Chapter 6 Calligraphy and Painting are Unique

Wu Ziyu looked at Ren Ruoxi carefully, with a goose egg face, a slightly baby fat face, curved willow eyebrows, long black hair, draped behind his head, skin like clotted fat, slender fingers, pitiful but people dare not blaspheme.

Her beauty is different from the beauties he Wu Ziyu has seen, and her beauty has a feeling of weakness and pity in this environment. At that moment, Wu Ziyu was a little drunk.

Wu Ziyu has not seen beautiful women, Qingdao is originally a city full of beautiful women. There are a lot of beautiful women here, although this has nothing to do with him, but it is not illegal to take a look.

His gaze was sharp and aggressive, and Ren Ruoxi felt this for a moment, but he didn't seem to be getting carried away staring at himself.

Ren Ruoxi took the "History of the Ming Dynasty" handed over by Wu Ziyu and said, "Thank you." ”

Wu Ziyu nodded, stood up, and continued to look for a copy of "History of the Qing Dynasty" to read, he was a little addicted to reading history, reading history books, knowing the rise and fall, with Wu Ziyu's current level of ancient literature, reading some obscure classical Chinese, more Xiaobaiwen than reading Xiaobaiwen.

Wu Ziyu was still sitting in his original seat. Because in the history room of the library, there are very few people who come, and there are few seats. Adults come here for bestsellers, children come either to gather in front of children's books or to immerse themselves in fantasy online novels, and now there are fewer and fewer people who can sink their hearts to read history and study art.

Ren Ruoxi opened the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and read the era in which Tang Yin lived at that time.

Born in Chenghua, died in Jiajing, he was smart since he was a child, but he suffered misfortune, his family was in decline, he was implicated in a fraud case, he had no chance to be in the officialdom, and finally entered the Ning Wangfu as a staff member, but King Ning wanted to sit in the north and face south, and ascended to the throne, and Tang Yin fled alone. In his later years, he lived a difficult life and ended up depressed.

Tang Yin's calligraphy and painting are amazing, and her talent is amazing, but in the end she ended up depressed, which made Ren Ruoxi sigh and let her hide her thoughts for a long time.

Why is it that such a talented person does not have a fairytale-like ending? Frustrated with officialdom, he has to place his affection on landscape poetry and painting, what kind of mentality can depict the amorous landscape and the graceful maid?

Ren Ruoxi suddenly wanted to find someone to communicate with, and wanted to share the pain of Tang Yin's incomprehension with others.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Wu Ziyu next to her.

Although this person's gaze is a little unbearable, he is not a hypocritical person, and Ren Ruoxi can feel that Wu Ziyu only appreciates it in his eyes, not **, and he can read the history books and see the man in tears, it must not be bad.

When Ren Ruoxi looked at Wu Ziyu, Wu Ziyu also happened to turn his head to look at her, and at this moment, the two seemed to have a heart.

He reads so attentively, and is deeply immersed in history, he must have some insight into history. The most important thing is that Wu Ziyu only lost his mind for a moment when he saw him, but then his eyes turned clear, obviously he was not crooked because of his beauty.

Wu Ziyu had just finished reading the "History of the Qing Dynasty" in the prosperous era of Kangqian, although he felt sorry for Emperor Chongzhen and lamented for the Ming Dynasty, but when he saw Kangxi, Yongzheng, and the three emperors of Qianlong did not slaughter the people because of their foreign status, but let the people live a good life, and his mood improved.

In the past, Wu Ziyu was asked to read history books, and he couldn't even swallow dates, so he could only say that his eyes were black, but today Wu Ziyu watched very happily, and he also wanted to find someone to share the joy in his heart.

It just so happened that this intellectual, talented girl also looked at herself at the same time, which made Wu Ziyu feel more comfortable like a spring breeze.

"You, can I disturb me?" Ren Ruoxi watched Wu Ziyu close the book and spoke first.

Wu Ziyu glanced at the book in Ren Ruoxi's hand, in addition to the "History of the Ming Dynasty" that he had borrowed earlier, there were also two books: "Wumen Four Sons Technique" and "Tang Yin's Indulgent Landscape".

