Debut After Eight Years

In the capital city, a certain courtyard house.

This courtyard house has been carefully renovated, as if it was a princely mansion on TV, with all kinds of quaint mahogany decorations and furniture.

In the study room, a thin old man was standing in front of the desk, holding a writing brush in his hand, calmly, with strong arms, writing calligraphy characters one by one on the white paper on the table.

There were two people standing around, an old man in a kimono and a middle-aged man.

The old man in kimono stood next to the old man who was writing, watching from a close distance, while the middle-aged man stood not far behind with a respectful expression, as if he was not qualified to stand in front of him.

The thin old man waved his arms in his hands, and the writing brush was like a dragon snake on the paper, one after another, the incomparably chic cursive script appeared. It seemed that the paper was not a calligraphy character, but a dragon snake dancing wildly. Most people would not be able to recognize it at all. I don't know what the word is, but I can also feel the crazy and rhythmic artistic conception contained in it.

Obviously, this old man is a master of cursive calligraphy.

His arms were shaking, full of vigor, cursive fonts appeared one after another, and he put down the brush after filling the whole paper. The whole person was full of a sense of freedom and arrogance, and a smile appeared on his face.

The old man in the kimono next to him clapped his hands lightly and praised, Mr. Han is worthy of being the number one master of cursive script in China. This work will definitely cause everyone to snatch it up.

The thin old man's name is Han Zhao, and he is known as the first cursive calligraphy master. In his early years, he was a professor of the Shuimu Chinese Department. He learned from a certain cursive script master. He is very talented. , is one of the leading figures in the field of calligraphy in China, a real master of cursive script, not those bragging cursive calligraphy masters on the Internet. Li Xiyan's qualifications and seniority are a little higher than Li Xiyan's, and he is on an equal footing with Lin Xizhan.

The old man in kimono is exactly what Wen Cangjian mentioned. Mingze Jibu, one of the three major literary schools in the island country, is good at writing poems and calligraphy, as well as Chinese painting, and is also proficient in rhythm. He can handle several folk instruments in the island country. One of the most versatile figures in island literature today.

Mingze Jibu and Han Zhao knew each other decades ago. Back then, Mingze Jibu also came to Huaxia Jingda and Shuimu two top universities to study for a period of time. He became good friends with Han Zhao and kept in touch for many years, so he came to the capital. After that, he lived in Han Zhao's house.

Han Zhao nodded in satisfaction after hearing Mingze's quick compliment, and said with a smile, I'm old, I'm not as arrogant as I was when I was young.

Cursive script, if you want to write more artistic conception and taste, it is indeed more artistic conception when you write when you are young and arrogant.

However, Han Zhao's cursive script is more sophisticated at first, and there is sophistication in the arrogance, just like the growth process of a person, it is highly sought after by the calligraphy circle, and many calligraphy lovers and collectors in the market are buying it at a large price The price of one character of his works has reached tens of thousands, making him one of the most valuable calligraphers alive today.

The middle-aged man behind said: The teacher's cursive calligraphy works have been listed as one of the library collections by Beijing University and Mizuki University, and the National Museum has also been included in the collection, and it is called one of the contemporary cultural treasures.

Among the contemporary Chinese masters who are still alive, there are only a handful of people who have achieved such achievements!

Mingze laughed quickly and said, Hahaha, I will definitely cherish the two works Mr. Han gave me and treat them as family heirlooms in our family.

Han Zhao said with a smile: Mr. Mingze is too famous. If you want to say that the most valuable work is still Wang Qian. One of his works has been hyped to five million in the market. The National Museum is also planning to collect him. With his works, he has achieved such achievements at this age, he is really the first person in the contemporary era.

In Han Zhao's words, he recognized and admired Wang Qian very much.

He has also watched all of Wang Qian's live broadcasts, and even quietly went to Zhejiang University and Double Star. He has seen Wang Qian's handwriting and works, so he naturally knows Wang Qian's strength and talent, which can be called a monster.

After listening to Han Zhao's words, Mingze shook his head and said, I don't think so. Mr. Han, you are the first person in cursive script, and my calligraphy can be regarded as good. We all know that it takes a lot of money to achieve success in calligraphy. Work. How many years did you spend? I remember that when you became a master of cursive script, you were over 50 years old! I only touched the threshold of calligraphy master three years ago, and I was already 70 years old. Do you really think that Wang Qian is only 30 years old? Can you create calligraphy fonts like Thin Gold? Become the only calligraphy master in the contemporary era?

