Chapter 14: The Grandmaster of the First Generation - Duhe
Du He never imagined that he was just a momentary anger, and he would make such an exaggeration, even Tang Taizong Li Shimin knew about it, and greeted Kong Yingda's eighteenth generation ancestor in his heart, and followed Du Ruhui to see Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, and Ouyang Xun.
Du Ruhui is the respect of the prime minister, but he does not have any arrogance, and he personally goes out of the house to greet him.
Du He followed behind him, and saw three people standing outside the mansion in the distance.
The first one is thin and weak, and his beard is gray, and he is an elderly man. Behind him were two people: one was also an elderly man, dressed in a simple Confucian uniform, with a red face, standing like a pine, looking quite energetic. The other is much younger, only in his forties, with thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and a long face like a donkey, which is not very elegant and makes people laugh.
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Ouyang, Brother Chu, Du is tired of waiting for a long time, and he has a guilty conscience." He greeted the three of them and introduced Du He to the three of them, "This is the little dog Du He, Erlang, haven't you come to see a few uncles?" ”
The corners of Du He's mouth twitched.
Puppies?
Du He was very uncomfortable when he heard this, this ancient man was strange. Modesty is a traditional Chinese virtue, and Duhe does not exclude it. But modesty is modesty, why call your son a puppy? I'm a puppy, what are you?
The only disadvantage of Datang is that there are too many courtesies, and you have to make a fuss when you see the elders. Although it is a symbol of politeness, it is a little unbearable for people in the 21st century to worship Duhe.
However, in front of outsiders, Du He can't lose the face of the Du family, "Du He has seen Uncle Yu, Uncle Ouyang, Uncle Chu, and the little nephew have long admired the names of the three uncles, and he has long had the intention to ask his uncle to teach calligraphy, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to see it." ”
The three people who were bluffing were red-faced.
Chu Suiliang, who had a donkey face, said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for advice, the four words written by the virtuous nephew to Mr. Kong are like vigorous pines and cypresses, resolute and majestic, which is convincing." Mutual instruction is the truth. ”
Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun also nodded in approval of Chu Suiliang's words.
Du He was really flattered, and I don't know why the words he wrote were able to get the unanimous praise of these three famous calligraphers, even those who have occupied a place in the history of Chinese calligraphy for thousands of years.
Du Ruhui invited the three of them to the hall to talk.
A little polite.
Yu Shinan sighed: "Du Xiang's mind is like dust, we must have expected Du Xiang to come." It is not pretentious, the calligraphy font created by Ling Lang, like Kai but not Kai, a stroke, such as a knife and an axe chisel, majestic, really fascinated by us. I don't know if I can talk about books and paintings with Ling Lang to fulfill my wishes. ”
"Created by Ling Lang!"
Du He's heart shook slightly, and he suddenly realized, and finally understood why Kong Yingda would apprentice in public, and finally understood why Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang, the three famous calligraphers, took such a fancy to themselves.
Yu Shinan's word "created" has made it all clear.
The regular script written by Du He is the regular script of Yan Ti, which is the most widely circulated and influential regular script created by the calligraphy master Yan Zhenqing. Later generations learned regular scripts, all of which were based on the Yan body created by Yan Zhenqing.
But now it is only ten years of Zhenguan, and Yan Zhenqing is only afraid that she is still a baby playing with urine and mud, let alone creating Yan characters.
Edison's invention is impossible to see in the 21st century, but if there is anyone who is the greatest inventor in the world, there is no doubt that this person is Edison, even if his inventions are all eliminated.
Because he set some precedents, he was the first to master this technical theory.
And Yan Zhenqing's Yan Ti Kaishu is like Edison's invention. At that time, there were several ways to write regular script, each with its own length and shortness, and Yan Zhenqing created a precedent, and the Yan style regular script he created set a model for regular script in the Tang Dynasty and became recognized as the best regular script.
