In such occasions, no one except Lin Xizhan, Li Xiyan and Tao Zhishan has the right to speak.
Even Xue Zhenguo and Zhao Shuren had no right to speak.
At this moment, Buncang Jian is one of the three great literary masters of the island country, representing the highest level of Chinese studies in the island country.
Wang Qian is a new master of Chinese traditional culture, representing the new generation of Chinese traditional culture masters.
Regardless of whether many Beijing circles and other masters of Chinese studies recognize Wang Qian or not, Wang Qian's many works and calligraphy level are there, and coupled with the official recognition, Wang Qian has already represented the new generation of Chinese studies, without a doubt.
Therefore, people who are at a different level from the two of them are not qualified to speak at this moment.
but.
Everyone present knew that Wen Cangjian was already relatively gentle and did not deliberately pick on Wang Qian right away.
Another person who came to the capital was Mingze Jibu, one of the three great literary masters of the island country, but he might not be as gentle as Bunkura Ken.
Xue Zhenguo frowned slightly when he thought of Mingze Jibu and Li Zaizhi, the only Chinese classics master in South Korea, and hoped that these two people with bad intentions would not cause trouble when Wang Qian went to Kyoto University to give lectures, as that would add uncertainty to the lectures at Kyoto University. If something went wrong and Wang Qian failed, it might implicate Kyoto University and affect its status in the field of Chinese classics in Asia.
The competition in the field of Chinese classics is also extremely fierce.
Not to mention the competition among several top domestic universities, including Peking University, Shuimu University, Northwestern University, Shuangxing University, Zhejiang University, Sichuan University, Tongji University, Xiamen University, Nankai University, etc., all have deep foundations in the field of Chinese studies and the competition is fierce.
At the same time, the Chinese Department of Hong Kong Island University is well-known throughout Asia. There is also New Island University in Nanyang, which is also very competitive in the field of Chinese studies. Hong Kong Island University and New Island University were once ranked first in Chinese Department, surpassing Beijing University and Shuangxing University...
In addition to these Chinese gathering places, China and South Korea are also deeply cultivating the inheritance of Chinese classics. They want to form their own system, make up for their own origins, get rid of the identity of a tributary of Chinese classics, and become the orthodox inheritance of Chinese culture. They want to be on an equal footing with the current China in terms of cultural inheritance, and change the relationship from father and son to brothers. If this really happens, then they may want to change from brothers to father and son in the future, but by that time they may just want to be fathers!
Therefore, even within Asia alone, disputes and wars in the cultural field have never ceased.
As one of the leaders of the Chinese Department of Peking University, Xue Zhenguo has a deeper understanding of this.
This time, inviting Wang Qian to the capital is an opportunity for Wang Qian to prove himself in the field of Chinese studies and literature, but it is also an opportunity for famous Chinese universities such as Peking University and Shuimu University to once again establish China's status as a suzerain state in the inheritance of Chinese culture.
At this moment, Wen Cang Jian represented the island country and took the lead to compete with Wang Qian.
It seemed peaceful, but everyone present knew the significance of it.
There was a gleam in Lin Xizhan's eyes. He knew that his identity also had representative significance. He represented the position of the University of Hong Kong in the field of Chinese culture. Therefore, when he came to Beijing this time, he was targeted by many famous universities in Beijing and Chinese culture masters. No one came to see him.
If he came for normal communication, he might have been invited or visited by representatives from famous schools and other Chinese studies masters.
After Qin Xuerong laid out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, he took a step back and stood quietly by the side, surrounded by Li Xinjing, Yan Zixin, Jiang Yu and He Chaohui.
Miyuki Nakamori walked up to the table and took Qin Xuerong's place to grind ink for her teacher Ken Bunkura.
Wen Cangjian stood in front of the table and said softly, "This is the inspiration I accumulated when I went to Mount Fuji to see the snow a few years ago. I have been accumulating it but not expressing it. Today is the right time. Professor Wang, please enlighten me..."
Wang Qian smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He knew that Wen Cangjian was accumulating inspiration and thoughts, so he didn't speak to disturb him, allowing him to reach his peak state and then continue to create on the spot.
Considering Ken Buncang’s current age, this may be the last peak of his life, and it may also be the most representative work of Chinese studies in his life.
Therefore, everyone present looked at Wen Cang Jian intently.
Wen Cangjian's figure became more upright, and his whole body exuded an aura, as if a towering mountain that had stood for countless years. He slowly picked up the brush with his right hand, as if the brush in his hand weighed a thousand pounds, and quickly put the brush down on the paper, but he did not write, but began to paint with ink.
