Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 19 Worry before the world and worry (for the leader of the alliance!)

Su Chen ran back to the direction of Liuhefang, thinking that he had not seen the Grand Canal, and was only two miles away from his home, so he ran over to take a look.

This canal has been excavated since the Sui Dynasty, and has a history of 300 years. The canal enters the river mouth, Jingkou gate, Huju bridge, etc., from north to south, passing through the ancient city of Runzhou. The prosperous scene of "[-] houses with lights flowing".

Runzhou is the key point between the north and the south, and it has the victory of mountains and rivers, and the beauty of Zhongling is not unrelated to this canal.

The dykes are built along the canal on both sides, with a buffered slope, and willows are also planted on both sides of the river dyke, which can prevent the water and soil flow around the river dyke and increase the flood resistance.

The river is turbulent and the water surface is 40 meters wide. Some boats and painting boats flow on the water surface. There are ships docked at the pier, loading and unloading materials. Trackers and laborers can be seen in the distance, constantly busy.

On the other side of Su Chen, which is the Dongcheng District of Runzhou, you can walk to the other side through the arch bridge across the river, without the trouble of taking a boat.

Suddenly, he saw the figure of a 60-year-old man standing near the willows by the riverside, holding a pen and drawing on a drawing board. Beside the figure, a middle-aged servant stood sideways, holding a Holding a wooden plate, there are some fine brushes and colored inks in it, and waits beside him.

Su Chen walked over, but since the master and servant were paying attention to painting, they didn't pay any attention to him.

A few steps behind the drawing board approaching the two of them, Su Chen stopped and looked at the works on the old man's drawing board with some curiosity.

The ink painting on the rice paper is almost finished. It depicts the distant scenery, undulating peaks and mountains, and vast rivers. The scenery is magnificent and magnificent.The Yedu fishing village between the mountains and rivers, the waterside pavilions, the thatched cottages, the attic houses, are well-proportioned, and the layout is clever.

I have to say that the painter's technique is refined, and the canals, boats, and pavilions are all painted in great detail. In the close-up, there is a wharf, and several figures in ragged clothes are carrying and unloading goods. One of them is an old man who is carrying it on his shoulders. Wearing a sack, facing the north of the canal, with a sad face, there seems to be endless worry and anguish.

"It seems that the flavor is not right..."

The old man who was painting was wearing a square scarf on his head and a small crown under the scarf. He was wearing a brown spacious Taoist robe with a ribbon around his waist. He was holding a pen and frowning. He was not satisfied with the painting. No problem.

"It's the demeanor that's wrong!" Su Chen said from behind.

"Who?" The painting old man and the servant beside him turned around in surprise when they heard someone talking behind him.

Su Chen felt a bit abrupt, clasped his fists and said, "I took the liberty of appearing here and disturbed the two of you, please forgive me!"

The brown-clothed old man had bright eyes. Although he was in his sixties, he had thick eyebrows and a beautiful beard.

While Su Chen was looking at him, the other party was also looking at him. He saw that he was a young man. Although he was wearing common clothes and shoes, his eyes were beautiful and he didn't look like a commoner of the lower classes.

"What do you think of this old man's painting?"

Su Chen took a step forward and said, "Xiaosheng only has a little understanding of painting, but Mr.'s painting skills are profound, his brushwork is meticulous and lifelike. Whether it is in the strokes, or in the use of ink and colors, he has the demeanor of everyone. What makes people feel inappropriate is the character's expression, which is a bit...a bit taken for granted."

"Oh, how do you say this?" The old man became interested, and what the other party said was exactly what he was puzzled about just now. The overall painting has approached maturity and perfection, but it made him feel dissatisfied. Depressed sigh.

Su Chen said: "Mr.'s brushwork is extremely skilled, which can be regarded as excellent. In terms of painting skills, there are not many flaws, at least it can't be picked out in the late life. However, the expression and movements of this character are somewhat wrong, or the scene is wrong. Like the old man in the painting!"

The old man in brown clothes asked suspiciously, "The old man I painted was originally a toiling public. He was still working hard at the wharf when he was young. He looked at the north of Jiangbei, and he was more worried about the situation in Jiangbei and the suffering of his compatriots in Jiangbei. What's wrong with this? "

Su Chen smiled and said: "Mr. is a talented man, he must have an extraordinary status, and he has an open-minded state of mind of 'the world's worries and worries, and the world's happiness and joy later', but all the people think the same as the master, and they also worry about the country and the country. People, this is a little unrealistic.”

