Chapter 45: Artistic Conception
The old man woke up the dreamer with a word, but he didn't feel any difference, and carefully put away the words written by Xie Bin with a smile.
Xie Bin was a little stunned on the side, he was reminded by the old man's unintentional words, and suddenly woke up, only to realize that he had entered a small misunderstanding over the years. Maybe the old man didn't realize that he had reached a very high realm, but Xie Bin knew that this was what many people dreamed of.
When Xie Bin was a child, he studied calligraphy and painting, and his grandfather always said that he should pay attention to the artistic conception, and write his mood and mood into the words and paint into the painting. But after so many years, Xie Bin never knew how to start. And now Xie Bin was nodded through by the old man's unintentional words, which made Xie Bin very excited and grateful.
Indeed, for Xie Bin and others who write and draw, it is very difficult to improve their level every time, especially when their level reaches a certain level. For example, in this calligraphy, in addition to the change of character and style, it is more difficult to make changes and improvements, which is the case of Xie Bin.
Xie Bin has been learning calligraphy since he was a child, and his foundation is very solid, but after his grandfather died, Xie Bin didn't use his pen much, nor did he communicate or learn from others. Therefore, Xie Bin's calligraphy and painting and even carving have been staying at this level, and there is almost no progress, even when he was in Pingzhou last time, the carving skills have improved slightly, Xie Bin himself is a little confused, and thinks that it is the reason why he is too devoted.
Now Xie Bin suddenly realized that he had not been able to make progress because his mood could not keep up. The state of mind sounds very mysterious, and in some movies and television, it is interpreted as a profound thing. In fact, it is simple and very simple, just like the old man said to Xie Bin just now, integrate his own feelings into his works.
It's just that it's not easy to do that. If you don't have a certain foundation, you want to talk about anything like mood and artistic conception, which is destined to be just a castle in the air. But for people like Xie Bin and the old man with deep skills, this is the key to reaching a higher level.
This is like a poet writing a poem, why can Li Bai's poems be famous all over the world? Because each of his poems is from the heart, it is the convergence of his thoughts and the burst of feelings, coupled with his profound skills, that have created a great poet who has been famous for thousands of years. His poems are not only felt by himself, but also by the reader, and even more deeply. To put it in layman's terms, it is that his poems can resonate with readers.
It makes sense, in fact, it's that simple, but it looks simple, but it's difficult to do it, human feelings are all the same complex, but how many people can write their feelings into poems and reach the height of Li Bai in these thousands of years?
Poetry is the same, and so is calligraphy and painting, but calligraphy and painting are obviously more abstract and more demanding of the viewer. It is said that people who have not studied calligraphy cannot truly appreciate the beauty of calligraphy works.
In other words, Xie Bin can comprehend so many things from the old man's simple words, and another person may not be able to think of these, so it's good not to scold the old man in his heart for playing tricks.
So Xie Bin looked at the old man's slightly rickety body, felt a little grateful, took out his seal, dipped it in the ink, and slowly and steadily left a bright red "Xie Shiyin" on the rice paper.
The old man looked at this painting and shook his head very happily, "Yes, it's really good, Xiao Xie, you said that the bedroom is hanging in the bedroom?" Or hang it in the living room? ”
Xie Bin smiled and said, "Study, when the teacher is working, he can relax when he looks at this painting, right?" In the eyes of these people, this is not just a word, nor is it just a poem, but the water and moon of the West Lake and the leisurely self on the boat.
"Well, okay, there is a lack of such a word in the study," the old man nodded, agreeing with Xie Bin's opinion.
Seeing the old man's love for treasures, Xie Bin smiled and asked, "Teacher, where do you want to frame this word?" ”
The old man smiled when he heard this, his expression was full of pride, "Do you still need to find someone to frame this?" Old man, I learned framing, but I was still learning calligraphy and seal carving. The old man explained with a smile.
Xie Bin understood after listening to the old man's explanation. At that time, there were very few people who played calligraphy and painting, especially those who made a living from calligraphy and painting, who could not be framed. When the old man followed his teacher as an apprentice, he first served tea and poured water to sharpen knives or something, and then followed to do some work such as framing and polishing seal stones, and a few years later, when the old man had a foundation, he began to learn seal carving.
According to the old man, his framing skills are not much worse than seal carving skills. It's just that the old man doesn't make a living from calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't frame things for others, so this hand-mounted worker is not famous.
Xie Bin took a closer look and found that the old man's own framed words were indeed very good, much better than his Xie Bin's framer. Xie Bin was secretly ashamed, he still wanted to help the old man frame it, who knew that this old man was the real hidden master.
Afterwards, Xie Bin took out the seal script book he had taken from the old man and asked the old man to help explain some ancient characters.
