Chapter 666: Calligraphy and Painting
Paper cutting and building blocks are just the two most basic projects of the garden party, which are completed by the junior students, but only through these two projects, the little ones of the Sun family have a much smaller degree of disgust with the school.
Then, they really saw the writing things they hated the most, only to see the desks on the ground, covered with red paper, many twelve or thirteen-year-old senior students, are using a brush to pen on the red paper to walk the dragon snake, most of the officials and students wearing red scarves around their necks, are all gathered here, after looking at the building blocks for a while, the eldest grandson Wuji, who gathered with Sun Xiangfu, also surrounded him, and the red scarves that came before, they didn't make a move, just watched the children write.
"Live and work in peace and contentment, every family is full of spring, and every household is full of food and clothing."
"The scenery is infinitely good, and Vientiane is renewing the country and the mountains are extraordinarily delicate."
······
All kinds of Spring Festival couplets were written on red paper by the children, and when the ink dried slightly, the people took them away.
"Wait a minute, I haven't written a horizontal couplet yet! You can tell the difference between the left and right of this couplet! Horizontal couplet, is pasted in the middle of the door frame, the position should be pasted, the door with this long couplet, the small door of the room in the house, use these short curtains, you have a few main rooms in the house, I will help you write a few short couplets, take the couplet, you can go to the door frame of the classroom to see how to paste. ”
A common man who was waiting in line to get the couplet saw that the ink on one of the tablets had dried, and he was about to go up and take it, but was stopped by the student who wrote the couplet, and while explaining, he pointed in the direction of the classroom.
"Okay, well, my family lives in a resettlement house, there are two main houses on the left and right, you can write them to me, Mr. Xiao, so that my family can also be civilized." When the people heard this, they stood up happily, gave a fist salute to the student who was writing, and no longer hurried to leave, but watched the student who wrote the couplet write, obviously, if he could read, or if his own child could write, he would not be so eager for the couplet.
"Since it is a resettlement house, then, the door frame of the kitchen can also be pasted, I will write you three short couplets! You can paste it in this way, but I wrote it, you have to be able to read it, otherwise, a guest at home comes and asks you what these couplets you posted, and you can't tell them, wouldn't it be very embarrassing. ”
"Read? But I can't read! The people from the next county were a little embarrassed.
"The couplets are very simple, just two very smooth words, you memorize them first, and then compare the words above, one by one, just ······"
"That's good, that's good······"
Such a scene, in the playground of various calligraphy booths are being staged, naturally in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji and many onlookers of the officials, Sun Xiangfu for this situation, is a long expectation, seeing the eldest grandson Wuji they looked at themselves, so let go of the children holding their hands, let them have fun in the campus, and go forward to explain to them, anyway, the guards at home and the county officials are guarding the school gate, they all know their little guys, they can't lose it.
"The Spring Festival couplets will be such an activity, operating into a folk custom, to promote to every household, is also a disguised way to teach the people to read, and the meaning of these Spring Festival couplets are very good, can stimulate the people's yearning for a better life, will make them in their daily life, more kind and open-minded, but, the students' words, written are very general, so that you laugh."
As soon as Sun Xiangfu said this, the eldest grandson Wuji and others tasted it a little, then nodded in agreement, and praised, "The beauty and ugliness of the word may not depend on the spicy degree of the pen, they have a heart, this word, it is a good word, no one will feel ugly." ”
The people present dare to say that the characters of the children who write Spring Festival couplets on the playground are ugly, and there are really not many, because, these children are calligraphy students in the school, they usually have enough time and paper, pen and ink, to practice their own writing level, and there are also Yu Shinan to provide a copy of the calligraphy, Yu Zhen, the children of the Yu family, teach them the most correct basic skills, although most of them have only practiced for more than two years, but their level is enough to be compared with those children from the family, because, A person who really loves this skill, learning this skill, the speed of progress will be much faster than ordinary people, Jiuyuan County students, as soon as they finish the first grade, can choose one or two of their favorite subjects, focus on learning.
"What the eldest grandson said is reasonable, but today's opportunity is rare, you can leave a few more ink treasures to encourage these post-school students to study, and you, there are so many items to eat, drink and have fun, you don't give some back to you, you are not allowed to go."
"Hahaha, don't go, don't go, the culture here is so good, how can my generation of scholars be willing to go······" When many officials saw Sun Xiangfu coaxing, they laughed and answered.
So, under the leadership of the eldest grandson Wuji, these officials with red scarves around their necks or the teachings and students of the state school have written some of the couplets they have thought of in the past two days.
Seeing this momentum, Sun Xiangfu turned around and said loudly to the onlookers, "Fathers and fellow villagers, you all know these big officials with red scarves!" Now they're going to give you the ink treasure they wrote themselves, what a rare opportunity! Come and queue up to get it! ”
Sun Xiangfu coaxed together, and suddenly more people came over here, and the eldest grandson Wuji and the others shook their heads with tears and laughter, but they didn't stop on their wrists, and began to write quickly.
