readx;? It can be described as "inviting guests from all over the world to welcome relatives and friends from all over the world." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Ah, as far as the eye can see, this is really a lot of attention, the sheds in the square are full of people, and there are horse-drawn carriages coming one after another, and everyone is in anticipation of the first game of the Four Nations Conference: painting skills."

Because it is divided into male and female groups first, and then mixed, it is divided into morning and afternoon, twice, but the officials who came from the imperial city do not have to worry, because not far away, the court will talk to some restaurants to come here to set up stalls, because there is a piece of the court in it, the price is naturally more favorable, and it may even be enjoyed without silver at all, which completely takes care of some of the ordinary people who came to watch the game.

Because it is a competition of painting skills, there are many scholars from major academies who come, of course, when they report the list, they are already ready to move, and many people who don't know much are more willing to watch those more lively competitions, such as martial arts, which is more to their appetite.

Therefore, there are not many people who come to see calligraphy and painting, first of all, these competitions, the scene must be silent, and the common people are mostly lively, so they will not blindly make up for it, not to mention, this time, among the painter representatives of Xuanchi Kingdom, one of them is a member of the academy, so everyone tacitly agrees not to compete with those scholars for this place.

Of course, Yang Xiang has long considered that some people may not comply with the regulations of this registration, and he has long explained that if someone is found out by impersonation, he will not only be fined a certain amount of silver, but also be detained in prison by the government for several days.

Because usually, it is not that there has never been such a situation, there are also those businessmen and the like, trying to be lively, paying money to buy the quota in the hands of the common people, there was a time when Emperor Zhaohua held a banquet for the New Year, and when he rewarded the ordinary people from all over the country, this situation occurred, and Longwei was furious at that time, so this time in the face of not only the people of his own country but also the envoys of other countries, it is necessary to pay attention to this situation, and the effect is also very good.

When the people who came to watch on the field were almost seated, the seven people on the judges' bench over there were all there, and Yang Xiang naturally did not participate in the team because he was still responsible for coordinating various situations on the field.

He also picked a good eloquence from the Ministry of Rites to be the host, Yang Xiang sat aside, supervising at any time, as for Shen Ting, the affairs in the court always need someone to do, therefore, he is busy communicating with the envoys of various countries at any time, and then completing the part of Emperor Zhaohua that should be in charge of him, which is also busy.

"Now it's the first drawing skills competition, and the men's group is invited to enter the competition first. The little official of the Ministry of Rites, Deng Qing held a microphone that could be used to amplify sound in his hand, and shouted at the venue.

Then I saw a group of people, coming from the left rear of the square, a total of fifteen people, including three in the Xuanchi Kingdom, and the person who had attracted the attention of all parties because of the Four Nations Conference because of his status as a scholar also walked among them.

"Please take your seat. Deng Qing continued to shout.

The team, behind a small eunuch who was responsible for leading the team, stood behind the long row of tables on the left, and everyone found that there were still some positions on the right, but they were empty.

"Now the women's bracket is invited. Deng Qing shouted.

Everyone suddenly realized that the original half was reserved for women, and they saw a group of women coming from the right rear of the square, and listened to Deng Qing's instructions, stood on the right, and waited for the announcement of the title of the competition.

"The title of this painting skills competition was personally presented by the lord of Xuanchi Kingdom, and because it has just been delivered, you don't have to worry about the topic being leaked in advance. After Deng Qing finished speaking, he took a bright yellow scroll from the hands of a team of guards, unfolded it, and showed it to the seven people first, and then prepared to publicize it.

"The title of the men's group is: Peach and plum all over the world, and the title of the women's group is: Colorful butterflies. Please start painting for two hours. Deng Qing picked up the bright yellow scroll again and read it out.

"Fellow contestants, please rest assured that your paintings will be presented to the judges by sealing their names before they are judged. Deng Qing explained as usual.

When these judges choose, they need to know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise it is difficult to make a judgment, but the judgment of martial arts and dance is judged by the other two teams of judges, and they are also separated from the main seven people who have arranged a residence.

The people in the audience, after hearing the topic, began to ponder or ponder, those who came to watch also waited quietly with bated breath, and the seven judges were also silently drinking tea on the stage and waiting.

Two hours of time, fast and slow, soon those scrolls were collected, first those contestants were invited to the rear, and then the judges on the table took them one by one from the hands of the little eunuchs who collected the scrolls, and carefully studied them.

First watched the works of the men's group, in fact, everyone's painting skills are basically not too different, after all, they are the best in various countries, so the first look at the painting skills is easy to solve, only remove two or three slightly worse, the next is to look at the composition and artistic conception.

