After a long and unfriendly discussion between Fang Yan and Saburo Fujino, the general rules for the calligraphy competition were finally decided.

First, there is no language limit.

Second, there is no limit to the content.

Third, there is no limit to the style of writing.

Yes, you can write a long poem, or you can write a single word. Whatever you are best at can be used as an entry.

Calligraphy has its own characteristics. Some people write every word that is very beautiful, while some people only practice one word for decades, but that one word flourishes and captures the essence.

Could it be said that the one-character calligrapher is not a calligrapher? Obviously not.

Today, we only focus on calligraphy. Therefore, long stories are calligraphy, and short stories are calligraphy. A sentence is calligraphy, and a word is also calligraphy.

Takehito Middle School sent a boy named Ueno Nobita, who was short in stature and had a kind face. He looked more mature than the other students, and had a mustache on his upper lip that was very inconsistent with the image of a high school student.

Fang Yan paid special attention to this boy's hands. His hands were always folded and held together and rarely moved.

stable!

If your hands are steady, your writing will be steady.

Stability is the basis for writing a good calligraphy.

No matter what you are pursuing is structure or interest. Keep your words in mind and your spirit will not be lost.

The representative sent by Zhuque Middle School was not Huang Haoran, but a tall and thin boy named Xiao Pinqing. The boy was a little over 1.7 meters tall, but he didn’t have much flesh on his body. When he put on clothes, he would feel empty inside. If he didn’t wear clothes,

It must look very much like a character in the "Legend" game that was extremely popular back then - the Skeleton Elf.

Seeing the two contestants standing in front of the desk, many people immediately laughed.

"The looks of these two people are really unique----"

"Isn't this the real-life version of General Hengha?"

"If the flesh on both of their bodies were evenly distributed, they would both be considered handsome men-----"

-------

Fang Yan also discovered this situation and thought that in the movies and TV shows he watched before, those with beautiful handwriting also looked good-looking. In the bamboo forest, under the plum tree, or in the attic in the ice and snow, there were handsome men in white clothes.

Standing in front of the stone case, the pipa was playing at this moment, and the man was swiping his hair and dyeing ink, and his pen was like a swimming dragon.

The pipa played urgently, and the man's speed increased. When the pipa played stopped, the man just raised his wrist to finish.

The environment is elegant, the artistic conception is refined, and the pipa is embellished. Coupled with this handsome young man from a troubled world, women are dazzled when they see it and want to commit themselves to it. Even men want to rush up and stab him twice when they see it.

force.

However, based on what Fang Yan has seen and heard, most of the artists in reality are shabby. Even some good-looking ones have their scores greatly reduced because of their clothes stained with ink or their hair and beards that have not been taken care of for a long time.

.

Fang Yan felt that he should be excluded, but unfortunately he was not qualified to participate in this calligraphy competition.

Of course, the student population is slightly better. Although Ueno Nobita and Xiao Pinqing have distinctive looks, they look very clean and tidy in their school uniforms.

In the calligraphy competition, the judges are still Lu Chaoge, Song Daoji and Duan Youjun.

Duan Youjun gently tapped the wooden fish in his hand and shouted: "Start."

After talking about the beginning, neither Ueno Nobita nor Xiao Pinqing started writing.

They were all polishing ink, and while polishing the ink, their eyes were looking at the white paper in front of them, as if there was some mysterious treasure hidden on the white paper.

Nobita Ueno was the first to dip his pen in ink and write on the paper: swallowing the sword and abandoning the famous bow, all I can see is this breeze.

Because Ueno Nobita wrote in Japanese characters, Fang Yan could not understand what this sentence meant.

However, it can be seen from the structure of the characters that he used the famous Japanese Hexiang style. This is what Fang Yan said was a calligraphy style created by the East.

The brushwork is elegant and well spaced. The fonts are connected in a line, like a black landscape painting blooming on white paper.

"You can enter the room." Fang Yan thought in his heart. Even if the other person is a student of the Wuren inspection team, even if this person is his opponent at this time, Fang Yan is still willing to give such a high evaluation to the other person.

Xiao Pinqing was still grinding the ink, as if the ink stone could not be melted.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

-------

Duan Youjun tapped the wooden fish in his hand gently. When the wooden fish made sixty sounds, the competition time was over.

At the beginning, everyone could keep their composure, but when the wooden fish was knocked out more than thirty times, Ueno Nobita took the lead in crossing the word, and Xiao Pinqing didn't make any movement, the students in Class 9 became a little anxious.

Their eyes were full of anxiety when they looked at Xiao Pinqing, but for fear of disturbing Xiao Pinqing's ideas, no one spoke out at this time to urge Xiao Pinqing to move faster.

When the wooden fish rang forty-six times, Xiao Pinqing finally picked up his pen and dipped it in ink.

filial piety!

He wrote a big word "filial piety" on the white paper in front of him, and that was the only word.

He put the brush in the ink cartridge and his forehead was dripping with sweat, as if he had just run three thousand meters.

