A quarrel here immediately attracted a group of spectators, and more and more people gathered.
Then Master Liu was no longer calm. When there were more people, they started arguing. He seemed to be afraid of something. He stepped forward and said, "Master, do you know calligraphy?"
Did not wait for Fang Zheng to answer.
Master Liu put his hands behind his back and looked at Fang Zheng with his head held high. Fang Zheng saw the nose hairs in the pair of nostrils. For the first time, Fang Zheng felt that a person's nose hairs could be cuter than a person's soul.
Master Liu said: "I have been learning calligraphy for four years. From imitation to transcendence, and writing to this day, I think I have nothing to write. It is not because I can write better than everyone else, but because of traditional calligraphy It has reached its upper limit. Its own limitations and the number of practitioners are destined to make people in this era never reach the high level of recognition that the ancients had.
If there is no way to achieve that level of recognition, naturally it will not have that historical height or realistic status. It also lacks some momentum and is boring... Therefore, I plan to imitate the European Renaissance and become a trendsetter who leads the times. Is this wrong? "
Someone on the side responded: "That's right, Master is creating the era! And you are just the beneficiaries of the era. If you don't thank the Master quickly and help the Master, what are you holding back?"
When Fangzheng heard this, he immediately became happy: "You have studied calligraphy for four years and you dare to say that you have surpassed it? Chinese calligraphy is so broad and profound that it would be difficult to even get started in four years, right? Since you, the master, are so good at it, you might as well write about the traditional Let me show you the calligraphy. How much do you have to be so arrogant and criticize the entire era?"
Master Liu shook his head decisively and said: "For rubbish, it is useless to study for a lifetime. For geniuses, four years is enough. As the saying goes, once you realize the Tao, you will rise in the sky. I am the one who has fully understood the Tao. Since I have become an immortal, why bother Come back to compete with mortals again? I have abandoned this traditional calligraphy."
As he spoke, Master Liu looked at Fang Zheng with contempt.
After Fang Zheng heard this, he was almost happy. He had seen shameless people, because he was a role model among them. Now compared with Master Liu, Fang Zheng suddenly realized that he was definitely a model among people with good conduct!
Master Liu looked around and continued: "I have been thinking hard about the breakthrough of Chinese calligraphy. I couldn't sleep day and night. After a month of hard thinking, I finally found inspiration at the seaside. I saw a child holding a pull-out I was playing with the water gun there, and suddenly I had an idea. This water gun is a good thing...
Why do you say that
Everyone knows that the most troublesome thing about writing calligraphy is that when you start to write, you run out of ink, and you have to dip it in ink. With this coming and going, you lose all your passion and interest. What a disappointment!
But this water gun is different. When it is full, it can let you write as much as you want! This is the treasure of writing!
So I gritted my teeth, put down the brush, picked up the water gun, and started creating the three-foot shooting book.
Just like the Renaissance, many people don't understand art, but so what? If you don't understand, we need the advanced people of our times, the progressive people of evolution, to lead and drive.
I am the founder of the era and the promoter of world literature and art, so even if I face the criticism of thousands of people, I am bound to do so!
Some people say that this is not art. That is because your mortal eyes cannot understand the essence of my art. Not to mention you, even the so-called traditional calligraphers can't understand it. Why? Because their practice is not enough!
So, I’m not afraid of questioning, but I really hate being asked questions all the time. You can be ignorant, but you are not qualified to judge my work! "
After saying that, Master Liu raised his head and looked at Fang Zheng with an arrogant expression, as if to say: "Do you have anything else to say? You bald thief with no taste?"
Red Boy pulled Fang Zheng and said through the voice: "Master, this guy has become a spirit. He talks in one way. He seems to be well prepared. With this mouth, he can talk even if he is dead. He is an absolute professional liar." Ah, I’m afraid you, a part-timer, can’t defeat him.”
Fang Zheng ignored Red Boy, but said calmly: "The poor monk does not understand art, but he knows that all art in the world comes from life and is higher than life, but in the final analysis, all art is for use, not for nonsense. .
Calligraphy is calligraphy because the words written are not only beautiful, but also understandable. It can be used and read. There are thousands of mountains and rivers hidden in the words, and the words are as pleasing to the eye as pictures.
Therefore, true art is the coexistence of use and appreciation. But look at your..."
At this point, Fang Zheng patted Red Boy's head. Red Boy knew that it was time to curse and it was his turn to appear, so he immediately shouted in cooperation: "Look at you, what the hell!"
Master Liu said unconvinced: "Who told you that calligraphy must be understood? How many people can understand cursive calligraphy? It is a mess that many people can't understand. Isn't it still calligraphy? My calligraphy, You can’t understand, just because you don’t practice enough! Moreover, calligraphy pays attention to the continuous charm. When using a traditional brush, you have to dip it in ink every time. In this way, the charm is easily lost. Such backward calligraphy, shooting calligraphy Why can’t it be replaced?”
Fang Zheng smiled: "Do you really understand calligraphy, or do you pretend to understand calligraphy? Calligraphy emphasizes the continuous charm, which is about a kind of artistic conception, rather than the form of writing a word coherently. It is momentum rather than style! Therefore, calligraphy Li also said: "The pen breaks, but the meaning continues!" "If you don't reach this level, even if you write a thousand words in one stroke, it will still be broken!"
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Although China has a history of five thousand years, and our ancestors have left us countless treasures, in the long history, ignorant people have thrown away many treasures, and now there are not many left. .And you still want to use this rare treasure to embarrass yourself. You are willing to destroy this treasure just to attract attention. What is your intention
Tell me, what are you writing about? Two twisted lines and a circle, what is this? "
When Master Liu heard these words, he was a little speechless. After holding it for a long time, he raised his head and said proudly: "It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. You don't understand, so you are not qualified to judge my quality!"
When Fang Zheng heard this, he immediately became angry. This grandson really knows how to show off. He can talk nonsense. If he can't explain it, he will use a way that you can't understand and you are too low-level to explain it. He will step on you by the way. A kick to lift himself up.
Fang Zheng is unhappy, Fang Zheng is very unhappy!
Hong Hai'er asked Fang Zheng, "Master, what should we do? This grandson is playing like this, you can't defeat him at all."
Fang Zheng touched Red Boy's head and said, "It doesn't matter. A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything. I'm a teacher watching over you. Come on."
