Since the 30s, the stylistic forms such as summary narrative, psychological description, and vertical narration in modern short stories have gradually weakened, while the stylistic characteristics of scene, scene, and fragmentation have become more and more prominent, which is the so-called "sketch style".

For example, Ye Shengtao's "Overcharged Three or Five Buckets" created two years ago is a typical "sketch style". This year, "sketching" suddenly sprung up and became the most popular form of creation, so much so that Zhou Hexuan and his opening meeting also had to discuss it.

From the reasons for the popularity of "sketch style", the crowd gradually talked about its advantages and disadvantages, and finally discussed how to integrate the "sketch style" style into the long story.

When the discussion of this topic ended, it was almost 11 o'clock, and Ling Shuhua suddenly proposed: "It's just that it's too boring to discuss creation, so let's draw." It is not limited to Chinese painting or Western painting, just take today's Wenhui as the theme. The time limit is one hour, and you can have lunch almost after you finish drawing. ”

"That's a good idea!" Su Xuelin immediately agreed.

Su Xuelin, Ling Shuhua and Yuan Changying are also known as the "Luojia Three Masters", all of them have good painting skills, of course they have to take the opportunity to show it.

Paper, brushes, and paints were already prepared, and everyone had their own tools.

Zhou Hexuan casually got a fountain pen, then spread the drawing paper on the drawing board, sat cross-legged on the ground, raised the drawing board to his knees, and began to create comics. He was very fast, it only took him half an hour to get it done, and then he was all over the place to admire other people's work.

"Hey, the great monk has finished painting?" Zhou Hexuan walked behind the Mean Mage.

"Amitabha!"

The old monk smiled: "It's just clumsy, and it's smiling and generous." ”

Zhou Hexuan took a closer look and found that Master Zhongyong had painted a splash of ink. The main body of the picture is a bamboo forest in the mountains, faintly showing the outline of the temple and the monk's house, and a little human trace can be vaguely seen in the forest, and there is a large amount of white space in the upper left corner.

In those blank spaces, four lines of poetry are written with a brush: "Ten parties gather together, and everyone learns and does nothing." This is the Buddha field, the heart is empty and the first return. ”

The old monk's painting skills and calligraphy can only be regarded as average, and it is rare that the artistic conception is more wonderful, and the four lines of poetry have the finishing touch.

These four sentences are written by Pang Yun in the Tang Dynasty, this person is Daoxuan, also known as Pang Jushi, known as the "first person in white cloth" after Bodhidharma came to the east to open Zen Buddhism, known as "Dongtu Weimo".

According to legend, Pang Yun went to visit Matsu and asked, "Who can be unruly about everything?" Matsu replied: "Wait for you to drink the water of the Xijiang River in one go, and then come and talk to me." Pang Yun suddenly realized that he had directly entered the realm of Zen Buddhism.

Since then, "the emptiness of the mind and the return of the first place" has become a Zen saying, which means that seeing sexual enlightenment on a certain occasion is as exciting as being a high school champion.

Master Zhongyong quoted these four verses to inscribe poems on the painting, to put it bluntly, it is still a commercial blow. Translated in a specific context, it can be understood as: Ah, today there are sages from all over the world coming to gather, and all of them are very good. Our Xiangfu Temple is a heroic dojo, and the discussion is the truth of heaven and earth, and everyone can understand it in the literary meeting.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "Great monk, you might as well give me this painting." ”

Master Zhongyong said, "If the donor likes it, take it." ”

"Then you're welcome." Zhou Hexuan easily swept away the ink of the painting.

Zhou Hexuan ran to Xu Zhimo's side again, only to see Xu Zhimo painting with a fine brush. This guy is not only good at poetry, but also has quite good painting techniques.

It's just that when Zhou Hexuan saw what he painted, he suddenly had a black line......

"Hey, the theme of today's painting is Wenhui, what are you staring at a piece of bamboo to draw?" Zhou Hexuan said speechlessly.

Xu Zhimo subconsciously reached out to touch his bald head, then pointed to the bamboo and said: "This bamboo has a great sense of Zen, which can only be understood, not spoken." ”

"Please speak human!" Zhou Hexuan said.

Xu Zhimo spread his hands: "Okay, I just didn't know what to draw, so I picked a piece of bamboo at random." ”

"Then you go ahead." After Zhou Hexuan finished speaking, he walked away and ran to Lu Xiaoman's side.

Perhaps it was Xu Zhimo's ordination that hit Lu Xiaoman very hard, and the picture she is painting now is full of depression. Everyone in the bamboo forest laughed heartily, and a lonely woman stood in the corner, looking thoughtfully at the swaying bamboo branches.

Zhou Hexuan didn't make any comments, he was actually a little disgusted with Lu Xiaoman, this woman was too good.

turned around and walked towards Lin Huiyin, only to see that this talented woman was also painting, but she painted the scene of eating hot pot last night. Everyone sat around a cauldron, and Hu Shi stood in the middle with his orchid fingers cocked, with a funny look - it is estimated that after Hu Shi saw it, he would have the urge to tear this painting off, which is so embarrassing.

After reading everyone's works, Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but sigh that the literati of the Republic of China are awesome. No matter what profession he is, he has studied calligraphy and painting, and no matter how bad he is, he can draw sketches like a look.

Even Zhang Jiazhu, who has always shown that he has no learning and no skills, has the level of professional art students in his sketches. When Wen Yiduo, Yu Shangyuan and others left the United States, he also drew a sketch for each of them as a souvenir. Mr. Wen Yiduo also presented a painting as a souvenir, and also said in a letter to his family: "There is Zhang Junjia in the new friendship...... He has a high appreciation of literature and art, and he is studious and his thoughts are beyond the ordinary......"

Ruan Lingyu slipped to Yu Peichen's side and sighed in a low voice: "Miss Yu, why are they so powerful?" ”

"It's just basics." Yu Peichen doesn't think it's a big deal, her calligraphy level is very high, and although her painting skills are not enough, they are not too embarrassing.

"It's actually just basic skills...... Ruan Lingyu unconsciously retreated further, and suddenly opened up the distance from this group of scholars.

In fact, Ruan Lingyu can sing and dance, can play the piano, can play the violin, is proficient in English, can speak a little French, calligraphy with a brush is also passable, and the most important thing is superb acting skills. Such a female star, if placed in a few decades, is enough to be regarded as a talented woman by the media.

She's just met a bunch of perverts at the moment.

When lunch time came, Zhou Hexuan pinched the point to announce the end of the painting, and took everyone to the temple canteen to eat fast. As for the paintings, they were carefully collected by the monks and hung in the ashram waiting for everyone to admire each other.

After everyone had lunch, they couldn't wait to go to the house and comment on other people's works.

Zhou Hexuan's cartoon had many onlookers, and from time to time some people laughed so hard that they couldn't close their legs. The reason is very simple, his cartoon belongs to the cartoon style, a single character with a big head, although it seems to be incongruous, but everyone's demeanor is vivid.

For example, Hu Shi was painted by Zhou Hexuan with extremely large glasses, and the small eyes behind the frame have narrowed into a slit, his smile is cunning, and his right hand is stretched out to scratch the itch. And Xu Zhimo's big bald head was particularly prominent, even emitting bright light, and he yawned with his hands half-covering his mouth.

This cartoon, in order to highlight everyone's personality and appearance characteristics, has carried out infinite artistic exaggeration, and everyone can be described as full of ugliness.

The cartoon style of the super era does not attract talents, Lin Huiyin laughed directly when he looked at Xu Da's bald head in the comics.
