God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 166 Scared?

"What? Are you scared?" Seeing Xu Jingxing yelling to stop, old man Cheng asked with a smile.

"I'll change to a larger piece of paper," Xu Jingxing said, removing the rice paper in front of him, and replaced it with a larger one, which guaranteed that he could write [-] characters, so that he would not have room to write halfway through.After pressing the large sheet of rice paper with a paperweight, he smiled at Old Man Cheng, "That's fine."

Old man Cheng coughed, "The title of this poem is called "Drinking Tea and Singing at Cui Shi Shi Jun"." Seeing Xu Jingxing's brows were slightly frowned, he couldn't help but smiled triumphantly and said, "What, you're stumped?" ?”

Xu Jingxing shook his head, "This poem is indeed quite uncommon, and the author Jiaoran is not a great poet. Although there are quite a few poems left behind, the style is mostly elegant and elegant. It is somewhat similar to Wang Wei, but the level is not good. Of course, there are also a few fine works, but what this person is most famous for is not his poems, but his identity. This person is a monk with the common surname Xie. He is the tenth grandson of Xie Lingyun, the founder of landscape poetry. He was also a celebrity at the time. one."

When old man Cheng heard his answer, his eyes straightened, "You even know this?"

He smiled and continued to answer, "In addition to his attainments in poetry and Buddhism, this Jiaoran has studied the tea ceremony the most. Some people compare him with Lu Yu and think that he is the founder of tea culture. He is also the earliest advocate, executor, and manager of scientific research on tea in experimental tea farms and laboratories, and the earliest promoter of the style of "replacing wine with tea", "Tea Tasting Club", " "Tea Fighting Competition" and "Poetry Tea Party" were all created by him, and "Guzhu Tea Competition" and "Shanxi Poetry Tea Party" are his masterpieces."

"In addition, he is also Lu Yu's instructor in the study of tea culture. He even once helped Lu Yu raise funds to study tea, and actively helped Lu Yu promote the station. It can be said that without Jiaoran's guidance, Lu Yu may not be able to become a The famous 'Tea Saint' through the ages."

"It's a pity that Jiaoran's literary talent is a bit unremarkable in front of those poets in the Tang Dynasty. Although there are many poems, there are only a few masterpieces. And the song you always talk about, "Drinking Tea and Singing Cui Shishi" "Jun" is one of them."

As Xu Jingxing spoke, his hands moved, and he recited while writing.

"The people of Yue left me tea from Shanxi, and picked up golden teeth and golden tripods.

The snowy color of plain porcelain and the puffy fragrance are like the nectar of various immortals.

After a drink, you will feel drowsy, and the feeling will be bright and refreshing.

Drink again to clear my mind, suddenly like flying rain sprinkle light dust.

Drink three times and you will get the Tao, why bother to break the troubles.

This thing is pure and noble, and the world doesn't know it. People in the world often deceive themselves when they drink alcohol.

Looking sadly at Bi Zhuoweng at night, smiling at Tao Qian under the fence.

Cui Houchu was full of thoughts, and sang an astonishing song.

Who knows that the way of tea is all true, only Danqiu is like this. "

He also uses Xingkai fonts, but the charm between the lines is more elegant, and the fonts are more beautiful, with a bit of a dusty taste, which matches the artistic conception of this poem very well.Moreover, the size of the font and the distance between lines are distributed just right. After writing, it can fill up the rice paper.

Of course, this fullness does not mean leaving no blanks at all, but leaving space for inscriptions, inscriptions, etc.

It is easy for ordinary people to learn to write brush calligraphy, and they can develop a shape with snacks, but how to lay it out is a skill that cannot be learned. This requires not only a relatively high art appreciation ability, but also a certain overall view. If The overall situation is not good, and the written words are fine when viewed individually, but they are awkward no matter how they are combined.

For Xu Jingxing, this was of course not a problem. Before he wrote the pen, he had already thought about where each word should be written, how the space between each word should be, how many words should be written in one line, and how many lines should be divided into. The seemingly inconspicuous but extremely important factors have already gone through his mind.

In this way, there is no need to be distracted when doing the work, and the whole process is naturally completed in one go, and the written words are more spiritual.

When he finished writing, Old Man Cheng was speechless. He pointed at Xu Jingxing, "You, you, you" for a long time, and finally choked out four words, "It's hidden!" Then he added four more words, "Young people are awesome!" That's not enough, and then sighed: "I really understand what it means to be a classmate. I am a typical example. It's a shame that I still have the intention to test you."

Xu Jingxing smiled, "Your old lady is exaggerating, but also too modest. My character is only a bit better in basic skills. Compared with you in other aspects, there is still a big gap."

"Don't, you say that, where can I put my old face? It is obvious that there is a big gap between me and you. Apart from other things, I can't write with this strong pen force. Tsk tsk, look at this painting. It is the same as cast iron, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is three-pointed."

"Hey, well, the main reason is that my arm strength is relatively strong. I play with hammer and chisel every day. After a long time, my writing skills will be developed." Xu Jingxing is really not modest about this point. His writing skills are indeed extraordinary. His arm strength is far beyond ordinary people.

Old man Cheng nodded, "So that's the case, but it's normal. I said why I always feel that your handwriting has the aura of chopping with knives and axes. I think it's because you often do carvings." One-handed calligraphy can be used for carving, so you don’t have to worry about food. I dare say that in our island city and even in Lu Province, your calligraphy is the best in the woodcarving world. It’s a pity that I haven’t seen your woodcarving works. It’s a pity.”

Xu Jingxing coughed, "I'll bring two of them some other day for your review."

"Haha, I feel a little guilty when you say that. Your calligraphy level is so high, and your carving level is probably not bad."

"The carving level is actually average."

"No, I don't believe what you say, you are too modest."

At this time, Cheng Lin on the side laughed and said, "Grandpa, don't just keep praising him, be careful to praise him to the sky."

"Hahaha, you have to boast about your level. In today's society, it's not good to be too low-key," Old Man Cheng laughed, and then changed his voice, "Can you paint?"

"Um, I can barely do some large freehand landscape paintings, and I can also draw two strokes of small freehand brushwork. I haven't dabbled in fine brushwork, and I can only paint black and white ink paintings. I haven't studied the way of coloring." Xu Jingxing is not modest, but the truth.

Ink and wash painting is a painting made only with water and ink. The basic ink and wash painting is only black and white.

He started to lay the foundation of ink painting in elementary school, but he only laid a foundation. After going to school, he didn't have much time to learn the skills in this area.
