Chapter 59: Autumn (3)
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
High-rise buildings talk about the look, and the river is flat.
No one crosses the wild water, and the lonely boat is crossing.
The deserted village is broken, and the ancient temple is a warbler.
The old business is far away, and the contemplation is suddenly alarmed.
This is Kou Zhun's "Spring Day Climbing the Tower", and the sentence that was taken as the title in the middle is obvious, the sentence that is transformed from Wei Yingwu, "The wild crossing is unmanned and the boat is self-controlled".
Wei Yingwu's poems naturally have an extremely diluted style, according to the words of Sister Xue in "Dream of Red Mansions", this is called "Wei Suzhou's elegance".
Wei Yingwu is a poet that Chu Feng likes very much. His poems are diluted and elegant, always with a faint and unreal taste, just like Western impressionist oil paintings.
Especially this sentence "the spring tide brings rain and comes in a hurry at night", savor it, as if the whole picture in front of you is covered by a layer of rain curtains, you can't see clearly, and it has an elegant but not lonely, plain but not tasteless artistic conception.
And Kou Zhun himself is naturally a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and his lyrics cannot be said to be excellent, but in the context of the general sluggishness and flatness of the Song Dynasty's rhythmic poetry quatrains, his poems can be regarded as reaching a very good height.
Using such a sentence as a topic, I have to say that it is still very good for Chu Feng's taste.
The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all prepared by the painting academy, and the candidates do not need to bring their own, and the reason for this is that in addition to the simple fear of the candidates cheating, there are naturally some other reasons.
Although the people who participated in the Autumn Festival of the Academy of Fine Arts studied calligraphy and painting on a daily basis, after all, their family backgrounds were different, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone they could afford were also very different.
Tools may not make much difference to the layman. But if you really get into the insiders, the price and quality of all kinds of study rooms are really worlds apart.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the study room is naturally the most important tool for people like Chu Feng. It is difficult for a person with a wooden knife to beat a person with an AK47. On the road of calligraphy and painting, in fact, the same principle is true.
Everyone knows that in today's era, the best thing Zihao does is the Su family in Huizhou, and the best ink tone is the Zheng family in Suzhou. It's just that their stuff is good, and the price of these things is also very good. There are very few people who can actually afford these things.
It was precisely in order to avoid such a thing from happening, so that someone would carry a bazooka to hang and beat the children of poor families, that the Academy had no choice but to make this decision, and finally made the decision that "the four treasures of the study room and other items will be provided by the Academy".
Of course. Naturally, there are many people who are uncomfortable with this decision. After all, the pen and ink is very much like a mobile phone in everyone's hands after a thousand years, and their own mobile phones are held in their hands every day, and they are very easy to use.
Moreover, painting is always much more careful than playing with a mobile phone. The correspondence between what kind of brush should be used to draw something is completely different. So it's extremely demanding.
In order to make up for this kind of thing, the Academy prepared seven brushes for each candidate. There are all kinds of large, medium and small sizes, such as wolf's hair, purple hair, and sheep's hair, which basically meet the needs of candidates in all subjects.
The seat in Chu Feng's exam was not bad, leaning against the window, the breeze was gusting, and there were green trees and flowers outside the window. The scenery is pleasant.
He looked at the scenery outside and thought to himself that if he could really be admitted to the academy, he would be able to be accompanied by this scene in the future, which was really a very good thing.
Smelling the fragrance of flowers outside, Chu Feng was not in a hurry to start writing.
In order for everyone to be able to show their due strength. The exam is very long and does not end until dusk. Chu Feng had enough time to design and depict it in detail, and he was not in a hurry.
There are about 14 or 5 candidates in the entire landscape department, all of whom are elected from all over the world, with different ages, ranging from yellow hair to gray hair.
Chu Feng was one of the younger ones, but there was also a child in the examination room who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
The child sat in the first row, and when the exam questions had just been announced, he picked up the ink strip and hurriedly sharpened the ink, and then began to draw non-stop.
The table was obviously a little tall for him, so it was funny that the child was concentrating on his chest-high table and drawing.
However, Chu Feng didn't laugh, he clearly saw the four big words "Ambition must win" from the figure behind the child.
Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, who can be sure that this seemingly inconspicuous child in front of him is not a well-known figure in history?
It's just a pity that there is no way to come forward and ask for a name now.
Chu Feng thought about it for a while, and he was not in a hurry to paint, so he also added some water to the inkstone in front of him and sharpened the ink.
He was looking at the kids in the front row, and more people were looking at him.
When he just entered the door, the examiner's voice calling out Chu Feng's name was too loud, so everyone turned their eyes to Chu Feng at this time, curiously looking at what kind of character this famous guy was in Beijing.
