Reborn with you

After the old man’s words fell, some people immediately picked up their pens and wrote, and the wolf hair dipped in ink made a rustling sound as they scratched across the paper; some people thought for a while before writing; some people stood still for a long time, as if Think about how the layout is perfect.In his previous life, Shan Qiang did not know how many competitions he had experienced, even hundreds of people competed on the same stage. Naturally, such a battle could not frighten him. In his opinion, the thirty people who came today Both are of extraordinary strength, because he didn't think about how good he would achieve in the competition, so his mentality was very relaxed.After planning the layout style in my mind, I took up the pen and swayed it.Chen Yishui on the other side was a little nervous at first, but when he faced the things he was familiar with and thought that Shan Qiang was with him, his heartbeat slowly calmed down.Chen Yishui took a deep breath, but it was just writing, so there was nothing to be afraid of.Picking up the pen almost at the same time as Shan Qiang, swaying freely on the white paper.

The old man did not leave after announcing the topic, but sat on it quietly observing the reactions of these people.He could see everyone's reaction, including Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui.It didn't take long for the two of them to start writing. In the eyes of the old man, this was too young and impatient. Shaking his head, the old man continued to observe other people.

After inscription, Shan Qiang took out her small seal, dipped it in the vermilion ink pad prepared next to it, and gently stamped the seal on a blank space on the paper.

There are only twenty words, but it takes a long time.After Shan Qiang stopped writing for about ten minutes, all thirty people finished writing.After that, we have to wait for the ink marks to dry before we are done.Chen Yishui had nothing to do, so he looked around at the competitors on the same stage. Only then did he realize that the young man on his right was the young man who made him very unhappy. This person was still expressionless. Averted his gaze.Chen Yishui cut his eyes in a low voice, and stopped looking at him, moved his eyes to the back, and found that Shan Qiang was also looking around, and after meeting Shan Qiang's gaze, he grinned broadly.Shan Qiang looked at Chen Yishui's bright expression, and thought amusedly, compared to the man on his left who was sweating profusely, Chen Yishui is really careless, but such a personality is indeed good, at least Shan Qiang I really like the joy that Chen Yishui brought him.

It was the little boy who had just delivered the message again, starting from the first row, carefully placing everyone's works on the big wooden plate held by the people behind.After collecting, the old man said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, the old man has prepared simple meals, if you don't mind, you can eat here, Mo Wu, take the guests to eat."

It’s okay not to mention, but Shan Qiang really felt a little hungry when he got to the place to eat, and he really felt that the old man was really very polite. If the food like this is simple, then what does he usually eat, pig food? ?Not everyone has such a good appetite as Shan Qiang and the others. Shan Qiang accidentally saw that Wu Shaoxian put down his chopsticks after only two mouthfuls. See how a good meal affects him.

The next step was to wait for the results from the three judges. Out of politeness, Shan Qiang and the others did not wander around in the mansion, but went back to the room where they stayed at the beginning, eating and chatting.After waiting for almost two hours, Chen Yishui's mouth was dry from eating melon seeds, and finally the boy named Mo Wu came to inform that the result was out.For a moment, everyone's facial expressions were a little mysterious.

Returning to the West Wing, I found that besides the old man in the main seat, there were three elderly people sitting as guests, one of whom was Mr. Yin whom Shan Qiang and the others were familiar with.Mr. Yin glanced at them, then looked away naturally.The old man coughed, and said, "These three are the judges of this dragon dance competition. This is Mr. Yong, the old man named Songge, and this is Mr. He, who is named Xialiba—(Fat Pig Dadasoy Sauce), This is Mr. Yin, the landlord of Shuangqing. You must have heard of the names of the three gentlemen, and the three gentlemen will give you a comment. Do you have any opinions?"

The names of these three are well-known in the calligraphy world. Most of the people present are in their thirties, so how can they not know the qualifications and knowledge of these three? There was an objection, even Shan Qiang looked at Mr. He with bright eyes, another celebrity!Seeing this, the old man nodded to the three of them, indicating that it is time to start.

Mr. Yong cleared his throat and said: "Everyone's standards are very high, and the works are all excellent. In addition to the different styles, the three of us really dazzled the three of us. You also know that in the world of calligraphy and painting, there is no standard scale to judge high and low. , so the three of us can only judge based on personal experience, sometimes mistakes are unavoidable, if you have any objections to the results, you can raise them, and everyone can look at it together."

There are indeed some problems in the field of painting and calligraphy. Sometimes the preferences and personalities of the judges can greatly affect the comments on the level of calligraphers and painters, so these remarks are just a matter of routine.

