Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 357
Wang Yiyuan smiled and said, let me think about it for a while and understand it.Xiao Xiaoxiao quickly took off the written paper and replaced it with a new piece of rice paper.

After brewing for a while with his eyes closed, Wang Yiyuan's heart became more peaceful and smooth, and he seemed to have found some of the feeling he had when writing before.He opened his eyes, dipped his pen and ink, and a few large characters of the second couplet came alive on the paper.

Grandpa began to comment. The font structure of these words is dangerous in the flatness and dynamic in the static. The combination of stippling radicals is ingenious, the overall style is unified, and the layout is reasonable. It seems to have some elegant atmosphere and style. .

He said, especially for the four characters of "happiness and peace", the stippling lines on the strokes are closely connected to form a small space layout, and the echoes and exchanges between the stippling and painting form a harmonious relationship, which contains the beauty of some Chinese characters.

Everyone agreed that it was well written, especially Xiaoxiao's mother, who breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and finally felt relieved.She thought to herself, oh, this little Wang has finally been fooled, otherwise, her grandpa's test would be really difficult.

Grandpa said again, however, there are also a few characters, such as the two consecutive "Xi" characters, which are suspected of being old-fashioned. Although the lines are smooth, they are not round enough, and even a little trembling and exaggerated.There is also this "live" character, and there are also a few dry and dry brushes.

The aunt smiled and said, this is what we usually say that the skill is not enough.The anger in Xiao Wang's heart was a little too much, and it was literally a little underwhelming, showing such a clumsy pen that shouldn't be there.

Wang Yiyuan smiled awkwardly, I haven't written for a long time, and I feel that the strength of this wrist is not as good as before, and it even trembles slightly.

Xiao Xiaoxiao sneered, it's not because there are so many onlookers today, are you timid?
Everyone laughed.

Grandpa thought for a while and said, for a successful calligraphy work, brushwork and calligraphy are the main elements, which are the basis of calligraphy beauty, but the beauty of strokes alone cannot directly constitute the beauty of calligraphy. The calligraphy styles of "Yu, Ou, Chu, Liu, Yan" and "Su, Huang, Mi, Cai" are also mainly due to the different calligraphy lines formed by the different brushwork of each person.

He said, judging from the words written by Xiao Wang, you need to continue to strengthen your understanding and proficiency in the structure of fonts.

The aunt said that it is difficult to use a pen to form characters, and the most important thing is to gather and disperse vertically and horizontally.When writing, the most important thing is where each stroke should be placed and how the strokes of each character should be structured.

Grandpa smiled and said, the truth is actually very simple.No matter how beautiful the strokes are, they can only be "icing on the cake" if they are attached to a reasonable "skeleton".If the structure is already "abnormal", even if the brushwork of Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing is used, the characters cannot be combined into a beautiful shape.

Xiao Xiaoxiao put on another piece of rice paper, and said, there are four words written horizontally.Wang Yiyuan, please hurry up and write, we still have something to go out.

Wang Yiyuan nodded repeatedly to what his grandfather and aunt said, and said, let me think about it again, and try to see if I can make some progress in these four words.

"Four Seasons Chang'an" was finished writing four words, and my aunt took the lead in applauding.Grandpa read each word carefully, and said with a smile, the boy can be taught.After listening to the words just now, there is still obvious progress.

He said with a smile that calligraphy is a very elegant art, which lies in its own cultivation and perception of the beauty of things.Chinese calligraphy is a unique traditional art of Chinese characters. It mainly completes the writing process of each character by observing and analyzing the shape characteristics of points, horizontal, vertical, left, right, and folded, writing methods, and formal effects. .

Xiao Xiaoxiao said mischievously, then, grandpa, you mean that Wang Yiyuan's calligraphy can basically pass the test.Well, that's good, we really have something to do, we have already made an appointment, so shall we leave first?

Grandpa smiled and said, hehe, the writing is not bad, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The second aunt smiled and said, Xiaoxiao, if you have something to do, go first, you young people have your young people's world.Hehe, let us take care of posting the couplets.

So Xiao Xiaoxiao took Wang Yiyuan and went downstairs first.Xiaoxiao's mother repeatedly urged, you two watch the time, and you must come back before the New Year's Eve dinner.Xiao Xiaoxiao agreed loudly.

In the study, the aunt asked, Dad, do you still appreciate Xiao Wang's handwriting?
Grandpa pondered for a while, but said, books are like you, like your learning, like your talents, like your ambitions, in short, just like your own person.We often say "writing is like a person", the so-called writing is like a person, in fact, it is to know a person's character from the handwriting.

The second aunt said that many scholars in ancient my country and Western European countries have long studied the relationship between handwriting and psychology. The saying that "writing is like a person" refers to the relationship between a person's handwriting, personality and psychological state.In recent years, in some developed western countries, "graphology" has been recognized as a branch of psychology.

Grandpa said slowly, calligraphy is a kind of art.The level of any artistic achievement has nothing to do with character and virtue.Perhaps the most representative figures in history are Cai Jing, Qin Hui, and Yan Song. What they have in common is that they have poor character, good characters, and great officials.

The second aunt said, but a person's character can reveal a person's character at the initial stage.One thing is certain, a person who has no structure and is timid will definitely not be able to write grandiose words.It is also difficult for a nervous person to write neat words one stroke at a time.

She said that a person's words can reflect his character and psychological state.Rather than saying that people are writing with their hands, it is better to say that they are writing with their brains. A person's handwriting will reveal his subconscious, that is, his true personality and psychological state.

Grandpa smiled and said, well, it makes sense.Her second aunt is interested in this aspect and has read a lot of books. You continue to analyze it.

The second aunt thought for a while and said, the words written by Xiao Wang seem to have a rigorous structure but still have a pattern. That is to say, Xiao Wang has a strong logical thinking ability, a solid personality, considerate, and serious in his work. Cautious, strong sense of responsibility.

She said that it also shows that Xiao Wang has strong divergent thinking ability, broad thinking, warm and generous, outspoken, broad-minded, not fussy, and tolerant of others' faults, and often informal.

The eldest uncle interrupted and said, well, this little Wang, every time he picks up a pen and writes, he has to think about it. I think this young man is relatively calm.

The second aunt said that this also shows that he is not only quick in thinking, quick in action, high in efficiency, full of patience, and pays attention to accuracy in doing things, but also confirms step by step while proceeding, and will work very carefully and tirelessly.

Grandpa smiled and said that people with heavy strokes are generally more sensitive, more energetic, have their own opinions, be decisive in doing things, have perseverance and pioneering ability.

The second aunt said, there is another point. These characters are smooth and smooth without lack of edges and corners, which shows that Xiao Wang is gentle and kind, easy-going, seasoned and adaptable. It also shows that he is a person who can concentrate and control himself. A person with firm will and clear views, who is not often swayed by emotions and will not change his position easily.

Auntie thought for a while and asked, Dad, do you agree to Xiaoxiao and Xiaowang's marriage?
Grandpa smiled and said, hehe, Xiao Wang is a young man with a calm mind and a well-organized way of doing things.I think he is also in his 30s, so he should have experienced a lot.For the next arrangement, you can figure it out, her grandma and I have no objections.

Oh, by the way, I have one more small request.Grandpa coughed slightly, and said, Xiao Wang is in Zhenjiang these few days, let him come and practice calligraphy with me, an old man, and I can just teach him more by the way.
