Jiang Lao said to Xiao Zhang: Your kid's sycophant review can be called a splendid sentence, every word is beautiful, every word is beautiful, I listen to it very comfortably, don't say you want a work, I am willing to give you ten pieces. Shaojie, I'm writing a calligraphy book right now, and you'll write the "Trek" article.

The knot is a cold hatred of the Sun of the Ground Branch

Hearing that Jiang Lao wanted to write by himself, Xiao Zhang hurriedly said: Jiang Lao, although you always tell me about other things, I can't write this kind of formal article. But I don't like more than one calligraphy teacher, you can just take the kid in.

After listening to Xiao Zhang's statement, Ji Lao took the lead and said: Haha, Xiao Zhang's idea is exactly what I want, the purpose of my proposal for you to have a calligraphy exchange with Jiang Lao is this, since you kid is not stupid, don't hurry up and apprentice!

After listening to Ji Lao's words, Jiang Lao said: Slow! When it comes to composing poetry, Xiao Zhang's ability is absolutely nothing, but when it comes to the level of calligraphy, I don't know. Therefore, there is a car in front and a rut in the back, and I will also do the same as our Master Ji, first come to inspect your calligraphy level, and then decide to accept apprentices, Shaojie, do you agree?

Hearing that Jiang Lao was going to inspect himself, Xiao Zhang was not only nervous, but replied very simply: Of course it's good, since Jiang Lao has set an example, it's time for the kid to sacrifice his ugliness, I hope it will not disgrace the teacher's life.

Jiang Lao said: Hey, I said Shaojie, I haven't promised you yet.

Xiao Zhang said confidently: You will definitely agree.

Jiang Lao smiled: Haha, you kid is so confident?

Xiao Zhang smiled: Haha, that's a must.

Xiao Zhang said that, and asked people to spread two pieces of rice paper side by side on the bookcase.

Xiao Zhang stood in front of the bookcase, picked up a tube of fine hair, dipped it in ink, pondered for a while, and then put down his pen and started writing, writing the poem "Praise the Beauty".

After the hatred and hatred, the complex is not examined by the monthly examination

The enemy is far away, and the ship is in the battle of the moon and the sun

But seeing that Xiao Zhang's pen sometimes walks the dragon and snake, sometimes he is clumsy and slow, the pen is like a flying sword dancing wildly, and the pen is like a sword rattling. After a few strokes, he entered the state of forgetting things and me, such as madness, like drunkenness, and the writing is not informal, but he has always not lost the rigor of the law, and there is a great attitude of "Zhang Xu is drunk and bookish, and the paper is like a cloud of smoke". A moment later, a cursive script "Praise the Beauty" was presented in front of everyone.

After writing the poem "Praise the Beauty", Xiao Zhang was still in a state of unfinished, he moved two feet to the left, came to the second piece of rice paper, and without a moment of thought, began to write the poem "Ode to Hibiscus".

Unlike writing cursive, Xiao Zhang is neither crazy nor crazy, calm and relaxed, and writes with a smile. But I saw that he was sometimes dull and slow, sometimes the pen was windy, the pen was uninhibited, and the pen was not informal; There seems to be a spider silk wall at the place of the pen, and there is a sword aura when it arrives; When the pen is moved, it is like a long sleeve flying, and when it is waved, it is like a thousand troops rushing. As he spoke, the 47-character poem "Ode to Hibiscus" jumped on the four-foot rice paper.

A line of grass and two works are placed on the table. But when I saw the cursive "Praise Beauty", the whole pen gesture was magnificent, continuous flying, undulating, and magnificent. The knot does not seek stability, but the rhyme is vivid, vertical and horizontal. Its shrinkage is also dignified, like the bend of an inchworm, and its vertical is also dangerous, like the detachment of a cunning rabbit. The handsome place is like the wind fluttering, such as the snow dance, the heavy place is like a tiger squatting, such as an elephant step, giving people a sense of simplicity and agility.

After the far branch is alone, the Yang Du is cold

Yang Du, who was the only one in the Hou Yuan Branch, said with confidence: You will definitely agree.

The book "Ode to Hibiscus" again, the whole article is solemn and astringent, and does not lose the spirit of flying, the gesture is round and majestic, the posture is horizontal, the momentum is unrestrained, it is natural, such as the dragon jumping over the gate of heaven, like the tiger lying in the phoenix pavilion, there is no ridiculous brush. The size of the knots is different, sparse and dense, jagged and staggered, unbridled and strange, long waves and large skimming, Teton ups and downs, like a shock in the air. The glyph is comfortable and elegant, strong and graceful, looking forward to life, such as clouds, such as xia, such as smoke, such as the breeze, such as the secluded forest Qudong, delicate and free, vigorous and rich. The brushwork is vigorous and vertical, happy and hearty, reckless, magnificent, and has the style of a tiger roaring and a dragon spitting out the desert.

Xiao Zhang's writing was crazy, everyone was drunk, and after the two poems were written, everyone was still immersed in the enjoyment of the art of calligraphy and couldn't extricate themselves.

After Xiao Zhang finished writing, he said to everyone: Teachers, leaders, in the next offering ugly, as the saying goes, poetry has no door, books have origins, on poetry, boy, I have no door, no school, on calligraphy, I just copied a few copies of calligraphy when I was a child, so the level is limited, and I also ask Secretary Jiang Lao Ji Lao Lu and other teachers to give advice.

Ji Lao took the lead in saying: throughout the ages, calligraphy appreciators pay more attention to the beauty of the text of the work, and the writer pays more attention to the "joy of swaying" in the creative process, Shaojie's calligraphy has both, his eclectic, both form and spirit, uninhibited style, while you appreciate the beauty of the word, unconsciously bring you into the beauty of the beauty of the journey of writing, and the calligrapher advances and retreats, with sorrow and joy, this is the real charm of the connotation of calligraphy.

After Jiang Laozhang wrote, he pretended to be angry and said: Shaojie, your calligraphy level is only above me, not below me, why do you still come to me to learn from me, you kid won't be deliberately angry with my old man, right?

Hearing Jiang Lao's words, Xiao Zhang hurriedly said: Jiang Lao, I have been practicing calligraphy since I was a child, I can write wherever I want, how I want to write, all of it is random, almost disorganized, purely from a wild road, I can't talk about any calligraphy art at all, so I am qualified to anger your old man?

Jiang Lao said: Boy, this is your strength, others learn to practice calligraphy, often have to pay attention to the school, apprenticeship to learn art, but this is precisely the taboo of learning to practice calligraphy, with a frame it is difficult to break through, even if the blue is out of the blue, isn't it just better than the blue? Imagine, who can break through the two kings? Cursive who can break through Zhang Huai, if you always hold the two kings and Zhang Huai, how can the art of calligraphy in our Huaxia Kingdom develop and progress? But you are different, there is no shackles, no rules, do what you want, but break out of a unique calligraphy world, forming your own unique style, the so-called 'teacher of nature' is this truth. ”

Li Lao said: "Jiang Lao, as a bigwig in the book world and a famous philologist, can be so frank and open-minded in front of the works of juniors, which is so admirable. ”

Zou Jiadong continued: "Jiang Lao continued to comment on Xiao Zhang's calligraphy works: calligraphy, at first glance, the grass has the wind of Zhang Xu, and the line has the god of two kings, but it is not fine, the grass has no wandering body, and the law of the king is not limited. In fact, your pen movement rules and regulations have the same effect as the martial arts often said that "no tricks win and there are tricks", which truly embodies the supreme realm of Taoism of "loud sound and thin sound, elephant invisible". ”