After the Tang Dynasty, many famous artists learned from Yan Zhenqing's successful reform. On the basis of learning from the two kings, they then learned from Yan Zhenqing and established their own style. Su Shi Zengyun: "As for the poems of Du Zimei, the text of Han Huizhi, the painting of Wu Daozi, and the book of Yan Lugong, and the changes of ancient and modern times, the world can do everything." ”
Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy belongs to the palace-level figures.
And Du He's calligraphy originated from Yan Zhenqing, and at the same time was also influenced by the famous calligrapher Su Shi, not to mention that it can surpass Yan Zhenqing, but before Yan Ti Kaishu came out, it was enough to be proud of the contemporary, and it can be compared with Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang.
And a crucial point.
Yu Shinan studied under Wang Xizhi's seventh grandson, the Sui Dynasty calligrapher Zhiyong Zen Master, Ouyang Xun learned from Han Li, and Chu Suiliang won Wang Xizhi, Yu Shinan, and Ouyang Xun. Although they all have their own unique paths, there will inevitably be situations between words.
The same is true of Duhe, whose font is at least eight points similar to Yan Ti.
Although Yan Zhenqing learned from Ouyang Xun and Zhang Xu, his regular script is mostly self-innovative, so it is not easy.
The problem is that Yan Zhenqing is still a big child, and Du He's imitation has become the first one. In the future, even if Yan Zhenqing creates Yan Ti again, the world will only think that Yan Zhenqing learned from him Duhe, but will not say that he Duhe learned from Yan Zhenqing.
Du He had already stunned this news, and he inadvertently replaced Yan Zhenqing?
You must know that Yan Zhenqing is a giant spirit in the book world. For thousands of years, only Yan Zhenqing can be compared to the sage of books, Xizhi, and can stride in the world of books.
Thinking of this, Du He couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, thinking that his calligraphy in later generations could be compared with the calligraphy saint Wang Xizhi, and he was so happy that he could hardly find the north.
"Erlang, Erlang!" Du Ruhui screamed twice before Du He woke up.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Du He smiled awkwardly and said: "The little nephew is out of shape, Uncle Yu is so praised, so that the little nephew can't find the north." ”
The crowd laughed.
Du Ruhui took out Du He's previous "Watching the Sea" from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "This is what the little dog just made, how about taking it first?" ”
Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang came here to visit mainly to have a glimpse of Du He Mobao, and if there were any objections, they all gathered to observe carefully.
This "Viewing the Sea" is Du He's masterpiece, showing the majestic momentum of the regular script, with the majestic atmosphere in the poem, the artistic conception is excellent.
The three famous calligraphers almost stood on the spot, admiring and commenting one after another. Ouyang Xun, in particular, was even more excited.
Ouyang Xun's calligraphy is also based on regular script, and he is recognized as one of the four masters of regular script in history, and his status is second only to Yan Zhenqing, the head of the four masters. Ou Kai, who he created in imitation of Han Li, is also famous.
"Xiaoyou's italic calligraphy, without the delicacy of the existing regular script, but the pen is dangerous, the structure is unique, and what is more rare is the magnificent momentum and better artistic conception. Wonderful, wonderful! He was impressed by Du He's calligraphy, although he was as old as eighty years old, but he was willing to make friends with his peers, and changed his name to Du He Xiaoyou.
Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang are good at regular calligraphy, but they also see that Du He's characters are indeed different, and they are not arrogant and arrogant, and they are willing to discuss and study calligraphy together.
Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang three people invaded silver calligraphy, more than 60 years, the least Chu Suiliang also has 30 years, on the heart is far better than Du He, so to discuss the subtlety of calligraphy, he listened to it more.
After all, Du He has two thousand years of experience, and some of the experiences created by later generations are not something that Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and Chu Suiliang can understand, and even a few words of otherworldly words can make the three of them listen to it fascinated and cry out happily.
The four of them exchanged ink treasures until late at night, and then dispersed.
Unanimously recognized by the world's most famous calligraphers, the name of Duhe's generation of calligraphy masters is a foregone conclusion.
