[Discuss calligraphy with my father-in-law and wife, practice calligraphy hard, and discuss calligraphy with Sun Yu; The big show of Fale Cave Heaven, Xuan Zhenzi passed on the book of heaven. 】

I stroked my palm and said: "Cheng Mingdao 'sex is reason', and the reason that can explore things is to know one's own nature." ”

The father-in-law nodded approvingly and said: "Bo'an is so perceptive, it is exactly like this, so if a painter wants to understand the essence of enlightenment, he must feel the pulse of the heart of heaven, earth and the universe with his heart." ”

My wife answered: "It is said that Fan Kuan sits quietly in the mountains and forests all day long in order to paint landscapes, and quietly contemplates the nature of all things. Even when it snows, or even on a windy day, he wanders under the forest, meditates on it, and then returns to his dwelling, where he translates what he has learned and feels on paper. ”

I nodded and said, "I also know that the Song Dynasty painter Gao Keming also sat quietly in the mountains and forests all day long, quietly observing the mountain scenery, and then went home, eliminated all distractions, and meditated in a quiet house when people and I were forgetting." ”

The father-in-law said strangely: "I have forgotten about people? It seems that Bo'an has a natural atmosphere. Alright, daughter, don't bother Bo'an, let's go out. ”

Madame made a strange face at me, and they went out.

I saw that there were many works by Song Dynasty painters in my father-in-law's study, so I looked through them and figured out their meanings. I practiced for a while, and I realized that when I first started learning calligraphy, I only knew how to copy ancient posts and stop at the glyphs. Now meditate and meditate first, simulate the shape in the heart, and do not put down the pen easily when lifting the pen, so the effect is very good, and I feel that I have benefited a lot.

On the day of his father-in-law's forty-fifth birthday, some relatives and friends came to Zhufu to celebrate, among them was a talented young man Junyi, who was Sun Yu, a native of Danyang who called himself the master of the Seven Peaks. This Sun Yu's calligraphy is quite prestigious, and at a young age, he is famous for his poetry.

During the banquet, my father-in-law asked Sun Yu to pick one or two for me, and when I came to the study, I first meditated, and then solemnly began to write.

Sun Yudao: "Brother Bo'an's writing seems to be respectful!" ”

I responded with the words of Mr. Cheng Mingdao, whom my father often mentioned: "When a certain person writes, he is very respectful, not to be good at writing, but to learn." ”

Then he said, "If you have to be good at writing, how can you learn it?" It is known that the ancients only learned in their hearts at any time, and this heart was shrewd, and good words were also among them. ”

Sun Yudao: "Yes, don't deliberately take good words. ”

I said flatly, "Wrong! If the husband doesn't want to write well, what will he learn? Just don't think a good word, it's also disrespectful. ”

Sun Yu was greatly impressed, he looked at my words carefully, and then said: "Brother Bo'an's words not only inherited the calligraphy style of the distant ancestor Wang Xizhi, but also integrated the calligraphy style of Li Beihai in the Tang Dynasty and Huang Tingjian in the Song Dynasty. And there is a Song Dynasty painting style in the book, but the time is not long, and it still needs to be integrated to be wonderful. ”

At this moment, the audience applauded, and I admired it very much. After that, I seriously consulted Sun Yu for advice, and I benefited a lot.

I accidentally talked to a friend of his, saying that he and I were both geniuses in the world, and his name was Tang Yin, and I immediately shouted: "Brother Bohu! ”

Sun Yuqi said: "Brother Bo'an also knows Bohu? ”

I told me about my grandfather's birthday and Tang Bohu's relationship when I was eight years old, and Sun Yu smiled: "There is fate, there is fate." You two are so much fun. ”

I said, "What? ”

He smiled and said: "Brother Bohu only married his wife Xu last month, isn't it fate for you to marry a wife in the same year?" ”

Everyone at the scene laughed when they heard it.

Later, when I was learning calligraphy in my spare time, I asked Lei Ji and Wang Desheng to go to a Taoist temple, which is located in the southeast of Xiajiang County, there is a jade (sì) mountain, and there is a Taoist temple in the mountain, called Daxiu Fale Dongtian.

Why did I go there? Because according to Lei Ji, he went to the Iron Pillar Palace as I said, but found that the Wuwei Taoist had drifted away, I was unwilling, and asked Lei Ji to inquire carefully, and then I heard that the trace of the Wuwei Taoist was found in this place.

I took the time to go to this place with the two of them, and along the way, I didn't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains, but went straight to the Taoist temple.

However, seeing that the main hall was Huoxiu Palace, I was a little strange, and I saw a young Taoist priest standing here and said, "Are you Mr. Wang Shouren?" ”

I hurriedly saluted, and this person said: "I am a disciple of the Taoist without being a Taoist, there are three books here, and the Taoist chief has explained, and the future of the son is all in this." And ask the gentleman to stay for two hours, and the poor road will help him a little. ”

So, he took me to a secret room and said, "Of these three books, one is a book on health and cultivation; The second is the book of arranging troops, please understand it slowly in the future. And the third is the Book of Talismans. ”

So saying, he opened his book and told me to close my eyes, and I suddenly felt like a steamer on the top of my head, so uncomfortable, and then he drew a talisman for me to drink, and said, "It's all right." ”

Then he left with his hand, and when he left, he said that his Taoist name was Xuan Zhenzi, and these three books were the secret treasures of my life.

Soon, Wang Desheng returned to his hometown, and Lei Ji also went out to study.

A year and a half passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day my father-in-law discussed with me that it was time for me to go back to my hometown Yuyao, and I was busy saying that I had this intention.

So, we began to prepare, and when we were ready to go, my father-in-law told me that I should go to the first generation of Confucian Lou Lang. Anyway, by the way, Lou Liang is in Guangxin, Jiangxi (in today's Shangrao, Jiangxi).

I asked Lou Liang about the situation, and my father-in-law said: "If you want to talk about the inheritance of Confucianism, it can be said that the Confucianism of the Song Dynasty is the theory of reason, while the Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty is the theory of idealism. The former is the 'study of the sect of sex', and the latter is the 'study of the sect of the heart'. And the founder of the Ming Mind is Wu Youbi and his senior disciple Chen Xianzhang. ”

When I heard it, I shouted: "Chen Xianzhang? Is that Mr. Chen Baisha? ”

So, I told my father-in-law the story of the eight-year-old Chen Baisha coming to my house, and when I talked about the poem he wrote when he entered the door, my father-in-law blurted out:

"The bamboo outside the window is green, and the person sitting alone in the window.

In the end, there are no two bamboos and people. ”

I was stunned: "Father-in-law, do you also know this poem?" ”

The father-in-law said: "This poem is very famous, and all Confucians in the world know about it. ”

Seeing my disdainful look, my father-in-law said, "I heard your father tell me about your sixteen-year-old Gezhu, can you tell me about your state of mind at that time?" ”

As soon as I heard this, my head became bigger, and I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Father-in-law, spare me, I have a headache when I think about this, so don't mention it again." ”

The father-in-law smiled: "Okay, but what I want to say is that your answer to Gezhu may be in Chen Baisha's poem, you should think about it." ”

I calmed down and thought about it, but then my head hurt again. I said, "Who sits alone?" If there are no two, how can there be no two? Take it for granted. ”

The father-in-law sighed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this Chen Baisha." Let me talk about this Wu and Bi again, Zhu Zi is his idol. It is said that he dreamed of Zhu Zi and prayed in his dream that Zhu Zi would teach him knowledge. ”

As soon as I heard the dream, I was excited, and when I asked carefully, my father-in-law didn't know.