"After comparing and discussing among the three of us, we agreed that No. 3 is Chen Xingzhi, No. 2 is Xuanyuan Junjie, and No. 1 is Shan Anzhi." As soon as Mr. Yong's voice fell, the following coaxed into chaos. Someone said: "Why haven't I heard the names of these three people?" "Yes, can I wait to see what those three wrote?" "Can the three gentlemen tell you the reason?"... Zhou Sheng looked strange Looking at Shan Qiang and Shan Qiang, the expression on his face became more and more indifferent; Wu Shaoxian lost his indifferent look for the first time, his face flushed, and he mixed in the crowd and shouted: "Wu is not convinced!" one glance.But Shan Qiang and the two of them didn't feel the reaction of these people at all. After they realized that it was Chen Xingzhi and Shan Anzhi, they were both stunned.Looking at each other, they both saw disbelief in the other's expression.

Mr. He kept smiling and watching the reactions of the people below, and after the voice gradually weakened, he said slowly: "Everyone, don't worry, take your time. First, let me introduce the three of you. Excuse me, who is Shan Anzhi?" ?” The crowd fell silent.

Chen Yishui heard someone calling Shan Qiang, and dragged the still dazed Shan Qiang to the front.The two people who were originally standing behind the crowd suddenly received attention, and even the complexion of the old man above changed.Shan Qiang recovered from the surprise, looked at Mr. He who was smiling in front of him, and regained a little calmness. The clear voice of the young man resounded in the silent room: "Sir, this junior is Shan Anzhi." Mr. He was obviously also surprised The young man who won the first prize said repeatedly: "Okay, then, where is Xuanyuan Junjie?" The taciturn young man stood up, and the crowd was agitated because of their youth, "Chen Xingzhi?" "It's a junior."

Mr. He looked at the three people in front of him and was speechless.Although in the previous dragon dance competitions, there were situations where teenagers entered the top three or even won the first prize, but it seems that this situation has never happened before. If you know the ages of the three in advance, it may affect the judgment of the three. possible.

"Sure enough, a hero comes out of a boy!"

The crowd had already calmed down, waiting for the explanation given by the three gentlemen. Such a result made them somewhat unacceptable.

"Come on, let's take a look at Xingzhi's works first." Mr. He took out the top one from the plate held by Mo Wu, and hung it on a shelf specially placed in front of everyone.The light outside the house has dimmed, but the house is still brightly lit, so everyone can clearly see every bit and every stroke of the hanging words.

"Everyone, please see that the characters in this picture are staggered, big and small, open and close, the thickness of the lines changes obviously, and there are ups and downs. The last line seems to be written crookedly, so crooked that it is almost toppled over, but such a The inclination is not blunt, but more free. It reflects the author's willful side and has its own style. Chen Rong's posture is precipitous, and his knotted characters are either leaning or upright, heavy or light, and "coming like thunder". The beauty of "Shen Fu". Do you agree with what He said?" "In addition, the location of the inscription and seal on this word is very ingenious, which makes up for the shortcomings caused by the limited format of these twenty characters. Therefore, the layout of this word is very good. Good." "Based on the above two points, the three of us think that the third place should be done, do you have any opinions?"

All the people present have been immersed in the world of calligraphy and painting for more than ten or twenty years, and their appreciation ability is not weak. After reading the words, some people have already understood that they have indeed lost, and they are still a little unconvinced. Hearing Mr. He's words The explanation also has to admit that it makes sense.

"This one is the work of Xuanyuan Junjie." No need for Mr. He's explanation, everyone can see that this piece of writing is more colorful than the previous one, and different from the previous one's arbitrariness, the writing style of this one is sharper , Liu Xizai in the Qing Dynasty said: "Writers write aspirations", "Calligraphy is like learning, talent, ambition, and in short, just like a person."Just like Xuanyuan Junjie, his handwriting is very masculine, and his strokes are as sharp as a sword, strong and powerful, and the ancient generals' handwriting is no more than this.Naturally, the layout of this calligraphy and painting is not bad, at least those who have thought hard about how to arrange it cannot write such characters, so their faces are unavoidably ugly.

In the end, Mr. He took out Shan Qiang's handwriting, gave him an appreciative glance, and said, "Anzhi can write such good handwriting at such a young age, it's really the wave behind the Yangtze River that pushes the wave ahead."

The sky is healthy, and the gentleman strives for self-improvement; the terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with virtue.These twenty characters are a sentence in the Book of Changes, which embodies the gentleman's character of generosity, obedience, fortitude and perseverance.It just so happened that the words Shan Qiang wrote today matched the theme reflected in these twenty characters, and it was majestic; it just so happened that Shan Qiang used his usual writing style today, and the writing was very smooth and natural.In the end, what everyone saw was that the strokes of these twenty characters were all warm and smooth, but they penetrated the back of the paper, and the gaps between the characters and the strokes were all just right. The whole picture showed a kind of domineering and tenacity.What's even better is that bit of vermilion, between black and white, like the finishing touch, the soft color neutralizes the sharpness of the picture, giving people a sense of gentleness and generosity.

Everyone was speechless. Based on their experience, it is generally difficult for people under the age of 50 to write such calligraphy, because calligraphy changes with age and mood. Experienced?
