The next day.

Qin Huai got up early, practiced for a period of time in the morning, and then practiced calligraphy quietly on the stone table by the inkstone pond in the back garden.

The original builder was a little interesting, and two naturally stretched plums were planted by the pond, and the plum blossoms were dotted. Proudly independent.

'My family washes the inkstone pond tree, the flowers bloom with light ink marks, don't let people praise the color, only leave the clear air full of goodness. ’

。 I guess I want to see this kind of scene.

Qin Huai can't write poems, he can only practice calligraphy on the spot, but he thought of an interesting gadget.

Plum blossom seal characters.

Plum blossom seal character, refers to the use of optics, distance, orientation, color, ink and other penmanship on the basis of the seal character, the flower inlay character, the seal character and plum blossom ingenious integration.

To achieve the unique artistic effect of "looking at flowers from afar, looking at words from close, words in flowers, hiding flowers in words, and blending flowers and words".

However, archaeologists found on the ancient pottery as early as the Shang Dynasty, which was engraved with plum blossom hieroglyphs.

In the Han Dynasty, the plum blossom seal has become a good collection.

Its development has gone through the ups and downs of the Shang, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, this brilliant folk art soul treasure, but gradually unknown, can write plum blossom seal characters are even more rare people.

Qin Huai knew a little bit about the plum blossom seal, but he could entertain himself, and he immediately went into the house to find paint and ink, ready to release the fun.

Adjust cinnabar, polish the ink, and change the rice paper.

There are different types of rice paper, and each of them has different uses.

For example, Shengxuan, Shengxuan is the ordinary production of rice paper, without any special treatment, its permeation, water absorption, and strong ink wetting. Therefore, it is generally used for splashing ink and freehand painting.

The cooked rice is to lightly brush a layer of colloidal alum on the surface of the raw rice to make it lose its permeation and water absorption characteristics. Therefore, Shuxuan is also called "Alum Xuan". Shuxuan is generally used for gongbi painting.

And then there's the paper.

Tissue paper is made of rice paper by printing, dyeing, feeding, rubbing, calendering, mud gold, mud gold and silver powder, sprinkling gold and silver foil, and drawing gold and silver patterns according to different uses. After processing note paper with rice paper, it is often given various elegant names, mainly used for letter and ceremonial paper.

The rice paper that Qin Huai replaced is familiar Xuan, because it involves plum blossom seal characters, and at the same time, it is necessary to write plum blossoms.

Taking a piece of jade as a paperweight, Qin Huai spread out a thin piece of Yabai rice paper.

Hand hanging above the stone table.

Generally, beginners will put their elbows on the table to find a support point, because beginners, the hand can not control the force stably, so they can only pretend to be a foreign object, and the elbow has support, so as not to write crooked horizontal and vertical skimming.

However, there is a fatal disadvantage of elbows on the table, that is, the pattern is too small.

The ancients called writing a wave, and the focus fell on a wave.

Feel free.

Ancient calligraphers, writing to the end of the mountains and rivers, when the clouds come back, often open their arms like apes, such as opening three stone bows.

Hanging the pen is a basic operation.

When the ancients learned calligraphy, they often had to hang eggs and bricks on their arms.

These are all basic skills, otherwise you can't penetrate the back of the paper.

Qin Huai's basic skills are quite solid, his arms are steady, and he is quite courageous.

The pen in Qin Huai's hand is not a calligraphy pen.

Instead, choose a thin and pointed pen like a wolf. Commonly used pens are clothing pattern pen, leaf tendon pen, big red hair, small red hair, crab claw, wolf gui, purple gui.

Put pen to paper.

First draw the outline of the white circle, rub the branches, and use the stamens with dots, and all kinds of skills appear.

In a few moments, a few plum blossoms bloomed, bright red, clustered in a branch, and blurred on the paper.

Qin Huai changed his pen and sketched a few clumsy lines, just like primitive people carved in caves with stones.

It is not mellow, showing ancient meaning.

Qin Huai's calligraphy, although it may not become everyone, but there are still some patterns.

Unconsciously, under the tilt of the pen, the seal character and the plum blossom are inlaid together.

The two are natural, from a distance it looks like a seal word flying, and it looks like a plum blossom blooming in the near future.

In this way, the seal character is more jerky, which adds to its obscure mystery.

