Chapter IX. The Path of the Literati (Part I).
As Xiao Shenyan sat behind his high case, he still stared at Xiao Mo with a smile, and Xiao Mo finally determined that Xiao Shenyan did have some kind of "conspiracy" against him. 1 novel.1.0 text version debut()
"Yesterday, we finished studying the Book of Songs. Your initiation course is now almost over, and it is time for the next phase. ”
After a while, Xiao Shenyan spoke, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with satisfaction.
Indeed, in just half a year, he taught Xiao Mo the three enlightenment works of this era: "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classics", and "Book of Songs". And under his teachings of "Analects" and "Mencius", Xiao Mo also had a general understanding, which could not help but be dissatisfied with Xiao Shenyan.
If it weren't for Xiao Mo's lazy and indifferent temperament, which Xiao Shenyan didn't like, Xiao Shenyan would have regarded Xiao Mo as the best student he had ever seen in his life.
It's just that although Xiao Mo's temperament is not liked by him, Xiao Mo's learning progress and grades have nothing to say to satisfy him, and he can't seize any opportunity to teach Xiao Mo a lesson, which makes Xiao Shenyan very bitter, and today, Xiao Shenyan has finally found a way and opportunity.
After a pause, Xiao Shenyan looked at Xiao Mo and continued: "Mo'er, if you want to become a scholar, you will definitely have to take three exams in the future to gain fame. But if you want to become a literati recognized by everyone, there are four things that must be done: first, you must read the Four Books and the Five Classics intensively, and have a certain amount of knowledge; Secondly, you must be able to do poetry skills, poetry does not have to be very good, but at least it must be above the level; Then, you must be proficient in at least one of the arts. Finally, and most basically, you have to write a good hand. ”
After hearing Xiao Shenyan's words, Xiao Mo's heart sank, and he had already vaguely guessed Xiao Shenyan's plan.
Sure enough, Xiao Shenyan continued: "If you want to gain fame, under several written exams, there is no good handwriting, even if your Lence is good, no matter how good your poetry is, those examiners will not have any good impression of you, and the results will be discounted in half, it is impossible to have any future in the imperial examination, and when the literati gather, they will be ridiculed by others." Knowledge can be cultivated slowly, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be learned slowly, and poetry needs a natural aura in addition to its own knowledge, which we can all cultivate slowly in the future. Only to practice a good hand, must be cultivated from an early age, can not be delayed, because writing a one, not only requires a long time of practice, and once you develop a bad habit when you are young, it will be more difficult to correct in the future. ”
Hearing Xiao Shenyan's words, Xiao Mo's face became even more bitter. On the contrary, it was Xiao Yi, with a happy face, one was yearning for the status of a literati, and Xiao Shenyan's words undoubtedly pointed out a clear path for him, and the most important thing is that with Xiao Mo's progress in reading these days, it has pulled him down a long way, Xiao Shenyan naturally will not slow down the progress of teaching because of him, so he is not having a good time these days, and if the focus is on practicing calligraphy in the future, then he will have more time to make up for his clumsiness.
Xiao Shenyan ignored the changes in Xiao Mo and Xiao Yi's faces, and still said to himself: "So, from today onwards, the time for you to study with me has been extended from the previous three hours to four hours, two of which I will teach you to practice calligraphy, and the other two hours to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, can you understand?" ”
"Understood."
Xiao Mo and Xiao Yi replied, one was powerless and helpless, and the other was elated and smiled.
"Okay, then I'll start teaching you how to post now."
Saying that, Xiao Shenyan walked to Xiao Mo's dwarf case, put a few posts in front of Xiao Mo, and said: "After you go back every day, you must continue to practice, and the next day you will hand me three copybooks for homework." ”
Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, Xiao Shenyan added: "There are three notebooks that satisfy me, and if the writing is too poor, I will have to hand in six notebooks the next day." ”
Xiao Mo's eyebrows couldn't help but become tangled with these words.
Those days of freedom and casualness are gone......

"Although your pen holding posture is correct, but your wrist is too stiff, you don't use your hand to write, but to use your wrist, and you have to follow the words ......"
"Let you look at the copybook, not let you see the structure of these fonts, but let you see the style of these words, the knot should be square and dense, the strokes should be horizontal and vertical, the pen force should be strong and round, the momentum should be solemn and majestic, you look at what you wrote, there is no trace of fullness, the structure is too loose, the turn is too rigid, the pen is weak and the font is too narrow......"
……
Unconsciously, with the start of Xiao Shenyan's provisional class, two hours have passed.
