Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 543
"Your Majesty, don't move. Show a majestic look!"

"That's right... that's it. Your Majesty, you should have a calm and prestige in your eyes..."

Zhen Jiang, who was painting, saw Qing Ji restless on the throne, angry and funny, and couldn't help but moaned coquettishly.

"cough!"

Qing Ji coughed lightly, and then continued to straighten his posture, putting on a majestic posture, his whole body was filled with a kind of kingly air!
The aura of domineering!

To be honest, when getting along with his concubines, Qingji will not restrain himself too much, he must put on an air of not getting angry.

However, Zhen Jiang was painting, and this portrait of Qingji is likely to be handed down to future generations.

Qingji can't be careless!
After a long time, Zhen Jiang finally nodded and stretched out her slender hand, indicating that Qingji can move around freely.

After that, Zhen Jiang began to embellish and outline on the silk paper with a brush on her own.

Relying on memory alone, Zhen Jiang had to use imagination to draw Qingji's general appearance, or a lifelike one, which was basically impossible.

Therefore, this requires Qingji not to move around and act as her "model".

There were no cameras in ancient times. To preserve the appearance of the emperor so that future generations can see it, it can be passed on to future generations through paintings.

Yan Liben, a well-known painter in the Tang Dynasty, had works such as "Portrait of Emperors of Past Dynasties", which was handed down to later generations.

It's a pity that the descendants of future generations are not up to date, and they are exiled in the hands of foreign barbarians...

However, Yan Liben's "Portraits of Emperors of Past Dynasties" is not a "photo album", but a painting based on imagination and some emperors' deeds.

Qingji's portrait is different.

"My lord, take a look, how about this portrait of my concubine?"

After finishing her work, Zhenjiang handed the silk painting to Qingji for review.

Qingji took his own portrait, glanced at it, nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, not bad. But, Zhen'er, don't you think the widow in this portrait looks too mighty? The widow's face isn't that big, is it? "

Qingji is somewhat skeptical about life.

His good looks are beyond doubt.

As a royal family of the Wu Kingdom, Qingji's appearance and body shape are all impeccable, a piece of old fresh meat.

However, Qing Ji in Zhen Jiang's portrait has wide ears, a strong body, and looks fat. The beard is also unusually long, and it can be called a beautiful beard...

The appearance is still clear, and it can be recognized as Qingji.

It's just that this appearance is quite different from the real Qingji...

"Cluck cluck cluck."

Zhen Jiang let out a burst of laughter that was as clear as a silver bell, covered her mouth and said with a light smile: "My lord, this is a beautiful appearance. Only such a king looks mighty and extraordinary, with the air of an emperor!"

Hearing this, Qingji stroked his short beard, and said intriguingly, "Don't tell me you don't have the air of an emperor like this?"

"Your Majesty does have the aura of an emperor, but with the pen of my concubine, this painting shows the aura of an emperor even more!"

Zhen Jiang, this is all for the sake of celebrating Ji Ji.

realistic?

photo?

No, no.

Zhen Jiang's painting ability is beyond doubt.

Qingji in her works has a neat style of painting, dignified and powerful iron lines, thick colors and the use of smudges.

It outlines a heroic, upright, domineering emperor!
The queen Ji Pai on the side glanced at the portrait, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine looks very good."

"Your Majesty does not lack the aura of a king, but in this portrait, the aura of a king must be vividly expressed on paper!"

"good."

Qingji nodded in agreement.

What Zhenjiang used was not the "Spring and Autumn Brushwork", but it could also reflect Qingji's real appearance, and it only brought out Qingji's imperial aura.

"Sister Zhenjiang..."

Nanzi immediately pulled Zhenjiang aside in a daze, and muttered: "Sister, can you draw some beautiful pictures for my sister and the king?"

"Beautiful pictures?"

Zhen Jiang froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister Nanzi, didn't I draw a portrait of you?"

"Not the same, not the same."

Nanzi moved closer to Zhenjiang's ear and muttered for a while.

Hearing this, Zhen Jiang couldn't help but spit, her face was stained with a blush, like the rays of light in the sky.

Zhen Jiang stomped her feet and said in shame, "Sister, don't you think this is too shameful?"

"Shame? No and no."

Nanzi's aunt smiled, grabbed Zhenjiang's soft and boneless jade hand, and said, "Sister, this is the joy of the boudoir."

"If the king is not around, you and I can refer to it so that..."

"Stop it. Shame!"

Zhen Jiang still had an expression of resistance on her face, the roots of her ears were already so red that they were limp.

Qingji is well aware of the relationship between Nanzi and Zhenjiang.

Lala, just lala.

As long as they don't cuckold Qingji, they can do whatever they want!
Men and women are not allowed, and female and female celebrations are acceptable.

Draw that kind of "beautiful picture"?

Not bad.

However, it cannot be passed on to future generations...

Otherwise, Qingji might be embarrassing!
Holding the portrait in his hand, Qingji looked at it carefully again, and he had a bold idea in his heart.

what idea?
Qingji intends to spread his portrait widely.

Every county must have a portrait of Qingji to brainwash...

good!
It's just that the painting of this portrait is very ingenious, and it is not something that ordinary people can draw.

This is not a future generation. Without printing technology, even if Qingji wanted to spread his portrait and deify himself, it would not work.

Typography!
Correct!
Typography!
Qingji finally remembered that printing could be invented at this time!
……

There were four great inventions in ancient China: gunpowder, printing, compass and papermaking.

Among them, papermaking and printing are widely used among the people, which is conducive to the spread of culture.

Printing is characterized by convenience, flexibility, time-saving, and labor-saving. It is a major breakthrough in ancient printing.

Before printing was invented, [-]% of Westerners were illiterate, and many of the nobles were also illiterate.

Because books in the Middle Ages were too expensive, it took a thousand pieces of lambskin to make a Bible.

Except for the tome of the Bible, the information copied in the books is very serious, mostly religious content, and almost no entertainment or daily practical information.

Before the invention of printing, the spread of culture mainly relied on hand-copied books.

Copying by hand is time-consuming and troublesome, and it is easy to make mistakes and omissions, which not only hinders the development of culture, but also brings undue losses to the spread of culture.

Seals and stone carvings provided direct empirical inspiration for printing, and the method of ink rubbing on stone tablets with paper directly pointed out the direction for woodblock printing.

The seal is actually a prototype of woodblock printing.

The seals of this era are all engraved in anti-style, and there are differences between Yin and Yang.

Before the appearance of paper, official documents or letters were written on bamboo slips.

After writing, tie it with a rope, put sticky mud at the ligature to seal the knot, and put the seal on the mud, which is called a mud seal.

A mud seal is to print on mud, which is a means of keeping secrets...
