Chapter 114: Literacy
Xiang Xiao Lady announced this blockbuster good news that Xiang Zhong had been looking forward to for a long time, her face was shining with anticipation, she believed that her son was about to be able to meet the "confidant" of his intelligence, which would have a great impact on his life, and he should be able to get better inspiration and education from her.
Xiang Zhong lowered his hands and grabbed the "Qi Swallow", and nodded vigorously, also with a look of excitement and anticipation.
"Great! Finally, we have to wait until the day when we see the great man. β
Ji Yu is much more stable than the "little tail", he gently unfolded a volume of text in the second brocade box, only to see the font on it, it is really strange, unheard of, unseen. The only thing he can read is the part of the big seal, and most of the other parts of the small seal, official script, regular script, line script and cursive script cannot be read, so he asked Xiang Zhong: "What is the fruit?" I don't know Ga! β
Part of the text he was referring to happened to be the "seal script formula" written by Xiang Zhong for fear that he would not be able to read it accurately:
"Zhantumin is a kun
Mu Zhan Xian is eaves
Centritis is positive
Dandruff is easy to be true
Chu Shuxu is easy to sufficient
Abandonment of clouds is not clouds
Twin worms plus ding worms
Three deer from the dust"
Xiang Zhong was a little worried, how to explain this mantra to him?
Xiang Zhong looked at his other treasure, the bag full of small bamboo chips, so he poured out all the small bamboo pieces in this bag, and then divided them into two parts, one part was placed in the part of the big seal font, with each word at an interval, he used the calculation chip as a frame, and framed each of them with a very individual, like a picture of the word, according to its glyph.
Then, with another part of the calculation, the other half of the small seal is also neatly spaced frame marked.
In such a comparison, it is obvious: the big seal is tall, short, fat and thin, all of them are different; The small seal is neat and tidy, every word, the same height and size, neat and beautiful.
"It turns out that you are improving these calligraphy to make it more beautiful and neat!" Ji Yu understood the comparison between the font size and the structure.
As for the meaning of this "formula", Xiang Chongxian picked up these small bamboo pieces and used them to discharge the "Ninety-Nine Multiplication Formula", he knew that this mother had already taught Ji Yu;
Then, he drew inferences from the above-mentioned "word recognition formula" and so on, wrote several words with similar combinations in a row, and then closed his eyes and shook his head to make a look of "chattering and reading" to recite the formula. Then he pointed to the group of words he had taken out, then to the "Ninety-Nine Table", then to the mouth, and finally to the head.
After this series of demonstrations, Ji Yu figured it out, it turned out to be a mantra on how to recognize words, he nodded vigorously, his eyes full of admiration!
In order to explain how the six fonts gradually evolved, Xiang Zhong went to the incense burner in front of the hall again, as he did in Xiangfu the day before, took out some incense ashes from a wooden tray, then smoothed the gray surface with his palm, and then used his index finger to write five versions of the font "home" font:
The word "home" in the big seal, the house is built by four straight lines, which is simply a realistic side section of a spire house, and then the five strokes in it are seriously drawn out of the shape of a "pig" that has not fallen in any part, which they all know;
Then there is the "home" of the small seal, this time the house is no longer a straight line, it has become two curves with a small pointed head pulled down, and the straight line "pig" inside has also become a "lean thin leg shape", which is also a head, limbs and category markers, which are not lacking;
Then there is the "home" in italics, this time the house is only left with the roof, the walls on both sides are not so long, and the pig brother below has a beautiful leg, that stroke "pinch", it is very chic, and it also balances and stabilizes all the left diagonal upward stroke trend;
The "home" of the back line is not much different from the italics, the font strokes are connected, and the chubby feeling of the lean "pig brother" is back;
Finally, there is the cursive "home", just like a cigarette in the air demon twisting and dancing, one stroke through, left and right rotation, and become a simple painting, but compared with the original big seal, here, it is all "tender", and no longer the feeling of "knife cutting axe chisel" iron pen and hard bones.
These six words were written together in order, not only Ji Yu understood it, but even the "little tail" understood the "pig brother" in the house, and happily clapped his hands and laughed: "Cong'er is so good!" That's a lot of pigs! β
She laughed out loud, just in the word "pig" on the tooth hole leakage, when she said it, she almost whistled by the way, the sound effect was extraordinary, scared herself, quickly covered her mouth with both hands, this time laughed even harder, she was laughing at herself just now almost made a fool, fortunately the sound was closed quickly, should not be discovered.
Xiang Xiao Madam also approached this incense ash plate, carefully used her fingers, along with the handwriting of Xiang Chongxiao's hand, one by one and re-drawn, I thought it was quite interesting, I thought, in the future in the study, I need to prepare some incense ash plate, sand table and other learning utensils, so that Cong can have more room to play, and the two students can also learn new things by the way, it is really interesting.
After Xiang Zhong demonstrated his report on the results of his study to the house, Mrs. Xiang tidied up his clothes very intimately, patted the incense ashes that had been stained, and then, just like to an adult son, walked to the bookcase next to him, turned out a literary cabinet, and took out the "invitation letter" sent to the prince of Shang Wu, a special cylinder for letters with the logo of the merchant family, opened the lid of the upper half of the cylinder, and pulled out a very thin bamboo series scroll, and solemnly handed it to him.
From right to left, a neatly formatted "invitation letter" is lined up vertically in a very powerful and robust large seal font, and the text is as follows:
"Yo yo deer chirping, apple of the wild food. I have guests, drummers and shengs. Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with a plum. Rank and rank Sigan secluded South Mountain, I am in a hurry, I have long overdue, I hope that you will be as scheduled, between the sunset moonβββ Shang You is greeted in the house by his father's order. β
This time, Shang Gongzi is correcting the "cooing rooster crow, the forest of vegetables" that Ji Yu renovated last time. I have guests, dancing and singing. "Back to the original intention, it seems that his memory is also quite good.
"Between the sunset and the moon, good! It's coming soon. I'm looking forward to it! β
Xiang was a little excited in the center of gravity, and the "heavyweight" who had been looking forward to it for so long finally had the fate to meet.
"When I go out to meet guests, I want to make a few Xinze robes for you, what are you, how many of you talk about it, what color do you like?"
Xiang Xiaomao is ready to sew new dresses with her own hands, and it seems that this upcoming visit is also quite important to the mother as a teacher.
