Chapter 224 Xiling Seal Society
The old wolves with keen sense of smell have made subtle adjustments from the moment the Shanghai Stock Exchange opened. Although it is not a big deal, those who are interested can actually see that the slight increase has finally been turbulent in the ancient ink industry.
Zhong Yue didn't know how the stagnant water surged undercurrents. He made an appointment with Cao Danqing to learn painting. The rest of his spare time was to copy the preface of Lanting Collection at home. Although running scripts are relaxed in terms of font rules, it is even more difficult to copy. The structure of the characters is based on each other and the situation is morbid to pick out some characters alone, but when put into the whole work, it is like a drunkard leaning on a pine tree and shores on a boat, everything becomes natural.
Although Zhong Yue and Shenren made some achievements in nine styles and their attainments in small regular script are becoming increasingly excellent, they still have such unsatisfactory copying of this world's number one running script. Running script is actually like freehand painting. The brewing of emotions is very important. Otherwise, after the Lanting gathering, Wang Xizhi would not have said that he could never write the style of that day.
Zhong Yue copied it five or six times, and even a person who "works hard" could not stand it. It shows how hard and arduous the masters of famous calligraphy back then were.
Someone rang the bell outside the door.
Not many people know about Zhong Yue's move to his study. Apart from the Ouyang family, only Xi Qichang and Cao Danqing learned about it. Cao Danqing naturally would not loudly horns and was afraid that the world would continue to promote where his precious apprentice lived. He wanted to lock Zhong Yue in his home, learn painting with peace of mind, and let the beautiful old guys die of his heart to instigate him.
As for Xi Qichang, he is also a low-key person on weekdays, and it is impossible to promote where Zhong Yue lives everywhere.
Who could it be?
Zhong Yue got up and opened the door. There was nothing like cat eyes on the door of the study. Zhong Yue opened the door directly and saw that it was an old man in a suit. When he looked back, he found that it was Xi Qichang and asked, "Old Xi, I didn't say it..."
"Don't worry, old man, I'm in a tight voice, and even Old Han didn't say anything."
It’s not that Zhong Yue feels good about himself, but the main reason is that the living environment in this study is too good, and Mr. Xi can bear it. If this publicity is made, several old friends from Ouyang Kaishan come to stay every few days, then Zhong Yue will have a headache. His place is not a nursing home.
"Then this one is..."
"In Xiaxiling Seal Society, Vice President, Qian Yunyao."
"Xiling Seal Society?" Zhong Yue was a little surprised.
When it comes to Xiling Seal Society, Zhong Yue is familiar with it. This academic group, which was originally organized by seals, existed as early as the Qing Dynasty. At that time, everyone had been with Jinshi in this Xiling Seal Society. The first president was Wu Changshuo, a modern master, which was enough to show the authority of this academic society. The master of seals, who served as president, was also a well-known master in China.
However, for the public nowadays, the one who knows the most about Xiling Seal Society is its institution - Xiling Seal Society Publishing House. Ancient and modern copybooks and Xiling Publishing must be a fine product.
Because Xiling has a long source and has abundant resources, it can be found and published for some famous writers. Therefore, when ordinary calligraphy enthusiasts choose copybooks, they will recognize the copybooks published by Xiling Seal Society and extend them. Some literary works, etc., all involve this. Nowadays, some calligraphers and painters want to increase their fame and want to publish their own collection of calligraphy and paintings, they all rely on their relationships to ask others to plead for manuscripts. However, in this era, they are individuals. They can write something casually, even if they don’t write anything, and they can find a Sanliu Publishing House to publish it. However, the reputation of Xiling Seal Society is there. It is precisely such a strict community system that it is more difficult to pass the manuscript of calligraphy and painting works.
In addition to the on-the-job editors of the publishing house, they also have to pass the cross-examination of the directors of the printing house, which has accumulated a century of reputation in the industry.
Seeing Zhong Yue's a little confused look, Xi Qichang broke the awkward atmosphere and said, "That's right, Zhong Yue. Lao Qian is my old friend in Lin'an. After seeing your small calligraphy works, he was very shocked and wanted to talk to you."
"Old Qian, Mr. Xi, please come in there."
"good."
Qian Yunyao stepped into the threshold and looked inside, "Mr. Zhong has a wealthy family. It is not something that can be lived in such a house in Shanghai that is not something that is just as rich as you can do."
Zhong Yue smiled and looked at Xi Qichang without explaining much, "Mr. Qian, please."
“Oh, OK.”
Xiangming brought Gengyunxuan, Zhong Yue sat on the sofa and asked, "I don't know what is the purpose of Mr. Qian visiting this time?"
"Oh, that's it. I was a coincidence and read the full text of "Liujia Lingfei Jing" you copied in Huizhou. This time, I went to Shanghai to petition friends and mentioned this matter to Lao Xi after dinner. After the two of them communicated, he handed me the manuscript of "Leyi Lun" to me. I can't believe it. It was written by a young man over 20 years old."
“So you…”
Qian Yunyao took off the hat on his head, put it aside, and said, "That's right. I believe that anyone who learns calligraphy should have read it, you are no exception, right?"
"Well, I have copied the Bohai engraving."
"Then you should have a deep understanding. Whether it is the Bohai engraving, the Wangyunlou version or the Zihuitang version, they are all very different from Moji, and even a world of difference."
Zhong Yue nodded, "Not bad."
Qian Yunyao said: "It's a pity that except for those forty-three lines, the other sizes were gone without a trace."
"You are sorry for this money, and it disappeared hundreds of years ago." Zhong Yue naturally would not be so stupid that he handed over the fifty-three lines of the version he had just succeeded to show them. Every man is guilty of being a treasure. The fewer people know this, the better.
Qian Yunyao nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, yes, I understand this, but it has always been a pity for the incomplete Lingfei Jing, so I have always been interested in publishing a copybook of "Liujia Lingfei Jing" to fill in the shortcomings of the engraved version and the regrets caused by the original incompleteness."
"Publishing? Then come to me..."
Qian Yunyao smiled and said, "That's right, I'm here to ask for an article for you. I'll come to represent Xiling Seal Society to ask for an article for an article."
Xi Qichang was also a little surprised. He originally thought that Qian Yunyao came here just to communicate with Zhong Yue, but he didn't expect to make an appointment to publish the article directly? This is a bit too soon.
"Old Qian, stop kidding, what can I publish..."
Qian Yunyao said: "I'm really not kidding, so I published the "Liujia Lingfei Jing".
“Do I have enough qualifications?”
Qian Yunyao looked at Zhong Yue and said, "I'll put aside the situation for you, do you dare?"
