Chapter 198 Calligraphy and Painting Pavilion (Asking for Flowers)
Wuhai City is an emerging industrial city in the western part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, bordering the Ordos Plateau in the east, Shizuishan City in Ningxia across the river in the south, Alxa Grassland in the west, and the fertile Hetao Plain in the north.
In the late fifties of the twentieth century, with the opening of the Baolan Railway and the construction of national key projects such as Baotou Steel, Wuhai began to develop on a large scale as a resource-rich area. After 50 years of hard work, a new industrial city has been built on the desert that was once inaccessible.
A group of people got off the train, suddenly felt that the air was much fresher, although it is in the west, but Shaanxi is now developing relatively fast, then at the same time the air pollution is more serious, there are also several new cities here, but most of them are still no man's land, the environment still retains the natural style, the air is naturally much better than Shaanxi.
Zhang Taiping recalled the evaluation of Wuhai City on the Internet, and in general, Wuhai can be described by four reputations, namely the pearl of the Yellow River, the city of calligraphy, the desert oasis, and the land of grapes.
Since I also grow grapes at home, I paid more attention to this "grape country". Wuhai City is rich in water, soil, light and heat resources, suitable for grape planting, and has the reputation of "grape town". The Yellow River flows through the urban area for 105 kilometers, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the illumination time is long, the effective accumulated temperature is high, the frost-free period reaches 156~165 days, it belongs to the temperate continental climate, suitable for the production of vegetables and fruits, it is a high-quality grape production base comparable to the Turbo region of Xinjiang Province in China, and a number of grape varieties have won national awards, and are recommended as safe and high-quality grapes for the Olympic Games.
Although there is no such thing as a unique place in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, Zhang Taiping believes that his grapes can reach this height, because he has space spring water, which can make up for all the unsuitable environment or soil quality.
"Hey, it's finally here, and when I come back in the future, I will take the plane directly, and the train is too torturous." Wan Fang complained slightly.
"What's the point of flying? You can also enjoy the scenery along the way by train. Liu Fan disagreed with her statement, so he replied, "We have nothing urgent, come here and treat it as a tour." ”
Ordered a few cars and went directly to the Sunshine Marriott Hotel, which is the closest to the train station.
When he arrived at the door, Kong Fei said to Zhang Taiping and Yang Wanli: "I have to separate from the two eldest brothers here, I will go to my classmates to have fun, and I won't stay in the hotel." ”
Zhang Taiping returned: "That's good. Feeling that this young man was not bad along the way, he added, "Be more careful on the road, call me if there is anything, I will help if I can." ”
"Hehe, I'm relieved to have Brother Zhang's words, maybe I'll come over again after playing with my classmates for a few days." Kong Fei said with a smile.
"Hmm." Zhang Taiping nodded.
After Kong Fei left, the others had already booked a room. Now that we've reached our destination, we're not as anxious as we are in Zhongwei, and everyone's actions are scattered and move freely. The things they have to do in Inner Mongolia are different, and the place they go to will not hurt at that time, so there is no need to act together after arriving here. After discussing it, they decided to do their own thing, and use this as a meeting point, so that they can go back together.
After Zhang Taiping entered the room, he closed the door tightly and released Xiao Jin from the space. Although the space in the space is not small enough to fly, but for a long time I can't see the figure of the master, Xiao Jin is also a little anxious, and now he has released it affectionately rubbing Zhang Taiping's head with his head, and gently tapping Zhang Taiping's arm with his mouth more affectionately.
After making out for a while, Zhang Taiping opened the window and let Xiao Jin out of the window, after arriving here, he would not have a big move, and he could let Xiao Jin go out for a while. Xiao Jin also chirped happily, and this peculiar chirp immediately washed the guests in the hotel, and they all opened the windows to watch, and they were all surprised how such a big eagle could appear here.
released Xiaojin, Xiaoxi, that guy doesn't know where to go. Zhang Taiping thought about it for a while and knew that the little guy was taking it out. When I entered the bathroom, I saw the little guy standing in it and was anxious. It's a pity that most of the bathrooms in the hotel don't have a bidet, if the bathtub it still knows how to open, but when it comes to showers, it can't do it.
Zhang Taiping also wanted to take a bath, so he turned on the shower, and the water sprinkled down like rain, Zhang Taiping stood below and began to wash himself. It's a pity that the little guy hasn't taken such a bath yet, and he doesn't dare to go in when he stands on the sink.
