Chapter 521: Copying the Huang Ting Sutra
"Enlightened Daoist, this is what you are talking about, copying a piece of Huang Tingjing calligraphy, there is no problem, but it is a little difficult to be exactly the same." Chen Yi looked at the calligraphy of Huang Tingjing on the desk, and said helplessly.
From this calligraphy, he felt a lot of strange brushwork, if he was asked to write a Huang Tingjing according to the brushwork, it was very easy, but looking at this calligraphy, copying exactly the same, without charm, he did feel a little difficult.
"This calligraphy has no charm, just copying the font, it can be a difficulty for you, don't you kid want this calligraphy." Wuzhen Dao couldn't help but show a strange look on his face, Chen Yi's tea-making level made them amazed, and similarly, this attainment in calligraphy and painting was the same, in some aspects, it had almost reached the level of He Wenzhi.
He Wenzhi is now in his forties, even if he has been in a state of madness for more than 20 years, and his level in calligraphy and painting is definitely impossible to compare with a young man in his twenties, but this is born in Chen Yi.
Chen Yi shook his head, and then said: "Enlightened Daoist, do you remember what I said before, on this calligraphy, I feel some brushwork, maybe it's my hallucination, maybe it's the calligraphy itself, all I can leave you with is a different calligraphy from this one, I can guarantee that the font is not much different, but let me copy a calligraphy without verve, I really can't do it." ”
For more than a month, he had to copy this calligraphy every day, and the meaning of the brushwork in it had already penetrated into his mind, even if he copied it reluctantly. It's not exactly the same. And. If it weren't for the brushstrokes he felt, with this calligraphy without any charm, it wouldn't be a piece of calligraphy at all, and it wouldn't have any value.
If it's just a font, he can guarantee that it is not much different from this calligraphy, but it will naturally contain verve.
"This is indeed a bit strange, Lao Dao and some of the ancestors, there are also outstanding calligraphers. But when studying this calligraphy, there is no slightest feeling, maybe it is really when you watch calligraphy in the Xuan Miao Pavilion every day, and then copy this calligraphy, some feelings of other calligraphy appear in your mind, otherwise, it can really only be explained by the wordless heavenly book, only you can feel it. ”
Hearing these serious words, Daoist Wuzhen took the calligraphy from Chen Yi's hand and unfolded it on the desk. After reading it, I couldn't help but shake my head and say. He still didn't feel anything about it.
Xuanji Daoist smiled, if you can't see anything in their hands, but you can feel the brushwork in Chen Yi's hand, then it is really a chance, "Chen Jushi, then you can copy a piece of Huang Tingjing according to the feeling in your heart, let's see how big the gap is with this calligraphy." ”
Wuzhen Dao Chang nodded, "According to what Xuanji said, what you have in mind, just write it, originally this piece of calligraphy is useless in the Xuanmiao Pavilion, and it is meaningless to write another painting that is exactly the same." ”
"Thank you for your understanding, since this calligraphy is on silk, please help me prepare a yellow silk." After Chen Yi thanked the two Wuzhen Daoists, he was ready to start copying calligraphy, the material used in this calligraphy was yellow silk, so he naturally needed to use yellow silk, but in the study where they were, there was no silk paper, only rice paper.
At the same time, Chen Yi also wanted to see what it would be like to write on the yellow silk with the handwriting and brushwork that he felt from this calligraphy.
Xuanji Daoist nodded, walked out of the room, and ordered the disciple to get the yellow silk, and after five or six minutes, several rolls of yellow silk were taken.
"Chen Jushi, the specifications of these yellow silks are the same as this Huang Tingjing, as for the quality, there may be some differences, the materials used in this yellow silk are of very good quality, otherwise, they would not have been so well preserved from the history of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years." The Xuanji Daoist handed over the several rolls of yellow silk rolled together in his hand to Chen Yi's hands.
Chen Yi nodded, "Thank you Xuanji Daoist, I will write out the penmanship I felt from copying this calligraphy, I hope you can be satisfied." ”
As he spoke, he cleaned up the desk, and then put one of the yellow silks on the table, and the calligraphy of the Huang Tingjing was placed on top.
Since it is a table used for calligraphy and painting, this table is more than two meters long, and there is no problem with spreading the two-meter yellow silk completely on the table.
Looking at the calligraphy above, Chen Yi used the copying technique, and at this moment, not only did he have a new sense of brushwork, but even some of the previous brushstrokes in his mind were constantly recalling.
Since this was a work that was left in the Xuan Miao Pavilion to replace the calligraphy of Huang Tingjing, he had to do his best to write, so that the style of his brushwork that he felt was completely displayed on the blank yellow silk in front of him.
