"Don't force me to be barbaric, because when I become barbaric even I am afraid of myself." This sentence is the most appropriate to describe Fang Yan.
Although Fang Yan is the descendant of a Tai Chi family, he has always considered himself a cultured person due to the influence of his grandfather and mother.
Drinking tea on the mountain top, writing on a snowy night, drinking wine in a bamboo forest, reading poetry on a rainy day. This is what a cultured person should do.
Beating and scolding is so uncivilized and uncultured.
But you can't bully me. Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry, let alone a cultured person.
Fang Yan himself is a great calligrapher, at least that's what he thinks. Although his calligraphy is not as divine as that of his grandfather Lu Zheng, it is still possible to reach the level of heaven and earth.
Ueno Daisuke's calligraphy is very good. Judging from the layout structure and the heavy ink, it is no problem to rank it as the best. In other words, Fang Yan reluctantly agreed to rank Ueno Daisuke on the same level as himself.
However, Xiao Pinqing's handwriting was different. He had already entered the realm of taking spirits, which was slightly stronger than himself, but weaker than his grandfather Lu Zhangdaqiaobugong.
When Xiao Pinqing asked Fang Yan for advice on calligraphy, Fang Yan only talked about ideas, not brushwork, because he knew very well that Xiao Pinqing was far better than him in Weibei calligraphy.
Especially the word "filial piety" written by Xiao Pinqing today with full energy, the essence, spirit, and soul are all there. It has already faintly possessed the demeanor of a master of the generation.
Fang Yan was so delighted after reading it that he even had the urge to eat the words.
A movie called "A Bite of China" can whet one's appetite, and a good word can also broaden one's horizons.
This word is written in my eyes, in my mouth, and also in my heart.
However, in Fujino Saburo's mouth, it became Ueno Nobita who was better. How could Fang Yan tolerate this
Fang Yan was so emotional that he cursed a lot, causing everyone present to look at each other in bewilderment.
The Wu Ren inspection team was the first to react. The students all had angry expressions, and they looked like they were ready to fight Fang Yan for three hundred rounds.
"How can you curse at others? It's so uncivilized----"
"Did he curse at anyone? What did he curse at? Bullshit - it's so hateful."
"Make him apologize. Apologize to Mr. Fujino-----"
--------
Matsushima Ji was really angry this time. She said to Lu Chaoge beside her with an unhappy expression: "Principal Lu, I need an explanation. I really can't understand why your school treats us like this. This is not only disrespectful to our staff, but also involves personal attacks and insults-----"
Lu Chaoge frowned slightly. She also felt that Fang Yan was a bit too much to call someone "bullshit" in public. Can't you just call him in private
Moreover, as Matsushima Ki said, if she couldn't give an explanation, this matter would be really difficult to handle. Wuren Senior High School is a famous school in the East. They have formed a friendship school with Suzaku Junior High School. The cause of this matter is quite complicated and involves many famous big names.
If this incident is not resolved well, Wu Ren will be angry and want to cancel the friendship school with Zhuque, then many people will be punished. At least, she, Lu Chaoge, will bear the main responsibility.
Even more so, if this matter is reported to the Japanese Embassy and exploited by someone with ulterior motives, it could escalate to a higher and more serious level.
These are what Lu Chaoge doesn't want to see.
Lu Chaoge walked up to Fang Yan and said, "Teacher Fang Yan, you must give Mr. Fujino an explanation. Get his forgiveness."
Fang Yan looked confused and said to Fujino Saburo, "Mr. Fujino, do I need to explain to you?"
"You insulted me." Fujino Saburo was so angry that he jumped up and down. He was a senior teacher at Takehito Senior High School and a famous researcher of Chinese culture in Japan. Japanese people respected teachers and cultural people very much. Even when the Japanese Prime Minister met him, he was kind and amiable. He had never been scolded like this in his life.
"I still don't quite understand-----" Fang Yan said. "Which of my words insulted you?"
"You said I was talking nonsense - I'm a researcher of Chinese culture, don't think I don't understand the meaning of these two words." Seeing Fang Yan acting crazy, Saburo Fujino became even more furious.
"Yes, I did say the word fart." Fang Yan admitted frankly.
"In that case, what else do you have to say?"
"But I didn't say you farted." Fang Yan said. "I said someone farted. Didn't you smell a foul odor just now?"
"You-----you are making a fuss. You were clearly talking about me-----"
"Did you fart just now?"
"It's not me." Fujino Saburo said angrily. He hated being wrongly accused.
"If not you, then who is it?"
