Chapter Ninety-Three: Painting
On the second day of the lunar month, the solar term is cold.
Sun Quan sent his descendants to Jiangling as hostages, and the atmosphere on the front line suddenly relaxed, and Guan Yu finally returned to Jiangling, which had been absent for a long time.
Tian Xin was invited and led more than ten horsemen and Yu Tuo's father and son, Zhang Wen and Zhou Wei to Jiangling to participate in the peace negotiations.
The hall of Guan Yu's mansion, this is the first time Tian Xin has come here.
It has been rebuilt, the hall floor has been hollowed out, fire troughs have been erected, and the walls are long-repaired sandwich walls, a kind of primitive fire wall.
The fire trough on the ground is connected to the wall, and when Tian Xin came in, it was warm, and there was a sense of happiness of returning to the northern heating room.
The hall is still covered with wooden floors, and the wooden floors are clean freshly woven bamboo mats.
Guan Yu sat cross-legged on the piano, and saw Tian Xin coming in with a roll of white silk, pretending to be unhappy: "Filial piety comes first, then comes, why do you see outside?" β
"Junhou, this letter occasionally makes a picture scroll in his spare time, there are three volumes, I want to ask Junhou to correct it."
Tian Xin stepped on the fine linen socks and walked lightly to Guan Yu's side, at this time Guan Xing stepped forward to say hello and took Changqin away.
Guan Yu wiped the tabletop, pulled the scroll and spread it together, and saw a realistic picture on the white silk, which read: 'Xiangfan flooded the Seventh Army'.
There are two paintings, one is the decisive battle of Xiangyang, the mountains and rivers, the city and the enemy and our armies have clear flags, which can almost replace the two armies at that time; The other is a simple picture of the flooded Seventh Army, and the picture shows the Jingzhou Army surrendering to the Forbidden Seventh Army and capturing Pang De.
Guan Yu didn't care much about the flooded Seventh Army map, he stared at the decisive battle map of Xiangfan and couldn't take his eyes off it: "Filial piety, there are millions of soldiers in your chest." If you are not a good general, you can't make this map. β
"It's just that I'm afraid that future generations will forget this battle, so I will make a picture to remember, so as to inspire my children and grandchildren, so that they will not forget the difficulty of starting a business."
Tian Xin spread out the second volume of paintings, with four words on the inscription, to see the killing of Lu Meng.
The background is naturally the Huwei army that he burned down the gate of Jiangling City to break the corruption, and the main characters are Lu Meng, Sun Quan, and thirty or forty people of all sizes crowded in the military tent, and the tent gate is also crowded with military officials.
There is also a written record on the side, which Guan Yu carefully reads, and the content is Tian Xin's analysis of the cause of Lu Meng's death.
It's nothing more than that he was not in good health, he attacked Jiangling under great pressure but failed miserably, and Sun Quan came to visit, and Lu Meng's mood fluctuated greatly; And so many people inside and outside are surrounded, naturally they can't breathe well, and they die of tightness in their chests.
Guan Yulu smiled: "Xiaoxian, this painting is going to be sent to Jiangdong?" β
Tian Xin grinned and smiled: "Wouldn't it be a pity to send it to Jiangdong and let Sun Quan cut it with a sword?" There was the death of Lu Meng first, and then there was the victory of our army in Maicheng. I thought that Sun Quan had a merit in killing LΓΌ Meng, so he should be invited to play the King of Han and crown Sun Quan as the King of Wu of the Han Dynasty. β
"How dare Blue-Eyed be king?"
Guan Yu turned his head sideways and instructed Guan Xing: "If the wine is warm, take half an urn first." β
Guan Xing, who was close to him, was reluctant to leave, and walked to the side hall where the fire was lit to get wine, and soon Guan Xing, Guan Ji and more than a dozen boys and girls came to the hall with dishes.
Tian Yan lined up with a stack of bowls in her arms, but she just looked at Tian Xin, but she couldn't help but pounce.
After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, Tian Yan followed Guan Ji and left, blending into the collective life.
Guan Yu drank half a bowl of warm rice wine first, and was hearty: "I have been fighting the world for more than 30 years, and I can't do without wine to relieve pain in rainy seasons, and the cold in winter is even more tormenting. Filial piety first improved the fire kang, but saved a lot of sorrow. β
Guan Xing scooped wine on one side, and Guan Yu pointed out: "If filial piety is regarded as a talent for folding, it is really a pearl of secret investment." Filial piety first has the ability to support the community, and in the future, it is necessary to restrain the temperament. If you are brave, you may be counted by others. β
"What the prince taught, faith should be remembered. It's just that the country is in a difficult situation, the enemy is strong and I am weak, if I spare my life, the soldiers are afraid of the war and do not advance, so that the war will last for a long time, and the casualties will inevitably be heavier. If you can win it with a dignified army and a national strength, you don't dare to fight bravely. β
In the final analysis, the national strength is still insufficient, and we can only rely on the main general to charge and boost morale, in the hope of driving the whole army's fighting spirit to form a sweeping trend and achieve the effect of defeating the strong with the weak.
