Chapter 846: Huang Tingjing, change the goose post

PS: It's already up, and tomorrow the three watches will be resumed, asking for monthly ticket support.

"Is it the latest addition?"

At this time, Zhang Lao was thoughtful and turned his head to ask Zhang Qing. Although he knew the things on the third floor, he didn't dare to say everything. After all, things come in and out every year, and they change somewhat. The last time he went upstairs to see it was more than a year ago. During this time, there must have been a slight change in the collection on the third floor.

"Uncle, you know, I don't care about this."

However, Zhang Qing shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know what is there." ”

"Oh."

Zhang Lao nodded, and simply asked directly: "Wang Guan, don't sell Guanzi, what did you choose?" As I vouch, they will not be able to repent, so don't worry about it. ”

"Don't worry, I'll talk to you later." Wang Guan smiled: "As for now...... The elders seem to want to talk to me about something. ”

Longhu Mountain invited guests, and it was not only Zhang Qing who accompanied him. In addition, there are a few Taoist priests, these people are constantly courteous when accompanying guests, and they have a bit of a desire to speak and stop, they must have asked for help.

In this regard, not only Wang watched it, but Zhang Lao knew it.

"What else could there be."

Zhang Lao has a straightforward temperament, prefers to be straight, and simply picks out: "Of course it's a matter of fluorescent resin, just now I was asking if that resin is really that magical......

"Ahem."

A Taoist chief was a little embarrassed, but he was still a little skeptical: "Zhang Jushi, it's not that we don't believe you, it's mainly that this matter sounds a little mysterious." We can't easily believe it until we have seen the real thing. ”

From these words, we can know that this Taoist priest and Zhang Lao are not from their own family.

Although the surname of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is Zhang, it does not mean that Zhang Tianshi can cover the sky with one hand. In fact, the power structure of Longhu Mountain is very complicated, even if it is a person with a foreign surname, he can be in a high position.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Shao Yuanjie, the Taoist priest who received the most letter from Emperor Jiajing, was born in Longhu Mountain. He is not surnamed Zhang, but he was ordered by Emperor Jiajing to be a real person, ruling the three palaces of Jingshi Chaotian, Xianling, and Lingji, and leading Taoism.

It can be seen that although the Longhu Mountain lineage is the same as the emperor, it belongs to the hereditary system. But he gave up the right to score and give capable people the opportunity to come forward, and everyone worked together, so there was the glory of Longhu Mountain.

Come to think of it. If you don't understand the truth that everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, it is estimated that Longhu Mountain will not be able to be inherited to this day, and it will not have the status of one of the four major altars of Taoism.

Of course, compared to ancient times, Longhu Mountain is definitely not so beautiful now. Especially after the miraculous rise of the Banshan Temple, Longhu Mountain, which has long had such thoughts, is naturally very red-eyed, and will seek Wang Guan again.

Renting red sandalwood gloomy wood beads is only the first step, but hear about the wonderful effects of fluorescent resin. But there was another surprise. If it can be confirmed to be true, then it is definitely not to be missed.

"Why, you don't even believe me?"

At this time, Zhang Lao glared and said, "Do you think I will lie?" ”

"Don't dare. Don't dare to ......" The Taoist priest hurriedly smiled and said: "Zhang Jushi's words, we definitely don't dare to doubt it, it's just unbelievable and can't accept it for a while." ”

"Believe it or not." Zhang Lao said indifferently: "Wait until Wang Guan asks someone to write a gorgeous chapter with glue." You will know if it's true or not. ”

"Why bother to hire someone else." At this moment, the Taoist priest suddenly smiled and said, "Zhang Jushi, have you forgotten?" We have a master calligrapher here. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Lao reacted: "Are you telling the truth?" That's right, he is indeed a master of calligraphy, but unfortunately he knows that copying other people's calligraphy can never become a real calligrapher. ”

"Who is that Dao Zhen?"

At the same time, Wang Guan was also a little curious, and then smiled: "Zhang Lao, what you said is also a little biased, you must know that many famous calligraphers, at the beginning, were also famous copying masters, after laying a good base, they had their own style, and eventually became a master of calligraphy, so copying is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"That's because you don't know the specifics."

Zhang Lao shook his head and said: "When others copy the masterpieces of famous artists, it is to learn from the strengths of others, study the brushwork of famous masters of the past dynasties, and then analyze and integrate them, and finally turn them into their own use, self-contained." But what about him, it can be described in one word, that is, specialized. ”

"Copying one person's calligraphy?" Wang Guan blinked and smiled: "This is not bad, if you concentrate on studying a person's calligraphy thoroughly, it will be easier to bring forth the new." ”

"Not bad." Zhang Lao snorted and said, "He does not specialize in studying one person's calligraphy, but specifically copying one of a person's calligraphy. After more than 20 years of copying, it has been completely imprinted in my mind, and even if I close my eyes and write, there will be no mistakes. ”

"However, this is the case, but it has made his writing habits deep-rooted, and in addition to this copybook, let him rewrite other words, it is like a child's graffiti, which is miserable."

While speaking, Zhang Lao sighed and said: "If it was saved ten years ago, as for now...... He has been completely deposed, and there is no room for redemption at all. ”

Speaking of Zhang Lao's demeanor and tone, he really has a bit of love and hatred. As he spoke, he glared fiercely at several Taoist priests, as if these people were the murderers who destroyed a calligraphy master.

