"If you love calligraphy, you can't just post it, and it's also important to learn some lessons from your predecessors. It's just that the old man doesn't have such skills, and there is no way to guide you, so I took some books from the township and came back. Well, Wei Heng's "Four-Body Calligraphy", Cai Yong's "Pen Theory", "Nine Potentials", and Wang Xizhi's "Book Theory", although they are not long, but after all, they are everyone's words, and careful study will definitely make progress. ”

Mr. Wen Duan opened the wooden box, took out a few books from it, and handed them to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng was overjoyed when he heard that these scrolls were all famous calligraphy treatises in later generations, although they were circulated, but he had never read them. Now it is suitable to study with the matter of the post.

Chu Feng couldn't help but be sincerely grateful, and took a deep look: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Mr. Wen Duan twisted his beard and smiled, took out a framed scroll from another box, and handed it to Chu Feng: "As the teacher said before, although the "Beijing Wine Post" is a good post, the meaning of Dongpo is free and uninhibited, and it is not very consistent with your temperament. It's not that you can't practice, but if you want to be accomplished, you need to have a similar font and temperament to be able to understand it more easily. I thought about it when I got back home, and I didn't think about it until yesterday. This line of book is gentle and charming, and it has the style of a humble gentleman, which is very suitable for you. ”

After hearing so much, Chu Feng couldn't help but be curious, and hurriedly unfolded the scroll to take a look.

I saw that the opening of the book was the word "Xiangqi", and Chu Feng was stunned. After the whole exhibition, it was indeed a ruler, and the inscription on the back was also written with the word "Xiangshang", and I couldn't help but feel nervous, and my face turned faintly red because of excitement.

Mr. Wen Duan looked at it and laughed: "Can Chu Lang guess whose pen and ink this is?" ”

"The kid is stupid, but the word 'Xiang' ......" Chu Feng was a little nervous and pursed his lips, "Isn't it Cai Xiang?" ”

"It's Puyang layman!" Mr. Wen Duan smiled.

Chu Feng heard his heart thump twice. What kind of fortune did you go! The four masters of calligraphy in the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Huang Mi Cai. Su Shi's "Beijing Wine Post" has been studying for a month, thinking that this is already great luck and glory. But now, Cai Xiang's calligraphy is in front of him again!

Feeling that his hands were a little cold because of the excitement, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, looked at Mr. Wen Duan with great gratitude, and after calling "sir", he didn't know what to say.

Su Huang Mi Cai, in turn refers to Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and Cai Xiang. There is also a saying that the word "Cai" refers to Cai Jing, but because Cai Jing's reputation was too bad later, another famous Cai Xiang was used instead. But whether this statement is true or not, Cai Xiang can be called one of the four great calligraphers in the era of the Northern Song Dynasty, and his calligraphy is naturally visible.

Among these four people, Huang Tingjian is one of the four scholars of Sumen, and his calligraphy style is also quite influenced by Su Dongpo, which has the meaning of chic and unrestrained. Mi Fu, known as Mi Bu by the world, acting crazy upside down, calligraphy, especially when writing wild grass, is more left and right, inexplicable, just like his own drunk on the road after running call. It's just such an insolence, but with a sense of harmony and beauty that others can't match. There are very few such characters in the ages.

Compared with the other three, Cai Xiang has a relatively small reputation in later generations, but it does not mean that his calligraphy attainments are inferior to the other three. Cai Xiang is a person who is upright and pure, and he knows how to make good use of people in his official position all his life, and gives the people kindness, and he is given the name "Zhonghui" after the Southern Song Dynasty. All peace is in the crowd, and now the ancient road is solemn and observing.

His life is not as wonderful and chic as Su Shi's ups and downs, and there is no Huang Tingjian's "peach and plum spring breeze a glass of wine, ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes" poetry style, flow, and no Mi Fu's crazy anecdotes and vulgarity. Cai Xiang's life is like his pen rich and dignified, simple and graceful Xiaokai, gentle and elegant like a spring breeze, moisturizing things silently, and leaving quietly with the wild goose, leaving only the bright and bright, a spring breeze.

Cai Xiang is like the upper-middle class in the school class, but the temperament is plain and elegant. They often don't get the attention of their teachers and can't become the "stars" of their classmates, but after many years, no one can deny their achievements and achievements.

Cai Xiang's regular script is upright and elegant, his writing is gentle and charming, and his cursive script is scattered. Now in front of Chu Feng is a calligraphy ruler by Cai Xiang, take a closer look, and see that it reads:

Xiang Qi: The summer heat is too late to confess, and the bitter thoughts have been calmed down. The wind and wind are annoying, there is nowhere to avoid, and the reins of life are so sad! Several pieces of refined tea, not one by one. Xiangshang, the public is around. A pair of rhinoceros can be straight? If you want to take a look, the seller asks for one hundred and fifty thousand.

Chu Feng held the ruler in both hands, only to feel that his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time. Such a state of mind, he once felt when holding the "Beijing Wine Post", he thought that the number of times would gradually turn to flat, who knows that now the feeling of holding this post, is still like a child, awe, excitement, emotion, sighs one by one up and down, difficult to consume.