It takes more than four hours to complete a painting the size of a ruler, and indeed no one is in a hurry.
There were guards standing at the door, with neat faces, occasionally being asked by the examiner to pour some tea and the like, and going in and out lightly.
There are faint cicadas chirping outside the window, but after all, it is already the weather in September, and the heat is almost gone, so the sound of cicadas has long been low.
No one crosses the wild water, and the lonely boat is crossing.
Chu Feng silently recited this poem in his heart, watching the ink strips soaking into delicate ink in the clear water of the inkstone, and thinking in his heart, is it better to paint ink or light color in such a picture......
The examination of the Academy of Fine Arts is limited to subjects, and does not limit the use of color and brush. Judging from the freehand paintings that Chu Feng made before, most of the people in this era were still unacceptable, so the paintings in this exam focused on freehand paintings.
Kou Zhun's poem is transformed from Wei Yingwu's sentences, and the kind of light and beautiful poetic style is naturally impossible to paint with too thick and colorful golden landscapes.
These judgments are very rudimentary, as long as there is a certain understanding of the origin of the poem. People who have a certain degree of attainment in painting skills can naturally judge it.
It's just that...... Chu Feng thought about what Fu Le and Senior Brother had said before, he said that it is best to be surprisingly new in the art academy examination in order to achieve a good ranking......
This principle is actually similar to the composition of the college entrance examination in later generations, if you just want to mix the average score, come to an argumentative essay similar to eight shares. Grasping the mystery of the sentence "crested leopard tail pork belly", and having a handwriting that will not disgust the marking teacher, it is enough.
But if you want to get a really high score, of course this simple method is not good, it requires new and different, and this new and different is not random, it must have enough style and style.
The exams at the Academy of Fine Arts are actually similar.
No one crosses the wild water, and the lonely boat is ...... all day long
Chu Feng read this sentence over and over again. No matter how you look at it, it's hard to make any other moves.
No matter how you look at it, it's too fixed a word, no one cares about the empty water, a lonely boat is there, there may be some distant mountains like Dai behind, as for the loneliness in the near distance...... How should it be expressed? Waterfowl? Or is it an empty ferry?
Chu Feng thought about it, like most people, after grinding out some of the ink. Start the pen.
After all, these pens are all prepared by the academy, and the quality is not too embarrassing. But after all, such a large number of uses, considering the problem of loss, naturally will not be a particularly high-end thing.
Moreover, no matter whether the pen is good or not, whether it is easy to use or not, what kind of effect will be achieved with ink and paper. It's not something you can see with a pair of eyes, and of course you need to try.
For most people, the first half of the exam, the main thing is to try to choose the pen, ink, paint, and familiarity with the habits of paper. Also, a rough draft of the design is conceived.
There are not many people who can really draw a finished manuscript in one sitting under this kind of examination environment. After all, the pressure is here, the unfamiliar environment is here, and art, after all, is about the right time and place, and there are too many things that need to be adjusted, and it is difficult to show it simply.
Of course, it is not excluded that there are such powerful characters. For example, the little child sitting in the first row is now flying in front of him, so that the examiners can't help but come forward to stop and look, and let out some sighs of appreciation.
But most people are still like Chu Feng, and they are not in a hurry to really paint.
Everyone is trying to adjust their state, racking their brains to conceive the pattern and temperament of the painting, and over and over again, chanting Kou Zhun's poem in their hearts.
No one crosses the wild water, and the lonely boat is ...... all day long
Chu Feng began to dip his ink to test the pen, he was not in a hurry, and tried them one by one. Which pen is smooth to use also determines his composition to a certain extent.
And at this time, Chu Feng didn't notice it. The guard standing at the door of the examination room turned his head and glanced at him.
"That's Chu Feng?"
The guard's hand never left the hilt of the sword, and the errand on duty made him dare not speak casually, but he might as well take advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention to the peak, and secretly communicated with his comrades beside him.
"yes, the guy sitting by the window, the guy in the second row. Tsk, don't say it, she looks really handsome, ha, like a girl. The mother-in-law in my family said that she had seen it from afar, and she praised it like something, I didn't believe it at first, but now it looks like she has a good skin. β
"What's the use of a good skin, it's not like I was almost stabbed to death." The corners of the guard's mouth curled in a cold arc, and he lowered his voice and let out a hey laugh.
"Haven't you heard of the saying, 'If you don't die in a great disaster, you will be blessed'. This person is not an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will soar in the future...... Hey! As soon as you say that, I remember, did you do an errand at the Jingshi garrison before? Do you know that He Junhao? β
ββ
I've been busy these days...... I'm sleepy, I'm ...... In persistence.
andβ¦β¦ Happy Mother's Day!