Also, each of the works he wrote requires profound life experience. There are also pure feminine and graceful poems like Zuihuayin and Yijianmei. How can he, a big man, write so profoundly and delicately?

Han Zhao came to the mahogany chair in two steps and sat down. He picked up the tea prepared beside him, took a sip, then raised his head to glance at Mingze and asked lightly, So, Mr. Mingze, do you want say what?

Mingze hurriedly said with a little seriousness: I think this is a game, a game where many people create and create momentum for Wang Qian, and the official may be over. What do you think?

Han Zhao glanced at Mingze and asked, We are not good at poetry, so let's not talk about it for now. Let's talk about calligraphy. Then, who do you think is capable of creating calligraphy like Thin Gold and become a master? Who is so magnanimous to give up the title of such a generation of masters to Wang Qian?

Back then, when I entered the threshold of masters, I was as arrogant as the cursive calligraphy I wrote. I wanted to surpass the predecessors, create my own calligraphy fonts, and achieve the status of the first calligraphy master for hundreds of years. However, I Up to now, it has taken more than ten or twenty years, but there is no clue.

I also understand why there are only so few masters of calligraphy for thousands of years? That is really Wenqu Xingxia.

Mingze stepped silently for a while, and then continued: Then, what if there is an official force behind it?

Han Zhao asked back, For what? Why was Wang Qian selected?

Mingze stepped forward and said loudly: In order to create a grassroots myth that the whole people pay attention to, and to overwhelm the Chinese cultural heritage of our island country...

Han Zhao smiled, shook his head and said, Mingze hurriedly, you are thinking too much. We Huaxia itself have always suppressed the Chinese culture of your island country! You have been learning from us and will always be just students.

Mingze was silent for the first time, but there was a look of refusal to admit defeat in his eyes.

The middle-aged man also said softly: Mr. Mingze, in addition to giving lectures at Central Music and Beijing University, Wang Qian will also come to give lectures at Mizuki in Beijing this time. You have ample opportunities to find out the truth. And, according to me As we all know, Mr. Wen Cangjian, one of the three major Wenzongs, came from your island country to visit Wang Qian today.

Together, there is also Mr. Lin Xizhan from Hong Kong Island.

The middle-aged man only mentioned Wen Cangjian and Lin Xizhan, because in his and Han Zhao's opinion, only these two people were qualified to mention it.

Others, not even Li Xiyan are qualified.

After all, Li Xiyan is not a pure literati, but a musician and a calligrapher. At the same time, he has only recently become a new master of calligraphy, and he is still a student of Wang Qian, and has become a new master of thin gold calligraphy.

At the same time, Li Xiyan is one of the vice presidents of the Beijing Calligraphy Association, but Han Zhao is the president of the Calligraphy Association, and is the only president, but there are several vice presidents.

Therefore, regardless of status, qualifications, or strength, Han Zhao never put Li Xiyan in his eyes.

Only Wen Cangjian, one of the three major literary sects in the island country, and Lin Xizhan, the first running script in the south, are qualified to be compared with Han Zhao.

Han Zhao said softly, Wen Cangjian's calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting are both superb. Lin Xizhan's running script has reached the limit of a master. They are all dedicated to their studies. However, they are too eager to see Wang Qian...

A trace of contempt flashed in Han Zhao's eyes.

No matter how popular Wang Qian is recently and how excellent his works are, in Han Zhao's view, he is just a junior with no background. How can he be qualified to let senior seniors like them visit?

Wen Cangjian and Lin Xizhan have surrendered their identities.

It should be Wang Qian who sent the greeting card to visit them.

Mingze shook his head quickly and said, Wen Cangjian won't expose Wang Qian, Lin Xizhan's so-called first running script in the south is very watery... As far as I know, there are people who can't lose to Lin Xizhan in Nanyang and Baodao , the two old men of the Kong family and the Li family are low-key, but they are both very strong...

When mentioning the Chinese national studies families in Baodao and Nanyang, Han Zhao smiled without saying a word, with a hint of arrogance still in his eyes.

Because, he is Han Zhao, he is a master of the cultural circle in the capital, he is a master of the cultural circle of the capital, and he has a natural sense of superiority when facing the masters of Chinese studies in other regions.

Even the man from the Kong family didn't pay attention to him.

Several people are chatting.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then the door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man walked in with a young woman, looked at Han Zhao and Mingze, and said respectfully, Mr. Han, Mr. Mingze. I just heard some news.

