More than 200 years ago, in the era when theology was popular, it was the birth of lacquer books that made the book bloom.

Today, the era of one-of-a-kind flourishing no longer exists, but there is no successor to lacquer books.

Eight points of thirsty pen, this is the penmanship created by Jin Nong from the Huashan stele in his later years, the road is simple, and the seemingly simple strokes are more difficult to get started. In later generations, there was no more famous calligrapher who became famous for lacquer books.

Zhong Yue's pen is steady.

With the blessing of the nine potentials of God and man, the grasp of the font is more handy.

The horizontal pen is like a scale.

Vertical pen such as Le.

The majestic lacquer script leaps onto the paper.

Breaking the peak, taking the peak, breaking the pen, and wavy.

The characteristics of all lacquer calligraphy are vividly displayed.

After the work was completed, Zhong Yue put down the pen in his hand, put it on the pen stand, and said, "Please give me some advice." ”

Several well-known calligraphers got up and walked over, looking at the lacquer calligraphy on the table, which was exquisitely written with a pen and thick like lacquer, and whispered and talked about it.

Yun Hui nodded from time to time.

Wang Ge looked at the lacquer book on the table, his eyes narrowed, and his face suddenly became a little ugly...... A few months ago, he saw Zhong Yue's works, obviously he didn't have such pen power, why did today's works make him feel so majestic?

This kid...... Was it hiding before?

"Hmm. The penmanship does learn the essence of the lacquer book, simple and straightforward, especially some details, handled very well, is not the world's first lacquer book dare not say, but at least I know a few people who have studied the lacquer book, the most tasteful written. ”

"Definitely. Although I have specialized in stele studies for decades, I don't have the ability to grasp the penmanship of lacquer calligraphy. This kind of non-cheesy style of writing has few people who study it, and it is even more difficult to have someone who writes so quintically. Yun Lao, you have a deep friendship with the lacquer book master in Jingbei, and the lacquer book of the stele master can be said to be recognized as the first contemporary lacquer book, do you think the two are ...... compared?"

Wang Ge said: "The lacquer book master in Jingbei, but the master of Beixue, can this be compared? I think Yun Lao will not tell lies with a clear conscience." ”

Yun Hui smiled knowingly, "Let me first tell you what I think of Zhong Yue's work. When we evaluate calligraphy, we must first look at his foundation. Lacquer books, three kinds of people can't learn. First, the weak cannot learn. Look at the situation under this rice paper. ”

Yun Hui lifted the rice paper, ordinary people write books, on the felt paper, basically will not be dipped in much ink, even if there is, it is also a faint ink shadow, but when Yun Hui lifted the rice paper, the original yellow-white pure wool felt under the bottom can actually photoprint the basic font of four big characters!

"Penetrate the back of the paper!"

Yun Hui nodded and said: "The lacquer book that I made friends with said that it is difficult for ordinary people to have this pen power. Second, those who violate the law cannot learn. Even if you have a little calligraphy foundation, you still can't write lacquer books according to the normal writing style and writing subordinate.

Some calligraphy professional publications say that when Jin Nong writes lacquer books, he writes after cutting the brush together. This statement is really misleading, in fact, the lacquer book is written with a normal sheep's hair pen, the key is to learn to start and close, with the tip of the brush, Qi, round, and the "Qi" in the health, in order to write Qi such as a knife, the stroke with flying white lacquer book.

Before, when discussing the authenticity of the lacquer book, everyone still didn't believe in the penmanship of the side line, but now that they have witnessed it with their own eyes, everyone must have a number in their hearts, and this young man is right. ”

A middle-aged man who followed the path of learning from the post interjected: "Yun Lao, let me interrupt. I may not have studied lacquer books a lot, and I have come into contact with few calligraphers, so I would like to ask if the self-proclaimed style of books that appear in the book world today can also be classified according to the form of lacquer books. After all, lacquer books are also unorthodox book styles. ”

Yun Hui smiled slightly and said, "Rather clumsy than clever, rather ugly than flattering, rather fragmented than slippery, rather straightforward than arranged." Words are the first to be people, and people have strange words since ancient times. Looking at Jin Nong's lacquer book, there is absolutely no ingenuity, charming, slippery, or arrangement, and it is completely frank, clumsy, spicy, raw, cold, and natural strokes. It's not a deliberate attempt to sensationalize. This is also something worth learning from our generation, but this 'strange person' is not something that ordinary people can emulate, and it is really the third reason why there are few successors to lacquer books. ”

Wang Ge smiled: "Old Yun, you have been talking for so long, and you still haven't said a word accurately, is this lacquer book worthy of being the first in the world?"

Xi Qichang looked at Zhong Yue's lacquer book masterpiece on the table, shook his head and sighed, since ancient times, there is no first, and the book world ranks seniority, although Zhong Yue's penmanship is wonderful, and the lacquer book is full of rhyme, he can be called a genius, but it is difficult to say that he is the first in the world.

Who thinks it's the best in the world?

I'm still younger after all. If Zhong Yue is now an old calligrapher in his seventies and eighties, he may be qualified to say that he is the first in the world of lacquer calligraphy, now...... At least for the sake of the face of the master of Jingbei stele studies, Yun Hui may not say that this is the first person in the world to write lacquer books.

I'm afraid that many people present understand in their hearts that this is a cruel bet, and the final win may still fall to King Xiaokai.

Yun Hui smiled: "Is it the first lacquer book nowadays, I don't count if I say it." Just now, I sent this work to an old friend in Jingbei and asked him to evaluate it, which I think is the most objective and fair. ”

The people present let out a sigh.

"My God, let the calligraphy world be evaluated? Isn't this a slap in the face of his old man? Zhong Yue must have lost. ”

"It's a pity, if you let these Shanghai calligraphers on the scene evaluate, maybe Zhong Yue still has a chance to win, let that stele scholar say this, it's no fun. ”

The middle-aged man standing next to Yunhui handed over his mobile phone.

"Well, he's calling, let's hear what he has to say. ”

Yun Hui pressed the hands-free button.

"Boheng. ”

There was a full voice on the other end of the phone, and sure enough, the person who wrote the lacquer book could not be an old man who was old and weak, it seemed to be an old man in good spirits, "Eh, Huizhi, I haven't seen you for a long time." I saw the lacquer book you just sent me. ”

Everyone present held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen.

"What do you think?"

"He's really a young man in his twenties?"

"yes. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then he said, "Strange people." ”

"Do you think you should be the first person to write a lacquer book?"

"There are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, if you have to be more serious, who dares to say that you are the best in the world? Huizhi, if I have the opportunity, I hope to invite this young man to come to Jingbei, I want to communicate with him, at least among the people I contact, the lacquer book he wrote is the most golden-stone taste, the essence of Mr. Jinnong. ”

"Okay, let's not bother for now. ”

"Oh, good. Be sure to remember to make this young man free to come to Jingbei. ”

The phone hung up.

The calligraphy and painting room fell silent for a long time......
