Generally speaking, the fonts used in the couplets are regular script or line script, official script, and some of them use Song style, which naturally takes into account that the place where the couplet is posted is in front of each household.

The text written in these fonts can be said to be understood by all ages, which is mainly used to express people's praise for life and good wishes for the future.

The couplets used in the Spring Festival, basically only hung for two or three days to complete the task, so these face the ordinary people used paper is not very good, he in his master's home, he has also seen some couplets with a history of several decades, still well preserved, the paper used, is specially used to write couplets of red rice paper.

The couplet paper sold by this old man is not very bad, but it is also average, much better than those thin pieces of paper that rot when you stab it, it can support on-site writing, and the quality of this paper is also very guaranteed.

The font chosen by Chen Yi is naturally copied from the original handwriting of Wang Xizhi's Huang Tingjing, although it is said that Xiaokai is famous for small characters, this does not mean that Xiaokai cannot write large characters, but inexperienced people cannot control the change of fonts at all.

Writing large characters is very different from writing small characters, you can write large characters, you may not be able to write small characters, in other words, you can write large characters intimately, small characters should be more than enough, when writing large characters, the paper space becomes larger, and you can sprinkle it arbitrarily, as a result, the font becomes loose and wide, and when you write small characters, the space becomes smaller. I'm worried that I won't be able to write, so I try my best to shrink it. Often too much contraction. It becomes curled up, which is the cause of natural psychology.

To make large characters like small characters, to make small characters like large characters, for the conversion of upper and lower case, Chen Yi has gained a lot of experience in the continuous perception of calligraphy.

If Xiaokai is written too loosely, then it will not reflect the beauty of Xiaokai at all, but will become very ugly. Writing large characters can still ensure the tightness of the small letters, which is very difficult to do.

In the era when a person can be a calligrapher with a brush and write a ghostly cursive script, there are very few people who can write regular script and control it freely.

Under the perception of intermediate calligraphy, Chen Yi slowly picked up the pen and slowly wrote a pair on the couplet paper. Spring is full of flowers in the world, and the small courtyard of Fulin is always safe all year round. And the horizontal batch is to celebrate the Spring Festival.

After Chen Yi only wrote two or three words, the old man on the side showed a look of surprise on his face, and as Chen Yi wrote progressively, his surprise became more and more intense.

When he finished writing this pair, he was about to take the paper aside to dry first, and then continue to write, the old man on the side hurriedly reached out and took it, "Young man, you continue to write, I'll put it aside to dry, you write first." He held back the curiosity and surprise in his heart and said to Chen Yi.

Afraid that his inquiry would affect Chen Yi's writing, after that, Chen Yi started to write out a few couplets of Spring Festival couplets that he was thinking about, and their sentences were wrong, all of which expressed good wishes for life.

And the people next to him saw the beautiful words written by Chen Yi, and they all cheered one after another.

At this time, the calligraphy written by the old man was also on the table, and compared with Chen Yi's, many people could see that the calligraphy written by Chen Yi was better than the old man's.

The old man standing on the side has been watching Chen Yi write, put on the table those couplets, the face is not the kind of resentment that is compared, but completely excited, after Chen Yi put away the pen, he hurriedly walked over, "Young man, your calligraphy skills are shocking, you can write such a tight and elegant big character in small letters, it has a clear and strong atmosphere, and it does not lose its gentleness, rigidity and softness, it simply has a bit of Wang Xizhi's style, people can't believe it, I don't know who the young man's surname is, who he studied from." ”

"The old man has won the award, my surname is Chen, as for who my master is, he has explained it to the old man, and he can't mention it casually, so I can't say more, I'm sorry." Chen Yi said with a slow smile, with his current level of calligraphy and appraisal, he can naturally see that the old man's calligraphy level is not very high, I am afraid it is just a hobby, and he has retired to write.

As for the master who taught him calligraphy, no one really taught him how to write calligraphy by hand, and if there was, the owners of the calligraphy works he copied could be said to be his master.

What makes his regular script reach the current level is undoubtedly Wang Xizhi, and in cursive script, there are Zhang Fei and Huangxiang.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's the old man who is abrupt, your Xiaokai can reach the current level, I'm afraid I have been practicing calligraphy since I was a child, Wang Xizhi's Xiaokai, can write that you have both form and spirit, and can be big or small, in modern terms, Liao Liao is very little." The old man said with a sigh that although his calligraphy level was not too good, it did not affect him to appreciate calligraphy.

Just because some antiques and antiquarians appreciate antiques doesn't mean they will make something about it.

"That is, Brother Chen Yi is the most powerful, only he can be worthy of my sister." At this time, Shen Yuxi heard the old man's praise, and puffed up his chest very proudly and said.