Seeing that the visitor was so anxious, Han Zhao took another sip from his teacup, and then asked, What's the matter, so anxious? Don't be impatient at any time in your studies.

The middle-aged man said quickly: I heard from a good friend of Beijing University that Mr. Lin Xizhan, Xue Zhenguo, Zhao Shuren, Wen Cangjian, and Li Xiyan left from Wang Qian. Jia Fuqing and Zhang Yue from the Northwest were also with him. , the news came from Zhang Yue and Jia Fuqing.

Han Zhao looked serious.

Mingze hurriedly asked expectantly: Did Wang Qian lose when they met and competed with Wang Qian?

The middle-aged man shook his head, and said seriously: According to what Zhang Yue said, there was only one match between them this morning.

Only one?

Both Han Zhao and Mingze Jibu were full of curiosity.

From their point of view, Wen Cangjian and Lin Xizhan are both leading figures in their respective regions. If they came to visit Wang Qian, they must have come from bad people.

Therefore, there will be at least two sparring sessions.

What, only one game?

Mingze hurriedly asked happily: Wang Qian lost the first game, so there will be no second game, right?

The young woman behind the middle-aged man quickly said: Of course not. It is said that Mr. Wen Cangjian and Professor Wang Qian discussed calligraphy and Chinese painting. Mr. Wen Cangjian used his accumulated inspiration for several years to create the most peak painting in his life. work.

Han Zhao said impatiently, Yueling, just tell me what happened.

The young woman is Han Zhao's granddaughter, Han Yueling, who is currently studying as a doctoral student in the Shuimu Chinese Department. Hearing grandpa's impatience and seeing Mingze's eagerness, she immediately said: Then, Professor Wang Qian also created a piece on the spot. A pair of traditional Chinese paintings, and a poem written in thin gold calligraphy on it, called Wanglushan Waterfall, the poem is written, the sun shines on the censer to produce purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river from afar, flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be like the Milky Way falling nine days!

Hearing this poem, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

Everyone is a master and expert in the field of Chinese studies. Even if they can't write good ancient poems, their appreciation ability is absolutely top-notch. Naturally, they can tell at a glance that this poem is not ordinary, but an excellent poem. Landscape description poems are not inferior to the few landscape poems that have been handed down through the ages in textbooks.

The middle-aged man whispered: As expected of Wang Qian, this poem is truly a masterpiece.

Han Zhao didn't comment, and asked again: And then? Yueling, continue.

Mingze Jibu also had a serious face, and said softly: Wen Cangjian's traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy can be said to be one of the best in the island country, but it is both calligraphy and painting in the island country.

Han Yueling smiled after hearing Mingze's quick steps, and then said: Mr. Wen Cangjian, even if he is a master of calligraphy and painting, he has to bow in front of Professor Wang. Professor Wang has a picture of looking at the Lushan waterfall, plus this poem. There is also the final signature, which directly made Mr. Wen Cangjian admit defeat on the spot, and let Mr. Lin Xizhan leave without writing a word.

Mingze quickly stood up with a face full of disbelief, and asked, Why? A painting, a poem, and an inscription. Why do you do this?

Han Zhao was also full of curiosity and anticipation: Keep talking!

Han Yueling nodded and said: I was not at the scene, and I have never seen the painting by Professor Wang. However, according to Zhang Yue, that painting is the highest standard of Chinese painting he has ever seen. It is said to be a masterpiece of Chinese painting. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is several grades higher than Mr. Wen Cangjian's paintings, and Mr. Lin Xizhan gave the highest evaluation on the spot, saying that it is an extraordinary painting and a national treasure.

This poem is also an excellent landscape poem, coupled with the calligraphy of the master of thin gold calligraphy, it is of extraordinary value.

The reason why Mr. Lin Xizhan left without writing a single word was Professor Wang's final signature.

Zhang Yue described that Professor Wang's final inscription mentioned Mr. Lin Xizhan, Mr. Wen Cangjian, and Professor Li Xiyan. However, the calligraphy font used is authentic running script calligraphy, and its level and artistic conception are still higher than Mr. Lin Xizhan's. , so Mr. Lin Xizhan has no way to write.

At this moment, Han Zhaodu stood up in shock, spilled most of the tea in the cup in his hand, and stared at his granddaughter Han Yueling with wide eyes.

Mingze Jibu shouted loudly: This is impossible, this is impossible! This bragging is too fake...
