Chapter 804 Incomplete Writing Skills
In such a general environment, Eiichi Anzhai is also facing his own problems. His industry is a foreign trade trading company, and he is one of the first batch of island companies to be hit.
Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, if this trend continues, it will soon become "the landlord's family has no food left."
Recently, Eiichi Anzhai's trading company is planning to transform. His son Haru Anzhai, who has newly mastered the actual operation of the trading company, has set his sights on the paper industry and built a large factory in Southeast Asia to produce printing paper.
So Anzhai Eiichi's hands may be tight recently. This is Li Lexui's judgment.
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "I wonder what Mr. An Zhai has to teach you?"
An Zhaiying smiled and said: "How about we chat in private for a while?"
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Anyway, it's still time before the dinner. I have a little time, isn’t it a private matter that has nothing to do with this auction?”
Zhang Zongxian and Li Jianchen looked at each other: "If it has nothing to do with the auction, then let's avoid it."
This sounds nice, but it has to be understood in reverse, that is, if If it is related to the auction, then it should be told and let everyone know.
Anzhai Eiichi was put off, but now that he had something to ask for, he had no choice but to tell the truth: "I heard that Mr. Xiao Zhou also participated in the appraisal of the fragments of the "Dainichi Sutra" and concluded that the Dainichi Sutra is authentic. The paper used for writing the Great Sun Sutra is the famous Shuzhong paper in the Tang Dynasty - yellow wax paper? "
"Yes" Zhou Zhi nodded.
Now everyone's interest aroused again. Xu Zhantang is a famous collector of calligraphy and paintings. He pointed at the fragments of the "Da Ni Jing" that had been displayed on one side: "Let's go over there and look at the things and talk about them." What do you say? "
Of course Lin Wanqiu wants it. Zhou Zhi, this treasured brother, is simply a gift from heaven. The one who raised the price of his own auction immediately smiled and said: "The banquet is still being arranged, and there is still time to teach another lesson."
So everyone came to the "Da Nikkei", An Zhai said first : "Zen Master Kukai is a famous master of Buddhism and calligraphy in our island country. I wonder if you know him?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Li Jianchen said with a smile: "I guess they are all like me. Because of this post, I asked my assistant to check the information. After a temporary understanding, it is definitely not as detailed as the introduction you gave us, Mr. Anzhai."
Everyone nodded again, and An Zhaiying smiled and said: "Then let me introduce it to you first."
"Zen Master Anhai's common name is Saeki Shinyu, his initiation name is Kamikaze Vajra, and his posthumous title is Kobo Daishi. for its calligraphy He was known as the "Five-stroke Monk" because of his strong skills. "In 804 AD, Zen Master Anhai arrived in Chang'an, China, to study the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He returned to China two years later and founded the Shingon Sect of Buddhism."
"There are many writings on the island, including books related to calligraphy and literature, including "Wen Jing Mi Fu Lun", "Zhuan Li Wan Xiang Ming" and other books. A lot of Chinese cultural materials have been preserved, which is helpful for understanding the scholarship of the Han and Tang Dynasties."< br>
"His calligraphy is regarded as a treasure in the island country. Among the works recognized as authentic are "The Return of the Deaf Blind" written before the Tang Dynasty; "Album of Thirty Calligraphy Calligraphy" written during the Tang Dynasty; "Wind Letter Calligraphy" and "Initiation Calendar" written after the return to China. , "Vajra Prajna Sutra", "Cui Ziyu's Motto", "Seven Mantras" "Zong Xiang Pian Parallel Statement" and so on. "
"The first calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty was Er Wang. The writing style of Er Wang was a secret of the Wang family in the Jin Dynasty. It was passed down to Zen Master Zhiyong because he was a monk. He had no children, so he taught his writing skills to his apprentice Yu Shinan."
"From Wang Xizhi's ancestral brushwork began to leak out, and Zhang Xu, his eleventh generation disciple, began to recruit disciples on a larger scale. Yan Zhenqing was his most famous disciple."
