Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1074 Li Fangying

"Using endorphins directly as a drug will also have such problems, but if the human body is allowed to produce them automatically and healthily, there will be no problem."

"But endorphins are analgesic and healing opioid peptides. Their effect is to inhibit pain transmission, produce pleasure, reduce stress, improve sleep, combat depression and anxiety, and enhance happiness and happiness."

"Therefore, in order for endorphins to be regulated normally, they need to experience some pain before they can be produced. Physical exercise is such a benign 'pain'."

"After experiencing muscle fiber tearing, hypoxia, accelerated heart rate and many other tortures, combined with massage, stretching, bathing and other relaxing activities, the happiness you can get will be more 'advanced' and 'empty' than smoking. It will also be replaced by a 'sense of achievement'."

"Sister Fang, why don't you listen to me and give it a try?"

"Elbow, tell me, is love dopamine or endorphins?" Su Fang looked ahead and asked quietly.

Ah, shouldn't this be a topic between best friends like you and Tang Qi?Why are you suddenly telling me this?

After thinking for a while, Zhou Zhi replied: "I seem to have heard a saying that love at first sight comes from dopamine, and lasting love comes from endorphins."

"The human body is inherently complex, so maybe they are all working together at all times. It's just that one dominates the occurrence of love, and the other makes you feel that despite experiencing all kinds of displeasure, in the end you still feel that you have not been let down and it is still worth it. .”

"Maybe it's all part of love."

Su Fang stopped talking. It wasn't until the car was about to get off the airport expressway that she was woken up by a red light. She couldn't help but become angry and said, "Did you want to ridicule me with those words you just said?!"

"I'm not a doctor!" Zhou Zhi quickly defended: "I'm just telling you what's written in the book. Besides, didn't you start this topic?!"

Su Fang thought about it and felt that it was right, but she felt something was wrong: "Stop the car!"

"What are you doing?" Zhou Zhi was a little confused: "Where are you going? Aren't you going back to the Peace Dove?"

"Would you like me to take some time to relax?! Stop the car!"

"It's okay to relax, how about I accompany you?" Seeing Su Fang glare again, Zhou Zhi quickly smiled and said, "Shall I find a place to stop and come back after you have finished relaxing?"

Su Fang suddenly lost her temper and put her feet down and put them on her shoes: "Forget it, let's go back."

"Ok?"

"I guess unless you want to break up, you will never be able to fall out of love in this life." Su Fang said with certainty: "It's just that dopamine secretion is not good. If there are no sequelae, there will be no passion."

"Sister Fang, does this count as a personal attack? What does secretion fail to do?"

"Hahaha, where did all this nonsense come from! Drive!" Su Fang felt that she had made a comeback and her mood improved.

The restoration of calligraphy and paintings is a matter that requires great patience. What Zhou Zhi is currently restoring is the "Picture of Plum Blossoms" painted by Li Fangying, one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.

The most famous among the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou are Zheng Banqiao, Huang Shen, and Jin Nong. Compared with these people, Li Fangying's reputation is slightly weaker.

But in terms of character, Li Fangying is even more admirable.In the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, Li Fangying went to Beijing with his father to report on his work. His father, Li Yuhong, was as famous as Tian Wenjing as a high-ranking official and a powerful official. When he was in charge of Tatai, more than 1000 people were imprisoned in less than half a year, and all of them died at Yongzheng's place. No.

During the audience, Emperor Yongzheng felt pity for Li Yuhong's old age and asked, "Do you have any son coming with you?" Li Yuhong said to him, "The fourth son, Fang Ying, is here with you." He asked, "What is your position, and can you win the official position?" He replied : "The birth member is Gan by nature and not suitable for office." Yongzheng smiled and said: "Those who have not learned how to raise children and then marry." He was summoned and specially asked to be appointed as the coastal county magistrate by Tian Wenjing, the governor of Hedong in charge of Henan and Shandong.