Chen Yi looked at the calligraphy of Huang Tingjing above, constantly feeling, and exuding a sense of peace, at this time, he suddenly picked up the brush next to him, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the blank yellow silk.
This Huang Ting Jing is written on the original Wang Xizhi in the small Kai, is also the italics of small characters, founded in the Three Kingdoms Wei Zhong Xuan, and Wang Xizhi and called Zhong Wang, later generations of calligraphers, all to the two as the patriarch.
Although the italics and the small Kai are a big word, a small word, but the difference is very obvious, when writing large characters to be intimate, when writing small characters can be more than enough, the most basic writing principle is to write large characters to be able to do small words like precision, when writing small characters to be able to do large characters in general comfort.
Zhong Xuan is the founder of italic, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Xizhi is the small block calligraphy carefully studied, so that it has reached the realm of perfection, but also set up the Chinese small block calligraphy beautiful appreciation standard, small block is the ancient daily use of the necessary calligraphy, the imperial examination, are based on the small block font as the standard, the general reader, are good at writing small characters.
Wang Xizhi's Huang Ting Jing has 60 lines, a total of more than 1,200 words, Chen Yi's mind in the penmanship, has been in this month or so, I have felt a pole, at this time, writing, almost like a divine help.
He had practiced writing and drawing on silk paper for a while, and now he had no problem writing.
In the process of writing, Chen Yi is still constantly feeling some of the brushwork, completely integrating what he felt before, and at this moment, what emerges from his heart is completely Wang Xizhi's thoughts, as if he has become Wang Xizhi now.
It's just that this feeling is very shallow, and there may be very few perceptions at one time, but Chen Yi has been copying for more than a month, and now he has collected all the calligraphy he has copied in this month.
Even if Chen Yi had copied this calligraphy nearly 100 times, coupled with the use of calligraphy and copying, his degree was a little faster, but it still took him nearly two hours to complete the nearly 1,200 words.
If you write a line of writing or cursive, Chen Yi's degree will naturally be much faster, but this regular script is the slowest of all calligraphy, pay attention to the shape of the square, the strokes are straight, must be written stroke by stroke, and the line of calligraphy is a coherent stroke.
If you want to have both form and spirit, and have charm, then the pen needs to be more stable, so that the writing will be slower, Chen Yi has now copied this Huang Ting Sutra, and has reached a very proficient realm, plus the addition of two skills, it is only more than 500 words written every hour, this degree can be regarded as very fast.
Wang Xizhi's Xiaokai pursues a harmonious beauty, combining rigidity and softness, peace and simplicity, ethereal and elegant, and what Chen Yi writes is exactly what he feels in his heart.
Finally, two hours and ten minutes passed, and Chen Yi wrote the last signature, which was written in Shanyin County on May 24, the twelfth year of Yonghe.
After writing this last word, Chen Yi put away his pen and stood up, slowly exhaled a breath, and came back to his senses from this calligraphy.
At this time, seeing that Chen Yi had finished his calligraphy, the Daoist Master of Wuzhen and the Daoist Master Xuanji on the side walked forward quickly and looked towards the desk, which made them look surprised.
The calligraphy written by Chen Yi is simply two appearances and two realms from the calligraphy they have in the Xuanmiao Pavilion, and now they are placed on the desk, forming the most stark contrast.
The Tang Dynasty silk Huangting Jing, the font on it, only form, but no charm, can be said to be worthless.
However, Chen Yi looked at this calligraphy copy of the silk work, but they felt a kind of calm, with a round brush, in which they even felt the simplicity of the Han and Wei fonts, simple but not losing the posture, beautiful and cheerful, the artistic conception is lofty.
The two of them, one is the master of the Sanqing view, the other is the master of the Xuanmiao Pavilion, and they also have a dabble in calligraphy and painting, not to mention that they can compare with some famous artists, but under the invasion of Taoist culture, the appreciation of the formation is very unique, for the Taoist classic "Huang Tingjing" written by Wang Xizhi, they have studied and appreciated many times, not only Wang Xizhi's rubbing, but also the copying of various generations of famous masters.
In Chen Yi's calligraphy, they did not feel the brushwork style of other calligraphy masters, but only felt the brushwork in Wang Xizhi's Xiaokai Huangting Jing, which was exactly the same as the breath they felt on the rubbing, but this breath was slightly weaker.
After Chen Yi closed his eyes and stood for a while, then he opened his eyes, his eyes were on the Huang Ting Jing written by himself, and after watching and feeling it carefully for a while, he nodded slowly. (To be continued......)
