

I nodded as if I didn't understand: "I have a painting in my heart, it's very simple, I have a painting in my heart now." ”

With that, I picked up my pen and drew a sketch of the chest of a human body on a blank piece of paper.

After I finished painting, Li Yunshen picked up the piece of paper, looked at it carefully for a few minutes, and then nodded and said, "It's a little interesting, you can achieve such an artistic conception in just a few days after learning to paint, you are really a genius." Little one, it won't be long before I'm going to bow down!"

Li Yunshen's words made me a little flattered: "Grandpa Li, I am also blind in painting, I am still far from catching up with you!"

- "Little guy, since you are so talented, you will often come to me in the future, there are many paintings upstairs that you can copy, as long as you persevere, you will learn one day, your starting point is really not low!"

Li Yunshen's study does have a lot of calligraphy and painting works, and later I gradually knew what those paintings were, Gu Kaizhi's [Luo Shen Fu Tu] in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wu Daozi's [Eighty-Seven Immortal Scrolls] in the Tang Dynasty, Han Rong's [Five Ox Pictures], Wang Ximeng's [Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains] in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Zeduan's [Qingming Shanghe Tu], and then to Huang Gongwang's [Fuchun Mountain Residence Map] in the Yuan Dynasty, and then to Tang Bohu's [Autumn Wind Holding Fan Map] in the Ming Dynasty, [Shuimu Qinghua Picture] and [Lotus Water Bird Picture] of the Bada Shanren in the Qing Dynasty, and Shi Tao's [Landscape Qingyin Map] in the Qing Dynasty, [ Bamboo and stone map].

In addition to the paintings, there are many calligraphy works, such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Xizhi's [Lanting Collection Preface], the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Xianzhi's [Mid-Autumn Festival], the Tang Dynasty Yan Zhenqing's [Duobao Pagoda], the Tang Dynasty Wild Grass Master Huaisu's [Self-Narrative Post], the Tang Dynasty Zhang Xu's [Forty-two Chapters], and the Ming Dynasty Dong Qichang's [White Feather Fan Fu], these calligraphy works look antique, and there is a kind of compassionate and broad atmosphere. At that time, when I told Li Yunshen about this feeling, Li Yunshen was also taken aback: "Little guy, do you really see the compassionate momentum in those calligraphy and paintings?"

I said, "Yes, at the beginning, I didn't feel this way, but after a few days of copying, I almost shed tears, because those calligraphy and paintings are really amazing, so touching, I want to cry after watching it for a long time." ”

- "Okay, yes, your connoisseurship has reached a certain level, for a painter, the most difficult thing to practice is connoisseurship, once the connoisseurship reaches the realm, then it is not difficult to paint, good, really good." ”

Actually, to be honest, I just thought it was fun to draw, and I didn't think about it so much, but during the summer vacation, I did improve a lot in painting, and I couldn't tell myself. Anyway, during that time, when I went to Zhang Tiejun's house and saw the pine trees, eagles, flowers and plants that Zhang Tiejun had painted on the wall, I wondered in my heart: "I used to think these paintings were very good! Why do I look like garbage now? Could it be that my requirements have become higher, or is Zhang Tiejun's paintings really rubbish?"
