Chapter 77: Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface: The First Book in the World

"Anchor, anchor, continue, continue."

"Do you want to continue?"

"Yes, we all want to hear you tell a story about the ancient city of Shaoxing. Of course, I also love the beautiful prose you read. ”

"Actually......"

After reading "Social Opera", Chen Fan stopped.

Looking at everyone's messages on the public frequency, Chen Fan said: "There are still many stories about the ancient city of Shaoxing and about Luzhen. Here, he also lives Kong Yiji, Ah Q, and Xianglin's sister-in-law. ”

"Kong Yiji, Ah Q, Xianglin's sister-in-law...... Who are they? ”

"This ......"

Chen Fan shook his head: "I won't introduce it for the time being." ”

He hadn't figured out how to introduce the characters to the characters.

In fact, when introducing Lu Xun, Chen Fan hesitated for a while.

The world was only unified during the Ming Dynasty.

Basically, except for the Ming Dynasty, many of the things that followed were different from the previous life.

Regarding the content introduced by Lu Xun, there are many backgrounds that are also different from this world.

In particular, Lu Xun's works are very ironic.

Although Chen Fan can also take it out, it ...... Without a good introduction to the background of this world, the audience may not be able to feel the greatness of these works.

But.

To really introduce the background of the Lu Xun era, this is a bit big.

It's not just big.

And there are too many contents involved, and Chen Fan didn't know how to introduce it all of a sudden.

But that's fine.

The first few articles are just ordinary prose and do not particularly need the context of the times.

The audience and the reader can simply think of him as an essay or a story.

As for the latter ones.

Chen Fan thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go to Lanting." ”

If you want to talk about Shaoxing, he is not only the ancient city of Shaoxing.

Like what.

Among them, the famous Lanting, Chen Fan was very interested.

Previously, many Internet celebrities, scholars, and calligraphers ...... They all went to Lantei.

But in the past two days, it seems that there has not been much effect.

……

About half an hour, Chen Fan took a car to Lanting.

Lanting is located in Lanting Town, Shaoxing, which is the famous hometown of calligraphy.

There are many calligraphy figures here.

As soon as he arrived at Lanting, Chen Fan broadcast live again.

"Everyone, we've arrived at the Rantei."

The Rantei is actually not big.

The real core location is such a small pavilion of more than ten square meters.

But at this time, it is a bit lively.

A group of people in the calligraphy industry are holding a Lanting Cup calligraphy competition.

Chen Fan didn't pay attention to them, but first took his mobile phone and turned around the place a few times.

It's just that everyone is a little uninterested, and said: "Anchor, this Lanting is too small, there is nothing to see." ”

"Didn't you see that they were holding a calligraphy competition?"

"We know that Lanting is the hometown of calligraphy, but what is there to see about calligraphy."

"You guys...... Okay, let me tell you a story about the book saint Wang Xizhi. ”

Chen Fan smiled.

Ordinary calligraphy masters naturally have nothing to say.

But what if it's Wang Xizhi.

"Book Saint?"

"Of course?"

Chen Fan said: "In the summer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a calligrapher named Wang Xizhi, who was good at writing at the age of seven and studied under Wei Fuzi and Zhong Xuan at the age of 12. It is said that Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard when he was a child, but he dyed the dirty pond in front of the door to clean the brush. Because of his high talent, and learn from others, the world evaluates his calligraphy, such as a shock, graceful like a dragon, Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Huamao Chun Song. It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like the snow of the wind......"

"Fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon...... I'll go, don't be so exaggerated. ”

"No, no, no, it's not an exaggeration at all. Because of his status in calligraphy, the world respectfully called him a calligrapher. ”

"Tut, okay, anchor, you won, I was attracted by what you said about Wang Xizhi. However, if you want to talk about the saint of books, it is estimated that many people are not convinced. ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

Chen Fan was not in a hurry or slow: "Let's listen to a few short stories of Wang Xizhi first." ”

If you want to talk about Wang Xizhi, you can't just talk about his calligraphy.

It's really hard for ordinary people to appreciate calligraphy.

Therefore, Chen Fan first planned to start with some small stories of Wang Xizhi. After thinking about it, Chen Fan said: "Wang Xizhi was born in a famous family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and is Wang Kuang's second son. At that time, there was a calligrapher named Xi Jian, who was also an important minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he had a daughter, who was twenty-eight years old, very beautiful and virtuous. Once, Xi Jian came to Wang Xizhi's uncle Wang Dao's house, because his uncle was a minister at the time, Xi Jian said that he wanted to find a son-in-law. Director Wang said Okay, I have a lot of children in my family, you can choose whatever you want, and whichever one you choose. ”

The story is still very interesting.

Chen Fan just started, and he immediately attracted a lot of fans.

A few days later, Xi Jian came to Director Wang's house again with a generous gift. When all the children of Director Wang's family heard that Xi Jian came to choose a son-in-law, they all wore new clothes and carefully dressed themselves, hoping to be selected. It's just that from the looks of it, Xi Jian doesn't like these children very much. Later, when I counted the number of people, I found that there was one person missing. So the housekeeper of the palace led the housekeeper Xi Jian to another east study, and found a young man sleeping on the east bed, and he didn't care at all about the matter of the captain's choice of son-in-law. Then the housekeeper said to Xi Jian that there were more than 20 young sons in the palace, and when they heard that Xi Mansion was electing a son-in-law, they were all scrambling for election, but only one son in the east bed slept on the bed and was not interested. Xi Jian said, I want to choose such a person. So, the housekeeper took Xi Jian to the east study, and when he saw that this person was both talented and good-looking, he gave a dowry on the spot. The person sleeping on the east bed was none other than Wang Xizhi. Therefore, later, there was also the saying that the east bed was a fast son-in-law. ”

"Son-in-law in the east bed, isn't this a daughter-in-law who married a daughter-in-law while lying in bed?"

"Hahaha, it's fun, it's fun, it's so much fun."

Although this is only a small story, the story is fresh and unique, and it is very memorable.

Many people have said: "Anchor, anchor, continue, continue." ”

Chen Fan smiled slightly and continued: "This is just a small episode, there are many stories related to Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Once, the emperor wanted to go to the northern suburbs to worship, and asked Wang Xizhi to write the congratulations on the wooden board, and then send workers to carve them. The carver was very surprised when carving, because he found that the pen power of Wang Xizhi's writing had penetrated into the wood for more than three minutes. Therefore, this is called three points into the wood. ”

"Three points into the wood, I rely on it, it's really a book saint."

Before, everyone had some doubts about whether Wang Xizhi was a book saint.

But after Chen Fan's few short stories, they unconsciously regarded Wang Xizhi as a book saint.

But Chen Fan's story is not over.

Today's Lanting is the point.

Then, Chen Fan continued: "In the year 353 of the park, Wang Xizhi and a group of friends came to Lanting to drink and write poems. Wang Xizhi compiled these poems into a collection and wrote a preface, which is called "The Preface to the Lanting Collection". Because this preface is calligraphy in the form of calligraphy, the preface of the Lanting Collection is also called the first line of calligraphy in the world......"
