Chapter 343: You don't always have to wait and mingle
When I saw He Ruchu's picture of a rooster just now, a poem came to Zhang Zhong's mind.
But he looked around and wondered, "It's just that there is no pen and ink here now, so I'd better wait until I get back and write again."
He Ruchu smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? What kind of pen and ink do you want?"
"Anything is fine," Zhang Zhong said.
Generally speaking, the requirements for ink classification are relatively low. You can adjust the shade by yourself, but the pens are different. It is best to use different pens to write different words.
According to the softness and hardness, the brushes are divided into hard brushes, soft brushes, and mixed brushes. When divided further, the specific materials are different. For example, soft brushes, chicken brushes are softer than sheep brushes, and there is even a kind of fetal brushes, which uses
Newborn baby's hair is softer than the first two.
In addition to soft and hard strokes, there are three types according to the length of the stroke: long stroke, short stroke, and center stroke.
Generally speaking, hard pens are used for writing running script and cursive script, and soft pens are used for regular scripts.
But it’s not absolute. It depends on personal habits. Some people are used to writing regular script with hard pens. It’s not impossible. The key depends on the technique. Theoretically speaking, choosing the wrong brush will make writing difficult, but this kind of difficulty can be
Overcome with technology.
Zhang Zhong is the kind of person who is not particular about the type of brush, so he said "anything is acceptable".
He Ruchu thought for a moment, walked out of the box, said a few words to the waiter waiting at the door, and then turned back.
"By your light, I asked the hotel to borrow some pen and ink. I'll be there in a moment."
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "I thought you could conjure up a set of pen and ink."
"Then why should I paint? Just do magic tricks." He Ruchu said with a smile.
The two of them were chatting. For a while, the writing brush didn't come over, but the food came first.
They were not in a hurry, Zhang Zhong said, "Let's wait while we eat."
After finishing the meal, the pen and ink had not come yet. He Ruchu became a little anxious and asked the waiter, "Why hasn't the pen and ink we asked for come yet?"
The waiter just now was not here, and the new waiter didn't know what was going on, so he could only say, "Don't worry, I'll go ask it for you."
After another two or three minutes, the waiter who had gone to get the brush came back. The waiter did not come back alone. He was also accompanied by the hotel general manager Lin Ruoshui.
Lin Ruoshui wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, the shop usually doesn't prepare pens and ink, but in response to Teacher Zhang's request, I naturally refused and ran out to buy it myself. Take a look.
Does this ink meet your requirements?"
The waiter walked up to Zhang Zhong and the others with a plate. Zhang Zhong stretched his head and took a look. Lin Ruoshui not only prepared pen and ink, but also equipped an inkstone and an ink mixing tray, which was very professional.
This is a center coin. It is indeed new, but it has already been written.
When you buy a brush, you must open it first. It takes about ten to twenty minutes to open the brush. In other words, this pen was actually bought back before, but Lin Ruoshui didn't deliver it to him. He waited until the pen was opened before delivering it.
.
Zhang Zhong saw through his little thought at a glance.
It's not troublesome to open a pen, just soak it in some warm water. After buying the pen, Zhang Zhong and the others can do it in the box. However, Lin Ruoshui insisted on soaking it before sending it over. She must have wanted to see what Zhang Zhong and the others were going to do.
If the pen was delivered without soaking, Zhang Zhong and others would have to open it, and he would be embarrassed to keep it.
Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "It's really troublesome for Mr. Lin. He even went to buy it for us. I'm going to write some words later. Mr. Lin is interested in giving me some advice?"
Since he had put so much thought into it, Zhang Zhong didn't drive him out.
Lin Ruoshui smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, "How dare you, I can just watch and observe. How about moving to my office? Although my office is simple, there is a square table, which is better than here."
"No, just here will do." Zhang Zhong shook his head, he had poor requirements for the environment.
There was not only a dining table in the private room, but also an Eight Immortals table for guests to play cards and relax. Zhang Zhong decided to write there.
He Ruchu unfolded the painting on the table, and Lin Ruoshui next to him exclaimed exaggeratedly, "What a painting, what a chicken!"
"Oh? Where do you think Mr. Lin is better?" He Ruchu asked with interest.
Lin Ruoshui scratched his head, "I don't know what's better, but it feels different. Hey, I recognize this seal. The painting that Teacher Zhang inscribed last time also had this seal."
"This seal is the seal of Mr. He Ruchu, a master of traditional Chinese painting." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
Lin Ruoshui nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, that's Master He Ruchu. When I was surfing the Internet, I read someone said that he is the best person in the world at drawing roosters."
This is called knowing the paintings and seals but not knowing the person. How could Ruchu himself be standing in front of him, but he didn't recognize him.
Zhang Zhong said nothing, adjusted the ink, and tried the ink on another piece of paper. If he thought it was OK, he started writing on the paper:
Buy a morning rooster and let them sing together, so you don’t have to wait for a while to crow. Deep in the mountains, on a dark, windy and rainy night, you want to be close to the dawn and crow once.
When I saw this painting just now, what came to Zhang Zhong's mind was this seven-character quatrain by Cui Daorong.
This poem is very simple and easy to understand. After the poet bought a dawn chicken, he said to the chicken, you don't need to crow every day like those ordinary chickens. You only need to crow in the dark and stormy nights in the mountains.
Just call when it's almost dawn.
In fact, the last sentence "If you want to get close to the dawn, crow once" is similar in meaning to the previous sentence "The rooster crows and the world will be white".
After Zhang Zhong finished the last word, He Ruchu excitedly slapped his thigh, "Wonderful!"
Lin Ruoshui was about to flatter him, but found that his flattery had been snatched away by the man next to him. Just like He Ruchu asked him before, he asked, "What's so wonderful about this gentleman?"
He Ruchu praised, "The wonderful thing is that poetry and painting are consistent and the artistic conception is similar. And with this poem, the idea of the painting is immediately reflected. What's even better is that the rooster's unruliness shows the author's heart full of revenge and revenge."
I hope that this unseen rooster's crow not only indicates that dawn is approaching, but also tells people that the darkness is about to pass."
Lin Ruoshui touched his head. Aren't the last two sentences of this guy nonsense? Don't they mean the same thing as the dawn is approaching and the darkness is about to pass?
Zhang Zhong knew that He Ruchu had understood this poem. Cui Daorong wrote this poem using a rebellious rooster to describe himself: I am not an ordinary rooster. I crow every day. My existence is a critical moment. When the world is difficult,
, emits a cry that resounds throughout the heaven and earth, clears away the darkness, welcomes the dawn, and spreads hope to the world.
He dipped the ink again and signed at the back and wrote: On Bingxu day of the lunar month of the Gengzi year, I went to Jiangyang to welcome He Gongzhu.
After he finished writing, he wiped his pocket and said with a smile, "Teacher He, it's a pity that I didn't bring my seal with me when I came out."