Ink splashes on the white paper, and at first glance you can't make out anything, just like a child's scribbles.
However, no one at the scene thought so.
Especially Lin Xizhan, Li Xiyan, Xue Zhenguo, and Zhao Shuren, they are all masters in the field of Chinese studies, and they all know what Wen Cangjian is best at. In addition to calligraphy, Wen Cangjian is best at ink painting. He is currently the number one ink painter in the island country. His ink paintings are priced at more than 500,000 US dollars among the upper class in the island country.
Now that Ken Bunkura is older, the prices of his works have risen again in the collector's market, approaching the threshold of one million US dollars.
Unfortunately, ink paintings have almost no market in Europe and the United States, and only have a market in Asia. However, due to Ken Bunkura's identity as an islander, his works have little market in China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. They are only more popular in the island country.
but.
The few people present who knew Ken Buncang knew that his identity as a master of ink painting could not be faked.
Wang Qian watched with a little admiration in his heart.
Wen Cangjian's movements were wide and fast. Every stroke and every drop of ink was a masterpiece of ingenuity and full of profound meaning. After a short while, the outline of a picture of a snowy mountain scene slowly emerged.
Wang Qian knew that this was exactly the Mount Fuji that Wen Cangjian had mentioned.
Both the brushwork and the artistic conception are impeccable.
It is a rare masterpiece in modern times.
Even compared with the Chinese painting masters of decades ago, there is not much difference.
If Wen Cangjian can go one step further and reach the level of those Chinese painting masters who left behind several masterpieces worth hundreds of millions of dollars, he will become the number one Chinese painter in contemporary times.
However, everyone present knew that although it seemed like only one step away, this step was actually a world of difference. It was extremely difficult to cross it. Throughout history, countless masters of painting had been stuck at this step.
In history, there are only a handful of Chinese painting masters who have left behind masterpieces, but there are hundreds of painting masters who are second only to them. This shows the gap between the two.
However, in modern times, there are very few masters of painting who can reach the current level of Kensho Bunkura, and there is only one at most in the whole of Asia.
With Lin Xizhan's status and vision as a southern master, he nodded slightly with a hint of admiration in his eyes, expressing his approval of Wen Cangjian's level of traditional Chinese painting.
Li Xiyan, Tao Zhishan, Xue Zhenguo, and Zhao Shuren were all watching intently, afraid of missing anything exciting.
They knew that they might be witnesses of history at this moment.
Today's confrontation between Wang Qian and Wen Cangjian may go down in history and become a good story, and the witnesses now will also be remembered and praised by future generations.
Salsa, saxaul…
Whoosh…
The scene was extremely quiet, with only the sound of Wen Cangjian writing and breathing. His face was slightly red, and the light in his eyes was more focused than ever, as if he was blooming the essence of his entire life.
No one else made a sound, including Wang Qian!
They all just quietly acted as spectators and watched carefully.
This look.
Just over half an hour.
The painting on the paper is almost finished.
Wen Cangjian obviously did not lie. He had indeed been planning it in his mind for a long time. Every stroke and every step might have been simulated in his mind countless times. So when he put pen to paper at this moment, it was as if he was assisted by God. Not a single stroke was redundant and not a single mistake.
A painting of Mount Fuji in snow gradually came to fruition.
call…
Wen Cangjian breathed a sigh of relief, his breath weakened a lot, but he was still focused and calm, his expression tense, without relaxing. The brush moved quickly beside him, writing down line after line of words, which was a poem.
A five-character quatrain praising the snow scene of Mount Fuji!
The quality of the poem is not excellent, but it is also a rare good work in contemporary times. Especially in this painting, it complements the other and adds a lot of color to the painting.
Finally, Ken Buncang wrote his name at the bottom.
Wencangjian, these three characters are different from the master-level running script of the five-character quatrain above. They are a little crooked and look like they were written by a novice who just learned calligraphy.
However, these three words made the eyes of several Chinese studies masters present light up and they praised inwardly.
This is the state of returning to nature.
Every calligraphy master has practiced calligraphy for decades and has long formed inherent habits and artistic conception, and has long gotten rid of the habits of beginners.
Therefore, it is very difficult for a calligraphy master to write in the style of a beginner. It is possible to imitate it forcedly, but the style lacks the childishness of a beginner.
And now, these three words written by Wen Cang Jian are truly the same as the handwriting of a beginner, containing the childishness and ignorance of a beginner.
This is extremely rare. There are probably only two or three contemporary calligraphy masters who can write calligraphy with such artistic conception and return to the original simplicity. If they can go further, they will be able to truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the calligraphy masters in history...