After playing intently for a while, Qin Huai wrote out a work.

The rear was signed, because Qin Huai did not have a seal, so he pressed five fingerprints to make a plum blossom shape.

It's kind of interesting.

Qin Huai enjoyed it to himself.

Put the plum blossom seal aside, and then replace it with another Yabai Shengxuan.

The center goes straight down, and the text emerges.

'The dragon pan of Jiangning, the Deng Wei of Suzhou, and the Xixi of Hangzhou all produce plums. Or say: "Mei is beautiful with curve, straight is no posture, with beauty and no scenery in the regular, with sparse beauty, dense is stateless." ”

……

'There are literati painters who are lonely and obscure to tell the plum, cut it, raise its side strips, delete its secrets, die its young branches, hoe its straight, curb its anger, in order to seek a heavy price, and the plums of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all sick. The calamity of the literati and painters has been so fierce!'

……

Qin Huai swayed freely and wrote a "Record of the Sick Plum Pavilion".

"Good morning, practice calligraphy, teach me. ”

Shang Ya finished washing up and stood aside curiously, she didn't close the door when she slept last night, and Qin Huai didn't even sneak in, it's just.

Such a boyfriend can't be flirted.

Really desperate.

Shang Ya picked up the bright red plum blossom seal work at his feet.

"Is this a word, or a painting, like a painting, not a painting......"

"That's the plum blossom seal, one of the intangible cultural heritage, I thought about it for a while, so I tried it. ”

Shang Ya held it in his hand and watched it carefully.

"I don't understand, alas, what's the deep meaning, popularize science. ”

"It's a poem. My family washes the inkstone pond tree, the flowers bloom with light ink marks, don't let people praise the color, only leave the clear air full of goodness. ”

Qin Huai explained as he replaced it with another piece of rice paper.

First record the poem in block letters, and then write it again with seal characters, and through comparison, tell Shang Ya how the seal characters are integrated into the plum blossoms.

Shang Ya said with a blank face.

This kind of picture, what a lonely life, Shang Ya could only smile helplessly, and did not choose to interrupt coquettishly because she didn't understand, but listened carefully, and finally looked at Qin Huai attentively.

After Qin Huai said that, she rolled up the rice paper with her heart.

"I've put this away, put it in my room, and keep it as a family heirloom. ”

Qin Huai couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

"That's it, keep it for me!"

Shang Ya pointed to the block work of 'The Story of the Sick Plum Pavilion' on the stone table. The handwriting on it is clear and beautiful, neat and beautiful.

"The dragon pan of Jiangning, the Deng Wei of Suzhou, and the Xixi of Hangzhou all produce plums...... Oh, I know, I just watched it a while ago. Gong Zizhen's "The Story of the Sick Plum Pavilion". ”

Shang Ya read it carefully, and then suddenly, she remembered this article. It is probably because of the strange habits of scholars and literati that the plum blossom sellers broke off the branches of the plum blossom one after another, causing it to grow into a sick state.

Gong Zizhen compared the plum blossoms to the literati of the time, saying that they were all destroyed, and hoped that the rulers would reform and liberate their individuality.

"Yes, this is a rare piece of writing, written exactly a year before the Opium War. ”

Qin Huai finished practicing calligraphy, put down the pen, quietly looked at the cold plum in front of the pool, at the moment the backyard is bright, the cold plum is printed in the water, the cold plum in the water and the reality of the plum blossom are rubbed together by the water, there is a kind of 'drunk do not know that the sky is in the water, the boat is full of dreams to press the galaxy', 'two or three small fish in the pool, all like empty swimming and nowhere to go'.

"Look there!"

Qin Huai glanced at it, something flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly shared this moment with Shang Ya.

"What's wrong? plum blossoms, clear pools, reflections?"

"Wait, I just had a great idea in my head, but it was just a flash of lightning, and then I couldn't hold it anymore!"

Qin Huai pulled his hair depressedly, and hurriedly climbed onto the stone table, coiled on the stone table, and watched the Hanmei reflected on the water intently. He always felt that what he hadn't grasped at that moment was very important to him......

"Alas. ”

Seeing Qin Huai's nervous appearance, Shang Ya couldn't cry or laugh, and helped Qin Huai sort out the pen and ink paints scattered on the side, and stood helplessly behind Qin Huai.

For a while, you can't disturb Qin Huai.
