God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1096 Eight Points Book

To be honest, although Xu Jingxing didn't want to be Yang Shouyun's master, he had to admire this man's understanding and self-cultivation.

Why?

Because Yang Shouyun was able to touch the edge of practice with only his calligraphy attainments without the guidance of his master. This is a very remarkable achievement. One step further, Yang Shouyun should be able to create calligraphy that condenses the true nature Works, and this achievement is rare in the entire history of calligraphy, at least judging from Xu Jingxing's own vision, it should not be many.

Maybe Yang Shouyun is not top-notch when it comes to simply talking about calligraphy techniques, but the state of mind, if you understand it, you understand it, and if you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it.

On the contrary, some calligraphers have a very high level of calligraphy, even in terms of technique, they can be said to be very high, but they can't grasp the mysterious and mysterious existence of the truth, in the eyes of people like Xu Jingxing, it is always just a beautiful shell.

And once Yang Shouyun breaks through, the work award will become a real masterpiece, and each piece can bring people different feelings and experiences, which is simply impossible for ordinary calligraphers.

It's a pity that he really doesn't want too many people to know about his practice, so he can only regard this skill he has already mastered as the "realm" in the mouth of ordinary people.

It was very pleasant to communicate with Yang Shouyun, especially in terms of calligraphy. I don’t talk about anything else, only simple calligraphy techniques. Yang Shouyun is indeed second to none in China. He is proficient in regular script, running script, official script and seal script. People call Yang Shouyun by nicknames like "Little Zhang Xu", which shows his level.

Of course, Yang Shouyun was happier, holding the painting "The Life of the Turtle" just written by Xu Jingxing as if he had found a treasure, wishing he could swallow that painting.

But I don't blame Yang Shouyun for making such a fuss, it's because the writing of "Gui Shushou" is really up to standard.

When writing, Xu Jingxing didn't choose the paper or the brush, just took a Chinese regular script rabbit brush and started. The brushwork he used was very basic Han Li, but it wasn't as elegant and colorful as "Cao Quanbei". The Jinli, but the more primitive Bafenshu.

According to textual research, Hanli is divided into three forms in total. The initial stage is Guli, followed by Hanli, and finally Bafen.

Ancient official script is a stage in the process of transformation from seal script to official script. The style is relatively simple and simple. At first glance, it looks like Xiaozhuan, but the font structure and strokes are relatively mature. It is no longer the same thickness and uniform lines as Xiaozhuan. Instead, it has developed angular strokes such as horizontal and vertical strokes, strokes, strokes, etc., and even the structure has been greatly simplified. At least for modern people, there is no pressure at all to understand and read ancient official scriptures.

The Hanli is a relatively mature official script, with a more complete font structure and more graceful strokes. "Cao Quanbei" is a typical example of this stage, and the graceful posture like the head of a silkworm and the tail of a wild goose is unique to the Hanli.

As for Bafen, also known as Bafenshu or Fenli, it is a font that combines seal script and official script. To be precise, it is Bafen official script and two-fen seal script. Han and Lishu were commonly used in the fonts of that era. To put it bluntly, the difference between Bafenshu and Lishu is like the difference between traditional and simplified characters. In that era, Bafenshu was the traditional Chinese character at that time, while Lishu It was the simplified Chinese characters at that time, therefore, Bafenshu was still the official font at that time.

It is said that Cai Yong is a master of Bafenshu, but there are few handwritings handed down, which also makes people's research on Bafenshu less conclusive evidence and materials, making the current calligraphers recognize Bafenshu. The knowledge is very vague, and different calligraphers and scholars have different cognitive standards for Bafenshu, and even the official does not have a definite statement.

But Xu Jingxing used the eight-point book, and his research on the eight-point book is definitely not as good as those experts and scholars, but he can write such a character with eight-point writing at his fingertips.

The structure of a character is rigorous, the strokes are ancient and clumsy, and it has a touch of gold and stone. If you don't know, you may think it was carved from a stone tablet of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, the author of this poem, Cao Cao, was from the Han Dynasty, and the content is also very Han style, so it is especially matched with the ancient and clumsy eight-point book, and it feels very good to look at it together.

The most important thing is that the physical properties of this painting are still very strong, and it is almost condensed into its true nature. When you taste it carefully, you can vaguely feel the breath coming from each stroke, um, in Yang Shouyun's words It is "artistic conception", but to be more precise, it is the sense of picture. Looking at this picture, one can vaguely see the author Cao Cao's spirit of turbulent military life, as well as the infinite emotion when he looks back at the age of fifty.

This kind of strong sense of picture is not something that can be found in all works. To put it bluntly, many painters' paintings cannot draw such a sense of picture, let alone such a mere word.

It is no wonder that Yang Shouyun was so surprised by using words to create a picture that is stronger than painting.

