Therefore, when this man's heart is right, his writing is right, and when his heart is crooked, his writing is scattered. Of course, the righteousness mentioned here is not the righteousness of good and evil, but the persistence and belief in a person's heart, whether good or evil.

A villain who likes to be opportunistic will never be able to write that kind of majestic calligraphy, just like Liu Yong has never been able to write Li Bai's atmospheric and heroic poems in his life, and Li Bai also disdains to write that kind of childlike words, even if he writes it, he will lose his soul, and he is not as delicate as Liu Yong.

Of course, if you want to see the essence of a person from a person's words, you must have enough calligraphy attainments, just like the old man. But Xie Bin is not at that level, at least not yet.

Besides, Xie Bin, after almost twenty days of practice, he was finally able to write a complete "Fu" character in this courtyard, and the old man reluctantly recognized Xie Bin's achievements. It's just that the old man's next training method still lets Xie Bin write with a broom, and he is also in the yard, but this time he asks Xie Bin to write to the smallest, the smaller the better.

This made Xie Bin a little dumbfounded by the request, writing small words with a broom? It's hard to write big characters on this broom head, but how to write small characters? Not to mention whether there is ink bondage, just this scattered broom head, you can't write it.

The old man looked at Xie Bin's embarrassed expression, grabbed the broom impatiently, and wrote a blessing word on the ground, this blessing word is not big but not small, but if you look closely, you find that this word is impeccable in terms of structure and strokes, and it seems that you can't put anything in it at all. However, the handwriting is clear and natural.

Then he wrote another word, which was also the word "Fu", but this word Fu was so small that Xie Bin could barely see it clearly when he lay on the ground. After seeing it clearly, Xie Bin was even more surprised, because this small "Fu" character is almost exactly the same as the big one just now, the same font and the same structure, the same clarity and clarity, the same fine and compact, but the size has been reduced by more than 100 times.

Especially when the old man wrote just now, he just wrote it casually, and the time is estimated to be only one second, and he wrote it standing up, although he opened his eyes, but he used the huge broom to write such fine small characters, which is a bit incredible, especially the old man's ability to control the broom with extraordinary precision.

Seeing Xie Bin's shocked appearance, the old man smiled proudly, "See, to my extent, everything can be used as a pen, you can use it when you pick it up, you don't need to be vague at all, practice it well, boy, I went online." ”

Xie Bin looked at the back of the old man with his hands behind his back, and sighed helplessly, what is the gap, this is the gap, what is the quintessence of the country, this is. The essence of traditional culture is far from being a matter of writing a few words or painting two pictures, but a process of exercising oneself and even transcending oneself. To put it bluntly, this is the way.

The old man's hand is already close to the Tao, and even this is something that only exists in legends, but now it appears alive in front of Xie Bin's eyes. Xie Bin's original mind was a little fluttering, but he sank down suddenly. Only then did he realize that he still underestimated the world's capable people. It is no wonder that Xie Bin's calligraphy, paintings and carvings sell for such high prices, but no one who has truly attained traditional culture has ever made any evaluation of him.

Only then did Xie Bin know what it meant to be "a bottle that doesn't make a sound, and a half bottle that swayes", Xie Bin himself is the standard half-bottle level. Speaking of which, although Xie Bin's grandfather is also very clever and his attainments in calligraphy and painting are also considered masters, he is still a little worse than the current old man. Of course, although the two people are in the same era, their experiences are completely different, and Xie Bin doesn't want to make more comparisons.

At this time, Xie Bin was shocked by the old man's hand, and he was a little more calm when practicing, after all, people are like this, "don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin", when he wrote the word Dafu before, Xie Bin still had some doubts, but now he is wholeheartedly without a little ambiguity.

Besides, this is also touching the edge of the miniature carving, just to see that the old man can write such a small character with such a big and difficult broom, Xie Bin has no doubt that the old man can write smaller fonts with a brush or pen.

Later, Xie Bin began a hard and excellent struggle with this broom, and in order to make Xie Bin master it faster, the old man specially instructed Xie Bin not to change the broom, but only to use this one, unless the broom became bare.

Xie Bin has never experienced such an exercise in his life, writing with a broom, how does it look like the method used by children from poor families in the past. No, children from poor families should practice with wooden sticks, saying that brooms also cost money.

Xie Bin really didn't know how the old man came up with such a way to practice. But the effect is good, after Xie Bin has practiced, he can already write all kinds of fonts with a broom, both large and small, although there is no way to compare with the old man, but it is not bad, after all, the bottom of his book ** is there.