"Zhang Xu also had two disciples - ——Xu Hao, Cui Miao "After Kukai arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to be in Korea. Han Fangming first learned calligraphy from Xu Hao's son Xu Xuan, and then joined Xu Hao's younger brother Cui Miao to learn calligraphy two years later. In this way, Han Fangming became the thirteenth generation successor of Wang Xizhi."
"So Master Kukai is actually the fourteenth generation descendant of Wang Xizhi, and he is also the one who brought the secret brushwork of the two kings to the island country, so he is praised as the 'island country Xizhi' in our country."
These are all According to the information that could be found, Anzhai Eiichi did not want to raise Kukai's worth, but there was no way to hide it, so it was better to tell it openly and openly.
Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Of course Zen Master Kukai is a master of calligraphy, but if we carefully study his brushwork, we can see that although the style of writing was prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, compared with Huaisu and Zhang Xu, the style is very different. I think it is debatable to say that Zen Master Kukai obtained the secret writing methods of the two kings. "
"However, it is recorded in "Linchi Jue": "Zhang Xu of Wu County said: Since Zen Master Zhiyong crossed the river, the regular script followed him." Zen Master Yong He was the grandson of Xi and Xian and passed on his family law to Yu Shinan. Yu passed it on to Lu Jianzhi, and Lu passed it on to his son Yanyuan, who was his uncle and passed it on to me. Otherwise, how could we know the words of the ancients?'"
"Han Fangming is "Grass Saint" Zhang Xu is a disciple of another generation, and Zhang Xu's calligraphy is in the lineage of Sun Zhiyong, the seventh Zen master of Wang Xizhi. Therefore, from the perspective of calligraphy genealogy, what you said, Mr. Anzhai, is no problem to Han Fangming. "
"But judging from the calligraphy style, Zen Master Kukai's calligraphy only inherits the calligraphy style of the Jin and Tang Dynasties in the knots, but in terms of brushwork..." At this point, Zhou Zhi shook his head again: "I still think the style difference is too big "
Unexpectedly, An Zhaiying said with a smile: "We can say that, of course there is a basis for it."< “Oh?” It comes with calligraphy and a 'picture of writing'!"
"Is this picture the original one?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"This is not the case. Judging from the content, the knotting, and the drawing of the finger sleeves, we can be sure that it is a copy of a block copy. It is preliminarily concluded that it is a copy of the blockbuster edition of Yuan Jixian's annotations of the Kansho era. Judging from the time, the original manuscript of the blockbuster is The time of birth should be in the middle of the Qing Dynasty."
Zhou Zhi came from Lin Wanqiu. Li took the signature pen over and made a gesture: "I guess, what Zen Master Kukai left was a picture like this, or a picture like this, ah, and this posture."< br>
“Yes! The first posture!” Goro Sakamoto was shocked: “Have you seen “Picture of Writing”? "
Zhou Zhi rolled his eyes at him: "These are the most common ways of holding a pen. Except for the thumb, the index finger holding the tube with one finger becomes a 'single bract'; holding the tube with both hands is called a 'double bract'. Now Calligraphers often use double bracts when writing official regular script, single bracts when writing cursive script, and grasp the end of the pen tube for cursive writing. To maximize the writing space, it is called the 'single bract and three fingers holding the pen obliquely' method."
"In general, the closer the fingers are to the pen tip, the more conducive to the center's power, and the more stable and dignified the writing force is. , easy to write but difficult to pick, suitable for calligraphy that has a lot of writing and less picking. ”
"On the other hand, with the single-bract method, the farther the finger is from the tip of the pen, the more conducive it is to the change of sway, and the slightly slower writing stroke makes the picking of the pen easier and more powerful. It is suitable for calligraphy that requires both writing and picking."
"I Although I have not seen this engraving left by Zen Master Kukai, I guess that it Only what I just said is missing.”
Except for Zhou Zhi, the rest of the people present probably have little to do with the practice of calligraphy. Although Zhou Zhi was explaining and demonstrating with a signature pen, I just took it for granted, but I didn’t know anything else.
Sakamoto Goro was angrily and wanted to argue, but Anzhai stopped him: "I dare not ask Mr. Xiao Zhou, what part is missing?"
