Chapter Twenty-Six: Rhyme Grows Rhyme, Fragrance Grows Fragrance
"Flat, straight, even, dense, front, force, light, decisive, supplement, loss, skill, weigh, this is the twelve meanings!"
Yuan Jie thought about it carefully, he was quite accomplished in calligraphy, but he couldn't understand the meaning for a while. However, Yuan's Confucianism and attention to the attainable are teachers, so he lowered his posture and asked shamelessly, "Can you explain it in detail?" ”
At this time, he no longer dared to regard Xu You as an ignorant and vulgar martial artist, on the contrary, in addition to being a little suspicious in his heart, he regarded him as a famous calligrapher who was worthy of sitting with him.
Xu Youcun was impressed by his thoughts, and wanted to play a big point, and said with a smile: "Talking is always on the surface, can there be a real trace of Mrs. Zhong in the house?" ”
"This ......" Yuan Jie said with a wry smile: "Zhong Xuan's authentic works were mostly destroyed in the Wuhu Rebellion, and only the two watches of "Recommended Season Straight Table" and "He Jie Table" have been circulated in the world. ”
Sheep?
Xu You thought to himself what the origin of this person was, and he was able to hold all the only two authentic works of Zhong Xuan in his hands, but he was afraid that if he said too much, he would lose it, so he didn't inquire about the origin of this person, but secretly wrote down his name, and it was not too late to verify it later.
"No real thing? It doesn't matter if there's a copy. ”
"This is easy to say, "Declaration Table", "Recommended Season Straight Table", "He Jie Table", "Adjustment Yuan Table", "Force Life Table", "Cemetery Bingtai", "Yesterday's Sparse Return Post", "White Riding Post", "Common Trouble Post", "Snow Cold Post", etc., there are all copies in the house."
Zhong Xuan's most widely circulated is this "five tables and six posts", Xu You only came to "He Jie Watch", and said: "Then take "He Jie Watch". ”
Yuan Jie immediately turned around and said, "Go to the study and tell Qi Mo to take the "He Jie Table"!" ”
Feng Tong went as ordered, and after a quarter of an hour, he was followed by a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a face like a crown of jade, and his lips were like Danzhu, he should be a scholar named Qimo, wearing a robe and mattress on the top, a trouser skirt on the bottom, a small crown on his head, and his whole body was white.
He lowered his head and walked over with a scroll in his hand, just looking at Xiao Zhi's cautious demeanor, he understood the value of this facsimile in Yuan Jie's mind. And in this quarter of an hour, Yuan Jie didn't say a word, just looked at Xu You's divorce letter at the desk, and watched it carefully word by word.
"Lord Lang, the "He Jie Watch" has been taken." Qi Mo's voice is soft and low, and it is somewhat pleasant.
"Open!"
Yuan Jie still looked at the divorce book intently, and he didn't look at the "He Jie Biao" that was usually very happy at first sight, if Zhong Xiangquan knew about it, I don't know if there would be a sigh of "I only see the newcomer laughing, and I don't hear the old man crying". Feng Tong hurriedly sorted out the case, Qi Mo slowly opened the book, took out a bronze Lying Niu Book and pressed it in the upper corner, and then retreated to the side.
From beginning to end, his gaze was at a thirty-degree angle to the ground, and he didn't look up at anyone!
"Walking on both roads, risking the cold. The minister has no responsibility, he is not obeyed, he wants to look up to his suspense, and there is no peace......" Xu You stepped forward and read the content of "He Jie Biao" softly, his eyes were full of admiration.
Due to the loss of Zhong Xuan's authentic handwriting, the facsimiles that circulated are also copied by later generations, and I don't know how many generations of versions have passed, mixed with the artistic recreation of each generation of authors, in fact, it has long been far away from the original penmanship. But the facsimile in front of me is different, it should be copied from the house of the sheep according to the real handiwork, that is, the legendary "real second generation", whether it is the idea or the pen, the original appearance of the "He Jie Watch" is displayed in front of Xu You at a glance.
Oh, by the way, "He Jie Watch" is a He Jie recital written by Zhong Xuan when he was sixty-eight years old, after learning that Guan Yu was defeated and Mai Cheng was cut off by Sun Quan, he was overjoyed!
