When we were exhausted, we suddenly saw a large mountain village in front of us, and the smoke of the cooking slowly rising, which was so good that the afternoon meal was finally settled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I saw a huge stone tablet at the entrance of this manor, on which were written four chic and handsome words - Qinglong Villa.

Xiao Fei was full of praise and said: "This name is good, the left green dragon, the right white tiger, and culture." We looked up again, and saw a couplet written on the red lacquered gate, the dragon, the phoenix, and the phoenix. Downlink: Long long long. Horizontal draped: long and long. Quicksand muttered on the side: "What kind of broken pair, it's really incomprehensible, what does it mean, there is only one word." ”

We were hungry, so we knocked at the door, and there was a half-bang, accompanied by the barking of dogs, and a voice came—come on. The door creaked open, and a lean servant stood by the door: "Excuse me, you are—" Quicksand said with an impatient smile, "We are passing by here, and we want to go in and visit, and take a break." The servant stood in our way and said respectfully, "Wait, you can't go in as you please." It's easy to let you in, but you'll have to read the couplet. Although our owner was a hospitable man, it was a little odd, because he was a man of culture, and he wrote it down that day, and from then on he commanded that only those who answered correctly could go in. ”

Fortunately, I have seen it before, and I can confidently say: "The upper joint reading is: long rise, long rise, long rise, long rise, and the lower joint reading is: long rise, long rise, long rise, long rise." Horizontal batch reading is: rise long long rise. ”

The servant smiled and said, "It is not difficult for you, and now you can go in, but let me come and tell you—" and in a moment the servant came out, closed the door, and led us in. In the midst of green mountains and green waters, this Qinglong Villa really looks very simple and chic, very quiet and elegant. The green tile powder wall is hidden in the green mountains and green bamboos, surrounded by green trees, and the atmosphere is extraordinarily open. The hall corridor is tortuous, deep, the area looks very large, at a glance, you can't see the edge, it can be seen that the strength of this villa is not to be underestimated, it is a well-deserved rich family, it is estimated that we have a full meal to eat. This great fortune and noble home is exquisite, not the same as ordinary people, small bridges and flowing water, can eat no meat, can not live without bamboo, everywhere is deep green bamboo, quiet and elegant.

Our group walked forward happily, this is good to eat hot dishes and hot meals outside, not to mention that there seems to be a gluttonous meal waiting for us today, we are like the monks in Journey to the West, we are in a state of hunger every day, not to mention big fish and meat, it is good to have a hot meal, today only smell the fragrant delicacy and make people dance with their eyebrows.

We walked along the path of the nine-curved intestines for a long time before we arrived at the main hall, it is really powerful, even if it is a modern society, it is also a local tyrant level, it is estimated that the maids are like the sea, and there are groups of wives and concubines.

The owner of the village walked out lonely with a smile, wearing a crescent white gown, at first glance he was a cultural person, dressed very exquisitely, and his gestures revealed full of knowledge and erudition, the owner looked very enthusiastic, old-fashioned, and did not look like a bad person, we immediately relaxed our vigilance and became safe. However, there are many servants up and down, and it seems that the nobleman is only the owner himself. The old owner seemed to be very rich and seemed kind and kind. From time to time, he stroked his white beard. The owner said loudly: "The house has been a guest for a long time, you are all rare guests, please come quickly, you come over in the dust, or go to take a bath first, and then take you around for a visit, and finally let's have a beautiful meal, how about it?"

We readily agreed, it turned out that the Song Dynasty hospitality, first burned fragrant soup to bathe the guests, and then put on a feast to catch the wind and wash the dust. The private bathrooms of this Qinglong Villa are so high-end customized, distinctive, and complete with antique sandalwood bathtubs. There is also a humanized bench in the middle, which is convenient for guests to change postures or rest, which is refreshing and healthy. The "soap" made by mixing peas and vanilla, the petals of the flowers are fragrant, and there are a lot of incense, which is very thoughtful. We took a comfortable bath, took a beautiful bath, came out to visit, this refreshing, people are not formal, we followed the hospitable owner to walk around.

The things in the Zhuangzi are all available, the furnishings are antique, and the decoration is exquisite and chic. As he walked, he said: "I like to travel in the mountains and rivers, and I like it very much when I see this place is elegant and quiet, and the green bamboo is thick." Although it is a bit remote, it was still built. Look, how?" "Very good, very good, the gods can live here." Quicksand was full of praise and said with a compliment. The main hall under the bamboo curtain is lined with paintings, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all available.

We take a closer look, one of them is the ink landscape painting of "Maolin Yuanxiu Map" is very good-looking, only to see the light boats on it, pedestrians, cars and horses coming and going, the distant palace is dense, the shadow of the tower looms, and we know that the city is not far away. The mouth of the flying spring, such as hearing its sound, is like being there. The scene is open and magnificent. The majestic mountain peaks rise from the ground, the strange peaks are abrupt, majestic, and then stand, showing a heroic and solemn state. In the near view, the small bridge and flowing water, the light boats on the shore, and the constant traffic of pedestrians, vehicles and horses create a gentle and soothing atmosphere.

