A quarrel here immediately attracted a group of spectators, and more and more people gathered.
Then Master Liu was no longer calm. When there were more people, they started arguing. He seemed to be afraid of something. He stepped forward and said, "Master, do you know calligraphy?"
Didn't wait for Fang Zheng to answer.
Master Liu put his hands behind his back and looked at Fang Zheng with his head held high. Fang Zheng saw the nose hairs in the pair of nostrils. For the first time, Fang Zheng felt that a person's nose hairs could be cuter than a person's soul.
Master Liu said: "I have been learning calligraphy for four years. From imitation to transcendence, and writing to this day, I think I have nothing to write. It is not because I can write better than everyone else, but because of traditional calligraphy.
It has reached its upper limit. Its own limitations and the number of practitioners are destined to make people in this era never reach the high level of recognition that the ancients had.
There is no way to achieve that recognition, and naturally it will not have that historical height and realistic status. It also lacks some momentum and is boring... So, I plan to imitate the European Renaissance and become the trend-setter who leads the times. Is there anything wrong with this?
?”
Someone on the side responded and said, "That's right, Master is creating the era! And you are just the beneficiaries of the era. If you don't thank the Master quickly and help the Master, what are you doing here holding you back?"
When Fangzheng heard this, he immediately became happy: "How dare you say that you have surpassed it after studying calligraphy for four years? Chinese calligraphy is so broad and profound that it would be difficult to even get started in four years, right? Since you are such a great master, you might as well write about the tradition.
Let me show you your calligraphy. See how much you weigh, to be so arrogant and criticizing the entire era?"
Master Liu shook his head decisively and said: "For rubbish, a lifetime of learning is of no use. For geniuses, four years is enough. As the saying goes, once you realize the Tao, you will rise in the sky. I am the one who has fully understood the Tao. Since I have become an immortal, why bother
Come back and draw with mortals again? I have abandoned this traditional calligraphy."
As he spoke, Master Liu looked at Fang Zheng with contempt.
After Fang Zheng heard this, he almost felt angry. He had seen shameless people, because he was a role model among them. Now comparing with Master Liu, Fang Zheng suddenly realized that he himself was definitely a role model among people with good conduct!
Master Liu looked around and continued: "I have been thinking hard about the breakthrough of Chinese calligraphy. I couldn't sleep day and night. After a month of hard thinking, I finally found inspiration at the seaside. I saw a child holding a pull-out cup.
I was playing with the water gun there, and suddenly I had an idea. This water gun is a good thing...
Why do you say that?
Everyone knows that the most troublesome thing about writing calligraphy is that when you get up to writing, you run out of ink, and you have to dip it in ink. As you go back and forth, your enthusiasm and interest are gone. It is really frustrating!
But this water gun is different. When it is full, it can let you write as much as you want! This is the treasure of writing!
So I gritted my teeth, put down the brush, picked up the water gun, and started creating the three-foot shooting book.
Just like the Renaissance, many people don't understand art, but so what if they don't understand it? Only those who don't understand it need the advanced people of our era, the progressive progressives of our times, to lead and drive it.
I am the founder of the era and the promoter of world literature and art, so even if I face the criticism of thousands of people, I am bound to do so!
Some people say that this is not art. That is because your mortal eyes cannot understand the essence of my art. Not to mention you, even the so-called traditional calligraphers cannot understand it. Why? Because their practice is not enough!
So, I am not afraid of questioning, but I really hate being asked questions all the time. You can be ignorant, but you are not qualified to judge my work!"
After saying that, Master Liu raised his head and looked at Fang Zheng with an arrogant expression, as if to say: "Do you have anything else to say? You bald thief with no taste?"
Red Boy pulled Fang Zheng and said through the voice: "Master, this guy has become a spirit. He talks in one way and he seems to be well prepared. With this mouth, he can talk even if he is dead. He is definitely a professional liar."
Ah, I'm afraid you, a part-timer, can't defeat him."
Fang Zheng ignored Red Boy, but said calmly: "The poor monk does not understand art, but the poor monk knows that all art in the world comes from life and is higher than life, but in the final analysis, all art is for use, not for nonsense.
.
The reason why calligraphy is calligraphy is that the written words are not only beautiful, but also understandable. They can be used and read. There are thousands of mountains and rivers hidden in the words, and the words are as pleasing to the eye as paintings.
Therefore, real art is the coexistence of use and appreciation. But look at yours..."
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng patted Red Boy's head. Red Boy knew that it was time to curse and that it was his turn to take the stage, so he immediately shouted in cooperation: "Look at you, what the hell!"
Master Liu said unconvinced: "Who told you that calligraphy must be understood? How many people can understand cursive calligraphy? It's a mess that many people can't understand. Isn't it still calligraphy? My calligraphy,
You can't understand it just because you don't practice enough! Moreover, calligraphy pays attention to the continuous charm. When using a traditional brush, you have to dip it in ink every time. In this way, the charm is easily lost. Such backward calligraphy, shooting calligraphy
Why can’t it be replaced?”
Fang Zheng smiled: "Do you really understand calligraphy, or do you pretend to understand calligraphy? Calligraphy pays attention to the continuous charm. It talks about a kind of artistic conception, rather than the form of writing a word coherently. It is momentum rather than style! So, calligraphy
Li also said: "If the pen is broken, the meaning will continue!" If you cannot reach this state, even if you write a thousand words in one stroke, it will still be broken!"
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Although China has a history of five thousand years, and our ancestors have left us countless treasures, in the long history, ignorant people have thrown away many treasures, and now there are not many left.
.And you still want to use this rare treasure to embarrass yourself. You are willing to destroy this treasure just to attract attention. What is your intention?
Tell me, what do you write? Two twisted lines and a circle, what is this?"
When Master Liu heard these words, he was a little speechless. After holding it for a long time, he raised his head and said proudly: "It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. You don't understand, so you are not qualified to judge my quality!"
When Fang Zheng heard this, he immediately became angry. This grandson really knows how to show off. He can talk nonsense. If he can't explain it, he will use a way that you can't understand and you are too low-level to explain it. He will step on you by the way.
A kick to lift himself up.
Fang Zheng is unhappy, Fang Zheng is very unhappy!
Hong Hai'er asked Fang Zheng, "Master, what should we do? This grandson is playing like this, you can't beat him at all."
Fang Zheng touched Red Boy's head and said, "It doesn't matter. A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything. The teacher is watching. Come on."
