Before Yang Haoran left Huaiyuan City, Feng Zhitong had been accompanying him.
Although the time was short, I still learned a lot.
Of course, the main reason is that Feng Zhitong is a master of calligraphy and painting with a profound foundation, and many places can suddenly become clear to him with just a few clicks.
Yang Haoran's few words are full of wise sayings about calligraphy and painting.
There are also many lost ancient techniques, which have benefited Feng Zhitong a lot.
Although he did not understand it immediately, Feng Zhitong still kept Yang Haoran's teachings deeply in his heart.
After Yang Haoran left, Feng Zhitong began to live in seclusion.
Following Yang Haoran's guidance, he found his own shortcomings and began the creative process with great concentration.
Two months of creative retreat was an essential sublimation for Feng Zhitong.
All the things Yang Haoran taught have been understood by Feng Zhitong and integrated into his own painting and calligraphy.
The original Feng Zhitong was somewhat famous in the Chinese calligraphy and painting circles, but at most he was considered a master.
After that retreat, he created a painting called "Picture of a Fishing Man in the Mountains and Rivers" that immediately shocked the Chinese calligraphy and painting circles.
The transcendent artistic conception of the works and the profound foundation of calligraphy and painting itself have impressed all colleagues in the field of calligraphy and painting.
There are even a few masters in the field of calligraphy and painting who have publicly stated that Feng Zhitong's attainments in calligraphy and painting are already above theirs.
One painting made him a god, and Feng Zhitong instantly became famous.
From the original master of calligraphy and painting, he was instantly promoted to the rank of master of calligraphy and painting.
If it were Feng Zhitong from before, he would have been so excited that he couldn't control himself.
But today, Feng Zhitong has not only made great progress in calligraphy and painting, but his own state of mind has also changed greatly.
Regarding the arrival of fame and fortune, Feng Zhitong just took it indifferently, and was only slightly excited at the beginning.
He knew very well that the modest achievements he had today were all due to his master.
If he had not taken Yang Haoran as his teacher, he might have stagnated in his life.
In addition, the reason why Feng Zhitong was able to remain calm was not only because of the cultivation of his state of mind.
Rather, I have some feelings about how it was difficult to overcome the difficulties.
Because even though Feng Zhitong was already known as a master of calligraphy and painting, he still felt ashamed when he saw the works left by Yang Haoran.
There is a feeling of looking up at a high mountain.
Perhaps in terms of calligraphy and painting skills, Feng Zhitong and Yang Haoran are comparable.
But in terms of the artistic conception of calligraphy and painting, Feng Zhitong felt that he and Yang Haoran were too far apart.
Feng Zhitong's works have been praised as transcendent.
But when he looked at Yang Haoran's works, even a simple word contained a whole world.
It is a state of complete integration with heaven and earth.
Maybe that is the Tao? It is a realm that can be encountered but cannot be sought!
"Teacher, I'm so happy to see you!"
Dai Mingli said slightly excitedly, and at the same time presented a new work he had brought with both hands.
Feng Zhiyi took the painting with a serious face, walked to the coffee table and spread it out.
Dai Mingli followed him fearfully, as nervous as a primary school student.
"My calligraphy and painting skills have improved slightly, but my grasp of artistic conception has not improved at all!"
Dai Mingli's face turned red. No matter how prosperous he was outside, he would still feel embarrassed in front of his teacher.
"What the teacher taught me was that I also noticed it.
But this thing is, after all, ethereal and elusive.
Maybe it requires talent. No matter how hard I try, I can't grasp the essence of the artistic conception.
It’s even more difficult to express what you feel in your heart through works.” Let’s write a novel.
Feng Zhiyi looked solemn: "If you want to become a qualified calligrapher and painter, just calligraphy and painting techniques are enough.
But if you want to further become a master, or even a master, you must work hard on the artistic conception of calligraphy and painting.
If I hadn't met your master, it would be difficult for me to understand this.
It’s about grasping the artistic conception. It’s hard for me to see your master’s neck now!
It’s not that you don’t have enough talent, it’s that you have too little talent.
If you want to go further, after this competition, don’t participate in any activities for the time being, and calm down and retreat for a while.”
Dai Mingli replied respectfully: "I will definitely obey the teacher's orders."
Then he frowned slightly, seeming hesitant.
But he finally mustered up the courage to look at Feng Zhitong.
"Teacher, is my master really that powerful?
You are now recognized as a master figure in the world of calligraphy and painting. To say such humble things as "Nan Wangxiangbei" is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"
Feng Zhitong was not a grumpy person, but he became furious after hearing Dai Mingli's question.
"Shut up, never say such treacherous words in the future!
Because you have never met your master, it is naturally difficult to appreciate your master’s profoundness!
Your mind is too complicated and bound by the world, so it is difficult to make progress.
In your opinion, is the so-called master of calligraphy and painting the ultimate?
Wrong, not at all! Especially in front of your master, the so-called master of calligraphy and painting is simply a joke!"
Dai Mingli looked ugly, lowered his head and said nothing.
He rarely saw his teacher lose such a big temper, and he was really frightened this time.
Feng Zhitong sighed, with a look of reverence flashing in his eyes.
"The so-called masters of calligraphy and painting can at best be called painters, but they are still bound to the secular ways of calligraphy and painting.
And your master has already broken through the shackles and reached the realm of Tao.
We are just creating calligraphy and painting, and your master is describing a world!"
Feng Zhiyi looked at Dai Mingli with regret and shook his head repeatedly.
"You are my most proud disciple, and I have high expectations for you.
It's a pity that your master's whereabouts are erratic, otherwise I would definitely let you go and see your master.
Even if your master scolds you a few words, it is still a great opportunity for you!"
Dai Mingli said yes again and again, and the master and the disciple sighed for a while.
Two days passed quickly and all auditions were over.
A total of 10,317 contestants qualified to participate in the preliminaries.
Due to the large number of people, the preliminaries this time were divided into five venues.
Fan Tingting and the others were assigned to the second sub-venue.
Before the preliminaries started, Yang Haoran and four people rushed to the branch venue in advance.
What Yang Haoran didn't expect was that he originally wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to become a celebrity.
Mainly because the group of four children led by one person was too conspicuous. As soon as they entered the venue, they were pointed at and surrounded.
"Look, they are coming!"
"Who's here? What's the fuss about?"
"It's the training teacher leading four eleven or twelve-year-old children. You haven't heard about it, right?
That thing has gone viral now!”
"Are you talking about the children who refused to accept Master Dai as his disciples in public?"