During these two hours, Xiao Shenyan kept picking on Xiao Mo's brush words, foaming at the mouth and gushing, while Xiao Mo was sweating profusely, looking painful, and his wrists were sore, as if he was wrong in writing.
Xiao Shenyan couldn't accuse Xiao Mo for a long time, but now he finally seized an opportunity, and he was very happy for a while.
I have to say that if you want to rectify Xiao Mo in terms of reading and literacy, practicing writing is indeed the best choice, and the progress of practicing words is not by virtue of comprehension or thousand-year-old knowledge, etc., you can get twice the result with half the effort, here, if you want to do a good job, there is only one condition, that is, insist on at least ten years of hard practice!!
However, with the end of the morning teaching time, Xiao Shenyan, who was still a little proud, finally appeared, Xiao Mo or smart, but he really had no talent in writing, and copied the calligraphy all morning, and finally when the class ended, he and Xiao Mo appeared at the same time, Xiao Mo's handwriting seemed to be worse.
For a while, I didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Therefore, at the end of class, Xiao Shenyan increased the temporary post homework left for Xiao Mo from three to five.
However, Xiao Mo, who had been tortured all morning, was numb at this time and didn't know what pain was.
On the way back to his courtyard, Xiao Yi, who led the way in front, still unconsciously rotated his wrists, although Xiao Shenyan had been concentrating on Xiao Mo all morning, and rarely commented on his achievements, but it did not reduce Xiao Yi's enthusiasm, and at this moment he was still figuring out the various changes between the font turns.
Xiao Mo, on the other hand, was bowing his head and pondering.
Summarizing afterwards is one of Xiao Mo's habits.
Although he was forced, Xiao Mo was really practicing his calligraphy this morning, and in the end, his writing became worse and worse, which he didn't expect at all.
Although Xiao Mo didn't think he was a genius, he never thought he was stupid, and this time he practiced writing worse and worse, which made Xiao Mo puzzled.
Xiao Shenyan taught Xiao Mo the calligraphy, is Yan Ti's "Yan Qinli Tablet" and "Yin Jianyou Tablet", the style is expanded and opened, strong and strong, but there is no lack of clear and handsome meaning, the shape is new, the structure is rigorous, the law is severe, the momentum is magnificent, it is one of the most popular fonts in the Great Chu Dynasty. And because the royal generations are happy with the face, it has become the first choice for scholars to write during scientific examinations.
However, although the beauty of the face is wonderful, it can be seen by Xiao Mo, an idiot with a brush, but he can't write that kind of strict law anyway, or the structure is too loose, or the font is too ercareless, or the whole is too thin and hard.
I pondered all the way, constantly thinking about the various things I had done during the morning practice.
"I see!!"
Suddenly, Xiao Mo shouted softly, startling Xiao Yi, who was leading the way in front of him and practicing calligraphy in his heart.
After waving to Xiao Yi to indicate that he was fine, Xiao Mo continued to meditate.
Xiao Mo finally understood why he practiced calligraphy but the practice became worse and worse, but the reason was that Xiao Mo remembered Xiao Shenyan's warning to him when he left Xiao Shenyan's study before.
"The so-called word is like its person, that is, how a person's character and style, from his font can be seen most of it, Mo'er you are lazy and indifferent these days, this kind of character, naturally can not appreciate the rigorous and handsome meaning of the face, if you want to practice good words, you must start from the cultivation of life, you must change the character and ideas that you are used to in the past."
As mentioned earlier, Xiao Shenyan couldn't get used to Xiao Mo's indifferent and lazy temperament, so he didn't miss any opportunity to beat.
But this unintentional sentence made Xiao Mo suddenly thorough.
Yes, everyone has their own personality and style, and only when their own character and style are integrated, like a fish in water, can the font of the pen have a soul.
Therefore, the handsomeness of "Yan Ti" and "Willow Body" amazed countless people in later generations, many calligraphy and countless people imitated day and night, hard work can not be described as industrious, intentions can not be described as unspecialized, but most of them are similar and less of their charm, can be written well, but it is one in ten thousand, it is their own character and the font is incompatible with the reason.
And the law pursued by "Yan Ti" is strict, the structure is rigorous, and the style is handsome, this kind of essence is naturally not something that a lazy guy like Xiao Mo can perceive, even if he has occasional feelings, he can't write it at all, so he can't write it at all, so he can't become an anti-dog, and in the end, the more he writes, the worse it gets.
Now that you have figured out the problem and the reason, some things must be changed in order to make yourself suffer less in your future life of practicing calligraphy.
However, unlike what Xiao Shenyan was pursuing, Xiao Mo did not mean to change his character, what he wanted to change was the font he would write in the future.