Zhang Taiping didn't help, just smiled and looked at his bath, and after waiting for a while, the little guy who loved cleanliness couldn't help it, and flapped his wings and plunged into the rain. After walking back and forth a few times, the fear of the unknown was eliminated, and finally he landed on the ground, spread his wings, and let the hot water wash his feathers. Zhang Taiping looked at such a small point standing under the shower and felt funny, and sprinkled some shower gel on it.
The little guy really flapped his wings like Zhang Taiping, and it was considered rubbing. Zhang Taiping laughed directly, this is really weird, and the imitation ability is so strong that it is perverted.
After taking a shower, I blew the little one dry. In the morning, Zhang Taiping did not go out of the room again and rested all morning.
At noon, Liu Fan and the three were gone. After lunch, Yang Wanli proposed: "I just heard from the people in the store that there is a calligraphy exhibition in the past few days, why don't you go and see it in the afternoon?" ”
Zhang Taiping thought about it, there is a reputation of "calligraphy city", so his attainments in calligraphy must be extraordinary, and it is not bad to go and see, so he nodded and said: "Okay, calligraphy here has a good reputation, and it will not disappoint." ”
Zhao Qingsi didn't go with him, and went upstairs to rest in his room after eating. Zhang Qianlong and Yang Wanli looked at each other, Zhang Taiping smiled and shook his head without care, he had a lot of memories of this woman, but at that time, one was still young and the other was when she was his follower, and there was no love between men and women at all. As for now, it is even more unlikely. I may help with her affairs, but I will never pay too much attention to it, like Li Yang.
Old Master Luo and Sun are not ready to go over, and only Zhang Taiping and Yang Wanli are left.
Although the three of them didn't know where the location was, they must have been familiar with the taxi here, and they called a car to talk about a calligraphy exhibition, and the driver pulled them to a museum, which looked quite artistic in the center of the city. The calligraphy exhibition was held in this special hall.
I heard the driver just say that this restaurant is specially held for calligraphy-related activities. Just from the outside of the construction of this building, you can see how much attention and enthusiasm the people here are for calligraphy.
There is a large plaque on the top of the hall, on which the pen is written in four large cursive characters of "Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall". People who don't have a certain handwriting skills really can't necessarily understand these four words. Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just an idle egg, a painful person twisted a few times with a brush and drew a few circles, but in the eyes of people who know penmanship, especially those who study Zhang Xu's cursive writing, this is a great art.
Yang Wanli and Zhang Qianlong, due to their family origins, were also taught by their parents to practice calligraphy for a period of time when they were young, which cannot be said to be proficient, but there is no difficulty in recognizing words. And Zhang Taiping's practice is completely influenced by the old man, as for what font he is, I really don't know, but I have been practicing like this for nearly 20 years, and now I have a certain popularity, but I haven't compared, I don't know how it is.
The museum is open, and there is no ticket or anything like that, but after entering the museum, I learned that there is not only a calligraphy exhibition but also a calligraphy and painting exhibition, and calligraphy and calligraphy and painting are never separated from each other. It may not be the same now, but in ancient times, every person who wrote well must not be too bad, calligraphy, painting, calligraphy and painting, the two are one.
After turning around, I realized that there are not only traces of modern celebrities, but also many traces of ancient people: copying, and authentic transmission. It is not only an exhibition hall of calligraphy and painting, but also an exchange of calligraphy and painting. If you have good calligraphy and want to display your calligraphy or the research results on calligraphy in front of many peers, you can pay a certain fee to the exhibition hall to rent a space to frame your results and hang them.
Some antique calligraphy and paintings are also traded here, but after the transaction, the museum has to take a part of the commission.
In fact, the most popular thing now is the handwriting of those who have enjoyed a good reputation, or the works of modern people; It is not easy for a modern person to become famous, due to the rapid development of society, the cultural level is far from catching up with the pace of economic development, most people have been materialized, and do not pay much attention to these spiritual wealth, especially a modern person's calligraphy and painting, in this case it is too difficult to become famous, perhaps after a few years of death, his works will become popular, which is already a good result.
The space in the museum is very large, but it is neatly filled with all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and there are many special small rooms that are also full of works of some famous modern and contemporary masters.
Zhang Taiping saw a calligraphy and painting purported to be Zhang Xu in the Tang Dynasty in a corner, which was indeed cursive of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, but it is unknown whether it was Zhang Xu's genuine handwriting or the handwriting imitated by later people.
Although there are a lot of things on display, but there are not many people, I have asked to know, the things that enter here are all identified, there is nothing too indiscriminate, the price will be relatively high, and those who come in are either sincerely to buy, or purely appreciated, so there are not many people. There are several streets outside where calligraphy and paintings are exhibited, and there are all kinds of things and all kinds of people.