The old man looked at Xie Bin learning so seriously, and he was very happy, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xie, let me tell you, this ancient text, with this big dictionary or something as a reference, as long as you write more and practice more, it will be much easier to learn, don't know or not, only if you copy it twice, you will have the bottom in your heart, this is easier than learning any English, because the pronunciation and glyphs of this ancient script have a great relationship with our Chinese, and some are fundamentally the same, so don't put too much pressure on yourself, take your time." Said and sighed: "Let's talk about words, this thing is broad and profound, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to master them all, just do your best, my old man has studied it all his life, and he has not finished it." ”
Xie Bin nodded, "Don't worry, teacher, I will be attentive, I have been interested in this thing since I was a child, and learning this is much more fun than other things." ”
"Hahaha, it's good that you can think so, alas, it's a pity that your grandfather is gone, otherwise I must meet him and see what kind of character he is, who can cultivate such a grace as you," the old man was quite regretful.
Speaking of his grandfather, Xie Bin smiled slightly, his grandfather is indeed an unusual character, but in Xie Bin's eyes, he is a lazy old man who even needs Xie Bin to wash his socks. However, thinking that the old man's bones had been transported to the capital, Xie Bin still felt a little uncomfortable.
In Xie Bin's heart, he and his grandfather both belong to the mountains of Yilin, and it is natural for the old man to be buried in the mountains. It's just that I didn't expect that the old man had been dead for so many years, and a bunch of relatives had popped up. If the old lady was not there, Xie Bin might have stopped them from moving the old man's bones, but the old lady was there, Xie Bin was a little powerless, he couldn't let the old lady be buried in two pits with the old man after she died.
It's just that I don't know what happened to the old man's old grave in the mountains of Yilin. Thinking of this, Xie Bin said to his teacher: "Teacher, I won't be here in the past two days, I want to go back to my hometown and study with you in a few days." ”
The old man smiled and waved his hand, "You are busy with you, I am not old enough to be served every day," and said: "If you need help with anything, tell me, the old man still has something to do with me in the island city and even Ludong, it is really not okay for you to find Jingjing, that girl's parents are much more capable than my old man's children, haha." ”
When Xie Bin heard this, his interest came, "Teacher, what do Jingjing's parents do?" ”
The old man looked at Xie Bin unexpectedly, "You don't know?" ”
Xie Bin nodded, "Yes, I haven't known her for a long time, she hasn't said it, and I haven't asked." ”
When the old man heard this, he laughed and said, "Since the girl didn't say it, I won't tell you, can you inquire slowly?" Hahaha. ”
Seeing the old man smiling so happily, Xie Bin was also a little puzzled, last time I heard from Heizi Chen Jianjun that Li Jingjing's family has a big auction house. It does have to have something to do with the auction house that can play, but it won't be so mysterious, right? Thinking about it, Xie Bin thinks that Li Jingjing's family may have other industries. It is said that although the island city has developed well in the past two years, it is too short after all, and it is not even a second-tier city now, and it is really not a big deal to have an auction house here, and it may not even be as good as Li Xiaojun's jewelry store.
At noon, the old man's son and daughter-in-law came, and Xie Bin was not embarrassed to disturb the family reunion, so he politely declined the old man's invitation and left. It is said that Xie Bin and Qiao'er's father met for the first time, and they still felt a little strange, so Xie Bin did not stay. It's not that Xie Bin is afraid of life, but that he is not used to making others feel embarrassed.
He Xie Bin is thick-skinned and can talk to strangers, but Qiao'er's parents are a little restrained, and they don't know what kind of attitude to face the old man's newly accepted apprentice. Therefore, Xie Bin, who was aware of this, quietly said goodbye. There is always a process for people to get along, some people may be able to get along well in a short time, but some people need to get familiar with it little by little, Qiao'er's parents are that kind of people.
However, it seems that although Qiao'er's parents are not very sociable, they should not be short of money. Qiao'er's mother, Xie Bin met once, is a very smiling woman, in her thirties, but she can't talk about it. Qiao'er's father is polite, with a high degree of myopia, a serious face, and he doesn't like to talk much.
Xie Bin looked at the appearance of the two of them, but they looked like people engaged in scientific research, but they didn't know what unit they were in.
Back in the Luyuan community, Xie Bin cleaned up and took the car back to Yilin's hometown. The last time I went back, I sat in Yu Fei's limousine, and there were almost no bumps along the way. But now it's uncomfortable to take the bus back, don't mention it, especially at this time, it's very stuffy, and it's really not a pleasant thing to sit in the car and hurry.
A buddy in the car, that athlete's foot, it was really unbearable, but fortunately he got out of the car early. When he returned to Yilin, Xie Bin took a taxi back to the village, asked the taxi driver for a phone call, and continued to look for him when he was about to leave. It is said that although the road in the village has been built, there is no bus or anything, and people in the village can only get on the bus when they get to the town.
Xie Bin was not interested in walking more than 30 miles to the town to wait for the bus that took more than an hour.
