After listening to the lecture in the afternoon, Lu Qingyan walked out of the campus, got into a taxi, and headed to a house in Chaoyang District.
Logically speaking, she could ask Luo Ji to drive her whenever she was traveling, but she felt that Luo Ji was over fifty and should stay at home to recuperate, and the place she was going to was not a strange place, so she didn't call him.
Arriving at the door of the courtyard, she took out a scroll and a bag of fruit from her storage bracelet and knocked on the door.
After a while, the courtyard door opened.
There are many people in the yard, like stars holding the moon, surrounding the famous painter Jiang Mei.
Today is Jiang Mei's sixtieth birthday, and Lu Qingyan, a disciple, also came to wish her birthday.
Lu Qingyan does not take painting as a career, but her painting level is very high. Although she has majored in mathematics in recent years, she still writes and splashes ink when she has free time, and she has not completely given up painting. She just didn't exhibit and sell her recent paintings.
She took a painting she created and presented it to her master.
Today, in addition to her family members, there are also students she has recruited over the years and several friends from the art academy who came to wish Jiang Mei a happy birthday.
Jiang Mei unfolded the painting, her eyes lit up, and she praised: "What a painting of "Kunlun Sea of Clouds"! The glow of the sun shines, the atmosphere is endless, the sea and the sky are the same color, and the current is turbulent! Qingyan, your level has improved again, and you are the best among the younger generation. He is not far away from becoming a great painter."
Most of those students had never met Lu Qingyan and didn't know who she was. However, after looking at the painting, they understood that she was the teacher's proud disciple.
But looking at the gifts she brought, apart from the paintings, there was only a bag of fruit, which seemed a bit shabby.
But the teacher personally accepted the bag of fruit and carefully put it back into the room, as if he was afraid of being eaten by others.
80% of Jiangmei’s students are women, ranging in age from seventy-eight to thirty-something, almost all ages.
A plump woman in her thirties smiled and asked, "My name is Wan Chunyu, junior sister, your name is Qingyan? What's your surname?"
Lu Qingyan smiled and replied: "Sister Wan, my surname is Lu."
"How many years have you been studying painting with your master?"
"It should be 6 years ago."
"Strange, why haven't I seen you? My family lives nearby. My dad is also a painter, but his major is oil painting. I don't like oil painting, so when I was ten years old, I studied Chinese painting with Teacher Jiang. So I I know all the master’s disciples very well, so you are a surprise. I didn’t know that the master had accepted a talented female disciple like you.”
"Senior sister, you've given me the prize. I've been studying painting with my master every summer since I was 13 years old. After I came to Beijing to study at the age of 16, I come here every three months, always in the evening."
"Which school are you studying in? Have you graduated?"
"Peking University School of Mathematics, starting graduate school."
"Ah?" Wan Chunyu and the female disciples were all surprised. Painting and mathematics were two very different majors. How could this girl with an outstanding fairy-like appearance and good painting skills study mathematics?
In fact, painting and mathematics are by no means unrelated! Under the premise of a strong connection and natural interest, art and mathematics often meet unexpectedly, creating wonderful sparks.
From "proportion", "perspective", "symmetry", "light and shade" to "mapping", many world-famous paintings contain mathematical elements. For example, Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and his apprentice Raphael's "School of Athens" are among the representatives.
The same is true for traditional Chinese painting. For example, Zheng Banqiao is good at painting bamboo. He said: "The bamboo in the heart is not the bamboo in the eye. Therefore, the ink is spread on the paper, and the pen is slightly disguised. The bamboo in the hand is not the bamboo in the heart. In short, the intention comes first."
Zheng Banqiao's artistic concept highlights an important mathematical concept: mapping. He gave three spaces: objective space, subjective space and model space.
On the other side, Jiang Mei smiled at several friends and said: "My apprentice is very talented in painting. Although I have only studied for a few years, I have a deep attainment in traditional Chinese painting. It's a pity that she doesn't want to be a full-time painter, so I have to I feel heartbroken and regretful. Every time I think about it, I feel like God is playing a joke on me."
These friends all went to the Beijing Art Academy and knew that talent and hard work are indispensable. In these days, many parents send their children to learn painting, but most of them do it just to cultivate their interest, and those who truly become talents are rare.
One of the gray-haired old men said: "How about I help you persuade her? Let her name her in the art academy, open a studio for her, and ask her to be a lecturer in the training class?"
Jiang Mei shook her head: "Dean Zhang, please stop trying to persuade her. This child has her own ideas. I made suggestions to her before, but she declined them politely."

Another woman in her fifties asked in a low voice: "**, how old is this apprentice of yours? Does he have a partner? If not, can you hook up with my son? You know my eldest son Zhu Qi, Working as an associate professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts..."
Jiang Mei waved her hand: "Li Tong, please stop talking. I don't dare to agree to this kind of thing. Qingyan calls me teacher, that's a sign of respect for me. I'm just a little painter, I know my own weight, in the world She has no say in her marriage and love affairs."
"**, you are a teacher, why are you so polite to your apprentice?"
"My apprentice is no small feat. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has even won a grand prize in mathematics. She is like a wild goose flying in the sky, or like a roc flapping its wings." Before Jiang Mei could finish her words, she spoke with profound meaning. It seems to be saying: "Don't be a toad and want to eat swan meat"!
Li Tong curled his lips slightly and thought: "Huh! Even if you are a fairy, why don't you get married?"
Because Jiang Mei was the birthday girl, Li Tong didn't want to make her angry, so he kept silent.
It was getting dusk and the banquet was set.
Li Tong took advantage of her time in the toilet to search for "Lu Qingyan" on her mobile phone, and the results she got surprised her.
There is an entry for "Lu Qingyan" on Baidu Encyclopedia. She has won two gold medals in Guqin competitions, a champion in a Go competition, and first prizes in three calligraphy competitions. A "Xuanpu Landscape" has changed hands several times, and the latest auction price is 43 million yuan. ! Moreover, she is also a mathematician. She won the Newanglina Prize at the age of 18. She was revered as the "Lu Shen" by her classmates in the School of Mathematics at Peking University and became a key talent cultivated by the country.
Among Lu Qingyan's connections, there is also a younger brother, Lu Qingshan, who is a great national Go player at a young age.
After understanding this information, Li Tong almost gave up. She thought to herself: "It is said on the Internet that Lu Qingyan is only 19 years old. How can she have so many achievements at such a young age? Who are her parents? Who can raise such a pair of children? Although my son is excellent, compared with them, It’s still a little bit worse.”
Li Tong’s son is 30 years old and is an associate professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. How many associate professors are there in China? Not to mention associate professors, even professors are numerous. But Lu Qingyan is a rare talent at the national level, a true pride of heaven.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, after the dinner, Lu Qingyan took a taxi home.
After returning home, she closed her eyes and practiced the "Seven Postures of the Black Bird" and the "Visualization Technique of the Wooden God Jumang" with her eyes closed.
She remembered her parents' advice and understood that everything in the world was mostly illusion, and only her own skill was the most important. Therefore, she devoted her main energy to cultivation, and her secondary energy to mathematical research. The rest of her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting were all minor details.
