When I walked into the store, the storefront was not large, and there was a middle-aged man in his 50s who were placing his paintings. This landscape painting that attracted me was placed on the shelf in the middle. From a distance, the layers, rocks, waterfalls, and clouds were clearly structured, which was very domineering.

"Baby, do you feel very domineering when you look at this painting?"

"The overall look is very good. This is drawn in ink, so amazing."

"Don't stand so close, stand a little further and then take a look."

Yanzi stepped back a little after hearing what I said, and then looked at the painting.

"Hey, I feel that the overall spirit is different. I just got close to you and saw the details. Now I feel that the overall picture is so majestic. It's a waterfall. You can feel the turbulence of the water flow, and the feeling of clouds and mist in the upper left corner. It's like you're in the scene, you can see a far place. The boat below is there, and there are birds there. I haven't felt so many elements in it before."

"Well, this is the charm of landscape painting. You can't get it without decades of foundation."

At this time, the painter heard our conversation and raised his head and said to us.

"Yes, the young man likes Chinese painting at such a young age? There are not many people like landscape painting at your age. They even know how to see from afar. Let your little girlfriend watch this painting from afar. It's great, very good."

"Boss, I'm just interested. I don't understand this. I have too much knowledge of Chinese painting. I haven't even touched the fur yet."

The boss put down the or in his hand, walked slowly towards me, pointed to the painting and said.

"Then tell me what you saw in this painting."

"Then I will tell what I see intuitively. Don't make jokes, boss."

"Hahaha, Chinese culture is profound and profound. It is said that those who are good at it are the first, but how many people can truly become those who are good at it? Each painting has its own story, and everyone also has its own opinions. There is no right or wrong. Let us appreciate this painting together."

Since the boss said all this, I just watched Hua slowly express my point of view, Yanzi looked quietly from the side.

"Boss, I looked at this landscape painting. I also agree with the intuitive evaluations of the paintings that my girlfriend said just now. The distance, height, light and darkness, structure, and the embellishments in the sky and water are all great. Moreover, this painting is exactly two feet in size for a whole piece of rice paper. The overall layout is very well-placed, including the signature and the lettering. The part in the middle is the finishing touch. If you can draw such a level, the author should be quite old, and probably in his fifties and sixties."

Listening to my words, the boss nodded and said.

"How did you see that this writer is fifty or sixty years old?"

"Look, this painting has a good grasp of lines and ink. Newcomers are all covered with ink to create. Perhaps the structure will not be bad, but it is more like a drawing. It has no characteristics of its own, and has a deep enough skill and masters of ink. Only by using up the ink can you add water to the level. So I saw that many masters write calligraphy in one stroke, which is large and shallow, but novices often write one word and dip ink and write the second one."

"Yes, you can actually see how you paint with water."

"Boss, this ink painting and ink painting can do nothing without water. Anyone who comes into contact with it knows that these rocks and waterfalls cannot produce any effect without water."

"Then tell me, what else do you see."

"It's not just painting, but this writer has already mastered the words."

"road?"

"Well, look, landscape paintings and brush strokes are closely related. The writer's words mentioned by him are no longer the regular order like beginners. His strokes should have been written in a horizontal way first, but he wrote them in the opposite direction, which is what we commonly call the inverted strokes. These changes are used on these characters, and his mastery of brushstrokes and font structures is unique and unique."

"It's interesting, I'll see something else, let's talk about it."

"From this painting, I can feel the writer's heart full of joy, and I feel that this is a painting given to others as a gift, and there are great expectations for generations."

The boss asked with some appreciation in his eyes.

"How do you see this?"

"I just feel it myself. He looks at his whole paintings as bright as he is, and it feels more joyful to use light yellow and red to embellish them. He adds the words he mentioned."

"The word "referred?"

"Yes, I hold the green mountains and clear waters in my hand."

"This landscape painting has mountains and waters, so it's normal to write these words."

"Yes, but now in recent years, we have been calling for the protection of the environment and nature. After the green mountains and clear waters, they can be more valuable than gold and silver. The expectation of these words is very great, and the secrets of them must be understood by oneself."

Wait for me, the boss clapped his hands and said.

"Okay, these words do have this meaning. The person who came to frame the painting was a middle-aged and elderly person who was almost 60 years old. This was indeed what he gave to someone else. I have asked about the words he mentioned before."

"What then he said."

"He said that these words depend on how the other party can understand them. If the knowledge level is narrow, the meaning of the understanding will be very limited. You can only see the superficial things, and the deep meaning needs to be based on the individual."

Yanzi was a little confused when she heard this, and asked by pulling my hand.

"Ah, what are you talking about? I could understand it before, but now I don't understand it."

The boss heard it and laughed.

"Little girl, you have to care more about current affairs and politics. Just look at the form of future exhibitions."

Yanzi shook her head, but she still didn't understand.

"Now the pollution is getting worse and worse. Some places have smog weather, including the damage to our atmosphere is also very serious, and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. The world has begun to slowly warm. This is the consequence of the natural environment not being protected. I didn't pay attention to it before, and the economic development is everywhere, and the trees have been cut down very seriously. You feel good in Lincheng. If you go to the northern city, it will be really difficult to see mountains and rivers."

"I know these, so we are all calling for the protection of nature now. Aren't we promoting the return of farmland to forests? Just like our school, it used to be a mountain, but it was opened later to become the current new district. It feels like a pity, and many trees have disappeared."

"That's right, you also know that these treasures given to us mankind by nature will be gone if they are not cherished carefully. Therefore, in the future, these green mountains and green waters will be more expensive than anything else. You can now understand the deep meaning of the green mountains and green waters written on the inscription on this painting."

"It seems that I understand everything, but I don't know how to express it."

"Hehe, you don't need to express it, just understand it. This is why the author does not directly state it, it depends on his personal understanding."

The boss also said at this time.

"Miss, your boyfriend is pretty good. You can see so many things from it. Landscape paintings contain too much culture. Everyone can appreciate a painting and have points that they like and dislike. But people who see these truths are very rare at his age. At least I have worked here for decades and have seen countless people evaluating various paintings, of all ages. I feel that your age is just seeing the surface, and you only think that the painting is good or not, and few people say the inner meaning. Just like my child, I only like to play games, and will not care about these future exhibitions and the charm of Chinese painting."

Yanzi was also very happy when she heard someone praise me. After all, if anyone’s boyfriend was praised, she would be more proud and even joked.

"Ah, have you heard that the boss said you don't want someone of this age, you're old."

"Haha, this is called maturity or not."

I said goodbye to the boss and continued walking forward with Yanzi, walking to the fishing gear area that I am most familiar with.