Tang Yin?Wu Ziyu became interested in Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, the heads of the four sons of Wu Sect in Ren Ruoxi's hands.

If there is no integration of essence blood and amber, Wu Ziyu's most direct impression of Tang Bohu is the movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", as well as the beautiful autumn fragrance, the broken intestine dispersion that is necessary for home travel, and the headless overlord gun that defeated the scholar's life-killing sword.

But now that Wu Ziyu's essence blood amber is integrated, there are still a lot of detailed memories about Tang Bohu, and it is obvious that Tang Bohu is deeply impressed in the brain of this cultivator.

Tang Bohu, recognized at that time as the three unique poems, calligraphy and paintings, self-named six such as laymen, the owner of the peach blossom hermitage, very talented. However, his talent did not bring him his due status, wealth and glory, Tang Yin's life in addition to looking for sustenance in poetry, calligraphy and painting, both life and career are a mess.

"What, you have also studied the paintings of the four sons of Wu Sect?" Ren Ruoxi saw Wu Ziyu staring at the few books in his hand and asked.

"Oh, it's not research, it's just kind. Wu Ziyu told the truth. Perhaps because of the integration of essence blood amber, Wu Ziyu's knowledge and vision have improved a lot. Although Tang Bohu is very famous, this person in the essence blood amber does not seem to be bad. Whether it is talent or study, he is not weaker than Tang Bohu.

"I'll look at your book. Wu Ziyu didn't wait for Ren Ruoxi to agree, so he took the book "Tang Yin's Indulgent Landscape" and read it.

Ren Ruoxi didn't speak, just quietly watched Wu Ziyu look at this book introducing Tang Bohu's paintings.

The reason why she didn't speak was to see how talented Wu Ziyu was and whether she could say something different. Unexpectedly, Wu Ziyu simply flipped through the pages and did not watch them in depth, which made Ren Ruoxi a little disappointed.

It seems that this man, like ordinary men, is an embroidered pillow with nothing in his stomach. Although this idea came to her heart, Ren Ruoxi still didn't want to save people who were judged by their appearance.

"I don't know what you think of this scroll of "Listening to Bamboo in the Void Pavilion"?" Ren Ruoxi happened to turn the title page of this famous painting of Tang Bohu, looked at Wu Ziyu, and asked.

This "Void Pavilion Listening to Bamboo Map" scenery is plain and clear, the near scene is prominent, the distant view is brief, the pen is strong but the ink is like gold, a few brushstrokes, the distant mountains, the bamboo sea, leaping on the paper, showing the subtlety of the pen, showing the wonderful artistic conception of the breeze blowing the bamboo sea, this is Tang Yin's masterpiece before his death. ”

Hearing Wu Ziyu's appreciation of Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting, Ren Ruoxi nodded secretly, he was still not quite the same as those embroidered pillows, and he had some research on calligraphy and painting. However, his final affirmative tone made Ren Ruoxi a little unconvinced. Although Ren Ruoxi's impression of him is not bad, art is objective and cannot be presumptuously determined.

Ren Ruoxi is an art major, and has studied a lot of some famous calligraphers and painters, and during this time, he specialized in Tang Bohu's works, and has some experience in Tang Bohu's works. However, due to the characteristics of Tang Bohu's paintings, he rarely leaves labels such as the year on the paintings, so the dating of Tang Bohu's works has always been vague and questionable.

The distinction between his early, middle and late works has long been a point of debate among calligraphers, painters and historians.

Wu Ziyu said with such certainty that even the masters of the major painting and calligraphy academies in Beijing and Taipei were not so sure, and at most they could only judge that it could be a work from a certain period of time in the middle or late Tang Bohu.

As for the dating of this scroll of "Listening to Bamboo in the Void Pavilion", whether it is the work of the middle or late Tang Bohu, there is still a debate in the industry until now.

