Chapter 131: Iron Scratches Silver Hook
The old master looked the middle-aged man up and down, and when he saw that this person was gentle and polite, the anger in his heart was slightly reduced.
But the so-called literati are light, not to mention that the other party is of a different race, the old master shook the feather fan and said coldly: "You also know calligraphy?" β
The man in purple was not annoyed by the arrogance of the old master, and still responded with a pleasant face: "Hehe, I also know a little about fur in Xia, but I have seen a lot of inscriptions in Xia!" β
"Humph! You fanatic, after reading a few inscriptions, you dare to speak out here, do you know that I don't know how many cold and hot times I have been practicing here, and I don't dare to ask Mr. Meng for advice! β
"Just rely on you, a barbarian state of the Jin country, and vainly claim to ask for calligraphy?"
ββ¦β¦β
All the students present were disturbed, expressing extreme protest against the master and apprentice duo's rash entry into the lecture hall, and even more sneering at the arrogance of the master and apprentice.
Old Master Meng has always been kind to others, but today he did not dissuade the students, but stood aside to watch the reaction of the master and apprentice.
The man in purple looked around at the students with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Although my knowledge is shallow, I can still clearly distinguish between good and bad calligraphy!" β
As he spoke, he raised his head, pointed to a plaque hanging on the eaves of the main hall, and said solemnly: "Let's just say that this pair of plaques ......."
"This painting is a masterpiece of the old man's life! If you know how to appreciate, you have this vision! β
Before the purple-clothed man finished speaking, Meng Fuzi explained with a smile on his face. It can be seen that Meng Fuzi is very conceited and satisfied with the words 'Lushan Guoxue' on the plaque.
But the man in purple smiled coldly and said, "Master Meng, you misunderstood!" I want to say that this plaque has three major failures! I don't know why such frustrations are hanging here......"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a burst of laughter, pointing out that this Jin man did not know calligraphy.
Meng Fuzi shook his head even more and said, "Three major failures? Do you know how many literati and writers have praised this character, and even today's Guozi Sacrificial Wine, all praise this word as the first in the world, and you actually say that it has three major failures, isn't it ridiculous and generous? β
"Huh! The so-called people are the same, and what everyone says is good may not be really good! The man in purple waved his hand and retorted disapprovingly.
"Sir, why bother talking to such people who don't know calligraphy, we will drive them out of the academy!"
"That's right, the barbarians who don't understand calligraphy are tricky! How can they enter the hall of my Chinese orthodox essence of learning......"
The crowd was excited and shouted, but this time Meng Fuzi did not remain silent, but waved his feather fan and signaled everyone to be quiet. His reputation is at stake, so he has to listen to it anyway.
So he greeted him politely and said coldly: "Oh? Then the old man listened to it! β
The man in purple, pointing to the words on the plaque, explained: "The gesture of this character rises and falls, and the penmanship is handsome, which is naturally taken from the official book of Wei Bei!" β
"The calligraphy is based on Wei monuments, so what's wrong?" Meng Fuzi immediately retorted and asked.
"There is nothing wrong with taking the law from the Wei Monument, but the White Deer Cave Academy has always advertised that it is orthodox Confucianism, and Confucianism flourished in the Han Dynasty.
The man in purple talked and talked, which was enough to see that he was knowledgeable, but then he changed his words: "The plaque of the hall academy is not written in the orthodox official script of the Han Dynasty, but uses the font of the small court of the Wei and Jin dynasties, abandoning the big and taking the small, and abandoning the orthodoxy and taking the sideways!" Mengfuzi, do you think this is a big failure? β
"Uh, this ......"
"As for the Lu character of 'Lushan Guoxue', with such a thin penmanship, it is the second biggest failure!"
"This ...... Why is that? β
"Why? Hahaha! β
The man in purple couldn't help laughing: "Master Meng, Bailudong Academy, located in the Yang of Houping Mountain at the southern foot of the Wulao Peak of Lushan Mountain, since it is a sunny place to set up a academy, it should naturally be warm and bustling, but your word 'Lu' is skinny, with a cold winter killing atmosphere, how can you say to the sun?" β
"This ...... This ......"
"There is also the word 'mountain' in this Lushan, written with steep penmanship, and it is the failure of this word!"
"You! β¦β¦β
Meng Fuzi was refuted by the man in purple for a long time without saying a word, and Meng Fuzi broke out in a cold sweat, pointing to the plaque with a trembling right hand and said: "Only by steep brushwork can the high danger of Lushan be revealed!" What's wrong with that? β
"High risk? Although Lushan is a famous mountain, it is not known for its high risk, not as high as Mount Tai, and less than Huashan! The peaks and peaks of Lushan are located in Jiujiang, so it is not in high risk, but in Xiong! β
"We should use the orthodox Han Dynasty official book, which is simple and unpretentious, in order to show the majesty of Lushan! Mengfuzi, isn't this a failure within a failure? β
Hiss!
Meng Fuzi sat aside, already speechless. All the students present also looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
Fang just said that others don't understand calligraphy, but now people talk about the three major failures of calligraphy. Even the most stupid person can see that the man in purple in front of him is a master calligrapher.
"This is what you say, the orthodox Chinese culture?"
