Quancheng, Qingquan Villa.
Lu Cheng continued to practice the Blood Boosting Technique and the Heavenly Dog Swallowing the Sun and the Moon. On this day, another meridian was finally opened, leaving the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, which could not be completely penetrated.
In a blink of an eye, the weekend came, and Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun returned to Dai City with a cow and two sheep, as well as rice wine and red wine.
He divided the cattle and sheep into two parts and sent them to his home and Jiang Qiuyun's home respectively.
Two people would get tired of eating so much beef and mutton, so I wanted to share some with my family.
Jiang Qiuyun brought a box of brushes to her father: "Dad, this is a brush carefully made by Lu Cheng. Someone wants to buy it for 200,000 yuan. How about you give it a try."
Jiang Fangcheng opened the box and took a look and found a set of writing brushes of different sizes. The pen barrel was made of green bamboo, the tip was white, and the cilia were long and slender. He said, "It looks good, then I'll give it a try."
He is a famous calligrapher in the country. It will be more convincing if he tries his handwriting.
Jiang Fangcheng spread out the rice paper and wrote a paragraph: "The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao..."
The pen moves like a dragon and the ink falls on the paper. The words seem to come alive. Each one is vivid and lively. The pen is used in the center, which has a three-dimensional effect. When viewed against the sun, there is a wisp of thick ink in the center of the painting. Stipple lines are full, round, thick and round. The overall layout is appropriately sparse and dense, with white as black; smooth and balanced, with right and wrong complementing each other; scattered and varied.
What's more important is that those words have "spirit".
Look, originally refers to the look and brilliance of a person's face. The spirit in calligraphy refers to the spirit, style, temperament, interest and meaning revealed in the stipple lines and their structural combinations.
"Appearance is the most important, followed by form and quality. Only those who have both can be introduced to the ancients." It shows that the spirit is higher than the "form and quality" of the form and appearance of the stipple lines and their structural layout. The form and quality are the premise and foundation for the existence of the spirit.
Pursuing brilliance and expressing one's soul has always been the high realm that calligraphers strive for.
The acquisition of spirit in calligraphy, on the one hand, depends on the proficiency of creative skills, which is the premise and foundation; on the other hand, only when the creative mind is calm and comfortable, the hands in the creative center are free, and the things and I are forgotten, can we write the true feelings and nature. , integrate your own knowledge and aesthetic taste.
As a great calligrapher, Jiang Fangcheng used to write. It will also touch on "spirit".
But this time it's different.
The rice paper is spread out on the table, and between the lines, there seems to be clear spring water, tinkling in the winter. No one is seen in the empty mountain, but the sound of people's voices is heard, and the scene returns to the deep forest and shines on the moss.
Jiang Qiuyun's heavenly orifice opened a crack. She originally didn't know the art of looking at qi, but after reading the first chapter of "Tao Te Ching" written by her father, she suddenly felt that the crack in the heavenly orifice above her head had doubled in size, and rich spiritual energy fell from the sky. , instilled into her body!
She saw a white mist on the rice paper, like the morning mist in the mountains!
Those lines of writing are like earthworms attracting auspicious dragons, attracting spiritual energy from the air, and densely surrounding the rice paper!
"Dad, this calligraphy you wrote has reached Taoism!"
There is such a calligraphy, hanging in the room, under the dense aura, which can improve the quality of people's life and achieve the effect of prolonging life!
Jiang Fangcheng also felt refreshed, and even the air he breathed felt sweet.
He couldn't help but laugh "Haha": "What a pen, what a calligraphy! This calligraphy is my pinnacle work! I want to express it and hang it in the living room!"
His calligraphy level was originally ranked among the top in the country. If this calligraphy was used for evaluation or auction, he might jump to the top and become a contemporary calligraphy saint!
Therefore, Jiang Fangcheng was very happy and couldn't put it down for this set of brushes.
Jiang Qiuyun asked: "Dad, do you think this set of pens is worth 200,000?"
