After the lunch break, Yang Li took out a large number of pens, inks, paper and inkstones that she purchased from the Chenghuang Temple and held a "calligraphy class" in the lobby of the Xinghai.
"This afternoon, we will teach calligraphy according to Aunt Yang Li's request," Zhou Yan said, glancing at the beans standing in a row, "If any of you have studied calligraphy, raise your hands..."
All the children over ten years old raised their hands.
"Yes," Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "I have a question, when you were in calligraphy class, did your teacher introduce you to the Four Treasures of the Study?"
Several older children shook their heads.
"When it comes to calligraphy, we must first trace the origin of writing..."
The original function of writing is to record events.
But for the ancients in the ignorant era, there was nothing more important than offering sacrifices.
When the ancestors of China had abundant supplies and offered sacrifices, they used animal bones or tortoise shells.
When bones or armor are cracked by fire, there will be various patterns. Based on these patterns, the priests will judge the good or bad luck and record them side by side. This is how the original writing - oracle bone inscriptions were created.
With the accumulation of the number of sacrificial activities, the writing gradually became richer, and the writing gradually spread from the sacrificial activities to the tribal nobles.
Later, the tribe gradually gained the ability to smelt bronze vessels, and writing also transferred from oracle bones to bronze vessels, and gradually evolved into bronze inscriptions...
As writing gradually evolved, the carrier of writing gradually changed from bronze to bamboo slips, silk, and finally to paper, an artificial composite material with stable chemical properties and a "life span of thousands of years."
In the process of the evolution of text-carrying media, the tools for "making" text evolved from fire and knives to pens, and the medium for carrying text also came from scratch, giving rise to ink...
"The appearance of ink may have occurred earlier than inscriptions on gold. Do you know why?"
"Uncle Zhou, I know!" Xu Jiajia, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, smiled and raised her hand, "The charcoal produced by burning wood can be used to write!"
"Yes!" Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "However, charcoal is loose and easy to dirty hands. After a long period of evolution, ink ingots appeared..."
With that said, Zhou Yan took an ink ingot from the table.
"Do you know why Mo became like this?"
"easy to carry!"
"Can save it!"
“Easy to use!”
"Yes." Seeing the little kids answering enthusiastically, Zhou Yan added with a smile, "The most important point is that ancient ink is not as stable as today's ink..."
"Now that we have the ink ingots," Zhou Yan picked up the inkstone purchased by Yang Li on the table to make up the numbers, "we need an inkstone that can turn the ink ingots into ink..."
"Uncle Zhou, I heard from my dad that you are very good at Chinese painting. Can you introduce it to us?" Xu Zihui, the eccentric young master of the Xu family, posed a problem to Zhou Yan.
"Both domestic calligraphy and painting and foreign calligraphy and painting have similar origins, such as religious sculptures and murals." Zhou Yan sorted out the language, "However, the origin of traditional Chinese painting in our country is much earlier than that of oil painting. Oil painting originated around the fourteenth century, and ours
Chinese painting originated during the Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, that is, around the third and fourth centuries AD."
"Wow..." the little beans all shouted in surprise, "That's amazing!"
The evolution of sculptures and murals into Chinese paintings or oil paintings was due to the special worship needs of the high-level intellectuals at that time: sculptures and murals took up too much space, and were relatively solemn, not as convenient as painting.
"Painting can reflect the author's inner world from the side.
After the emergence of painting, the mythical characters and fairy tales gradually became closer to reality and evolved into themes of garden visits and celebrity banquets.
Then, as the inner world of the painters became richer, it extended to landscapes, figures, flowers and birds..."
After talking about the history of traditional Chinese painting, Zhou Yan stared at the little kids in front of him with a smile: "Writing usually starts with sharpening pencils, so calligraphy should also start with grinding ink!"
A group of little kids suddenly became excited and started moving their hands happily.
Looking at this situation, even Yang Li, who has been raising children for five or six years, has to admit that Zhou Yan understands children very well: if you ask them to simply learn calligraphy, they will definitely not practice it seriously; but
If you let the children learn some calligraphy while playing, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort...
After grinding the ink, the next step is to test the ink.
Zhou Yan seemed to be teaching a group of little kids how to write and dip in ink very casually...
"Write down any words you know!"
I "casually" got to know the details of a group of little kids.
However, after a thorough investigation, even Zhou Yan had to admit that the post-00s generation has a stronger foundation than himself, the "post-80s generation abandoned by the times".
After all, he is also a veteran in the calligraphy circle. Zhou Yan can tell that many of Xiao Douding's calligraphy have been specially practiced.
Of course, there are also a few with really good foundations, such as Xu Jiajia and Zheng Wenqi.
After you get the feel of it, you need to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
Those with a good foundation will be trained in a targeted manner, while those with "average qualifications" will only need intensive practice...
However, while Zhou Yan was busy with the "calligraphy career" of the little beans, Zhou Yan was also worried about others.
To be precise, it was the money in Zhou Yan's pocket that was "missed" by others.
In the eyes of some thoughtful people, Xinghan Group has been a closed circle since its establishment. It develops its own products, produces its own products, has new projects, and invests its own money. However, in view of Zhou Yan's special status and the fact that he came from Liu Jingguo in
In the so-called circle, harsh words are spoken, and very few people care about Xinghan.
Later, Zhou Yan established Qingyan Group.
Different from the "obstruction" of Xinghan Group, Qingyan Group acquired Honger Machine Tool and Dongyang Steel not long after its establishment, which made many people smell something unusual.
However, given that the operating conditions of Honger Machine Tool and Dongyang Iron and Steel were somewhat unsatisfactory when they were acquired, many people who covet Qingyan Group can only adopt a wait-and-see attitude.
Now, Qingyan Group’s initiative to acquire XG has revealed a signal: Qingyan Group may expand externally or accept external capital...
Then, Xu Chongsheng, who was negotiating with XG, received a call from the company office inviting him to visit.
"Someone is thinking about Qingyan!" Xu Chongsheng was an executive from within the system, so he guessed what the other person was thinking.
However, for Xu Chongsheng, winning XG or SY Heavy Industries before the real estate or construction machinery boom can bring back blood to the bottomless pit of airlines.
Yes, in Xu Chongsheng's view, aviation or further aerospace industry is the core business of Qingyan Group, or the future.
If you have a goal, your partners will naturally have choices.
"Old Liu, screen the invitation information. Companies outside the aerospace industry will not be considered..." As soon as the words came out, Xu Chongsheng felt something was wrong again, and quickly added, "Please also stay for some banquets hosted by local governments.
, check it out, if it is too far away from the aviation industry, push it to Anxin Mall..."
Director Liu on the opposite side heard that Xu Chongsheng wanted to hang up the phone, so he quickly added: "Mr. Xu, one of these invitations belongs to a drone company, and it seems to be quite popular at the moment!"
"Dajiang?" As an insider, how could Xu Chongsheng not know about Dajiang?
It's not that Xu Chongsheng looks down on Dajiang, but Qingyan Group's foundation is really strong: Zhou Yan takes out the flight control software from "Ace Combat" and matches it with a multi-axis helicopter, and then he can compete with Dajiang's software; as for
In terms of hardware, Qingyan Group possesses the first-class ion batteries and first-class metal and non-metal processing capabilities in China...
