Chapter 50 They are all cultural people
The first group of people to rush to the second floor of the supermarket was led by the privy envoy Feng Yansi, both old and young, all dressed in casual clothes, and their gestures were elegant and free.
When the group sat down at a round table on the south side near the stage, and served hors d'oeuvres and delicate cold dishes like a stream of men, a second group came:
The leader is the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Jiahua Dashao - Li Jingqian, the king of Chu, followed by a group of capital dashao who are inseparable from his daily life. However, the person on Li Jingqian's right hand is Li Yu, the king of Zheng who has not been to the supermarket for a long time.
The fact that two groups of people were able to meet at the supermarket seems to be purely coincidental.
As early as two days ago, Feng Yansi had already informed all the friends in the capital who were famous for their literature or paintings to gather here tonight; Li Jingqian, on the other hand, was instigated early this morning by Wei Shengwen and Wei Shengwu, the nephews of the privy deputy envoy Wei Cen, and they sang and sang in harmony with each other, saying that the king of Chu had not been to the supermarket for a long time, and it was heard that several new wonderful songs had been released there. Wei Shengwen even praised consciously or unconsciously, if only there was a master of music composition like King Zheng on the side, he would definitely be able to better understand these wonderful songs.
The speaker has a heart, and the listener also has an intention. For how to have fun and play outstandingly, Li Jingqian, the king of Chu, has always been a good admonition, rushed to King Zheng's mansion early after taking a nap, broke into the study, and pulled this precious nephew over from the front of the case, preparing to let him be tonight's "music commentary guest".
Fang Hongli, the manager of the supermarket, had already served on the spot as early as when Li Jingqian and Li Yu arrived, so it was natural that Duan Yu, the owner of Jueweifang, who had regarded the supermarket as his home, sent someone to notify him urgently.
Seeing Li Jingqian and Li Yu appear, Fang Hongli and Duan Yu ran two steps to meet them. A wealthy and expensive high-roller like Li Jingqian was originally the favorite customer of the hotel, not to mention that he was accompanied by Li Yu, the largest shareholder of the supermarket.
The large crowd also chose to sit at an empty table near the stage at the very back, which was naturally reserved in the store to prevent the sudden arrival of VIPs. Fang Hongli and Duan Yu personally stepped forward to arrange the dishes for them, but they were interrupted by Li Yu and asked them to go by themselves, so they didn't have to greet their party. But where did Fang Hongli dare to go, he just took two steps back, ready to wait beside him.
At this time, Feng Yansi also happened to look up at this time, and "suddenly" saw Li Jingqian and Li Yu across the middle stage, and immediately rushed over to salute.
Li Jingqian waved his hand and said impatiently: "Lord Feng, we are all here to enjoy the music, and we are all dressed in casual clothes, so don't go with courtesy!" I heard that Lord Feng's daily hospitality is full of interesting people, I wonder who the guests you are at your banquet tonight are? ”
Feng Yansi immediately bowed down and said: "Back to the King of Chu, the people gathered by Weichen today are all those who are good at poetry and good at writing and painting in the capital, Gu Hongzhong of the Tang Painting Academy, Dong Yuan and Dong Zhizhao are among them. ”
Li Jingqian was overjoyed, and said: "This king is thinking about asking me to wait for the edict to be idle and draw a long scroll of the deputy characters for my new house!" In this way, Master Feng, you invite all the masters over, and everyone can sit together! ”
The two brothers, Wei Shengwen and Wei Shengwu, were so clever that they immediately got up and beckoned the brothers on the left and right to give up their seats.
In this way, at Li Jingqian's suggestion and Feng Yansi's intentional agreement, the original large group of literati and rioters immediately moved over, and Feng Yansi and Gu Hong simply excused each other and sat down.
As soon as the position was decided, Feng Yansi stood up and began to introduce these literati and talents of the Tang Dynasty to Li Jingqian and Li Yu.