These people also bowed their heads with weak hearts, smiled awkwardly, and did not dare to look directly at Zhang Lao's gaze. Seeing this situation, Wang Guan became even more curious, and couldn't help asking, "Old Zhang, which calligraphy did he copy?" ”

At the right time, a Taoist priest rushed ahead of Zhang Lao and said with a smile: "Wang Jushi is interested, you might as well go over and see it in person." ”

"That's fine." Wang Guan groaned slightly, then nodded and agreed. Knowing that this Taoist priest was setting a trap for himself, but the initiative was in his own hands, he was not worried about being tricked.

"In that case, let's go."

In fact, everyone has eaten almost enough, and now with this excuse, it is logical to end the dinner, and then under the guidance of a few Taoist priests, they slowly came to a room.

Here, the king saw the man named Daozhen, who was about forty years old, tall and thin, with three locks of green beard on his mouth and chin, and a spacious robe. Very high-spirited.

"Elder Zhang, you're here."

Seeing Elder Zhang coming, Dao Zhen was very happy and hurriedly greeted him warmly.

After entering the room, Wang Guan looked at it curiously, and saw that it was very spacious, about forty or fifty square meters. However, the layout is very simple and simple, except for a bamboo bed in the corner, a wide desk, and a few chairs.

On top of the desk. However, many study utensils are placed in a neat and orderly manner. On one of the small shelves, there are more than 20 brushes of various types of large and small in a row.

Wang Guan looked carefully and found that these brushes were all used, not just decorations. In addition, under the desk, there are stacks of rice paper. The height of the stacked rice paper is almost level with the desk. And most of them have ink stains, which are obviously the result of Daozhen's handwriting practice.

"Daozhen, have you had dinner?"

At the right time, an elderly Taoist priest smiled and said, "This layman is our distinguished guest of Longhu Mountain. If you are interested in calligraphy, if you have time, you can help write a calligraphy for him. ”

"Okay."

Dao Zhen was stunned, or maybe he was used to it. He immediately nodded in agreement, and then took a roll of rice paper and spread it out, then flattened it with paper, and then cleaned his hands and grinded the ink.

While he was ready to write. Zhang Lao also sighed a little: "Specialization also has the benefits of specialization, at least the melon is ripe, and you don't need to adjust your mentality to enter the state directly." Unlike some calligraphy masters. If the mind is not calm, there is no state at all. ”

"Of course, when a master calligrapher enters the state and has a flash of inspiration, it means that a masterpiece is born. However, no matter how much inspiration is flashed by Daozhen, it is still impossible for the work to get rid of the limited framework of its predecessors. So, the harm outweighs the good. ”

Zhang Lao sighed, or he heard too many such words, not only a few Taoist priests were indifferent, but even Daozhen himself turned a deaf ear and concentrated on grinding ink.

Soon after, the ink was polished, and Michizane began to pick up the pen and prepare to write.

"Be serious and show real skills."

A Taoist priest reminded him in a whisper, but it made Dao Zhen thoughtful, and then nodded lightly, holding his breath and concentrating, with a serious expression. Holding a pen and ink in his right hand, he gently brushed his sleeve with his left hand, and then wrote on the white rice paper.

"There is Huang Ting and there is a related Yuan ......"

Wang glanced at it and was immediately surprised: "It turned out to be Huang Tingjing, I thought it was the Tao Te Ching." ”

"No...... right"

In an instant, Wang Guan restrained his contempt, and his expression was solemn: "This is a goose change." ”

Huang Tingjing, change goose post, different titles, but represent different meanings. Those who are more familiar with the Taoist classics must know that the Huang Ting Jing is a book of cultivation and health.

However, the goose post is a famous post in the history of calligraphy, and the legend is that it is written by the sage Wang Xizhi. Originally Huang Su silk book, in the Song Dynasty had been copied and engraved on the stone, the real work has been lost, now only rubbings circulate.

There is also a legendary story about this goose change. As we all know, Wang Xizhi loves geese very much. There was a Taoist priest in San'in who wanted to get Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Knowing his habit of loving geese, he specially prepared a flock of fat and big white geese, and then stocked them in places where Wang Xizhi often passed by.

Wang Xizhi was really fooled and asked the Taoist priest to buy a white goose, but the Taoist priest said that he didn't want money, and only asked him to copy a scripture. Wang Xizhi happily agreed, and after writing the scriptures for a long time, he happily returned with a cage goose. Because of this interesting incident, some people in later generations called Wang Xizhi's book the Huang Ting Sutra as a goose post.

However, Wang Guan knows that there is also a debate in history about the authenticity of the goose post. After all, the allusion of Wang Xizhi writing the scriptures for the goose is contained in the Southern Dynasty's "On the Book Table", in which it is stated that Wang Xizhi's book is the scripture of "Dao" and "De", and later I don't know why, it became the Huang Tingjing.

But in any case, in the process of circulating Huang Tingjing's exchange of goose posts, such as Zhiyong, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Zhao Mengfu and other famous calligraphers, they all got inspiration from it.

Therefore, the dispute between authenticity and falsity does not affect the value of the goose post...... (To be continued......)