You must know that this kind of picture feeling is not a conventional picture that is only visual, but directly affects the brain or even the level of reality. If you are not focused enough, or your awareness is not sharp enough, you will not be aware of this picture feeling. It exists, no matter how transparent others explain it to you, it is useless. If you don’t notice it, you won’t notice it. It’s so magical.

Of course, magic is for ordinary people, it's nothing to Xu Jingxing.

But a piece of calligraphy that is nothing to him is the best calligraphy in the eyes of a great calligrapher like Yang Shouyun. Yang Shouyun looked at it carefully for a long time and was reluctant to let it go. At the end, he asked with a sneer: "Jing Xing Ah, this word, how about giving it to me?" While talking, he was afraid that Xu Jingxing would disagree, so he hurriedly added: "I'll exchange Dong Qichang's fan for you."

Xu Jingxing said dumbfoundedly: "You are so generous, you are willing to exchange Dong Qichang's fan for my words, but even if you are willing, I dare not agree. If it spreads out, others will think that you have been cheated by me. Moreover, this is also true. It flatters me too much, putting a junior like me on the same level as Dong Qichang really makes me panic."

"Don't worry, I'll just keep it to myself and appreciate it. I will never show it off, and even if I show it off, I won't tell them the truth," Yang Shouyun said with a smile on his face.

Xu Jingxing scratched his head, "You're too polite, it's just such a picture, you can keep it if you like it, don't say anything about changing it, if you are really sorry, you can open my eyes and see Dong Qichang's fan , To be honest, I haven’t seen many famous calligraphy and paintings with my own eyes, and although I have the name of a researcher in the Capital Old Academy, I have never had the opportunity to go inside.”

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Yang Shouyun quickly took out a photo frame made of rosewood from the bookcase next to the wall, and an unfolded fan was embedded in the square photo frame.

Because of the structure of the fan, it is actually not easy to preserve. Opening and closing will cause some damage to the fan surface. Generally, the paper fan surface cannot be stored for a long time, especially the kind of fan that is often played with, which is easy to break.Therefore, for fans, the best way to preserve them is to display them motionless after they are opened or closed, and to open and close as lightly as possible.

However, for ancient fans, it is easy to cause damage even if they are lightly opened and closed. Therefore, after collecting damaged ancient fans, many players will remove the fan surface from the fan bone, re-mount it, and make it into a mirror heart or calligraphy and painting. Scroll, which can greatly increase the storage time of the fan.

However, for those who like to play with fans, this kind of fan with only the fan surface and no fan bone is a very serious defective product. A fan is a fan. How can you teach a fan with only the fan surface and no fan bone?Moreover, the fan bone does not seem to have any artistic content, but it is the skeleton of the fan. There is only the fan surface but no fan bone, just like a beautiful woman who has lost her character has become a vulgar fan.

Of course, that is the case, but for antiques, most of the incompleteness is more about the helplessness of the passage of time. There is no need to painstakingly remove the skeleton of the fan.

As for the fan in the photo frame, it should not be written by Yang Shouyun. Yang Shouyun is also an interrogator. Normally, he would not do such a shameless thing. Even if the fan really needs to be preserved in other ways, it can only It will do better, and it is the most common and vulgar way to put it in a photo frame.

Sure enough, Xu Jingxing only glanced at the photo frame twice, and said, "Small-leaf red sandalwood, it's luxurious enough", and then Yang Shouyun smiled wryly, "There's no way to post it, it's just like this when I collected it."

Xu Jingxing also struggled with the photo frame, and asked casually, "You collected it yourself?"

"Well, it cost me 1 yuan to collect it from Panjiayuan."

"It's okay, let's not talk about whether the fan is real or not, this photo frame can almost pay for itself," Xu Jingxing said with a smile.

But Yang Shouyun heard the implication, and was startled: "You mean, there is something wrong with this fan?"

Xu Jingxing waved his hand: "If there is any problem, I have to take a look first," he said, taking the photo frame carefully and examining it carefully.

In fact, you don’t need to look at him to know that this fan is definitely not Dong Qichang’s, because the aura in this fan is really thin, and it’s not like Dong Qichang’s handwriting at all. You must know that Dong Qichang lived from Wanli to Chongzhen, and he was a standard Ming Dynasty. , It has a history of nearly 500 years. If Dong Qichang really wrote it, after such a long period of precipitation, there must be a lot of aura in it, definitely not a little bit.

Therefore, just by looking at the aura, he knew there was something wrong with the fan, but it was difficult to say it directly. It was a genius to be better than ordinary people, but if he behaved too monstrously, he would be truly monstrous.

Before outsiders, he still had to keep a low profile.

Moreover, he had to find a flaw in the painting to convince Yang Shouyun. He couldn't just use aura as an excuse, could he?
