Artists of the national tradition start from the puppet show

Chapter 43 Drunken Cursive Script, Zhang Xu Possessed (please collect, please recommend)
Xu Hao gave Lin Mu a cold look, and walked into his cubicle confidently.

Cursive!

Xu Hao has practiced cursive script for at least 20 years. Although he is not at the level of a famous artist, he can be regarded as one of the best in the Calligraphy Association.

So, this time, when people from the Calligraphy Association saw that Xu Hao chose cursive script, everyone felt contempt for him for a while.

Bullying young people is not like this!

Lin Mu is a young man in his early twenties, even in regular script, he has already written superbly, but cursive script, which takes more time to hone, cannot be accomplished quickly with talent alone!
Many people present did not believe that Lin Mu's cursive script could be as good as his regular script!
The host of this book fight is an old man from the calligraphy and painting circle, named Chen Beiwang, who is the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association.

This hale and hearty old man also attached great importance to this book fight. First, he told everyone about the rules of the book fight, and then put an hourglass on the table outside, announcing that the book fight had begun.

As the sand in the hourglass began to fall, everyone began to pad their feet through the translucent curtain to see what was going on inside.

Lin Mu stood in front of the table, closed his eyes, and calmed down the blood that had boiled up from the impassioned speech just now.

These days, Lin Mu can be considered aggrieved.

He was slandered for no reason, and it was extremely vicious. If he didn't see Xu Hao as an old man, Lin Mu would have planned to have a real PK with him!
However, as long as Xu Hao can win the book fight this time, then Xu Hao will be completely finished, and then the bad breath in his heart can be regarded as coming out!

[Special task: Win this highly-anticipated fight, and you can get rewards: 1. Yan Zhenqing's second level of calligraphy; 2. Tang Yin's figure painting techniques. (Choose one of the two rewards)]

Originally, Lin Mu was so excited when he saw that he could get two rewards, but when he saw the small words in brackets at the back, he was speechless!
Your system is also broken!

The second stage of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is Tang Yin's figure painting technique.

This is definitely a very difficult choice to make.

If you get the second level of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, then your calligraphy level can definitely reach No.1 today.

Tang Yin's figure painting techniques can develop Lin Mu's painting ability, and it is also a very attractive choice for him!

Forget it, let's forget about these, let's talk about it after winning this book fight!

To calm down his mind, Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes.

Lin Mu glanced at a middle-aged man standing in the cubicle acting as a referee, smiled calmly, took out a bottle of white wine from his bag, and asked with a smile, "Teacher, can I drink wine?" ?"

The middle-aged man was a little dazed by Lin Mu's operation, but after thinking about it for a while, he said calmly, "There is no rule that you are not allowed to drink alcohol!"

There is nothing prohibited by law.

Lin Mu nodded, and unscrewed the cap of the bottle of baijiu, a strong aroma of wine came out from the bottle.

Lin Mu licked his lips and smiled.

This is Lin Mu's trump card.

Lin Mu had practiced cursive script at home before, but he had never been able to find the frenzied beauty that he saw in Master Zhang Xu in his memory.

Until last night, Lin Mu's grandfather and father came to the capital.

Taking Lin Manshan with them, the four of them had a meal outside. During the dinner, Lin Mu accompanied the old man to drink a few glasses of wine.

After returning home, Lin Mu wrote a cursive script while drinking, and immediately found the wonderful feeling that Zhang Xu had at the beginning.

drunk!
You know, many calligraphers in ancient times, most of their masterpieces were created when they were half drunk and half awake!

The world's first running script "Orchid Pavilion Preface" was written by Wang Xizhi when he was drunk, and there are still many typos and traces of smears on it.

However, when Wang Xizhi woke up and wanted to transcribe this work again, he realized that he couldn't find the feeling he had at the beginning!
This is especially true for Zhang Xu, who loves drinking. According to legend, whenever Zhang Xu's inspiration comes, he spreads rice paper on the ground, uses a long-haired brush, and writes straight and cursive, just like singing while drunk, so free and easy.

That's why Lin Mu specially brought a bottle of white wine here today, hoping to let himself write the most perfect cursive script while half drunk and half awake!

Lin Mu drank about three or two taels of white wine, and felt that his eyes were a little blurred!
Lin Mu scooped up some water from the water bowl, poured it into the inkstone, picked up an ink stick next to it, and rubbed it on the inkstone for a while, only to see that the water in the inkstone turned into a bright black pool ink!
Lin Mu picked up the Langhao brush on the pen stand, rolled it lightly in the ink, and a large amount of ink was instantly absorbed into the tip of the brush.

As expected of the Calligraphy Association, the four treasures of the study can be said to be fine works.

Lin Mu tapped the brush on the edge of the inkstone, and scraped off the excess ink.

Lin Mu held the brush, looked at the rice paper that had been laid out, with a serious expression on his face, let out a light breath, and pressed the tip of the brush down heavily.

"Four Posts of Ancient Poems", the full name is "Four Ancient Poems in Cursive Script", which was written by Zhang Xu, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty. Currently, this calligraphy is hidden in a museum in Liao Province.

This calligraphy has 40 lines and 188 characters. There are four poems and essays recorded in total. The first two are the sixth and eighth of "Taoist Buxu Ci" written by Yu Xin in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The last two songs are "Praise of the Prince Jin" and "Praise of an Old Man Under the Rock, Four or Five Youths" by Xie Lingyun of the Southern Dynasty.

Although there is still some controversy as to whether this calligraphy was done by Zhang Xu, but in Lin Mu's previous memory, he had seen Yan Zhenqing and Zhang Xu study this calligraphy together, so it is certain that this calligraphy is indeed What Zhang Xu did.

However, no one believed Lin Mu's words!
Dongming Jiuzhi cover, north candle Wuyun car.

Floating into the inverted scene, haunting the haze.

The jade slips down from the spring spring, and the blue bird goes to Jinhua.

Emperor Han looked at the peach pit, and Marquis Qi asked about the thorn flower.

You should go to Shangyuan wine and visit Cai's house together.

Lin Mu has already mastered this calligraphy by heart. The thickness of the lines and the speed of stippling are all in his mind.

With a touch of drunkenness, Lin Mu showed a touch of wildness, the brush in his hand was constantly undulating on the rice paper, and the lines of cursive script that made ordinary people dizzy looking at them slowly appeared on the paper!

The middle-aged man who was the referee on the side had already been dumbfounded.

Although he is not an official member of the Calligraphy Association, he also has decades of calligraphy skills.

Originally, like many people, he was skeptical of Lin Mu's ability to write cursive script.

But now, he felt that in a trance, he seemed to see the "grass sage" Zhang Xu splashing ink in front of him.
