The peach and plum spring breeze is finished, and in the end who is like a pot of orchid.

Like ice and water, they are jealous of each other, and they joke with others in vain.

This is Li Kun's sentence in "Dream of Red Mansions".

Li Kun's temperament is like an orchid, deep and quiet, in the whole story, it seems to be a faint fragrance, whether it exists or not, what she has done, it doesn't seem to matter, but it makes people hazy after the final cover-up, her light and long shadow emerges dimly.

Qin Cao is also a woman with a temperament like Lan, but compared with Li Kun, she is somewhat dazzling.

But these dazzling things are all superficial. Life experience is life experience, it has happened, it is there. No matter how young Wuling is, he is entangled, and he doesn't know how many red silk songs he plays, there are many things that can't be changed after all.

Li Kun is a person who accepts her fate, and Qin Cao, on the surface, she has already accepted her fate, and even used her talent to make a mess of money-filled articles in the Drinking Moon Boat. But in her bones, in those moments of dead of night and midnight dreams, this girl's heart is not a pool of stagnant water, but a little shallow singing elf calling.

The orchid painted by Chu Feng is not a deep boudoir beauty drawn by fine brushwork, but a chic and indifferent freehand sway.

He and Qin Cao are just the first to meet, and he has the ability to see through people's hearts at a glance, he doesn't have it, I'm afraid he may not be able to succeed in practicing for decades.

But aesthetics are the same, literature, calligraphy and painting, including beauty and wine, are some that can be compared and measured with each other just right, from this point of view, Chu Feng has a certain ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting, and this ability is extended to become the ability to appreciate beauty.

Aesthetics is a discipline that is often overlooked in education thousands of years later, but it is deeply embedded in all aspects of life.

In addition to aesthetes such as Zhu Guangqian and Jiang Xun, there are also practitioners of violent aesthetics such as Takeshi Kitano and Quentin, as well as synonymous with the aesthetics of death like Gothic.

Speaking of which, the Chinese aesthetics of death are also a kind of beauty that spans thousands of years. Ancient to the Spring and Autumn period of the tail of the pillar, close to the aesthetics of the kingdom of Wei Zi sinking Weiming Lake...... It can be said that you throw into the lake and sink into the lake, but you can't say jump into the lake. The subtle aesthetic difference in this is an artistic conception that people who are far away from Chinese characters cannot experience.

Aesthetics is a very broad thing, and it is precisely because of the breadth that it can be connected.

Just like Chu Feng can practice the beauty in front of him with flowers, to put it cheesily, it is precisely because he has a pair of eyes that are good at finding beauty.

Qin Cao smiled and replied to everyone around him, looking at Chu Feng's direction from time to time, and even, wanting to see what Chu Feng was on paper from a not too far distance.

But Chu Feng was standing and painting, but she was sitting and playing the piano, she could see Chu Feng's pen waving, but she couldn't catch a glimpse of the scroll.

I itched a little and wanted to know what he would draw.

A little more of his affection is still in the poem "Fortune Operator", how did he know the relationship between him and the calligraphy and painting, and how did the calligraphy and painting go to Sister Liangchen...... There are too many questions in her heart, but in this situation, she can only bury them in the bottom of her heart.

Surrounded by too much beauty and praise, the piano drill coped with it, and played a song "Water Tune Song Head" with a smile, and Chu Feng's painting was completed.

Liu Zhengqing naturally didn't worry too much, no matter what else he had, he wouldn't have the slightest doubt about Chu Feng's attainments in calligraphy and painting.

As for the other scholars and guests, they had been looking at Chu Feng with scrutinizing eyes early on, and for this "outsider" who did not take the right path of the imperial examination, but received the same treatment as them, everyone's subconscious had more or less disdain and scrutiny.

Everyone wants to know what kind of level this person's calligraphy and painting have reached, so that an examiner can use his privilege to recruit him. Everyone was curious and waiting, and among them, naturally some people who wanted to see Chu Feng's jokes were naturally not excluded.

Zhou Fushi took a sip of wine and looked at Chu Feng from a distance.

He had seen Chu Feng's words, but he had never seen Chu Feng's paintings.

But he had heard of the "Clouds and Smoke of the West Lake" at the Ink Painting Conference, so Zhou Fushi knew very well that today's display, in addition to making Chu Feng's reputation for calligraphy and painting credible, would not have a second situation.

Chu Feng put down his pen, raised his head, and looked in the direction where the three adults were.