But Wu Ziyu only glanced at it for a few moments, and pointed out that this work was Tang Bohu's work before his death, which couldn't help but make Ren Ruoxi feel that this person was not too modest.

"Oh, how can you see that this is Tang Bohu's late deathbed work?" Ren Ruoxi asked not to be outdone.

Wu Ziyu said in his heart, if you want to ask how you can see it, I really can't say. Can you say that this painting was originally given by Tang Bohu to the person with the essence blood amber in his body, and it has been hanging in his house for five or six years? This is too incredible.

I think that Tang Bohu was bought by Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and served under the command of King Ning, and he was under the command of his mentor Yangminggong, and later King Ning rebelled, he followed his mentor to pacify the rebellion of King Ning, met Tang Bohu by chance, appreciated Tang Bohu's talent, and took the opportunity to give Tang Bohu a plan to make him pretend to be crazy, so that he was able to get out of the rebels of King Ning and avoid the death of King Ning after the defeat.

Tang Bohu was inexplicably grateful for his life-saving grace, so he became a year-old friend with himself. He also often gifted his paintings to himself. Tang Bohu's works are praised even by his mentor Yang Minggong.

This "Listening to the Bamboo in the Void Pavilion" was given to him by Tang Bohu before his death, saying that it was: sit in the small pavilion, listen to the sound of bamboo, and read the world.

Later, in the second year of Jiajing, Tang Bohu died, and five years later, his mentor Yang Minggong died. Tang Bohu gave several works to his teacher, and the teacher also gave them to himself before his death, so Wu Ziyu is no stranger to Tang Bohu's works, and can even be said to be very familiar.

However, when he entered the Tao and cultivated the truth, he did not know where these treasured paintings had gone. Anyway, looking at it now, it shouldn't have been lost, otherwise it wouldn't have appeared in this album. Wu Ziyu saw the note under the title page of the painting: This work is now in the Liaoning Provincial Museum.

Although this is the case, Wu Ziyu can't say that, because he also knows how incredible his experience is.

"This, Brother Bohu's works I have also studied, his early landscape works learned from Shen Zhou, the fine brushstrokes and the strange iron stone shapes, all of which are influenced by the Wumen school. Later, he learned from Zhou Chen, and made the mountain stone a light color with a long water, which has formed its unique characteristics.

In his mid-period works, the painting method gradually departed from Zhou Chen, and integrated the brush and ink of the Yuan people, presenting a fine brush stroke. At this time, Brother Bohu's works have been completed, the painting method has been both north and south, the grand panoramic layout, the simple brush, especially the long and short cuts, rich in changes, the axe splitting is also occasionally covered with linen, messy firewood, whimsical, easy to come, unrestrained.

In his later years, his works tended to be ethereal, emphasizing artistic conception, with a few brushstrokes, landscapes, figures, and rhymes. On the whole, this "Listening to Bamboo in the Void Pavilion" is more important than the artistic conception, and it is obviously his later work. ”

The person who condensed the essence blood amber was born in a third-class jinshi, explored flowers in high school, and also studied calligraphy and painting. And the brother Bohu he said was very natural, thinking that back then, he saved Tang Yin's life, and Tang Yin was commensurate with him as a brother.

Originally, Ren Ruoxi also noticed Wu Ziyu's name for Tang Bohu, and was still a little surprised, but as Wu Ziyu explained the characteristics of Tang Bohu's painting style, Ren Ruoxi was already dumbfounded, and Wu Ziyu had already been impressed. You must know that there are various methods in calligraphy and painting, and it is difficult to say one, two, or three if you are not an insider.

If Ren Ruoxi casually cut off Wu Ziyu's works that even experts can't judge, and he looked down on him a little, now listening to Wu Ziyu's familiarity with Tang Bohu's paintings, let Ren Ruoxi admire the five bodies to the ground.

She didn't expect to meet a young man in simple clothes in the library, who had such a deep study of a generation of calligraphy and painting master Tang Bohu, which was really unseemly.

I'm afraid that those experts who specialize in Tang Bohu don't have such a deep understanding of this young man!
