Chapter 33: The Enlightenment Teacher of the Calligraphy Yasheng

The little boy was white and chubby, and broke into the hall with a book in his hand, and when he saw that there were guests in the hall, he was stunned at first, and then he bowed to Yan Yuansun and Pei Min, and said: "I have seen the father, but I don't know that the father is meeting guests in the hall, so I broke in rashly and lost my manners." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He saluted one by one, Pei Min was very surprised, the child in front of him saw that he was only four or five years old, maybe younger, but his every move was like a little adult, the etiquette was appropriate, and the conversation was clear, which was surprising.

Yan Yuansun said: "This is my younger brother Zhenqing, who has been smart since he was a child, and learned Liujia and Wufang calligraphy at the age of three. He said to the child: "Xianmenzi, you step back first, and I will ask you questions in the book later." ”

Pei Min listened to the words "Liuzi Zhenqing", and couldn't help but look at the child twice, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: I saw an amazing character again, although he was still very young!

Yan Zhenqing, Yan Gaoqing's younger brother, the sub-sage of the calligraphy world, is second only to the existence of the calligraphy saint Wang Xizhi in the calligraphy world, and the Yan font he created is almost the font that thousands of calligraphy learners in later generations must learn. is not only calligraphy, Yan Zhenqing is also loyal and wise in dealing with people, unparalleled in the world. According to historical records, Yan Zhenqing was the first person to discover An Lushan's rebellion, and before An Lushan rebelled, he had warned Li Longji, secretly raised the city wall, dredged the moat, recruited strong men, and stockpiled grain and grass. Therefore, An Lushan swept Hebei, and among the twenty-four counties in Hebei, only the plain county under the jurisdiction of Yan Zhenqing did not occupy An Lushan, becoming the biggest nail behind An Lushan.

If Yan Gaoqing's governance of political affairs can be called the first, then his younger brother Yan Zhenqing is the minister of both civil and military affairs, Wu can transfer troops to punish generals, and Wen can govern the country and the country, but the biggest regret and the biggest misfortune is that he was not born in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and did not meet Li Shimin, a master who has the world in mind, and he is as upright as Wei Zheng.

In Pei Min's heart, Yan Zhenqing's talent can be compared with Di Renjie, Di Renjie's strength lies in the fact that no matter what position he is in, he does an extremely good job, even if he is demoted to Peng Zeling and Fuzhou Assassin History, he will not change his heart, and make the county order and Assassin History the first. Yan Zhenqing is the same, even he is worse than Di Renjie. He was successively squeezed out by Yang Guozhong, Yuan Zai, Yang Yan, and Lu Qi, but every time he was excluded from the court, he was able to make remarkable achievements in the local area, so as to return to the court with his political achievements. This dynasty is powerful, it is not a real ability, and it can withstand the ups and downs, so as to show the true level.

Hearing the back "learn Liujia Wufang calligraphy at the age of three" Pei Min couldn't help but be speechless, sure enough, the three-year-old looks older and the seven-year-old looks old, Liujia Wufang calligraphy is the enlightenment book of this era, which is equivalent to the primary school culture of later generations. Ordinary people are not enlightened at the age of three, and Yan Zhenqing, who is in the form of a cute baby, has already been exposed to this knowledge, but it is really amazing.

Pei Min saw that Yan Yuansun asked Yan Zhenqing to go out, and said busily: "It's a good thing for children to have a desire to learn, and they should be encouraged and rewarded." Uncle Yan might as well help Xianmenzi solve his doubts first, so as not to make him wait for a long time. ”

Yan Yuansun bowed his head and said: "Xianmenzi, what do you don't understand?" ”

Yan Zhenqing said: "The ruler is not a treasure, the inch is a competition, and the nephew doesn't know how to explain?" ”

Yan Yuansun said with a smile: "This is to say that the precious jasper is not worth cherishing, but even a moment is priceless." ”

Pei Min responded with a smile: "An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time, this is the truth." ”

Yan Zhenqing's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "My nephew understands, what the sages said is that treasures are all things outside the body, not worth pursuing, time passes, and it cannot be recovered, and you should do something meaningful in a limited time." Xie Shifu and Brother Shi pointed out. With that, he took his leave and left.

Yan Yuansun twisted his beard and praised.

Pei Min looked at Yan Zhenqing and pretended to be deep and said: "This son is quick to think, and he will become a great weapon in the future!" ”

Yan Yuansun agreed.

Pei Min chatted with Yan Yuansun and Yuan's family, said goodbye and left, and re-mentioned the matter of Wang Ju and Lu Li before leaving, so that Yan Yuansun could rest assured that this matter would definitely help them deal with it properly.

persuaded Yan Yuansun and Yuan's who were sending each other, Pei Min walked out of the lobby, and when he walked to the front yard, he saw Yan Zhenqing writing seriously under the sun in the corner, and his expression was extremely solemn.

Pei Min couldn't help but walk over and saw Yan Zhenqing practicing words in front of a calligraphy.

Yan Zhenqing's expression was extremely serious, and he didn't even know that Pei Min appeared behind him.

Pei Min couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw his handwriting crookedly: he was a child after all, his hand strength was not calm enough, and he was still 108,000 miles away from the demeanor of the calligraphy Yasheng. The calligraphy he copied is also very ordinary, and it is not even a famous master's production, and I think it is, who would give an expensive famous calligraphy to a young child to study? But even if it is an ordinary copybook, Yan Zhenqing still takes the trouble to copy it.

"You're not writing it right!" Pei Min is also a Chinese expert, Yan Zhenqing's pen is too delicate, his calligraphy enlightenment is because he is a woman, and he is not good at calligraphy, and he taught the wrong way to write.

