Mountain Miscellaneous

Chapter 46

The blue waves are rippling with a touch of fragrance, and the tea is not intoxicating, and everyone is intoxicated.

Meng Yuncheng sniffed the fragrance of tea carefully, showing a very intoxicated expression.

Li Changqing drinks tea very casually, but Meng Yuncheng has received a complete tea ceremony education.

A cup of tea is divided into three sips, the first sip is to test the temperature of the tea, the second sip is to taste the tea aroma, and the third sip is to drink the tea.

Sipping the tea, the tea soup swirls in the mouth, and suddenly feels the fragrance in the mouth and nose.

The fragrance of the tip of the hair is mellow, and the freshness and sweetness of the green leaves are all in words.

Meng Yuncheng lightly tasted the water to feel the temperature, the mouth was warm but just right.

Then he took a second sip, and the strong tea aroma spread from the tongue coating to between the lips and teeth, filled the entire mouth and rushed straight to the forehead.

Meng Yuncheng couldn't hold it anymore, and drank the whole cup of tea like a cow drinking water.

As if bathed in the spring breeze, walking on the fields covered with green grass, the whole person feels refreshed.

"Good tea! Where did brother Li buy it, can you tell me?"

Meng Yuncheng had drunk a lot of tea, but there was nothing comparable to the one in front of him.

"Haha, the ordinary camellia I planted on the mountain!" Li Changqing pointed to a tea mountain road not far away.

Every time he went to Dongfeng Tea Plantation to deliver leeks to Lao Qin, Li Changqing would bring back a few tea trees, which already occupied a small hillside!

"Can the ordinary camellia that I grow on the mountain have this kind of fragrance?" Meng Yuncheng said in surprise.

"Maybe it's because of the better location!" Li Changqing said calmly.

"Brother Li, you are a doctor yourself, but you have extraordinary accomplishments in Chinese studies."

"I refused to go to the county to give lectures, but I am willing to be the principal of an elementary school in the mountains."

"It looks like an ordinary tea on the surface, but it has an extremely strong fragrance."

"It's like Brother Li, who has great abilities, but lives in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests."

Meng Yuncheng squinted his eyes to examine Li Changqing for a long time, and sighed suspiciously without seeing any clues.

"The Master said: "It is wise to come back. A basket of food and a ladle to drink. In the back alleys, people can't bear their worries, and they will not change their joys when they return."

"Just choose a way of life and do what you like to do."

Li Changqing knew Yan Hui very well, learned many advantages from him, and said to Meng Yuncheng.

"The Master said: If you are rich, you can ask for it. Even if you are a man with a whip, I will do it; if you can't ask for it, follow what I like."

"Brother Li is rich and honorable, why should he abandon it like a pair of shoes? Could it be that he is passively avoiding the world?"

Meng Yuncheng was not satisfied with Li Changqing's answer, and continued to ask tit for tat.

"There are birds on Zhongnan Mountain. They don't fly for three years and once they fly to the sky, they don't sing for three years and they make a blockbuster."

Li Changqing aspires to continue his unique learning for the sake of the past, how can he do it if he doesn't settle for a while, he said to Meng Yuncheng.

Next to the orchids under the bamboo forest, the two drank green tea and smelled the fragrance of flowers, and talked about the Tao by citing scriptures.

Li Changqing's unique understanding of "The Analects", "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" often makes Meng Yuncheng full of praise.

Meng Yuncheng's elaboration of ancient Confucian rituals also made up for Li Changqing's lack of background.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

Meng Yuncheng reluctantly left the cabin, and Li Changqing saw him off all the way to the back mountain.

Sending you thousands of miles, you have to say goodbye in the end.

"Brother Li stop, I will come to ask for advice often in the future, I hope it won't be annoying." Meng Yuncheng said.

"Hehe, welcome!"

Li Changqing smiled, tasting tea and discussing Taoism is also an elegant thing.

After a night of wind and rain, Li Changqing fed the two weasel cubs and put them in his room.

