Chapter 36: Fighting Books and Paintings
Kong Jing took out his book first, and in the midst of the amazement, Shen Ao went over to look at it. This line of calligraphy is slightly better than the calligraphy mounted on the wall, but the stiffness is still obvious, and the level of calligraphy of the pilgrims is not high. But in Shen Ao's opinion, the heat is far behind.
Seeing that everyone applauded, a hint of joy flashed across his face, and he hurriedly said: "The clumsiness is unbearable, what does Master Shen think?" ”
Shen Ao smiled slightly: "The foundation is very good, and the layout is also very chic, but it's a pity that the words are average, and the cursive writing pays attention to the spiritual surname, but this word is more than hard, but it has lost its mellow spiritual rhyme, it's a pity, it's a pity." With that, he shook his head, and sentenced the empty book to death like a judge.
No matter how good the empty quiet cultivation is, my heart is uncomfortable, my thin face is pulled down, and I pronounce a Buddha name, suppressing the hatred in my heart.
The pilgrims were upset about Kongjing, and they clamored and said, "Where did the boy come from, he dared to say that Master Kongjing's words were not good?" It's too arrogant. ”
Xiao Sha Mi Shi Xiaohu also followed to help: "My master's line writing is the best." ”
Shen Ao ignored these pilgrims, and walked to the empty table to look at the empty paintings. Kong Ding sneered: "You must say that my painting is not good, right?" ”
The bamboo branches rendered by ink are vigorous and fresh, full of vitality, and the bones of the bamboo are dotted with heavy ink, which is very distinct. At first glance, this painting is quite good, but in Shen Ao's eyes, there are still many fatal flaws.
He smiled: "The bamboo painted by Master Kongding is very chic, but it's a pity that you want to learn Wentong's brushwork, but you can't get home, Wentong's ink bamboo has a chic posture and a beautiful Tanluan, Master Kongding thinks that his painting is better than Wentong?" ”
Wen Tong was also a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty and was known for being good at painting bamboo. He painted bamboo leaves, creating a method of thick ink for the face and light ink for the back, forming a school of ink and bamboo, known as the "master of ink and bamboo". The bamboo of the empty painting, imitating the ink bamboo of Wentong, but unfortunately the technique is not at home, not only did not improve himself, but went astray.
Kongding was furious: "I can't compare to Wen Tong, can't I compare to you kid?" Come, take your paintings. ”
The pilgrims also reprimanded one after another, saying that Shen Ao was too unreasonable and extremely rebellious. Shen Ao invited everyone to his case to see, but when Kong Ding and Kong Jing arrived in front of the case, they were stunned.
Shen Ao painted a picture of the Budai monk lying on his side, this picture only has a monk lying on his side in the mountain rock, the background is mainly plain, only to see the Budai monk smiling, free and natural, and the scenery behind him is one, tranquil but with a sense of quiet and inaction.
In particular, the monk's eyes seem to have insight into the truth of the universe, understand the great road of the world, and are full of wisdom, making the whole character more vivid.
"Good painting!" Kong Ding was suddenly in high spirits, and couldn't help shouting, his eyes constantly looking at the monk in the painting, immersed in it.
In the lower right corner of the painting, a small poem attracted Kong Jing's attention, and Kong Jing slowly chanted: "Hands plant green seedlings all over the field, and when you look down, you can see the sky in the water; A pure heart is the way, and regression is the way forward. Good poems, good words......"
This poem is about the Budai monk and the farmer planting rice together, and the heart has a feeling, and from the farmer's behavior of planting rice to understand the universal truth. "Planting seedlings in the field" means that when a farmer plants seedlings, he holds a handful of seedlings in one hand and inserts a few seedlings into the mud in the field with the fingers of the other.
"Look down and see the sky in the water" means that the farmer who planted the rice lowered his head and saw the sky reflected in the paddy field.
"A pure heart is the way" is when the body and mind are not contaminated by worldly fame and fortune, and only then can they communicate with the way that transcends the world.
"Regression turns out to be forward" means that the farmer is planting seedlings and retreating while planting. It was because he retreated that he was able to continue planting seedlings. Therefore, the regression of the farmer's transplantation is the work moving forward.