"Gu Hongzhong of the Tang Painting Academy is waiting for the edict, and the King of Chu is already familiar with it, so I won't go into detail about it." Feng Yansi first pointed to Gu Hongzhong on the left side of his body, took the lead in introducing, and then pointed to a middle-aged scribe in his right hand, and then introduced, "King Chu must have an impression of Zhongzhi Zhang Yifang, right?" This is my Tang Dynasty Qinzheng Hall bachelor Zhang Yifang, the original name is Yuan Da, once the king served the imperial history. The first king relied on the righteousness and evil, and specially took the name of the royal history king Yifang, who was known for his loyalty, benevolence, righteousness and uprightness in the previous dynasty. Mr. Zhang's masterpiece includes the world-famous "Please Advise"; There is also a poem "Fenghe Holy System Yuan Day Snow Climbing", which can be described as famous! ”
Zhang Yifang hurriedly got up to salute, Li Jingqian waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and shouted loudly that no one in the banquet was allowed to salute again.
"'The ruler is not the only one, the one who is humble is afraid of sin and does not speak, and the venerable one holds the word but does not admonish.' The text is like his person, and Mr. Zhang's words are really upright! Li Yu interjected beside him, repeating the famous words in Zhang Yifang's "Please Accept Advice", Zhang Yifang did not expect that Li Yu would remember his humble writing, so he stood up very excitedly and bowed solemnly to Li Yu.
Feng Yansi pointed to a thirty-year-old young man again, and introduced softly: "This is Xu Kai, a scholar of Jixian Palace, and the younger brother of Xu Xuan, who is the knowledge of the dynasty. ”
The next few are all famous painters in Jiangnan. The Tang Dynasty Painting Institute is the founder of the Southern School of landscape painting. He is good at painting landscapes, and works part-time with figures and animals. In the later period, the real scene of the real mountain in the south of the Yangtze River is painted, not for the strange cliff brush, the forest is far away from the tree, the flat is far and deep, the law is like a hemp skin, and the descendants call it "Phi Ma Jia".
Wei Xian, one of the famous scholars of the Southern Tang Dynasty Painting Academy, is long in the Louguan Palace, the car and the water mill, can be proportionally "converted without error", the perspective is correct, the composition is rigorous, the depiction is fine, there is no vulgar ingenuity, and he is known as the first expert of the Tang Dynasty in later generations. Wei Xian is also a worker of landscapes, high cliffs and boulders, thick and dignified and immortal. It is rumored that Wei Xian tried to write "Spring River Fishing Map", and Li Yu's two famous works "Fisherman's Words" were specially titled for him.
Wang Qihan, also one of the famous scholars of the Southern Tang Dynasty Painting Academy, painted figures, Buddhism and Taoism religious paintings, and was good at landscapes, flowers and birds, but he was famous for painting apes and roe deer. It is good to make mountains, forests and hills, hidden rocks and valleys, no city style, and its paintings are characterized by fine brushwork.
At the end, Feng Yansi pointed to an old man with gray eyebrows and beards, and introduced loudly: "This is Xu Xi, a folk friend of Gu Zhizhao, who is deeply respected by Gu Zhao, who is good at painting flowers, bamboos, trees, cicadas, butterflies, grass and insects, outlining and filling in colors, and the purpose is colorful, and its wonder is no different from nature." What's even better is that Brother Xu is bold and open-minded, and he is ambitious, and he doesn't want to enter my Tang Painting Academy at all, and he is ashamed to be with me, so it's really better for me to wait! ”
Xu Xi, who was also an outstanding painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the fifth dynasty, was never an official in his life, and later generations were known as the first flower and bird painter in the history of Chinese painting who was self-conscious and self-conscious. Guo Ruoxu, a famous connoisseur of calligraphy and painting and a critic of painting history in the Northern Song Dynasty, called Xu Xi's painting style "wild and easy" and respected him as "a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River". Shen Kuo, a scientist and reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty, praised it as "Jiangnan Buyi". The "Xu School", which continues Xu Xi's painting style, is not only one of the two major schools of flower and bird painting in the Five Dynasties, but also one of the famous painting schools in China, which has influenced the flower and bird painting circle of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties for more than 1,000 years.
Hearing the introduction of himself, Xu Xi didn't care, his hands arched in the air casually, which was considered a salute to everyone, and turned his eyes to the several musicians who had already begun to take their seats.
At this time, everyone stared at the white and simple cloth clothes on Xu Xi's body, and then looked at his thin face that was calm and could not make the slightest waves, and couldn't help but secretly marvel in their hearts.
Before long, the soft prelude sounded, and tonight's performance was about to begin!
