God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1459

When Yu Mingxiu saw the poem written by Xu Jingxing, his face turned red, and he thumped Xu Jingxing's waist: "There is no such joker."

Xu Jingxing continued to play dumb: "What?"

"Hmph," Yu Mingxiu rolled his eyes at Xu Jingxing, then shifted his gaze to the big black characters on the rice paper: "Let me practice against this?"

"What are you thinking? This is just a demonstration for you," Xu Jingxing smiled, and took a pen to repeat the lines of words written just now on the rice paper, but this time it was changed to willow script, and then used For the other two classic italic characters, repeat those few lines, "Look, which one do you like?"

Only then did Yu Mingxiu come to a sudden, and then looked at it carefully for a long time, and then pointed to the few lines written in Zhao's script: "I like this, whose font is this?" "

"Sure enough, I knew you would choose this," Xu Jingxing said with a smile, "This is the Zhao script, the font created by the great calligrapher Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Zhao in the four regular scripts Ouyan Liu Zhao is this, it's just your choice It’s a bit unfriendly to you, a rookie with zero foundation, so you have to be mentally prepared.”

"What do you mean?"

"Let me tell you this, among the numerous calligraphy beginners, almost most of them are enlightened with Ouyanliu three fonts, and rarely use Zhao style for enlightenment, do you know the reason?"

"do not know."

"The first three of the four fonts of Ouyan Liuzhao were all born in the Tang Dynasty. Only Zhao Ti was born in the Yuan Dynasty. There was an interval of 500 years. It can be seen that the world recognized Zhao Ti. However, because of this, when When calligraphy developed from the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, there were so many types of fonts, and the theory of calligraphy became more mature, why did you only choose the first three of Zhao fonts to compare?"

"why?"

"Because Zhao Tizi is a true collection of regular script. It not only has the rigor and dignity of Tang Kai, but also incorporates the charm of Wang Xizhi's running script. The brushwork skills and strokes when writing are different from the regular script. Writers need to be able to master the corresponding skills of stippling, and the ability to respond between strokes and strokes must reach a certain level in order to write Zhaoti well, so although Zhaoti characters are beautiful, it is not easy to get started."

"Is it so difficult?"

"It's hard to say, it's easy to say, it depends on how you understand it."

"how to say?"

"If you're just playing around, that's okay. Zhao's script is just right. Don't think it's a bit difficult to get started, but if you just want to fool the layman with a few strokes like cats and tigers, it's actually no different from other scripts. , don’t care about the brushwork and structure, as long as you bring some connecting pens, you can evolve into Xingkai, which looks very chic, and it’s definitely enough to fool a layman or even a semi-layman.”

"If you want to write better? Do you have to start with other fonts?"

"Not necessarily, it's just that the difficulty is relatively high. You need to master certain theoretical knowledge first, then carefully study the characteristics of finding fonts, and then go through a lot of practice before you can get started. And once you get started, even if you don't know other fonts at all. It is enough for you to walk in the rivers and lakes without being underestimated, because Zhao Tizi is a font that combines the characteristics of running script and regular script. If you really want to master it, you can naturally master most of the regular script, and it is not difficult to switch to running script."

"I want to learn, that's all." Yu Mingxiu nodded vigorously with bright eyes, as if she had already seen the beautiful picture of herself relying on her superb Zhao style calligraphy.

"No problem." Xu Jingxing changed a piece of rice paper and a large brush, and wrote down a large "Yong" character stroke by stroke on the rice paper, "Do you know the eight ways of Yong? Find someone to copy for a while." First, don’t write anything, just write this one character, and then practice other things.”

"So simple?"

"Easy? Write one and try."

Yu Mingxiu took the brush and wrote the word "Yong" on the paper with great interest. Needless to say, the result was completely out of shape, and it was still the same after repeating it twice. Son.

"It's so difficult. This hand doesn't listen to commands at all. What you think about is one thing, but when you write it, it becomes another thing..."

"Rookies, it's all the same," Xu Jingxing smiled and began to explain to Yu Mingxiu the principles and characteristics of "Yongzi Bafa", as well as the precautions. He explained in detail how to move the brush and change the force of the wrist for every stroke.

Of course, the focus is still on the pen.

For novices, the most difficult point to get started in calligraphy is to use the brush. Most people don't know how to use the brush when they are beginners, and they are as at a loss as they are with a broom.

Only those who have mastered the skills of brushwork can be qualified to trace posts, copy, and practice alone. If you do it rashly without mastering the skills of brushwork, the more you practice, the more mistakes you will make.