Seeing Yan Zhenqing's surprise, Pei Min motioned for him to get out of the way and wrote a letter in person: He was friends with He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu, and his calligraphy was guided by them. Yan Zhenqing's eyes lit up, and Pei Min told him the basic precautions for calligraphy by the way, and casually taught him Wang Xizhi's Yongzi Eight Methods.

Yan Zhenqing listened very carefully and memorized every word Pei Min said in her heart. His guidance gave Yan Zhenqing a great inspiration.

So much so that in the future, when he became a famous person on a par with Fang Xuanling and Di Renjie, as well as a saint in the calligraphy world, Yan Zhenqing talked about calligraphy, and couldn't avoid Pei Min and regarded him as an enlightenment teacher.

Leaving the Yan Mansion, Pei Min thought about Yan Yuansun, returned to the Yushitai, and directly wrote an impeachment letter to tell Lu Li that he was ambitious, dissatisfied with the rewards and punishments of the saints, and that his duties had not been fulfilled, and he wanted to think about it.

The officials in the Imperial Historical Observatory, except for the officials above the patrol level, have the power of direct impeachment, and the documents of their impeachment can be heard directly from the Shangshu Province without the approval of the Shangshu Province. He also showed his muscles and told Wang Ju that Yan Yuansun was covered by him, and he didn't want to hit him again.

Pei Min walked out of the imperial history platform, saw that the time was still early, returned home and took the "unparalleled in the world" given by Li Longji, and rode the little chestnut hair to the peace square to find Zheng Yongtai, the legendary carver with the most outstanding craftsmanship.

The profession of carver was a very popular profession in the Tang Dynasty, because in the history of calligraphy development, Tang Dynasty calligraphy was another peak after the Jin Dynasty. The literati and writers of this era all attached great importance to calligraphy, and writing well was the foundation of their lives, and calligraphy was unprecedentedly developed, so that famous calligraphers emerged one after another. Among them, the most famous are Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, Xue Ji of the four families in the early Tang Dynasty, and the rest of Li Shimin, Zhong Shaojing, Lu Cambodia, Wang Zhijing, etc. are all good at calligraphy.

Especially Li Shimin, as the king of a country, in order to promote calligraphy, once the children of the five grades of the official ministry in Zhaojing practiced in the Hongwen Museum, and specially took out the first line of his collection of books "Lanting Collection Preface" for others to copy. Under his leadership, calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty prevailed in the world. This ethos has also driven the engraving industry!

It is well known that calligraphy is not easy to preserve. Carving the stele has become the only option, and the calligraphy engraved on the stele can be passed down for thousands of years. At the same time, it can also be rubbed from the stone tablet to make a rubbing, and save it for others.

If you want to maintain the original character of your handwriting, a good engraver is essential.

Zheng Yongtai is one of the best, and his carving skills are particularly exquisite, whether it is the shadow extension on the stone, the double hook on the stone, it has reached the point of pure love. For some reason, the person who asked him to rub the plaque and stele was like crossing the river. It is precisely because it is too popular that he has developed a strange temperament, and he does not carve books from non-famous artists, and he does not engrave books from non-famous artists. Even so, there are still countless people who have entrusted him with carving. Even after the knife is sealed, it still can't be avoided.

Pei Min's temperament has always been that he is not immortal in the heart of the Yellow River, and he can invite Zheng Yongtai, the great master of the carving world, to be an apprentice who will never yield to him.

When he arrived at Zheng's mansion, Pei Min knocked on the door.

The porter who opened the door saw Pei Min dressed as a scribe, and said directly: "The son is here to invite my master out of the mountain?" If so, please come back! There is a shop opened by my eldest young master in Yong'an Fang in Nancheng, and the son can go to find the eldest young master to carve. The porter has already memorized this rejection of people's rhetoric, and said it almost without hesitation, which shows that there is no shortage of rejections.

Pei Min was not annoyed, and said: "Under Pei Min, it is indeed ......."

Before he finished speaking, the porter unexpectedly exclaimed, "Pei Min? Which Pei Min? ”

Pei Min was a little unsure, but nodded affirmatively: "I should be the only one named Pei Min in Chang'an!" "The Pei family is a big family, but the surname Pei is not a big surname again, and Min is a rare word, and there are very few people named after Min.

Pei Min!

In Chang'an, there is only this one, and there is no other branch.

"It turned out to be Pei Zhongcheng who went down to earth with Wenwu Quxing, please come in quickly! If my lord knew that Zhongcheng had come to visit, he would have been very happy. Please enter the main hall and wait, and I will go and ask the master to receive you. "The attitude of the concierge has changed 180 degrees, and the enthusiasm is extremely high.

Pei Min thought of the name of the wild goose pagoda, and realized something in his heart.

Sitting in the hall and waiting for a while, the next person sent tea, which turned out to be the mint-flavored tea he was used to, a little surprised, but he didn't know that he was good tea, and the matter of good mint-flavored tea had already spread.

The rapid sound of feet sounded, and an old man who was old but strong and strong walked from the inner hall: "Zheng Yongtai, grass people, I have seen Pei Zhongcheng!" For Pei Zhongcheng, he has admired his name for a long time, especially when he saw your sword book under the Wild Goose Pagoda, he was shocked. The grass people have carved words with a knife for more than 50 years, carved a lot of famous calligraphy, up to Emperor Taizong, Zhong Xuan, Wang Xizhi, down and Chu Suiliang, Ouyang Xun, No. 5 more than 10 years of training, self-proclaimed carved book, no one can compare. But I don't want to have a sky outside the sky, and the grass people never thought that there was such an engraved font as Zhongcheng in the world. ”
