Chapter 018: A Generation of Grandmasters

"Although we have seen each other for less than a day, the little nephew believes that the three uncles are not temperamental people who are bound by etiquette." As soon as Mrs. Luo and Zheng Mo left, Luo Tong became restless

Ouyang Xun smiled and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"There is an ancient saying that if the three uncles are people who are confined to secular etiquette, how can they jump out of the trajectory of their predecessors and become a family in calligraphy! This lobby is a little dull! Presumably the three uncles don't like it either! ”

Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang all laughed heartily, obviously Luo Tong said that they were in trouble.

"The old plum blossoms in the East Courtyard are blooming brightly, why don't we follow the example of 'Green Plum Cooking Wine on Heroes' and come to a 'Watching Plum Cooking Wine Calligraphy', what do you uncles think?"

Luo Tong doesn't know how these three are, anyway, he doesn't like to be so formal, art! It is necessary to be in a relaxed environment in order to let go of all the free talk.

"Plum viewing, wine tasting, storytelling...... Wonderful! ”

Yu Shinan's eyebrows danced, and he was the first to respond!

Ouyang Xun and Chu Suiliang were also amazed!

Luo Tong explained, and then led the three calligraphy masters to the east courtyard!

The Tanguo Mansion covers a huge area and can be divided into four courtyards: east, west, north and south.

As the "head of the family", Luo Tong lives in the East Courtyard. Mrs. Luo lived in the north courtyard, the west courtyard was empty, and the south courtyard was where Zheng Mo and fifteen servants lived.

Unknowingly, I came to the East Courtyard. In the courtyard, I saw a small lake in front of me, and there was a kind of bamboo in the water in the middle of the lake, as well as a piece of residual lotus.

The rockery waterfall in the distance splashes down, like a landscape painting. There is a pavilion in the heart of the river, a long bridge connects the two places, the jade pavilion on the bridge is high and low, the shape is simple and elegant, exquisite and chic, and the residual lotus in the lake contrasts with each other, there is the blessed land of the immortal seclusion.

The houses are full of exotic flowers and plants, and even more ingeniously, there is no avenue in the garden. It is full of quiet paths, winding and connected, which is fascinating.

It's time! The snow is deep and the plum blossoms, the muddy moss is embellished with jade, and the snow is even young, although it is still as strict as before, but the plum fragrance is refreshing, which makes people's hearts and spleens clear.

"Great place!"

Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang were all amazed, and it is indeed a pleasure to talk about calligraphy here.

Luo Tong smiled and led them to the Huxin Pavilion, on the stone table! It's full of sweets and dried fruits! A jar of fine wine is boiling on the stove, the white air is curling, and the aroma of wine is overflowing! The stone bench was also covered with a thick blanket! In front of the stools, there is a stove for heating! On the other side, there is a book case, and on top of the case, there are all kinds of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!

Luo Tong invites the three of them to take a seat! Personally fill the three families with good wine!

Drink three cups, and that's the point!

Luo Tong said with a smile: "The three uncles have known each other for many years, and there is no need to say more about calligraphy, how about writing a few words by the little nephew to drink?" ”

"Drink with calligraphy! Wonderful! ”

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed, they came here to visit, mainly to enjoy Luo Tong's Mobao, and they had no objection to Luo Tong's proposal, so they left the table one after another and walked to the next desk!

Yu Shinan studied under Wang Xizhi's seventh grandson, the Sui Dynasty calligrapher Zhiyong Zen Master, Ouyang Xun learned from Han Li, and Chu Suiliang won Wang Xizhi, Yu Shinan, and Ouyang Xun. Although they all have their own unique paths, there will inevitably be situations between words.

Although Yan Zhenqing learned from Ouyang Xun and Zhang Xu, his regular script is mostly self-innovative, so it is not easy.

Luo Tong is the same, his font is at least six points similar to Yan Ti, but it has nothing to do with the current calligraphy, and it is precisely because of this that the three families are so fascinated. When Chu Suiliang got out of the government affairs, the three of them couldn't wait to come to the door.

There are three famous calligraphers staring, Luo Tong does not dare to be careless, and he is the best work

"Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward. will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan. Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light. After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born. Save Zhao with a golden hammer, Handan was shocked first. Two strong men in Qianqiu, Xuanhe Liang City. The bones of the arson are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world. Who can write Your Excellency, the white head is too mystical. ”

He wrote Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey", which has the most heroic atmosphere and the feeling of being alone.

Luo Tong's calligraphy is open and vigorous, the ink is dripping, the penmanship is strict, and a stroke of the pen is like the stabbing of a long sword, and the structure is exquisite without revealing the muscles and bones. With this song "Chivalrous Journey", it is even more wonderful.

The momentum of poetry and calligraphy are integrated into one, which can be called a masterpiece through the ages.

Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang looked moved and looked at each other in shock. This "Chivalrous Journey" Luo Tong wrote a hundred times better than "Golden Threaded Clothes".

When writing "Golden Silk Clothes", Luo Tongtu was fast, and although he wrote well, he did not write the essence of this regular script.

But now, with the three great masters watching, Luo Tongtong wrote with his heart, wrote his own level, and wrote the essence of regular script.

Energetic through the center, the pen is dignified, but the sharp corners are out, the sword is tense, and there is a great attitude of falling and falling.