However, this is not over, seeing that many people received the Spring Festival couplets written by these officials, and when they were about to leave, Sun Xiangfu shouted to the crowd again, "With the gifts of these officials, you must remember the friendship with them, and what you can't solve in the future!" Just go to them, think of a way that is beneficial to the place, you can also nag with them, just like the people of our Jiuyuan County, don't be afraid of life, after contact, you will know that they are also from a common people's family, many of them are the sons of farmers, and they will definitely help our big guys find a way to solve problems and live a better life······"
Sun Xiangfu's shout suddenly made the officials who were writing feel heavier, and a force inexplicably rose on their wrists.
How well he said that! Those of us who are officials are also the children of the common people, what we should do is to find a way to make their lives better.
There are hundreds of red scarves that Yu Zhen sent out in Gangneung City! In addition to the teachers and officials in this county, there are hundreds of people who write on a few long desks, and in a few minutes, they can write hundreds or thousands of couplets, and many students help the people who have got the couplets to roll them up and put them in paper bags with the words "New Year Garden Party" and "Congratulations on the New Year" printed on the front and back, telling them that there are still a lot of things to be done in the back, but don't just ask for Spring Festival couplets, fill the bags with them.
After more than half an hour, the tired officials gave up the venue to the students and continued to play.
There are books, naturally there are paintings, next to the calligraphy stall area, there are many easels, here, there are also hundreds of students, are using a variety of colorful dyes or hard pens to paint, and there are many people, in the modeling of these students, more junior students, most of them can only draw some general characteristics according to the characters, a small amount of some background, senior students, but they have been exposed to sketching, Jiuyuan County Art Teacher, but they are all Yan Liben's disciples, Most of these art students who have spent more than two years teaching can use the sketch method to paint portraits to seven or eight images.
"It's amazing, it's really amazing, they are so old, they already have such painting skills, and the future achievements are immeasurable." Most of the readers love to draw, and after seeing the semi-finished products that the children are drawing, and some of the finished products have been made, they have praised them.
The sketch method is Sun Xiangfu provided a part of the theoretical knowledge, Yan Liben enriched and perfected it, it is characterized by likeness, and, with hard strokes, the speed is very fast, a simple character portrait can be completed in a few minutes, a more complex full-body portrait, that is, more than ten minutes.
Of course, at the scene, the most painted is not a head portrait or a full-body portrait, but a family portrait.
"Would you like to draw a family portrait?" The purpose of the garden party is to let everyone play, and the portrait is naturally one of the projects, otherwise, from noon to night, such a long time, it is not so easy to pass, Sun Xiangfu saw that the place where he ate was surrounded by many people, so he didn't want to bring them over to add a burden to the cooks, so he suggested.
The eldest grandson Wuji watched the children paint with great interest, and replied, "There are a lot of people in our family today, and it is not very laborious to paint." ”
"You guessed wrong, there are many people who paint, but it doesn't necessarily take a lot of time, because we have a lot of little painters!" Sun Xiangfu said, then turned his head to Zhang Ke who was following behind him, "Put a few benches for the eldest grandson's family." ”
Not long after Sun Wuji's seven concubines, eleven sons, and nine daughters, under Sun Xiangfu's arrangement, stood and sat in three rows, in the middle was the eldest Sun Wuji himself, a small child, standing in front of him in a row, on the left and right, there were several of his concubines, and the sons and daughters who were taller were all standing in the back row, so that with this arrangement, everyone's upper body could be expressed in the painting.
Then, a large easel was erected not far in front of them, and the five senior students, under the guidance of a teacher, began to paint portraits of their family.
And the other officials were not idle, they called their own family members, like the eldest grandson Wuji's side, moved a long bench over, lined up, and asked the students to draw family photos for them.
Half an hour later, the five painting students put away their pens, and the whole portrait was completed, and not only did they draw their family, but also painted a lot of classrooms, landscape trees and other backgrounds behind them, making the whole painting very three-dimensional.
"Okay, the painting is really good, if this painting is bought by the old man, I am afraid that the price will be thousands, and the old man will be willing to do it."
People with more children and grandchildren, when they see their family photos, that feeling is very wonderful, when the eldest grandson Wuji is admiring, their children also stretched out their heads to look, looking for themselves in front of this big painting, and after seeing themselves, they all showed happy expressions.
In fact, the children's painting level is not to a very high level, most of them are seven or eight images, but this slightly immature painting skill can give people a very different feeling, that is, reality. If these calligraphy and painting teachers who have been painting for many years are allowed to paint, they will definitely find a way to beautify all the people in it and highlight their demeanor, and the painting on the paper will give people a different feeling.
"Hehe, this is a New Year's gift from the children, if you like it, by the way, right away, there are some new things on display here, you can get a good place in front of the stage."
"Something new?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Sun Xiangfu suspiciously and asked.
Sun Xiangfu smiled mysteriously and nodded, "Yes, it is also related to paintings, you will know if you have seen it." ”
At this time, on a small stage next to the calligraphy and painting area, some strange things have been arranged on it, and many musicians and children with accompanying voices are also gathered around the stage, ready to perform.