"Those who are good at fighting have no great feats, and this is the reason."
Guan Yu bowed slightly, and scrolled to the third volume of the picture, sure enough, it was the Battle of Maicheng, in this scroll, Sun Quan appeared on the Fushui pontoon bridge, and was jumping off the Huagai Rong car with his legs, Tian Xin deliberately drew Sun Quan's waist, which appeared to be short.
Tian Xin's realistic painting style, coupled with a little exaggerated expression of the characters, seems as if Sun Quan is about to jump out of the picture scroll.
"Hmph."
Guan Yu couldn't help but let out a snort, haha laughed: "Xiaoxian, you want to make Sun Quan laugh for a thousand years." Murder is just like that? β
"The prince likes it, and it's not in vain that I suffer a lot."
Tian Xin took a sip of tea, and said with a little emotion: "When the prince entered Xiangfan, he was full of pride, and I was deeply worried. During the first battle of Houmaicheng, the prince suffered from gains and losses. Today's princes are as humble as a valley, which is really a gratifying thing. β
Guan Yu drank half a bowl of wine again, went back to look at himself in a few scrolls of paintings, and sure enough, as Tian Xin said, in the picture of the flooded Seventh Army, he seemed to have colluded with his feet to the power of the earth, and he could call the wind and rain with a wave of his arms, just like a golden armor god.
Looking at the battle of Maicheng again, he led 700 cavalry to line up on the flank of the Wuwei Army, as if he was ready to lead 700 knights through the gap in the enemy's formation at any time to launch a decisive assault on Sun Quan's main formation...... Like a gambler.
He can't afford to lose the battle of Maicheng, and he is willing to do everything.
Now, it doesn't matter if you win or lose.
"It's still filial piety to me."
Guan Yu drank half a bowl of wine: "After I frame this picture, I will send it to Chengdu." Such a grand event should be seen by King Han and Yide. β
said with a smile: "Yide will also be convinced." β
Tian Xin grabbed a few fried broad beans from the plate, which were soaked and sprouted and fried crispy, the taste was extremely crispy, and it was slightly sweet after chewing: "Junhou, this is a trial draft." Why don't I take the time to draw another roll and send it to Chengdu? β
"This thing can be left alone in the world."
Guan Yu was reluctant to roll up the scroll, and suddenly said: "It's better to stay for a while than filial piety, I want to ask filial piety to paint for my family, and send it to Chengdu after the painting is completed." It is best to deliver it to King Han and Yide before Chinese New Year's Eve. β
Tian Xin was quite curious and responded smoothly.
That's right, I can paint realistic portraits, with a strong sense of space in the picture, even if the painting skills are simple, it is still an epoch-making creative style.
Painting Takasen Sainteda?
Wu Daozi, Wu Daozi, I'm sorry.
The regular script has the culmination of Zhong Xuan's predecessors, and each family has certain characteristics, and it cannot grab the name of the saint of the book.
Cursive, wild grass and other things are too high for their cultivation, and being able to write a handful of lines is already worthy of the interest class reported by their parents.
After the resignation, Tian Xin asked: "Before Chinese New Year's Eve, can Brother Dingguo return to Jiangling?" β
"He will keep the New Year in Xiangyang, Dingguo is not there, but will it hinder the painting?"
"It's okay, if you close your eyes, you can recall the change in Brother Dingguo's expression."
While speaking, Mrs. Guan finally led someone to bring the main meal, which was full of pots and pots of stewed and rotten mutton.
When entering the table, Guan Ji was a little uncomfortable, and saluted Tian Xin: "Big ...... Big...... Big ......"
Facing Tian Xin's smiling gaze, she was even more speechless when she was nervous, her goose egg face was red, and she simply covered her face and ran away.
Tian Xin was stunned, probably because the memories of the first meeting made Guan Ji feel embarrassed.
Guan Xing ran out with him, Guan Yu just shook his head and smiled, pointing to the boys and girls around him who had already started to grab mutton and introduced to Tian Xin, it turned out that they were all the heirs of Xiangyang military officials.
The wives of these military officials went to Xiangyang to reunite with their babies who were a little older or could not let go, and these half-grown children had to be fostered here by Guan Yu.
I heard Guan Yu say: "Xiaoxian lectured on "Thousand Character Text" in Maicheng, and many officials and soldiers were tired of military travel and were unable to raise their children. The officials hoped to move their children to Maicheng and learn the "Thousand Character Text" with filial piety. If you have time for filial piety in the future, you might as well teach "Three Cangs". β
There are only 1,000 words in the thousand-character text, but the current enlightenment and literacy of Sancang has 7,308 crosses.
Li Si's "Cangjie Chapter" is the first volume of Sancang, Yang Xiong's "Cangjie Training Chapter" is the middle volume, and Jia Yi's "Joy Chapter" is the second volume, which is collectively called Sancang.
The advantage of the thousand-character text is that it is catchy and easy to memorize, the structure is connected to the previous and the next, and its knowledge is coherent and easy to remember, and it also lies in Tian Xin's regular script.
