Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 356 Graffiti
Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled, walked over and hugged Grandpa's arm and said, Grandpa, you are making a surprise attack.Besides, I haven't seen Wang Yiyuan write any brush calligraphy for so many years. Even if he learned it a long time ago, it would have been abandoned long ago.

Grandma laughed and said, this silly boy, why is he still trying to help Xiao Wang speak.How can a person easily forget what he has learned since he was a child?The same is true for writing.

Xiao Xiaoxiao still said unrelentingly, Grandpa is an old teacher, he has this hobby of writing calligraphy, but it does not mean that we must also like calligraphy.Hmph, Grandpa can't demand too much from us juniors, can he?

Grandpa looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao, then at Wang Yiyuan, smiled slightly, and said, Mr. Guo Moruo once said that writing should meet the specifications, be more correct, clean, and easy to recognize. It is very good for a person to develop such a habit. .

He said that calligraphy can make people careful, easy to concentrate and considerate.If a person is careless, careless and arbitrary, it is easy to make mistakes, but practicing writing can gradually get rid of these problems.

Xiao Xiaoxiao still wanted to continue to evade, Wang Yiyuan smiled and said, haha, to be honest, there was indeed a course of calligraphy when I was in the teacher's college, and I also studied with the teacher.It's just that I haven't written with a brush for a long time now.

Grandpa stood up, took the cane from grandma, and said loudly, OK.As long as you can write, let's go to the study now.The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all ready, and I have already drawn up the Spring Festival couplets.

When Xiao Xiaoxiao heard this, he smiled and said, Grandpa, you came prepared and wanted to test Wang Yiyuan specially?

Grandma patted Xiao Xiaoxiao's head lightly, and said with a smile, silly boy, your grandpa is so bored writing alone. He heard that Xiao Wang was originally a teacher, and he had long wanted to write with him.

The second aunt said from the side, Xiaoxiao, what your grandpa thinks, this is called learning from each other.Hehe, the next thing is to see Xiao Wang's skills.

Xiao Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, looked at Wang Yiyuan, and asked worriedly, can you do it?If it doesn’t work, why don’t we go outside and buy some ready-made ones?

Grandpa laughed and said, to be a good teacher, or for a teacher, to write three characters well, brush, hard pen, chalk, these are the basic skills.

To be honest, Wang Yiyuan did have a special course for calligraphy when he was in the teacher's college, and he practiced a lot for it. He even got guidance from a full-time teacher, and his writing was not bad at that time.

It's just that after so many years, especially after coming to Shanghai, I have been running around for my livelihood every day, and basically have no free time, and my hands have long been a little rusty when writing.Calligraphy is different from others. It will take a lifetime to pick it up again, but it will not take a while.

Wang Yiyuan thought for a while and said, Grandpa must let me write it, but I have to agree in advance that if the writing doesn't catch your eyes later, you can't laugh at me too much.

Hearing that Wang Yiyuan wanted to write calligraphy, the eldest aunt, second aunt, eldest uncle, and second uncle were all very interested, saying that they must see Wang Yiyuan's calligraphy.

Xiaoxiao's mother was also very surprised, but she was worried that he could not write well, and she knew her grandfather's calligraphy skills, so she smoothed things over and said that her grandfather should do the writing.

But everyone is very curious about Wang Yiyuan's calligraphy, so naturally they don't want to let go of this opportunity.The second aunt said with a smile, Xiao Wang, this time it's up to you to write. Newcomers and new atmosphere, it doesn't matter if the writing is good or not.The key is this intention, as long as you write it with your heart.

A group of people crowded into the study.Grandpa's Spring Festival couplets, Shanglian: Happy days are comfortable and happy, and the courtyard is full of spring and spring.Second line: Beautiful life is happy, safe and happy.Horizontal batch: Four Seasons Chang'an.

Xiao Xiaoxiao skillfully took out a small stack of rice paper from the cabinet, and carefully folded it in half according to the number of words in the Spring Festival couplets.Then he took out one and spread it on the table, and carefully spread a layer of felt cloth underneath, and then pressed the upper left corner of the rice paper with a paperweight.

Wang Yiyuan asked Xiao Xiaoxiao to find a few more pieces of waste paper that were no longer needed, and to make a draft on it first, so as to make the unfamiliar hands a little more dexterous.

Wang Yiyuan wrote official script.He looked at the crowd of people surrounded by grandpa and the others, and laughed, then I'll make a fool of myself and start graffiti?

After writing the first half of a Spring Festival couplet, he felt dissatisfied, so he motioned to Xiao Xiaoxiao to remove the rice paper and prepare to rewrite it.

Grandpa looked at the written banner and commented from the side, um, the hands seemed a little rusty.But it is obvious that Xiao Wang, you should have practiced calligraphy before.

He said that the beauty of calligraphy lies in the use of brushes.The so-called those who are good at writing skills have many bones and those who are not good at writing skills have more flesh.The key to the quality of calligraphy works lies in the mastery of brush skills, which is also the basis for being able to write a good work.Xiao Wang, don't worry, calm down and write again.

Holding his breath, Wang Yiyuan solemnly dipped the brush in the ink, picked up the brush and paused for a while, and then rewrote the first couplet in one go like a dragon and a snake.

good.Grandpa applauded first, saying that the seal script is eloquent and smooth, the official script is precise and dense, the grass is expensive and smooth, and the rules and regulations are easy to check.That is to say, the seal script advocates tact and tact, while the official script needs to be exquisite and rigorous, the cursive is smooth and unrestrained, and the cursive should be simple and convenient.

The eldest uncle smiled and said, "Hehe, Xiao Wang, the few clerical scripts written by you are vivid on the paper, and they still have some flavor.

Wang Yiyuan stared at the written banner and remained silent for a long time.After a while, Xiao Xiaoxiao saw Wang Yiyuan nodding his head, took down the written paper, and replaced it with a new piece of rice paper.

After finishing the last stroke of the word "多" in the second couplet, Wang Yiyuan stopped writing and looked at the banner, then turned his gaze to Grandpa.

Grandpa looked at it carefully and said, the words you wrote, generally speaking, the lines are smooth and round, the dots and paintings come and go in a well-proportioned way, the beginning and end, the edges and corners are clear, the brushwork is clean and neat, and the explanation is quite clear.

Everyone didn't speak, listening to the old man continue to comment.

Grandpa said that we evaluate the quality of calligraphy works, or the level of level, usually in three aspects, one is brushwork, the other is stippling lines, and the third is structure.

He said that brushwork is the foundation of calligraphy.Brush writing does not need to be pushed down too hard, as long as the posture of holding the pen is maintained so that the tip of the brush touches the paper lightly, and the interaction between the tip of the paper and the tip of the brush can ensure the operation and flexibility of the tip of the brush.Xiao Wang's performance is obviously much better.