He used the Wei stele, and his strokes were rigorous, simple, thick and smart. They were plump yet rigid.

"Okay, okay, okay." Fang Yan shouted the word "good" three times in a row.

Fang Yan himself also learns calligraphy. To put it bluntly, today at Qingfeng Tea House, he ranks first in calligraphy.

It is precisely because he learns and studies Chinese characters that he can better understand the value and excitement of the word "filial piety".

This has nothing to do with the teacher-student relationship, this has nothing to do with national interests, it has nothing to do with the personal feelings of calligraphy lovers and their extreme preference for the pursuit of art.

Just like a woman sees beautiful clothes, a man sees a Ferrari, and a foodie sees a banquet. When a person sees something unimaginable in his favorite field, he will express his sincere admiration like Fang Yan.

You should know that Wei steles are mainly used in the fields of inscriptions, epitaphs, statue inscriptions and cliff carvings. Xiao Pinqing's ancestors have made a living polishing tombstones for generations.

Xiao Pinqing's home didn't have much, but a lot of stones. From a very young age, his grandfather, father, and brother polished large stones into square or arch-shaped slabs in front of his eyes, and then used them according to the layout.

The list provided by the family inscribed on the tombstone the names of filial sons, filial sons, filial sons-in-law, filial nephews, etc.

Perhaps due to long-term nurturing or family inheritance, Xiao Pinqing was interested in these big stones when he was very young. When he just learned to write, his grandfather threw him a small clock and a small awl and asked him to

Knock out the words you can write on the stone.

Because he has been polishing stones since he was a child, Xiao Pinqing's hands are very steady. This has also cultivated his meticulous character in doing things and writing stroke by stroke.

After years of practice, his skill with Wei stele is so refined and refined that he is famous far and wide.

At the beginning, the customer asked his grandfather Xiao Changfa to engrave the name. Later, the customer asked his father Xiao Deshui to engrave the name. Later, the customer only asked Xiao Pinqing to engrave the name. As long as Xiao Pinqing engraves the name, the customer was willing to pay double the price.

Fang Yan first discovered Xiao Pinqing's specialty when he asked his students to write a poem based on "Farewell Cambridge" and handed it to him. Xiao Pinqing's poems are not worth mentioning, but his handwriting impressed Fang Yan.

There is a feeling of instant amazement.

He never thought that among students he could find such beautiful characters.

He immediately asked Huang Haoran to find Xiao Pinqing and dragged him along the tree-lined paths of the campus for more than ten minutes. Like an enthusiastic fan, he asked questions and finally learned the special reason for Xiao Pinqing's success.

Fang Yan encouraged Xiao Pinqing to keep up his efforts and find more inscriptions to study and figure out, but he should not imitate. Because Xiao Pinqing's calligraphy now has its own unique charm. If he blindly learns the advantages of others, he may lose his own essence.

The reason why he asked Xiao Pinqing to study the inscriptions was that he hoped to expand his horizons and give him a deeper and more mature understanding of his handwriting.

Xiao Pinqing repeatedly said yes, and Fang Yan's approval and praise were very helpful.

Later, he asked Fang Yan many times for advice on calligraphy, and Fang Yan also knew everything. He even went to his grandfather's house to get a facsimile version of "Yuan Huai's Epitaph" and lent it to Xiao Pinqing to appreciate.

Xiao Pinqing wrote the word "filial piety" hundreds of thousands of times. He also carved it on the tombstone by himself hundreds of times.

Filial piety, this is a Chinese tradition, giving people a sense of orderliness. No one can disobey it.

However, fulfilling filial piety requires knowing how to be flexible, thinking about what the elderly think, and thinking about what the elderly need.

This is not just a word, but a picture of descendants practicing filial piety.

Therefore, Fang Yan couldn't help but shout out three good words.

Saburo Fujino was very dissatisfied with Fang Yan's behavior and said: "Teacher Fang Yan, you are cheating and are suspected of misleading the judges. If you make such outrageous actions again, the judges will judge our victory."

Even Song Daoji was dissatisfied with Fang Yan's performance. He frowned and said to Lu Chaoge next to him: "Is the performance of the teacher at your school too intense?"

I mean, Fang Yan is just acting. Isn’t it just one word? Does he need to be so excited?

Fang Yan apologized and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help myself. I really can't help myself. The words are right in front of you. You can comment freely. From now on, I will never speak again -----"

Fujino Saburo sneered and said: "Do you still need a review? I already understand it clearly. Ueno Nobita's calligraphy is fluent and flowing, and every word singled out is a rare masterpiece. The most valuable thing is that his layout is reasonable and his ink is well-proportioned.

, can be called a master of the generation. In this round, Wuren Middle School certainly had the upper hand. I can only write one word, how dare I call it calligraphy?"

Fang Yan was angry and cursed: "Fart. Do you have any knowledge? Do you understand the exquisiteness of calligraphy? One word can't be called calligraphy? Just one word can throw you thousands of miles away -----

-"

"--------" Saburo Fujino was stunned. Didn't you say you would never speak again?

You liar!
