The Weibo of "Shilin" magazine has just a few words: "@Chinese Calligraphers Association, please help me appreciate it!"
Below the text is a very clear photo, which is also watermarked by "Shilin" magazine. The content of the picture is also very simple, with only a few dozen words, like a poem.
"The luminous cup of grape wine will remind you immediately if you want to drink the pipa.
Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times. "
When everyone saw this picture, they were all attracted by the elegant and free handwriting on it, like clouds and flowing water. At the same time, there was also a question in their hearts: "What kind of font is this? Why do I feel that I have never seen it before?" Have you seen it?"
"@Chinese Calligraphers Association, what is this font? Why have you never seen it before?"
"@Chinese Calligraphers Association, please ask the gods to clarify my doubts!"
Xue Bin is a well-known figure in the Chinese calligraphy circle, but outside the circle, he is somewhat obscure, and few people even know what he does.
Since graduation, Xue Bin has been engaged in the study of the origin of calligraphy and is a researcher of the Chinese Calligraphers Association.
Exploring the origins of calligraphy, as the name suggests, is to explore the origin, development and formation history of some common calligraphy fonts. Over the years, Xue Bin has explored the origin and development history of regular script calligraphy, and has become a well-known figure in the Chinese Calligraphers Association.
It happened to be his turn to be on duty at the unit tonight. During his free time and boredom, he logged into Weibo and prepared to search for topics that interested him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the Weibo homepage, Xue Bin saw a Weibo post that interested him: "What font is this? Please let me know!"
When he clicked on this topic and found the earliest Weibo post, he was immediately attracted by the incomparably beautiful fonts on the computer screen. In fact, even his heart was beating fast!
He had this wonderful feeling when he first met his wife. Those years were at least ten years ago!
"This font is so beautiful. Although it is close to regular script, it is elegant and free. It should be faster to write. This kind of fast writing in regular script is the flow of regular script."
At this time, Xue Bin found another post in regular script and carefully compared the two different calligraphy. I don’t know how long it took before I finally gained something.
After analyzing each character in several sets of regular script and this kind of calligraphy, he found that when writing regular script and this kind of calligraphy, the writing method of stipples and the rules to be followed when using the pen, such as center, stroke, reverse in and out, raise The calligraphy of Qi Zhu, Zang Feng, etc. are all the same, but this kind of calligraphy is more stretched and flowing when written.
Time passed little by little, but Xue Bin didn't notice it at all, not even feeling sleepy at all.
He had already taken a piece of white paper and a pen, looked at the picture on Weibo, and started copying it word by word.
The minute hand of the clock on the wall rotated around and around. Xue Bin's condition was getting better and better, and the words he wrote became more and more similar, and the speed became faster and faster.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening woke Xue Bin from the state where he was writing before. As footsteps sounded, a surprised voice rang out: "Xiao Xue, did you get up so early today?"
"Good morning, Teacher Zhang!"
At this time, Teacher Zhang saw the bloodshot eyes in Xue Bin's eyes, and couldn't help being frightened, and said: "Xiao Xue, you haven't slept all night, have you?"
"Haha, I made you laugh!"
Xue Bin smiled awkwardly, and then excitedly handed the piece of white paper he had written on to Teacher Zhang and said, "Teacher Zhang, what do you think of this writing?"
Teacher Zhang took the piece of white paper, his eyes suddenly opened wide, he looked at the piece of white paper blankly, and said in surprise: "This font... this font, I have never seen it before! Did you write this?"
Xue Bin nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Teacher Zhang walking over excitedly, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Xiao Xue, you have really made history! That's great, our calligraphers The association can finally feel proud and proud!”
Xue Bin smiled bitterly at this time and said: "Teacher Zhang, this is just me copying other people's calligraphy..."
Teacher Zhang was also stunned at this time, with a puzzled look on his face, and said: "Impossible, there are people in China who know regular script better than you. This font is obviously a variation of regular script!"
Xue Bin handed the phone to Teacher Zhang at this time and said with a wry smile: "Look, this is a new Weibo post by "Shilin" magazine. It seems that a new manuscript has been collected!"
As soon as Teacher Zhang saw the pictures on Xuebin's mobile phone, his somewhat cloudy eyes lit up instantly. Finally, he sat on a chair with his mobile phone and slowly began to appreciate it. Suddenly he laughed loudly:
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful. It's such a rare masterpiece. I'm really lucky to see such an excellent calligraphy work in my lifetime!"
There were more and more people in the office. When they saw Teacher Zhang and Xue Bin sitting together, seemingly discussing something on their mobile phones, they couldn't help but gathered around them curiously.
…
After a night of fermentation, the Weibo post published by "Shilin" became more and more popular. Even many Weibo influencers liked and retweeted it, attracting more and more netizens' attention.
Suddenly, the official Weibo of the Chinese Calligraphers Association forwarded this Weibo and replied:
"@"Poetry" official Weibo, I wonder which calligrapher this manuscript is from? This manuscript has been studied by our association and is unanimously believed to be the greatest discovery in a century and a kind of great promotion significance. New font! It has great collection value. I wonder if we can be lucky enough to take a look?"
As soon as this Weibo was posted, the entire calligraphy world exploded!
"Damn it! The greatest discovery in a century! Do you want to be so awesome?"
"Only now do I know the purpose of "Poetry"@Calligraphers Association. When I first saw it, I just thought the calligraphy was so handsome. I didn't expect it to be a brand new font!"
"It seems that "Poetry" is well prepared! It has attracted so many people, but only the Calligraphers Association has responded! What about those two associations?"
"It's true, how about we help "Poetry"! @Chinese Poetry Society, @Chinese Writers Association, come and see how this poem goes!"
"@Chinese Poetry Society, @Chinese Writers Association, your mother told you to go home and read Chinese characters!"
It is never too big a deal to watch the excitement. At this time, many netizens started @Chinese Poetry Society and Chinese Writers Association, hoping to get answers from these two organizations.
