Episode 37: Perfect Clearance

After choosing a good ink, you should also pay attention to the ink polishing, the well-polished ink is very smooth to write. 、

When grinding ink, use clean water to grind ink, not for convenience, use tea, hot water or sewage nearby.

Because the tea is easy to damage the ink color, it is not easy to grind, and the hot water is easy to make the ink body swell and decompose, which will directly affect the service life of the ink, and will hinder the brush from licking the ink and writing because there are too many ink particles in the inkstone; Sewage contains impurities, which are easy to stick to the pen and directly hinder the operation of the pen when writing.

It is best to use the left hand when grinding ink, some people are used to grinding ink with the right hand, in fact, this is not good. Because grinding ink does not need to use a lot of force, but it is not three or five times can be grinded, a long time, the hand will inevitably have a feeling of soreness, to write, often can not write much, wrist strength will feel insufficient and tired, in this way, it is bound to affect the pen strength and momentum of the word, therefore, people who are interested in learning calligraphy, it is best to develop the habit of grinding ink with the left hand at the beginning.

Grinding ink is a meticulous work, need patience and carefulness, there must be certain rules when grinding ink, generally speaking, the force should not be too violent, to evenly force in a certain direction, gradually form a circle or oval in the middle of the inkstone, and then according to this shape from far to near, from outside to the interior repeatedly grinding; When grinding, the ink body should be kept vertical, not inclined to prevent the ink particles from falling off at any time, and the water on the inkstone should not be added too much, nor too little. Because too much water is added, it is easy to cause ink splashing with the grinding of ink, polluting the calligraphy or paper on the desktop; If too little water is added, it is easy to dry grind and damage the surface of the inkstone.

Therefore, water should be added while grinding until the amount of ink required for one writing is reached, and the amount of ink required for each writing is better than one grinding. In this way, the ink intensity can be consistent across the page. If you write while writing and grinding, the ink color is often different, and at the same time, it will also affect the continuity of the brushwork between the characters, both of which are directly detrimental to the artistic beauty of calligraphy.

One of the most difficult aspects of grinding ink is to control the intensity of the ink, and the ink should not be too light or too thick. If it is too light, the words written are not full of brilliance, and it is easy to make the ink draw open to the surroundings, resulting in the disadvantage of increasing the ink and becoming an "ink pig"; If it is too thick, it is difficult to move the pen when writing, and even the phenomenon of "pen lag" occurs, which directly affects the momentum of the word.

It is because there is so much attention to detail that the work of grinding ink seems simple, but it is not easy to do.

Midsummer evening with the left hand of the ink block on the inkstone grinding moderate strength, this seems to others to be very grinding work, but Midsummer evening very like, she feels that every time the ink grinding is a kind of precipitation, so that the heart of the process of calming down.

In the past, when she practiced calligraphy, no matter what she was busy with before practicing calligraphy, whether her mood was good or bad, as long as she picked up the ink block and began to grind, her heart would calm down, and when she finished grinding the ink and began to write, she was generally in a state of no distractions.

The shopkeeper was looking forward to the late arrival of midsummer at the beginning, and naturally paid more attention to her at this time, and saw that her breath became more and more peaceful with the movement of grinding ink, so he nodded with satisfaction.

While paying attention to the midsummer evening, he also gave some attention to others, and several people present had practiced calligraphy, so in the level of grinding ink, several people did okay, but Fang Zeyu used his right hand to grind ink, which was different from the three sisters and brothers of the Sheng family in this regard.

When Fang Zeyu began to sharpen ink, he naturally found that he was different from them, but it was useless to find out, he had been grinding ink with his right hand before, even if the left-hand grinding ink was the most correct, he couldn't change it temporarily, he could only wait for it to practice slowly in the future.

After grinding the ink, Midsummer looked up at the shopkeeper, "Boss, is there a rule to write anything?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "No, you can write as much as you like." ”

Hearing this, the midsummer evening pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and dipped it in ink and began to put pen on the paper.

This time, the midsummer evening used a thin gold body, and she wrote the four big characters "Tonggu Bojin" on the paper.

The shopkeeper saw that she wrote these words in one go, using a different font, which was unexpectedly not good.

When I stopped writing in the middle of summer, I immediately opened my mouth and praised, "Good words!" I thought it was not good to look good with your hard pen in the show before, I didn't expect you to be thin and golden, I must frame this character and hang it up. ”

Midsummer chuckled, "If you like it, it's fine." ”

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "I like it, but I still have a reluctant request, can you write one more word?" Use the kind of font you wrote on the show. ”

Midsummer Evening happily agreed, and the shopkeeper saw that she agreed, and hurriedly helped to carefully move the previous words aside to dry.

"Boss, do you have anything you want me to write?"

The first word, Midsummer Evening was written with his own thoughts, and the second word, Midsummer Evening wanted to write what the boss wanted.

"Then please write me a generational inheritance! It can correspond to the Tonggu Bojin you wrote before. ”

"Okay."

After responding lightly in the middle of summer, she dipped her pen in ink and began to walk the pen, and when she wrote the second word, Fang Zeyu and several others had also written, so they all gathered around to watch her write.

The second word, the midsummer evening is no longer a one-stroke, but each word is written separately, the stroke of each word is very imposing, and the shopkeeper is very satisfied with watching it from the side.

After writing the second word in the middle of summer, the shopkeeper was impatient to lead them to the customs clearance to check in and receive the reward.

For the rewards of clearing the customs at this station, each of them got a hand-made brush, and got the summary of the next level and the liquidity of the next level.

Seeing that there is still liquidity at this level, I have been saving money in the middle of summer for the past few days, and I began to plan that I might be able to arrange a good meal tomorrow.

Because there can be no tie in the rankings, when he went to receive the reward, Fang Zeyu took the initiative to say that he would receive the reward for the second place, his reason was very good, he was only one person, and the reward for the second place was enough for him, and at this stop, he was purely lying down to win, and it was already very good to be able to win the second place.

The reason given by Fang Zeyu was convincing enough, and there was nothing to say about the midsummer evening, and a few people went back to the homestay after receiving the reward.

After receiving the reward, Sheng Xiaqing, who was down-to-earth, picked the wheat on her body as soon as she returned to the homestay, hid in the quilt and began to hum quietly.

The pain in the bare part of her foot had always been with her, and it didn't hurt so much to divert attention from something else before, but now it's fine, and her whole body and mind are used to feel the pain.

It's just that no matter how painful it is, she doesn't snort loudly, she doesn't want her painful appearance to be recorded, if Wang Xinyi and those black fans see it at this time, she won't be happy to kill them.
