Chapter 19: On the Brushwork

The country is like a painting. Wang Ximeng stood in the mountain stream, looked at the rolling mountains, and asked, "Brother Zhong, what is the most important thing about calligraphy and painting?"

Zhong Yue had heard of Jin Nongyan's book and Wen Zheng Mingyan's book. When he heard this legendary boy ask the same question again, he understood many truths, "Whether calligraphy or painting are all craftsmanship. Since it is craftsmanship, brushwork is important, but in terms of brushwork, vision and heart are the top priority."

Wang Ximeng nodded, "That's right. The same landscape is a world of difference for mediocre people and talented people to see.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your advice."

Wang Ximeng smiled and said, "My fine brushwork method is taught by the emperor, not exquisite. It is even worse than Zhang Gongzeduan, so Brother Zhong needs to know that the brushwork is the mind."

Wang Ximeng was presented to the Royal Academy in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He repeatedly offered paintings but did not meet the wishes of Emperor Huizong of Song. However, Emperor Huizong thought that this young man was talented, so he personally taught him painting techniques. In less than half a year, Wang Ximeng presented this masterpiece, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which shocked even Emperor Huizong of Song.

"Soul?"

"That's right, throwing away the details, the pattern and aura presented by the painting are the author's mind."

A scroll of paintings that are more than ten meters long slowly unfolds.

Wang Ximeng held the pen and painted.

"The older the painter is, the more mature the painter uses ink. We are in our prime, why should we learn that mature brush? The beautiful mountains and rivers and the green brushes should be matched with the landscape. What do you think Brother Zhong thinks?"

Zhong Yue admires Wang Ximeng's optimistic attitude very much. The motivation is something he cannot see in Jin Nong and Wen Zhengming.

"When you are young, take your pen and draw."

"Thank you brother Wang for advice."

Zhong Yue withdrew from the painting system and sat on the vast and desolate broken wall.

After brushing and horizontal scales, Zhong Yue walked from the green grass in midsummer to this broken wall.

When Baojun, who was running in Mercedes-Benz, Zhong Yue finally realized the true meaning after hearing Wang Ximeng's heart.

Stiffness.

Even though there are thousands of ravines in front of me, I will move forward!

This is probably the attitude and momentum that calligraphers and painters need to show.

Zhong Yue sat on a dilapidated city wall, watching Baojun's hissing and whistling through the sky. There was no sign of turning back in this ink rhyme.

Again, another horse galloped over, and it was like a stamina.

Fast.

Turn the pen.

Hidden front.

Protect the tail.

Hidden head.

Zhong Yue finally understood that this wild horse actually covered the fifth of the nine powers of the gods and man!

In the past, I had no basic skills in painting and could not see the brushwork in it. Now I have inherited Wang Ximeng's landscape paintings.

What are the advantages of being young?

Aging painters like to do subtraction. A work has blank space, emphasis and omission. The talent of young painters lies in their keen insight and like to present everything they see on canvas. So Zhong Yue finally understood the essence of the five major brushworks covered by this Baojun.

Shredding, horizontal scales, vertical strokes, fast postures, turning the pen, hiding the head, protecting the tail, and hiding the tip.

The nine powers of gods and man have already obtained eight of them.

He withdrew from the brushwork system, stretched his waist and felt relaxed. This was his biggest gain in the past few months.

When he walked to Zhang Laifu's house, he saw Wang Dashan smoking with his master. He walked over and greeted the two of them.

"Xiao Yue, is it summer vacation?" Wang Dashan looked at Zhong Yue with a frown.

"Yeah, yeah."

Zhong Yue sat aside and asked, "What's the matter with Uncle Shan? Didn't he hear that the New Year will be transferred to the county?"

Wang Dashan took a deep breath of cigarette and glanced at Zhong Yue, "What happened to the elementary school in the village."

"What happened? What can the school do?"

"What kind of evaluation team came to the county? It said it was to review the teaching quality. Everything else passed, it was just music and art teaching. You also know, which one in this poor mountain valley is a person who loves to teach? In the past, several teachers from the village were substitute and dealt with things casually. This time I didn't expect it to be stuck here."

"What should I do?"

Zhang Laifu took a sip of cigarette. Although he had no descendants to go to elementary school, he also hoped that the village would get better and better. "If you can't find a substitute teacher, the village's primary school may face abolishment. In this way, our children in the village will have to go to the county to go to elementary school in the future. It's not convenient to say that the road is far away."

Although Zhong Yue wanted to help, he couldn't help. "This elementary school requires a teacher qualification certificate. Uncle Shan, why are you looking for Uncle Zhang?"

"It's okay not to use teacher qualifications, just need a substitute teacher. Just pass the expert review. The village is already looking for a suitable professional teacher, but this expert group will have to be settled in the next two days, and it's hard to find the right candidates, so it's so helpless."

Zhong Yue thought for a while and said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll find someone to help."

Wang Dashan was a little overjoyed, "Xiaoyue, are you willing to help?"

"I graduated from there, and I don't want my alma mater to be revoked like this."

"Okay, please contact someone quickly. Please deal with them in the past two days."

Zhong Yue thought about it and said that this art teacher had the best ideal, so he naturally asked Gu Qin for help. However, the relationship between Gu Tianhao last time was not very suitable for him to speak now, and it would make Gu Qin feel embarrassed. He just made do with it. It should be no problem for Wang Ximeng to teach elementary school by teaching Wang Ximeng's great-achieving painting method.

But what should I do if this music teacher is? Who should I find to substitute? If there is no suitable candidate, Zhong Yue had to suggest that Wang Dashan go to the city to spend money to invite someone to substitute, and there may not be people who will come here because of this little money.

Just as I was worried, I suddenly called.

"Hello?"

"Sister Zhou agreed to discuss cooperation with you personally. Can you see where is the right one?"

Zhong Yue's eyes lit up, "I don't sell my work. If I really want to talk about cooperation, there is a lack of a music substitute teacher in Daping Township in the afternoon. If you can help, the commercial purpose of this work will be given to Zhou Qingyu."

He hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, "Are you sure? You can use this deal to find a suitable substitute teacher."

"Time is tight, it's too late." Zhong Yue thought that Huang Youwei should have a suitable music teacher candidate for learning guqin.

"Okay, I promise to help and remember your promise." After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yue looked back at the nervous Zhang Laifu, "Master, don't worry, this matter will be solved."

"It would be best if you can help solve the problem. If all the children in the village have to go to the county to go to school, it will be uneasy to go back later."

Zhong Yue nodded. This matter was not for individuals, and Zhong Yue did not want the primary school he had attended to to be revoked like this.