This poem is not a masterpiece of the world, but the truth in it is thought-provoking, it tells others: from the low can see the high, from the near can see the distance, and backward can be regarded as forward. On the way of life, you can't always hold your head high; Sometimes you have to bow your head, or reverse the lessons of the way, or look at the road under your feet, or pass under the low eaves, and you have to bow your head. On the road of life, you can't always move forward bravely; Sometimes it is necessary to stagnate, or to look at the future, or to recharge energy; Sometimes it is necessary to go backwards temporarily, or to retreat for the sake of a better leap. Don't always be competitive when dealing with people; Sometimes it takes concessions, sometimes it takes patience, and sometimes it takes submission.
The sentence "regression" is the finishing touch, which is not only rich in Buddhist thought, but also the most rational statement of life. Shen Ao wrote this poem because he was afraid of being beaten by the monks, the monks know martial arts, maybe they are still narrow, wow, if they win them, they are angry but they have to move their fists Shen Ao is not an opponent. Therefore, this poem was written to let these two monks know that they must bow their heads when passing under the low eaves, not to be unconvinced, and not to use violence.
This is the monk's nest, this poem is just in time for the scene, take out the cloth bag monk, the ancestor of the monks, and there is a little bit of a slap on the monks' ass.
For Kongjing, the poem is a good poem, but the word is even better, this word still uses Dong Qichang's technique, the ink color is distinct, clumsy and beautiful, clear and elegant. Although Dong Qichang's character is not very good, his calligraphy is a collection of the strengths of each family, and it is extraordinary.
Empty staring at the painting, empty looking at the words, are stunned, such a good word and good painting, they are unheard of, its technique and layout can be described as unprecedented, if not seen with their own eyes, who would have thought that it was made by a teenager.
Shi Xiaohu couldn't understand it, and when he saw that his master and uncle were speechless, he stepped forward and said: "My master's handwriting is better than that of the donor, and my uncle's painting is better than that of the donor." ”
Shen Ao smiled: "Why don't you ask your master and uncle to go." ”
The pilgrims saw the doorway, and they all fell into this calligraphy and painting, and those who couldn't see the doorway clearly saw the two monks with such expressions, and they all guessed some clues.
After a long time, the empty eyes reluctantly left the book, and sighed: "The old monk has lived for such a long time, and he is ashamed to be ashamed to have an axe. ”
Kong Ding said ashamedly: "This painting is really unprecedented, with Gu Kaizhi's lightness and Zhanzi's pious charm." I accepted it and admitted defeat to Shen Xianggong, but I don't know who Shen Xianggong inherited? Where to learn drawing. ”
Gu Kaizhi and Zhan Ziqian are both famous painters of calligraphy and painting, and the comparison between these two people and Shen Ao has caused the pilgrims to be surprised, many of them actually don't know calligraphy and painting, but they just feel that Shen Ao's painting charm is better, calligraphy is more exquisite, where do you know what is the best work, and then they all think: "This young man is really so powerful?" When did there be a young genius in Bianjing City who was excellent in calligraphy and painting. ”
Chun'er proudly replied for Shen Ao: "Brother Shen has no teacher, he is self-taught." ”
The emptiness and emptiness were very shocked, and they couldn't help but say together: "How can there be such a thing in the world? ”
Everyone looked at Shen Ao's gaze differently all of a sudden, without a teacher, he could make the two great monks of Kongding and Kongjing be respected to such a point, this is no longer something that can be described by heaven, it is simply the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing.
Shen Ao smiled slightly, you must not be proud at this time, the more proud you are, the more you will be seen. Be reserved, low-key, and of course, show that little bit of inscrutableness, so that others can admire and admire it more.
Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, Shen Ao loves money, better fame, what indifference to fame and fortune is actually fake, often people who say that they are indifferent to fame and fortune are hypocrites, if you really want to be indifferent to fame and fortune, then what are you calling around.
Shen Ao is a real villain, what's wrong with liking to be admired, Shen Ao can't wait to be a scarab in the firefly field in the dark night, bright enough, outstanding enough.
He thought to himself, "Do you want to say something?" Thanks to Guo Jia? Or CCTV? Wow, I'm very moved, everyone's mood is very high, especially these two monks, how can this look familiar. Let me think about it, by the way, this is simply a copy of the fifth elder brother who is still pursuing the son of Zhu Gege, although the monk rubbed it a little. But this look will discharge. ”
Shen Ao couldn't help but shiver and got goosebumps.
