Since Yuan Zhengshuo was so polite just now, Meng Zitao also decided to show his tough side, he picked up the microphone and began to talk eloquently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I would like to thank this friend for giving me the opportunity to speak, and before I do so, I would like to state that what I am expressing is my own point of view, which has nothing to do with anyone else. ”

When everyone heard Meng Zitao say this, they all perked up, and secretly said that there was a good show to watch, and the director next to him frequently signaled to Meng Zitao, asking Meng Zitao not to say anything outrageous, and not to make the atmosphere too stiff.

Listen to Mencius Tao continued: "First of all, I think that the so-called 'modernist' has not been properly named in modern and contemporary calligraphy in our country until today. Of course, I don't mean to kill everyone with a rod when I say this, but at least for now, there are no 'modernist' masters that I identify with. ”

"Let's take Mr. Yuan's work as an example, we can understand the rough and vigorous and staggered taste of this 'work', and there is no need to discuss plastic arts, but the key is that it is definitely not a good calligraphy work. Not to mention that the post is not deep, the penmanship is weak, and the beauty of the knot is also lacking, not to mention the so-called ancient meaning and rhyme. It is nondescript and contrary to orthodox calligraphy. ”

"To tell the truth, Mr. Yuan's calligraphy can be written without a temporary post, without any technical content, but simply pursue the strange knots, abrupt brushstrokes, deliberate changes, exaggerated chapters, or 'calligraphy and painting in one', and seek the so-called 'beauty' and 'ingenuity' in the painting, and so on. ”

Of course, if you want to say that the so-called modernist calligraphy is to run counter to orthodox calligraphy, not to seek orthodoxy, but to seek weirdness, so that there is a taste, then it can also be said that I did not say. Finally, I want to say that since ancient times, Huaxia has never had a master who relied on tricks to succeed. ”

Seeing that Yuan Zhengshuo was calm on the surface, but his hands were trembling slightly, Meng Zitao secretly laughed a few times, and then said with a smile: "Teacher Yuan, what I said may be a little heavy, I hope you don't care, I am also right about things and not people." ”

"Made, is it terrible that your master is Zheng Anzhi? (Now everyone already knows the identity of Meng Zitao) is so arrogant, no matter what, I am also an elder, even if you are a stinky boy who has not dried up, can you say the same about me?"

Of course, this idea Yuan Zhengshuo also muttered in his heart, he took a deep breath, forced a smile and said: "Now there are many calligraphy lovers have a little prejudice against modernist calligraphy, I think this is an inevitable phenomenon in the development of things, good money will one day be able to prevail, I believe that with the improvement of everyone's aesthetic concept, the cognition of modernist calligraphy will return to the normal track." ”

Originally, everyone still thought that although Meng Zitao was okay, he said something heavy, but Yuan Zhengshuo's words made many people secretly say "yes!", your Yuan Zhengshuo's calligraphy is good money, and our calligraphy is bad money, what is this called!

Looking at the disdainful looks of the people around him, Yuan Jingde was also very angry in his heart, and because he felt that the relationship between Meng Zitao and his ex-wife was not ordinary, which made him hate Meng Zitao even more, he suddenly said: "Since Mr. Meng thinks that modernist calligraphy is useless, can you show your own calligraphy?

Meng Zitao smiled at Yuan Jingde and said, "Of course it's no problem, but we should also abide by the rules of the conference, don't you say?"

Yuan Zhengshuo smiled and said: "In this way, Teacher Meng can come up now, I will take the initiative to withdraw, and there is no need to vote." ”

In fact, the reason why he made this decision was that he didn't want to get a low score and make himself even more embarrassed, and he thought that Meng Zitao's calligraphy level would definitely not be high, after all, his age was here, and he couldn't wait to take revenge.

For a while, everyone's eyes were on Meng Zitao.

Everyone's thoughts are similar to Yuan Zhengshuo's, they all think that Meng Zitao is young, and his calligraphy level is not high, even if Yuan Zhengshuo's calligraphy is not as good as Yang Lao and others, but there are also points to be made, compared with most amateur calligraphy enthusiasts, it is definitely better, not that there is no merit.

And can Meng Zitao's calligraphy level be better than Yuan Zhengshuo's? Most people have a question mark in their hearts.

Because they don't know much about Meng Zitao, many people feel that Meng Zitao's coming to power is just self-inflicted humiliation, and when the time comes, not only will he lose face, but Zheng Anzhi will also lose face.

However, there is no shortage of people who like to watch the excitement at the scene, and of course, the bigger the trouble, the better. In addition, they were very jealous that Meng Zitao could climb to Zheng Anzhi, and if they could see Meng Zitao lose face, they could also satisfy their bad taste, so they were all excited to see Meng Zitao come to power.

Feng Lixue was more inclined to Meng Zitao in her heart, and helped to speak: "Teacher Meng, why don't you prepare first?"

Meng Zitao smiled and shook his head: "No need, I can start now." ”

Feng Lixue was slightly stunned in her heart, thinking whether Meng Zitao was really confident of winning, or was he too arrogant.

Yuan Zhengshuo next to him sneered in his heart, the young man is really a young man, how to create calligraphy has to be prepared, even if he is very confident in himself, just now he was familiar with the pen and ink, and he dared to put down the pen after brewing in his heart.

In addition, a good calligraphy must show the artistic conception contained in the content.

Therefore, the choice of the subject matter of calligraphy is also very important, and when writing, it is necessary to integrate feelings, and you can write a good work casually.

