Chapter 374 Tian Huangshi Seal
"Come on, look at this Tianhuangshi Suzhang, do you like it or not?" Then, Xu Minghua handed a small box towards Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu took it carefully with his hands, then placed the box on the table, opened it gently, and saw the Tianhuangshi seal in the box.
He had previously learned about some materials of seals, including the three treasures of seal stone, that is, three types of seal stones. Among them, except Tianhuangshi, the remaining two are chicken blood stone and hibiscus stone, among which Tianhuangshi is the most famous.
When Xu Minghua decided to give him a seal, he asked him whether he likes Tianhuangshi or bloodstone, and he chose the former.
Because Tianhuangshi's warmth and delicateness is what he likes the most and is consistent with his personality. Although Chicken Bloodstone has a clear and bright character and a clean and self-disciplined character, many literati like it, he feels that Tianhuangshi is the most suitable.
The Tianhuang stone seal in the box looks very fine and solid, and it looks like mutton fat oil. It is a bit similar to the white jade he bought before. It is also golden and very pure. In addition, there is no carved on it, giving people a very clean feeling.
Zhou Yu picked up Tian Huangshi with his hand and looked carefully. He seemed to find some radish patterns that were faintly visible from it, making Tian Huangshi more beautiful. The whole seal looked elegant and noble, making people love it.
This Tianhuangshi is a simple seal, and nothing is carved under the seal. He held it in his hand and tried to press it on the table twice, which was very comfortable.
Although he did not study Tian Huangshi too much, he could also see the extraordinaryness of Tian Huangshi. "Old Xu, from his appearance and feeling, this Tian Huangshi seal is probably worthless. You can't give it to me."
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Xu Minghua suddenly glared, "What, do you look down on me? Old Man Tang can give you a few years of ink? Can I not even give a Tianhuangstone seal?"
"Well, I don't mean that. I just think this seal is very extraordinary and it will definitely cost you." Zhou Yu quickly waved his hand and said.
"It's just a seal, what a lot of money to talk about? If you really feel that you owe me, then practice calligraphy and give me a few pictures at that time." Xu Minghua waved his hand and smiled, and said indifferently.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. Judging from the situation, he had to accept the seal. "Okay, I like this seal very much, so I accepted it. Thank you Mr. Xu. I will practice calligraphy in the future. I will give you more calligraphy works."
"Is that right? Just like you like it. Now write the words you want to carve on the paper. The pen and paper are ready for you." Seeing Zhou Yu accepting it, Xu Minghua said with a smile, pointing to the paper and pen on the table next to him.
"Generally speaking, most of the seals of calligraphers and painters are seal scripts. After all, this complements the seal carving of seals. But speaking of this, other calligraphy can also be included in seals, just according to your own preferences."
"Of course, seal script is the most varied among all calligraphy. The structure has a certain degree of randomness, which can better arrange the layout and make it difficult for others to imitate." Then, Xu Minghua explained some knowledge about seals to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu nodded, walked to the table next to him, and picked up the brush, "Thank you Mr. Xu for your advice. I have learned some of these before, and what I engraved is also seal characters." As he said that, he used a brush to write three seal characters on paper, Zhou Yu's seal.
Since the characters in the Xianxia World are seal characters, he has studied seal characters a lot, and he practiced seal characters almost every day, translating some things from the Earth world.
Therefore, he can be said to be very familiar with seal script. It is easy to write three words at this time.
Xu Minghua also came to the table with curiosity. He had only seen the seal characters written by Zhou Yu once before, and the time he used them to ask about him a long time ago.
The seal characters written on it were a bit terrible, and they seemed to be drawn down. At this time, when he saw the three seal characters on the paper, he couldn't help but look surprised.
"These three seal characters are really extraordinary, and the changes are very mysterious, which shows your understanding of seal script. It seems that in addition to regular script, you are still studying seal script during this period." Xu Minghua said in surprise.
Zhou Yu smiled, "Thank you Mr. Xu for your praise. I have indeed been studying seal characters during this period. This ancient style of calligraphy is indeed very interesting and varied."
In order to find the meaning of seal characters in the world of fairy tales, he can say that he read all the seal characters in the Internet, including the seal characters in books, and wrote them every day, so he naturally mastered many changes in seal script.
"Seal script can be passed down from ancient times to the present because it is of great significance. The merits of calligraphers and painters are very important. Without them, seal script would not have been spread like this."
Xu Minghua looked at these three words and said with a smile, "Okay, I will help you carve these three words on the seal, so that they are not as good as what you wrote."
"Thank you Mr. Xu." Zhou Yu bowed and thanked him. Speaking of which, his green-bright flying sword is the most convenient to be used for seal carving, but now he cannot fully control it. Carving a small seal on it is really dancing on the tip of a knife.
"I promised you this. Thank you. Now I will use this chapter first. Later, I will get other good seals and engrave some other signatures. After all, a calligrapher and painter cannot have only one seal." Xu Minghua waved his hand and said.
In the following time, Zhou Yu stayed at Xu Minghua's house for a while and exchanged some things, including the response from the last flute concert, which caused a lot of sensation in the flute world these two days.
After all, many senior flute performers are very familiar with Mr. Cai's level. In the last concert, the few flute songs played by Mr. Cai had already exceeded the normal level, which naturally made many people curious and confused.
At the end, Xu Minghua said to Zhou Yu that the next Cuiyin Bamboo Flute Auction will definitely be more intense than the last one, and I am afraid that many people will try their best.
After a while of communication, Zhou Yu said goodbye and left. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. He drove his car towards Taoyuan Village.
