Chapter 1019: Written in Painting

"I really don't have this habit." Su Shi said: "Instead of changing it over and over again, it's better to learn from Jizhang and burn it down."

"Don't, don't, don't..." This time it was Su You's turn to be reluctant to leave. He put away the two poems and picked up the fried dough sticks: "Anyway, just be careful in the future."

After breakfast, Su You took Su Shi, Su Che, Bian Guan and Wang Yanbi on bicycles to the Royal Charity Primary School.

Zhang Dunli also suffered a defeat. Because he notified Su Zhe in advance, he committed a taboo in the officialdom. All his positions were taken away. Even the Mizhou Observer who had finally been promoted was taken away. Now he is a polished prince-in-law.

, plus a principal of the Royal Charity Primary School who is not a court official.

However, with the support of Princess Wei, Zhang Dunli was not short of money at all. He could still live the life he deserved and had more time to paint.

Sansu's arrival caused a sensation in the school. The faculty, staff, and even the chefs and cooks in the kitchen flocked to the school archway to get a glimpse of Sansu.

When Su You sent flat cans before, they didn't get such treatment.

The school is about to go on winter vacation and the final exams are over. In fact, I have basically been in a state of herding sheep these two days.

The children don’t know Bian Guan Daddy, but they have to know Su Dabeard, from "Hezi Nostalgia from the Chichi", "Xianyoutan", "Ouyang Wenzhong Official Document", "Wanghulou Drunken Book", to "Jiangchengzi"

"Ten Years of Life and Death", "Jiang Chengzi: An Old Man Chatting About Teenage Madness", and then "Shui Tiao Songtou: When Will the Bright Moon Come" and "The Story of the Crane Pavilion", the spirituality of Da Su's writing has been evolving at a high speed.

, many of which have become popular articles.

Royal Charity Primary School is a school run by the will of Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao. It goes without saying that the two empress dowagers admired Su Shi. Therefore, many teachers will use Da Su's articles as model essays when explaining literature.

Undisputed number one in the world.

Even if you don’t consider this point, at least you have always heard the proverb “If Su Wen is cooked, eat mutton”.

Therefore, Su You originally brought Su Shi to express his apology to Zhang Dunli today, but the result was a crowd of onlookers.

After being disturbed for a long time, Zhang Dunli led a few people into the Shanzhang Jingshe to serve tea.

Seeing an unfinished painting on the desk, Zhang Dunli explained with a smile: "Now I have more time to paint, and the winter vacation is coming soon, which makes it even more boring. I have agreed with Wei Guo

Well, I might have to make a living by selling paintings in the future.”

Su Shi had a look of shame on his face: "Su Shi is really ashamed that he has implicated the prince-in-law."

Zhang Dunli smiled and said: "There is no implication. To put it in Mingrun's words, I am just a worm in occupying those two posts with salaries. How can the scholar-bureaucrats become a burden to the imperial court?"

After saying that, he handed over to Su You: "From now on, the fine seeds and new technologies from Zhuangzi cannot be hidden away. My Zhang family has to cultivate and inherit the family."

Su You rolled his eyes: "First, your village is managed by the Eight Lords and treats everyone equally; second, you talk as if you have experienced farming."

They are all informal people and have long been accustomed to teasing each other.

Zhang Dunli was a painting fanatic, and he gave up to Su Shi: "Zizhan's bamboo painting was personally taught by Mr. Shishi. Mr. Shishi has mastered bamboo in his mind, and he can reach the sky with his strokes. I just want to ask for advice today."

Su Shi sighed: "The socks in this world have nowhere to go."

Wen Tong learned about Huzhou in the first year of Yuanfeng. When he traveled to Wanqiu Station in Chenzhou last year, he suddenly couldn't stay. He bathed in clothes and sat down and died.

Painting bamboo is extremely difficult. Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty said in "Song of Painting Bamboo": "Bamboo is difficult to write among plants. Although there is no similar painting in ancient and modern times."

When he arrived at Wen Tong's place, he changed his Chinese bamboo painting skills from meticulous realistic brushwork to freehand brushwork with splash ink. He started writing quickly and used different shades of ink to describe the distance, nearness, and back of the bamboo. Mi Fu praised him: "Use the dark ink as the face and the light ink as the back.

"Ye Ke Shi Ye." created a new situation in Chinese ink bamboo painting, and literati followed suit one after another, forming the "Huzhou Bamboo School".

