Chapter Seventy-Seven: Three Points into the Wood
However, Huo Zongtang can even "break the test papers", which is a special case. This can only show that the articles on the examination papers have long been difficult for Huo Zongtang. In his previous life, he was a first-class literature professor, and it was naturally easy to read these texts at the high school textbook level.
It's just that because there is an extra element of mental superpower in the article, he has to take a lot of trouble to learn and adapt.
After the reading superpower, the students of Zhenwu ushered in the last exam - the creation superpower.
The exam is divided into two parts: "Calligraphy" and "Writing".
The calligraphy exam was originally Huo Zongtang's strong point. With the help of Yan Zhenqing's "Yan Ti" calligraphy, he even shocked doctor-level figures. It shouldn't be difficult to cope with this exam.
But as soon as he took the test, Huo Zongtang found that he was thinking too simply.
The score of calligraphy is divided into two aspects: "form" and "god".
Form is an external, visible style of writing, also known as "form", "form", "image", and so on. "Shape" should be sought from the place where there is pen and ink, such as penmanship, ink method, chapter method, interspersal frame, knot, etc. To learn calligraphy and imitate the calligraphy of famous masters, the first requirement is to pursue "likeness".
If the "form" is said to have a place of pen and ink, it can be seen; Then "God" is nothing to write and ink, and can only be understood.
The "god" is beautiful and exquisite. Specifically, it is the spark of the soul that resides in the calligraphy brush and ink, the swaying aura, the majestic atmosphere, the outstanding personality, and the hearty spirit and emotion.
To put it more simply, the shape is the form and skill of calligraphy. God is to test the spiritual power and soul power in calligraphy.
shape, Huo Zongtang has the super calligraphy weapon of "Yan Ti", whether it is calligraphy style or style, it is far better than most of Han Xing's calligraphy, so naturally there is no need to worry.
But on the side of the gods, Han Xing's exam requirements are extremely high.
The first is the power of the pen. A large pen is written on the test paper, and the special test paper can immediately sense the candidate's pen power. The ancients had the saying that "the power penetrates the back of the paper", "three points into the wood", and "the pen is a thousand jun", emphasizing of course not the size of the hand, but the strength of the mental force displayed when writing.
A person's will, spirit, spirit, and character are poured into the pen, and of course they will form real power.
And Han Xing's test papers are all special "soul power test papers", a word is written on the paper, and the test paper can immediately record the size of the pen.
The size of this pen power is divided into several weights, such as "into wood", "into stone", and "into gold". But for the students in the rookie section, their abilities are basically within the "wood" level. The old saying "into the wood for three points", it is said that the calligraphy is amazing, and the handwriting can penetrate into the wood for three points.
And in this exam, their pen power can "enter the wood two points", and they have basically passed. If you can score three or four points, you can count it as excellent. Of course, you don't really take a wooden board for you to write during the exam. The examination paper itself already has mental energy, which can record and judge the size of the candidate's pen power.
Under the action of the preset mental power of the test paper, when a word is written, the edge of the word will glow with a faint yellow light. One point of yellow light, which roughly shows that there is a point of pen power into the wood. Yellow light two points, that is, the pen power can "into the wood two points", and then according to this standard and so on, yellow light ten, that is, into the wood ten meaning.
Huo Zongtang wrote a line of words, and the glyph was naturally majestic, but the yellow light on the side of the word was mostly only two or three points, which made him very dissatisfied. But this strength is related to whether the mental strength is strong or not, and he can't rush it, so Huo Zongtang can only finish writing calmly.
The "god" of calligraphy also includes the criteria of the writer's soul temperament and aesthetic style.
The so-called "words are like their people", some people are brave and heroic, some people are chic and wild, and some people are righteous and awe-inspiring, these spirits and souls will be reflected in calligraphy.
In addition, due to the different aesthetic interests and life pursuits of each person, different calligraphy will also present different aesthetic styles, some are majestic and atmospheric, some are diluted and neutralized, and some are wild and freehand......
Calligraphy can reflect these soul temperament and aesthetic style, and only one person dares to say that he is a family of his own and has walked out of his own calligraphy.
Reflected in the test papers, these "charms" reflect the question of whether the "soul power" of calligraphy is full. The soul power in this kind of calligraphy will also take on a special appearance because of the spiritual energy it contains.
As the old saying goes, a person's calligraphy "iron painting silver hook" means that the person's calligraphy is full of soul power, and even has the quality of gold and iron. If the soul power is small, the written words will be as solid as iron, full of strength and rigidity.
No matter how high the attainment, the font will slowly show bronze, silver, gold and other textures, which have been passed down for a long time and are very magical. So much so that the "turning stones into gold" in this world is not about immortal Taoism, but about the great calligrapher writing on the stone, which will leave a miracle of red gold ink marks and a thousand years of immortality. You can imagine how full the soul power is in this.
Huo Zongtang's calligraphy today has a small form, but when it comes to soul power and charm, it has only reached the level of three or four grades of "iron painting". The font ink looks like molten iron infusion, solid and powerful, but in the eyes of the master, the soul power behind it still cannot be regarded as strong, stable and pure.
But calligraphy, which comes from the accumulation of life and the growth of the soul, cannot be achieved overnight.
In fact, for most students of the same age, Huo Zongtang's calligraphy is already excellent. It's just that he used his own level in his previous life as a reference, and the words in front of him were of course poor.
In the "Creative Superpowers" exam, calligraphy accounts for 100 points, and writing, that is, composition, accounts for 200 points.
When it comes to writing, the questions are not much different from the middle school exams in my previous life. The topic in front of me is to ask students to write an essay around the following sentence, in any style:
I can calculate the orbits of celestial bodies, but I can't calculate the diversity and complexity of human nature.
This quote is a famous quote of Newton of this world. Unlike his previous life, this Newton was not only a great physicist, but also a great philosopher and writer.
The core of his sentence is that human nature is more diverse and complex than the universe and nature, and it is impossible to guess. Such a question is undoubtedly a rather profound question for sixteen or seventeen-year-old students.
It's even more difficult to write an article around this issue.
Huo Zongtang bit the pen, frowned and thought for more than ten minutes, and finally made him think of an article. It took a little mental strength and a lot of hardships to recall the fragments of my past life, and finally unlocked the famous article from my memory.
The famous Russian writer Chekov's "Chameleon" in his previous life. This "Chameleon" was selected as a junior high school textbook in the previous life, and it can be described as popular.
The protagonist of this short story is Ochumolov, a policeman in old Tsarist Russia.