The brown-clothed old man recited the phrase 'the world's worries and worries, and the world's joys and joys', his eyes lit up, such a good poem has never been heard before.

But what Su Chen said behind made him disagree. He stared at the young man and asked, "What do you mean, don't these ordinary people feel worried about the country?"

Su Chen said with a smile: "Although Your Excellency is old, but you have an extraordinary aura, you must be of noble birth, and you may have been an official in your life. It is not surprising that you have this kind of sentimentality of a scholar and an official who cares about the country and the people. However, Mr. Suffering, I didn't worry about eating three meals, so I didn't understand what the people at the bottom were thinking! Since the old man in the painting is still doing hard labor in his late sixties, his family must be poor, and he can't take care of three meals. Are they worried about the war in Jiangbei, the flooding of river dams, the pain of canal construction, etc?

The brown-clothed old man was stunned. It was the first time he heard these words. He wanted to refute the Confucian scholar's remarks, but he felt that there was no way to refute it.

In the past few decades, he has studied the scholar-official class, the official level, and the imperial court and temples. He has really never experienced the minds of the people at the bottom.

Su Chen's remarks suddenly made the brown-clothed old man intoxicated. There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind. After all these years, he finally realized that he seemed to be wrong in his starting point.

If he was given another chance, he felt that it was time for him to change his career path.

The brown-robed old man suddenly smiled: "You are right, Mencius sage once said that if you are rich, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone. The old man has not fulfilled his ambitions, so he put his worries and anguish in a man of the same age. On the old man. As everyone knows, the old man is different from his class and thinks differently. It is really ridiculous to let the people at the bottom worry about the country and the people, and have the same mood as me."

"Laifu, this painting is fucked up!" The brown-robed old man sighed, his interest waned, and the more he looked at this painting, the more dissatisfied he became.

"Wait a minute!" Su Chen stopped his servant Laifu from tearing up the painting, and persuaded the old man in brown, "It can be repaired!"

The brown-robed old man wondered, "How to remedy it?"

Su Chen took two steps forward and smiled, "Just change your expression."

"Change expressions?" The brown-clothed old man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, but at his level, it's just a painting, and he can paint again at will. He's in a bad mood, and there's no need to repair it.

Su Chen took the pen in the old man's hand, and added a few faint smile lines to the old man carrying the sack on the painting, and the whole person's mental outlook was suddenly different.

The brown-robed old man looked at him and nodded slightly. Although he felt that the painting was different, he was still melancholy.

Su Chen took a closer look there and found that the picture of the combination of the canal, the mountains and the ancient city has a larger blank area on the left, which affects the overall ratio, and said, "Just mention another poem."

The brown-robed old man was surprised. He thought to himself that this young man had an astonishing expression, and he was meticulous. He was a talented person. He thought about it carefully and said, "Why don't this young man put a poem on it and give it to this old man?"

Su Chen thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Yes!"

He took the pen and wrote a seven-character poem on the rice paper on the drawing board: "Even though the Sui Dynasty died on this river, it has depended on Tongbo for thousands of miles. If there is no dragon boat incident in the Water Palace, there will not be many contributions to the common Yu."

Su Chen wrote "Nostalgia for the Bian River" by Pi Rixiu in the Tang Dynasty, to the effect that the whole world said that the Sui Dynasty collapsed because of this river, but it is still flowing, so the boats in the north and south are unimpeded.If it weren't for the stupid things like repairing dragon boats and patrolling Jiangdu, Emperor Yang of Sui's merit alone would be comparable to that of Dayu's governance.

The old man in brown clothes has naturally read this poem, which is not surprising, but Su Chen's thin gold brushwork, the beauty of the sky, and the sense of fun, he has seen many famous calligraphy posts, but he has never seen it before. , at first sight, I quite like this font.

"Young master is talented, this old man admires him, I don't know what to call him?" The brown clothed old man had lowered his identity and asked very politely.

In this situation, Su Chen didn't have to hide his identity, and said truthfully, "Su Chen was born late, and lives in the nearby Liuhefang. May I ask what your surname is?"

The brown-clothed old man smiled slightly and said, "The old man's surname is Han, his name is Xizai, and his name is Uncle Yan. It's quite speculative to have a detailed discussion with Mr. Su today!"

"Han Xizai..." Su Chen felt a little turbulent in his heart, thinking what are you doing in Runzhou? You should go to Jinling to assist Empress Li!
