Chapter 497: True Talent and Practical Learning
Wang Xizhi carefully studied the ink, smiled slightly, took two steps back, and stood with the bystanders.
Although some of the people who accepted Wang Xizhi's invitation to come were seeking positions in the army, most of these people were also from famous families, and all of them were erudite people who read poetry and books.
At this time, the last few belated people also arrived, and when they heard that someone had already written an article and was about to splash ink, they all gathered around.
Tang Dou held the wolf in his hand, looked at the silkworm cocoon paper spread out in front of him, pondered for a while, and silently calculated the layout of this "Burrow Ming" on the silkworm cocoon paper in his heart, dipped himself in ink, raised his wrist and calmly dropped the three words "Burrow" on the cocoon paper.
Tang Dou copied Su Dongpo's calligraphy, and the four famous masters of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Huangmi Cai, were not called in vain, especially Su Dongpo's calligraphy, which was crowned the first of the four.
In the early years, Su Dongpo's calligraphy was all over the Jin, Tang and five generations of famous masters, thanks to Wang Shengqian, Li Yong, Xu Hao, Yan Zhenqing, Yang Ningshi and became a family of its own. I once said, 'I can't create a book.'"
Huang Tingjian once commented that Su Dongpo's calligraphy 'is fine with the pen, not as close to nature as the boss'.
In his later years, Su Dongpo's knowledge, mind, and insight were outstanding everywhere, and his calligraphy style was closer, plump and uplifting, innocent and vast, and reached the peak of Su Dongpo's life. His brothers, nephews and friends all learned from him, and later celebrities such as Li Gang, Han Shizhong, Lu You, Wu Kuan, Tang Bohu and others, as well as Zhang Zhidong of the Qing Dynasty, all copied Su Dongpo's calligraphy, which shows the great influence of Su Dongpo's calligraphy.
Huang Tingjian once said in "Valley Collection": Those who are good at writing in this dynasty should recommend Su Shi as the first.
Tang Dou is familiar with Su Dongpo, and copying Su Dongpo's calligraphy is even more formal, and at this time he wrote down the three words "Burrow Ming", which has made everyone moved, even Wang Xizhi couldn't help but show obsession and urgency in his eyes.
Wang Xizhi is the master of calligraphy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Su Dongpo is the master of calligraphy in the Song Dynasty, Wang Xizhi is known as the first calligrapher in the world, and Su Dongpo is also called the first good calligrapher in this dynasty by Huang Tingjian.
Both of these people are leaders in the history of Chinese calligraphy, but they are not in the same dynasty, nearly a thousand years apart, and there is no way to compare them on the same stage.
And now, Tang Dou showed Su Dongpo's calligraphy in front of Wang Xizhi's eyes, which made Wang Xizhi have a refreshing feeling, he didn't expect Tang Dou to look so young, calligraphy is so vigorous and old-fashioned, and the penmanship seems to be full of countless vicissitudes of the world.
Wang Xizhi concluded that Tang Dou must have been taught by a hidden calligrapher.
And the person who can teach Tang Dou such calligraphy does not need to think about it and knows that it must not be an ordinary person.
Now that he has put down the pen, Tang Dou also put aside all the distractions in his heart, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the brush brushed the full text of "The Burrow" on the silkworm cocoon paper, but the last sentence of "The Burrow" is still the sentence that Tang Dou tampered with: It is not as good as today's Lanting.
Since the Tang Dynasty, literati and ink writers have not had the habit of making money on calligraphy and painting works, and Tang Dou also knows this reason, but he has a feeling, and he still uses a mouse whisker pen to put a line of small characters on the inscription of the Burrow: March 3 of the ninth year of Yonghe, Yu Lanting Yahui will feel it.
Put the pen away, exhale, and stand still.
Wang Xizhi praised it: "Good article, good calligraphy, a good Lan Tingya will be moved, friends, everyone should be a big fan of this article." ”
Everyone applauded, and each found a drinking utensil and poured it full of wine.
Wang Xizhi laughed and stuffed a glass of wine into Tang Dou's hand, and raised his glass with both hands to invite Tang Dou to drink.