Since the painting has a title, then the artist's understanding of the title, as well as the composition and artistic conception he expresses, are worthy of consideration.

Take the title of this men's group, "Peach and Plum All Over the World", first of all, let's talk about this five-word title, when it comes to peach and plum all over the world, everyone will naturally think of the word teacher, because it is the hard work of this profession to the students of Guangzhou University that can be so praised.

And since it involves the friendship between teachers and students, as well as this peach and this plum, everyone's reaction is naturally different, someone painted a white-bearded old man who looks like a teacher, standing in the peach forest, followed by the students, or wearing official robes, or wearing cloth clothes, holding the fruit in his hands, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Some people painted students sitting around the teacher, holding fruits in their hands, as if expressing their love for the teacher, and that's probably it.

But in the end, what really caught the judges' attention was a painting, in fact, the composition of this painting is not difficult, compared to those portraits with many figures, this one is much simpler, because there is only one figure.

Yes, this painting is a peach forest, and under the tree is standing a young scholar-like person, wearing a green shirt as if the wind slowly blows the corners of the robe, and the peach blossoms of the tree after tree are also shaking the petals, or falling suddenly, or blooming with buds.

In the end, I chose this painting as the first name, and chose a picture depicting a dying old gentleman lying on the couch, fed to him by a student with a decoction, and a student who walked in with a freshly broken peach blossom, talking to him, and the old gentleman's eyes seemed to flash a different light as the second name.

And the one with so many students sitting around and enjoying the fruits together was awarded third place.

"The men's division is invited to re-enter and accept the results. After receiving the final list, Deng Qing naturally invited those players first.

The contestant who won the first place was the scholar who received a lot of attention, but he lived up to expectations and achieved good results, while the second place was a painter from the West Sea Kingdom, and the third place was a native of the Northern Underworld.

The level of those painters who come to participate in the competition is not low, of course, there are generally few countries that will take the age as a representative, because the age is rich in experience, the natural level is not on the same level, if it is released rashly, it will only make everyone feel ashamed.

Those painters thought that their work was very good, but when they saw that picture, they understood why they chose that painting, and they didn't react too much, accepted the results of this selection, and ended up one after another.

Whether it is an award-winning painting or a non-award-winning painting, it will be arranged for people to hold it in the process of the judges looking at the paintings of the women's group, and the eunuchs in the palace will slowly display them around the square, which is also to show the fairness of the competition.

If the spectators put forward a different point of view, or are not satisfied with the result, or even put forward more convincing remarks, a new competition will be arranged, and the ability of these judges will be questioned, then, there will be a certain crisis, of course, this is the last thing Yang Xiang wants to see.

In the shed, a few scholars who didn't know why asked the gentleman who twisted his beard and nodded frequently after seeing the famous painting on display, and asked him to explain.

"Sir, you can see it, tell us about it, it's a long experience. ”

"Yes, yes. "Listening to the paintings of those scholars, a few ordinary people also came over to ask for it.

"What a painting!" said the gentleman.

"You see the painting, the painting is obviously a young gentleman, and the peach grove on the painting is also in full bloom, and some of them are even still holding buds, right?" Mr.'s head shook three times, this is a habit he has when he teaches in the academy on weekdays, and he can't help but shake because he sees a pleasing work.

"Eh, sir, you say that, it's true, but he didn't draw peaches or anything, unlike the third place, you can see that the students are thanking the teacher with a good harvest of peaches and plums. One of the students accosted, a little puzzled on his face.

"It's not that there is fruit, you kid stares at the food all day long, thinking I don't know, you have to look deeper, this is called appreciation, do you understand. When the gentleman heard him say this, he laughed and scolded him a few times, and then saw that the student smiled embarrassedly, and then continued.

"There is no fruit in the painting, but the peach blossoms are going to bloom or not, and when the time comes, there will be fruit, as for the young gentleman under the tree, when the time comes, when the fruit bears, he will be older year after year, and in the end, it will not be all over the world, so I say that this painter of Yun'an Academy is really amazing. The gentleman narrowed his eyes and was full of emotion.

"Oh, I see, that's true. The people in the circle were also amazed.

Immediately afterwards, the results of the selection of the women's group over there also came out, and in the end, a woman from Nanning won the first place, and the daughter of the Gu family in Xuan Chiguo was the third place.

In this way, the whole morning's competition was over, and everyone left the shed, and successively went to the place where the stalls were set up to eat, waiting for the more fierce competition in the afternoon......
