Chapter 18 Female Classmates(2/2)
Zhang Yue followed Guo Xuexue's teachings and had to put aside everything he had learned in the past and learn to write the word "Yong" stroke by stroke from scratch.
From researching ink to putting pen to paper, there is a set of rules and regulations.
In the previous generation, Zhang Yue learned calligraphy through extracurricular tutoring classes, using ink, but now he must start by studying ink.
But seriously speaking, if you really want to learn calligraphy, ink grinding is better than ink.
Grind the ink first before starting to write. Grinding the ink is like grinding your heart.
The speed of grinding the ink will affect the final strokes. Therefore, some scholars would grind the ink for thirty or forty minutes before writing. Rich people would leave this task to the bookboys. In the Song Dynasty, who studied in these days?
There is no book boy in the family yet.
After the ink is polished, the pen is dipped in the ink, the pen is picked and shaped, and then the pen is put on the paper.
Of course, before writing on paper, Zhang Yue had to go to the sand with branches and practice writing hundreds of words. He had a rough idea in his mind, and everything was based on economical conservation.
After practicing, Zhang Yuefang returned to the fir table and pressed the four corners of the paper with pebbles to prevent the words from slipping. When writing, he should follow the rules, and he should not follow the rules completely, but he should go in the direction of making the paper wider and wider.
One hundred words is not much, but the difficulty is to be slow and to use all your heart. After writing like this for several days, my fingers and palms are very sore, but it is clear whether a word has been written carefully. Although Zhang Yue takes a nap during the day, he is still writing.
I don't dare to be lazy at all in my efforts.
Finally, you must wash your pen after writing. The more you put it under the faucet in the previous chapter, it was almost like washing a mop...
A discerning scholar would buy a pen and wash, but Zhang Yue only had a flat-bottomed bowl.
The water used to wash the pen should just cover the tip of the pen. Soak it for a while before washing it. The ink in the pen belly must be washed away before washing. Guo Xuexun will check. If Zhang Yue does not wash it well, he will wash it again himself.
Zhang Yue studied at Guo Xuequu, and his food and accommodation, as well as the four treasures of his study, were all included in Shuxiu.
Guo Xuexiu was stingy to the extreme when it came to food, food and accommodation, but he was not stingy with pen, ink, paper and inkstones, using only the best things. He just repeatedly told Zhang Yue to cherish paper, words, pen and ink, and scholars must first start with respect when reading.
Let’s start with paper writing and the Four Treasures of the Study. Firstly, these are really expensive, and secondly, when studying, we must first start with respect.
