You can pick lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are fields of lotus leaves, among the lotus leaves, there are lotus leaves to the east, lotus leaves to the west, lotus leaves to the south, and lotus leaves to the north.
This poem has been a very popular poem in all dynasties.
This poem seems simple and unremarkable.
But it's very rhyming, catchy, and full of beauty.
According to an official explanation, this is a lotus-picking song, which reflects the scenery when picking lotus and the happy mood of the lotus pickers.
With concise and lively language, repetitive tones, graceful and timeless artistic conception, and fresh and lively style, it outlines a bright and wonderful picture.
Wen Anping, a master of calligraphy, also wrote this poem.
In addition to the beautiful artistic conception of this poem, the most important thing is that the poem Jiangnan is very suitable for calligraphers to write.
Among them, there is the character "Lotus", the character "Fish", and the four characters "East, West, South, North", all of which are very demanding on the writing skills of the person.
If the level of calligraphy reaches its peak, just writing a poem can give people the beautiful scenery of fish swimming among lotus leaves.
However, Wen Anping, as the vice president of the Jinmen Calligraphy Association and a member of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, found it difficult to describe the beautiful scenery in the poem when he wrote this poem about Jiangnan.
In other words, just taking this poem as an example, his calligraphy level does not seem to have reached the pinnacle.
However, what Wen Anping didn't expect was that the calligraphy He Feng asked him to admire today was actually as natural as nature itself, perfectly reflecting the artistic conception of Jiangnan's poem.
Even he, who has seen many works by famous artists, was shocked at this moment, and felt as if he was astonished.
Seeing Wen Anping looking at the calligraphy seriously and not saying anything, He Feng couldn't help but ask again: "How's it going? Please give me some comments!"
Wen Anping came back to his senses, nodded and praised: "This calligraphy has strong penmanship, natural running script, and roundness and softness in the square shape. At first glance, it is the work of someone with profound skills.
The most important thing is that he can show the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan poem with full artistic conception. Even I need to be in a very good state to do this!"
Having said this, Wen Anping smiled, took off his reading glasses, and said very curiously: "In Jinmen City, there are only a handful of people with such calligraphy skills, and I know them all.
But this character is not something that the calligraphers I know can write.
Who wrote this poem?"
Wen Chengye didn't take this word seriously at first, but after hearing his grandfather's praise, he became interested and took a closer look.
After reading it carefully, Wen Chengye was also shocked by the words. He nodded repeatedly and was intoxicated by the words.
He Feng chuckled and said: "To be honest, I don't know the person who wrote this calligraphy. It's just that he went to the school library to borrow books today and left me such a calligraphy."
"Don't you know him?" Wen Anping felt a little disappointed. He originally thought that he could get to know the writer of this calligraphy and make friends through his words.
He Feng raised the corners of his lips and asked with a wicked smile: "Why don't you guess how old this person is?"
Wen Anping was startled and said with a smile: "In my opinion, this person must be at least fifty years old, otherwise he would not have such a profound foundation in writing skills."
Wen Chengye nodded in agreement and said, "Grandpa is right. If you want to achieve such a level of calligraphy, it will be far out of reach without thirty or forty years of hard practice.
In my opinion, it is not enough to be over fifty years old. You must be at least sixty years old to write such beautiful calligraphy."
"Well, Chengye, what you said is indeed reasonable, but we can't talk too much at any time. I said this person is over fifty years old because I took into account that there are people with extraordinary talents."
Wen Chengye accepted the lesson with an open mind: "Grandpa taught me this."
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were convinced that the person who wrote the calligraphy was an elderly person, He Feng couldn't help laughing.
"Brother He, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?" Wen Anping looked over with a puzzled look on his face.
He Feng laughed and said: "It's really wrong. Mr. Wen, let me tell you the truth, these words were written by a young man in his twenties.
The other party's age is probably two or three years younger than Chengye and Sisi."
Wen Anping was shocked. After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible. This calligraphy, both in terms of writing power and artistic conception, has almost reached the pinnacle of calligraphy.
How could a young man in his twenties write this?"
Wen Chengye also said: "Principal He, has someone lied to you? It's not impossible for young people nowadays to use calligraphy masters' handwriting to pretend to be talented people and cheat."
He Feng smiled and waved his hands and said: "You are overthinking this. These words were indeed written by a young man.
Moreover, it was written in front of me, and I saw it with my own eyes."
"How is this possible?" Even though what He Feng said was conclusive, Wen Anping still found it hard to believe it.
This calligraphy work is so profound and unimaginable that it requires decades of hard work over time. How could it be written by a young man in his twenties?
Even if the other party started practicing calligraphy hard in the womb, I'm afraid it would be difficult to master it.
Just like Wen Chengye, he has also learned calligraphy from Wen Anping since he was a child, but so far, his calligraphy has only reached the level of proficiency. If he wants to become a master, reach Wen Anping's level and be recognized by people in the industry, he still needs at least two or three
Ten years of hard work.
Let’s talk about He Feng. He has been passionate about calligraphy all his life. He is now nearly 70 years old, but he still seems to be unable to have an epiphany and cannot completely enter the palace.
Taking the two of them as examples is enough to illustrate how difficult it is to achieve such achievements in calligraphy.
You must know that even the famous calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi only formed his own style in his middle age. It is estimated that the age when he wrote the Lanting Preface was around thirty-two years old.
Could it be said that there are really talented young calligraphers in this world?
Wen Anping and Wen Chengye couldn't accept this fact for a while.
The two of them lowered their heads and looked at Jiangnan again. They couldn't help but fall into deep doubt and self-doubt.
Wen Anping looked down for a while and suddenly asked: "That young man, how long did it take you to write these words?"
The speed of writing is also one of the factors that measure the strength of a calligrapher.
Writing in a smooth and flowing manner, and holding it in with great effort, are completely different things.
He Feng was stunned for a moment, recalling the scene of Han Jiulin waving a brush in the library in the afternoon, and said with some uncertainty: "It should take about half a minute from the beginning of writing to the completion of the last word, right?"
"Half a minute..." Wen Anping was a little speechless. Although this Jiangnan poem has not many words, it can be written to this level in half a minute, which is equivalent to writing it in one breath.