It sets off with the distant mountains, combining rigidity and softness, making the picture both harmonious and vivid. There are also towers and pagodas, flowing springs and waterfalls dotted among the cliffs on the riverside, the jungle is verdant, continuous, making the whole work full of spring and lush, making the viewer feel comfortable, light ink rubbing, smart and hazy.

Quicksand couldn't help asking: "Whose painting is this, so angry and majestic, splashed ink at will, it is really easy to come by, it comes naturally, it is really a stroke of genius." ”

The old gentleman said triumphantly: "This person is a great painter I particularly admire, that is, Li Cheng, he is a very famous painter in my dynasty, the word Xianxi." The first lineage of the Tang clan, he was erudite and talented, and had great ambitions, but he was not allowed to show it, so he let go of poetry, wine, calligraphy and painting, and then died of drunkenness in Chenzhou Inn. The temperament is extraordinary, and the temperament is ambitious. Painting mountains and rivers, I think he was promoted as the first in our early Northern Song Dynasty. He uses his pen to be clear and peaceful, forming a unique charm of "sparse weather". Slender but not weak, the strength is contained, such as cotton wrapped in iron. The ink is used cautiously, gently and meticulously. The depiction of the cliff stone is often outlined with thin lines, and then slowly written with thin small lines, especially the application of light ink is more delicate and heavy, clear and expressive, it is really light ink such as fog, stone like clouds, Shi Jinghao did not see a similarity, and Shi Guan Tong is similar to the leaves and trees. Let's look at this painting again—"

We looked at the "Cold Forest Plain" again, only to see an empty and bleak midwinter plain, the vigorous pine trees are slim and elegant, the ancient cypress is blue, the branches are intertwined, the river is twisted and twisted, spreading to the distance, and the middle seems to be in a state of melting ice and snow, and the empty fog makes the sky low and lonely, making the painting a hazy and mysterious feeling, the outline of the thick trunk and thin branches, the soil slope and the stone slope looming, giving people a kind of beautiful and elegant enjoyment. Don't be pine needles, thin and hard, straight lines, very powerful, meticulous, pure fire, Pingyuan cold forest, unprecedented. The charm is chic, the smoke forest is clear, the gesture is clear, the ink is exquisite, and the subtlety is fascinating.

The old farmer continued to say complacently: "Hooking the line is the most important technique in Chinese landscape painting. Li Cheng takes the hook as the most important means of expressing his object, reaching the level of perfection. Its most distinctive feature is the use of curves. Painting pine leaves is called saving needles, the pen is not dyed, and it has the color of glory. The branches depicted in Li Cheng's "Cold Forest Plains" that we see now are arc-shaped regardless of their thickness, maximizing the strength of the lines. The painting method is concise, the gesture is sharp, it is easy to use light ink, cherish the ink like gold, and paint the mountains and stones like rolling clouds, and later generations call this expression technique "cirrus clouds". Light ink smearing, the snow scene, the peaks and forests, where the smoke branch is extinguished, the water and stone streams, the trees are bleak, the mountains and rivers are dangerous and easy, all of them are wonderful.

Sweeping thousands of miles at hand, writing all kinds of fun under your fingers, it is really profound, interesting. ”

We have a very shallow attainment in Chinese painting, completely dizzy, such as falling into the clouds, and the old owner seems to talk very strongly, and to all kinds of paintings, pointing and pointing, we have seen all kinds of landscape paintings, eyes do not feel a little tired, he also saw a little bit of our tasteless, and asked us to appreciate the calligraphy, this does not look at do not know, a look frightened, since we see a pair of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy "Orchid Pavilion Preface" Isn't this a priceless and incomparably precious treasure in the tomb of Tang Taizong?

Xiao Fei trembled all over, and he didn't know that he thought he had a seizure, he was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time, his eyes stared straight at the calligraphy, he was stunned, salivating, and it was estimated that he was ready to dive into it again at night and take it into his pocket. He said excitedly: "This is Wang Xizhi's Lan Tingxu?"

The old owner touched his white beard and smiled slightly, and said slowly: "It's a pity that this is not a genuine work, but it is a better imitation, it is a copy of Feng Chengsu hook ordered by Tang Taizong, called "Shenlong Benlan Pavilion", because his facsimile has a small seal of "Shenlong" in the Tang Dynasty, so it is named Shenlong Ben "Lanting Preface", in order to distinguish it from other Tang facsimiles. This ink color is the most lively, jumping on the paper, copying fine, drawing silk ribbon, delicate, 100 words of the text, no word without drawing silk, pitching Na, more than feel its sloppiness, its penmanship, ink, line, charm, are reflected, basically can glimpse the original style of Xi. Recognized as the finest facsimile, it is also considered a treasure. ”

Xiao Fei was full of praise and said: "It's exactly the same, vivid." It's really like floating clouds, like a dragon. He said insincerely, and stared at the painting for a long time.