In fact, Su You's blue stone and calamus were also used in the same painting method. However, Su You learned it from later generations, while Wen Tong's was a real innovation.

However, because Wen Tong's ink bamboo painting was still in its infancy in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was not completely divorced from the realistic flower style that was fashionable at that time. Therefore, many later Chinese paintings were decorated with "introduction" and "claw" style strokes.

The calligraphy connecting strokes between the leaves and bamboo nodes are different from the bamboo writing style of the literati who used writing instead of painting.

Wen Tong was worried about people asking for paintings throughout his life. He once said angrily: "If you dare to send me plain silk again, I will use it as stocking material!"

That's why Su Shi sighed like this.

Picking up the pen, Su Shi said: "Today's bamboo painters are doing it step by step, and the leaves are tired. How can there be bamboo again?"

"Therefore, to draw bamboo, you must first have the bamboo in your chest, hold the pen and look closely, and then you will see what you want to paint. Get up quickly and follow it, pick up the pen straight, and follow what you see, like a rabbit rising and a falcon falling, and it will pass away if it is not long.

.”

"This is the painting method Wen Yuke taught me."

After saying this, he calmed down, and after a moment, he drew a branch of upside-down bamboo with a flick of his pen, just like a rabbit rising and a falcon falling, and he finished the painting in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Dunli was delighted when he saw it: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Su You's heart moved: "Zizhan's paintings have a bit of a disconnect between brushwork and meaning. In my opinion, Yuke's paintings have not yet reached the level of divine quality."

After saying that, he took the pen and added an orchid grass under the bamboo using dark and light colors: "Only when the calligraphy brushwork is taken into consideration can the painting be elegant, authentic and different from the customs of the times."

"If your consort wants to study further, I suggest you imitate my hot spring pool, plant bamboos and orchids, then put up paper windows and whitewash the walls, capture the essence of it in the sunlight and moonlight, cut out the complex and simplify it, and use your skillful pen to make business.

It will be completed.”

This was the natural way for Zheng Banqiao to adopt the method. Su Shi and Zhang Dunli were both smart people. They looked at each other and said, "This method is wonderful!"

Su Shi was also very sorry: "The teapot that Uncle Yao gave me was taken away by the Yushitai, and I don't know if it will be returned or not. The calamus on it is dripping and the business is booming. It turns out that this is the method used!"

Zhang Dunli smiled bitterly and said: "It's easy to talk about other things, but I guess you can't even think about that pot."

Su Shi stared: "Why?! Why don't you pay me back?"

Zhang Dunli glanced at Su You: "That day, His Majesty summoned me to the palace to punish me. When I was frightened, I seemed to see... the pot on the imperial desk."

Su Shi:"……"

After chatting for a while, Su You held the teacup and said, "When are we going to visit Professor Wang Jun?"

Zhang Dunli smiled and said: "I can do it at any time, as long as your county prince can persuade my sister to go to her sister for training. Why did you think of this?"

Su You said: "Isn't Ziyou about to go on an envoy to the Liao Kingdom? They like to bully the envoys of the Song Dynasty with cavalry and archery. The king taught him the art of archery and the power of the gods. It is said that sharpening a gun in battle will make it shine even if it is not bright. I want Ziyou to ask for advice.

One or two.”

In fact, it was Master Wang's appointment that came second, but Master Wang's appointment with his father, Wang Laolong, and Su You didn't dare not give it.

There was no detailed discussion that day, but Wang Kechen seemed to be very interested in Su You and took the initiative to invite him. Su You had no choice but to find a reason to come to visit as a courtesy.

It just so happened that Su You was also worried about Shi Wei. He knew his wife's temperament well. She had not received any systematic education from nobles since she was a child. She interacted among nobles and relatives based not on worldliness but legendary experience, ability and martial arts, and honesty and responsibility.

And straightforward.

He can be called a husband among women. Although he has gained a large number of female fans because of this, it is better to be careful when dealing with the royal family.

Zhang Dunli handed over to Su Che: "Zi You will have to leave after the new year, right?"

Su Che nodded: "Exactly."

Zhang Dunli stood up and said, "Then it would be better to choose a day that coincides with picking them up and recuperating."

Except for Su Zhe, everyone else had a free and uninhibited temperament and left as soon as they wanted. They called the carriage and everyone set off together.