When the old man heard this, he took a closer look at Shen Yujun and smiled, "This little girl is right, look at this girl is dignified and generous, with an extraordinary temperament, she must also be a scholarly disciple, and she can be described as a talented woman with a beautiful woman." ”

And Shen Yujun's face flushed slightly at this time, and he thanked the old man softly.

"Old man, thank you for your old compliment, how much are these couplets." Chen Yi thanked the old man and said with a smile, you can't talk here all the time, delaying other people's business.

The old man laughed, looked at the couplet that Chen Yi had just written, and said: "Young man, I don't want your money, just give me this couplet under your hand, but I want to make a stamp, young man, I hope you can fulfill my wish." ”

"What, don't need money, it's so good, old man, then I'll write you a pair too, and you can also give me a few couplets." At this time, some people were coaxed with envy on the side.

"Hehe, as long as you can write this young man's words, how about I send you a few couplets." The old man shook his head and said with a smile, writing this small couplet not only depends on continuous efforts, but also requires a high talent in calligraphy.

Otherwise, there have been many famous calligraphers in China for 5,000 years, but there are a few people who can reach the fame and status of Wang Xizhi.

Looking at the old man's eager gaze, Chen Yi thought for a while and nodded, "Old man, this paper is red, so I'll stamp it with a yellow seal." ”

"Okay, young man, no problem, do you have yellow ink, if not, I have." The old man nodded again and again and asked.

"Old man, I have ink, so you won't bother." Chen Yi said with a smile, there is also some attention to stamping on the couplet, some couplets are red, so naturally you can't use red cinnabar ink when stamping, but use yellow, of course, if you don't have yellow ink or don't want to do this, then you can cut a small piece of rice paper and print it on the work.

The old man nodded, "Very well, young man, you write first, and I'll go and wrap those couplets for you." After speaking, he turned around and rolled up the couplets that Chen Yi had written.

Chen Yi smiled slightly, and left the payment at the bottom left of the lower link, Haoyang Chen Yi on a certain day in a certain month, and then took out the seal after cleaning in the storage space, as well as the yellow ink, and stamped it next to the payment.

After covering it, the old man also wrapped his couplet, Chen Yi took the bag, thanked the old man with a smile, and left here with Shen Yujun and the two little girls.

And the old man turned around and looked at Chen Yi's payment, Haoyang Chen Yi, it was nothing at first, but after reading it carefully a few times, his face showed a shocked look, and he hurriedly rushed out of the crowd and searched around, but Chen Yi and the others had long since disappeared.

"Big brother, what are you doing, Haoyang Chen Yi ran out after reading it a few times, isn't it possible that this young man is still a big man." Several middle-aged people on the side asked with some confusion.

The old man resisted the urge to blurt out Chen Yi's identity, looked at these people, and shook his head with a smile, "He's not a big person, I rushed out just because he didn't have one less stamp." As he spoke, the old man gently put away Chen Yi's couplet, put it in the box on the side, and locked it.

Chen Yi, these people don't know it's because they are lonely and unheard, in the antique culture circle, who else doesn't know Chen Yi's name, worships Zheng Lao as a teacher, and found Zhang Fei's beef and bamboo slips.

At that press conference, although Chen Yi appeared, but in the current situation of the extremely developed cultural industry, some stars will be forgotten if they don't often perform on stage, let alone just a Chen Yi.

Originally, he thought that Chen Yi's chapter grass might be very good, but now he didn't expect that this Xiaokai was also written at such a high level, he felt that he came out to set up a stall to practice calligraphy this time, and he simply earned it.

"Brother Chen Yi, you are awesome, that old man didn't even ask for our money." At this time, Shen Yuxi looked at Chen Yi with admiration, and so did Chen Yating on the side.

Shen Yujun smiled, "Xiaoxi, that old man will be happier than your brother Chen Yi in the future." ”

"Why is that, we exchanged a couple of couplets for a few of his couplets, and we should be happy." Shen Yuxi asked a little uncertainly.

"You've seen your father's paintings, one of his paintings can sell a few paintings of others, now you understand?" Shen Yujun can explain in a simple way that Chen Yi's calligraphy is worth Xiao Shenghua's five million to buy, and what he is writing now is a couplet, and the value of one word is higher than that of small characters.

Shen Yuxi nodded as if he didn't understand, "Oh, sister, I know, in short, Brother Chen Yi is very powerful." ”

Hearing his sister's words, Shen Yujun was a little crying and laughing, and when he saw the gloating smile on Chen Yi's face, he immediately pinched Chen Yi's waist with his hand. (To be continued......)