Luo Tong looked at this "Chivalrous Journey" for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses, and even the brush fell out of his hand, and he didn't feel it at all!

After a long time, he suddenly shouted out in a gaffe: "Impossible, impossible!" ”

Look like crazy, like crazy!

The three people who were admiring him were startled, and looked at Luo Tong in surprise, wondering what happened to him?

Luo Tong muttered to himself, as if he understood or not: "No, the most proud work I wrote before is far inferior to this one." Extraordinary performance! ”

As soon as Luo said the phone, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang were startled, they had all thought about this possibility for each other, but they didn't expect Luo Tong to mean this.

Yu Shinan asked, "Virtuous nephew! What is your state of mind when you write? ”

Ouyang Xun and Chu Suiliang were also quite nervous and expectant

Luo Tong was a little embarrassed and said: "The three of them are watching from the sidelines, and the little nephew is very nervous at first, and he has a strong desire to win!" But then it seemed that the pen in my hand had its own consciousness, and I was walking, and all I had to do was hold on to the pen and not let it fall...... I didn't think much about it, I just drew with my consciousness, and when my consciousness returned to my eyes, I realized that the words had been written, and the words written far exceeded my should. ”

Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang had really such expressions.

Ouyang asked: "The highest state of calligraphy is like the meditation mentioned in Buddhism, which is a kind of non-action. When I start writing, I forget calligraphy, just as I forget what I thought before I meditated. At this time, it is only the subconscious mind that guides the pen in the hand to paint, which can often exceed their normal level and have amazing works. That's what the virtuous nephew just experienced! ”

Luo Tong thought for a while, and said in an astonishing voice: "This state of mind affects personal performance. So I'm thinking, if we can control our own state, every time we write, or play the piano, paint, sing, or fight the enemy, we can exert our strength by 12 or even 15 points, wouldn't it be equivalent to improving ourselves a lot? ”

People who have reached a certain level of martial arts and art can usually control their state, no matter how low their mood is, no matter how restless their minds are, they can maintain their strength. If you want to play extraordinarily, this is difficult to control, and your own state is indispensable to play on the spot.

Today, Luo Tong's state can hardly be described with good words, at least he has exerted half of his own strength, and the "Chivalrous Journey" written is directly dozens of times better than what he thought was the best before.

If you can maintain this state and write masterpieces for the ages at any time, then it will be a good idea.

This novel topic made Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Yu Sui Liangcheng each shine in front of them, and they discussed it with them!

The so-called art is actually to constantly surpass oneself and do things that ordinary people can't do. Being in good condition and performing extraordinarily is also a kind of self-transcendence, which has something in common with art.

It is not nonsense to say that whoever can achieve such self-transcendence between them first will go one step further in strength, surpassing the other three and becoming the real number one calligrapher in the world

You must know that calligraphy has reached their level, and it is not easy to go further.

The four of them discussed for a long time, and although they didn't discuss anything in the end, the three of them knew that Luo Tong had pointed out a new avenue.

In the end, the four of them put aside this ethereal thing for a while and returned to calligraphy.

Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang invaded the ** law, more than 60 years, and the least Chu Suiliang also had 30 years, and his heart was far better than Luo Tong, so he discussed the subtlety of calligraphy, and he listened to it on the side.

However, Luo Tong has two thousand years of experience after all, and some of the experiences created by later generations are not something that Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang can understand, and even a few words of otherworldly words can make the three of them listen to it fascinated and cry out happily.

The four of them exchanged ink treasures until late at night, and then dispersed.

The visit of Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang, three famous calligraphers, and their satisfactory departure, undoubtedly exuded to the outside world the true message that Luo Tong was a generation of calligraphy masters.

With the circulation of the new italics "created" by Luo Tong, as recorded in history. The new italics immediately replaced the original slim regular scripts!

In just one day, it swept the entire Chang'an with its majestic state, and the world called this new regular script "Qingxiao Body".

It was none other than the number one person in the Tang Empire who made Luo Tong suddenly popular, Li Shimin.

Li Shimin loves calligraphy, especially admires Wang Xizhi, and is greedy for the Mobao "Lanting Collection Preface" left by Wang Xizhi, and even does not hesitate to use the emperor's respect to ask for it from the debater, and finally deceives and captures the "Lanting Collection Preface". As the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the fact that he cheated shows Li Shimin's obsession with calligraphy.

Li Shimin himself also wrote a good calligraphy, he is good at calligraphy, and his pen is strong and soft for a while. But as Chai Shao said, beautiful is beautiful, but it can't show the imperial atmosphere! And Luo Tong's words are magnificent, through the back of the paper, it is the pen of a famous general, which can be passed down through the ages, and this majestic atmosphere is the favorite of an emperor!

The next day, the minister found that when Li Shimin reviewed the recital, the style of the words he wrote had changed, and he gradually favored the "Qingxiao style".

It's just that the "Qingxiao Body" is more difficult to practice, and some of them are not like the four.

Even Li Shimin is learning the "Qingxiao Body", and the other ministers are also practicing the "Qingxiao Body" behind their backs in order to please this ancient master. With the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty, the civil and military affairs are free spokespersons! It's hard for Luo Tong's "Qingxiao Body" to be popular or not!
