Chapter 562. Fairy soup

BJ City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is pregnant with a strong capital culture. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoWhen it comes to leisure and enjoyment in this culture, the first place is definitely those old bathhouses.

In the early years, the old BJ people were not much worse than the current people, and the bathhouses in the past were not only the needs of hygiene, but also leisure, entertainment, and communication. Soaking in the bath, talking, chatting, drinking coffee, playing chess, walking birds...... Therefore, during the Republic of China, there were more than 130 baths in the circle of the old BJ city. The people of Beijing love to take a bath, and gradually wash out the culture, history, and local characteristics, which is also the only one in the world.

At that time, there was a very famous couplet, called: "The golden rooster is hot before the soup is called, and the red sun is full of customers", which shows how prosperous the business of the old BJ city bathhouse was at that time.

Nowadays, although society has progressed, many bathhouses have been replaced by some bath-centers or something, but the traditional bathhouses have not disappeared, and they are still well preserved, but there are not many of them. After all, if these traditional bathhouses want to make money, they still can't compare to the more upscale centers, clubs.

In the era of great interests, we seem to be at the forefront of the times, but we have left behind many things of our ancestors.

When we look back, we are sad.

There was not much time, and under the leadership of Lao Cao, Lin Yi and the others finally walked to a bathhouse.

The night is dark, but there are lanterns hanging high here, and people come and go, which seems to be extremely lively.

A man at the door who looked like a dignified man greeted him with a smile, glanced at the four of them, and immediately stared at Lin Yi, who had a strong temperament and momentum, and welcomed him with a mouthful of Beijing films: "Oh, the four masters, they still ran out for a stroll on a snowy day, presumably because they wanted to take a bath?" ”

In the capital, this kind of meaning of calling you a master is the same as the meaning of calling you comrade and sir, not calling you a master, you are really an uncle.

Before Lin Yi could speak, Lao Cao preemptively said, "Nonsense, what are you doing without taking a bath?" ”

After hearing this, the cousin looked at Lao Cao, it turned out that he had recognized the wrong person, this one was the one in charge, and immediately his face was full of smiles: "This master is right, it's my clumsy mouth...... But if you want to take a bath, you can choose the right place, you take a closer look, our bathhouse is different from the others. ”

Lao Cao pursed his lips and said, "Isn't it just a broken bathhouse, what's different?" After all, the four of them really looked at it.

The bathhouse house here is not very good, and the faΓ§ade is not either, but the signboard on the door is quite eye-catching, and it actually reads "fairy soup".

Lao Cao and Lin Yi started to discuss, Lao Cao said: "This boss's tone is really not small, a bathhouse like this can also be called a 'fairy soup', I think he is 'the fairy is also too hot', whoever washes has to peel off the skin!" ”

Lin Yi smiled and said: "These are all gimmicks for doing business, according to the current words, they are called advertising." ”

Lao Cao muttered, "But I don't eat him; One day when I have money, I will open a bigger one, and that is not the Buddha Guanyin soup? ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.

The cousin of the bathhouse is definitely a person who has seen the world, especially in the capital of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, although Lao Cao's words are vulgar, but he has that style, he didn't dare to say anything, so he explained: "Look at the appearance of the four masters, you know that they are from other places, otherwise you will never know the origin of our bathhouse!" ”

Lin Yi said curiously: "Oh, what is the origin, let's hear about it, so that we outsiders can have some knowledge." ”

It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, Lin Yi really wants to ask for advice.

Next to him, Lao Cao sneered and said, "You guy, although we are not locals, we have also seen the world...... It will never be such a place that can be called 'fairy soup', at least it should be resplendent and magnificent! ”

The cousin smiled and said: "There is a way to put fragrant wine in a mud jar, and our bathhouse does not rely on this unsightly face, but on the plaque above!" After speaking, he pointed to the top of the bathhouse with his hand, "Now I will tell the four of you the origin of this plaque." It doesn't matter if you wash it or not, just listen to it as a story. ”

Lin Yi and the four of them looked at the plaque, which was simple and atmospheric, but it was dim, but it looked like an old object. Could it be that there is some great origin of this plaque?!

After hearing this, Lin Yi said: "Okay, let's listen to it!" ”

Seeing that they were quiet, the cousin stood on the steps and said, "Our bathhouse is not blowing, it has a history of hundreds of years, look at this house, although it looks old, it has a history and a story...... This history and story cannot be bought with money. Do you know who sealed the 'fairy soup' on this plaque? This is sealed by our Qianlong master. Our bathhouse Qianlong Ye has taken a bath, a wash, feel comfortable, comfortable, more cool than the gods, so he waved his hand and personally wrote this plaque--- therefore, the three words of "fairy soup" are the royal pen, you see this word is written dragon flying phoenix dance, how good! ”

Speaking of this, he dragged Lin Yi and pointed to the words on the plaque and said: "This master is a person who has seen the world with literacy and hyphenation, you can recognize this word well, is it Qianlong's pen style?" ”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's Qianlong's font." ”

As soon as he said this, Lao Cao. Lao Huang and He Dabao couldn't help but look at this plaque differently.

