Chapter 339: Appealing to both the refined and the popular

Views:

At the beginning, everyone's attention was completely attracted by the calligraphy uploaded by Chu Kuang. The beautiful regular script had a sense of uprightness, elegance and peace of mind. Even people who didn't understand calligraphy could see the exquisiteness of the calligraphy.

Flowing like water.

The writing is like clouds and smoke.

Recently, because of the signed book of "Murder on the Orient Express", many people have been discussing whether Chu Kuang has any calligraphy skills. At this time, Chu Kuang posted a piece of calligraphy, which is undoubtedly an extremely powerful explanation!

“This word is absolutely amazing!”

“Who said before that Chu Kuang was just an ordinary person with good handwriting? Let’s not talk about whether ordinary people can write calligraphy. Even a contestant like me who has been practicing calligraphy since childhood can’t write as beautifully as Chu Kuang. I even feel that the teacher who taught me calligraphy is not as good as Chu Kuang!”

“What a beautiful calligraphy!”

"I didn't expect Chu Kuang to be good at regular script. Ordinary regular script masters write almost the same strokes, without any changes. After mastering the basic strokes, everyone can write this kind of font with a little practice. But the top regular script masters can make every word stand up to scrutiny, with subtle changes in their seemingly regular style. Chu Kuang's calligraphy has reached the level of top masters!"

“This calligraphy is so handsome…”

"I thought that you, Chu Kuang, were good at writing books, and you could even easily cross over into various novel genres. I finally accepted this setting, but you told me that you are actually an expert in calligraphy?"

“No wonder people say Chu Kuang is a monster!”

"This old thief Chu Kuang, this monster, is not going to let anyone live. His calligraphy is vigorous and upright yet charming. It is not at the level of an amateur at all. He is definitely a calligrapher who has been delayed by novels."

"… "

There are still many people who know the goods.

Anyone who has learned calligraphy a little can tell what level Chu Kuang's calligraphy is. After all, this is a level of calligraphy that is evaluated as professional-level by the system. And if someone can make a living from calligraphy, how can his brush calligraphy be bad

There are even reviews from professional calligraphers.

After all, Chu Kuang is a celebrity, so several famous Weibo celebrities who are quite influential in the field of calligraphy also reposted Chu Kuang's "Quiet Night Thoughts" as soon as possible and gave their own opinions:

"The word Chu Kuang already has a sense of neutrality."

"You can consider developing a career in calligraphy."

"If you publish a collection of calligraphy, I'll consider buying it."

"This calligraphy requires more than ten years of hard work."

Everyone's evaluation was actually quite objective. Even if it was said that Chu Kuang's statement might have required more than ten years of hard work, it was not an exaggeration. If Lin Yuan had not received the treasure chest reward from the system, he might have had to practice for more than ten years to reach this level through his own practice.

at the same time.

Those so-called rationalists were stunned. They had previously sworn that Chu Kuang was just an ordinary person with beautiful handwriting, who happened to be good at signing, and even his signature was just mediocre. As a result, this piece of regular script made their faces swollen!

Is this an ordinary person

This is called mediocre

Even professional calligraphers who have published calligraphy works have commented that Chu Kuang's calligraphy has reached the highest level. How can they still insist that the reason why Chu Kuang's calligraphy is so good is just bragging brought about by the celebrity effect

It's also at this time.

Suddenly someone posted a message: "I just checked, this "Quiet Night Thoughts" doesn't seem to be an ancient poem. It is basically confirmed that the author is Chu Kuang Lao Ze himself. The quality of this poem is really amazing!"

Chu Kuang’s own poem

In fact, everyone has noticed the content of "Quiet Night Thoughts" a long time ago, and some people even noticed this poem at the first time. However, because more people were discussing calligraphy at the beginning, everyone did not think much about the poem itself. Some people even thought that this was a poem written by an ancient sage. It was not until some netizens mentioned this poem in detail that everyone's attention was finally focused on the poem.

