Chapter 423: Dang Yi Di
It is also "Chou Bi Yi", but except for the neck couplet, this song is almost universally known, and the rest of it is not so well known.
The author of this poem is Luo Yin, originally named Luo Heng. He became famous for his talents at a young age and was also a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty.
It is a pity that after participating in more than ten Jinshi examinations, they all failed, which is known as the "Ten Failures" in history.
So he changed his name to Luo Yin and lived in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain. Later, he took refuge with Qian Liu, King of Wuyue, and served successively as Qiantang Ling, Si Xun Langzhong, and Geishi. He was known as Luo Geishi.
One of his most famous poems should be "Giving Yunying to the Prostitute".
Zhong Ling was drunk for more than ten springs and saw Yunying again.
I am not famous yet married, so I may not be as good as others.
It should be said that the artistic conceptions of the poems written by Luo Yin and Li Shangyin's "Choubiyi" are similar.
Luo Yin's dissatisfaction is also similar to Shi Yannian's dissatisfaction.
But after all, Zhou Zhi still lacks that kind of mental tempering. Although he is substituted into the poetry, he is not personally sad and angry.
Although there are some difficult feelings in the writing, it is more mixed with the calmness of God's perspective.
Even so, after Zhou Zhi finished recording a poem, he was already convinced that his calligraphy progress had broken through before and reached a higher level.
This is a bit like Zhang Zhi watching the princess and the woodcutter fighting over the road, and Wang Xizhi watching the goose.
In the past, Zhou Zhi thought that even if it was helpful to learn by analogy in art, it would not be enough to make rapid progress once he understood something. Most of the allusions were based on conjecture, and the story was stronger than the truth.
But unexpectedly it turned out to be true.
So I bowed respectfully to the calligraphers on the wall, then my stomach growled, and I remembered that I hadn’t eaten dinner yet.
Fortunately, he is also familiar with Fourth Uncle’s house, and there is something particularly fragrant here.
That is fried noodles made by a master from Ganshan.
The fried noodles are made of flour, soy flour, sesame powder, walnut powder, peanut powder, as well as several Chinese medicinal materials such as chicken gizzard, atractylodes, hawthorn, etc., as well as animal fats. Made by frying white sugar and salt.
Take this with you when you go hunting in the mountains. It has high calories, makes you full easily, and won't cause constipation when you're hungry. It's very convenient to carry and eat. You can eat it dry or add water to make a paste.
For Zhou Zhi, none of the above are advantages. The biggest advantage of fried noodles is that they are delicious.
After making a large bowl of fried noodles and eating them, Zhou Zhi found that he was a little too excited.
There is also a refreshing thing in Fourth Cousin's fried noodles - tea powder.
Since I can't sleep, I just continue working. The next task is simple, which is to apply alum water to the calligraphy works on the wooden wall.
The function of alum water is to fix the color, and it is used to polish the new paper for repair. Firstly, it protects the work, and secondly, it lays the foundation for the next repair a hundred years later.
After finishing the processing, Zhou Zhi took off the wet towels on the table one by one and started to continue the unfinished work of the fourth aunt.
"Sitting on a Dragon" was also painted on paper by Cheng Xintang. What we have to do now is to use the pad of our middle finger to push the water-soaked center of the painting to make the cracks connect seamlessly.
After that, I took the homogeneous Chengxintang paper that my fourth aunt had already processed and colored, cut out thin strips to cover the broken parts of the painting, and then used a brush dipped in paste water to smooth the strips little by little.
This operation is detailed, repetitive and requires concentration. It is actually quite a laborious task.
After Zhou Zhi put various patches on the scrolls, the sky began to light up slightly. The fourth cousin got up and came to the study. When he saw Zhou Zhi just finishing posting the last note, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "Young people can endure it."
"I'll make breakfast. Will omelette noodles work? ”
"Okay, use Erhua oil and put some shredded ginger." Fourth cousin's uncle was a little picky about his food: "I'll do some kung fu first."
