As the birthplace of Xuan pen, Xuan paper and Hui ink, there are many shops in Huizhou with the four treasures of study. Zhong Yue heard Zhang Laifu say before, Dexuan Zhai is an old study in Huizhou, and the rice paper sold is also of high quality.

That's the charm of calligraphy. You may feel that the structure of the word is strange and unstable, but it is so comfortable to put it in the whole work, which involves the echo and connection between the words.

Some of them are brushwork, while others are structural supports.

What involves this is no longer a word-by-word exercise, but is treated as a complete work. The size of the raw edge paper is already difficult to accommodate such a size.

After getting on the bus and only two stops, I heard my phone vibrate again.

Don't think about it, it must be a text message from Gu Qin.

"Teacher Huang said that if you are free, you can go to the Youth Palace on weekends, and he will guide you in calligraphy. ”

After reading the text message, Zhong Yue thought about Huang Mingchuan, it was still quite good, and then replied to the message: "Give me Mr. Huang's number, thank you." ”

After a while, there was another dingdong.

"If you want to be beautiful, if you want to go, you can go to the Youth Palace on Saturdays and Sundays. ”

Zhong Yue smiled slightly, this guy is really willful. But he doesn't really care if he can get Huang Mingchuan's guidance, the originator of the lacquer book is in the system, and it's not bad for this sentence or two of guidance. After getting out of the car, Zhong Yue clicked on the map in his mobile phone, and now the smart phone is really much more convenient, real-time navigation, and even asking for directions is saved.

Following the navigation around the two corners, Zhong Yue saw a small storefront near the riverbank. The decoration is quite quaint, it looks like the wind and the sun are blowing, and the signboard has faded a little.

"Hello, what do you need?"

"Buy some rice paper. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, we don't just sell rice paper here. If you want to buy it, you can only buy it for one knife. ”

Zhong Yue looked at the many framed styles on the wall and asked, "How much is a knife?"

"Two hundred and one dollars, if you need a large amount, the price can be discounted. ”

"Let's go three times. ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise, "Do you want to be born or cooked?"

Although he has been practicing calligraphy for a few months, Zhong Yue has not received systematic calligraphy education, and he is also ignorant of the choice of paper, "Is there any difference?"

The shopkeeper's eyelids jumped, now young man, are you so generous, you can come with three knives at every turn, that's three hundred four-foot big announcements.

"Shengxuan is easy to hide for a long time, and the water absorption is strong, so if it is used by beginners, it is not easy to control the ink; If you want to sprinkle gold, tiger skin or cicada feathers and other processed cooked Xuan, the price is slightly more expensive than Suxuan. ”

Zhong Yue thought about it, now he needs to improve the place, that is, on the ink method of using ink, if you use the familiar Xuan, although it is easy to control the ink, but the disadvantages are also obvious, it is difficult to make progress in the ink method.

"Let's just make a three-knife announcement. ”

The shopkeeper frowned, "I recommend you to use Shuxuan, after all, beginners have a poor control over the use of ink, buy back three knife paper, feel bad with it, this return, the small shop will not return." ”

"It's going to be announced. ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper frowned when he saw Zhong Yue's persistent appearance, "In this way, there is a study on the side, you can try this Shengxuan, if you think it is good, it is not too late to buy it." ”

Zhong Yue's eyes lit up, and the conscientious merchant, "Okay, I'll give it a try." ”

Zhong Yue walked into the somewhat cramped small study, on which there were a lot of trial rice papers.

"This thin and crisp is a single xuan, and this thicker one is a single clip, which is a net skin, this is cotton, this is a clip, and a three-layer clip. ”

“……”

The middle-aged shopkeeper felt that he had said it too carefully, so he smiled, "Shengxuan is thin and thick, it all depends on personal preference, these cut papers, you can give it a try, I'll go out to greet business first." ”

Zhong Yue picked up the pen on the side, took a piece of paper, pressed it with a ruler, and put down the pen to write.

The ink absorption of Shan Xuan is indeed excellent, and after Zhong Yue put down the pen, it was clearly felt, but compared with the rough-edged paper, it was not much worse. However, when the pen fell on such a single xuan, Zhong Yue obviously felt that there was a world of difference from the inferior rice paper that was used to make up the number at the beginning.

Putting a pen on such rice paper, even though the pen of the lacquer book requires a lot of pen power, it still makes Zhong Yue feel a sense of hardship that he has not felt for a long time.

In the field of calligraphy and painting, the use of shengxuan is precisely because of its difficulty in writing that the charm of calligraphy art shines. Because of the difficult nature of Shengxuan writing, many people are discouraged from it, and it is difficult to achieve it.

The difficulty brought about by Shengxuan lies in the fact that the surface of the paper is coated with anti-slip agent, which increases the friction between the pen and the paper, and the writing becomes not so hearty, but if this difficulty is overcome, the calligraphy attainment will be on a higher level.

After using a few more pieces of paper, Zhong Yue also tried to use the cooked xuan on the next side, and felt that it was still the most tactile to use, so he walked out of the small study and saw that the shopkeeper was talking about business with an old man, so he said: "Three knives are shengxuan." ”

The shopkeeper was going to persuade a few more words, but when he came to business, he saw that Zhong Yue was so determined, so he took out three knives of paper from behind and wrapped it in a piece of brown paper, "A total of four hundred and two, a discount, four hundred yuan, come and visit more in the future." ”

"Ink, there's no better ink. ”

The old man on the side looked at Zhong Yue's dress, and also enthusiastically recommended: "Beginners don't need too good ink ingots, and the ink is quite good." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "How about the ink you used in the small study just now?"

Zhong Yue felt that the ink he used before felt okay, and nodded, "Take five bottles." ”

Things have to be prepared at one time, one bottle or two bottles, and it is troublesome to run to the city by yourself, and after buying enough, you also have to save another trip.

"Young man, buy so much paper and ink, are you engaged in wholesale?"

"No, take it back for your own use. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, "Use it yourself? Although it is more convenient to use for a long time, my little grandson, who bought him a knife of paper three years ago, still has more than half a knife left, you are a waste. ”

Zhong Yue smiled, he had to write for hours every day, and the original ten stacks of rough-edged paper were all reused by him, and they were painted black.

The shopkeeper placed five bottles of ink on the table, "Twenty-one bottles, five hundred in all." ”

Zhong Yue took out the money, picked up the plastic bag, carried the three-knife rice paper, and left happily.

The old man looked at Zhong Yue's departing back, and asked in a daze: "Now that the school's special education has reached such a point?

"I don't know, Lao Cai, let's not talk about him, the shop has a new batch of tiger skins ripe Xuan, do you always try it?"

"Okay. The old man walked into the little study with familiarity, and hurried out again.

The shopkeeper, who was still tidying up the paper cabinet, turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

"Who wrote this?"

The work in the hands of the old man is like a masterpiece.

"I don't know, there are too many customers in the shop every day, I can't remember. ”

The old man touched the ink with his hand, "It's not dry yet." ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper holding a meter ruler looked at the back of the person carrying the rice paper in the distance, and muttered in disbelief: "He?"