"How?" Yuan Jie was finally reluctant to break away from the divorce letter, stood beside Xu You and asked.
Xu You sighed: "Dare to ask whose handiwork this facsimile is from?" Looking at the sudden feeling of a dense and deep quaint atmosphere rushed to the face, full of the true interest of the twelve meanings of Zhongshu! ”
As soon as Yuan Jie heard it, he knew that Xu You was speaking in the jargon, and the little doubt in his heart immediately dissipated, after all, he saw Xu You's handwriting with his own eyes, which could not be faked, and said: "Qilang has good eyesight, this is the "Half Fish Book" written by Lu Lingzi, the master of the Inner Palace!" ”
Qi Mo, who had been hanging his head still, stiffened, suddenly clenched his hands, and released them in an instant, as if he was afraid that others would find out his reaction, and lowered his head. However, he was a little too worried, there were four people in the room, Yuan Jie's mind was all on calligraphy, Xu You was thinking about how to take care of Yuan Jie's flickering life, and Feng Tong's eyes kept rolling on Yuan Jie, not leaving for a moment, ready to figure out the intention at any time, and please the lord of Lang.
Life is so sad, what you think is very important, but in the eyes of others, you can't even leave a little dust!
Chen Lingzi should be a girl's name, but Xu You was not surprised, the inner palace refers to the palace, since the Han Dynasty, there has been a female official system in the palace, which is not surprising.
However, he was not very familiar with the current situation of the Chu State, and after questioning, he learned that after An Shiyue became the emperor, the palace was in ruins, so he adhered to the old system of the Han and Wei dynasties, imitated the rank of central officials, and then made slight changes to establish the female official system of the Chu State.
The first product is the head of the purple pole household, who leads the inner palace; the second product is the Ziji middle supervisor, which belongs to the deputy; The third product is the master of ceremonies, the secretary, the secretary, the clothes, the food, the bed, the work and other six divisions, under each division, each has eight envoys, belonging to the four products, respectively in charge of etiquette, palace affairs, supervision, meals, clothes, music, literature and history, blessings, education, textiles, embroidery, prisons, cleaning, vigil, defense, kitchen, treasury and other affairs. Under the four-rank commander, there are also five-rank governors, six-rank counselors, seven-grade ladies and handsomes, eight-rank generals, ninth-grade female queens, etc., as well as various other miscellaneous duties that do not enter the stream.
And Lu Lingzi is one of the eight palm envoys under the three-rank master of ceremonies, in charge of the classification, preservation, copying and teaching of calligraphy and painting, etc., and belongs to the Qingliu rank among female officials, and is very respected.
Only then did Xu You understand why this girl called Lu Lingzi was able to copy "He Jie Watch" so well, it turned out that she was doing this business herself!
If you want to put it in the future generations, you will definitely be a first-class talent in the counterfeiting world!
"Why is it called 'Half Fish'?"
Yuan Jie smiled, pointed to the lead, and said, "Qilang look here, is it the left half of the small seal with the word 'half fish'?" ”
Xu You leaned down, looked at it carefully, and said: "Sure enough, these two characters are warm, beautiful and clear, although they are very different from the brushwork of "He Jie Table", but I guess it should also be Lu Zhang's own handwriting, right?" ”
"Shichirou's eyes are like torches!" Yuan Jie stroked his beard and said: "Lu Lingzi's small character is half a fish, this is her unique seal." ”
Half fish on land?