However, it is a pity that even though Wen Cang Jian's calligraphy level is so high, he still has to be inferior to Wang Qian, because Wang Qian is the only contemporary calligraphy master, who is comparable to the few calligraphy masters in history. Anyone who is not a master of the same school has to be inferior to Wang Qian.
However, everyone present had great respect for Ken Buncang.
A master of Chinese painting, a realm of calligraphy that returns to its original simplicity, and a five-character quatrain that reaches the threshold of a good work!
At this time, Buncang Jian truly explained why he was called one of the three great literary masters in the island country. His status was so high that even Tian Huang had to bow to him when he saw him.
He relies on his own strength and foundation.
Pen falls!
Wen Cang Jian relaxed his whole body, let out a long breath, and his body swayed slightly, almost falling. Li Xiyan and Qianyu Zhenzhu hurried forward to support Wen Cang Jian's arms on both sides.
Li Xiyan: "Junior brother, are you okay? Sit down quickly."
Qin Xuerong hurriedly moved a chair over.
Qianyu Zhenzhu said worriedly: "Teacher, you consume too much."
Ken Buncang hasn't done any creative work in recent years and has been almost completely resting as his health is failing.
This creation has consumed a lot of his energy and may even affect his lifespan...
However, Wen Cangjian sat down and said with a hearty smile: "It's okay. I look at Professor Wang's works every day in the island country. Especially Professor Wang's poem "Looking at the Mountain", which gave me a lot of inspiration and inspiration. Otherwise, there would be no painting and poem today. I can paint this picture in front of Professor Wang today. Even if I die now, I will die without regrets."
Lin Xizhan put his hands behind his back, stared at the painting, and said softly: "Mr. Wen's painting is one of the representative works of contemporary Chinese painting. He is worthy of being one of the three great masters of literature in the island country. I think Mr. Wen should be the leader of the three great masters of literature. Unfortunately, several major schools in the island country are targeting you."
Lin Xizhan had known Wen Cangjian for a long time and knew that with Wen Cangjian's knowledge of Chinese studies, he could definitely be the leader of the three great literary masters of the island country.
However, Ken Buncang learned everything he learned from China, so he was targeted and deliberately suppressed by several major schools in the island country.
Because, after the island nation's economy recovered and it became a powerful country, it has been seeking cultural revival and self-confidence, wanting to break away from the influence of the culture of its suzerain country, China, and to become independent.
However, Wen Cangjian himself was a student of a Chinese national studies master, and after returning to China, he became the strongest national studies master, the head of the Wen Zong. Isn't this a slap in the face of those who want to get rid of the influence of Chinese culture? Wouldn't it be laughed at if it were made public
You, the most powerful Chinese scholar, learned from the Chinese culture, and you still want to get rid of the influence of Chinese culture? Are you kidding me
Just like when Emperor Tianhuang ascended the throne a few years ago, the masters of Chinese studies in the island countries took great pains to find two Chinese characters from ancient books to be the year name, and announced to the public that they chose these two characters in order to get rid of the influence of Chinese culture...
Then, the island nation’s screen was filled with many question marks: How can it be considered as getting rid of the influence of Chinese culture by selecting Chinese characters for the year from pure Chinese ancient books
Therefore, Wen Cang Jian has always been suppressed in the island country. If it were not for his profound and powerful knowledge and background, he might not have been among the three great literary masters.
Wen Cangjian smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you are too polite. In front of Mr. Lin, I dare not say that it is my masterpiece."
Although Lin Xizhan is the best running script writer in the south and his calligraphy works are of great value, his painting has also reached the master level, but his title as the best running script master in the south is overshadowed.
In the early years, all the masters of Chinese studies were proficient in calligraphy and painting.
A master of Chinese studies who has reached a high level in calligraphy must also have Chinese painting skills that are not much different from his master level. Even if he is not at the master level, his skills are almost the same.
Lin Xizhan shook his head, smiled but did not say anything. He looked at Wang Qian. He knew that Wang Qian was the protagonist at this time, and he should not say too much and steal Wang Qian's limelight.
Several others, Wen Cangjian, Li Xiyan and others, also looked at Wang Qian with great anticipation.
Especially Ken Bunkura himself, his expression was full of anticipation, and even a little bit nervous, as if he was a student waiting for his teacher to comment on his work.
In his subconscious, he instinctively believed that Wang Qian's level was higher than his and that he was qualified to be his teacher.
Wang Qian gazed at Wen Cangjian’s paintings…