Jiang Fangcheng said: "200,000 is not enough! Even 2 million is still in demand! Do you know how much my calligraphy would be worth if it were put up for auction?"
"Dad, I heard that calligraphy is not valuable. Traditional Chinese painting is valuable."
"Nonsense, you know that as early as 2010, a calligraphy painting by Huang Tingjian sold for 430 million!"
"I'm saying contemporary calligraphy isn't worth much."
"It also depends on who wrote it! It also depends on the charm of the calligraphy. Just like this calligraphy, if you put it up for auction, you can set the reserve price at 5 million!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Qiuyun agreed: "Dad, this calligraphy has a rhyme to it! Don't take it out easily! If you keep it in the living room, it will live for at least ten more years!"
Jiang Fangcheng was overjoyed: "Haha, I think so too! It makes me happy! Xiaoyun, how do you get along with Lu Cheng?"
"Dad, it's good."
"Your mother and I want to hold an engagement ceremony for you, what do you think?"
"Wait a minute. I made an agreement with Lu Cheng to wait until next summer."
Jiang Fangcheng looked at his daughter and suddenly said: "Xiaoyun, have you grown taller again? Stand in the corner and I will measure you!"
Jiang Qiuyun stood by the wall and asked her father to put a ruler on top of her head, and then use a tape measure to measure. It turned out that her height measured barefoot was 1.71 meters.
"Huh? You are 19 years old, can you still grow taller?"
"Well, in the past year, I have grown another 4 centimeters."
"It seems that Lu Cheng is also a lot taller?"
"Yes, he grew 10 centimeters taller."
"strangeness!"
Jiang Qiuyun knew that this was due to cultivation, continuous supplementation, and marrow cleansing pills that cut hair and cleansed the marrow, which changed the density of the bones and increased the thickness of the intervertebral discs, so he grew a few centimeters taller. I don’t know if it will grow another two or three centimeters this year.
Her current height can be used as a print model, which is 1 centimeter short of the requirement for a T-stage model.
Models are divided into flat models and T-stage models. Flat models are 160-172cm tall, and T-stage models are over 172cm tall. The bust is about 85 cm, the waist is 62 cm, the hips are 90 cm, the shoulder width is 38-42 cm, and the body proportions are among the highest. It’s best to have it above 10 centimeters, and if your legs are straight, it’s best to have them straight.
Jiang Qiuyun basically met these conditions. Meeting these requirements is no big deal. What is more important is the charm and temperament from the inside to the outside, which requires a long period of study and practice.
As a writer, I am full of poetry and calligraphy.
As a monk, he is spiritual on the inside and peaceful on the outside. Seeing it is like a woman, snatching it is like a tiger. As quiet as a virgin, as active as a stray rabbit. The shape of the cloth, the weather, and the spirit go together.
At the mountainside villa a few miles away, Lu Cheng also brought a set of pens to his father, Lu Tianming. However, Lu Tianming is not a great calligrapher, so he is not too concerned about this set of brushes. Not that every archaeologist is a calligrapher. Comparatively speaking, he was more interested in the meat and wine that Lu Cheng brought back.
"Son, the beef and mutton you brought back are good. Where did you get them?"
"A gift from a friend, yak and Shandan mutton from Gansu."
“What Shandan mutton?”
"Shandan mutton is produced in Shandan County, ZY City. It is not only delicious, but also a pure natural green food. It is suitable for all seasons. Even people who are not good meat eaters like to eat Shandan mutton. Especially pregnant women, the weak and the elderly. Eating Shandan mutton can replenish vital energy, nourish yin and strengthen yang, and prolong life. Shandan mutton is a traditional local product with a long history in the Hexi Corridor. It has no fishy smell, delicious meat and unique taste. Currently, there are 'Plateau Dragon' and ' There are two mutton brands in Yanzhi Mountain. What my friend sent is Yanzhi goat meat."
"So that's it."
