Peach is plump and juicy, quenching thirst and cravings.
Li Shi wolfed down three pills in a row before falling asleep with satisfaction.
Because it was almost five o'clock in the morning when he went to bed, it was too late, so he rarely got up until nine o'clock.
Looking at Wang Yuelan who was still sleeping soundly next to him, her pretty face was powdered and as juicy as the peach he ate last night. Li Shi smiled, knowing that she was really tired, so he got out of bed carefully, went to the kitchen, and did it himself After eating a big bowl of egg noodles, I started to think about learning calligraphy.
Since I started drinking tea, in addition to the study room, tea sets have also been placed on the side of the island connecting the dining room and the living room.
After brewing a pot of Yinzhen, Li Shi held the teacup and turned around to look at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Compared with the river that has been floating for countless years, the high-rise buildings on both sides look young and immature.
He was in an extremely comfortable mood, better than ever.
The effect of harmonizing Yin and Yang last night was good. At this time, my body was clear and my mind was clear, and my body and mind were not dry.
After drinking two cups of tea to relieve his appetite, Li Shi went to the sofa in the living room, picked up his tablet and continued to search for information related to calligraphy learning.
After searching again and again, everything finally came down to two words - Lin Tie.
Whether it is people today or people in ancient times, including those calligraphers who left their names in history, they all started learning calligraphy from "linting".
This result suddenly reminded Li Shi that he had read a story about Wang Xizhi eating ink when he was a child.
He searched and actually found this little story on the Internet.
It is said that the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi learned calligraphy from Mrs. Wei when he was a child. Because of his high talent and hard work, he made rapid progress. By the time he was eleven years old, his handwriting had already made Mrs. Wei, a great calligrapher, lament that this son would become a better calligrapher. Her achievements will definitely exceed hers. But Wang Xizhi was not complacent and continued to practice hard. One day during lunch, the boy brought him his favorite mashed garlic and steamed buns. Because he was so immersed in reading and writing, he mistook the ink for mashed garlic and used it. Eating the steamed buns with the dip in them made the mouth full of black...
When I read this story when I was a child, I saw "concentration and hard work", but now when I read it again, Li Shi focuses on "preparation".
“Even calligraphers start by reading and copying calligraphy!”
Linting naturally refers to the practice of copying the good calligraphy works and copybooks of predecessors when learning calligraphy to learn the essence of calligraphers.
There are three methods for Lin Tie, which are arranged in a progressive order: opposite Lin, back Lin and Yi Lin.
Face it, put the copybook in front of your eyes, read and write one stroke.
I didn't look at the copybook, I just wrote down the words based on my impression.
When writing copybooks, focus on the movement of Qi and the overall charm and artistic conception.
Of course not. Before copying the copybook, many beginners can also copy it first, that is, cover the copybook with thin paper and copy it.
Li Shi found a picture of Zhang Yan Zhenqing's "Duobao Pagoda Stele" on the Internet. He got up and went to the study room, studied the ink, and then stared at the first line of the picture for a long time.
"The Duobao Buddha in the Thousand Buddhas Temple in Xijing of the Tang Dynasty..."
At first, he only used his keen observation to observe the strokes of these words, but as he looked at them, he unconsciously began to appreciate the structure of the copybook and the beauty emanating from the writing.
"Tsk, tsk, I really have billions of talents in calligraphy!"
He was not in a hurry, and read the ten words repeatedly for seven or eight minutes. Finally, he stared at the two words "Datang" and pondered for three or four minutes. Then he stopped writing and dipping in ink, facing the copybook, and started writing.
The first time: Datang.
After looking at it, he found that he only had a seventy-eighth portrait. For him who had super strong pen control ability and had already shown an amazing copying talent in painting studies, he was naturally not very satisfied, so he compared it repeatedly, and then wrote the second one. Second time and third time.
Looking at the words written for the third time, they are already ninety-five points similar in shape.
Li Shi nodded complacently.
"Facts have proved that copying this step is not necessary for me, I can just compare it directly."
He put down his pen, picked up his tablet, and began to collect resources on major famous posts in history.
Regular script - the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Epitaph of Yuanhuai in the Northern Wei Dynasty", "Cuan Longyan Stele", etc.; Chu Suiliang's "Yin Fu Jing" and "Yanta Sacred Preface"; Ouyang Xun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription"; Yu Shinan's "Confucius Temple Stele" "; Yan Zhenqing's "Qinli Stele", etc.; Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Tower Stele" and "Shence Army Stele"; Zhao Mengfu's "Three Gates"...
The running scripts include Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface"; Li Yong's "Li Sixun Stele"; Yan Zhenqing's "Memorial to Nephew Manuscript"; Su Shi's "Han Shi Poems"; Huang Tingjian's "Songfeng Pavilion Poems"; Mi Fu's "Shu Su Tie" and "Tiaoxi Poems" 》……
The cursive scripts include Huang Xiang's "Jijiuzhang"; Wang Xizhi's "Seventeen Tie"; Huaisu's "Self-narrative Tie" and "Notre Dame Tie"; Huang Tingjian's "Li Bai's Recalls of Old Travel Poems", "Zhushang Tie" and so on.
He is now looking for resources online, and he is very familiar with it, and he quickly found a lot of high-definition resources.
Not satisfied with this alone, he opened the shopping software again and searched for books and rubbings.
It has to be said that it is much easier for modern people to obtain learning resources than it was for ancient people.
After this search, a lot of books came out. Li Shi simply selected more than 20 books.
After finishing all this work, Li Shi began his first real post-writing study.
If it were another beginner, it would be very important to choose which calligrapher's copybook to copy. However, Li Shi's current situation naturally cannot be measured by common sense, and he has a long-term goal and has already made up his mind to win the lottery. This will help you build your own path to become a master in the future.
So there is no need to think about these and just continue to start with Yan Zhenqing's "Duobao Pagoda Stele".
Still those ten words at the beginning——
"The Duobao Buddha in the Thousand Buddhas Temple in Xijing of the Tang Dynasty..."
He has faced it repeatedly, and he now has very good study habits. No matter how urgent he is, he does not rush in learning. He studies slowly - every time he copies, he must stop and compare and study repeatedly, and then copy again. twice.
I did this twenty times and wrote two hundred words. More than an hour passed.
Li Shi put down his pen and thought, for now, he should focus on studying Chinese history, and he would only write two hundred words every day.
Looking at the copying exercises piled up on the desk, he felt very emotional for a moment.
He took out his latest portable notebook from the desk drawer, turned to the last page, and looked at the analysis of the master's selection written on it. He couldn't help but sigh that the plan could not keep up with the changes.
"We measure, we measure. I never thought that I would end up focusing on calligraphy."
"It's really a bit like 'Looking back suddenly, that person is in the dim light'."
Coming out of the study, Li Shi heard some movement in the dining room and walked over.
As soon as I walked to the door of the restaurant, I saw Wang Yuelan walking towards the kitchen from behind.
She was wearing a black sweatshirt and yoga pants, holding a vegetable basket in her hand. She had just picked vegetables and was about to put them in the kitchen.
Li Shi blinked.
I didn’t want to see the peach again so soon.
Eryang still has a huge impact on my brain. When I use my brain, I feel that strenuous feeling after the memory is full. I'm going to adjust adjust.