During his tenure, Li Fangying made meritorious service by opening a warehouse to provide disaster relief.After the disaster, he also wrote works such as "Discussions on Xiaoqing River", "Ministry of Ministries", and "Guide to Shandong Water Conservancy".Later, because he opposed the reclamation order of the new governor Wang Wenjun, he wrote a letter outright stating the abuses, which angered his superiors, and was dismissed from office and imprisoned. This is known as the "Lanshan Unjust Case" in history.Groups of farmers from Lanshan and Juzhou brought their own chicken, millet, rice and wine to visit Qingzhou Prison.The jailer was not allowed to see them, so the people threw the money, materials and food they brought into the high walls of the prison. The wine jars left behind blocked the prison door and corridors.

This injustice dragged on for three years.It wasn't until the first year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty that Qianlong investigated the matter of improper reclamation policies that disturbed the people, and Wang Shijun was dismissed, and he was rehabilitated.

During his tenure as the county magistrate of Hefei, there was another famine. Li Fangying made his own disaster relief measures. He was resented because he refused to "honor" his superiors. The prefect dismissed him from office on the groundless charge of "corruption and perversion of the law."

Li Fangying served as county magistrate for 20 years, and was trapped by the prefect three times. Therefore, he decided not to become an official again. He lamented: "In the two Han Dynasties, officials governed, and the prefects succeeded; in later generations, officials governed, and the prefects ruined it."

After he was dismissed from office, Li Fangying lived in the Xiang family's borrowed garden in Jinling. He called himself the owner of the borrowed garden. He often traveled to Yangzhou and sold his paintings to finance his food and clothing. He also often stamped his paintings with the seal "Exchange rice for a living" to laugh at himself.

During this period, he was very close to the great poet Yuan Mei and the seal engraver Shen Fengguo who lived in Nanjing. They often traveled together, and people at the time called it "the three immortals coming out of the cave".

Li Fangying is good at painting pine, bamboo, orchid, chrysanthemum, plum, miscellaneous flowers, insects and fish. He can also paint figures, landscapes, and is especially good at painting plum blossoms.

But what Li Fangying is most proud of in his paintings is the "wind". He often uses a bare pen to draw leaves, smearing them vertically and horizontally, focusing on depicting the plants he depicts. In the wind and rain, he thinks he has found something that his predecessors could not draw. Brushwork and artistic conception.

He proudly left a poem in his "Bamboo Pictures of Xiaoxiang Wind": "The history of painting has never been about style. I have succeeded in making great achievements in difficult situations. Please look at the scale of Xiaoxiang Bamboo, and you will be filled with jingdong and thousands of jade in the sky."

Before he died, he wrote his life's regrets on his coffin: "I don't regret my death, I cherish my hands!"

In terms of the level of calligraphy and poetry, Zhou Zhi actually preferred Li Fangying to Zheng Banqiao, who was sought after by everyone.

For example, in the current "Picture of Plum Blossoms", the title of the poem is "After ten days of smoke in the kitchen, the rice is gone, and the ancient plum blossoms will be soothed with a few strokes. A home-cooked meal with ice flowers and snow pistils, and the spring breeze will never leave you hungry."

Simply elegant to the extreme.

But these are not the reasons why Zhou Zhi prioritized the restoration of this painting. It is because this painting is a little weird.

Compared with the other paintings collected from the Yang family's old house, Li Fangying's "Picture of Plum Blossoms" is particularly damaged and has numerous cracks.

After Zhou Zhi unfolded it, he discovered the reason for this phenomenon in the painting - the base was too thick.

Of course, the paintings of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou are basically mounted by Nangong, and at least the first frame must be Nangong.

Logically speaking, Baguai's works should not be treated like this, with such poor construction techniques.

But it happened to appear, which made Zhou Zhi even more suspicious.

In order not to damage the heart of the painting, Zhou Zhi did not remove the frame as soon as it came up. Instead, he sprayed some warm water with a watering can to moisten the scroll and relax the broken and curled paper.

As soon as the scroll got wet, it immediately became smudged, which scared Zhou Zhi to the point of losing his mind.