Begin to try to read the "Mencius" chapter of the Four Books, which is a book in which Mencius's disciples record their words and deeds.

"The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the harmony of people."

"A city within three miles, a country within seven miles, you can't win if you attack it around you."

"To attack the Husband's ring, one must have the virtue and the right time; but the invincible is because the right time is not as good as the right place."

"The city is not too high, the pond is not too deep, the soldiers are not not strong and sharp, and the rice and millet are not too much."

"Leave it alone, because the location is not as good as the people."

The weather and season that are conducive to combat are not as favorable as the geographical situation that is conducive to combat, nor as favorable as the people's aspiration and internal unity in combat.the inner city with a radius of Three Li and the outer city with a radius of seven Li are surrounded and attacked, but they can't win.Surrounding and attacking it must be the favorable conditions of the weather and season.This way we can't win, because the weather and season that are good for fighting are not as good as the geographical situation that is good for fighting.

There are some chapters in it that Li Changqing learned when he was a child, but now he reads them with more profound meaning.

The wind stops and the rain stops, and the sun rises.

Li Changqing packed the leeks in a bag and went to Lijia'ao Primary School.

Even if it is a Saturday break, students still have to come to school to go back after finishing their morning reading.

"Brother Li, good morning!" Meng Yuncheng took the initiative to greet Li Changqing.

"Brother Meng, good morning! Where is Teacher Shen going?" Li Changqing asked seeing that Shen Ruolin was not there.

"The teacher majoring in Lumei painting brought the students to sketch, and Mr. Shen went to Lingxia to pick them up." Meng Yuncheng said.

"Do you major in Chinese painting?"

Li Changqing and Meng Yuncheng tasted the sweetness of tasting tea and discussing Taoism, thinking that they could communicate with the teachers of Luyuan at that time.

"Brother Li, do you still know Chinese painting?" Meng Yuncheng asked.

"Know a thing or two." Li Changqing said indifferently.

In fact, Li Changqing used hundreds of brushes by the inkstone washing pool, and his Chinese painting attainments have been perfected.

From copying to sketching in Chinese painting, copying is mainly based on lines, which is the outline of Chinese painting.

It is very important to choose the object to be copied, otherwise it is easy to go astray. Generally, sketch manuscripts and paintings with clear lines and bones are selected.

There are so many manuscripts of famous masters in the past dynasties in the bamboo forest, Li Changqing chose Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" as a copy.

Huang Gongwang's other book "Writing Landscape Jue" expounds on painting principles, painting methods, layout, artistic conception, etc.

It is also of great help to Li Changqing to talk about the experience of landscape painting.

Sketching is a particularly important stage, which may accompany a lifetime.

It mainly extracts and summarizes the ecological part of the image, rather than copying the whole picture one by one.

The two characters of sketching, one for a lifetime, must grasp the vital part, not only must have ecology, but also must have aura.

The natural objects in nature, such as plants and trees, and mountain fortresses, all have life.

It is full of vitality, wonderful and interesting, and shows the spirit.

There must be a choice, those who have more will give up, and those who are not enough will make up for it.

Sketching is not only about imitating nature and training skills, but also about spiritual perception.

We should melt into nature with our own body, experience nature, feel nature, and understand nature.

Things and me are one, and I sketch nature with my heart.

As the so-called generation of mountains and rivers is concerned, life is everywhere.

When Li Changqing painted "Clouds Dwelling, Bamboos, Trees, and Orchids Manning the Mountain" yesterday, he learned the majesty of the mountain form from Zhong Nanshan.

It can be said that in the field of Chinese landscape painting, Li Changqing has reached a very high level.

But Li Changqing just practiced hard on his own and never communicated with the outside world, so he still doesn't know his own level.

"The ability to form a thick layer of cocoon on the ring finger of the right hand should be caused by long-term use of brushes. It can be seen that Brother Li's hard work is so deep that he must not know a thing or two."

Meng Yuncheng keenly noticed the details of Li Changqing's right hand, and spoke very confidently.