You must know that Lin Yike is known as "calligraphy and painting", and he has a high attainment in calligraphy. And Qianlong, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, is also very famous in the calligraphy world, famous not because he is very good, but very controversial.

Emperor Qianlong was the sixth monarch of the Qing Dynasty, reigned for 60 years and lived to be 89 years old, making him the longest-lived emperor of all dynasties. He experienced the Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing dynasties, and enjoyed the joy of seven generations in the same house. Qianlong is good at reading and good at poetry. It is said that he composed more than 1,300 essays and more than 40,000 poems during his lifetime (many of them, naturally, were drafted by his subordinates). Qianlong likes calligraphy, writes a good hand, his words are mellow and beautiful, and he is very skilled. Everywhere you go, you must be favored by the pen. The Ten Views of West Lake is a monument inscribed by him. These hobbies are of great benefit to Qianlong's brain, body, and temperament.

Qianlong's words, many people scolded the mother, some people said that there was no skeleton, and some people criticized kitsch.

In fact, Qianlong learned from the two kings and also learned from Zhao Mengfu, and his handwriting was very good. The embroidery is smooth and the foundation is very deep. Such as the dragon jumping over the heavenly gate, the tiger lying in the phoenix pavilion.

Qianlong is good at regular script, line script and line cursive script. He learned calligraphy from his grandfather Kangxi in his early years. The characters of Emperor Kangxi were guided by his teacher Shen Quan, who once said that "Shen Quan taught me to decay for sixty years". Shen Quan's calligraphy is taught by Dong Qichang and Mi Fu, dating back to the Jin and Tang dynasties, so the book of Emperor Qianlong in his early years, more influenced by Dong, Mi, Zhong and Wang should be credible.

After about middle age, Emperor Qianlong loved Zhao Meng's words. Under his influence, the style of writing in the middle of the Qing Dynasty changed from Shang Dong to Chongzhao. Emperor Qianlong not only vigorously advocated the ministers to learn from Zhao Shu, but also imitated it himself, striving to resemble Xiao.

The three words "fairy soup" on this plaque are calligraphy, and Qianlong has also passed down many books, which is also his best book. This flat body is smooth and smooth, and it can be said that Qianlong calligraphy is the top grade.

Lin Yi's eloquence about Qianlong's calligraphy is simply accurate to the top. Lao Cao and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and said in their hearts, they all knew that Brother Lin was educated, but they didn't expect that the culture was so deep, and they knew a lot!

The cousin even gave Lin Yi a thumbs up and said, "This master, you are amazing!" It can be seen that this word is not simple written by Qianlong, and what is even more simple is that you say it so clearly, it is simply a living dictionary. ”

The hall was happy in his heart, and was about to speak, but he heard Lin Yi continue: "It's Qianlong's font, but this plaque is fake!" ”

Everyone was stunned again.

Lin Yi continued: "Qianlong is good at regular script, line script and line cursive script, judging from his works in the middle and late period, his calligraphy does have the graceful body, flowing brush and elegant rhyme of Zhao characters, just as the calligraphy critic Ma Zonghuo's "Yuelou Pen Talk" said: 'His book is round and beautiful, and the cover imitates pine snow. But Ma Zonghuo was only half right, in addition to the fact that the Book of Qianlong has more Zhao Shu legacy, it also has the characteristics of Dong Shu's beauty and frankness. However, it should also be noted that Qianlong's book has real shortcomings, and the lack of variation is the major weakness of Qianlong's book. However, because 'calligraphy and painting are more precious than people', the book of Qianlong will be so cherished. And although the words on your plaque are the font of Qianlong Ye, they are copied, and they have lost the original charm and style, so there is no doubt that it is a fake. ”

Lin Yi's eloquent talk stunned everyone, especially for Lin Yi's erudition.

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at the bathhouse with a smile and said, "You see I guessed right?" ”

The hall looked at Lin Yi incredulously, and only said after a while: "It's really a god, this master...... You're so talented! Yes, my plaque is a copy of Qianlong's font, but I didn't mean to deceive the four, we did have such a plaque here, but it was destroyed by the Red Guards when I was engaged in sports! ”

After saying this, the cousin added, "But as a foreigner, you are the first person who can tell the authenticity of this plaque at a glance!" For this reason, I will give you a 20% discount on the cost of your bath this time! A few masters, don't freeze when it's cold outside, please ---! inside. The cousin shouted like a loud voice, feeling like he was back in ancient times.

After learning the inside story, Lin Yi and the others stopped talking, after all, they were taking a bath, not to smash the field, so they walked towards the hall. didn't know that behind them, a rich man was looking at them curiously, and after Lin Yi was beckoned in, he hooked his hand and called the cousin to ask a few words in a low voice. The cousin seemed to respect him very much, and told him what had just happened, and the rich man nodded and said, "I see--- this is a strange person." After speaking, he took a deep look at the place where Lin Yi left. (To be continued.) )