Why is this name a little weird, Xu You was amused in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said ashamedly: "I don't know anything about the rules and characters of the DPRK and China, if it weren't for Yuan Gong's guidance, I wouldn't have known that there was such a strange woman in Jinling City." ”
"You are still young, and you are older than Yixing, you don't often walk around Jinling, and you don't know much about these natures." Yuan Jie didn't doubt it, Yixing Shen is a strong sect by force, and it is already unbelievable to be able to teach calligraphy like Xu You, if you really want to say that he is so young, but he knows a lot about everything in the court, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
"This woman is extremely talented, and she rarely thinks of a second person among the women of the court. The famous monk Tan Qian once gave her an eight-character comment 'rhyme outside the rhyme, incense outside the fragrance', but the life experience was sad, and she was forced to confiscate the palace, which made people sigh! ”
Xu You was in a high position in his previous life, and he was used to seeing too many warblers and Yanyan, no matter how beautiful he was, he would inevitably have a relatively tired day, so he was not too keen on women, and he couldn't feel Yuan Jie's lamentation, and said with a smile: "Being able to do the four products of the palm has far surpassed most women in the world, Yuan Gong is inevitably a little worried?" ”
Yuan Jie shook his head and said, "What about the four products?" But they are only slaves and maidservants of their masters......"
This sentence seems familiar, Xu You was in a trance, remembering that he used to read the "Old Tang Book", there is a paragraph in it about Tang Taizong Li Shimin's younger brother, Shu King Li Yuanming's bodyguard asked him to visit the high-ranking female officials in the palace, Li Yuanming said very disdainfully, "She is just the second brother's maid, worship a Mao", and this attitude was praised by Li Shimin "True my brother". Therefore, after all, the female official is not a concubine, she does not belong to the royal family, but a high-ranking worker in the palace, that is, a slave. As for whether the carp can jump into the dragon gate and change from a female official to a concubine, it depends on the emperor's mood, physical strength and aesthetics.
Seeing that Yuan Jie's mood was a little low, Xu You was finally aroused by him to be a little curious about Lu Lingzi, and he usually didn't hear that this Yuan Zuojun had any overly romantic affairs, why did he care so much about the Lu family girl?
Thinking so in his heart, Xu You changed the topic in his mouth and said, "The twelve meanings just mentioned, is Yuan Gong still willing to pollute his ears?" ”
Yuan Jieden came back to his senses, left Lu Lingzi behind, stared at "He Jie Table", his eyes showed a slight glint of excitement, and said, "I want to hear it in detail!" ”
"Flat is horizontal, you look at the word 'Yan', the value of the pen is broken, and the touch is peaky; Straight longitudinal, and then look at the word 'and', it is a simple bet, and there is a thick fiber; It's like the word 'Hu'...... Dense predicate, sharp predicate...... The force is the body, and the light is the bending...... It is decided to be involved, and it is insufficient to make up for it. The loss is more than enough, the clever is the layout, and the size of the name is ......"
Xu You pointed to the words casually, and said that he had just rightly combined Zhong Xuan's twelve meanings in this "He Jie Table", and said that Yuan Jie's voice was breathtaking, like listening to the sound of immortals, and only nodded his head.
"If the pen is evil, there is no angle, the pen is wide and the book is slow, the point is short, the law is bloated, the point is long, the word is horizontal, and the word is slow; Restraint is lacking, and release is less; Pure bones are not charming, pure flesh is weak, less ink is astringent, more ink is dull, only by understanding the twelve meanings of Zhong Taifu, can you really learn the essence between the lines! ”
Yuan Jie was silent for a while, and then laughed and said: "Zi said that it is okay to die at the end of the day when he heard the Tao, and only now do he really understand the meaning of the sage's words." ”
Xu You bowed his head and said: "Yuan Gong praised it, calligraphy is a great and profound, and I am just a first glimpse of the door." Moreover, if he didn't know that Yuan Gong was a person, generous, tolerant, and elegant, he wouldn't dare to say anything casually, saying these generalities to defile the king's ears. ”
Zhong Xuan's Twelve Meanings, is the theoretical research results of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu, a great bull, which has a very important significance in the history of calligraphy, not only for the evaluation of calligraphy to create the aesthetic law of Shen Yun, but also to determine his supreme position in the history of calligraphy. Of course, there is no Xiao Yan in this historical time and space, and Xu You will use his achievements to the end, which can be regarded as not leaving a pearl in the sea.
Yuan Jie was very satisfied with Xu You's humble posture, his eyes kept looking at his face, and then he seemed to sweep the divorce letter on the other side intentionally and unintentionally, with a strange look between his eyebrows.
Xu You was shocked, not good, didn't he show too much, which made this guy have the idea of loving talents, and he wanted to regret not quitting the marriage?