"How do I know who it is?" After Fujino Saburo finished shouting, he realized that he had been completely distracted by this guy. "I mean, you said the word fart and then you talked to me directly, which is obviously an attack on me-----"
"Look, you misunderstood me again." Fang Yan said. "Mr. Fujino, you are a guest from afar. Our country is a country of etiquette. How could I curse you? The thing is, I smelled a foul odor at the time and thought you farted, but I felt that it was a bit rude to tell such a fact, and it would embarrass you, so I immediately changed the subject - maybe there is a problem with my language expression ability, and the change of subject was not natural enough, so you misunderstood it. If so, I now solemnly apologize to you."
"It wasn't me who put it there." Fujino Saburo almost yelled. How could such a thing be so unclear
Fang Yan looked at Fujino Saburo in astonishment and said, "Even if that's the case, you don't have to be so excited."
"------"
Lu Chaoge stood aside and watched coldly, thinking that this solution was a good idea. Fang Yan would definitely not want to apologize. However, if he didn't apologize, Fang Yan did curse, and it would be difficult to explain to the other side.
Fortunately, Chinese culture is profound and extensive, and a word can have countless interpretations.
Matsushima Ji saw that the two had argued for a few sentences but to no avail, and that if they continued to argue, Fujino Saburo would only suffer more, so he could only say, "Since both contestants have already written their words, let's review them carefully."
"That's what I meant." Lu Chaoge immediately responded. She was more than happy to be able to resolve this matter.
Song Daoji glanced at Fang Yan and said, "Teacher Fang Yan, since you understand calligraphy, you can comment on these two pieces of calligraphy first."
"I'm embarrassed. I'm not a judge." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Let the judges do the judging. You are the experts."
"You judge first, and we will decide the final outcome," said Matsushima Ki. This means that you can express your opinion, and it is up to us to accept or not.
"Since Principal Matsushima has invited me, I will respectfully obey your command." Fang Yan said.
He first walked to the words of Ueno Daisuke and said very frankly: "I don't understand Japanese, so I don't understand what this sentence means. Who can help me translate it?"
"Swallow the precious sword and abandon the famous bow, just to watch the breeze." Someone said.
Fang Yan repeated it and said, "Good handwriting. Good sentence. We often say that a good horse goes with a good saddle. In my eyes, Ueno Nobita's handwriting is a good horse, and this sentence is a good saddle. The combination of words and sentences can better show the artistic conception. If he wrote 'Ueno Nobita was here', no matter how beautiful his handwriting is, he would lose a lot of points. Isn't that the truth?"
What Fang Yan said was so interesting that everyone laughed out loud.
"Just watching this breeze, this sentence is very good, giving people a feeling of giving up fame and fortune and forgetting the troubles of the world, just listening to the wind and appreciating the moon. Ueno Daixiong's calligraphy is delicate and elegant, and one stroke after another forms a line, just like a crescent moon and a gust of wind. It makes people feel relaxed and happy."
When Nobita Ueno heard his classmate's translation, he bowed slightly to Fang Yan to express his gratitude.
When he was grinding ink, he thought of this sentence and considered writing it as a crescent moon and a gust of wind. Fang Yan went straight to the heart and expressed his intention completely. He is indeed a master of calligraphy.
Fang Yan smiled at Ueno Nobita, looked at him and said, "But this calligraphy has a fatal flaw. That is, it is too rouge-like. Ueno Nobita, you only focus on its form, but not its spirit. You only express this breeze, but what about the six words "swallow the sword and abandon the name of the bow"? Without the beginning, how can there be the combination at the end? Without the sacrifice at the beginning, how can there be the gain at the end?"
Nobita Ueno's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
"If I'm not mistaken, Nobita Ueno learned calligraphy from a female teacher, right?" Fang Yan asked.
After listening to Fang Yan's words, Ueno Nobita nodded and bowed to Fang Yan at a ninety degree angle.
He learned calligraphy from his mother, whose surname was Konoe. She was a descendant of Konoe Nobuyoshi, one of the three great calligraphers who emerged during the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era in the Momoyama period of the East. People also called those three people the "Three Calligraphers of the Kan'ei Era".
Even his teachers and classmates at school didn't know who his mother was, and he never mentioned it to anyone. However, Fang Yan, a Chinese teacher, saw through it at a glance.
Fang Yan helped Ueno Daixiong up and said with a smile: "If it was that lady who wrote this calligraphy, I would give her a higher evaluation. And the heavy rouge smell I mentioned is not a disadvantage, but an advantage. Because it is a woman's characteristic."
"But, Ueno Daisuke, you can't do that. You are a man, and if you deliberately imitate the teacher's writing style, you will make a fundamental mistake - there are differences between men and women. Women can't learn the boldness of men, and men can't write with the tenderness and delicacy of women. No matter how hard you try. Right?"
"A single word is worth a thousand gold coins." Ueno Nobita bowed again, thanking Fang Yan for his selfless advice. He finally found out the shortcomings of his calligraphy, which had a profound impact on his future development.