How could Mencius not understand this truth, in fact, from the time he learned that he was going to participate in the calligraphy exchange meeting, he was already thinking about the subject he wanted to write, and after choosing, he began to feel the artistic conception. So, it's not that he's arrogant, but he's already done it in front.

Meng Zitao turned a blind eye to Yuan Zhengshuo next to him, walked to the calligraphy table, picked up the brush and felt it, poured some ink, closed his eyes slightly, half a sound, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the momentum of the whole person changed, so that the host next to him and Yuan Zhengshuo's heart were shocked.

Meng Zitao wrote quickly, there was an indomitable momentum, and the three big characters of "Chivalrous Travel" fell on the white paper, as if a white-clothed chivalrous man who was alone in the world was displayed in front of everyone.

"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming......"

Yuan Zhengshuo, who originally thought that he would laugh at Meng Zitao in the future, was suddenly stunned, his eyes widened, his mouth couldn't be closed, and his face was full of incredulity.

In fact, it was not only him, but even Xu Youhao and Ren Kexin, who knew Meng Zitao's calligraphy level, were full of shock in their eyes at the moment, let alone others.

Everyone found it hard to imagine why a young man in his early twenties could have such a superb level of calligraphy, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe that it was written by Mencius at all, and they could call him a contemporary grass saint with such a level. In fact, Meng Zitao's calligraphy was completely transmitted to the grass sage Zhang Zhi, and it is certainly not an exaggeration to say that he is a grass sage.

Of course, when the last stroke was dropped, and the brush in his hand was put away, the scene was silent, and everyone was silent in Meng Zitao's calligraphy works, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

After a while, everyone came back to their senses one after another, Feng Lixue calmed down and said with a smile: "To be honest, today's exchange meeting has given me one surprise after another, especially Mr. Meng's works, which are like Mount Everest, and I am an ant at the foot of the mountain, I don't know what words to use to describe my admiration for it." ”

Meng Zitao waved his hand modestly: "You have won the prize." ”

Feng Lixue smiled: "What I said is not an exaggeration at all, I don't believe you can ask everyone's opinions." In addition, I would like to thank you for your work, and I will not need to treat you to dinner today. ”

Meng Cheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, it's all this time, you are still thinking about the previous bet." ”

Feng Lixue said with a smile: "There is no way, small families can only make careful calculations, and they can save a little." ”

There was a burst of chuckling around them, and the atmosphere was a little livener.

"Teacher Meng, we still have to go one step, I don't know which teacher you want to comment on your work?" Meng Zitao has made such calligraphy works, Meng Cheng felt that the rules should also change, so he simply let Meng Zitao designate the teacher to comment.

Meng Zitao looked at Yuan Zhengshuo, who was shrinking his head, and was a little too lazy to pay attention to him, so he looked at the guest seat, and saw Xu Youhao signaling to him not to let him comment, so he chose Yang Lao.

Yang Lao couldn't help himself, and said with some excitement while holding the microphone: "As the old saying goes, the master is the teacher, so I want to thank Mr. Meng for giving me this opportunity. ”

Meng Zitao said politely: "Old Yang, you are too polite, my master knows about it, so you have to train me." ”

"If he dares to discipline you, then I will personally come to the door and talk to him. Yang Lao laughed, and then his expression became serious again: "To be honest, Mr. Meng's cursive handwriting, I think it can be comparable to Zhang Zhi, Zhang Xu, Huaisu and others, I have temporarily summarized the following points." ”

"First, the strong sense of rhythm makes the work produce movement and impact. At this point, Mr. Meng successfully applied his power to the changes of calligraphy dot painting, so that the pen on the paper in the process of movement produced frustration, tilt, strangeness, and mutation, so that the personality of the publicity to the extreme. The momentum of the whole work is like a waterfall going straight down, impacting the stream, and like a light breeze willow, Jiona is colorful, and the passionate pen is like a chivalrous man in the poem, killing one person in ten steps, leaving no line for a thousand miles. ”

The second is that the whole article shows an unpredictable feeling, the words are left and right on the side of the song, the pen is old and spicy, and the chapter is elegant. As a result, the work has a tendency of danger, mutation, expansion and restraint, and we seem to be able to hear the dot painting of the characters in motion. ”

"The third is that there are thousands of ink images, hearty. There is a saying that ink is colorful in Chinese painting, and the use of ink is thick, light, dry and wet to produce infinite changes in the picture, showing a vibrant interest. In this work, Mr. Meng skillfully used these skills, thereby enhancing the visual effect of the work and bringing the method of increasing ink to the extreme. It's a pity that the ink used is a little worse, if it is paired with good ink, tsk......"

"The fourth is Mr. Meng's penmanship. Its penmanship becomes round and changeable, the use of exaggeration, agitation and jumping, square folding and stiff, and calligraphy strokes exaggerate its pen form, the development of the pen into a point, the method of turning the flat auxiliary operation, or a round point, or a square point, or a side point, plus the straight and straight strokes, forming its strong line quality and the rhythm of the pen with ups and downs. ”

"Taken together, the content of this poem complements Mr. Meng's calligraphy, and his pen vividly reproduces the image of the chivalrous man in Li Bai's poems, and the whole calligraphy is like a whirlwind of rain, vertical and horizontal, giving people the artistic enjoyment of dragons and tigers, running snakes and horses......"

Yang Lao's impassioned comments pointed out the characteristics of the whole work one by one, so that Meng Zitao sighed at the old and spicy of his vision, and it was only a moment of effort, and he was able to see so much content, I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, which made him applaud.

Everyone else also followed, and for a while, there was warm applause at the scene, which could not be stopped for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