Tang Dou hurriedly humbled me: "How dare Lord Lao Wang toast." ”
Wang Xizhi laughed and said: "Zidou is worthy of this wine, if Zidou doesn't dislike it, just call me Yi Shao, don't call Lord Wang again." ”
Tang Dou smiled and raised his wine glass at Wang Xizhi's hands: "Young Brother Yi, please, friends, please." ”
"Please", everyone responded in a hurry, and raised their wine glasses one after another.
Regardless of the ages, people are respectful of talented people, and now Tang Dou not only exports chapters, but also writes a good calligraphy that is no less than Wang Xizhi, and there are many people who have a love for Tang Dou.
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere immediately became lively, and many people had already crowded to the side of the case to appreciate the "Burrow Inscription" written by Tang Dou, and at the same time, many people expressed their goodwill to Tang Dou.
There are no business cards in this era, and if there are business cards, it is estimated that Tang Dou has gathered a lot of business cards in his hands at this time.
This is the first time that Tang Dou has not revealed his identity as a god stick in front of the ancients, and has won the recognition of these historical celebrities with his 'true talent and learning'.
Of course, no one knows that these real talents and practical learning of Tang Dou's children's shoes actually contain too much water, "Burrow Ming" is plagiarized by the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi, only the last sentence 'not as good as today's Lanting' is his own. The calligraphy was copied by the great writer Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty.
But having said that, aside from plagiarizing this "Burrow Inscription", Tang Dou's copying of Su Dongpo's calligraphy can indeed be regarded as some real talent, and he can get Wang Xizhi's appreciation, and he can't help but show a little pride on his face.
Wang Xizhi pulled Tang Dou to a person of his age and introduced: "Zidou, this is Xie An, the famous person of Huiji, the word Anshi, and the number Dongshan." He's a man of great talent, and you two are so close. ”
Hearing Xie An's name, Tang Dou was in awe, and hurriedly said hello: "It turned out to be Lord Xie, who has admired his name for a long time. ”
This Xie An is not an ordinary person, he is a great military strategist, politician, with 80,000 people to break the former Qin Fujian claimed to be a million army, for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to maintain the health of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for decades, in the later period once sat the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but because of the high merit of the master, attracted the suspicion of Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao, and finally resigned from the official position, and died of illness not long after.
Li Bai once had a poem: Sanchuan and the north are chaotic, and the four seas are like Yongjia. But with Dongshan Xie Anshi, for the gentleman to talk and laugh and quiet Husha.
Su Dongpo also once made a water-tune song for Xie An, in which 'An Shi is in the East China Sea, engaged in sideburns and autumn' is Xie An.
Hearing Tang Dou call himself an adult, Xie An smiled and grabbed Tang Dou's arm and said, "Brother Xian, don't call me an adult, now I am an idle cloud and a wild crane, and I am learning calligraphy under Yi Shaomen." Seeing the calligraphy of the virtuous brother today, An Shi was originally going to switch to the disciple of the virtuous brother, but now when you call me an adult, I can't speak. ”
Wang Xizhi said with a smile: "If An Shi wants to learn calligraphy from Zidou, I can't ask for it." If you are gone, I will save at least a few jars of wine and a few lambs in my house. ”
Xie An laughed, Tang Dou said polite words like not daring to be a teacher, but he already knew that the personal relationship between Xie An and Wang Xizhi must be good.
Between the jokes, Wang Xizhi introduced Tang Dou to Sun Sui, Sun Tong, Zhiyun monks and other celebrities, everyone talked very happily, in the midst of the noise, taking advantage of the wine, Wang Xizhi proposed that everyone write poems for the wine order, and got a positive response from everyone.
Tang Dou smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that this "Lanting Collection" is about to be freshly baked, and "Lanting Collection" is coming out, and this "Lanting Collection Preface" should not be far away.
It's just that I don't know if the "Burrow" I plagiarized will also be included in the "Lanting Collection", and it seems that most of them can't run away.
It's just that this "Burrow" was infringed by himself, so will Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty sue himself for piracy?
Thinking of the interesting part, Tang Dou couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
His own "Burrow" was born at the Lanting assembly in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so Liu Yuxi is hundreds of years behind him, and he is already cheap if he doesn't sue him for plagiarism. (To be continued.) )