Lord Zhizhou smiled, and he had the demeanor of an elder who carried the younger generation. Lord Tongju was the first to speak, and asked Lord Liu beside him with a smile: "My lord, it seems that Chu Lang has finished painting, why don't you let him take it and show it?" ”

"Oh? Are you done with it? Bring it over and let the old man take a look. Lord Liu stroked his beard with a smile, looked at Chu Feng, and nodded very kindly.

As they spoke, the people at the feast fell silent.

Qin Cao suppressed the slight tremor of the strings, and everyone's eyes slowly focused on Chu Feng's body.

Somehow, Chu Feng suddenly had a ...... In front of the whole class, the feeling of handing in the exam papers...... Moreover, the expressions of the classmates seemed to say: Why did you finish the answer so early, did you hand in the blank paper, or did you really get it all?

Thinking of this, Chu Feng couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself, in the end, it is an inch of heart, and when human nature arrives, it cannot be changed.

"The sketch of "Chunlan Tu" also looks into the eyes of the three adults." Chu Feng presented the painting with both hands and bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Cheng Yuan's senior apprentice, can he still draw clumsy things?" Master Tong Juan smiled and quipped, took the painting in Chu Feng's hand, and displayed it in front of Lord Liu's eyes, and before Lord Liu could see the steadiness, Lord Tong Juan took the lead in praising it, "Good painting!" It's really good to draw! Painting the orchid with freehand is unheard of! See the unseen! ”

"What? Freehand orchids? That's a weird thing! Lord Zhizhou also sighed.

It is no wonder that although freehand flowers and birds have long existed, the rise of freehand painting itself is very late, and the real formation is basically the Song Dynasty, which is closely related to the birth of literati painting. In other words, the freehand works that Chu Feng is painting now are a very fashionable thing.

Second, for the freehand of flowers and birds, the real heyday of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Bada Shanren, Xu Wei, Zheng Banqiao and other people with a chic pen, only to push the elegance of flowers and birds to the peak.

Even Li Liufang, the author of "Chunlan Tu", which Chu Feng refers to the composition, is also a native of the Ming Dynasty. This is evident from this.

Of course, when Chu Feng put pen to paper, he didn't actually think too much about it. Creating freehand flowers and birds, opening a generation of precedents and other things, Chu Feng knew that he didn't have the ability, and it was impossible to accomplish it.

He just thought of orchids in his heart when he looked at Qin Cao, and it just so happened that the only orchid painting he had studied carefully was "Spring Orchid".

As for all kinds of things related to art history, as a student of this field, he naturally knew about it, but he did not study the real details very deeply. So naturally, I don't understand what a bold and even somewhat arrogant move it is to simply sketch it now.

Lord Liu looked at the painting, then at Chu Feng, frowning slightly.

"Chu Lang, the old man has been in the position of a straight bachelor for many years, although he has skimmed a few books, he doesn't dare to say that he has any attainments in calligraphy and painting. In other words, in fact, in the way of calligraphy and painting, the old man is actually a layman. In the midst of the attention, Lord Liu thought about it and slowly spoke, "However, after all, the old man's age is here, and the official family loves calligraphy and painting, so in the past few years in the imperial court, he has more or less gained some insight and opened his eyes, so although he can't say he understands the doorway of calligraphy and painting, he knows a little bit more or less." ”

"Lord Liu's words really embarrassed the officials." Lord Zhizhou hurriedly said, "If you don't even understand Lord Liu, let alone these people in front of you now, how many people can understand in the whole world!" ”

The crowd chimed in.

Lord Liu waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to do this, and said with a slightly serious face: "Chu Lang, I have something to say to you." Although you have a master to correct and teach you, I also hope that you can listen to the voice of a layman like me. ”

Chu Feng has always believed in the sentence "There must be my teacher in the threesome", not to mention that now it is such a scholar who personally advises, where does he have the truth not to accept it humbly, he hurriedly and solemnly shook it to the ground, and said sincerely: "Please also ask the adults to give advice!" ”

Lord Liu nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Let me ask you, is this principle of making flowers and birds with freehand brushwork, which was taught to you by your master?" ”

The "your master" in Lord Liu's mouth naturally refers to Mr. Cheng Yuan. Chu Feng recalled carefully, not only the paintings he had already studied, but also the paintings he had seen from Mr. He also thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Not really." ”

"So, you figured it out yourself?" Lord Liu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

When Chu Feng heard this, he finally understood something.

The backgrounds of ancient and modern China and foreign countries are different, and there is naturally a gap in aesthetics. Modern beauties may not look good when they are put back thousands of years ago, and the reverse is the same, and if you really go to see the four beauties of ancient times, you may not really have such thrilling beauty. This kind of aesthetic is not only for the face, calligraphy, paintings, articles, and even all works of art will more or less change the level of aesthetics due to the change of time. It's something that can't be changed.