The old owner continued: "I admire the calligrapher the most is him, Wang Xizhi is a great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he changed the simple style of calligraphy of the Han and Wei dynasties, and opened the Jin Dynasty after the beautiful and healthy body, creating a model of Kai, line and grass, and the future generations are all patriarchal." Lan Tingxu is his masterpiece, known as the world's first line of calligraphy by the calligraphy world, and has poured countless calligraphers over the years. Wang Xizhi was also revered by later generations as a book saint.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin advocated Wang Xizhi's style of writing. He personally wrote "The Biography of Wang Xi" for the "Book of Jin" - a detailed investigation of the ancient and modern, the study of the refinement of the seal, as perfect as possible, but Wang Yi is rare! The heart is chasing after the hand, this person is only. The rest of the mere stuff is nothing to say. And also personally collected, copied, and appreciated Wang Xizhi's authentic works, and "Orchid Pavilion Preface" copied many copies and gave them to the ministers. In the history of Chinese calligraphy, the emperor advocated the writing of one person with the respect of 950,000 times, and that's it. It's just a pity that the ink that has been handed down to the world is as rare as the morning star, and none of the authentic works remain. In addition to the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", the famous ones are "Official Slave Post", "Seventeen Post", "Two Thanks", "Fengju Post", "Aunt Post", "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast", "Le Yi Treatise", "Huang Tingjing" and so on.

The main characteristics of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy are peace and nature, the gesture is euphemistic and subtle, beautiful and beautiful, and the calligraphy is exquisite, beautiful, and very beautiful to watch. In short, he introduced Chinese character writing from practicality to a realm that focuses on technique and taste, marking that calligraphers not only discover the beauty of calligraphy, but also express the beauty of calligraphy. Wang Xizhi's supernatural transformation is not only manifested in the heterogeneity of different words, but also more prominently in the heterogeneous construction of heavy words. For example, the 20 characters appear, the names have different postures and aesthetics, and none of them are the same. ”

Quicksand couldn't think of a better word, so he had to say ambiguously: "Yes, the first calligrapher through the ages." The word is perfect, especially good at arrangement, the so-called increase of one point is too long, loss of one point is too short. ”

The Zhuang idea continued to talk endlessly, such as a number of treasures: "In fact, this Lan Pavilion also has a legendary story: there is a custom in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, on March 3 every year, people must go to the river to play to eliminate the ominous, this is called repair. At that time, Wang Xizhi invited Xie An, Sun Sui and other 41 literati and scholars to gather in the Lanting Pavilion in Huiji Shanyin to repair, bend the water, drink and compose poems. The clerk puts the feather bud full of wine into the stream, and moves with the wind, and whoever stops at the feather bud will have to write a poem, and if he can't do it, he will be punished with three drinks. When everyone was intoxicated with the aftertaste of wine and poetry, someone suggested that it would be better to compile the thirty-seven poems made that day into a collection, which is the "Lanting Collection", and recommended Wang Xizhi to write a "Lanting Collection Preface". Wang Xizhi's wine is strong, and he waives his pen freely on silkworm paper, all in one go, which is the world-famous "Orchid Pavilion Preface". It describes the beauty of the mountains and rivers around the Lanting Pavilion and the joy of the party, and expresses the author's feelings of impermanence and impermanence in life and death. The next day, after Wang Xizhi woke up, he was still unsatisfied, and he rewrote the preface at the desk, but he felt that it was not as exquisite as the original text. Only then did he realize that this preface was already the pinnacle of his life. ”

He touched the calligraphy work with his old hand tremblingly, and said with pity: "It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see the beauty of the real work." His words are majestic, such as the dragon jumping over the heavenly gate, the tiger lying in the phoenix, so the treasure of the past dynasties. I'm not boasting, there are a lot of old paintings and calligraphy, but this long-admired Lan Tingxu has not been collected, and the real book is about to accompany Tang Taizong into the tomb. If that person is not the emperor, I will rob the tomb and dig it out. Xiao Fei nodded vigorously on the side, after all, the elite from the theft group, speaking of which, they are even more like-minded. "I'm a person, I don't have any other bad hobbies, I just love calligraphy and painting. These paintings are all famous works of the past dynasties, and they are all very rare and precious. I really envy the owner. ”

I also secretly admired this old man in my heart, this guy is really knowledgeable, blurted out, easy to come by, in the era when there was no computer, there was such a profound knowledge of calligraphy and painting, and I used to see the comments on Wang Xizhi on the Internet is no different, it is really amazing.

Quicksand listened to it for a long time, and suddenly felt bored, because he didn't know what to do when he looked at this calligraphy and painting, so he had to pretend to say: "The owner of the village is really elegant, and this character and this painting are really wonderful." "It's okay to cheat and eat and drink this quicksand, although the martial arts are good, but they are still only shallow in learning, and there is little research on calligraphy and painting. Fortunately, I have a good memory, I can memorize a lot of ancient poems, and I can occasionally fill them up. But he now regrets very much that he should have listened to his father's words at that time, practiced more piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also had a lot of literati spirit. Fortunately, the owner of the village did not continue the in-depth discussion, but was obviously very proud, immersed in his own intoxication. Quicksand had an idea, and quickly changed the topic, so as not to continue to comment on these difficult calligraphy and paintings. These calligraphy and paintings seem to be very comfortable, but it is difficult to comment on them in detail. So he blurted out—