What is Cai Xiang thinking about? What are the "shackles of life"? Is it in tune with your own state of mind?

Wang Yishao said, "Every time you look at the reasons for the interest of the people in the past, if you are united, you will not be mourned in the text, and you can't go beyond it", which sighed, when you hold the authentic calligraphy, it will become more and more profound, and you can't stop.

"The township called this "Summer Heat Post", which was bought by the ancestors at a high price in the early years, but it was useless in the family and was shelved. I remembered this poster the night before yesterday and asked people to look for it, and I really found it. This is also your fate with this book! Mr. Wen Duan said with a smile.

Chu Feng sighed for a long time, and felt that the meaning that could be expressed by the word "Xie" was really too little. At the same time, a thought couldn't help but emerge in my heart: Mr. Wen Duan's family seems to have a collection of calligraphy and paintings, could it be that this family is also engaged in calligraphy and painting? So why isn't there anything to sell in the store itself?

But this is someone's family background after all, and Chu Feng will not take the initiative to ask.

I only heard Mr. Wen Duan say: "In addition to this Cai Xiang's calligraphy is a unique in the world, he also wrote "Tea Record" and "Lychee Spectrum", and the old man's family has a copy of it, if you are interested, the next time the old man returns to his hometown, he will take it for you to look through." ”

This is something that Chu Feng does not know, for the tea of the Song Dynasty, Chu Feng naturally drank it, and the Lu Calligraphy and Painting Company itself will also serve it to guests. Chu Feng is a northerner and doesn't know much about tea, but he also knows that today's tea art is very different from that of later generations. In the Northern Song Dynasty, tea was mostly ordered, which was very different from the brewing of later generations.

This little tea...... To put it bluntly, it is very similar to the Japanese tea ceremony thousands of years later, in that the tea leaves themselves are crushed and placed in a bowl and brewed with slightly boiling water, which is quite similar to the Japanese matcha of later generations. Of course, this method itself was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty, but it was only slightly adapted in the future.

Chu Feng had drunk a little bit of all kinds of tea in his previous life, and he knew a little, but he was not proficient in it, but at least he knew that many things were different.

Although the method of ordering tea was regarded as a very elegant and playful way by the Song people, it was time-consuming and laborious, and it was not suitable in this kind of commercial occasion. They mainly boil tea here, take a tea cake and break off a piece of it and boil it directly, which will also put some condiments such as green onion ginger, orange peel, salt, etc., which is said to be tea, but it is actually similar to soup. This is probably the reason why people in the Tang and Song dynasties often called tea "tea soup".

Chu Feng is quite interested in the tea ceremony itself, and of course he is not in a hurry for a while, and he will slowly understand it in the future.

Lao Zhang prepared dinner and called the two to eat.

After all, Mr. Wen Duan was old, and after the meal, he showed a bit of a sense of grievance, and originally wanted to check how Chu Feng had been compiling and carving in the past few days, but he had yawned again and again, and he couldn't lift his spirits.

"The old man will go to the rest first, and he will take a closer look tomorrow morning. If you miss your schoolwork, don't think about making up for it tonight. Whether it was made overnight, the old man can also see it! Mr. Wen Duan's homeroom teacher muttered a sentence and went back to the room, and after a while, the sound of steady breathing came out.

Chu Feng smiled slightly, and lightly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with Lao Zhang.

"Chu Langjun, please go and rest! It's hard to be the only one in the store these days! Thank you so much! Lao Zhang rolled up his sleeves to wash the dishes, looked at Chu Feng and smiled.

Chu Feng sat on the pony casually and brushed the chopsticks carefully, and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to say it." On the Qingming Day in Hangzhou, an ink painting meeting will be held, so the calligraphy and painting shop has not been open for three days, and the fatigue is completely absent. ”

"Ink Painting?" Lao Zhang had never heard of this matter, so he asked curiously.

Chu Feng explained carefully, and Lao Zhang sighed after hearing it: "My Ah Lang doesn't know that there are such customs in the local area, otherwise...... Ay! Calligraphy and painting are important! Ancestor worship is also very important! I don't know how Ah Lang will choose next year! ”

Chu Feng did not take the initiative to mention the matter of "West Lake Smoke and Rain", but only said that Liu Zhengqing borrowed "Beijing Wine Post" as the news of Lu's exhibition.

Lao Zhang remembered what happened before, laughed plainly, and said, "I thought he was a bad guy before, and I almost beat him." Now it seems that this Liu Langjun is also a person who can be friends! ”

After asking a few more trivial things such as whether it was safe on the way back and forth, Chu Feng helped Brother Zhang pack up his things, and then the latter pushed him into the room, preventing Chu Feng from doing such heavy work anymore.

Chu Feng couldn't twist it, smiled and sighed, so he had to go back to the room and borrow the oil lamp to go back and forth, carefully look at the "Summer Hot Post", love it, and sleep in the middle of the night.

On the second day, Chu Feng still practiced the five poultry plays, the proximity post, and the compilation without mentioning it. Mr. Wen Duan got up near noon, had a meal, saved up enough energy, and brought a cup of tea to the front store to eat slowly.

It's just that Mr. Wen Duan made some puzzled discoveries...... How did today's passenger flow become so large?
