Chapter 171 A Brand New Font

There are grand plans for Academy Yueshan. In the beginning, they only built a dozen or so small houses because they had no money. Now that they have money, they naturally need to build a lot.

A large library is necessary, and another office building will be built next to the library for the working group of "Zhenguan Dictionary".

At the foot of Longshou Mountain, build at least [-] independent small courtyards, which are prepared for famous teachers and scholars.We can't let them live together with the faculty and staff, and we still have to have the respect they deserve.Some great Confucianists will take their families with them when they go out, and they must have an independent residence.

The classrooms for ordinary students are directly expanded to [-] rooms, regardless of whether it is useful or not, it has to be built first.The staff dormitory and student dormitory will also be expanded to ensure that each teacher has an independent single room and four students share one room.

The reason why students are not allowed to live in the Datong shop is for the convenience of management.Datong shop saves trouble, but when there are too many people, it will be complicated and unhygienic. It is more convenient to live separately.

As for whether the houses will be wasted... Anyway, there are a lot of free land here, and the cost of building a large number of houses is not high, and he can afford it.

Yue Shan went to build this academy to make a name for himself in history, so naturally he came here as well as he could.

The scale of the military academy is not too big, and it even needs to build additional training facilities. It is definitely a huge project to do it all.Naturally, Zhu Wuneng had no reason not to answer.

What's more, this academy is already registered in front of the saint, even if he doesn't make money, he will do it.

It was generally agreed that Yue Shan would get up and leave, and Zhu Wuneng immediately summoned people to design a construction plan according to Yue Shan's requirements.

Here, Yue Shan returned home directly after leaving. It is not the time to be idle, but he has not forgotten the errand that Li Shimin gave him, and wrote a copybook for Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi is a girl, so the Yue body he 'created' naturally cannot be used.But fortunately, in his previous life, he had copied many calligraphy masters' characters, and it was easy to find a font suitable for women's practice.

Zhao Mengfu, a famous calligrapher and painter in the Yuan Dynasty, is known as the crown of the Yuan people.He is good at seal script, official script, true script, running script and cursive script, and is especially famous for regular script and running script.His style of calligraphy is charming, elegant, well-organized, and skillful in brushwork, which is called Zhao Ti.

His calligraphy and Zanhua Xiaokai are listed as the most suitable calligraphy for women to practice.

That's right, that's it, Zhao Ti.

However, he hasn't practiced this font for too long, and it feels rusty. First, he found some waste paper and tried to write it for a while, and gradually found the feeling.

After all, he is a master of calligraphy who has passed the stage of "God", and copying other people's regular script is not much worse.

He did not write the Three Character Classic, but chose the Thousand Character Classic.Well, he won't tell others that the reason why he didn't write the Three Character Classic is because he can't memorize it.

I can't memorize a thousand-character text, but there are ready-made books, so I can just copy them.

Many people subconsciously think that the Three-Character Classic is better than the Thousand-Character Classic, but it is not.The advantage of the Three-Character Classic as an elementary school is that it is easy to understand, and the Thousand-Character Classic is the real masterpiece.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang ordered people to select a thousand non-repetitive Chinese characters from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works and compile them into a text.

Zhou Xingsi, the servant of Yuanwai Sanqi, was ordered to act. He called many famous teachers and scholars to study together, and finally determined a thousand characters.

Every four words of these thousand characters form a sentence, which requires the antithesis to be neat, clear, easy to recite and remember, and the key is to rhyme.

Because in ancient times there was an unwritten rule about no rhyme.

Writing an article with a thousand different words and rhyming it is an amazing maneuver.The key is to really let them make it-who said that you can't write a classic composition with a proposition?
So there is a thousand-character text.

The world is mysterious, the universe is prehistoric... This sentence has been spread too widely, and it has been borrowed by countless authors of fairy tale novels in later generations, and various meanings have been extended.

It took Yue Shan an hour and a half to finish writing a thousand characters.

I dried the ink and picked it up to check it again. I was very relieved.Although there is a big gap from Zhao Mengfu, it can be called an excellent copybook, and it is more than enough for Li Lizhi to copy.

He was about to leave after delivering the copybook to the palace the next day, but unfortunately he was caught by his eldest grandson Wugou, who said that since he was here, the teaching work would start today.

So he was forced to leave it to Li Lizhi to teach him how to write.

He taught very carefully, starting with how to wash and grind the brush, and then how to hold the brush and exert force... After a whole day, he just corrected these small mistakes, and didn't teach a few words at all.

This is a princess, she can't be beaten or scolded, don't mention how awkward she is.Just like this, when Yue Shan left, he could clearly feel that Li Lizhi looked at him as if he saw a piece of meat - wishing he could bite him into pieces.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't come to join in the fun, he didn't come to Lizheng Hall until Yue Shan left the palace for a long time.

"Guanyin maidservant, is Cuilan here? Show me the copybook." Li Shimin said impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

Changsun Wugou handed him the copybook helplessly, and said, "I really want to know how Cuilan practiced handwriting."

Li Shimin took a look, and showed a surprised expression again: "Another brand new font?"

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Yes, the style of writing in this font is simple and not ostentatious. It is very clear from the calligraphy style of today's calligraphy. Just because of this, it can be called a master's work."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Not only that, the appearance of this character is round and strong, and the structure is wide and graceful. The stippling and painting echo each other very closely. It looks soft on the outside but strong on the inside. The shape is elegant and the skeleton is strong."

"Yue Shan is a man's handwriting, which is inevitably too strong and powerful. If it is a woman's handwriting, it must be soft and beautiful. If it is well practiced, it may be no less than Mrs. Wei's hairpin lowercase."

The couple looked at each other and saw admiration and surprise in each other's eyes.If my daughter practiced this character well, wouldn't she be as famous as Mrs. Wei in history?

It was indeed the right choice for his daughter to marry him.This is such a big gift before you get married.

No, we must settle this matter quickly, so as not to be lent to Hu halfway.

After the two made up their minds, they turned their eyes back to the copybook again.

"This is the second brand-new typeface he produced, right? I'm getting more and more curious about the Three Emperors Book, what is written in it." Li Shimin said longingly.

Yue Shan said that the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man were written by the emperor Fuxi, the emperor Shennong and the man Huang Xuanyuan, and they are also called the Three Emperors Book.

"How can a saint be like this? Even if he, Yue Cuilan, has read the Three Emperors Book, he has not fallen into your trap." Changsun Wugou said.

"Haha... Avalokitesvara's maidservant is the best at comforting people. But Cui Lan's handwriting is really good. Especially Shi Sishu is better, and this is the only book in the world that cannot be copied, which is even more precious." Li Shimin laughed. .

"Oh? Why? Could it be that Cuilan has no way to write another book?" Changsun Wugou asked curiously.

"Impossible." Li Shimin said affirmatively: "Look at this copybook, the first half has only its shape but not its spirit, the middle part gradually has some charm, and the second half has both form and spirit."

"This shows that before writing this copybook, Yue Shan hadn't comprehended the essence of calligraphy. Halfway through the writing, he realized it, and gradually had the embryonic form of a god. In the second half of writing, he finally crossed the threshold."

"It can be said that this copybook records the whole process of a calligraphy master's enlightenment. Words can be rewritten, but this process cannot be repeated. So even Yue Shan himself cannot write a second copy of Shi Si Shu."

"That's why I said that this Ten Thoughts Book is a priceless treasure." Li Shimin said proudly.