The old man nodded when he saw it, "It's okay to start the next step," and asked, "Do you know what the most important thing is in miniature carving?" ”

Xie Bin thought about it and said, "Is it the foundation of calligraphy? ”

The old man patted Xie Bin's head: "Wrong, it's a tool!" He snorted: "Without a suitable tool, it is useless for you to have great ability." ”

Xie Bin didn't dare to dodge, and secretly complained, such a simple question should be asked so solemnly, to do micro carving, it is natural to have a tool that is sharp enough and sharp enough, this is something that no one knows.

As if guessing what Xie Bin was thinking, the old man glared, "What?" Not convinced? ”

Xie Bin hurriedly waved his hand, "Convincing, convincing, you keep talking!" ”

"Hmph," the old man snorted again, and continued: "Of course, tools alone are not enough, the second point is the material, which must be delicate enough, whether it is wood or stone, there can be not even a little crack or sand point, otherwise, a sand point the size of a grain of rice is enough to destroy a picture or a dozen Chinese characters, then the whole work will be in vain, everything has to start all over again." ”

"The above two points are the foundation, just like the hard disk of your computer, it is the source of all art, and it is absolutely indispensable hardware," the old man will learn and use it now, and it will take a few days to figure out what hardware and software are, and now it can be used to teach Xie Bin a lesson.

"In addition to these two points, the rest all depends on personal attainments, calligraphy and painting skills you don't need to say much, there is still the potential for progress in the future, and the most important point is that when you play on the spot, you must concentrate and calm down, concentrate your whole strength and ideas in your creative process, a little careless, it is really 'a thousand miles of mistakes', you must be steady and ruthless when you go under the knife, do not hesitate to worry, you must be able to achieve momentum and determination in one go."

"The most taboo thing to do miniature carving is to write and stop, so that the breath of the whole person is easy to scatter, and the style of the work can not be consistent, you know, those miniature carving works are placed under the magnifying glass to watch, any mistakes you make will be clearly expressed, therefore, this requires your energy and physical strength must be sufficient enough, otherwise there is no way to complete the work of a miniature carving."

"I don't hide it from you, my miniature carving skills can have the current level, and that is also thanks to the blessing of the "Yijin Sutra", otherwise, I am not much better than you."

Xie Bin was a little curious when he heard this, "Teacher, have those miniature carving masters practiced qigong?" This question has been turning in Xie Bin's heart for a long time, and today he finally seized the opportunity to ask it.

"I don't know about others, but my master and I have practiced this "Yijin Sutra", but I think although I can't say that I have practiced all of them, at least most of them have been practiced, because ordinary people simply can't bear such a heavy process, and its requirements for individuals are too high, not to mention anything else, just concentrating and calming for such a long time is not something that ordinary people can do, only those who have undergone special training can complete it. Even if some people don't practice qigong, there are definitely ways to condense their spiritual energy, such as meditating and standing on piles. ”

Xie Bin took advantage of the old man's interest and hurriedly asked, "Isn't meditating and standing on piles just practicing qigong?" What's the difference? ”

"The difference is big, if you don't master the trick of meditation and standing, you can exercise your concentration at most, so that you can concentrate more and enter the state of concentration faster, and sometimes it will cause some small damage to the body, for example, when meditating, if you don't have the method of luck, ordinary people can't stand it after sitting for a while, and if it takes a long time, the damage to the body is not small."

"And qigong is to condense the blood of the whole body, mobilize all the thoughts to regulate their body, strengthen the qi, blood and thoughts, without the guidance of the teacher, self-teaching is almost impossible, if you don't do it well, you will practice badly, of course, if it is like the one published on the official website of the management center, there is not too much attention, and the step-by-step practice can also strengthen the body."

Xie Bin nodded thoughtfully, and learned a little more about the things in this world that are not known to the public, and after the old man said, Xie Bin wanted to understand why Mr. Guo Yueming was able to throw the world's No. 1 miniature carving master so far.

On the 2.8×3 piece of paper, the person can write more than 2,000 English letters, but Guo Yueming can write more than 6,000 Chinese characters on the 2.5×3 piece of paper, and the words are clear and clear, and the muscles and bones are strong and strong, much more clever than the one above, because the two are not at the same level at all.

It's just that Xie Bin read some inquiries on the Internet a few days ago, and I don't know how many miniature carving masters in China are known as the first people, but there are really a few who can reach the level of Guo's predecessors. There is a person who claims to be able to write more than 1,100 English letters on a square centimeter of paper, and then he claims to be the first person in China to carve miniature carving, I don't know what they think.
