Chapter 31: The Drinking Place
"The drizzle dreams back to the chicken, and the small building blows through the Yusheng cold. Good sentence, good sentence! Brother Shuyan, Your Majesty's song "Breaking the Huanxi Sand" is fresh and tactful, with a lofty artistic conception, and it will become a masterpiece for the ages. A beautiful and pleasant male voice first came into Lin Feng's ears.
Lin Feng followed the prestige, and the speaker was a figure in his forties, with fluttering sleeves between his lines, a white complexion, and a three-inch short beard under his chin. In his left hand he held a piece of snow-white paper, and in his right hand he pulled another scribe.
The first impression of the other scribes was wild, and although they were fair-skinned, their countenances were sad, their sleeves were half-rolled, their crimson robes were speckled with spots, and they were wielding a wine bottle in their right hand.
Li Yu saw Lin Feng's gaze and said with a smile: "The scribe who spoke was waiting for Gu Hongzhong for my Tang Dynasty Painting Academy, and that wild man was Han Xizai Han Shuyan. This banquet was to celebrate Han Xizai's transfer from Xuanzhou back to Beijing to serve as an official. β
They're all celebrities. Lin Feng said secretly in his heart. Who is Gu Hongzhong, although there is only one hand-me-down work called "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", it is enough to establish his status as a river and lake in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The picture is composed of five independent chapters and interrelated pieces, such as listening to the piano, watching the dance, leisure, appreciating music and laughing, etc., the composition is rigorous and exquisite, the characters are elegant and vivid, the lines are strong and smooth, the colors are bright and elegant, and the painter's profound skills and superb painting skills are fully demonstrated in the aspects of modeling, brushing and coloring. Gongbi painting is what Gu Hong is good at, his pen is round, occasionally turned with a square brush, the color is strong, and he is good at depicting the expression and attitude of the characters, which is as famous as Zhou Wenju after that. Gu Hongzhong was born in 910 A.D. and is exactly forty years old this year.
And Han Xizai is even more famous. Lu You's Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty? The Biography of Han Xizai said that he was "young, debauched and did not abide by the name inspection", and the "Epitaph of Han Xizai" written by Xu Xuan said that he "looked up to celebrities with a handsome spirit, and was not only a disciple of Jiang, but also a disciple of Ji Meng". In July of the sixth year of Emperor Wu Rui's Shunyi (926 AD), Han Xizai was killed because his father participated in a military coup d'Γ©tat, and he had to flee south to Guangling, the capital of Wu (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu).
Han Xizai was not afraid of the powerful in his life, his personality was witty, and the Southern Tang and Song Dynasty Qiqiu was unparalleled, thinking that the articles were gorgeous and unparalleled, so that he could write inscriptions for people, and Han Xizai took on the task of writing because the eight-point book was particularly good. Every time this kind of thing happens, Han Hee-jae plugs his nostrils with paper, and someone asks why? He replied: "The language is filthy and smelly. "What a madness this is, naturally Song Qiqiu is deeply disgusted.
It's sad enough for a villain to offend one, but Han Xizai is obviously the more the merrier, and he is merciless to Feng Yansi and other important members of the court. The two villains add up, and the power is great, although Han Xizai is the old subordinate of the emperor's East Palace, but Li Jing can't stand the repeated performances of Song and Feng, and Han Xizai must not be demoted to Hezhou Sishi to join the army, and then transferred to Xuanzhou Jiedu Governor.
Lin Feng thought as he followed Li Yu's footsteps to the performers on the right side of the hall.
