99 Chapter 99, Calligraphy and Painting 2
"Then what about Miss Li Xiqin?"

The host Li Xueguo turned to Li Xiqin. As we all know, this former entertainment girl was born in an ordinary family in the countryside. She has low education and has not graduated from university. So he just asked casually, because the answer prepared below has already been given to another person.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiqin replied very casually: "This is Zhang Zhi's "Champion Post" in the Eastern Han Dynasty!"

host:……

Audience: ...

"Isn't it right?" Li Xiqin was taken aback for a moment, what expressions did everyone have?She has copied the championship post no less than a hundred times, it is impossible to read it wrong, right?
The host laughed dryly: "It seems that Ms. Li did a lot of homework before coming to this show?"

This kind of spirit is good, but how should he sing in the next play?Generally speaking, this kind of show has routines. The purpose of inviting celebrities to come is to increase their popularity, but they can't be too cold.But before Li Xiqin came, the program team hadn't talked to her in any way, so it was impossible for her to know the topic this time.

So it can only be that Li Xiqin made a lot of plans for this show, and as a result, the blind cat met the dead mouse and encountered this problem.

But now it's a little embarrassing.

"No." Li Xiqin was puzzled.It was the first time for her to post such an announcement, so she didn't know that there were many flowers in it, and she came at the right time.

"Then how does Ms. Li know that this is a championship post?" The host smiled.

"Zhang Zhi is the sage of cursive and the originator of cursive script. Anyone who has learned cursive script must know the champion post, which is normal."

Host: "It seems that Ms. Li has learned cursive script?"

Li Xiqin was very embarrassed: "After studying for a while, I gave up because I was greedy for fun. Thinking about it now, I still regret it."

host:……

How can someone answer this?This Li Xiqin is bragging and doesn't make drafts.

Mei Xuan interface: "It seems that Miss Li is very familiar with Zhang Zhi, so can you tell his story?"

Li Xiqin blushed: "Actually, I don't know much."

Mei Xuan sneered secretly, knowing that she was slapping her face to look fat, now it's up to you how you step down.

Mei Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, just say what you know, I think most of the audience still don't know much about him."

Li Xiqin thought for a while: "I only know that he is a son of an aristocratic family. His grandfather is a prefect, and his father is a general. Although Zhang Zhi is a son of an official family, he has no playfulness since he was a child. He is diligent and studious, and devotes himself to calligraphy. He also has a brother named Zhang Chang. , is also a famous calligrapher. Their brothers have a famous ink pool for calligraphy practice, it is called Changzhi ink pool, you can go to see it when you have time. By the way, it is said that Zhang Zhi is also an expert in pen making, I am I was very interested to see his writing brush, but it is a pity that it has not been handed down. Well, that's all I know..."

Audience: ...Does this mean that you don't know a lot? ?drunk! !
Professor Qi smiled: "Miss Li knows a lot, so do you know why Zhang Zhi is called the Sage of Grass?"

"Because Zhang Zhi inherits the past and the future, integrates Cui Du's brushwork, and breaks away from the old customs to create an original one, and refines it to become the current grass. The style of the characters is formed by one stroke, and occasionally it is not connected, but the blood is continuous; It runs through and keeps interlacing. The ancients called it: "One-stroke Feibai", which opened up a new world of calligraphy. Calligraphers of all dynasties praised Zhang Zhi's cursive script as "one-stroke script" and honored Zhang Zhi as "the saint of grass"!"

Professor Qi clapped his hands and laughed.

"Okay, Miss Li really knows the details!"

The audience applauded together.

host:……

The host is worried, this is different from what he said, but he is worthy of being a famous host who has experienced many battles, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Ms. Li, for sharing. I didn't expect that we could welcome a cursive calligraphy lover today. It's a great honor."

"No, you misunderstood. I'm not a cursive calligraphy lover. I really only learned a little bit back then, but I admire Zhang Zhi very much."

Host hahaha.

"Miss Li is really humorous."

Li Xiqin:? ? ?She told the truth where the humor.

The host quickly changed the subject: "What do you think of Miss Mei?"

Mei Xuan: ...Let Li Xiqin say everything, what can she say?
"My understanding of Mr. Zhang Zhi, the sage of grass, comes from Mr. Wang Xizhi, the "sage of calligraphy". He once said that there are two senior calligraphers he admires most, one is Zhong Yao of Cao Wei, and the other is Zhang Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It can be seen that Mr. Zhang Zhi is a very great calligrapher. Unfortunately, he seems to have died young, so he did not leave more works."

Li Xiqin interrupted and said: "He still has ink that has been handed down, mainly "Chunhua Ge Tie", which contains five posts and 38 lines. The champion post we see now comes from this post, and he also wrote "Brush Heart Theory" "Five articles, it is a pity that this has been lost."

Mei Xuan: ...

Audience: Qin Ma 666
Host: "Miss Li knows very well. Mr. Qi, do you have anything else to add?"

Professor Qi said with a smile: "Almost none. Ms. Li has already described it in detail, so I will add one more point: Zhang Zhi's "one-stroke book" is "written in one stroke", "like flowing clouds and flowing water, Pulling out the Mao Lianru, implicating the upper and lower, or borrowing the upper and lower characters to make the lower characters, strange shapes and separations, and both numbers and meanings." This is Zhang Huaiguan's incisive summary of a book in "Shu Duan", and at the same time spoke highly of Zhang Zhi Zhang Zhi's cursive script "strengthens bones and muscles, and crowns all sages with virtue", thus becoming "the first cursive script". Zhang Zhi's cursive script has brought unparalleled vitality to the art of Chinese calligraphy. It is a treasure of China, but it is a pity that it has been handed down Too little."

Li Xiqin: "Although there are few works, the calligraphy of later generations of calligraphers, such as Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu, Huai Su, and Sun Guoting, has been more or less inherited by Zhang Zhi. It can be seen that his wild calligraphy has not been lost. Isn’t it a great blessing that there are still so many people admiring and liking him?”

Professor Qi was thoughtful: "Well said, I am not as clear as a young man like you, that's right! Although Zhang Zhi's works are not many, but his wild grass has been passed down, so what regrets?"

The two actually talked back and forth on this show, and they were very entertaining.

The narrators, Yu Ji and Mei Xuan, were a little embarrassed. The two had participated in several episodes of the show. Professor Qi was very polite to them, but usually they didn't talk very well.Yu Ji is fine. He usually likes to collect some calligraphy of famous masters. He also does some copying by himself, and can chat with Professor Qi, but Mei Xuan basically has nothing to say.

The host quickly rescued the scene and said: "Now let's read the story of Mr. Zhang Zhi, the sage of grass."

The comic story of Mr. Zhang Zhi was shown on the big screen, which was basically exactly what Li Xiqin said, but with a little more detail.