Four cousin's kung fu is a kind of southern style. In this type of boxing, there are very few movements on the legs, and most of them are reactions from the body.
One strange thing is that with some stretching movements, the joints, including the spine, will make a communicative clicking sound, which is quite strange to hear.
My fourth cousin kept a secret about this Kung Fu. Zhou Zhi once thought about learning it when he was a child, but his fourth cousin just smiled and touched his head, saying that there were many ways to keep fit and there was no need to learn this.
One punch lasted about fifteen minutes. By the time the punch was over, Zhou Zhi had already taken his fourth aunt out from the inner room and finished washing up.
The next three people started to have breakfast. During the meal, the fourth cousin asked Zhou Zhi: "Did you have any experience last night about Luo Yin's "Caibiyi"?"
"There are some, mainly in the rhythm and adjustment of attack, some more skills, and the confidence to control the skills."
"Well, eat quickly. After eating, let's try it with a scratch pen."
"Grab pen?" Zhou Zhi rarely writes in big characters because he feels that he doesn't have enough control.
"Yes, if there is a real entry, it will be most obvious in the big characters." The fourth aunt is also an expert. She only gave up calligraphy after she became inconvenient, but in fact she is also an absolute expert.
"Okay."
After dinner, the three of them came to the study room. The fourth aunt looked at the restored Dharma stickers on the wooden wall and couldn't help but marveled: "This wonderful writing by Shi Yannian , "Han Shi Tie" should also give way."
"Han Shi Tie" is a famous work by Su Shi. It is known as "the third best running script in the world" and is admired by literati of all ages. It is also an heirloom treasure for collectors.
There are also seals and inscriptions collected by many famous people. The time span from the Song Dynasty to modern times has caused the "Han Shi Tie" to become longer and longer.
Among all the inscriptions and postscripts, the most important one is the one who was contemporary with Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian.
He once wrote next to "Cold Food Post":
"Dongpo's poem is like Li Taibai, but he is afraid that Taibai will not be everywhere. This book includes Yan Lugong, Yang Shaoshi, and Li Xitai The meaning of writing. If you try to restore Dongpo, it may not be as good as this.
If someone in Dongpo sees this book, he should laugh at me for calling me a Buddha in a place where there is no Buddha.”
Therefore, "Han Shi Tie" should actually be regarded as a collection of works by the two great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi and Su Men Licking the dog, calligraphy achievement and su Huang Tingjian, who was compared with Shi.
The fourth aunt's evaluation of Shi Yannian was that his calligraphy was even better than that of Su Dongpo.
At that time, Shi Yannian was very good. In fact, Ouyang Xiu, who was Su Dongpo's predecessor and wrote the postscript for Shi Yannian, can actually be regarded as Su Dongpo's mentor.
And Su Dongpo has always regarded himself as Ouyang Xiu's successor and respected Ouyang Xiu as the leader in the literary world. The first generation of the sect leader, without hesitation, said that he was the second generation, and even greeted anxiously: "You third generation, don't pull your hips, hurry up and follow me, otherwise I don't know who to pass the throne to..."
To be fair, Zhou Zhi also believed that Shi Yannian's calligraphy was better than Su Shi's. Ouyang Xiu and other great literati of his generation, such as Mei Yaochen, highly praised Shi Yannian's calligraphy. However, these big guys highly praised Su Dongpo's articles. , but there is no evaluation of his calligraphy.
The people who admire Su Dongpo's calligraphy are not these predecessors, but Su Dongpo's admirers of his generation and his descendants.
"It's so tragic that "Han Shi Tie" will be ranked fourth in cursive script in the world." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "The helpers are not good enough. Only Huang Tingjian is outstanding, but he can't beat Ouyang Xiu and Su Maiyue here. Ke Cai Jing Zhao Ji Ouyang Xuan”
