After eating the Hui ink crisp brought by Shu Hanyan, Lan Eucalyptus suddenly became interested in a piece of inkstone placed on the corner of the table.

Lan Eucalyptus saw that his hands were itchy, and asked with a polite smile, "The shape of that inkstone is so chic, can you show me?" ”

Shu Hanyan was generous, "Of course you can!" As he spoke, he picked up the inkstone and pushed it towards the blue eucalyptus.

Lan Eucalyptus now saw clearly, this is a piece of Songkeng gongs and drums and five oxen pattern of the inkstone, the design concept comes from one of China's top ten famous paintings - five ox picture.

The five cows have different shapes: the happy and affectionate fortune cow symbolizes the blessing to come; The happy wishful cow symbolizes the successful harvest and tasting sweet fruits; The happy and healthy Wangjia Niu looks back and looks forward to it, symbolizing the prosperity of the family; Entering the pioneer cow with steady and steady steps symbolizes forging ahead and making great progress; The beckoning ox standing upright and mooing with its mouth open symbolizes wisdom, wisdom, good speech, and wealth.

Lan Yu couldn't help but praise, "This is really ingenious, is it sold in the store?" ”

Shu Hanyan shook his head, "I don't sell it in the store, but my cousin Shu Hanbo sells inkstones." ”

Lan Eucalyptus asked Shu Hanyan to take him to his cousin's shop. Shu Hanbo's Yan shop is also on this street, and when they entered the store, Shu Hanbo was practicing calligraphy in the store.

The ink color on the raw Xuan is thick and black, the pen is solid and heavy, the ink does not float, and it can be a human paper, with a dignified and calm, radiant effect.

Lan Eucalyptus suddenly remembered that the ancient calligraphers Yan Zhenqing and Su Shi both liked to use thick ink. Su Dongpo's requirements for the use of ink are: "The light is clear and not floating, and it is as clear as a child's eyes." "It is believed that the use of ink is light but not black, and the role of ink is lost; If it is black but not light, it is "unavoidable".

Counting carefully, Su Shi's ink has a thick artistic effect. Liu Yong of the Qing Dynasty used heavy ink, and his book style was rich and strong, and he was known as the "Prime Minister of Thick Ink".

On the walls of Sheyan Hall, there are also a few pairs of light ink. The light ink is between black and white, with a gray tone, giving people a clear and elegant beauty.

What Qichang makes good use of is light ink, which is rich in shade changes, ethereal and clear, quiet and elegant.

Eucalyptus blue carefully tasted, I feel that the thick and light ink has its own charm, the key is to master, and the ink is too light to hurt the spirit; Too strong is just bad for no edge.

As Zhou Xinglian of the Qing Dynasty said: "The method of using ink, strong desire for its life, and light desire for its gorgeous life and flower, must be wide with ink." Those who do not make good use of ink are easy to dry if they are thick, and they are nearly thin if they are light, and they are dying in a few years. ”

Between the thick books and light ink, there are also mixed with rising ink and dry brushes. The beauty of the ink rise lies in maintaining the basic form of the strokes, but also having a hazy ink interest, and the lines and surfaces are blended. The thirsty pen is moist, and the dry pen is old and spicy.

Shu Hanyan walked behind his cousin and patted him on the shoulder, leaned closer to the rice paper and gazed deeply, "Brother, your calligraphy is getting better and better." ”

Isn't it? Shu Hanbo's ink expression skills are very rich, and water is the key to expressing each ink method.

"Painting Tan" cloud: "The ink method is using water, with ink as the form, water as the air, and the shape is alive." It is reasonable to occupy the ink and say".

Shu Hanbo's ink skills are also closely related to the weight of the brushwork and the advantages and disadvantages of the paper. The change in the ink color of a calligraphy work will enhance the rhythmic beauty of the work. Of course, the use of ink is natural, and we should not blindly pursue a certain ink effect and fall into the vulgar environment.

Shu Hanyan was very accustomed to saying, "I'll help you sharpen the ink." "If there are impurities in the water, the ink will not be pure. Add too much water to avoid soaking the ink softly, or splashing the ink, so it is advisable to add it gradually.