As for the character "Yong" written by Xu Jingxing, it is of course not the standard "Yong" character, but a character written in Zhao style. The brushwork, structure and strokes are all pure Zhao style characters. Practice, you can feel the difference between Zhao Ti and other fonts at the fastest speed, and you can also quickly understand the basic characteristics of looking for ladders.

He himself likes Zhao Ti very much, and he is also very good at Zhao Ti. Even if his understanding and cognition of Zhao Ti is not at the level of a master, it is not too far behind, because the theoretical knowledge of calligraphy and painting is getting richer and richer. It is becoming more and more clear that with the development of the times, the valuable experience summed up by the predecessors is more and more effective. Getting more comprehensive, clearer and more accurate guidance, even for self-study, is much easier than the ancients.

So in fact, in terms of the average level of calligraphy, later generations are better than predecessors.

Among other things, the level of many unknown calligraphers is completely qualified to be mixed with the word "jia" in ancient times.

Of course, in terms of the highest level of comparison, the ancients are still better.

Xu Jingxing is the latecomer who stands on the shoulders of countless predecessors, and his theoretical knowledge is far superior to that of ancient calligraphers. In addition, his own strength is here, so when he is giving advice to a rookie like Yu Mingxiu, there is no need to die. According to his understanding and cognition, he can compile a set of introductory skills for Yu Mingxiu based on the routine.

He has such qualifications and abilities.

It's just that the so-called tailor-made is actually just the result of kneading together the experience of the predecessors.

Calligraphy has been passed down for so many years, and so many amazing people in the calligraphy circle have almost come up with all the good ideas they can think of. It is difficult for a descendant like him to create a new set of entry skills completely out of thin air. Like going to heaven.

In addition, calligraphy is inseparable from a lot of practice no matter what skills you use to get started.

Although the standard entry is a bit troublesome and slow, but the basic skills are solid, and the progress is fast after entry.

It is fast to get started with another way, but it is not good for your future development.

It's just that Yu Mingxiu doesn't want any future, but wants to have calligraphy that he can barely handle to decorate his appearance, so naturally he can do it as quickly as possible, the simpler the better.

But even so, Yu Mingxiu, who has no foundation in calligraphy, still can't grasp the key point at all.

Xu Jingxing looked at the unsightly pile of "Yong" characters on the rice paper, and couldn't help but said, "Sister Mingxiu, otherwise, I'll teach you a few times by hand, and you can feel how I handle the brush carefully, okay?"

Yu Mingxiu nodded without hesitation.

"Cough cough," Xu Jingxing coughed, came behind Yu Mingxiu, wrapped his right arm around Mingxiu's waist and grasped Yu Mingxiu's palm, poked his head out from the left side of Yu Mingxiu's head, sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from Yu Mingxiu's body. Qingxiang, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart, adjusted his position, and began to move the pen slowly, "Attention, let's start the pen. Zhao Ti's pen is not very pursuing the effect of hiding the front. It's fine if you have that intention. You can write the momentum of Ni Feng's pen in mid-air. In the middle, but don’t expose the entire stroke, but make it a little more rounded.”

"Come on, increase strength slowly, hold the pen, turn, turn around slowly, pick up the pen at the same time, pay attention to returning the pen, what is called returning the front? The sharp strokes on the paper are retracted to make the strokes look fuller and more introverted, but don't retract too hard. Zhao fonts pay attention to hiding the meaning and not hiding the shape. To put it simply, it is half-hidden and half-revealed. It's the feeling of "coming out after a thousand calls, still holding the pipa and half covering the face", using an idiom to describe it is "rejecting and welcoming", and you can understand that feeling by imagining the pen as a shy woman with affection status."

"The second stroke is still the same, but pay attention to echoing the first stroke, just like writing cursive script, you need to connect the strokes, but here you can't really put the strokes on the paper, just make a virtual connection, that is, put the strokes on the paper. In the middle of the air, it is enough to add a little bit of continuous strokes at the end of the first stroke and the beginning of the second stroke, you see, in this way, close the brush, raise your hand to connect the strokes here, and then let go of the stroke..."

Xu Jingxing spoke very carefully, much more carefully than when teaching An Xin.

At the beginning, An Xin also had zero basic skills. The little girl was very serious and attentive, and her comprehension was quite high. Basically, she could figure out the tricks after just one lecture, at most two times, and the rest was a lot of practice, so An Xin got started very quickly. The basic skills are very solid.

But Yu Mingxiu is different. This woman may be a strong woman with savvy in business, but she really doesn't know anything about calligraphy.

But Xu Jingxing still took the trouble to teach her over and over again, teaching her hand in hand.

I don't know how many times I taught it, but Yu Mingxiu finally found a feeling, at least his brain understood it, and his eyes understood it, but his hands couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Anyway, I saw the effect.

It's just that the two people at this time have almost merged into one.
