Chapter 738 Discussing calligraphy with the future mother-in-law (2)
Li Zaiyun overestimated her father's calligraphy level. Perhaps it was because she had an irreplaceable position in her mind. Even if there were two identical works, if one of them was given the title of a relative, most of them would be
People will prefer the works of their relatives.
Therefore, this copy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" has an aura of family affection in her eyes and is naturally more valuable. However, it is undeniable that Lee Jae-yun's father, Park Sun-mi's grandfather, did have deep calligraphy skills.
"How does Mrs. Park think this calligraphy and painting compares with Wang Xizhi's original work?" I asked without answering, wanting to see if she could have a rational interpretation of her father's works and how much she understood the works of the calligrapher.
Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" was called the best running script in the world by later generations. For more than a thousand and seven hundred years after his death, no one could compare with him. It enjoyed great reputation in East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, and even had no regard for the name of the saint of calligraphy.
No dispute.
Li Zaiyun thought I was using Wang Xizhi to suppress her father, and was quite dissatisfied, "Of course my father cannot be compared with the Master of Calligraphy. If you say that, then I have nothing to say!"
"Mrs. Park misunderstood. I'm not trying to compare your father with the Book Sage, but I want to ask how much you think your father knows about Wang Xizhi?" I have never met Li Zaiyun's father, but I guess he must have seen it.
The original work of Lanting Preface, but I have definitely never been to China to travel around. Only by walking among the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains can I experience that artistic conception.
The "Orchid Pavilion Preface" copied by Li Zaiyun's father is also quite similar in appearance to the original work, but it lacks soul. Therefore, being able to write a good work is not just a matter of copying.
"My father made a special trip to see the exhibition of the original works of Lanting Xu, and also went to Wang Xizhi's former residence. There are countless books about Wang Xizhi at home. He copied all Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and paintings. Do you think he knows the calligraphy sage?" Li Zaiyun read each book one by one.
Lord Sheng, it seems that Wang Xizhi also has quite a status in South Korea.
However, I do not agree with her remarks, "Mrs. Park, I do not deny what you said, but I think it is far from enough to understand a person and the essence of "Lanting Preface" just from those words. "Lanting Preface"
" was created in China. I think your father should walk among the Chinese mountains and rivers to feel the artistic conception of the literati. Perhaps his calligraphy will be more exquisite." My Beautiful Wife 738
Li Zaiyun looked at me silently. After thinking for a while, a faint smile appeared on his face, "Indeed, you are right. It seems that I have underestimated you. When my father was bedridden in his later years, he regretted not being able to travel more to China in his prime.
Visiting mountains and rivers, especially those places where literati and elegant people have stopped, was my father's biggest regret in his later years. I never thought you could see the clues from his calligraphy."
"Then can you comment on the advantages and disadvantages of this calligraphy and painting?" Li Zaiyun said sincerely.
"I don't dare to criticize, so I will tell you my own feelings about this calligraphy and painting!" I looked at the "Lanting Preface" copied by Li Zaiyun's father on the wall and said slowly: "The Lanting Preface was written by Wang Xizhi when he was fifty-one years old.
Later, he took advantage of his mood and wrote a book
The whole text has twenty-eight lines and three hundred and twenty-four characters. The whole text is charming and elegant, with vertical and horizontal strokes and endless changes, as if with divine help. It fully embodies the ups and downs of running script, its strong sense of rhythm, and its diverse shapes.
Characteristics such as stipple correspondence and so on.”
"My father's calligraphy has reached a morphological similarity, which is indeed commendable. However, it lacks charm. If a calligraphy and painting does not have charm, it cannot become a masterpiece. If Mrs. Park's father is given a few more years, he will surely become a masterpiece."
Go back to China and take a walk, appreciate the aura of heaven and earth among the mountains and rivers, and if you take advantage of the mood, it will definitely be a level higher than the calligraphy and painting you have now!"
After I finished speaking, Li Zaiyun looked at me with a different look. He was silent for a minute or two before he clapped his hands and sighed: "Mr. Ye is indeed very enlightened, and his views are similar to those of my father in his later years. This is his
What the old man did when he was sixty-two years old, you have reached the level of my father in your early twenties at most, I admire you."
"Thank you, Mrs. Park. I was born in China and have traveled to many famous rivers and mountains. I have read and posted countless books. Su Shi's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" and Yan Zhenqing's "Nephew Memorial Manuscript" are also quite good.
The cursive script of "Lanting Preface"
"Also known as the three major calligraphy posters, if you are interested, I will give you two copies that I copied by myself when I return to China." In order to leave a good impression on Pu Shanmei's mother, I had no choice but to risk it. Those things are my treasure.
The treasure at the bottom of the box.
Li Zaiyun suddenly showed a curious expression, "Just lend it to me for a look. The calligraphy and painting copied by Mr. Ye must not be below the level of my father. How can I take something so precious away from others?"
"How about this, after I finish the competition, I will personally copy two calligraphy and paintings and give them to you. Think of it as a meeting gift for Aunt Park!" Seeing how interested she was, I thought it would be better to give her some gifts as soon as possible.
It would be best for her to strike while the iron is hot and propose marriage to her when the time comes.
Li Zaiyun was very happy and asked me to stay for dinner, but I had to go back to the hotel. As the leader of the group, it would be bad if something happened in the hotel and he couldn't find me. So he declined Li Zaiyun's invitation and went downstairs.