Even after a thousand years, many Chinese and Western arts are still not compatible, or even look down on each other, let alone the era in which Chu Feng lived.

Being woken up by Lord Liu like this, Chu Feng finally understood what the other party meant. Freehand brushwork is already a very modern thing in this era, not to mention the freehand flowers and birds!

"It's not that I came up with it myself," Chu Feng replied, "I've seen some people do this, and I thought it was funny, so I thought it was funny for a while." ”

Lord Liu nodded slowly when he heard this, and his face was slightly pale: "At your age, this pen power ...... To be honest, this sketch is also very stylish now, but it is too alternative. If this painting is painted by your master, and the brushwork and artistic conception have reached that level, it may be quite interesting and even sought after. But you are just a young man in the year of the weak crown, the furrow in the chest is not full, the pen is not slack, and I am afraid that many things will be inadequate. Moreover, if you paint like this, you will inevitably be labeled as frivolous. If he really left such a reputation in Shilin, it may not be easy to get rid of it in the future. Chu Lang, do you understand? ”

Chu Feng listened carefully and saluted respectfully: "Yes!" Chu Feng has been taught! ”

"Where is it so serious, what is frivolous and not frivolous, Lord Liu's words are inevitably too serious." Seeing that the atmosphere was too serious, Lord Zhizhou hurriedly came forward to make a haha, and said with a smile, "I look at Chu Lang's painting very well, although it is just a sketch, but there are only a few brushstrokes, the pen is full of strokes, the rhyme is long, and it is quite tasteful." Where is it as unbearable as Lord Liu said? ”

Lord Tong also smiled: "Lord Liu is a fist and treats Chu Lang as a nephew, so there are such strict requirements." If a young man from an ordinary family could have Chu Lang's pen power, he would have been happy to burn incense and worship the Buddha, where would he ask for such a reproach. ”

Master Liu stroked his beard, and there was a little more smile on his face, he nodded in the direction of Chu Feng, and said with a smile: "After all, I am Cheng Yuan's apprentice, if I really count it, I am indeed Chu Lang's elder, and I should say a few words occasionally." What's more, the old man personally promoted his fellow villagers to try out his background this time, and when he went to the Bianliang City Painting Academy, if he still made such a deviant move...... If those colleagues appreciate it, it's fine, but if they don't appreciate it, the old man has to think about his own face, don't you think so? Ha ha! ”

"It's still Lord Liu's thoughtfulness." Zhizhou sentenced the two adults to smile and respond.

Lord Liu's words were understated, but Chu Feng keenly caught the sporadic words in it, and his heart couldn't help but move, Shi Li asked: "Lord Liu, did you just say that Bianliang Painting Academy?" ”

"Yes, the official family's painting academy." Lord Liu said with a smile, "Although it is to give you a fellow villager to try out your background, after all, there is one more word 'same' than others, and all kinds of them are naturally different." Other scholars responded to the career with a subset of scriptures and histories, and there will be government examinations and palace examinations in the future, but people like you who are born in the same township will naturally take another path in the future. ”

"Another?" Chu Feng was a little puzzled.

Master Liu smiled: "It's just like your senior brother." ”

"My senior brother?" Chu Feng was slightly stunned, "What are you referring to, Mr. Cheng Yuan's other apprentice?" ”

"Who else but Fu Lehe?" Lord Liu smiled, "Fu Lehe is now serving as a Hanlin in the painting academy, and he has always been favored by the officials. If you are like your brother, you can enter the academy...... Cheng Yuan only accepted two apprentices in his life, but both apprentices worked in the painting academy, which is also a good story. ”

Lord Zhizhou also smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng Yuan is indeed a famous generation, Chu Lang, you can be favored by that gentleman at a glance, it is already a well-known story in our Hangzhou City." Now that I have the guidance of Lord Liu, this is really a good thing that ordinary people can't ask for by burning incense and worshiping Buddha. However, Lord Liu, if you follow what the lower officials say, Chu Lang's "Chunlan Picture" may not be able to enter the eyes of those painters in the academy. Gongbi flowers and birds, even if they are in love, they are all ordinary vulgar things if they see too much, but it is better to really send such a frivolous freehand to it, which is enough to surprise people, what do you say? ”

"Haha! Maybe there is surprise, happy or not, it's not what the old man said. Master Liu Lang smiled, "But it's really not a bad thing to be frivolous, after all, Chu Lang is still young, and people are not arrogant teenagers!" ”