“This poem is awesome!”

It was nothing at first, but now after some people reminded me, everyone took a closer look and found that this poem is indeed very exquisitely written. It seems to be a simple five-character quatrain, but it fully expresses people's homesickness...

The poem seems to become a painting!

The guests in a foreign land could not sleep late at night. The courtyard of the inn was extremely lonely at this time. The bright moonlight shone through the window and hit the bed, bringing the chill of the autumn night. At first glance, in his dazed mood, the guest really seemed to be covered with a layer of thick white frost on the ground; but when he took a closer look, the surrounding environment told him that this was not frost.

It's the moonlight.

The moonlight inevitably attracted him to look up. Then he saw a beautiful white moon hanging in front of the window. The sky in the autumn night was so clear. The autumn moon was exceptionally bright, but it was also cold. Especially for a solitary traveler, it is easiest to be reminded of the autumn.

The customer situation is bleak? Time flies.

He stared at the moon, as if he was waking up from a short dream. He thought about everything that had happened in his hometown and his family members. As he thought about it, his head gradually lowered, completely immersed in thought. The moonlight became even lonelier.

"What a quiet night of thought!"

“This writing is innocent and simple.”

"This poem has neither novel imagination nor elaborate and gorgeous words. It just uses a narrative tone to write about the homesickness of a traveler far away. However, it is meaningful and intriguing, which makes the readers deeply attracted. The whole poem, from 'doubt' to 'raising head' and then from 'raising head' to 'lowering head', vividly reveals the poet's inner activities and vividly outlines a vivid picture of homesickness on a moonlit night, expressing the author, the old thief Chu Kuang,'s feelings when he misses his hometown in the quiet moonlit night."

"Are you the class representative upstairs?"

"The class representative gave a good summary."

Of course, not everyone can understand the beauty of this poem. Some people are curious and ask: "I feel that this poem is very simple. There is no strange and novel imagination nor exquisite and gorgeous words. Especially the last sentence of "bow your head and think of your hometown" is too colloquial. How can this become the advantage of Chu Kuang?"

You’re right.

As soon as this kind of voice came out, those rationalists became excited again, and rushed out one after another to say, "That's what I mean. I don't think there's anything surprising about this poem. Why are so many people praising it? Just because Chu Kuang is a successful novelist and is also very good at calligraphy, don't praise his poems so highly. We should still be rational."

Rationalists love to boast about their rationality.

So I still acknowledge Chu Kuang's calligraphy.

However, when they began to try to cool down "Quiet Night Thoughts" again, someone suddenly forwarded this calligraphy copybook, and the person who forwarded it was Gong Quan, a recognized poet in Qin Province of Blue Star: "Chu Kuang's short four-line poem is written in a fresh and simple style, clear as words, with a detailed and profound conception, and it is recited without any trace. The content is simple, but rich; the content is easy to understand, but it is endless to appreciate. In fact, what Chu Kuang did not say is much more than what he has said. This is a wonderful state of being unintentional and yet perfect. The genius writer is naturally full of literary talent."

Unexpectedly!

Even a poet like Gong Quan openly praised the level of "Quiet Night Thoughts". Even readers who had no feelings about this poem at first began to fall into deep thought. Is it because their understanding is too low that they cannot appreciate the subtlety of this poem

Fortunately, there are only a few such people.

The biggest advantage of Blue Star being a planet with highly developed literature and art is that ordinary people also have a certain level of appreciation ability. Since everyone grew up in such an environment, their basic cultural literacy is still good.

Still not convinced

The netizen can only say "Do you understand poetry better than the poets like Gong Quan?" The poem "Quiet Night Thoughts" is indeed not grand and majestic, but relatively friendly and down-to-earth. Some people are born to like the heroic poems like "When my flowers bloom, all other flowers will die", so naturally they don't sympathize with some down-to-earth poems. The great thing about Li Bai is that he is truly appreciated by both the elite and the masses!