Meng Fuzi hurriedly got up, and said with a trembling hand: "May I ask Your Excellency's name!" β
"In Xia Lu Sheng, I don't know what advice Meng Fuzi has!"
"How dare you advise, the old man Meng Baitan has been immersed in the law all his life, and he thinks that he is a master of calligraphy, but now he seems to be a frog at the bottom of the well!"
Meng Fuzi sighed slightly with a lot of shame: "Since Your Excellency pointed out the three major failures of the old man, he must have a unique skill!" Can you leave Mobao behind, which also opens the old man's eyes? β
The purple-clothed man named Lu Sheng glanced at Meng Baitan, and then shook his head: "It is the bad habit of the Song people to be contemptuous of literati, and Meng Fuzi has now spent most of his life, but he still can't see it!" No wonder such talent is withering! β
How could Lu Sheng not know Meng Baitan's intentions, this was obviously an eye-opener, but in fact it was to save face. If Lu Sheng's writing is at the same level as him, Meng Baitan can also easily regain some personal face.
"Since Meng Fuzi's competitive heart is not dead, then Lu is disrespectful! In vain, pen and ink are waiting! β
As he spoke, the apprentice who followed Lu Sheng had already taken over a delicate bookcase from the entourage's hand. When the person gently opened the bookcase, he saw that there were layers of small compartments inside.
Each small partition has its own unique purpose, and inside it is neatly placed pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After a moment's effort, Lu Sheng's apprentice had already placed the things he needed, and took three steps back respectfully: "Master, it's ready!" β
Lu Sheng nodded and did not speak, and then sat down steadily. At this time, Meng Baitan looked at the brush on the pen stand, and couldn't help but be surprised, gasped and said to himself: "The pen is used with ink, and if it is not thirty years of skill, it will definitely not be able to reach this Cheng dΓΉ!" β
Seeing the inkstone placed on the desk, he was taken aback again: "Duanzhou Ziyun inkstone!" β
"Yes, the so-called Duanzhou masonry is ingenious, sharpening the knife across the sky and cutting the purple clouds! Duan inkstone is already precious, and this purple cloud inkstone is the best in the inkstone! This inkstone is the cherished thing of Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty, and it is now 400 years old! β
Hiss!
Liu Gongquan He Xu Renye, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, one of the four masters of regular script, is as famous as Yan Zhenqing, and is known as a model of the first generation. Liu Gongquan had a high reputation for calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty and later, or there was no second person in the world.
Lu Sheng picked up the brush, dipped in ink and slowly wrote the four big characters of 'Luzhou Guoxue' on the paper......
After Lu Sheng finished writing, he got up and stood aside to listen to Meng Baitan's comments.
At this time, Meng Baitan was no longer able to express his shock in words.
Meng Baitan came to the front slightly and lowered his eyes to watch the calligraphy, and exclaimed: "When calligraphy reaches this realm, I don't know how to use it...... How many cold and summer heats do you have to use, how many pens do you have to write, and how many inkstones do you have to wear through! β
Lu Sheng's apprentice pointed at Meng Baitan and sneered: "My master is known as an iron and silver hook, how can you compare?" What do you say that the barbarian land does not understand calligraphy, but I don't know that my Dajin country is the orthodoxy of culture! β
"You! β¦β¦β
Although all the scholars here want to refute it, but now that even Old Master Meng has been defeated, what qualifications do they have to refute?
"There are talents in the country, there are really people outside the sky, and there are people outside the world...... Meng Baitan sat aside in despair, and seemed to be ten years old in an instant!
Lu Sheng arched his hand and sneered: "Since Master Meng is speechless, then I will ask for your academy plaque!" β
As soon as the words fell, several attendants came to the cornices and took off the hanging plaque! Although this move was too reckless, many of the students were indignant and wanted to step forward to stop it, but they were reprimanded back by Meng Baitan.
The so-called skill is not as good as others, there should be this result, even if this plaque is protected at the moment, it is just a useless plaque. The ancients attached great importance to reputation and credit, especially the literati who read the books of the sages and sages.
The body can die, but the integrity cannot be lost!
Lu Sheng's master and apprentice left, no one stepped forward to stop him, and the lecture hall was lifeless and extremely quiet! Lu Sheng sat aside and muttered to himself, "White Deer Cave Academy, never ...... from now on"
Yuelu Academy, lecture hall!
Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics are known as the six arts of gentlemen, and literati reading is not only reading, but also paying attention to all-round development when it develops to the present.
At this time, in the lecture venue, the music master Jiang Kui was playing the guqin chiefly. Jiang Kui is only in his thirties, and he is not only a poet but also a famous master of music.
Even the chief musician of the Teaching Workshop Division in the capital has been taught by Jiang Kui, and he can be said to be the grandmaster of today's music and rhythm school! Because of his casual nature, he didn't take it as a profession, so he didn't want to enter the palace as an official.
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Jiang Kui stroked the strings with both hands, playing like a cloud and flowing water, and a song made people listen to it as if they were fascinated.
After the song was over, there was a dead silence all around, and it was not until three breaths of time had passed that the students present broke out into thunderous applause.
When the applause gradually subsided, a voice came from outside the door: "The sound of the piano is like a heavenly sound, and the aftermath is lingering, and it has not stopped for three days!" However, it is a pity that it has not reached the extreme! β
