My alternative life

In calligraphy, Yan style refers to the regular script style created by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

To be honest, I'm not good at calligraphy, and I can't even tell the difference between regular script, running script, cursive script, and official script. But I love history, and I'm a professional in psychology.

I understand the history of the Tang Dynasty. I know more about Yan Zhenqing's life story than his attainments and contributions in calligraphy and literature.

Therefore, on the premise of "understanding history" and making full use of psychological speculation and logical deduction, I "guessed" in such a strange way that the style of the two characters in the forest of Steles belonged to the face style.

Strange, right? I think everyone who hears me say this will be just like the old man in front of me and the Qianjie around me. They are very curious about "this can also be guessed.".

I coughed, pretended to be in awe, and then I chuckled. I couldn't pretend to be an old man in the traditional sense.

I stopped being reserved and said in a voice, "master, qianmei, since I'm guessing, I'm definitely not 100% sure, with a certain gambling element, so before I explain, I want to know the answer of the old man!"

With a smile, I pointed to the forest of Steles, "if I guess wrong at all, it's meaningless to explain, isn't it? So I'd like to ask the old man to give me a message. Is that right

The old man had no ink this time, nodded and nodded, "that's right! Young man, you guessed it right. The two characters in the forest of Steles are exactly facial! That's why I'm surprised. If you don't know calligraphy, I don't believe it all by guessing... "

I quickly pointed to the sky and swore, "ah, old man, it's not kind of you. Oh, only those who know calligraphy know what the handwriting is? All roads lead to Rome, I can use my own professional skills to guess! You just don't know what I do. If you know, maybe you won't say such irresponsible and suspicious words... "

The other side didn't care that I was slightly dissatisfied with the tone of criticizing him, but asked, "well, young man, what's your job?"

"No!"

I shook my hand. "Have you forgotten my terms? Before he agreed, he kept asking questions, as if you were not qualified? "

Chen Qian quickly pulled my sleeve, "Jiang Feng, how to speak?"

Through the corner of my eyes, I also found that the white middle-aged man, who was a few meters away from the tourists, had a bad look.

Hehe, the more the other party is like this, the more I have to show indifference.

It's not my Jiang Feng who dares to cheer in front of the Secretary of the provincial Party committee. I know very well in my heart what I have to show - nature!

Did he show his identity? Not yet? Besides, he is an elder at most, and he is not my relatives and friends, right? Since from the perspective of respecting the old and caring for the young, I have given each other enough face, it is natural for me to show a little dissatisfaction appropriately.

After all, on the whole, it was the old man who kept questioning me.

So if I'm afraid of my hands and feet and what the other person says, it will arouse the old man's suspicion, because my performance is "too unnatural"!

Sure enough, there was a flash of embarrassment on the other side's face, but there was no anger in the embarrassment.

"OK, you can explain clearly. I'll take you on this trip to the forest of steles."

The old man laughed, and even used a way to take us to play to ease the unpleasant atmosphere between us.

"That's right! Ha ha, old man, you are a believer

"Hey hey, don't be a liar. I'm waiting for you to explain."

I felt that the heat was just right, so instead of endlessly pretending, I began to talk about how my "guess" came about.

"Old man, qianmei, first of all, you must make it clear that I'm just guessing, not proving mathematical propositions. Therefore, every step of my inference is not 100% logical. I have gambling elements in it. You can't argue with me about this."

They both nodded.

"Well, Mr. Jiang now opens a hundred forums! Ha ha, first of all, the old man himself said that you tend to admit that the characters in the forest of Steles follow the calligraphy style before the Song Dynasty, and even refer to the prosperous Tang Dynasty! And this is the basis of all my inferences, and the first step of my risky inferences. "

My mouth foam flying up, one after another to explain to two people.

"From a psychological point of view, if people don't have the idea of cheating when answering other people's questions for a long time, but just want to test and teach the other party or sell a small story to guide the other party to pay attention to their own topic, they will often reveal some information related to the answers inside and outside the conversation, and even directly prompt the standard answers. Do you think so?"

Chen Qian and the old man began to think about my words and nodded slowly.

"So I recall what you said," before the Song Dynasty, during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "So I dare to speculate that the calligraphy style of the two characters in the forest of Steles should belong to the handed down calligraphy style of a great calligrapher in this period. Although I don't know calligraphy, I know history, especially the history of Tang Dynasty. I know that the prosperous Tang Dynasty mainly refers to the period from the reign of Zhenguan to the flourishing age of Kaiyuan. After the an Shi rebellion, the Tang Dynasty began to decline, while the great calligraphers in the prosperous Tang Dynasty mainly included Zhang Xu, Huai Su, Yan Zhenqing and Liu GongquanSpeaking of this, I noticed that the old man's eyes on me had become a little strange. I thought maybe he was curious about my identity.

"Just like the saying" have you never eaten pork and seen a pig run? "Although I don't know calligraphy, I don't know how to raise pigs, but I know the lives of Zhang Xu, Huai Su, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, so I also know what their calligraphy achievements focus on."

I'm dancing in fear that they won't understand my metaphor.

It's just that my appearance made Chen Qian and the old man laugh. Even sister Qian gave me a thumbs up to show that although my metaphor was crude, it was vivid.

"So, I don't know how to raise pigs, but I've seen pigs run! I don't know how to write a good word, but I know that Zhang Xu and Huai Su are famous for cursive script. Cursive script is as messy as wild grass. Are these two characters similar? Get rid of them now! Ha ha, so only Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan are left. "

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly interrupted me, "young man, why not someone else? There are more than four great calligraphers in the prosperous Tang Dynasty

"Yes, like Zhao Mengfu!" Sister Qian murmured.

The old man and I were stunned and then laughed wildly, "Qian, ha ha, Qian Mei, Zhao Mengfu is a great calligrapher, but he, ha ha, laughs to death. He is not from the Tang Dynasty..."

Chen Qian immediately blushed, fiercely gouged out my eyes, "it seems that you can do it? Hum, I mean I let slip What they want to say is that Wang Xizhi... "
