The masters of calligraphy in the Song and Ming dynasties were too brilliant, so they were always shrouded under the system of the Two Wangs and Yan Liu. The masters of calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty were still prosperous. However, calligraphy masters such as Jin Nong opened up stele studies, inheriting the style of the Han and Wei dynasties, and then forming the unified calligraphy pattern into a situation where flowers bloomed.

Modern calligraphy and stele style are still the same, but in the past few decades, the lack of attention in calligraphy has made the inheritance a little broken. In addition, in the aesthetic concepts of modern people today, fonts like Yan Liu are more in line with the aesthetic concepts of modern people, so the works of Dong Qichang, Zhao Mengfu, Huang Tingjian and others have repeatedly hit new highs in auction prices.

However, the charm of calligraphy lies in the cultural heritage it can contain, such as the lacquer script written by Zhong Yue. It can find legacy from the official script of the Han Dynasty and the Wei steles of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Such historical heritage makes the work more timely sense, which is also the reason why Han Qiping is so excited.

When Wu Zhonghe heard this excited voice, his heart suddenly became cold. Is this really the case?

Zhong Yue clamped the label on the felt paper and walked out of the hall under everyone's astonished gaze.

"Zhong Yue, why are you so stupid? These four treasures of the study are equivalent to the sword in the hands of a swordsman. If you listen to me earlier and buy a good one, how could you cause so much trouble?"

Looking at Gu Qin's worried look, Zhong Yue carried his schoolbag on his shoulder, "Have you seen Mr. Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

"I like Qiao Feng."

Zhong Yue looked speechless, "The sweeping monk can beat Qiao Feng's father if he takes a broom, which means that his kung fu has reached a certain level of skill, and all weapons are the same."

"You just want to say you are amazing? Why are you so shameless?"

"Ha ha."

...

Calligraphy works have been collected one after another, and there are many famous seals that look like works by famous artists at first glance, like dog skin plaster, pressing them one by one. If the works themselves have high artistic content, it is naturally understandable, but the works are not well-founded, and these fancy things are even more offensive.

Just like the two kings and Yan Liu's works, even if there are any tutus and changes, they can be sold at sky-high prices. But modern works, tutus and changes? Sorry, I can't even go to the auction hall.

"Mr. Liu, look at this picture. This is the work of Yang Zhiqing, a graduate student at our Academy of Fine Arts. Is it very potential?"

"This place, this place, and here, are all sick pens. It is obvious that the details are not handled properly enough." Liu Shao'e was ruthless when evaluating the works of these students. If something is wrong, she pointed out directly. Indeed, on-site calligraphy and painting are different from other types of copying. They can be practiced dozens or even hundreds of times, and pay more attention to personal mood and performance, so she can better see the level of her level.

"What about this one? This one is our Academy of Fine Arts..."

"Director Wu, today's competition was indeed jointly organized by the Municipal Calligraphy Association and your school, but I wonder if Director Wu can let us, the useless old men and women, take a look at it yourself. If you are not satisfied with the selected works, you can change them."

Wu Zhonghe's face was stunned, "I dare not, don't you dare. You are all famous calligraphy masters in the city. How dare Zhonghe show off his skills? Since you ask you to come and be a judge, you will naturally trust you."

Zhang Shaolin, Huang Mingchuan and Cai Weiyong, the old backbone of the calligraphy association, picked up from a bunch of works, and occasionally asked Liu Shao'e what she meant, picked out some works that she thought were good, and put them aside, and picked out the felt paper that made Wu Zhonghe explode.

Although the crane stands out from the crowd, it can be seen clearly that the ragged felt paper is too conspicuous, so conspicuous that Wu Zhonghe wishes to tear it to pieces immediately.

"These nine works are preliminary selected masterpieces. In this way, there are eleven people here. If you think that one is better, you will vote for which one. The one with the highest vote is the gold medal, and the one with the second one is the silver medal. How about it?"

A middle-aged calligrapher from the Calligraphy Association smiled and said, "Why should Mr. Liu be so humble? You just have to make the decision."

"I'm afraid this will be unfair. Some people feel uncomfortable, so it's better for everyone to vote together."

Zhang Shaolin, as the director of the Cultural Center, smiled, looked at Wu Zhonghe, and shook his head, "Mr. Liu's reputation is the first-class in today's calligraphy, Chinese studies and music. Will this little competition still not be able to make decisions?"

"Prefer to vote."

Han Qiping was not polite, "Then I think this lacquer book is better."

"I think this one is pretty good, too."

"I think this Lanting Preface is a good imitation."

“…”

More than a dozen people expressed their opinions. In the end, Zhong Yue's lacquer book work actually received three votes of support, and he tied with the elegant and handsome Lanting Xu imitation.

Zhang Shaolin smiled and said, "It seems that this fate is just about these two works. Mr. Liu, it depends on your precious vote. I think you are optimistic about these two works, right?" If Liu Shao'e voted for other works, then this idea will be the director who will come to take it.

Wu Zhonghe's face was already ugly, because these two works were not from the Academy of Fine Arts. One was naturally the work of Zhong Yue's lacquer book that he disapproved the most, and the other was a closed disciple of a late calligrapher in the city. Because he was still young, he came to participate in the competition. The students from the Academy of Fine Arts came the most and were eventually destroyed. If you say this, his calligraphy department director had no glory on his face.

"Then let me evaluate these two works first, and you can see if I say it is reasonable and fair. First of all, this Lanting Preface imitation is better than this inconspicuous Jinnong lacquer book, whether from the perspective of appearance or fluency. This idle seal combination is also pleasing to the eye."

Several calligraphers in the city nodded one after another. Indeed, this imitation of Lanting Preface is already the best among young calligraphers' works.

"However, the reason why the votes are only half, you should understand that imitations should also pay attention to charm. This work is too deliberately pursuing the similarity of strokes, and ignores the coherence of some brushwork, and some details are a bit dull."

Han Qiping nodded and responded: "Mr. Liu's evaluation hits the point. Indeed, this Wang Lang's work is half as skilled as his teacher Qi Gong back then, but it is still a bit worse in terms of Shen Yun."

Why can a good calligraphy work be passed down for thousands of years and still be fascinated by the world is not because its paper and ink is expensive, but because of its own charm, artistic value, and added value to it. It has nothing but a form, just like a corpse that has been evacuated from the soul. Even if it is imitated, it will not be angry.

"Let's look at this lacquer book work. Although the paper is rough and the ink is not exquisite, I still get three votes, which shows that I have put a lot of effort into the brushwork and charm.

In the past few decades, because I was busy with production and development, I ignored these national quintessence arts that should have been promoted and inherited. Now that everyone's living standards have improved, their pursuit of spirituality has also improved. However, I want to look back and continue the original cut-off inheritance, and find that I can't do it.

There are too few middle-aged and young calligraphers who can carry tripods. I don’t say how excellent this work is. At least, it is only one I have seen in my life that can write Jinnong lacquer so charmingly."

Wu Zhonghe frowned and pointed to the annoying felt paper, "Mr. Liu, calligraphy emphasizes brushwork and calligraphy, in addition to ink techniques, brushstrokes and other essentials. In my opinion, this student did not handle this ink technique well, far from Wang Lang's work."

"Director Wu said it well, but I decided to vote for Zhong Yue."

Liu Shao'e stood up.

"The method of lacquer calligraphy and ink is to use a special '500 kilogram of oil'. It is difficult to show lacquer books to such a level with such inferior Chengu chemical ink and felt paper with good water absorption. However, I think it will take ten years to see the lacquer calligraphy in terms of charm."