Li Yu was obviously not addicted to the teacher, and continued to introduce non-stop: "Zheng, also known as Qin Zheng, Yao Zheng, Silver Zheng, Cloud Zheng, and Su Zheng, has been widely circulated as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Originally a five-string, the Zheng was increased to 12 at the end of the Warring States period, and now it has increased to 13 strings. However, the thirteen-stringed zither is a vulgar music zither, which is mostly popular among the people, and the thirteen-stringed zither is a Yale zither, which is commonly used in court music. Zheng, its timbre is deep, sensitive, soft, and has a deep charm. β
Li Yu pointed to the hands of an elderly musician who was debugging the guzheng and said: "Mr. Lin, please see, when playing, the right hand plays the strings, using the big, food, medium, and nameless fingers to play the strings to make sounds, controlling the rhythm and the intensity of the change, there are many techniques such as supporting, splitting, hooking, ticking, wiping, picking, pinching, wheeling, shaking, etc.; Press with the left hand, press the zither strings with the index and middle fingers to control the change of pitch and chord tone, and use the strings to rhyme and rhyme. β
Hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the origin of a word, when playing the guzheng, the big finger outwards played the strings called "tuo", the middle finger played inwards called "hook", and the two fingers hooked so that the folk called "hook".
The gray-haired old musician had been concentrating on tuning the piano at first, and when he heard Li Yu's later left and right hand techniques, he suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Zheng, no wonder he is well versed in music theory and familiar with the past, and the old man Li Ran is so polite." With that, he stood up and bowed deeply.
"Don't be polite, uncle, the ancient music you played last time made Congjia remember it vividly." Li Yu replied.
"Your Highness is falsely praised." Li Ran lowered his body again.
"Your Royal Highness King Zheng, you have arrived! There is a new work, let Hyun have a sneak peek. A deep voice sounded behind Li Yu. When Lin Feng heard this, he hurriedly turned around with Li Yu.
"It turned out to be Brother Dingchen, I also want to ask you about Xiao Seal's pen." Li Yu replied with a smile, turned around and introduced to Lin Feng and said: "This is my court knowledge system Xu Xuan, Xu Dingchen Xu, Xu everyone, good at literature and work, and Han Shuyan is called 'Han Xu'. β
"King Zheng killed Weichen, compared with His Royal Highness, the light of the candle appeared before the moonlight." Xu Xuan replied while looking at Lin Feng curiously. He is thirty-four years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, just as his career is booming.
"Introduce a talented man to meet you, this is Lin Fenglin Zhishan Mr. Lin, temporarily staying in my house to ask for advice." After today's first lesson, Li Yu completely let go of the mustard in his heart, and began to get used to Lin Feng's low attitude of being taught by Lin Feng psychologically, and took the initiative to introduce Lin Feng in front of outsiders for the first time. Perfection is the word Lin Feng chose for himself.
Lin Feng hurriedly gave a salute: "Lin Feng, a grass citizen in Baoyi, Xingzhou, is polite here." Previously, he had admired the talents of the two brothers of the Xu family for a long time, and Lin was not afraid. This Xu Xuan is a native of Guangling, Yangzhou, ten years old can belong to the literature, and his brother Xu Kai are proficient in philology, and called "two Xu", "big and small Xu". Xu Xuan once co-edited the "Shuowen Jie Zi" with Ju Zhongzheng and others, adding 19 characters into the main text, and adding 402 words to the end of the text. The "Shuowen Jie Zi" edited and supplemented by them is known as the "Great Xu Ben".
According to legend, Xu Xuan's literary thinking was agile, and he wrote immediately, and once said: "The speed of the text means that the meaning is sensitive and strong, and the slow is the slow posture", and the poems also circulated in the famous sentences such as "the well spring is born and the earth is born, and the anvil and pestle are full of autumn sound". Xu Xuan is also good at calligraphy, Li Si Xiao Seal, Lishu, and Xingshu are all good at it, and occasionally famous stickers are handed down.
What kind of talent should it be to make the talented King Zheng as a gentleman and be willing to be taught. Xu Xuan stared at Lin Feng curiously, and replied: "Everyone is a person who reads, only then can there be depth, there is no end to learning, and the best brothers don't have to be polite." His tone was calm, and he was not rude because Lin Feng was a white man.
Xu Xuan turned to Li Yu and said with a deep salute: "His Royal Highness King Zheng, Your Majesty has arrived, how about we go together to greet him?" β
"Okay, let's call Han Shuyan and Teacher Gu to go together. Mr. Lin, please wait a moment at this table. Affected by the joyful atmosphere of the scene, Li Yu gradually became excited, and immediately went outside.
