God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 665 "Landscape Writing Art"

"I don't understand..." Xu Jingxing seemed to have realized something in his heart, but he still shook his head blankly.

Taoist Xuanyang opened his mouth, put away the long speech he had prepared, and let out a sigh of relief, "Let's take a look at the good things you brought back. Is it calligraphy or painting? Whose?"

"Huang Gongwang's painting, a nine-square-foot picture of streams and mountains, is a masterpiece at its peak," he said lightly.

"Who?" Xuanyang Taoist jumped up like a thunderbolt, "Whose painting?"

"Huang Gongwang," he replied with a wicked sense of humor, "Although this old man's reputation is not small, you don't need to be so surprised, right? Those who don't know think you've been electrocuted."

"It's really Huang Gongwang's painting? Are you sure? It's not a fake or an imitation?" Taoist Xuanyang asked eagerly, ignoring his lip service, grabbing his wrist.

"Why don't you, Brother Xuanyang, give you an appraisal?"

"Quick, quick," Xuanyang Taoist nodded impatiently.

Hey, the reaction of this Taoist priest is a bit strange. Huang Gongwang's reputation is not small, but as for asking Xuanyang Taoist priest to make such a gesture?If it was the authentic work of Lu Dongbin, Taoist Xuanyang's reaction was appropriate, but although Huang Gongwang had been a Taoist priest for several years, his status in Taoism should be very low, so he wouldn't be so shocked by Taoist Xuanyang.

But he was suspicious, he still took the painting to the reception room, and unfolded it carefully on the coffee table in the living room.

This painting has been re-mounted, and the mounting work is very good, and even a certain degree of old-fashioned treatment has been done to make the new mounting and the ancient painting look better. Therefore, although this painting has a history of 400 years, the state of preservation is not good. Very good, at least it can be opened and put away normally, and it can also be preserved normally. According to this level of mounting, it can last for a hundred years without any problems under normal preservation conditions.

When the painting scroll was fully unfolded, Taoist Xuanyang's big face was almost stuck on the painting scroll. Those who didn't know thought he wanted to get into the painting.

Taoist Xuanyang was very absorbed in watching, and was also very excited. While observing carefully, he muttered to himself, and what he said were things he couldn't understand, but it was not difficult to hear from the words that occasionally sounded familiar, Taoist Xuanyang talked about geomantic omen and metaphysics.

Could it be that this painting has something to do with Feng Shui metaphysics?
With this thought, he raised his forehead suddenly, and thought of the introduction of Huang Gongwang in the encyclopedia information. In the information, Huang Gongwang not only has superb painting skills, but also worked as a Taoist priest and a fortune teller, and even left behind the "Paper Boat". Mr. Quanzhen Zhizhi" and "Holding a Letter and Three Secrets" are the two volumes of Quanzhen School's internal courage cultivation experience and exercises, and there is also a book like "Writing Landscape Jue" that combines Fengshui metaphysics and Southern School painting theory knowledge. Strange books that come together.

Leaving aside the first two books on inner alchemy practice, the book "Writing Landscape Jue" is a really good book.

You must know that Huang Gongwang is the head of the four masters of the Yuan Dynasty. He is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, especially in landscape painting, which is second to none in the world. He played a very important role in the development of landscape painting in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Huang Gongwang himself is regarded as the leader of the southern school of landscape painting, and the book "Writing Landscape Jue" not only summarizes the experience of the predecessors, but also records his own experience. This book is very popular in the world. Cherished, known as the "true southern sect's mantle".

He had also heard of this book before, but he didn't read it carefully. He only knew that Huang Gongwang had written such a book.

It's not that he doesn't want to read Huang Gongwang's stuff, but because it is said that the content of this book contains some dross, and there are no regulations written in it, which makes it a bit messy to read.It was this kind of evaluation that made him not spend his time on this book.

He still remembers how Encyclopedia introduced it when he searched for this book on the Internet at that time, "the whole article lacks order, which makes people feel that it is difficult to see the system and the language is vague..."Writing Landscape Jue" is not without pedantic theories, such as "painting" "Feng Shui Cun Yan" is ridiculous, and the pine tree is a metaphor for a gentleman, and the miscellaneous tree is a metaphor for a villain's view, which is not the case for all ordinary paintings..."

Seeing such an introduction, who still has the heart to study it carefully?

What's more, there is no translation of "Writing Shanshui Jue", and you can only search for classical Chinese texts on the Internet. It is very difficult to read, and it is normal for him not to spend much time studying it. Besides, how many people will study such a partial work now?Besides, "Writing Landscape Jue" is not a big work, it is just a long essay included in "Stop Farming Record", only 32 chapters in one volume.

But now, he suddenly realized that Huang Gongwang's thesis-like work might have another mystery.

He didn't believe in Feng Shui metaphysics before, but now, he has to believe it.In this way, the theory that "painting also has Fengshui" in "Writing Landscape Jue" is probably not nonsense, but the foundation of Huang Gongwang's founding school. After all, Huang Gongwang's attainments in landscape painting are universally recognized Yes, at the same time, Huang Gongwang himself has indeed been a Taoist priest and a fortune teller, and even once served as the abbot of the Longevity Palace and the Kaiyuan Palace.

The abbot and the point of reference are equivalent to the officials of the Taoist clergy. They are mainly responsible for governing all the clergy within one temple and one temple. , let alone mentioning two mountain gates in a row.

So from this point of view, apart from being a brilliant painter, Huang Gongwang should also be quite accomplished in Feng Shui metaphysics, otherwise he would not be able to write such a wonderful essay as "Writing Landscape Jue".

At this time, Xuanyang Taoist also raised his head, and said to him excitedly: "That's right, it's Huang Gongwang's painting, absolutely right."

"Are you so sure? Are you afraid it's an imitation by later generations?" He asked knowingly.

Taoist Xuanyang's eyes were bright with excitement, "It's absolutely impossible. Painting skills can be imitated, but there is one thing that ordinary painters cannot imitate."

"what?"

"Fengshui," Xuanyang Taoist swallowed hard, with a proud expression on his face, "I dare say that Mr. Huang is the best painter among Fengshui masters, and he is also the one who knows Fengshui best among painters. Did you know that the old man was not only the abbot of Longevity Palace and Kaiyuan Palace, but also a fortune teller. He even wrote a book "Writing Landscape Jue" by integrating the theory of landscape painting and Fengshui, which is a combination of Fengshui and Fengshui. One of the best art fusions is also a typical example of applying Fengshui learning, why is the landscape painting of old man Huang so imposing? This is the reason!"

Looking at Taoist Xuanyang's excited expression, he felt a little amused in his heart. He thought this Taoist priest was quite interesting, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked: "Is it really so magical?"
