Chapter 190 The Strange Man
More than two hundred years ago, when the study of calligraphy was popular, it was the emergence of lacquer books that made the calligraphy world bloom.
Nowadays, the era of being unique no longer exists, but lacquer books have no successors.
The thirsty pen is eight points, which is a brushwork created by Jin Nong from Huashan steles in his later years. The great way is simple, but the seemingly simple strokes are even more difficult to get started. There is no calligrapher who has become famous for lacquer calligraphy in later generations.
Zhong Yue's writing is steady.
With the blessing of the nine powers of gods and man, the font is more handy.
The horizontal stroke is like a scale.
The vertical pen is like a streak.
The majestic lacquer books are vividly written on the paper.
Fold the peak, build the peak, break the pen, and wave the wave.
The characteristics of all lacquer calligraphy brushwork are fully displayed.
After the work was completed, Zhong Yue put down the pen in his hand and placed it on the pen holder, saying, "Please give me some advice."
Several famous calligraphers stood up and walked over, looking at the lacquer writings with exquisite pens and thick ink, whispering in a low voice, whispering to each other.
Yun Hui nodded from time to time.
Wang Ge looked at the masterpiece of lacquer books on the table, and his eyes narrowed, his face suddenly looked a little ugly. This... A few months ago, he had read Zhong Yue's works. He obviously did not have such writing skills. Why did today's works make him feel so grand?
This kid...was he hiding his weakness before?
"Well. I have learned the essence of lacquer books in my brushwork. It is simple and straightforward, especially some details. The processing is very good. I dare not say whether it is the best lacquer book in the world. But at least I know that among the few people who have studied lacquer books, the ones that are the most interesting."
"Indeed. Although I have been specializing in stele studies for decades, I can grasp the brushwork of lacquer books without such pen skills. This kind of non-vulgar style of calligraphy has few people to study, so it is even harder to have such essence. Mr. Yun, you are the lacquer books of the lacquer books in Beijing, the master of stele studies, and it can be said that they are recognized as the number one in contemporary lacquer books. You think the two are compared..."
Wang Ge said: "The master of lacquer books in Beijing is a master of Beijing. How can this be compared? I think Mr. Yun would not tell lies against his conscience."
Yun Hui smiled knowingly, "Let me first talk about my opinion on Zhong Yue's work. When we evaluate calligraphy, we must first look at his foundation. lacquer books, three types of people cannot learn. First, those with weak power cannot learn. Look at the situation under the rice paper."
Yun Hui lifted the rice paper up. Most people write books, but there is basically no ink marks on felt paper. Even if there is one, it is a faint ink shadow. However, when Yun Hui lifted the rice paper up, the originally yellow and white pure wool felt underneath can actually photocopy the basic font of four large characters!
"Strive through the paper back!"
Yun Hui nodded and said, "The ichishu that I have known to you, everyone said that it is difficult for ordinary people to have such pen skills. Secondly, those who cannot learn it cannot learn it. Even if they have a little basic calligraphy, they can't write ichishu according to normal writing regular script and writing libun.
Some professional calligraphy journals say that Jin Nong wrote the brushes after cutting the brushes in his lacquer books. This statement is really misleading. In fact, lacquer books are written with normal sheep hair brushes. The key is to learn to raise the tip and close the tip, and use the tip, round, and the "solid" of the brush to write the lacquer books that are as sharp as a knife and have flying white in the strokes.
When discussing the authenticity of the lacquer book, everyone didn’t believe in the brushwork of the side-edge. Now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, I believe everyone has a clear idea in their hearts. What this young man is right."
A middle-aged man who was learning to write a post interjected, "Old Yun, I will interrupt you. I may not have studied many lacquer books and have few calligraphers. I would like to ask if the styles of self-proclaimed calligraphy that appear in the calligraphy world today can also be classified in the form of lacquer books. After all, lacquer books are also unorthodox styles."
Yun Hui smiled slightly and said, "It is better to be clumsy than clever, rather to be ugly than charming, rather to be fragmented than to be light, rather to be straightforward than to arrange. Let's start with a man, and the character of strange people has been since ancient times. Looking at Jin Nong's lacquer books, there is no cleverness, charming, lightness, and arrangement, which is completely straightforward, clumsy, spicy, raw, cold, and natural strokes. It is definitely not deliberately making trouble for the sake of sensation. This is also something that we deserve to learn from, but this "strange man" is not something that ordinary people can imitate, and it is also the third reason why there are fewer successors in lacquer books."
Wang Ge smiled and said, "Old Yun, you have been talking for so long, but you haven't said a word yet. Is this lacquer book the best in the world?"
Xi Qichang looked at Zhong Yue's masterpiece on the table and shook his head and sighed. Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and the seniority in the calligraphy world. Although Zhong Yue's brushwork is unique and the rhyme of lacquer calligraphy is full of gold and stone, it can be called a genius, but it is probably more difficult to say that it is the best in the world.
Who recognizes this world's number one?
Always younger. If Zhong Yue was now an old calligrapher in his seventies and eighties, he might be qualified to say the best in the world of lacquer books. Now... at least for the sake of the master of Beijing Beibei Stele Studies, Yun Hui would probably not say that this is the number one person in lacquer books in the world.
I'm afraid many people present knew that this was a cruel bet, and the final winner might be the one who turned to Xiao Kai Wang.
Yun Hui smiled and said, "I don't think it's the best lacquer book nowadays. Just now, I sent this work to an old friend in Beijing and asked him to evaluate it. I think it's the most objective and fair."
The people present sighed.
"My God, let the master of calligraphy evaluate it? Isn't this slap him in the face? Zhong Yue must have lost."
"It's such a pity. If these Shanghai calligraphers on the scene were asked to comment, maybe Zhong Yue would still have a chance to win. If the master of stele studies says this, there would be no chance."
The middle-aged man standing by the cloud emerald handed over his cell phone.
"Well, he called, let's hear how he evaluated it."
Yunhui pressed the hands-free button.
"Boheng."
A sound full of energy came from the other end of the phone. Sure enough, the person who wrote the lacquer book could not be an old man with weak strength. He seemed to be an energetic old man. "Hey, Huizhi, it's been a long time since I saw you. I've just read the lacquer book work you posted."
Everyone present held their breath and focused, and pricked their ears to listen.
"What do you think?"
"He's such a young man in his twenties?"
"yes."
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment and said, "A strange man."
"Do you think it's the first person to lay lacquer books nowadays?"
"There are mountains outside the mountain and people outside the people. If you have to be serious, who dares to say that he is the best in the world? However, the brushwork of lacquer calligraphy is amazing and there are very few successors. At least I am not as good as this young man. Huizhi, if you have the chance, I hope to invite this young man to Beijing. I want to communicate with him. At least among the people I have come into contact with, the lacquer books he wrote are the most flavour of gold and stone, and the essence of Mr. Jinnong."
"Okay, let's not bother you now."
"Hey, OK. Remember to let this young man come to Beijing for a trip if he has time."
The phone hung up.
But the calligraphy and painting room fell into silence for a long time...
