Chapter Eighty-Six: A Thousand Miles of Dreams
A.D. 2029, summer.
One day in early July, it was the busiest time for the beach in the South Ocean, and it was the summer vacation, and many students were pouring into the South Ocean. Many of these students are art faculty students, and they come to this place to collect and sketch.
In the past, it wasn't as lively as it was here, but this year's July was different because a famous painting was exhibited at the local museum. This famous painting through the ages is the famous "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". ”
Because the famous paintings are to be exhibited here, there are many tourists who come here at once, some of them are admired, and many of them take advantage of the summer vacation to travel here and see the famous paintings by the way.
"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" became a hot topic in July, but the most discussed was not the work itself, but the author of the painting.
The author of the map of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains is no longer verifiable, but it is generally believed that the author of the "map of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains" is Ximeng of the Northern Song Dynasty. As for what Ximeng's surname is, it is not recorded in any historical facts, but the most recorded information that has been handed down now is the name "Wang Ximeng".
Five or six boys from an art academy sat on the beach, chatting over cold beers.
They weren't students from out of town, they were students at the local art college. Because of the arrival of the famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", the originally not lively Nanjing Ocean has become doubling, which makes these students a little uncomfortable.
The southern ocean in July is different from other places, living here is very comfortable, although it is the hottest month of the year, the temperature here does not exceed 25 degrees.
Many people come here, and most of them come to see the paintings, because I heard that it is a famous painting, and all cats and dogs have come, both those who understand art and those who don't understand art.
Five or six boys sitting on the beach, chatting and chatting, led the topic to the "map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains".
One of the boys' name is "Li Qingyang", he is a typical northerner, of course, this only refers to his character, his appearance and height, are not quite in line with the characteristics of northerners, but his character is very northerner.
He likes to drink, speaks very boldly, likes art, and loves to play the guitar.
"166 yuan a ticket, which of you wants to go?"
"I heard that this painting was painted by a young man under the age of 18!"
"It can be described as a hero out of a boy!"
"If the ticket price could be cheaper, I would definitely be willing to go."
One of the students pulled out the material and read it:
"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is a large blue and green colored silk book, 51.5 cm in length, 1191.5 cm in width, and the momentum is vast and extraordinary.
The upper layer of the picture is full of peaks and mountains, and the complex forests, villages, boats, bridges, buildings, palaces, and various characters in the picture are arranged in an orderly manner.
In the painting, the mountain stones are first outlined with ink, and then the green is applied to the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain is dyed with lapis lazuli, showing the green mountains stacked on top of each other.
The rivers outline the water lines, which contrast with the boneless color. The whole picture is both magnificent and majestic, but also delicate and exquisite, and it is a masterpiece in the green landscape painting.
In the painting, the landscape is far and near, the momentum is open, the village market, fishing boats, passenger boats, bridges, waterwheels and forest birds and birds are well placed in the pen and ink; The whole volume of green is recolored, showing the beauty of the mountains and rivers.
"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was later collected by Cai Jing, the prime minister at the time, and his promotion above recounted the experience of Song Huizong instructing Ximeng and accepting him into the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy.
For Wang Ximeng, there are not many records in the official history, and his masterpiece is only this "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
For a very famous painter, there are usually many works that have been handed down, but Wang Ximeng is very unique. It's not often that you're famous for a painting.
After reading this information, the boy turned over and lay on the beach, soaking up the sun and looking up at the sky. He let out a long exclamation: "God is jealous of talents! ”
When it comes to Wang Ximeng, we have to mention another big man, this character is also the emperor of the Song Dynasty who has a paranoid pursuit of art, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, some people say that he is not a good emperor, but he is a good painter and a good calligrapher.
As an emperor who has a paranoid hobby for the art of calligraphy, of course he will not let go of any talent, so if Wang Ximeng is a talent for painting, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong will definitely not let him go and will not miss this talent.
After thinking about it, several students were ready to pool money to take a look at this famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains." ”
Under the blowing of the swaying wind, they lay side by side on the beach, sleeping in a daze, because the sun was so tame that it did not have the heat of summer, but blew on their faces, cool and happy.
Li Qingyang plucked his guitar and played the old piece, which he composed himself, purely to pass the time, or to create himself in his spare time.
Time turned into the wind, floating over the sea, and the rolled sand slapped against his guitar with a rhythmic sound. He looked into the distance and saw a vague figure dancing not far away.
Li Qingyang wanted to wake up the four classmates around him, but they were sleeping soundly, and he couldn't bear to wake up, so he walked forward alone with his bare feet. The sand is of very good quality, very smooth to step on, without any impurities.
There seems to be a piper in front of him, dressed like an ancient, holding a purple flute in his hand, blowing in the void, the music is slightly sad, but very light.
Like the rapid beating of the war drums before the confrontation between the two armies, forward, forward... There is a layer of ethereal blockers in front of him, and it seems that with a slight push, he can break through the void and escape into another dusty void.
At this moment, this world seems to belong only to him, and everything that exists in front of him is not just a fantasy, but a junction to open another world. Li Qingyang was surprised, but he couldn't find anyone to negotiate for a while, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't speak.
What unfolded in front of him was the green painting, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and the clouds and mist floating in the sky flew quickly towards him. The mountains under the green and heavy color, one after another, passed in front of his eyes, and one by one they turned into dust and smoke and dissipated in an instant.
Suddenly, a tear fell, blurring the world in front of me, like a drop of ink hanging down from the sky and dripping onto the paper, slowly rendering out.
Li Qingyang still held the guitar in his hand, and could only stare blankly at everything in front of him, wondering whether he had walked into the painting or the world had become a painting.
