ALL NOVEL Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 83 Sincere Heart
The purpose of the calligraphy competition is to imitate ancient times. The calligraphy of the four masters, Wang Yan, Liu Ou, must be dabbled in by participating students.
Because during the competition, they will make a few lots, and then let you draw two, and whoever draws will imitate whose handwriting.
More than a dozen desks are lined up one after the other, each with a distance of five meters, allowing other students to observe their writing at 360 degrees without dead ends.
If there are people with poor mental endurance, who shake their hands when they see people coming to watch, then I am sorry. Those old gentlemen who are good at calligraphy and are invited to comment will not listen to what you say, they only read the words.
I heard that there was a student in the previous sessions who took the test of the Six Arts of Gentlemen.He got Wang Xizhi's character, so he only wrote one character on the paper, which formed a sharp contrast with others.But with this one character, he won No.1 in that calligraphy competition.Because when everyone commented on his writing, they used a word that confused the real with the fake.
When Wang Xianzhi was learning calligraphy, his mother said, "My son has practiced calligraphy for three thousand days, but he is only a little like Xizhi." This shows the exquisiteness of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. To receive such a comment also shows his profound calligraphy attainments.
Jianghuai was the second to last in the draw. After the people in front of him were drawn, some were confident and some were downcast.
It is not easy to specialize in one kind of calligraphy, not to mention randomly selecting two out of the four. If some people have black spots, they will draw the two that they are least good at.
Chu Ci watched Jiang Huai drawing lots from a distance, and saw that after he opened the note, there was a moment of secret joy on his face, so he speculated that he should have drawn the one he was best at.
Sure enough, the person in charge of the lottery held Jianghuai's note and said to the teacher next to him: "Jianghuai, a student from Yuanshan County, has drawn two kinds of Yan and Ou."
After all the lottery was drawn, the students took their seats at the table.There is a person at each table who is responsible for keeping an eye on the audience, so as not to watch the students doing ghostwriting.
The time for writing two works is limited to one hour, and within this hour, you can hand in your works at any time.
Chu Ci walked around the eight tables, and finally couldn't help admiring. Sure enough, every top student from the county who came to participate in the literary meeting has something special.Even the scholar who just got Wang Liu's handwriting is very beautiful, at least judging from Chuci's aesthetic standards, if this person goes to modern times, he will definitely be able to fetch millions of dollars for a piece of work.
Calligraphy praises a person's good handwriting, and often uses Yan Jin Liugu to describe it. Jiang Huai learned Yan Zhenqing's handwriting since he was a child. s work.
After finishing this pair, he immediately pushed the paper and rubbed the ink, preparing to write Ouyang Xun's works.He paused for a while, and wrote a few words on the waste manuscript next to him. He didn't write on the rice paper until his brushwork gradually turned into vigorous, rigorous and serious.
An hour passed quickly, and the pile of paper next to some people was unknown how high. Even Jiang Huai lost four or five sheets when he practiced writing European characters.
As soon as the gong rang, someone came to collect the works.These works are not allowed to be signed, and the two people in charge of collecting them will write a serial number on them, so that when the time comes for the old gentlemen to evaluate them, they will not be afraid of being favoritism.
After Jiang Huai handed in the work, he walked towards Chuci and Chen Zifang.He twisted his neck, and rubbed his fingers again, thinking that it was because of his concentration at this moment that he had a backache.
"I think this time I will be famous." Jiang Huai said.The two times when he came to participate, the exams were all about articles and poetry.He is not bad, but others are better, so his ranking is generally not very high in the Eighth Academy.
Because of the Eighth Academy, not only eight people participated in one game.Each county school has a quota for the number of participants.For example, for the No.1 students last year, nine students can participate in the next year, eight for the No.2 students, and only three for the last few.
"Haha, then let's congratulate Brother Jiang that his wish will be fulfilled in advance." Chu Ci said with a smile.Chen Zifang also followed suit, and the three of them joked with each other, having a good time.
Several old gentlemen observed very carefully, each of them has made great achievements in a certain font, and they are responsible for arranging the characters in their hands in order, and then according to the ranking of the two characters written by this person, take the A rule of thumb.
For example, if Jianghuai's face font ranks first and European font ranks third, then he will be counted as No.2 in the total score. If no one in front of him surpasses him, he can be postponed to the first place.
After another hour of waiting, the result finally came out.
The rankings are the top ten, and have been reported from the bottom to the top.Jiang Huai listened nervously, secretly hoping that his name would not appear in the first few.There was no Jianghuai in the number of registrations until the fourth place, so Jianghuai breathed a sigh of relief, the top three should be stable.
"No.3, Zhao Licheng, a student from Songshan County. The book is in the European and Liu style, the European style is ranked first, and the Liu style is ranked fifth."
"No.2, Shu Bixian, a student of the prefectural school, the book is Wang Yan Two Styles, Wang Style is ranked first, and Yan Style is ranked second."
Jiang Huai's hands trembled like a convulsion. There was a glimmer of hope in his heart, but there was another kind of worry. If No.1 was not him, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
"No.1, Jiang Huai, a student from Yuanshan County, whose book is Yan-Ou two-style, Yan-style is ranked first, and European-style is ranked second."
Jiang Huai said incoherently: "I am the number one! Haha, I am No.1!" He has participated in the Eighth Academy's Literary Association for three consecutive years, and it is finally time for him to become famous!
"The students are a little confused. Why are Brother Jiang and I ranked first and second, and why are the students ranked below him? Sir, please explain to me."
Shu Bixian's voice sounded, his face was slightly dissatisfied, and his tone was very tough.After hearing this, the others all looked at the old gentlemen on the stage, wanting to hear their explanations. After all, this result is indeed a bit strange.
"Although both of you are ranked first and second, there is one point where you are not as good as this Jianghuai." An old gentleman spoke up. He has made some achievements in imitating Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. One was also taken by him.
"You imitate the Wang style, and the silent one is "Lanting Preface", but you know, there is a word missing in your article. I see that you are proficient in the two fonts you wrote, and the one who is proficient should be the Wang style? Since you are proficient, why even Wang Youjun Can’t you remember the content of the most famous works? On the other hand, this Jianghuai not only imitated the handwriting very well, but even the content layout is exactly the same. Calligraphy is the sincerity of the heart, so this time the first name should be him , are you convinced?"
"Students are convinced, and they will practice calligraphy more seriously in the future." Shu Bi first bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Anyone who is still not convinced can come forward and ask questions." The old gentleman looked around, but no students expressed dissatisfaction, so he asked the top ten to sign their names on it.These works will be hung in the Bowen Museum for a year, and will be removed after the next year's Wenhui.
Hearing the old man's words, Chu Ci was inexplicably moved. He really admired the solemn and cautious attitude of the ancients towards articles!
